It was my first time at this location recently, and I felt like it was tidy and well-maintained. I…read moreappreciated that the young gentleman working the front offered me suggestions as well as a sample of one of their popular items without me asking. It's easy to get lackluster service these days so I want to shout out the team behind the counter as a whole. They were doing what they had to do, learning, and efficient. The price of the drinks are a little high, but once you taste the freshness of the ingredients and drinks, it's understandable. They also had a special the day I came in. Looking forward to bringing my sister when she is in town. Keep up the good work!

Been curious about this place for a while, but have always been put off by the pricing. Starting at…read more$8+ for a tiny jar of pudding and similarly $8+ starting for a drink just seems so greedy to me. But we were out with friends and wanted a dessert post-hike, so why the hell not? Service is fast. Not a lot of seating inside, but there are a couple additional small tables for 2-4 people outside on the patio. Chose the cheapest item on the menu, which was the taro ube sago for $7.95 before tax. Honestly, it's pretty hard to mess up taro ube sago, so at best, I'd say it only meets the standard. It was more of a dessert soup than a pudding, which is what I expected. Serving size definitely way too small for the portion amount, even if you say the glass jar itself costs ~$2 (and that feels like a generous estimate). I've made an entire pot of taro sago that served 15 people that cost about $8 in raw ingredients. Personally don't see the value in coming back, but if you're looking for Chinese desserts in a pinch, then this place does the job.

We went in…read morebut I was nt super hopeful, because most gelato and ice-cream places don't have non-dairy options, usually the run of the mill frozen like sherbet crap, which is mushy ice non palatable inedible ... but I spied lemon, Pina colada and mango non dairy offerings. ?They were out of the lemon, but I got sample of their Pina colada and oh man oh man, was it every lusciously creamy and velvety decadent, tasted like ice-cream, not at all like a sherbet. I was sold on the spot and got their piccolo in a cup. My husband loves caramel/chocolatey profiles and got their snickers, which he also loved. Tiny cute little shop, with a couple of benches outside and a table or two inside. I would go back here in a heartbeat, especially hoping for their lemon and/or their chocolate cola non-dairy next time. Prices are terrifically reasonable and parking, on a Sunday when we went, on an evening/late afternoon free and easy.

Stopped by Humphry Slocombe in Redwood City for ice cream and tried the mango and tamarind flavor…read more It was really good--bright, tropical mango balanced with that tangy tamarind kick. Creamy texture and unique enough that it didn't taste like every other mango ice cream out there. Solid choice if you're looking for something a little different. Will definitely be back to try more flavors!

The inside has such a pretty aesthetic, with a few inside tables to How to order is with an iPad kiosk, so card payment only. The menu selection is nice and simple, offering matcha and hojicha options. There are also small desserts like cheesecakes, cake rolls whole or slice and tiramisu. This tea shop is nice to go to after work to relax and decompress for a bit. Items my coworker and I ordered- * Hojicha Strawberry Latte - light sweet, soy milk and less ice. Rating 5/5 * Hojicha Cake Roll slice. Rating 5/5 * Matcha Latte - light sweet, oat milk, less ice. Rating 5/5

Temp & Time is a hidden gem in Palo Alto! It's not the easiest to get to - the cafe shares a small…read moreplaza with Drunken Monk and parking is extremely difficult so be warned. This cafe specializes in Asian inspired drinks, roll cakes, basque cheesecakes, as well as Japanese puddings. The interior is super Japandi / minimalistic aesthetic. Their desserts have also been officially marked as "not too sweet" by my inlaws so you know it's got that Asian parent stamp of approval! I haven't tried the basque cheesecakes and the puddings, but have been a repeat customer for their roll cakes. So far I've tried their matcha, coffee, and black sesame roll cakes and all are fantastic. Super strong flavors and the chiffon cake isn't too dry. I will say for a single slice the price is quite steep, but it /is/ located in Palo Alto so rent is not cheap I would assume. Also if you wanted an entire roll, you have to order 2 business days in advance.

Going in, I wanted gelato, I was able to try different flavors. The staff were friendly and it was…read morenice because they have multiple items on their menu. They also have candy, beverages, chips, salads, sandwiches, and so forth. I decided to get the vanilla bean gelato and my boyfriend got the affogato. It was creamy, smooth and worth getting and the affogato was also flavorful! They do have a seating area, but it is a small space.

Love that they allow you to sample before buying and the staff who helped us was really cheerful!…read moreAll of the flavors were so yummy and each person in my party got different ones at the end. This place also has a whole wall of candies! So perfect for those with a massive sweet tooth. It can get packed, but the wait and line go by fast.

A great spot to meet up on the peninsula. The restaurant is gorgeous, particularly the newly…read morerenovated bar and the outdoor seating area. It's usually very lively, but the space is intimate and quiet enough (volume-wise) to enjoy a really special meal. The new menu is divided into sections: "From the Garden," "From the Sea," and "From the Butcher" -- with small plates, pastas, large plates, and pizzas available in each category. Makes it especially fun to order as a group, so you can sample a bunch of different items on the menu. (Also: I'm a vegetarian, and having a full third of the menu accessible is awesome and not super common.) Service is superb; the staff is kind, attentive, and very knowledgable. You can usually spot Donato himself in, or near, the kitchen when he's not personally greeting the tables. Great people, and great food!

Not the quality of service I'd expect from an upscale Italian restaurant.

Loved their vegan donuts!! Finally a donut that doesn't taste vegan!!!…read more We tried the matcha cake donut and the regular glazed and both were so good. The matcha cake donut was super soft and fluffy on the inside with a slightly crunchy exterior that made the texture sooo good. The matcha flavor was also just right! The regular glazed was probably my favorite. so airy and pillowy, almost brioche-like, and not too sweet at all. Just the perfect simple glazed donut. Such a good little treat and you honestly wouldn't know they were vegan! Definitely coming back to try more flavors :)

Redwood City is home to the infamous Chuck's Donuts…read more If you're in the Bay Area, and you're craving a superior donut, Chuck's is a must try. The donuts are exceptional. I've been on a donut kick as of late, and discovering Chuck's fueled the need for that delicious donut. We purchased three donuts, because sharing is caring. The Ube is exceptional. It's mild, sweet, creamy, with that hint of coconut. It's seriously the best Ube that I've tried. The twist was light and airy, with that melt in your mouth freshly made taste. The blueberry fritter isn't what I expected, it was more!! I absolutely love a good apple fritter, and it's challenging to find one that doesn't taste like lardy ick. THIS was on another level. The blueberry flavor was sweet and combined with the sweet dough and glaze, each bite was delicious. The fritter was one of the best that I've tried. All of the donuts in the case, looked phenomenal, and based on experience, I'm betting that they all are. I love that Chuck's is open 24/7 Will I be back? Absolutely! Should you go? Absolutely! Everyone needs a delicious donut!

They have wifi for those who need to work remotely and the food was amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Some of my favorites were the beet salad, the ham and cheese croissant sandwich, the Mediterranean sandwich, the apple mini tarts, and the tomato soup. If you're looking for a deal, they have a lunch special from 11 AM to 4 PM That includes a sandwich, a salad, a small pastry and a drink/coffee for $15. The employees are extremely accommodating and provide amazing service. I am allergic to eggs and lactose intolerant. They can modify almost everything based on dietary restrictions. I also tend to struggle with gluten (Im not celiac) but had no issues with their croissants. They use really fresh ingredients and everything's clearly made day of. I'm a big foodie and I also enjoy cooking a lot and I am generally not easy to please when it comes to food. You truly cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. A must try!!!!

Bought a big birthday cake last minute. Got it for a party of 17, it was a beautiful lavender cake…read more However the cake was so dry it was really kind of disappointing to the party a bit. I mean no ill will but I could not finish the cake slice I got with along other people. The lavender butter cream frosting was good but the cake portion was so dry it was really difficult to eat.
