One of the girls helped me decide on which specialty matcha to order and was so genuine and sweet which just makes the whole experience 10x better in my opinion. I went with the cardamom iced matcha.

I met with my cousin and he got the maple sage matcha latte. We ended up trading halfway through because they were both so good we wanted to try them both! I think maple sage was my favorite though.

It was "sole-crushing" to watch. The staff noticed and it didn't look like they tried to "put their foot down" to get him to stop as he's a regular and buys I guess a cup of coffee or another drink. Honestly, his behavior is just "un-toe-ward" for a coffee shop. I love this place, but management really needs to take a firmer "stand" when patrons treat the furniture like their personal living room. Those feet. They stare at me. Wiggle at me. Wink at me. Toy with me. Distract me. I want to sit near the window but it's not possible with those feet exposed and waving their toes at me. I cannot bring friends here any longer. I'm mesmerized and anti-mesmerized by them at the same time. The toe knows. The toe knows all. Update: Surprise. I haven't seen him there recently. Maybe the staff have said something to him. I can hope.

This is my absolute most favorite bakery. So this is my ode to the bakery and Dom, who is a gem of…read morean employee there. I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

For my…read morefirst visit, I decided to go all in on the ube theme and tried the Purple Velvet Cake paired with an Ube Latte. The Purple Velvet Cake was scrumptious! It's made with ube chiffon cake, macapuno (coconut) filling, and ube mousse. As soon as I took a bite, the cake practically melted in my mouth, it was so light, soft, and delicious! The slice was also a generous portion and was plenty to share with my husband and toddler, who couldn't get enough of it. The Ube Latte was also really good and paired perfectly with the cake. They have such a great variety of treats, including cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and so much more. I especially love that they incorporate popular Filipino flavors like ube and pandan, and I even spotted a seasonal calamansi offering. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back for more! There's still so much to try at Jennivee's Bakery, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

His tone was argumentative and condescending. I'm not a matcha expert, but the service was terrible. There may be many kinds of ceremonial grade matcha and it was not what she probably was used to, but there is no way to talk to a customer that way when she was speaking from a concerned tone. Location: great location. Ampule parking. Quality of coffee: It was bland for my liking(also tasted like mainly milk) and I can see why people would like to add more syrup or flavor. Therefore, I understand the concern about lack of flavor.
