Today we purchased new items to try and some old favorites! New items that we tried and are so good: the mango and guava pre-packaged señorita bread, a pre-packaged guava pastry (at the register) and bought 3/$12 ube malasadas. Our family definitely enjoyed everything and we are so happy we came in and were able to get our hands on these coveted heavenly carbs today!

We bought 10, and 3 malasadas. I do not have much of a sweet tooth, but the texture of the bread is so pillowy and light especially when warmed. I can definitely see how these can be addictive. The ube malasadas were great too, not too heavy at all.

It seems family owned and operated, and the folks there were very friendly and kind. I came by and picked up a few items for the next couple of days. Very reasonably priced. Transaction was easy and the pastries were good.

Prices are still affordable too - college student friendly prices. Location is unbeatable - right in University Village (and parking is free now, don't need validation), walking distance from UCR, and right next to the University Ave freeway entrance/exit. We both each got a Cheesecake Slice, Matcha for me & Blueberry for him, and we cut them in half to share. Both were really good! Great value - I think they were only $3.75 each slice! Service was good. Ambiance - it's small and tight so there's nowhere to sit. My friend and I went over to Qamaria to find a table to sit down at instead. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if/when I'm in the area again!

Super light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, which makes it dangerously easy to keep eating. Pairing it with their cold brew was honestly the move--the coffee and cheesecake together were . The location itself is pretty small, so in my opinion this is more of a grab-your-cheesecake-and-go kind of spot rather than somewhere you're going to hang out for a while. The parking lot can also get pretty busy, so just keep that in mind. Definitely coming back because now I need to try some of the other flavors. If the Original was this good, I have some research to do.

It was our first spot and they did not disappoint. We weren't planned to get a dozen but we did and share some with our friends. Their cupcakes are super moist, not too sweet, and just delicious. At first I thought it would be heavy because of how much frosting is it. But to our surprise it wasn't and just perfect sweetness. Got banana pudding, strawberry & cream, Tre leche, pumpkin pie, banana cookie butter, and carrot cakes. Our favorite would be strawberry & cream, banana pudding, and carrot cake. That's one of the best carrot cake for sure. Customer services was great and great recommendation. I got to meet the owner for a little bit and she's so sweet too. Definitely will have to come back when we are in town again.

I put in a special order for a 4 pack of cupcakes 2 days before they needed to be picked up. I…read morepicked from the flavors that were already available in the case. The entire reason why I put in a special order was because I was told one of the flavors I wanted would be changed out on the day I needed to pick up the cupcakes and I wanted the cupcakes to be fresh. I was assured that the bakers that day would see the order and make the cupcake flavor special for my order. Lo and behold, I walk in to collect my order on time and I'm told they dont have my order ready AND they dont have the specific flavor I requested! The person helping me looked at my order and it was the first time she had ever set eyes on it. I had already pre paid for the order at this point and did not have another option so I was SOL. Instead they gave me an old cupcake in the requested flavor that they had stored in a fridge for who knows how long and filled out the rest of the order with what was in the display. So I basically paid full price for old cake. This was my first experience with this bakery and if this is how they treat something as basic as a simple small cupcake order, how am I to trust them to handle anything more complex like a custom cake or a wedding order? No thanks.

I needed to pick up a cake and some sweets which my original destination was closed for renovation…read more And I didn't know they had a location out here in Moreno Valley. Heading towards wine country, it was along the way off the 60. Made it easy as it was a couple minutes off the freeway. It's located in a pretty massive strip mall with loads of other businesses. Plenty of parking which is alway a good thing whenever you're somewhere. Simple storefront but once you walk inside the place was pretty big. On side of the bakery is where the pastries and baked goods are. If you haven't been to one of the chain stores, you grab a tray and help yourself to the package sweets. There's rows and rows of fresh baked daily goods. Every piece is individually wrapped. Not only sweets, there's also sandwiches which I didn't even know they had. Along the front where the cashier is, whole cakes and slices are available. Once you finished picking out what you want, take the tray to the counter and that's where they ring things up. Drinks can also be ordered there. I did pick up a couple of boxes of the individual pastries and sweets. Both savory and sweets. A while strawberry cake and two drinks. That came up to about 108.00. The staff were all pretty sweet and friendly. I overheard one of the other cashier asking another patron if they wanted something heated up. Which I asked the cashier that was ringing my order up but she couldn't heat my croissant up as it wasn't the pre wrapped sandwiches. Only sandwiches could be heated up. Oh well. As I ordered drinks, which the other half of the cafe is the dining area. First off, the place was pretty massive and majority of the space in the middle isn't utilized. Just an open space which the could have added more tables for seating. Even though there was good amount of people working the drinks counter, it took forever for our drinks to be ready. It seemed like only one person was making the drinks which I think took at least 10 minutes for my drinks to be ready. Overall, it a nice space and the shelves were fully stocked. Come first thing as you know everything should be fresh and available. Downfall, it took forever for drinks to be made and it wasn't that busy when we walked in.

(: We were very grateful for that. I got the Italian Grinder with no red onions and substituted the ham for turkey. I chose the pasta salad as my side, and the sandwich also came with some kind of vinaigrette. The flavors were good, but I think the bread started to come apart near the end, and I personally wish the red peppers had more of a pickled aspect! I also got the Lemon Cheesecake Bar (?), which was yummy, but it does have nuts on top. I think a crumble topping would be even better instead. (: The inside feels a bit dated, but the employees definitely seemed to be keeping it clean. As customers came and went, they cleared the dirty tables pretty quickly. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5, but 5 stars for the accommodation. :)
