My wife and I visited Sulbing and ordered the Mango Cheesecake Sulbing and the Mozzarella Injeolmi…read moreToast. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, and our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. Both items were delicious. The Mango Cheesecake Sulbing was refreshing and not overly sweet. The shaved ice had a smooth, milky texture that melted perfectly in every bite. The Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast was excellent as well, it reminded me of a grilled cheese sandwich, but even better, with a unique sweet-and-savory flavor combination. Seating is first come, first served, so finding a table can be a challenge when the cafe is busy. Plenty of space between seats. The biggest downside is the parking situation, which can also be difficult during peak hours. Still, the food makes it well worth the visit.

Rocko's Ice Cream Tacos is one of those places you go to for the experience just as much as the…read moredessert. The concept is super fun--ice cream scooped into a waffle "taco shell," then dipped and frozen so everything stays crisp and mess-free. The flavors are solid, especially if you go for a DIY taco. You can mix combos like chocolate dip with cookie crumbs, espresso or ube ice cream, and toppings like pistachios or Oreos. The ice cream itself leans more sweet and playful than gourmet, but the customization makes up for it. Service is usually quick even when it gets busy, though expect a crowd during peak hours. The vibe is lively, a bit loud, and very casual--more of a grab-a-treat-and-hang-out spot than a sit-down dessert lounge.

I come up to this bakery once a month, and I love the 48 hour preorder option. I highly recommend…read moreit for people who don't want to deal with the line that understandably goes out the door. The food is worth the wait. Don't sleep on the black pepper sausage danish: the croissant dough is crisp and flaky, and doesn't get soggy when baked around the sausage. It's comparable in execution to the Croissant Hot Dog served at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas (in Caesar's Palace), but at a way more accessible price point. Which isn't to say this place is cheap; like many artisanal bakeries in California, it comes with a premium price tag, but at least it's not Dominique Ansel pricy. Croissante's croissant dough baked goods (viennoiserie) is pun-intended "proof" that you get what you pay for. The dining space is limited and lively. Conversing is a little tough, but if you just need a place to sit while eating, it's just right. Extra special shout out this time to Dill who had informed me the fried chicken dishes today would be an hour and a half wait. After deciding there wasn't anything I wanted more than the Fried Chicken and Spiced Croffle (croissant dough baked in a waffle iron) and was happy to wait, they were nice enough to check in with the kitchen and see if it could be made sooner than that. I didn't expect to be accommodated, so I was happy they were able to do that. You get two chicken thighs and croffles per order. It's enough for two light eaters to share.

Croissante has become a south bay staple in pastries galore. The pastry ordering window is a little…read moreoverwhelming because they're so many delicious things, make sure you scope out the entire line of options before you end up ordering way too much. Depending on the time, it can get quite crowded. I came in around 9:30am and by the time I got to checkout, the baristas ran out of dine-in mugs. Which is why I opted for an iced americano. It had a nice creama layer and a well balanced flavor. Not too acidic or bitter. I got the french onion soup, labeled as a popular item/staple of the bakery. It is quite a lot of soup, I wish it came with a side of bread/sourdough as towards the end it was all soup and nothing to contrast it. It was nicely broiled at the top with some small pieces of bread and a healthy layer of cheese that made it so exciting to eat. Even the crust of the bread had some crunch although fully soaked. The bakery has wifi which is really handy since I think reception in that area wasn't the best. Wifi password is displayed at the register. I will come back to try the sandwiches!

I really liked: Ramly Burger…read more I liked: Curly Fries This was really bad: Rose Milk Tea The Ramly Burger was pretty #goodeats. The chicken was very crispy, and the ingredients made it super filling. Definitely the best thing we got here. The curly fries were decent too. Crispy, but kind of average overall. The Rose Milk Tea was sadly not it. It tasted really artificial and just didn't taste good. My friend got the taro milk tea and also didn't like his drink, so the milk tea here might just not be the move. The inside is small and cafe-like, which is fine for a quick bite. Unfortunately, there were moths floating around the interior, which made the whole experience feel a little less enjoyable. Service is very curt and quick.

The aroma of fresh baked cookies hits you as soon as you open the door, it's it's over. Give me all the cookies. Now normally, I would only order chocolate anything but decided to try ube. This cookie was everything, slightly crusty outside and soft interior. We then placed an order by contacting them via email and the process was super easy. We asked for them to be individually wrapped, which they did. Cookies were delivered on time & we're still warm. Everyone loved them. Can't wait to order again!

I have a huge sweet tooth. We were in Santa Clara recently and I wanted to try some popular…read morecookies in the area. We arrived at Choc Cookies on a Tuesday early evening. The bake shop is located in a small older plaza off El Camino Real in Santa Clara. There is limited parking in the small parking lot out front. The bake shop is small, clean, with simple black wall decor. When you walk in there is an oven area to your left and the cashier is in-front of a small counter straight ahead. All orders are to go as there are no tables or chairs inside. We ordered their popular $10.00 Tuesday special which includes 4 chocolate chip cookies. The cookies were huge and plump in the center. They were soft, chewy, and delicious. The center was gooey with plenty of big chucks of chocolate. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Choc Cookies. The staff were nice and helpful. The cozy environment was family friendly. Thier $10.00 Tuesday special is a great value. I definitely want to come back to try the other cookie flavors.

I had ordered my dad's birthday cake from here back in 2024 (salted yolk/pork sung/matcha mix…read morecake), and it was absolutely delicious! This time I decided to stop by here after dinner, my first time sitting down here and ordering. The inside is very clean, modern, and Pinterest-like. They added more decorations and seating from 2 years ago, making the inside more aesthetic. whaT's More always has unique Asian flavors, like durian, earl grey, pandan, red bean, and oolong. The cakes are not too sweet, so definitely Asian parent approved haha! Unfortunately, when we came around 6:30pm, they were sold out of most flavors - so would definitely recommend coming earlier or just ordering online earlier in the morning for pickup. We got the sesame dark chocolate crepe cake. When you eat in the store, the owner provides you with free cups of tea, which are really great for washing down the cake. The chocolate was super rich, and they did not skimp out on the flavor - super chocolatey. The sesame added such a fun earthy and nutty flavor - I thoroughly enjoyed it! The cake is on the slightly denser side, so was super filling. While on the pricier side, the flavors are super unique and the craft that goes into crepe cakes is commendable. I will be ordering my next cake from here again!

After randomly browsing Yelp and found this place, we happened to be nearby and I decided on an…read moreimpromptu visit on a Saturday afternoon. The place was situated in a quiet plaza just outside of Lawrence Expressway. There's ample parking but it doesn't feel like the location is suitable for a cafe where you can picture sitting inside looking through some big windows facing a busy pedestrian walkway. However, once I stepped inside, I was surprised at how zen and peaceful the decorations were and how fitting it was for a cozy and quiet cafe hangout. The cake shelf was surprisingly busy. And this is where I took one star out because the lines were confusing and the staff skipped me to talk to the group behind me while I was clearly the next to be helped. Luckily another staff member came out from the back kitchen and jumped in to help. The staff spoke fluent mandarin. I was interested in their box cakes. A few of the yelpers raved about their soy milk cake and luckily they had one out for sampling. It was covered with lots of cream and the cake layer was soft and moist, but it was still slightly too sweet for me and I felt that it lacked the tofu kind of soy flavor. Then, I spotted on their menu that they have a black sesame matcha box cake, and black sesame is always my favorite, so I asked for it. They had the last one left! The staff said she had never tried it so she couldn't tell me if it is less sweet than the soy milk cake. Since it was the last one available and I already sampled the soy cake, I decided to give it a try. I am happy that I did. The cake was filled with matcha mousse and tasted light and aromatic with the jasmine kind of matcha flavor. It is definitely less sweet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have as much black sesame as I'd like. But overall, the cake flavor is the kind that I like, subtle, moist, and not too sweet. $38 for a box cake of 4x4 is a bit pricey, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. The cakes were freshly made and tasted best the same day of purchase. They also recommend refrigerating the cake and consuming it within a day or two.

It's also great for sharing a few different flavors with friends. On this visit, I ordered the Strawberry Mango Snow with extra condensed milk. Both were refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The fruit tasted fresh, and the extra condensed milk added the perfect amount of richness to every bite. Ordering was quick and convenient through the self-service kiosk, and our desserts were ready within just a few minutes. The process was smooth and efficient, making it an easy place to stop by for a quick treat. Another thing I appreciated was the spacious seating area. There was plenty of room to sit and chat, making it a great spot to catch up with friends over dessert. The toppings on the snow dessert were generous and complemented the shaved ice perfectly. Overall, if you're looking for a lighter, more manageable portion of bingsoo that still delivers on flavor, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The desserts are delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

With so many other poke and donut places around, I'd probably try a few other spots before considering coming back

This place feels very revamped. A "red carpet" greets you upon your approach to the counter. And though there is staff who I suppose could take your order, there is one kiosk tablet to place your order. Lots of seating inside (9 tables). We came on a Sunday afternoon and though the wall display says "SO MANY FLAVORS TO CHOOSE FROM", the inventory behind the glass says "meh not so much". I guess most of the different flavors had sold out already by 3 pm, like some of my favorite seasonals (dragon fruit, ube). However, I was able to get the osmanthus oolong which I love. The taro coconut was light and refreshing so I enjoyed that as well! Today I decided to venture and buy the durian but I have not YET tried it. It wasn't too busy so after placing the order, they had our order in less than 5 minutes. My puppers got to accompany me into the store too. I wish melo melo would open up stores out in the central valley and Sacramento area too.
