Knowing the number of…read moreopportunities was limited, I joined her in finding something, coincidentally the same item that she ordered. I paused for only a day after picking it up in trying the guava cheese scones (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6zUCytWzCDDCG3fREWgEMw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), I ate my first one as is (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=l0wRu-R-cRi7FeekzUBv0g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and was surprised by the flavors, a mix of savory and sweet in the aftertaste. Not sure whether the savory part came from the cheese but it was certainly tasty. A few days later, I ate one and it just wasn't quite the same as the flavors were muted. I suggest reheating them in the oven if you don't have it right away. Do refrigerate them if you do not eat it right away. I was tempted to try the Afternoon Tea box but my primary doctor wouldn't appreciate me getting this for my family and me. I will keep my eyes open on other menu items and alternative ways to try her foods.

So I didn't buy these pies from Sweet Condesa, but got them as a treat from my bro, so I can't…read morereview the ordering process nor can I comment on the price, but I can review the mini pies that we received. ~ Calamansi Pie ~ The flavor of calamansi is definitely there. Think lemon/key lime like custard a tart lovely flavor, but it was just overtly sweet. I'm not a huge fan of super sweet things as it gives me immediate headaches. The crust was not really a crust. It fell apart as we put a fork in it. ~ Barako Coffee Pie ~ Like the calamansi pie, it was just so sweet. I would say I prefered the "crust" on this. It was very much more like a cookie/brownie like chew. Then there's a layer of a coffee custard. So think a custard filled cookie/brownie. I don't know if you could really call this a pie, but hey, it's in a pie tin...so I guess you could call it a pie. O V E R A L L I won't shun cakes or pies away. I just couldn't eat more than a bit without having a sugar headache. But if you do have a sweet tooth, then by all means, try them out! I'm not going to be finding my way to get more pies from here, just can't handle the sweetness...

This is such a yummy little dessert stop in Emeryville!

One little tip: remember to bring exact cash or use mobile payment it's usually the easiest option! That can save you a little hassle when ordering. Overall, a cute spot for satisfying a sweet tooth, especially when you want something different from the usual ice cream or cupcake.

A fun concept with a few highlights, but the execution didn't fully come together this time…read more Stopped in to try the tiramisu jar. The dessert is layered with espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, cocoa, and chocolate toppings, all presented in a convenient jar. The flavor leaned heavily on the coffee side -- almost to the point of being slightly bitter. The ladyfingers had more of a crunchy texture rather than the soft, soaked consistency you'd typically expect in a tiramisu, which took away from the overall experience. On a positive note, the whipped topping and chocolate sprinkles on the outside of the jar added a nice touch and were the most enjoyable parts. Parking in this area can be a bit of a hassle, as it's mostly metered, so plan ahead. Overall, a creative dessert concept with nice presentation, but the balance and texture didn't quite meet expectations during this visit.

The food was fantastic -- friends were still raving about it weeks later! We really appreciated the variety of options for different diets: salmon, fried tofu, and fried chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so well-prepared. And I also loved the biscuits: so flaky and buttery. The portions were generous without being too much- we had just the right amount of leftovers, which speaks to both how good the food was and how well Ben calibrated the number of guests. We couldn't have asked for a better experience -- highly recommend Sunnyside Catering!

I'm not sure if they are scarcely staffed or have a high turnover, but the location isn't always open. I don't see too many patrons here, which can be a good or bad thing. Good because you have the place to yourself, bad because- either the flavors or pricing could be undesirable. In any case, I'm pretty classic. They can help you satisfy a craving when in the area. Try them out. Quiet spot with lots of seating and navy tiled walls.

I'm not a big strawberry ice cream girl, but had MULTIPLE bites. We saw them make the waffle bowl in front of us and I've never had a waffle bowl before, so this could be a "me" thing, but it wasn't as crispy as I was expecting it to be. But my boyfriend seemed to like it. My affogato was more of a coffee with a scoop of melted ice cream. They brewed TWO *DOUBLE SHOTS* and poured them in a 16 ounce cup w 1 scoop of ice cream. If you get an affogato, ask for it deconstructed so you can control the amount of espresso/coffee.

OMG Y'all! I just had one of the best cheesecakes! I'm still remembering the last creamy…read moredelicious bites I had and wished I had gotten a chance to get more! I was looking for a treat for my dad's birthday and came across Maple St. Cheesecakes in Yelp. The pics and reviews looked wonderful- I think I "liked" all of the pics during my browsing. My dad chose the walnut ganache flavor - it has a layer of ganache followed by whipped cream, toasted walnuts and sprinkled with more ganache and sea salt. YUM. Needless to say, it was a HIT! Maple Street Cheesecakes has definitely made my top cheesecakes list and let me tell you why: -The owner Marina is so awesome and sweet - she responded to my inquiry right away and was so nice and helpful with the menu, and ordering/pick up logistics. She also provided updates on my cheesecake and gave me nice recommendations. Also, it looks from their website, her and her partner (Brent) are a dynamic duo with this awesome business (she is the owner/content creator and he is the baker.) - Menu looks SO tasty on the website - I totally want to try them all- they offer a mini quad set where you can try 4 flavors. I want to try the pecan and lemon! (recommended by Marina) - Ordering logistics was easy peasy- you order online, schedule a pick-up day/time and Marina brings out the cheesecake to you at their address. They also deliver! - Taste, presentation and creativity. Absolutely delicious- it really is love at first bite with the perfectly baked creamy cheesecake, toasted walnuts, chocolate ganache drizzles, and yummy graham cracker crust. It was packaged neatly and was a perfect dessert for 6 adults (2 had seconds so technically enough for 8 with big slices!) I can't wait to try the other flavors. Marina and Brent have a magical thing going with Maple Street Cheesecakes. Please support this local business - you will absolutely love their cheesecakes!!
