Matcha Cookies
Juliet T.

Support AAPI female-owned local businesses!! The Little Baker is most known for their 4 inch custom bento cakes but they recently started to do Thai Tea and Matcha cookies! The best way to stay updated is to follow their Instagram (@thelittlebaker_sj) to find out when the form opens up and what dates are available for pick up. They sell out pretty fast and the form usually closes within 5 minutes, so plan what you want ahead so you can order it quickly! The form is basically what you would like to order, your information, and the date/time you will pick up the order. Keep in mind that the pick-up time frame is typically a weekday and 3-5 PM. When I ordered, there were a few tech issues with the form but I just let them know via Instagram that the form was funky. Despite the tech issues from the previous week's form, I was still able to get a confirmation via text and fulfill my order! What I ordered: * Custom Vanilla Bento Cake ($34): Since it's the 4-inch bento, it seems really small at first but IMO it's the perfect size for a celebration with a few friends. The cake was pretty sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet. A few bites for me is good enough to be content! You can share this with 3-4 people. *12 Cookies ($28): VERY sweet and soft cookies! You can definitely taste the Thai Tea and Matcha in the cookies. I liked the Thai Tea more than the Matcha though. These are the type of cookies you would need hot tea or something to wash down. 1/4 of the cookie is good enough for me to eat. I think they were freshly made when I received them because they were super soft! I got excited and grabbed one to take a pic but it was too soft to the point where it fell apart when I picked the cookie up. By the time I drove back, they hardened a bit and were easier to grab.

Truly an unforgettable experience ordering a cake from here! The cake had to be transported from San Jose to Castro Valley and upon arrival everything was perfectly intact! The packaging was very intentional as it came with utensils and a candle for the birthday occasion. The cake itself was too cute! It truly did cinamaroll justice haha the attention to detail was definitely the visual highlight of the cake. The cake was super delicious, many family members who ate the cake said it was moist, airy and not overwhelming sweet. My niece who I ordered this cake for loved it so much that she made it her profile picture for all her social media platforms!!!! From ordering, to discussing with the baker, to finally receiving the cake was a seamless and enjoyable experience. I would trust them to bake my future cakes on any other occasion!!!

So happy to have a bento cake creator in the South Bay! If you're looking to treat yourself or your loved ones with all things cutesy, this AAPI female-owned business is a strong contender. Her treats are just as tasty as they are cute. I recently attended her Valentine's Day Pop Up event at Westgate Mall, and despite arriving 25 minutes before opening, I must've had 100 people in front of me in line! Do keep this in mind if you'd like to attend future pop-ups. You can show up bright and early, brave the line, or just pre-order on Instagram when she's not preparing for a pop-up. I got a White Bear themed ube cake with cream cheese frosting. It was so cute that I almost didn't have it in me to cut a slice. But all good things in life must be eaten. (Take that advice with a grain of salt.) The cake itself was fluffy with the perfect amount of moisture. Same goes for the frosting, which had a great balance of sweet and tart. Ube tends to be pretty subtle as a flavor, resembling an earthy vanilla, so it came through a bit better in bites with less frosting. Really enjoyed it and its vibrant purple color! I'd say the whole cake is good for 2-4 people. It equates to two hefty slices or 4 modest ones. With a $38 price tag, that's an expensive few bites, but we all know we're paying for the artistry/novelty. The smile on everyone's faces will make it worth it. Since this pop-up is her last one at Westgate Mall, I'm looking forward to where she sets up her kitchen next. I need to get my hands on some of those Froggy Matcha cookies...

website detailing How To Order and first-come-first-serve clause
Therese N.

Ordered within the first 2 to 3 minutes the link was opened. Also had to swerve through some tech issues since the link did not pop up on Instagram at the time it was supposed to (had to manually type out the link based on a screenshot on LittleBakerSJ's story). The link is also only available on Instagram in the bio section, so the website won't have it. Filled out the form and submitted. Although orders are processed on a first-come-first-serve basis per the website, I guess my order wasn't considered at all and I'm a bit miffed since the cake I wanted was for an anniversary celebration coming up. Haven't had a chance to try the cakes yet, but customer experience so far has been pretty frustrating, so as cute as the cakes are I'll have to look elsewhere.

Super cute and tasty little cakes and cookies! Bought a custom cookies and cream Axolotl cake and Thai tea and matcha cookies! All three were great! Will definitely be ordering more cakes from the little baker :)

The best sweets in the bay! Not too sweet and always the perfect texture! My favorites are her Ube cakes and matcha cookies.

El pan y su sabor son de otro nivel: demasiado suave y fresco, ideal para los amantes del pan de banana. Y del relleno ni hablamos; la crema de vainilla es tan suave y deliciosa, sin ser demasiado dulce. Uno puede comer una buena porción sin sentirse empalagado, y el hecho de que tenga trozos de fruta fresca solo eleva aún más el sabor. Sin duda, se ha convertido en mi nuevo postre favorito. Mis más sinceros agradecimientos y felicitaciones para las personas que trabajaron detrás de la orden; sin duda, la mejor pastelería. 1000/10.

Once again, they absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I placed the order, the staff truly stepped it up and were nothing but professional, kind, and attentive. The cake itself was beyond anything I imagined-beautiful, moist, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. Every single detail lived up to how amazing this bakery is known to be. I ordered the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, and it was perfection. So rich, so tasteful, and not overly sweet-just perfectly balanced. Everyone at the baby shower could not stop complimenting the cake and asking where it was from. Sweet Passion's Bakery never disappoints. They consistently deliver excellence, and you can truly taste the love and care put into their cakes. I will absolutely continue using them for all my special occasions and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible cake.

I've been on the hunt for a new bakery, but my family keeps wanting to come back--specifically, my…read moremother. However, I think today solidified all reasons for my family to never come here again for business. It's a shame because their cakes USED to be really good. Beautiful, tasty, and a party hit for all. Now, it's none of the three. We came in this evening hoping to place an order for a birthday cake for my dad and best friend. We wanted a custom cake order and for it to be done later this week. Instead, we had a very pushy lady insist we buy our cake today AND take one off the shelf. UM. First, we came in to custom order a cake. If I wanted a cake today, I'd do that without needing you to waste my time explaining that the cakes are shelf stable for up to a week. And even then, who wants to buy a cake to sit in the fridge for a week! I would not want to spend $60 for a cake that's been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long and eat it a week later. That just doesn't sound like a good idea at all. The lady also wanted us to buy a cake on the shelf today AND bring it home and leave it in the fridge until the day of the party too... What the heck. We immediately turned around and kept walking. It just wasn't worth continuing to talk to her. Despite our multiple pleas to get a new cake, she refused. I really don't understand why they won't do custom orders anymore... Customers like the ability to determine the color, designs, and flavors! I'm sorry, but I do not want mocha and strawberry filling for my cake. I find it ridiculous that this lady kept telling us to just buy an old cake on display. -10000000000/10 for service. Last review. Will not be coming back and I advise all to do the same.
