As Pastel wound down, my friend happened to order something from here. Knowing the number of…read moreopportunities was limited, I joined her in finding something, coincidentally the same item that she ordered. I paused for only a day after picking it up in trying the guava cheese scones (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6zUCytWzCDDCG3fREWgEMw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), I ate my first one as is (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=l0wRu-R-cRi7FeekzUBv0g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and was surprised by the flavors, a mix of savory and sweet in the aftertaste. Not sure whether the savory part came from the cheese but it was certainly tasty. A few days later, I ate one and it just wasn't quite the same as the flavors were muted. I suggest reheating them in the oven if you don't have it right away. Do refrigerate them if you do not eat it right away. I was tempted to try the Afternoon Tea box but my primary doctor wouldn't appreciate me getting this for my family and me. I will keep my eyes open on other menu items and alternative ways to try her foods.

So I didn't buy these pies from Sweet Condesa, but got them as a treat from my bro, so I can't…read morereview the ordering process nor can I comment on the price, but I can review the mini pies that we received. ~ Calamansi Pie ~ The flavor of calamansi is definitely there. Think lemon/key lime like custard a tart lovely flavor, but it was just overtly sweet. I'm not a huge fan of super sweet things as it gives me immediate headaches. The crust was not really a crust. It fell apart as we put a fork in it. ~ Barako Coffee Pie ~ Like the calamansi pie, it was just so sweet. I would say I prefered the "crust" on this. It was very much more like a cookie/brownie like chew. Then there's a layer of a coffee custard. So think a custard filled cookie/brownie. I don't know if you could really call this a pie, but hey, it's in a pie tin...so I guess you could call it a pie. O V E R A L L I won't shun cakes or pies away. I just couldn't eat more than a bit without having a sugar headache. But if you do have a sweet tooth, then by all means, try them out! I'm not going to be finding my way to get more pies from here, just can't handle the sweetness...

Bummed that they are no longer operating in the Bay Area, but glad I was able to try Basuku earlier…read morethis year before they moved away. And yes, the cheesecake is great - probably the best rendition of basque cheesecake I've had. I love that it's not too cream-cheese-y in flavor, and the texture is smooth and creamy. Of the flavors we tried, the cookies and cream was my favorite. The coffee had a very strong coffee flavor.

Basuku has the most decadent basque cheesecakes in the Bay Area. I've been a fan for years, and…read morethey recently posted that they'll be leaving the bay to pursue other locations (Japan/Taiwan). If you haven't tried them yet, go before it's too late! I've been lucky enough to try four of their flavors, and each one showcases their signature silky texture and deep flavor. All are not too sweet! My personal favorite is the Kyoto Matcha - the matcha is high-quality, with a vivid green color and rich flavor that balances beautifully with the creamy cheesecake base. The Original is a classic for a reason with deeply caramelized top and creamy interior. I also tried the Iribancha, a roasted green tea flavor. It's intense, smoky, and unique..maybe not one I could finish in one sitting, but definitely memorable and recommend for those who want that earthy/smoky taste. The truffle was also a standout, adding just enough umami to round out the sweetness. Preorders drop via Instagram (@basukucheesecakes) and sell out lightning-fast. Otherwise, plan to line up for slices! Wishing Basuku all the best on their next chapter. Fingers crossed for a return to the Bay someday! Until then, don't miss your chance to try what might be the best cheesecake you've ever had.

I couldn't tell if there was any difference than a normal chocolate cake. It was moist with a milder chocolate flavor.

Every detail was so thoughtfully done, and even better, everything on the cake was edible. People kept coming up to the table to look at it because it was just that adorable. Beyond how great it looked, it tasted amazing too. The red velvet was moist, rich, and not overly sweet, which made it really easy to keep going back for another bite. You can tell a lot of care went into both the design and the baking itself. If you're looking for a place in Oakland to order a custom cake for a special occasion, I would absolutely recommend them. It felt really special for a milestone birthday and honestly made the celebration even more memorable.

I tried the s'mores one not really knowing what to expect, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. The marshmallow had this light, fluffy texture that paired really nicely with the cookie crumble on top, it gave it just the right mix of soft and crunchy. One thing to keep in mind, these are best enjoyed fresh. Once you take them home and stick them in the fridge, the toppings can start to harden and the overall texture isn't quite the same. So if you can, dig in right away. The spot itself is easy to miss, it's tucked into a little nook along Bay Street, right across from Jars. Definitely worth seeking out if you're in the area.

LOCATION: Eighth/Carlton…read more PARKING: Street parking WHAT I ORDERED: Egg tarts! ($6 each) Year of the Snake is a small pop-up that is only open on Sunday. It's run by a mother and daughter duo. There's a newspaper article posted outside on the window to read about the pop-up and family's history. They serve quite literally the BEST egg tarts I've ever tasted in my life. The egg tarts are perfectly egg-y and creamy, with the most crispy and buttery crust. Besides the egg tarts, they also have other pastries and drinks as well. The only other thing I've tried on the menu was the Vietnamese coffee. I may be biased, but I did not like the coffee. I write this review reminiscing on how delicious the egg tarts are. I would get them every weekend if I could.

As I peeked inside, the eclectic fusion of East meets West pastry concoction was beyond anyone's imagination. Kimchi raclette knish? Chinese sausage and garlic biscuit? Oh my! Had I driven there I would have ordered one of each to take home. But alas since my husband and I were biking through the area, my pockets could only each fit one. Thus I decided to share an egg tart w my hubby and brought the yaki miso rice ball and Chinese sausage biscuit home. Now that Portuguese egg tart was one of the best we've ever had, and that is no exaggeration. The delicate and flaky crunchy crust exterior paired so well with this gooey melt in your mouth custard center- a match made in heaven. My husband was like, no wonder this was a small batch item since they couldn't possibly make this on a large scale. Hmmm. Would definitely love to repeat that egg tart. I'm saving our other two pastries for tomorrow! The ladies behind the counter couldn't be more friendlier or more helpful! Please support our local bakers!
