"Ham" and cheese croissant with one tiny piece of ham. "Ham & Cheese Croissant"
Larkin O.

This place is just a shell of what it used to be. Whoever was in charge of their remodel should be committed. It used to be such a warm, welcoming place, and now it's worse than a hospital cafeteria. Everything is cold, stark and falling apart. The quality of the food has also gone way downhill (see ham and cheese croissant photo). The coffee is served at scalding, with only an always almost empty of milk and a few scattered packets of Splenda to temper it. The staff is trying their best but they are clearly overworked and underpaid. I appreciate that the sample dish is usually filled. People will keep coming here because there aren't a ton of offerings at Hillsdale, but it is no longer the pleasant place it used to be.

Went here with my parents for an afternoon snack. The store is clean and has indoor and outdoor seating. I mainly came here because I wanted to try one of the seasonal items. The lady who helped us was nice but didn't provide us with any recommendations on items. We chose to sit outside even if it was a little windy. 1. Matcha melon pan: Deliciously tasty. It was light, and I loved the little crust on the outer shell. No shortage on matcha filling, which I loved, and it had the lightly sweet melon flavor. 2. Mango coconut pastry: I usually alternate between this and the strawberry tart. 3. Walnut cream cheese bread: My mom's favorite snack, a classic staple here. 4. Chicken empanadas: My mom's favorite here as well. Nice chicken filling that leaves her stuffed. 5. Cinnamon sugar danish bar: I got this for my dad thinking it was similar to a donut stick, but it ended up being dry and uneventful.

Box of treasures delivered

Nothing better than a visit from a friend bearing delectable treats. What a nice surprise!! I couldn't help taking a peak before everyone else. Then I not so subtlely suggested we cut each treasure into small portions for a tasting, of everything. It was afternoon and perfect time for a treat! Cousin's friend brought: strawberry and peach danishes and almond twist. My favorite was the sweet tartness of the peach. The fruit in all the danishes was delicious. (4/5). For me, the tastiest part of the special delivery was the curried puff. Deep fried, golden brown goodness filled with a savory, deep flavored curry. This alone will keep me coming back for more..! Thank you friend for remembering my cousin and I. Thank you Andersen for feeding us so well this afternoon..!

More Protein, anyone?! The service was so-so. Not very friendly. The location needs some update in maintenance. Many pastries by the counter are not covered since it is near the exit/entrance. the food is okay.

Pork torta $10.95 and this was just half of it! 4/7/22

This is a solid 3-4 star spot, I am choosing to go with 4 since they have always provided me friendly service and the pastries are delicious, plus it's a nice alternative to the mall food court. Tucked away in one of the halls of the Hillsdale Mall, this bakery always has intoxicating smells of fresh baked bread that will pull you in. I've lived nearby for a while, so I've dropped in more than just once. Whether to grab a pastry while window shopping, or to warm up with a hot soup or tea and catch up with friends, I have never had a really bad experience here. During the pandemic and workin from home, I found they are a nice lunch alternative with plenty of great sandwich options. The pork torta was an unexpected find, but it delivered. I was fearing a wimpy torta, but it was hearty and delicious, something you might find at your favorite taqueria. I could have saved half for 2nd lunch, but that's no fun. At around $9-$10 each, it's a solid value. Back in summer 2022 at least, seating was plentiful and they have some tables outside, but sectioned off from the passerby. Perfect for sunny weather or just to get away. Check them out next time you need a pick me up, to get through your shopping!

This is dangerously close to me I used to order from the one in San Mateo but now I could just stop by this one in my neighborhood whenever. Their desserts are not very sweet and normally quite elegant & delicate as well.

grill chicken garlic mushroom sandwich

Terrible terrible service, they have extremely rude and sassy workers. It's like they don't care about the job and no one cares enough to say anything about it. Also look at this sandwich he made me. Made by the rude staff. Extremely slow service I cannot even put into words. And put only a quarter piece of chicken??? So inconsistent with the sandwich.

Mold on raspberry

Sandwiches were super good! We ordered a turkey avocado sandwich and a chicken salad sandwich. Both were tasty and nicely flavored, not bland or too overbearing at all. Service was nice, kind workers who got our order done efficiently. Only downside was mold on the very berry danish... Makes you question the freshness of the fruit on many of their pastries. I'm a bit apprehensive to order one again.

The sandwiches here are just so good you can't not try one. I LOVE the spicy turkey pepperjack sandwich. Definitely recommend!

Pesto bread is good. Bad table tho. Must ask front desk for napkins, like a fing communist.

I had a raging craving for banh mi, but I didn't want to haul ass to the south bay (duc huong is…read morestill my favorite). M sandwiches pleasantly surprised me with its warm crusty bread, crisp tender bbq pork, and fresh cilantro and pickled veggies. The place is tiny - really no seating indoors and just a few chairs outside - but I'm adding this spot to my regular to-go rotation. I love that they give you potato chips with every sandwich, and unwrapping every sandwich that has the twine tied around it feels like you are unbundling a treasure. One tip - I thought the grilled lemongrass beef sandwich would be similar to the bbq pork one, but the beef was more like a meatloaf. Still good! Just not what I was expecting.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing…read more I ordered the grilled pork bánh mì from this place earlier. I was hungry and started eating the sandwich while walking, but after just a few bites I had to throw it away. The grilled pork was unbelievably salty--easily one of the saltiest bánh mì fillings I've ever had. It tasted like the meat had been heavily over-seasoned with salt, to the point where that was the only flavor I could taste. The sandwich was also loaded with mayonnaise, which made it feel very heavy and greasy. Combined with the salty pork, it ended up tasting like mostly fat and salt. The bread didn't seem particularly fresh or house-made either, which made the overall experience even more disappointing given the price. I hate leaving negative reviews, but for the cost and quality, this was not a sandwich I could finish, let alone enjoy.

I have been going to this place since I was a little kid. They always sold mexican candy for the…read morecheapest price. And then as I got older I began to order their buroski? Not sure if that is how you spell it. But its a closed bun and inside of it is beef and cheese. Almost like a cheeseburger instead the bun is like a jelly donut and instead of the jelly is broken down beef in cheese. So good!! This place is BIG with Polynesians & Pacific Islanders mainly for their fresh Kale sipi/moa & manioke or rice. Their curry lamb & curry chicken is made freshly & they have their own mango otai. Me & my family moved out of the neighborhood but still come here when we can because I kid you not, there is no other place in the bay area where they make curry lamb/chicken fresh out in the ISLAND STYLE. Theres a huge difference how Pacific Islanders make it & how Indians make it. The place itself is not large. They have about 5 tables that sit about 2 ppl and they have a table outside for those that wanna eat outside. You can def dine in but if youre a large group you might take up the whole venue. I usually order and go. Little history, this place has been in the Shoreview neighborhood for 32-35 years. It is owned by a fijian couple. The man was named Harry and his wife. Harry unfortunately passed away and his wife & one of his sons are holding it down. One of the local small businesses that are still going to this day.

Chicken curry and Lamb curry is good but I had take away 3 stars for the bug I found in my food…read more If I didn't put my food on a paper plate I probably wouldn't have noticed it. 09/27/23 We came and ordered a total of 5 plates, 4 plates of lamb curry with manioke and my plate was chicken curry over rice. The lamb curry plates were bug free, it was just my chicken curry. I definitely won't be coming back.
