Definite Treasure…read more Daniela Solis Bakery is one of the best bakeries with a nice variety of cakes and pastries. Incredibly difficult to decide, we chose a sampler of Opera Cake, Raspberry Napoleon, Lemon Tart, Almond Pistachio Passionfruit Mousse, Rustic Chocolate Cake, Berliner, and Pistachio Baklava. Everything was amazing. My husband loved the Lemon Tart--incredibly flavorful. My ultimate favorite of our sampler--the Rustic Chocolate Cake: chocolatey, moist, and lovely mousse; this cake is the best chocolate cake I have ever had. A very close second was the Pistachio Baklava--everything baklava should be: flaky, buttery, syrupy- also a top contender for the best baklava. What struck me the most was the hospitality. Miss Daniela made note that baklava should not be eaten cold; she took the time to warm up the baklava, and let us know that the Berliners are best eaten day off. We had no choice but to listen to the expert. The only drawback is that the bakery is only open two days during the week, but it can also be a blessing in disguise, as I would be lined up every day! Definitely plan a visit to Daniela Solis Bakery--you will not be disappointed. No images of the baklava--they did not make it out of the parking lot.

It's tucked away in the back area of the Crossroads plaza so you might not see it unless you are looking for it. There's plenty of parking The inside is small, maybe a few people can fit in it at a time. The owner came out to help me so I asked her what's good here. She smiled and said everything. She showed me a variety of cakes and told me her background a little I decided to go for: Chicken empanada: I told her I will heated up when I get home so she wrote the instructions on the box for me :) it was filling and flavorful. She offered me some of the pickled veggies she made and it was Delicious and she said it goes well with the empanadas. After tasting the empanada at home, I wish I got more of the pickled veggies. Berliner: this was HEAVY. I was surprised as how much it weighed. At first I thought it was kinda pricey but after holding it I can see why. The donut was sturdy but soft and there was sooo much filling in it. Not too sweet either. The cream inside was also thick so it held together really nice throughout the day Eclair - elongated version of a cream puff, very good though. Love the flavor and texture. Napoleon -- the flavor is there but I wish it was flaky. The layers have gotten soft but it was still good Overall I definitely want to come back. Everything I had was above and beyond my expectations.

The way they serve their boba is really cute! It looks like a soda can, the top is sealed so you…read morecan throw it in the bag and not have to worry it would spill. The mochinuts were chewy and delicious. I requested 3 pieces of boba because my kid likes it but after a few pieces he gets mad that he's sucking up boba more than the drink.

I went on a Friday night and walked up to the counter without the ever-present long line. Thank goodness. I bought just one donut, purchasing via the server instead of the nearby tablet. A mochinut is $3.99 before taxes, not cheap, but ok. The payment system defaults to $1, $2, or $3 tip. When I pressed custom, the default shows $1, which is a 25% tip. Nearly all other payment systems I encounter, upon pressing custom, the amount is blank, and I enter what I want. Theirs skip to $1. No, I am not tipping $1 for you to put the donut in a holder and hand it to me. I bet numerous tweens, teens, and adults didn't notice and paid the $1 tip. My purchase, admittedly, is the smallest possible in their entire menu. Even so, in this excessive tipping culture, the business is wrong. My purchase is a strawberry haze mochinut. At 6:40pm, their mochinut still tasted fresh. 4 Stars rating for the mochinut Subtract 1 star for the tip settings in their payment system.

This is possibly my favorite ice cream and snack shop in the area. I love the spacious shop…read moreinterior with plenty of natural light, seats, and lots of sweet and savory options. I spotted a taqueria add-on in the works so this place should be even more fun in the future. Only downside is parking. The lot is small and shares space with other businesses so parking can get kind of terrible when the lot is busy. I have had the best luck when its early in the day or later at night as this place stays open pretty late. Some of my favorites have been the milkshakes, paletas, and mangonadas. If you want something for the gram, get the piña loca. It's a carved out whole pineapple stuffed with a fruit and vegetable salad (jicama, cucumber, mango, pineapple), crunchy bar nuts, and Mexican candies and sauces. So fun and so yummy!
