Perhaps I'm used to the underground mall in New York with all of their decadent pastries in the Chelsea marketplace in New York, but this particular spot in Alameda was supposed to be one of the best pastries here on this cute little island. Perhaps it's just a cute little island aesthetics, but the pastries seemed rather traditional. The Yuzu tart was tasty and had good flavor, it was also around 2 PM on a Sunday, so maybe all the good pastries were gone. Service was great and very helpful, and another large family came in to the pastry shop as we were leaving. Maybe I'll try it next time and see if they have different seasonal pastries.

We ordered a dozen cinnamon rolls for Easter delivered. First time trying them…read more The ordering and delivery process went smoothly and on time. Yay! We didn't love the rolls though. Light on cinnamon flavor, somewhat underdone, and the cream cheese frosting had a distinctive sourness that surprised us. We will be continuing our search for cinnamon rolls in the near East Bay that are close to Cinnabon style--hard to find!

I chose 2 flavors, the lemon raspberry and the chocolate mousse cake with a layer of toffee cream. The cake was a hit and everyone kept asking if the cake was real.

Green House Bakery... what do I even say? Amazing…read more I preordered a Valentine's Day box and I'm so glad I did because everything was seriously good. Guava Cream Cheese Pain Suisse - 8.5/10 Really great guava flavor and a nice balance with the cream cheese. Not too sweet, super flaky. Jalapeño Cheddar Monkey Bread - 10/10 My favorite. SO good. Savory, cheesy, a little kick from the jalapeño... just perfectly done. Passion Fruit Curd Donut - 8/10 Loved the flavor. The curd had that perfect sweet-tart balance without being too much. Spicy Potato Brioche Bun - 7/10 Comes with pickled vegetable slaw, Kuali salsa macha, and garlic crema. The slaw was a little overpowering for me, but the garlic crema was honestly the best part. Everything felt really well made and thoughtful. Definitely ordering again.

Everything I tried was delicious--especially the croissant and the pull-apart bread. I picked up my Thursday order around 9:40 a.m. There was already a line, but it wasn't too long. I realized the line was for people without preorders who wanted to browse the house/store. I really wanted to wait and check it out myself, but I had to get back to work. Since I couldn't go in, I grabbed my boxes and headed out. The box pickup line moved quickly and was super easy. I'll definitely be ordering again and plan to check out the house/store next time!

It still feels like a small town ice cream shop and most importantly still rich, creamy, smooth, sweet ice cream. These days I take my kids in regularly and recently one of the servers (Gabe I think) remembered our order. Just a nice little touch on top of the quality ice cream. I do wish they had little kid sizes of T-shirts though.

The service was great and I really appreciated the enthusiasm of the young gentleman helping me. There was a sign saying the temperature of the freezers was quite high, which is why their ice creams are so creamy, but I guess creamy means they'll melt as soon as your handed your treat. Overall, it was quite messy and felt like the ice cream was minutes away from becoming a milkshake. For $7, I'll pass and go buy a pint.

I wanted to support an Alameda business for a recent event and came across Doodlecakes online…read more Rebekah was amazing throughout the process answering questions I had, keeping me updated on various flavors that were coming up, etc. The variety of cupcake flavors was awesome! The event guests had fun choosing what flavors they were going to eat and raved about the taste. I think my two favorites were the cookies and cream cupcake and the biscoff cookie cupcake. Highly recommend for any events you're hosting (they have regular cupcakes, mini cupcakes, cakes, etc.).

I especially love their mini cupcake platter that gives you the chance to sample all of the flavors they offer each week. They seem to change their menu often with the different creations such as Taro one week and maybe Strawberry Crunch the next. The owners are very friendly and always greet you with a smile. They have a fair amount of Gluten Free options as well and are just as delicious. A place worth checking out and 4.7 stars.
