The order was incorrect and the delivery was over 30 minutes late from the vendor. It was impossible to get a hold of the vendor on the day of because the number on their invoice is out of service. Marley's Treats did not even offer any service recovery or refund for the significantly incorrect order. Instead of getting 2 dozen ube cupcakes, we received 4 dozen ube cookies that were flavorless and dry. Would not recommend for catering.

The kare almond fudge has toffee or something coffee-flavored in it, I'm not a fan of coffee usually but I thought it was still yummy overall. I really liked the ube, that flavor came through really strongly. The main downside was that the bottom of the cone probably wasn't sealed properly, and since it was hot outside, the cone quickly started dripping ice cream out of the bottom, so it ended up being messier to eat.

I was terrified the entire time I lived nearby that this place would close, but it outlasted me in the neighborhood, and I stopped by recently, and it is still going strong. The gelato is good, but I always came here for the smoothies, which are excellent. It's in an out-of-the-way spot and across the street from a rowdy bar full of lecherous men, so keep your daughters close, and your pepper spray closer. I'm kidding! (Sort of.) It is adorable how many families bring their kids here. During the day, they put a couple of tables out on the Capp Street sidewalk, and since this is the end of Capp that is barricaded, cars won't be rushing by. The ultimate get is to come when the taco truck is parked at the barricade. When that happens, you can enjoy some fine Mexican food-truck food and wash it down with some heavenly gelato. My only criticism: They need to fix the case! It has been cracked since 2023, if not before then.

Can't beat that! Flavors included Dulce de leche or caramel??, chocolate, and custard. My friend enjoyed the s'mores bar. Love how the ice cream doesn't melt too quickly.

I'm really digging the creativity. Mango Jam Bar: These were awesome! Reminds me of traditional jam bars, but the sweet and sticky mango was way better than the well-known raspberry or peach. Funny how one little tweak makes it feel brand new. I like how it was jam heavy with enough butter dough on the bottom and crunchy crumbles on top to help you carry the jam to your mouth. Ube Jam Bar: I'm generally a fan of ube since I love it's pasty sweetness. And I did like it in bar form. But the amazing mango bar is such a high bar (so to speak)! This was one was a little less sweet and little less sticky. Probably better to pair with tea or coffee. Pandan Macaroon: Love the aroma of pandan. What great way to jazz up a coconut macaroon. Which makes a lot of sense since pandan and coconut are often paired together. Not as moist as the bars, but that's just the nature of macarons. Pandan Blondie: More like Greenie than a Blondie, due to the pandan coloring. Cakey with lots of chocolate chips like the original blondie, but with a subtle pandan aroma. Very comforting. Ube Rice Krispies Treat: I'm such a sucker for marshmallow and rice krispies desserts. It's like an elementary school throwback. Except these are bright purple due to Ube. Enjoyed the novel twist and colorful sprinkles topping. Halo Halo Cookie: Really enjoyed this one. So many different bits of chewy things into an ube cookie. Ube Crinkle Cookie: Like a chocolate crinkle cookie, but with ube. Really enjoyed how this wasn't as sweet as a tradition crinkle.

Before I get to my review of their product though let me say that the ladies who staffed this booth were amazing, funny, generous, gracious and helpful from event set up to the actual event itself to event teardown they were an absolute pleasure to work with (I was there as a volunteer). So if you read my ABACA review you'll understand my circumstance once I returned home exhausted from this event and my mind in a fog that I gave away the ube cake donut and the ube macaroon, but at least I got to try 5 of the 7 items I purchased. Of those 5 items 4 stood out for me. I wish I had taken individual photos of everything, but I did not. The Halo Halo Fudge (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/buko-bakes-san-francisco?select=lxwz6NvSO2btAKz9_j2vGA) was my absolute favorite with it's different flavors and textures as a result of it's components which consisted of sweet mung bean, mango bits, coconut, white chocolate chips, caramel bits, crunchy nuts, banana chip bits and probably more all nestled inside a chewy ube confection. The Halo Halo Cookie was equally as enjoyable in a chewy ube cookie form with seemingly fewer components. The Ube Jam Bar I liked more for the buttery dough and rolled oats which sandwiched the thin film of ube jam. At the time of my purchase I was asked if I wanted a chewy middle piece or a crispy corner piece. I chose the latter and it was a win-win for it was both crispy and chewy! The Ube Rice Crispie actually tasted like any other crisped rice and marshmallow treat but made more fun by it's purple color and the assortment of colorful sprinkles on top. I hope to come across Buko Bakes again for more Halo Halo treats and maybe try some of their non-purple treats.

The gentleman manning the truck was friendly and patient as we checked out the menu and decided on our flavors to try. We enjoyed the moistness and the addition of coconut in the Tres Leche cake, but we found the chocolate cake to be underwhelming and not as decadent as expected. It was drier probably because the version we ate that day didn't have any cream on top. If you're unfamiliar with the bakery, you'll likely have a bit of sticker shock from the minimum price of $11.50 per slice, but each cake is made of 20 layers of crepe, and everything, including quality forks and napkins, were nicely packed in a fancy bag. We ate our cake on the spot, though, at the long table and benches set up there and enjoyed the view.

The gals behind the counter are always so nice and friendly. The place is really clean, coffee always hot and ready. I really appreciate the fact they have other things "besides the great donuts". Good selection of breakfast bagel sandwiches and ever so reasonable. Had my 1st one yesterday, bacon, egg, swiss and it was so good and so filling. My fave donut is their Maple Bar (no filling), super fresh, great maple taste and not the slightest bit greasy or tasting of grease, which is yucky. Yesterday I also bought a mixed dozen to take to friends, which they all seemed to love, who wouldn't. The one that looked Great (Buttermilk Bar glazed and w/chocolate) was quite disappointing. It's huge, pretty doughy, little "buttermilk taste" and once the chocolate was gone, it was just a big doughy blob. Rather I should say, not what I'm used to when ordering a Buttermilk Bar any place else. Otherwise, this place is "danger, danger" as all the donuts are fresh, look so good and who can eat "just 1".
