First of all, I must admit I don't even have a sweet tooth and don't actually eat baked goods on a…read moreregular basis. So for a bakery to get a 5 star from me, they must be doing something right! I got to taste Joyce's cake and meet her in person at a recent Yelp Unofficial Event (UYE) I organized for the Chinese New Year. Joyce attended the UYE and graciously brought a triple chocolate cake she made in her own kitchen! The cake was an instant hit at our event. I personally appreciated the cake for being not overly sweet. If you know me or read my reviews, you will know I hate things that are too sweet!! But that chocolate cake was just right! If you think I gave her bake shop a 5 star b/c she gifted our event a cake, then you are so wrong! I have personally done business with Joyce to warrant my truthful statement. So when I heard about her macaroon offerings, I placed an order immediately. I've tried other business in town for macarons but wasn't satisfied. I had to try Joyce's version b/c she specializes in French baking! The macarons were $2 each and they were great. I got so many flavors and my personal favorite is the almond one b/c it was light and delicious! But Joyce thought they weren't her best so she offered to change up ingredients and let me try more! Geez! I got to know Joyce on a more person level when she came to hand deliver my order. I learned that she is very passionate about baking and her dream is to open her own bakery! But for now she bakes everything in her own kitchen and strives to provide the best products with limited space and resources. What impresses me the most is Joyce's professionalism. She prides in her baked goods, genuinely cares about her customers' satisfaction and constantly seeks feedback to improve her baking skills and products. So if you order from Joyce, you will know for sure that you are dealing with a honest business and are eating cakes with the best ingredients she could possibly find (no butter and no preservatives!). I also had the pleasure to try another cake and some Lebanese cookies from her for my birthday (thanks so much to Luly!). The cake was so pretty and tasted great! I only wish I had more room to eat one more piece of cake after a big Bday dinner. The cookies were so light and refreshing. My favorite is the one with date. The pistachio one probably needed more work. But where else in a city like San Antonio could you find Lebanese cookies, seriously? Most recently, I had the pleasure to try Joyce's Macaron cakes in cup! What is that, you might ask. I didn't know either. It is a new item that Joyce came up with when she was trying to save the macarons from turning soggy. Genius! It is a hybrid of macaron and cake served in a cup! We all know hybrid food are so popular nowadays from Cronuts to Ramen Burgers. This macaron cake in a cup tasted so fresh and natural, not overly sweet at all! WOW! If you don't believe me, ask Chef Roland at Stella Public House! He got to try this new invention as well and raved about it!!! In a bi-cultural city where you are either tex or mex, other culture and food is a breath of fresh air! Joyce's cake bake shop is a great example of bringing diversity to this city! With Joyce's international cultural background and her vision, passion and unique approach on baking, she must succeed! And if a business like Joyce's bake cake shop prospers, then I will have more faith in San Antonio moving towards the direction of becoming a world class city!

She has the ability to create beautiful edible roses that look real. I had originally planned on using real flowers to decorate my wedding cake but Joyce convinced me otherwise. I am so glad I listened because the end result surpassed my expectations! My guests raved about how delicious this Italian cream cake turned out, definitely the very best I've ever had! You will not regret ordering a cake from Joyce. I will absolutely order more cakes from her in the future and recommend you do the same!

I absolutely loved the aesthetics -- there was plenty of parking, and when you walk inside, the décor feels classic, elegant, and welcoming. Our server, David, was extremely professional. His knowledge, attentiveness, and overall professionalism made this a really special birthday night for my boyfriend. We appreciated all the recommendations he made. We started with a Tempranillo red wine and a specialty cocktail. For appetizers, we chose the goat cheese salad and the French onion soup. Both were excellent -- the goat cheese salad was fresh and light, with an amazing crunch and flavor from the cheese. I would definitely order it again. The French onion soup was classic but honestly one of the best I've had, with the perfect balance of onion, salt, and cheese. For our mains, we ordered the beef Wellington and the lobster risotto, along with sides of blue cheese cauliflower and scalloped potatoes. The beef Wellington was surprisingly good -- I loved the crisp puff pastry combined with the mushrooms, beef, and sauce. The lobster risotto was chef's kiss -- absolutely delicious. I'm so glad they introduced the new menu because this dish was outstanding. The blue cheese cauliflower tasted good, though I wish the cream sauce had been a bit thicker so it would coat the cauliflower better. The scalloped potatoes, however, were phenomenal. We finished with a slice of strawberry cake that was incredibly moist and reminded me of strawberry ice cream with that nostalgic crumb coating -- really delicious. Overall, we were both extremely happy with our meals and the experience. We'll definitely be back to try more items and highly recommend it!

I took my order enjoyed looking at it and comparing it to the size of my head lol. Then I went asking how can I heat it up. I wanted it for Father's Day my dad loves cinnamon rolls. Turned out the one given to me is heated and the frosting makes it not good to be reheated. They did not hesitate to grab another one and give it to me. I offered to pay for it.... Nope! You take it and enjoy! I didn't touch the other one and I tried to give it back. Nope! Both are yours! There was a customer an older man I gave it to him. They didn't even show any sign of annoyance from this whole event. I got nothing but smiles and welcomes! I heated it yesterday as suggested. The chef is very smart the way she rolls it. You would imagine a doughy taste in the middle from how huge it is. All I can say it is perfection! Each layer of it tasted better than the other! If you are a cinnamon lover you can even use it as a birthday cake this is how big it is for only $10
