Jessica. Is. Awesome. She agreed to give a cookie decorating class for a local society, and her charisma was great! The quality of online classes is really dependent on the host's social skills and energy, and Jessica had plenty. And pregnant, no less! Aside from her entertainment during the class, I thought the quality of cookies and decorating materials was awesome. The cookies were soft and sugary but not overpowering. The frosting was so easy to use, and the sprinkles were so cute! She really put effort into making the kits spectacular, and the end result was equally so! Thanks so much! read more

I was introduced to Jessica and Toadily Baked Desserts through a (virtual) cookie decorating class recently. For the class, I purchased a cookie decorating kit as well as a cookie sampler and macaron sampler. Everything I ate was delightful, and I learned a ton about decorating cookies in the class. I also ordered a dozen custom cookies from Jessica, to give to my friends' son for his second birthday. I was able to give Jessica a few things that the birthday boy enjoyed (trucks, dogs and cats), and she was able to create some awesome cookies. I picked them up and delivered them to my friends, and he loved them, too! I will definitely order from Jessica again! read more

I haven't hired Jessica to make custom cookies for me, but given the quality of her icing and cookies, I would definitely do it in a second. So glad she helped to host the virtual cookie decorating class! In this weird and wild time, it was nice to do something that felt NORMAL! We paid for the cookie decorating kit which had six wonderfully tasting sugar cookies with icing enough for all six plus leftovers. Decorations included (loved the sprinkles). Everything wrapped and sealed for our health and protection. Even contactless pick-up! But beyond that the quality of the cookies were SO good! Just high quality ingredients making a great overall taste. Not overly sweet but just right. Would highly recommend Jessica and Toadily Baked. Great service, great cookies, and lots of love and care in one box. read more

I first saw Toadily Baked when they had a pop up at the Veranda. The cookies and macarons looked yummy but I wasn't able to make it there so I followed the IG page. Well she opened up some orders this week so I decided to order some macarons for the kids as a surprise. Payment via Venmo and pick up at her home in Concord. The packaging was nice and cute. The flavors we had were strawberry, lemon and cookies and cream. The strawberry and cookies and cream were fantastic! You can really taste the flavor. The lemon was good but I didn't taste any lemon, it was more like vanilla. Texture is perfect but the lemon needed a lemony punch. Overall delicious macarons! Definitely try them if you love macarons like we do! read more

I reached out to Jessica to make cookies for my daughters 6th birthday (which happened to fall on Mother's Day this year). I looked at TONS of cookiers on IG and unsurprisingly, most weren't taking orders because it was Mother's Day AND teacher appreciation week so understandably the demand was high. I put in my inquiry through her online site, it was really easy and straightforward. In that inquiry I explained the theme of the cookies and what I was envisioning. She responded in a timely fashion to confirm receipt. I sent her the deposit. And it was that simple. Other half of the total fees were due a week before pickup. But there was no back and forth after confirmation of my order. From just my online request via her form she was able to create exactly what I was looking for. Colors were vibrant, there was no bleeding, cracking, or air bubbles and icing was perfectly set the day of pick up. AND they tasted good! They weren't chalky or rock hard like the kind you might get at target or Starbucks. I picked up from her on 5/8 and ate the last straggler about a week later and it was still good. Will definitely order again! read more

Awesome. No other word describes better. We bought a couple of decorating kits and some macarons. I'm not a macaron fan. They've always been too dry,crispy and annoyingly messy. Not to mention not very flavor forward. But these, these macarons were even a couple of days waiting to be tasted and they were so delicious. Not too crisp but oh so puffy, flaky and just the right amount of chewy (I need to work on my vocabulary) as I worked my way to the creamy, buttery delicious center flavored expertly. Not to bold, not too light. And the kits! Opening up the Pizza kit made my mouth cry! It smells so good. Everything is sealed to ensure freshness and your decorating success. This is giving the family a great group activity. A chance to exercise some creativeness, have fun together and share a very special treat. This is also going to help me learn how to decorate cookies. When I need my Disney fix, I'll be able to grab my Mickey cookie cutter and make some magic at home. Highly recommend Toadily Baked if you want custom made desserts or do it yourself kits. I think you'll be delighted with your choice. read more

Toadily Baked is my go-to for making any occasion into a party. She does the treats for all my family's special events. I have given her countless themes over the years & she has nailed them all. My standard order for a kids birthday party is a mini-cake for the birthday girl to blow out her candle, cupcakes for the guests, & cookie party favors - all matching the theme. Everything tastes great & guests comment every.single.time on how cute they are. She's also great on turnaround times. She has squeezed in a custom order for me when she's been busy which I really appreciated. I follow her on IG @toadilybaked to stay in the loop on new products & events. So happy to have found you, Jessica! Thanks for everything! read more

We were completely blown away by the quality of the work done by Jessica of Toadily Baked Desserts! She is a true professional and her business is expertly run. My initial inquiry was promptly answered and I was given wonderful customer service! Payment was easy peasy and Jessica has a neat way of scheduling pick up - an online calendaring system where you can save it to your own calendar and set reminders. We had a change of plan in terms of who was going to pick up and Jessica was so accommodating. Now the product: as you can see in the photo, the cookies were so darn cute and personalized. They made a great party favor and were already wrapped in cellophane and ready to place on the tables. Typically, these kinds of cookies are pretty to look at but don't count on the taste...well, this isn't your typical pretty cookie. They were delicious!!! So buttery and yummy!!!

Oh my goodness...I really can't say enough great things about Jessica's skills, but I will. I bought a few decorated cookies from her in November 2019 at a boutique at Oakhurst Country Club. They were gifts, but my husband and I had one and we were in love. I can't believe that I have not saved pictures of any of the fabulous cookies that I have purchased from her. Not only are they beautiful, but they are also VERY tasty! Last Christmas I bought cookies from her to pass out as gifts, and we again got to enjoy some on our own. She included a few of her special Chocolate Chip Cookies as a thank you for purchasing a large order. I have reached out to Jessica for special orders, and she is always helpful to create and help me figure out how many treats I may need for my purposes. I haven't been able to take one of her classes yet (bad timing on my side), but I will even though she is a Master, and I prefer her making these beautiful sweet treats for me! I hope you reach out to her for your baking needs...you will NOT be disappointed. read more

The ratio of cream to bread was just right, so each bite of bread had a sweet balance of the fluffy cream. The sweet rice donut was okay. To be, it could have been more softer, but it was expected for it to go stale a little bit since it's been out lying for a while. Some things are just unavoidable. The chocolate cloud cake was really good, but there was so much cream. Unlike the buttercream bread, there was imbalance here, but I adored the giant strawberries sandwiched between the cream. The consistency of the actual cake was perfect though, because sometimes I know it can get really soggy from the cream. Next time I would give another cake a try instead. The milk cornet was great! Tried it out because it seemed really popular; there was only one left. This pastry like a croissant stuffed with milky cream. The cornet was perfectly crunchy and the milk cream wasn't too sweet. Next time, I want to give the blueberry version a try. The strawberry milk bread impressed me. It was super soft, and I like how there was a really small amount of cream. Like, I understood what the cream was trying to do there. One bite of just bread would be pretty dry, but a little bit of cream can help smooth things out but still keep the spotlight on the bread. The red velvet hot cocoa drink was what surprised me the most. I suppose this drink is Valentines day edition, so it's not always here. I was so surprised when I opened the lid and saw hot pink foam! Like, DANG! Tous les jours really went out of their way to give us a sip of Valentines day! This drink is on the sweeter end, though. A friend said that the caramel macchiato was just okay, nothing surprising or impressive about it. I guess it was a safe order. The baristas were really efficient with our drinks; both drinks took five minutes or less! I love the interior of this bakery. So cute yet so easygoing. Perfect ambiance for catching up with some girlfriends!

I don't know if you can imagine my joy when I saw the Paris Baguette sign off the main road while…read moreheading to the resort. As a Bay Area foodie, that sight instantly made my day. If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.

So I tried their berry cake. It was really good besides a little too heavy on the cream. But still…read moregood. Couldn't help but eat half myself. Also had picked up a slice of their tiramisu which was okay. There was just something different to the taste/quality. St least there wasn't a piece of plastic in it like last time. Still decent from ones I've tried. I still prefer Paris baguette over tour de jous.

We are going with Old Towne Danville Bakery as our baker for our wedding cake later this year. As…read moresoon as I walked in, it smelled SO good that I practically wanted to order one of everything they had. Karen, the owner, took the time to walk me through the sampler box of the different wedding cake flavors, even though it started to get busy in the store she was very kind to make it a personal experience. There were 12 different flavors in the sampler ranging from standard red velvet or vanilla cake, to some fancier ones such as poppy seed cake with lemon curd. Our favorite was the vanilla cake with apricot preserve and we will almost certainly be having that as one of our layers. I am very excited to continue working with them as we design our cake and next time I go in I will definitely be grabbing one of th delicious looking cannoli!

I was super overwhelmed handling other wedding details, and every conversation with them made me feel so comfortable. I talked to Karen a week beforehand to confirm all cake details, and she was SO warm and had the best "We got this! Don't even worry" attitude - I can't even describe how relieved she made me feel. They were able to make our whole cake gluten-free due to my own allergy. I have had celiac for almost 20 years, and still can't even bake anything remotely edible after countless attempts. The fact that they made this cake gluten free and we all RAVED about it is 1) a miracle in itself and 2) makes me actively very jealous that I can't try their normal baked goods! I didn't even really eat dinner at my own wedding, but you bet I had two pieces of cake. We are super grateful, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding cake!

Everything looked incredible in the pastry case and you can tell the pastries are made with care #1 in SF area for their croissants, which are buttery, flaky, and perfectly baked. You can watch the bakers through the window outside. What we tried: Honey Bear Latte ($6.25) - lightly sweet and comforting Almond Croissant ($7) - flaky with a generous almond filling Egg & Turkey Breakfast Bun ($6) - simple, savory, and satisfying Chouquette ($2) - light, airy, and the perfect little bite Kouign-Amann ($6.75) - crispy, caramelized, and buttery goodness Quiche Lorraine ($11.50) - rich and flavorful Chakchouka Croissant ($8) - a fun savory twist with bold flavors The space feels cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for brunch or a coffee break. Seating is first come, first serve, so it can fill up quickly on weekends. Staff members were so accommodating helping me with the adjustment of the sweetness of my latte. Tina's Tip: Ask for your pastries warmed up and order them "for here" - it makes a huge difference! Follow me @tinathaotravels for more Bay Area eats, lifestyle, travel, and adventures.

From the moment you step inside, there is an unmistakable warmth to the space not just from the ovens but from the overall vibe. It is bright, upbeat, and welcoming in a way that immediately puts you at ease and sets the tone for a great experience. We started with the Pop Tarts which deserve special recognition. These are not novelty pastries. They are elevated, flaky, buttery, and packed with flavor. The kind of treat that makes you pause mid bite and immediately realize this place takes its craft seriously. The breakfast burrito was equally impressive. Hearty, well balanced, and comforting without being heavy, it was clearly made with intention and quality ingredients rather than shortcuts. The waffles with blueberries and whipped cream were outstanding. Crisp on the outside and soft and airy on the inside, with fresh blueberries that added brightness and a whipped cream that felt light and indulgent rather than overly sweet. It was the kind of dish that manages to feel nostalgic and refined at the same time. Then came the pastries. Any attempt at restraint disappeared quickly. Everything in the case looked incredible and after tasting the first few items it became obvious that passing on anything would have been a mistake. We ended up buying far more pastries than planned simply because the quality across the board was that high. There were no weak links. What truly elevates Life Is Sweet beyond excellent food is the energy of the place. There is a positivity that fills the room and it is completely effortless. It makes you want to slow down, sit longer, and enjoy where you are. Whether you are stopping in for a quick breakfast or lingering with coffee and conversation, the environment naturally lifts your mood. Life Is Sweet is not just a bakery or breakfast spot. It is a place that genuinely enhances your day. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is inviting, and the experience stays with you well after you leave. This is a must visit in Danville and the kind of place you will find yourself thinking about long after the last pastry is gone.

I remembered a place on Jackson Street that I had gone to 5 years ago that had a tremendous selection - looked it up on Yelp and it was no longer on Jackson, but was listed in Castro Valley. So we went thought we'd go by and give it a try. Great decision! The "new" store in Castro Valley is much brighter, cleaner, nicer than the old location. I think the old location had more stuff from Eastern Europe, but this new location seems to have a broader selection, with more stuff from Western Europe and the Middle East. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful - always willing to answer questions and even give tips on how to use the products that they sell. And his recommendations have been great - we asked him about which tahini and zaatar to get (they have many different brands/types of each...) and the ones he recommended have been way tastier than any of the brands that you find in most markets. Especially good was his recommendation on lebnah - he said that the brands they carry are all good, but they have some that they package in-house that was special. I tried it - it was less expensive than the other brands, but was the very best lebnah that I have ever tasted! Richer, creamier, with just the right amount of tang. Wonderful stuff!
