Jasmine matcha tea and pistachio cake - this cake blew me away honestly. The cream is light, milky, and creamy. The jasmine flavor has a strong floral essence. The pistachio adds a nice nutty flavor that is perfect for pistachio fans. The cake itself is moist and light. Its also not too sweet so it feels less guilty. I will definitely be ordering from here again. The puppy cake is just too cute! I wish they offered more size options.

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.

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).

We began by cutting a pupcake in half for the two lil pups. At first they sniffed their new treat. The littlest pup tasted the whipped cream topping and continued the nibbling. Eventually the pups had eaten some of the cake. Not very enthusiastic. I guess that should have given us humans a hint. Anyway, we cut a human cupcake in half and shared it. The cake was dry and had very little flavor. It was like eating cardboard with frosting. We tried another one. It had lemon flavored frosting on a cupcake that was dry and had no flavor. Like eating cardboard with lemon flavored frosting. Yucky. Next we cut the chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting in half. I'm not sure if it was because the previous two had been so bad, but the chocolate cake was good and the chocolate frosting was good. We should have stopped while we were ahead. But, we were hopeful the next cupcake would be good. So, we cut a fourth cupcake in half and it was as bad as the first two. If I had known how awful the dozen variety pack would be, I would have just ordered four chocolate cupcakes and called it a win. But, I did not know. So, another big corporation, SuzieCakes, has gotten my $$$dollars and in exchange I got one decent chocolate cupcake and three cardboard tasting cupcakes with frosting and four pupcakes that even the lil pups don't like and eight remaining cupcakes that I'm not enthused about trying. I'll not fall for the SuzieCakes con job again. Next time I'll spend my hard earned $$$ at a place that sells decent pastries. There are many many good pastry shops that are a better bang for your buck.

The space feels super cozy and service was friendly. They even mentioned their Burnt Almond Cake has always been their bestseller. First bite tasted heavenly. This had more stronger almond and Italian rum flavor and I was pleasantly surprised by the sugared almond slivers coating. The custard was absolutely generous, creamy, and divine. I'd say Peter's Bakery is more traditional, but more fluffier while Sugar Butter Flour has a more modern twist and is slightly sweeter. Their version definitely has more custard, which I personally enjoy... but this may be too sweet for the older Asian parents family. I'd love to come back to try their cookies and other pastries next time. Their Burnt Almond Cake is to die for and would love to buy another one when I'm in the area.

The matcha flavor leaned on the nuttier side, which I prefer. 4/5 would get again, but definitely a little pricey for the size and simple drink. I didn't ask for adjustments or if it's sweetened by default. Based on the taste, it seemed lightly sweetened from whatever oat milk they use. The cashier, who also prepared my drink, was welcoming and helpful. I asked if they could warm up the cookie, and they said they can't but that the cookies were freshly baked and already warm, which it was! I'd come back to try one of their signature drinks with cream tops or flavorings, which they seem to be more popular for.
