    Temp & Time is one of the underrated matcha tea shops! When you drive on El Camino Real, it may be…read moreeasy to miss as there is a small entryway to the parking lot for Temp & Time. The inside has such a pretty aesthetic, with a few inside tables to How to order is with an iPad kiosk, so card payment only. The menu selection is nice and simple, offering matcha and hojicha options. There are also small desserts like cheesecakes, cake rolls whole or slice and tiramisu. This tea shop is nice to go to after work to relax and decompress for a bit. Items my coworker and I ordered- * Hojicha Strawberry Latte - light sweet, soy milk and less ice. Rating 5/5 * Hojicha Cake Roll slice. Rating 5/5 * Matcha Latte - light sweet, oat milk, less ice. Rating 5/5

This cafe specializes in Asian inspired drinks, roll cakes, basque cheesecakes, as well as Japanese puddings. The interior is super Japandi / minimalistic aesthetic. Their desserts have also been officially marked as "not too sweet" by my inlaws so you know it's got that Asian parent stamp of approval! I haven't tried the basque cheesecakes and the puddings, but have been a repeat customer for their roll cakes. So far I've tried their matcha, coffee, and black sesame roll cakes and all are fantastic. Super strong flavors and the chiffon cake isn't too dry. I will say for a single slice the price is quite steep, but it /is/ located in Palo Alto so rent is not cheap I would assume. Also if you wanted an entire roll, you have to order 2 business days in advance.

Everything was beautifully presented. The workers were friendly too! Their items were a bit pricey, but worth it for the quality. Their spiral croissants were so much better than Fancy Flavors. It was flaky, buttery, and filled with delicious pistachio cream. This spot is especially great for more traditional flavors. The Anton Hokkaido Milk Crepe Cake wasn't overly sweet and the cream was light and fluffy. It was perfectly up to my standards when it comes to sweetness. I'd definitely come back again even if I'm willing to hurt my wallet because the sweets are just too hard to resist.

My family and I stopped by Marvel Cake during Mother's Day for a sweet treat on Sunday. This location is in the strip of Downtown Palo Alto and has limited parking (similar to the rest of the stores there, there is a lot of parking, and you will need to get lucky). My mom does like the Marvel Cake in their first location, so we swung by here to try this one out! Location-wise, this is a smaller shop than the original one in West San Jose with limited seating inside. I would say it's not work from home friendly however, I did see a college student next to me on her laptop so maybe I am incorrect here! The interior is nice and light, matching the elegance of the desserts. We ordered three items on the menu: the pillow cake, the bisou, and the blueberry lavender roll. Here are some thoughts: * Pillowcase cake: It may seem like this would be a fluffy cake due to the nature of its shape, but it is a gelatinous Jell-O cake with fruit jam. It was not bad, and tasted refreshing and light. I didn't know if I liked it at first, but ultimately I did come back for seconds and thirds, so this is approved. * Blueberry lavender roll cake: This was not at all what we were expecting. I did not taste any lavender, nor did it have a strong blueberry flavor. I think what threw our party off was the layer of gelatin that surrounded the cake. Texturally, we were not a big fan. * Bisou: This one was our favorite one. I appreciated the nutty crust in the bottom layer of the cake, while the filling was soft and bouncy. It is very sweet, however, but overall, I really enjoyed this one and feel like it would go great with a cup of coffee. What made the experience here a 3 instead of a 4 or 5 was the service we got. We weren't greeted when we came in, which, to be fair, is totally fine, maybe they were busy. However, the person helping us stared at us the whole time and did not really communicate well with us. When I tried to order the cakes for my family, they looked bothered that we were there, and I was not sure if they understood what pastries I was ordering because they did not repeat it back to us at all or confirm anything. When I did place the order, they slowly grabbed the plates and looked visually confused, which again, if they wanted to, I could have repeated it back to them. After they gathered everything, they put it in front of us and rang me up. The whole time, they did not say a word to me at all. Did not reconfirm anything, did not acknowledge we were there, did not say thank you. It was a bit strange, and I had to check with my family if it was me or if that was a really weird experience (it wasn't me).

It was hard to not lose a strawberry while eating - you have to be so careful! A plate would help under the bowl. The strawberries were so valuable- sweet and fresh! The snow was fantastic- I'm not a shaved ice fan but snow is so different. Lots of table and the place was clean. We were the first to arrive and it did take a while to get our order. But it was worth it. I liked the cheesecake but it was too frozen to really taste. I'd skip that next time.

They look huge when they first come out, but since they're mostly shaved ice, they melt down and become much fluffier and easier to finish. We purposely chose one fresh/fruity flavor and one more decadent dessert flavor for some contrast, which I definitely recommend. // Mango Cheese Sulbing Yummy overall, and I especially liked the little cheesecake bites mixed throughout. They added a creamy, richer bite that went really well with the mango and shaved ice. I do wish the mango tasted a little fresher- the fruit chunks didn't seem quite as freshly cut/prepared as I was hoping. The scoop of ice cream on top was also surprisingly hard and difficult to eat. We basically had to wait for it to soften and melt before it could be mixed. Still enjoyable, though! // Chocolate Monster Sulbing A fun choice if you're craving something more dessert-y! Lots of yummy Oreo pieces and chocolate flavor. At first, I thought this one was slightly dry because of the cocoa powder dusting, but once the ice started melting and we mixed everything together, the texture improved quite a bit. Interestingly, the ice cream that came with the chocolate monster was much smoother and creamier than the scoop on the mango cheese. Not sure if they use different types of vanilla ice cream for the two but there was a noticeable difference in texture. Overall, Sulbing is still a solid dessert spot, especially for sharing with friends. Lots of indoor seating with some outdoor tables. Great spot for studying too if you don't mind some light chatting around. The shaved ice can occasionally feel a little dry depending on the toppings. Definitely mix everything thoroughly as the ice starts to melt- it makes the flavors and texture much more even. I'd come back and try more flavors!
