strawberry and champagne birthday cake

I just ordered the champagne cake and cannoli for a teenage Covid birthday. The champagne cake was ridiculously good. Not too sweet and flavorful with a real kick. The cannoli shells were so light and crisp. They were amazing with the chocolate chips. We ordered a dozen cream horns and cannoli thinking that we would have enough and we literally all ate two of them...with the cake. Skip dinner and just eat Charming Kitchen desserts! Best Italian Bakery in the South Bay.

Excellent cannoli's for my girlfriends 40th birthday. Everyone was delighted!!! I'm Sicilian and almost made them....so glad we spent the day drinking mimosas instead. Thank you Charming Kitchen for not only the delicious desert but also for such a nice presentation!! Great Job!!!

Beautiful and delicious cake, cupcakes and cookies.

Our babies first birthday was made even more memorable by the stunning cake, cupcakes and cookies from The Charming Kitchen. All treats tasted as good as they looked. The cake was moist, with wonderful flavor, and not too sweet. The cupcakes and cookies were equally as delicious. Charming is easy to work with and makes sure everything turns out just right. Highly recommended for the next time you need treats at a special event!

Cannoli's delivered right to our home, this is 2 chocolate and 1 traditional.

While searching for a bakery in San Jose area now that Aki's is closed and Wilsons, I came across The Charming Kitchen. I am SO Glad I did. I didn't even know there was an Italian bakery in San Jose, let alone one that also has Sicilian treats too! While they don't have a storefront just yet, Vanessa is awesome and will deliver your order right to you! We ordered 6 cannoli and they were amazing! Very fresh and delicious! The cannoli tubes were just as good as the cream. They didn't last long in the house at all. My husband loved the citron one, while I preferred the chocolate and the traditional. I can't wait to try the other goodies she offers.

Amazing cakes, mini cupcakes, & cupcakes for bridal shower!

Over the weekend, we hosted a bridal shower for our best friend. Needless to say, we wanted to go above & beyond for her and throw the bridal shower of her dreams! We contacted The Charming Kitchen to see what they could do for us, and boy did they deliver. They made unique cakes for dessert, along with cupcakes & mini cupcakes. Not only did they taste amazing, but the desserts were decorated perfectly for the shower and the wedding colors were spot-on. It felt like the cakes even added to the décor just by being there. The desserts were easily delivered and set up on the day of the shower. The Charming Kitchen was great to work with, and the shower would not have been the same without their help...everyone loved the desserts!! Would definitely recommend The Charming Kitchen and work with them again!

Assorted Italian Cookies at Rose's 100th Birthday Party!

Well, I made that August order and the cookies did not last long at the party! Again, Vanessa delivered on schedule and was very pleasant and helpful throughout the order process. No particular cookie stood out as anyone's favorite because they were all so good! Thanks so much for making Rose's 100th birthday celebration so special.

We came here today to pick up an order for a pumpkin burnt almond cake for my birthday. My husband…read moreordered it for me, but I wanted to come with him to see what other goodies they had to offer. This was both our first time coming here. We used to shop and order our cakes from Dick's bakery, up until they burnt down. We loved their famous burnt almond cake. When I heard that Peter's makes an excellent burnt almond cake, as well, I knew that's where I wanted my birthday cake to come from. When I opened the door, to enter the bakery, a fresh smell of baked goods and sweets hit me in the best possible way. It smelled like fresh maple glazed donuts. I love that smell. We were warmly greeted by the staff. It wasn't busy at all, so we took our time looking for other sweets to purchase. They found our pre-ordered cake and they did a wonderful job decorating with a cute pumpkin on the top. We also chose an apricot danish, a maple bar and a raisin snail. The prices were very affordable and reasonable here. I really loved how all the pastries and cakes. were displayed in their cases. Everything looked amazing. They even sell fresh loaves of bread and rolls. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were immediately helped with a smile. I love the old fashioned vibe in here. Both pastry and cake boxes were tired up with sting, to properly secure our box. We paid for our goods and hurried home to try a few of them. The maple doughnut was good. I loved the icing better than the doughnut itself. The apricot danish was delicious and so soft. The apricots on the top were not overly sweet, which I prefer. The pumpkin burnt almond cake was so good. The cake was so soft and light with a wonderful pumpkin flavor that reminds me of fall. The frosting and custard filling paired perfectly with the pumpkin cake. The caramelized almonds covered the entire outer cake and offered a nice flavorful crunch. The whole thing works perfectly. I didn't even know you could get the burnt almond cake in pumpkin. A huge thank you to my friend John D. for letting me know about this limited time fall flavor. We will definitely be back for more soon.

I've been a loyal Peter's Bakery customer for 40 years, but my latest experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. On September 4, 2026, I ordered and paid for my mother's 96th birthday cake--a burnt almond cake--a day in advance. When I arrived to pick it up, the line was very long, and the wait took far too long. Unfortunately, the cake itself was unbelievably dry and crumbled with every bite. After recommending Peter's Bakery to family and friends for many years, I was embarrassed to serve this cake. Sadly, it took away from a very special birthday celebration. I hope Peter's Bakery improves both its customer service and the quality of its cakes.

Upon entering, I was really impressed with how clean and nice the decor was. The tables and chairs were really upscaled and I felt like I was visiting a fancy french style cafe. There was even a small quiet room for those who needed to do some computer work and outdoor seating. The staff was really great and knowledgeable about all the products. The display case showed all of the pastries they had available. I went to the counter and ordered a little of everything, just so that I could get a good feel for it. The only table service is they bring the order to you. I had an Apple Turnover, Ube Sesame Tart, Lemon tart, and a Mini Almond Croissant. These were house made and really fresh and excellent.

It looked so pretty and we had high hopes. We took the option of adding on a fondant banner for $5 in the store and settled on berry and vanilla. Whoever was helping us was really not much help at all. I guess at least she was honest, but she didn't know what any of the cakes tasted like and if it was buttercream or whipped cream. The cake itself was dry and hard: the texture was oh so wrong. I don't know if it was old, frozen for too long, or some odd ingredients? But for $65 for a small 6", it was very disappointing. We also got the small bisou and a small napoleon. Better than the cake, but still just ok.

Holy moly, why didn't anyone clue me into this place?! This is a true Parisian patisserie unassumingly on the corner of Meridian and Hamilton in a fairly rundown strip mall. It's a tiny shop with barely any seating, so plan to take your bounty home with you. The butter croissants (the only way to measure) are crisp, flaky heaven. They have a spread of other pastries but it's hard to choose anything different. Dare I say my favorite croissant in the South Bay, and reasonably priced too! Cherry on top is that they serve Chromatic Coffee, and the lattes are excellent. It's a new weekend staple for us.

I looked up the area and I found this place on Yelp! They had really great deals on pastries, considering most places charge six dollars on pastries, so I thought there were a reasonably priced. I also got my aunt an iced mocha and she loved it!! My niece loved the blueberry muffin I got and the chocolate croissant was perfect and crisp with just the right amount of chocolate. I also thought it was really sweet. How this quaint little shop had a bunch of regulars in it!! As I entered, the gentleman behind the register greeted me and another customer came in and he knew that Customer by me. So cute!! I will definitely be back here again to get some more pastries at such a great pre-pandemic price!! I hope they start making sandwiches or other types of food items!!

Japanese Egg Salad Sando -- 10/10 Tasted just like the ones we've had in Japan! So creamy, flavorful, and satisfying. 2. Longanisa Sando -- 10/10 Such a unique sando and SO good! What a great Filipino twist. The longanisa worked perfectly in sandwich form. 3. Potato Tostones -- 8/10 Very crispy and flavorful. The portion was pretty large and would be perfect for sharing with a group. 4. Pandan Butter Mochi -- 10/10 Great pandan flavor, the perfect chewiness, and not too sweet or heavy. 5.

Overall, such a great spot with a really fun menu. Bummed we don't have a place like this in SoCal!

Most of the table seems to be filled, luckily there was a few open seating left. The menu is straightforward and simple. We ordered the Breakfast Sando and the Longanisa Sando. Let me tell you everything came out fresh and delicious. The sandwiches were still warm and the bread was so soft and fluffy. We were able to enjoy our sandwiches, relaxed, and not felt rushed. Love this place of establishment. If you are ever in the area do stop by and try this place out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

When I placed the order, I mentioned that my daughter absolutely loves cats and said it would be wonderful if they happened to have any cat-themed decorations, although the bakery didn't promise that they would. They were very thoughtful and patient in communicating all the details with me. When I picked up the cake, I was genuinely amazed--it was even cuter than I had imagined! And sure enough, my daughter was SO happy to have a delicious kitty cake for her birthday. Seeing how excited she was made the cake even more special. You can really feel how much care and love they put into what they do. We had such a wonderful experience and highly recommend this bakery!

Vanilla donut (3/5): Donut was soft but the vanilla pudding filling tasted a bit artificial Mushroom and burdock bun (3/5): Bun was dense and cold and I think it would taste better warmed up. The filling itself could have been seasoned more, there was a lot of the sesame flavor which made the bun taste bitter Fried chow mein bun (3.5/5): Similar to the mushroom bun but with a fried exterior. I liked the concept but wished it was warmed up. The chow mein itself could have been more flavorful Ham & veggie sandwich (5/5): Friend ordered this and said this was her favorite item! Bread was soft and good amount of condiments and vegetables that were well seasoned. She said this was good value Spicy tuna sandwich (4/5): Friend ordered this and she liked it but it was a bit too spicy for her liking Strawberry cream sandwich (3/5): This item is exactly what you imagine it would taste like, nothing too special. The bread was soft and there was a generous amount of cream but compared to the other items, this was just average Overall, the baked goods were average but my friend really enjoyed her sandwiches. Would give Clover a 3.5 as a vegetarian, rounding up to 4 since I would come back to try other items.
