    Dessert bar for my daughter's birthday was great, everyone loved it. My favorite was the pretzel rods. Thank you Kay!

    I found Kay, and with very short notice, she said that she would bake a cake for my Daughter and she apologized that it might be "simple".

    Continuing my quest to find the yummiest macarons in OC brought me to Sweetheart's Dessert Lounge…read more From their Yelp photo gallery I was excited to see that they offer quite a few flavors. But first, let's chat about how welcoming the owner is. She was very sweet and happy to share info about her business: she is one of three family members that own and run the shop; her sister does most of the baking; she's created a space that encourages people to stay and relax by having some books and games available that they can borrow while they enjoy their treats. I love that!!! So I came to the Lounge specifically for the macarons (which is one of the few things they source from an outside vendor). There are so many flavors to choose from that I ended up with a 6 pack ~ pistachio, rose, earl grey, taro, almond, and raspberry. The cookies were perfectly crunchy on the outside yet nice and tender in the middle. I was surprised to find some of them had more of a paste filling instead of the traditional creme filling. The pistachio, rose, and raspberry macarons were the only ones in which the flavors were actually distinguishable. Otherwise there was nothing much thst made any of them really stand out. The very pleasant surprise for me was their peaches & cream crumble. It was SO good! Not overly sweet, with juicy peaches, a delicate cream, and a crumble that was buttery and spiced to perfection. This is easily shareable with 2-3 people, but I unashamedly finished the whole thing by myself. Now before you go thinking that I had ALL the treats in one sitting, I did not lol. I did pace myself and broke it down to 3 tastings. Anyway, ending it on a very happy note, I'm already of dreaming of having another peaches and cream crumble that I may or may not share with a friend. And next time I'm there, I also have my eye on their Dubai chocolate strawberries and they're NYC cookies. More than one return visit is definitely in order!!

    Still one of the best cookie shops in Orange County / LA and I have tried them all. This unassuming…read moreshop is connected to a gas station and is easy to miss. If you like thick, soft chocolate chip cookies with an almost dough like taste - this is it! They have rotating flavors and also have tiramisu, banana cream cups and other items. I go there whenever I am in Anaheim. Fast and efficient.

    Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

    Cute, bright bakery with plenty of seating and a huge selection of pastries and cakes, from…read morecroissants and cruffins to salt bread, savory buns, and celebration cakes. The variety is definitely one of the strongest points here. We tried the Matcha Cruffin, Onion Cream Bread, and Three Cheese Bagel. The Onion Cream Bread was the best of the three. The cream was light and balanced well with the bread, but the onion flavor was pretty much lost. I could barely taste it. The Matcha Cruffin was disappointing. There was matcha powder on top, but absolutely no matcha filling inside. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe or simply missed the filling in ours, but for something sold as a matcha cruffin, I expected an actual matcha presence beyond the topping. The Three Cheese Bagel, made with cheddar, cream cheese, and mozzarella, had good flavor but the texture was much too hard. We were dining in and had it warmed up, yet the bread was still tough and the cheese inside had already hardened. Service was fine, but nothing stood out. Overall, great selection and a nice space, but the pastries we tried were inconsistent.
