Everything is styled so professionally with stunning gold accents and luxurious packaging -- it truly feels like a full experience, not just dessert shopping. I tried the kunafa and the Dubai chocolate cake, and both were incredible. The kunafa was perfectly golden and crispy on the outside with a creamy, sweet center -- not overly sweet, just right. The Dubai chocolate cake was rich and indulgent, layered beautifully with chocolate and pistachio and topped generously with crushed pistachios. Every bite tasted high quality and made with care. I also ended up buying so much decor because the setup was just that gorgeous. It's the perfect place to grab delicious desserts and beautiful pieces for your home or events. Highly recommend -- you won't leave empty-handed.

I'd love to see it become permanent because it's a great business. Owned and operated by an Egyptian-American couple, this small bakery offers traditional desserts made with top-quality ingredients and love, served with friendly, informative service. The tagline, "Crafting sweet moments with a sprinkle of culture," describes it perfectly. I bought the large Egyptian baklava. Super tasty. Flaky, Sweet and savory. They had both walnut and pistachio versions, and I opted for pistachio. Egyptian baklava does not use honey; instead, it uses sharbat (sweet syrup), which the baker makes with sugar, water, and lemon juice. Different but amazingly delicious. Support this small business pop-up so it can become permanent, please. Your taste buds will thank you.

In long For more than one birthday over the last few years, we've ordered a cake, or sweet bars, or this or that. Usually less expensive than the bakeries we like, and a nice selection. Their chocolate/peanut-butter bars in particular were a hit. We ordered more of them that we had people at the party, and I swear I went inside for 5 minutes, came back out, and they were gone. We haven't thrown many big bashes the last few months, and I'm kinda craving one so I have an excuse to order from them again.

I'm not sure if it's because something changed on the side of the bakery (maybe recipe or personnel changes?) or on my side, having tried more bakeries around the area. On our last visit we bought two loaves of bread to accompany a butter tasting. Both loaves I found to be not nearly as high quality as I remember previously. Pane Bello ($9) - The crust basically doesn't exist in this bread. It's soft and leathery and doesn't give that satisfying crispness of a well baked bread. The interior, while having good crumb structure, is particularly dry and almost crumbly. The taste is mild, perfect for pairing with higher end butters. (3/5) Parmesan Black Pepper Sourdough ($9) - This batard has similar texture as compared to the Pane Bello. It has the addition of plenty of black pepper baked inside, spaced out rather evenly, allowing a peppery bite every time. There's salty and fatty parmesan baked on top, giving a caramelized salty umami. It definitely has more flavor than the Pane Bello, but suffers from the same textural issues. (3/5) We purchased both loaves at 10AM on a Sunday morning and they were consumed within 2.5 hours, so I don't think it's an issue with storage. I ate a bit of their regular foccacia at a work event too. It has a good crispy exterior and is salted well on the top. Unfortunately the interior isn't the best, having a really dense, chewy crumb. I'm honestly not sure what happened. I really loved The Cottage when I first moved here 1.5 years ago. Now? I have a number of bakeries I'd choose over here in a heartbeat.

I believe mom and pop owned since forever, so very kind and local! Friendly service. When I worked nearby during high school, a co-worker snagged a box of these and I was impressed, though I had simple taste buds. More recently, I picked up a box and enjoyed how fluffy the donuts were, everything was fresh, airy, and light while balancing a slight crispy exterior. The one drawback I think is that most of their donuts are too sweet. While everything else is addicting, the sweetness can quickly catch up and make you feel sick of sugar. Then again, the fluffy, airy texture is so addicting, so it's an internal battle.

Crespella was busy and as I was ordering on the iPad since they were busy, I overheard a rude customer chewing out the employee because they ran out of spoons. Girl. It happens. Also Starbucks if you turn around is behind ya with utensils out for free near the napkins which I made no complaint and snagged a spoon for myself. Reading the other reviews seems customers have trouble with not getting a spoon for their açaí bowl so maybe this location needs to work on ordering enough utensils for their business. The Dubai chocolate strawberry cup was expensive but good. After tip this is basically $20 a cup... They gave me fresh large strawberries and plenty of chocolate in the cup, no skimping. I did feel they did not do an equal balance of the pistachio and chocolate sauce though which I think would've been better if there was more pistachio sauce. The chocolate sauce as well I could tell was not as high quality of chocolate as other Dubai chocolate strawberry cups I've tried. I wish they used a higher quality of chocolate sauce for the cups. Service was friendly and attentive. I like the location in the mall.

Not only that, but there are a variety of textures to them that create for an exciting experience!
