The owner should thank Nana's for a lot of 'accidental' new customers. As a mango dessert maven I was delighted to find at least 3 kinds of mango concoctions. I got the "Mango Delight" (1/2 mango and 1/2 white chocolate mousse) it was so yummy and refreshing! I wish they also had mango eclair then I would come here every week! Will try their gelato next time.

It's been a day and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm going back to get a bunch of them. They had the spiral chocolate croissant on their IG so I decided to try it. It was incredible. Inside it had a light chocolate custard or pudding. Not sure but it was delicious. I'm kind of a fatty so I wish it had Nutella instead. But it might be too rich. Service is always on point. Other times I've been and they are always kind and helpful. Lots of great spots to sit and eat.

The cake was so delicious and honestly one of the cutest cakes I've ever ordered. The owner was super accommodating, I was able to pick it up a little early with no issues, which I really appreciated. And can we talk about the packaging?? SO. DAMN. CUTE. ( I forgot to take a pic but it was nicely wrapped) The original cake design had a little bear, but she changed it to a red heart, which was so nice and fit the theme perfectly. I'll 100% be ordering more from them for all my future occasions!!!

It is amazing how much variety they offer at this small shop, including but not limited to cakes, breads, bubble tea, and other desserts. I like to stop by for a drink when I am nearby. The matcha drinks and house special milk teas are pretty good. I would recommend the Brulee Matcha Shake, which has a smooth and creamy texture and is somehow not overly sweet. Brown sugar boba is the perfect topping to go with this drink.

I grabbed one…read moreof the small ready-made cakes from the display case, thinking it would be a safe and easy option. The employee told me that if I planned to serve it the next day, I should take it out about four hours beforehand, which I did. I really wanted to impress my guests and felt like I was going all out by getting a cake from here. When we finally cut into it, it was extremely dry. It was honestly embarrassing to serve, especially since everyone was looking forward to trying it. For a cake that cost around $60 and was smaller than a typical 6-inch, the quality just didn't match at all. Overall, it was a big letdown and felt like a waste of money. I wouldn't trust buying one of their pre-made cakes again.

Nobody does it quite like Karena. I met her 4-5 years ago…read morewhen I desperately needed a cake for graduation and she not only made the cake in a two days notice, she completely blew my mind! If I didn't move to San Diego, she would still be my consistent cake lady. I absolutely love her! When I first ordered, she had followed-up asking if the cakes were up to par with the taste and if they lasted well. I had to say, not only was it pretty to look at - it didn't taste bad either! Usually it's a sacrifice for one or the other! I've ordered over 6+ cakes with her and will definitely continue whenever I'm in the area. The amount of buttercream flavoring choices and real fruit used inside the cake... you really can't go wrong if you order from Karena!

Have you ever looked up beautiful pieces of artwork and wondered how the artist did it? Even more…read moreso, if that artwork could be placed in your hand and be given as a gift? Karena is incredibly talented. I can't even begin to talk about my wonderful experience. I showed her a few pictures of inspiration and she told me what she could and couldn't do. Once we agreed on an inspiration picture and idea she put my specifications to work and low and behold, an absolute masterpiece! The detail on each part of the artwork was outstanding. The person I gifted it to was ecstatic. If you take a look at each picture printed and cut out perfectly, the teacup molded to the perfect size, each colored detail intricately placed, absolutely every single thing done with prose and care. Talk about a passion for what she does. You absolutely won't be disappointed. Talk about a date, talk about a time, and she will work it out with you. She communicates incredibly quickly and will be sure to make you happy!

Writing another review because I love this place so much!…read more This year, for my mom's birthday, we decided to try something from their low-sugar series (love how this is an option!). We got the Berry Summer cake for 5-6 people for $138 and it was worth every bite. The cream is so light, the jam was delicious, and the cake was beautiful. Loved the forks, cake knife, and candles that came with the cake. Pickup was super convenient and flexible and ordering was easy (ordered 2 days prior). Highly recommend! Street parking is easy and there are some tables outside.

Warning though, forks are raw edged metal so they feel harsh to the touch. Service 5 star: Nice and easy pickup. Very easy to order online with very fast availability compared to some cake ordering places that require more time. Convenient. Taste of black sesame cake 0 stars: I didn't get a clear description from my family who ate about every flavor profile but I asked if the cake was comparable to a 99 ranch cake my aunt got one year that tasted horrible. My sister didn't even want to answer which cake was worse. So I feel justified to score the cake as 0 in flavor If I didn't want to eat that 99 ranch cake and my sister said this cake was just as bad... Look of the cake: from pervious seasons, the black sesame cake looked really cute! With the spring season, the design changed. I understand the concept but... it's really not that pretty anymore. The green icing looks cheap and the flower on top looks like a weed. Compared to the fruits, nuts, and macaroon decoration from previous season, the design is worse. I bought a cake from Freesia knowing that reviews on Yelp for the taste of the cakes were a hit or miss but my brother-in-law likes black sesame and most of the reviews that mentioned the cake tasting good was of this flavor. I was treating this purchase as an experiment since I was also interested in the mango sago for my husband's upcoming birthday and he likes mango sago. Well, it was a miss. I appreciate the service, convenience, and packaging but an inedible cake is a pass.
