Well here you are, looking at Alpine Pastry and Cakes. Is this place good? Do I take a chance?…read more Will I be disappointed? Yes, it is very good Yes take a chance. You will not be disappointed. My wife and son are dessert snobs. Both have been to Paris and say France has the best pastries. But wait, they just came back from Alpine, and what did they say???? DELICIOUS!! They were smiling from ear to ear! They bought a carrot cake and an assortment of fresh and tasty pastries. And they even let me have a bite. It was so good! Sooooo, yes, try them. We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

A had a fantastic tuna salad sandwich, on thick multi-grain bread. It had red onions, lettuce,…read moretomato and toasted cashews. It had just the right amount of mayo. A lot of places cut cost by adding way too much mayo. I especially loved the crunch of the cashews. For the sandwiches it does say on the menu that they include sprouts so if you don't like them like me, make sure you tell them not to put any in. It also said whether I wanted half a whole sandwich. I thought who wants a half a sandwich? Well guess what, these sandwiches are huge, so you'll be fine with just a half sandwich. I also had the chocolate chip with and without nuts and oatmeal cookies. They were amazing as well, so fresh. The service was quick and friendly. More of a to go place. I'll definitely come back.

Cherry turnover 4/5 Chocolate croissant 3/5…read more I asked for the croissant heated and that was my fault because it made it warm but no longer flakey. Butterfly flavor was there but not the flakey-ness of the croissant. Cherry turnover very sweet but that's expected at the SWEET bakery , it was delicious. Seating indoor available and outdoor which is so nice and family friendly.

While we were in Concord, for a concert, we happened upon this wonderful bakery and ice cream shop…read more The Kreamery and Bake Shoppe is located in the Vineyard shopping center, a few doors down from where we were going to have dinner. We were warmly welcomed when we entered. The inside had an old fashioned vibe, with large black and white checkered floors and a few sofa fountains for making old fashioned ice cream sodas. They sell Mitchell's ice cream from San Francisco and offered a variety of flavors. They also had a lovely display of cookies, cinnamon rolls and muffin tops and a refrigerated case filled with delicious looking pies. The pies and goodies are made in house. The pies are what caught our eye. They came in a 3" bite size and a 5" size that would be perfect for sharing. The varieties of pies they offered were: Key Lime Pie, Banana Cream Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie, Pecan Pie, Dutch Apple and Mixed Berry. They also sell coffees, fountain drinks, sandwiches and salads. You can also get an ice cream sundae, floats, ice cream sodas and Italian sodas. Since we were having dinner next door, I asked if could buy the pieces and have them kept in their refrigerator until after we had our dinner. They had no problem with that. We decided to order the 5" Key Lime Pie, the 5" Banana Cream Pie and the 5" Mixed Berry Pie. We came back after dinner and they had our pies ready for us to eat. All three pies were amazing. They were so good. My favorite was the Key Lime Pie and my husband loved the Mixed Berry Pie. The Banana Cream Pie was delicious, as well, and had chunks of fresh banana in it. We haven't had good pie like this in a while. We were blown away at how good they were. I definitely will return for more pies, the next time I'm in the area. I also want to mention how friendly the staff was. They were very accommodating and fun to chat with. Excellent customer service, all around!

The Kreamery was such a fun find and absolutely worth the stop. We met one of the owners, Amparo,…read moreand she was beyond welcoming and genuinely made the experience feel special from the moment we walked in. I tried the latte sampler and it was amazing -- such a creative and delicious way to try multiple flavors. The shop has the best nostalgic old-school soda fountain vibe with handcrafted fountain drinks, massive sundaes, fresh baked goodies, shakes, floats, and classic ice cream treats. Everything felt thoughtfully done and full of charm. The atmosphere is warm, family-friendly, and just one of those places that instantly puts you in a good mood. Can't wait to come back and try more!

Cashiers are very attentive and friendly. All their goodies are fresh. Plenty of choices if you go early (before noon). Their almond croissants are a killer, well made fluffy and crispy , not overly sweet, with a hint of savoriness. Also love their pies, peach, apple, sweet potato etc, top with unsweetened fresh wipe cream. The pie crust are very crispy, the unsweetened is a good touch to balance out the filling. I wish, I have been here earlier. But it is never too late. And I can tell I will be back many times in the future.

The French Spot opened late '25 where a Verizon shop was. Infrastructure obviously repurposed…read more Small display case for pastries, pies. Breads on shelves nearby. Just a few tables inside for seating. Came near closing so most popular items already sold out. Picked a few items, paid & took pics. no 5th star since I missed their biggest sellers. Offerings: not just French pastries, some buns, mochis, breads, muffins, cakes, mousses, cheesecakes and and pies too. Bites: kouign-Amann (5) -crunchy dark exterior, overbaked? Haven't had in decades. Forgot taste profile. -numerous flaky layers. Buttery, sweet profile. Ube mochi (5.50) -pretty sweet, sugar added to already sweet ube? Mochi not soft chewy like regular mochi. White Chocolate with Matcha cookie (4.50) -white chocolate sweetness may have overpowered matcha's subtle flavor profile. 4.5 Stars Worthy! Service: Great! Quantity: reasonable. Quality: artisan ingredients. Reasonable pricing.

What Happened to the Choco Bun?…read more Plenty of free parking. When you walk in, grab a tray and window shop all the pastries. They individually wrap these so grab what you want and place it on your tray. Once you're finished, cruise up to the counter. Would I Come Back? Yes, I keep coming back. I use to come back for the Choco Bun, but if they've changed the recipe at all locations, I'll only be coming back for the Milk Bun and Nougat. Their Signature Item: Egg tarts are their signature item. If you've ever been to an Asian party, someone almost always brings a box of egg tarts from 85-Degrees. But on today's visit. Well, just look at the photo. Someone stepped away from the oven for about 6 minutes too long. Choco Bun ($2.55, Grade D): The Choco Bun has been my absolute go-to for years--the closest location to me is usually the South Sacramento store and I tell everyone they have to get it whenever they visit an 85°C. Unfortunately, it's been about 8 months since my last trip, and the Choco Bun is no longer something to write home about. Milk Bun ($2.05, Grade A+): If you've ever had their Milk Bun with the custard filling, the Choco Bun used to be very similar in texture. Now, it's flat with super dry edges. Not good at all. Luckily, I also bought a Milk Bun (my usual second favorite), and by default, it's now my number one because the Choco Bun was a complete bust. It's so fluffy and sweet. Melts in your mouth. Strawberry Banana Smoothie / no boba ($5.85, Grade F): It was incredibly artificial-tasting--nothing real about it. I only made it through a quarter of it before throwing the rest into the garbage. My fault for hoping for a "just picked" fresh fruit taste, but this was honestly one of the worst smoothies I've ever had. Nougat ($9.60, Grade A+): The bagged Nougat candy is fantastic. It's soft, gooey, and packed with what I'm guessing are pieces of pistachio. Delicious, but a fair warning if you have dental issues: these will wreak havoc on your teeth. It's not quite as sticky as a Starburst, but it could definitely pull out a denture! Bottom Line: The staff here is friendly, and there are still a few standout 5-star items that make a visit worth it (the Milk Bun and the Nougat). However, the disappointing recipe change to the Choco Bun and the absolute miss on the smoothie knock this down to a 3-star experience overall.
