My boyfriend and I were walking around the plaza and came across Cake Boutique. I went in and spoke with Menakshi, and I found that many of the desserts were made-to-order. I could;ve gone for some donuts but didn't have the luxury of waiting for them since she needed some lead time to make them. I didn't place an order then, but Menakshi left such a great impression on me that I came back a few days later. From our in-person conversation I learned that she a genuine, passionate baker who was dedicated to her craft. A few days later I called her business number, and she advised that I could place my order directly by texting that number. I sent her the products, quantities and expectation of when I should arrive. She confirmed my order and told me the total price. I was able to free up some time, so I was able to pick up the desserts sooner than later. I contacted Menakshi and asked if I could swing by earlier, and she said that the desserts were ready for me to pickup. Perfect! My entire interaction with Menakshi via text was super easy, and I appreciated her quick responses. The desserts were excellent. I tried my very best to spread out the desserts over a span of a couple of days, but I ate almost everything as my lunch after I picked them up. These were my purchases and my review on each one: - Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I'm not particularly a fan of crunchy cookies (I prefer soft and chewy cookies), but these were addicting. They almost didn't make it home, because once I popped the fun didn't stop. The cookies were dense and loaded with big chocolate chips. - Donuts The donuts were baked and made with more of a cake batter. The glaze on the chai donut was sweet and very cinnamon-y. The gulab jamun had a light cardamom flavor and a really nice rose glaze on top with some pistachios and edible petals. - Shooters I was the most excited about the shooters, because I've never tried Indian desserts before. I figured that I'd get a small sample of each, but the shooters were way bigger than I expected! Way to get my money's worth. I got shooters of Rasmalai, Mango Kalakand and Paan Gulkand, and I loved each one. If I had to choose my favorite, Rasmalai would be it. That custardy clotted cream was everything! The Mango Kalakand kind of reminded of a mango cheesecake. Lo and behold it's traditionally made with paneer. Lastly, paan gulkand tasted like nothing I've had before - very unique flavor palate. It had floral rose notes from the gulkand with an underlying coconut flavor. I liked how there were some crunchy bits inside this shooter that added a different texture. read more

Wow is all I can say. No, I didn't not buy a cake here nor do I ever plan to. Menakshi was rude in her reply to me via email and I was appalled. Yes, it's hard to read a tone via email but still, wow. First impression are everything. I was reaching out to a bunch of nearby bakeries to get quotes on a gender reveal ombré cake. I got a quote here while other bakeries broke down the pricing for me and told me things like "if you want just blue or pink inside, it would be $10, if you want it to be different shades of blue of pink cake it would be $40." Knowing that the ombré shade might be why the quote was higher, I asked how much would it be if I just did the single color. The owner's response was rude and really rubbed me the wrong way. She apologized quickly after but the damage had already been done. I've reached out to many bakeries and no one had replied back in such a curt questioning manner as the owner of this bakery did. I told her I don't ever plan on being a customer and I probably never will because my first impression was left sour. read more

Ordered my husband's birthday cake here and must say the design and flavor turned out great! He loved it. My husband is a graphic designer and also is obsessed with memes, so this was absolutely perfect (see pic). I sent a pic of the meme to Menakshi and she executed! In retrospect, I should have asked her to put a white square underneath the cat to complete the look of the meme but that's partially my fault and not totally a big deal. Some of the lettering/font was inconsistent, but I'm aware she does it by hand so I wasn't expecting exact comic sans font. However, this inconsistency detail actually added to the meme in my opinion. One of the cat's ears fell off before it was time to present, so just wishing that was a little more secure. We resecured it with icing as you can see lol. Other than that, the cake was ultra moist and delicious. He opted for the guava cake with vanilla buttercream. Very reminiscent of a tres leches cake the way the guava cake was soaked. So good. Before committing to the full cake I bought 4 cupcakes to see which flavor we'd go with. All the cupcakes we tried were soft and yummy also! She also accommodated a date change; it was my fault that I gave her the wrong date by 2 days, but she was still able to accommodate me for pickup. Definitely wouldn't mind coming back for future custom cakes! read more

My granddaughters 1st birthday. But let me start from 2022. Twins, born a bit early, so the cake and cupcakes for the baby shower never happened. Menakshi from Cake Boutique held on to my deposit for 1 year with no issues! That alone was wonderful. Fast forward a year later to their 1st birthday and I connected my daughter in law with Cake Boutique and they hit it off. We used the deposit from last year and we ended up with: 2 smash cakes for their actual birthday 2 smash cakes for their party 2 tiered BEAUTIFUL cake for the party 40 cupcakes for the party *nothing left and everyone enjoyed it....PRICELESS! Thank you so much Menakshi EVERYTHING was perfect! See you again for the next party. read more

My hubby has been doordashing their shooters for awhile and the fusion spin on traditional Indian desserts of rasmalai and gulab jamun are perfect! I decided to order a chocolate cake for hubby's 40th birthday during this pandemic. I sent her a multi tier cake from the internet and she made a single tier version serving 6 people to perfection! No fondant, not too sweet but decadent and rich chocolate with chocolate mousse. All our friends were delivered the rasmalai shooters and they loved it as much as we did!

Rasmalai is like an Indian version of tres le che and mango kalakand is like a cake form of mango lassi. Just the right amount of sweetness. I also ordered the apple cheesecake I can't wait to dig in. Would love to try other items at this bakery when I get the chance, and of course order a birthday cake for family or friends. read more

It just so happened that I needed a vegan cake for my boyfriends birthday and when I asked about how long it would be before I could pick it up, the sweet lady told me that it would be done in an hour! They bake some cakes early in the morning and then decorate when ordered. They offered vanilla, mango, and chocolate vegan cakes but they also have some delicious Indian inspired flavors as well.

Although we didn't have a party for my daughter due to Covid, we still wanted to have a cute, small cake for her and Cake Boutique made it happen! The customer service was great too.

Lots of subza beans and noodles, made with ice cream. It was definitely a great treat! Was not a fan of cupcake, macaroons, or cheesecake. Cheesecake filling was not as creamy as I would like and was very crumbly and hard. Cupcake frosting completely fell off cupcake, looks like too much oil base frosting. Macaroons were ok, on the flat side. Disappointed in bakery items. But would definitely recommend stopping by for ice cream and other items. read more

Get ready to wait, this place is popular for a reason.

Although my go-to is the honey matcha latte, you can honestly just throw a dart and be pleasantly surprised each time (I've done this about 5 times already). This time, I got the yuzu matcha tea. SUPER REFRESHING! Tart, citrusy and with the earthy matcha, the drink was a great pick me up. I recommend getting this if you can't have whole milk and wanna try something new! My partner got the soft serve and the flavor of the matcha cuts through very well- you won't be disappointed if you're a matcha lover. The line is long, but our orders always come out fairly quickly (around 10 minutes) after we order. I think it's long because others are debating what to pick at the kiosk. But alas, good luck finding parking! My partner and I always have to park on the street side of the plaza and walk over because we can never get a spot.

The store looked kind of dead and did not have a lot of tables + seatings except the long bench. There's plenty of parking spaces since it's in a plaza. We got 2 of the creme brulee matcha swirl due to the hype of this drink. The cream was extremely thick and just for my preference, it was too much. The matcha was not as strong to balance the sweetness and decadency of the cream. We ended up letting it melt a bit so we can drink the matcha without having to eat chunks of the cream. If you like your matcha thick, then I recommend this drink! It was just not up my alley unfortunately.

One queue was for online orders (recommended by the bakehouse) and the other was manned by an attendant with a tablet and a printed menu. Parking wasn't a hassle this time as there were plenty of spots. Add the fact that we were now familiar with Vietnam Town. We got our usuals with choux (Kaya and Ube), Pandan-Coconut Milk Bread and Banh Bo (honeycomb cake). The mention worthy Guava filled Mochi Cake was so good! A yummy tip that elevates this baked good was when I toasted it (4 minutes) in an airfryer. The crunchy surface with the chewy mochi texture plus the sweet guava stuffing was the perfect ratio I was looking for in a dessert pastry. Can't wait to go back and have more of the guava filled goodness!

We ordered the bánh bò (honeycomb cake), guava filled mochi cake, and espresso cookie. I absolutely loved the bánh bò. It was soft, bouncy, and flavorful, as it should be. I would definitely get this again. The guava filled mochi cake was okay. I sort of wish the guava filling was spread around the more. I would not recommend the espresso cookie. It was an odd combination of flavors. It wasn't burnt but tasted like it/bitter and heavy on the butter. I would come back for the bánh bò for sure though!

The mochi balls, weren't very soggy and they had the perfect chewiness to them. The mango sorbet was nice and creamy even thought was perfect. It was absolutely delicious. Perfect summer dessert. People working there were very friendly and patient when I asked them numerous questions about the menu. They made good recommendations after they figured out what I would like. It's a cute little store with enough seating for 20 -30 people. It's has a fresh nice and sunny feel and I love the ambience with the mango decor. Can't wait to go back to it try more if the desserts.

The store doesn't have the most comfortable ambiance: fluorescent light, hard furniture, and it gets pretty loud. However, the dessert is so worth it. I highly recommend the mango chewy ball dessert. Every single bite is perfection. The mango puree is refreshing and balances out the creamy ice cream. I am obsessed with the texture of the chewy balls, and the mango pieces on the top are so sweet. When I'm not eating this dessert, I'm thinking about this dessert and wishing I was eating it. It's not the cheapest dessert, but the portion is generous. I can't wait for my next visit!

Bingsoo is popular nowadays, but I don't see many around Campbell, so this was a nice surprise to find on Yelp. The parking is ample and shared in a plaza with apartments and other businesses. Even though it was cold outside, the store was full. Almost every table inside was taken. The space itself was decently clean, although a bit cramped because of how crowded it was. Our group ended up sitting outside since a lot of the larger tables indoors were occupied by only one or two people. You can grab your own chairs by the bathroom if you have a big group. I liked that menu was extensive. Besides shaved ice, they also had boba, tea, ice cream, and taiyaki. We waited maybe around 10 minutes for our order. We checked out a couple of games available near the front for customers to borrow. We shared one large mango cheesecake shaved ice and one medium Biscoff shaved ice. Mango cheesecake - This was AMAZING. My first bite tasted like heaven. The flavors worked together so well and the cheesecake wasn't overly sweet. The mangoes were ripe and sweet. Biscoff shaved ice - I enjoy Biscoff in general, but this didn't compare to the mango cheesecake at all. It was too sweet and more icey/watery. Chamomile tea drink -This paired nicely with the cold desserts. It was warm and refreshing at the same time. I almost never order nor see chamomile tea on menus so this was cool. One note: there was a water station available, but the cups were SO small. Maybe 2-3 gulps of water per cup. I wish they were bigger. Overall, I enjoyed coming here for dessert after our big dinne I think this is a nice addition to the Campbell.

Each drink is hand-whisked, so well worth the wait. Their cold foams were delicious and super flavorful as well. I was so excited to try the mango sticky rice matcha, as I hadn't seen this flavor anywhere else. The drink has a creamy salted coconut milk cold foam on top and some mango puree and glutinous rice on the bottom. Once everything was mixed, the mango flavor does get lost unfortunately. But still, the drink was amazing and rich. The guava li-hing matcha was sooo vibrant! I loved how the tropical flavor of the guava cold foam sprinkled with li-hing balanced out the earthy matcha. I've tried other guava matchas with guava puree on the bottom rather than cold foam on top, but I definitely prefer the latter to preserve the matcha flavor. The employees were kind and we came on a weekday afternoon with a short wait. Order at a kiosk. Limited seating inside.
