4.5 stars Lychee earl gray cake: tea based cake, not too sweet and fragrant lychee flavor. moist and soft chiffon layer. Cutesy pink vibe for the cake shop with multiple tables to enjoy your desserts. They have sliced and whole cake available, employee provided recommendations and their best seller is the lychee earl gray, but they didn't have it in a slice. read more

We usually come to this area for some to-go dim sum and ran into this cute cake shop! We haven't seen it before, so we wanted to give it a visited to see what types of cakes were sold. This place is so cute with very unique flavors offered! The service is fast since most of their cakes on display are ready for immediate purchase. We tried the smaller strawberry cake, my bf loves strawberries but I was hoping for more cream and have the cake itself to be a little more moist, but I would definitely come back to try more Asian-inspired flavors! read more

I called on Friday to place an order for an 8" Earl Grey Cream Cake and then picked it up the next day. The order and pickup process was quick and easy. I had requested "Happy Birthday Brian" on the cake. It was written nicely on a plaque but I wish it had been written directly on the cake itself and a little bigger. The cake came in a clear plastic container. It was a bit flimsy and not very sturdy. Just something to note if you're traveling a longer distance with the cake. The 8" size was perfect for our group of about 10-12 people. The cake itself was delicious. It was light, airy, and not overly sweet! I could taste the earl grey; it wasn't too subtle or overpowering. The frosting was also very yummy and not super sweet. Everyone really enjoyed the cake. The shop offers a lot of enticing cake flavors, so I would definitely come back to try a different flavor next time! read more

This is such a cute little neighborhood cake shop. I would give this place 4.5 stars. I called the day of to hold 4 mini cakes (4in) for my son's bday. The person on the phone was so accommodating and patient explaining the various cakes they had available that day. I ordered the mango naked cake. 2 strawberry naked cakes, and the earl grey with lychee topping cake. These were all 4 inch size cakes. The cream used in the cakes were light and not too sweet. The cakes were light and spongey and the fruits were very sweet and fresh. I really enjoyed the mango naked cake the best. It came with this cute little vile filled with mango puree for you to inject into the cake. I also enjoyed the earl grey with lychees cake. This had a unique flavor which reminded me of milk tea drink. These cakes were $12 each which seemed reasonably priced to me as I've had other fancy desserts that were much smaller in size for the same price. All these cakes were delicious and decorated beautifully. I appreciated that upon request, the cashier provided a happy bday topper, a candle, pink cloud plates and tiny forks for free. They also sell some sliced cakes and other desserts which you can eat at the shop. What a nice touch! I hope this place stays in business and I can't wait to buy more cakes for our next celebration! read more

Come here for your next event or celebration! These cakes have that classic Asian sponge cake base with a fluffy and light whipped cream topping. A perfectly light and airy cake that isn't too sweet. The staff was very accommodating! We needed to order a whole cake but online you normally have to place a day or two ahead which is valid. However I was able to call the morning of and place an order for a whole cake. We really appreciated the staff going above and beyond. Our friend really enjoyed her birthday cake. Make sure you order online with a buffer if you want those cakes' Of course we came back to try their other flavors and fell in love with the mango cream cake. The mangos were silky and sweet while the cake was fluffy and bouncy. Yum! read more

My daughter passed, and every year I get a small cake and gifts to honor her. Since it was a Monday and most cake shops were closed, I drove 25 minutes to Daydream because their mini cakes looked pretty and small, which I needed bc I'd be celebrating alone. The staff recommended the mini Strawberry Naked Cake and the mini Earl Grey Lychee Cake. I couldn't decide so I got both. They were beautiful, and at $12 each (enough for 2-3 people), I thought they were a great deal. I loved that the cakes weren't overly sweet. The strawberry one was good, but I didn't enjoy the lychee cake - the fruit was fresh, but the cake itself left a strange, slightly slimy aftertaste for me. I had hoped to try their strawberry lava mousse cake with the crown, but didn't see it available. I also loved their little $3 heart candles - they added a sweet touch. Overall, the cakes are adorable for photo ops. I wouldn't get the lychee one again, but I'd happily recommend the strawberry cake. I just wish they offered samples so I could have tried it first. read more

This is my second time back at this cake shop. It's very far for me but I would always take the chance to come here. There's street parking with meters and cars come and go so there shouldn't be any problems parking on a weekday. I love their cakes because they're not just simple cakes. The flavors are pretty complex so I have to eat it VERY slowly. Both times I went, I stayed there to 3 hours (whoops). Part of it is because I was chatting but you really have to eat it slowly to savor the flavor. The drinks are really good too. The Shine For You is like a passion fruit Yakult smoothie. Also, the cloud on the drink GLOWS IN THE DARK. Only the first one I got did though. The second one I got this time doesn't ): read more

Love love this place. Everything is so delicious and delicate. I wasn't a fan of the drinks but I know for some they would be delicious. I'm not a fan of sour really. But the boba cake make me fall in love with them. It's everything I thought it would taste like. 10/10 recommend read more

Pretty! They pay attention to details. Every piece of cake is an average of $9 drinks $6.5 some sweets taste better than others, for example the chocolate pyramid was good, but the yuzu cheesecake taste a little bit like perfume. The chocolate molten cake was the regular Japanese chocolate cake with mousse on top. The place is pretty and small, they only have three tables with 2 chairs each, staff was super friendly and fast with the service. I would like to go back to try other things. read more

I have ordered from this place for a while and my favorite is their earl gray boba molten cake. It's unique, not too sweet and delicious. Also it's beautiful crafted So it's visually pleasing. The issue I've ran into today is when I ordered a fruit naked cake they sent me a lychee cake! If you don't have it please don't send the wrong item! It could be a mistake but since they are differentiated on the menu it's really disappointing! read more

i'm sadden to say that their sweets LOOK better than it TASTES :/ and that breaks my heart. i really do wanna spend money on food that tastes good and looks good. but if it just looks good for pictures and taste really artificial/ different than what was promised, it's just not worth it. i can really appreciate the effort they placed in designs and their seasonal offers, kudos to their service. they're so very responsive via instagram too! price for whole cakes is cheaper in general compared to other cake shops. i've eaten there once and gotten take out twice and imo, it's just a place that's really really cold and doesn't provide enough heating or warm when contrasting the cute interior. again. the anything fruit tasting is very very artificial and does not taste the the fruit it's trying to mimic. their yuzu lemon/berry/strawberry's bad, i'm so sad. BUT the earl grey boba cake is not too sweet and is redeemable. i know y'all say on your website that y'all use real fruit purée/compote when making mousse but it really doesn't taste like it. sorry. it's sad. no other places in sf can make such good looking cakes, but i'd rather pay for a ugly cake that tastes so frigging delicious, than getting a pretty cake that tastes bad. read more

I really enjoyed the earl grey boba molten. It wasn't overly earl grey flavored. It was very light and perfectly delicious. We all adored the hazelnut crunchy. The amount of crunch was unexpected and a nice surprise despite its name. The flavor did not disappoint. I was looking for a place that had single servings for sharing that could be ordered online and picked up quickly. This was the place! It is a small shop meant for takeout. read more

The interior is literally all pink and it's so cute. I love their decor and how they put so much effort into their desserts. We ordered the mango mousse and strawberry mousse cake and it was pleasantly not too sweet. The strawberry cloud drink we got looked cute, but not really worth it since it kind of just tasted like a strawberry slushy, but with no sweetness at all. read more

Quick Summary: - There are some tables and chairs inside - Adorable looking cakes This cafe has been on my radar for months, and I finally got to try it there. The food experience soared over my expectations. Inside the pink cafe, it is a quaint cafe with 3-4 chairs lined up along the walls. We were fortunate to get a seat and relax while eating our desserts because when we were finishing up, a crowd of customers flocked in one after another. Some arrived to pick up their orders and some claimed the seats, filling them all up. We ordered two drinks and a dessert on the first visit: the daydream, the snowy cloud, and the honey citron tea. The weather was on a cooler side, but we took a walk around the neighborhood, so this drink was perfect to cool us down. I have to admin, I was slightly wary of how intense the color was in their drinks and their desserts. From past experiences of my childhood, candy with intensely bright colors like this one didn't have the best flavors. Those skeptical thoughts were flown out the window after I took a sip of the drink. First, it was absolutely refreshing! This drink had yakult, too. I was alsos impressed with how soft and gentle the slushy was. We were sipping it but we never got brain freeze. This ice was also very easy to eat with a spoon too. None of the bites had a crunchy ice texture, it was fluffy soft. In addition of the cloud, it reminded me of cheese foam in some of the tea drinks. It blended well with the slushy. Another surprise was the snowy cloud (I decided to order this one over the other drinks because it looked like the perfect aesthetic match with the Daydreaming drink). Behind the display case, it looked like it was a mousse or a crème bavaroise. After seeing in on the table and tapped a fork against it, it was neither because it bounced. The flavor is a mix of yogurt and lychee with lychee fruit pieces hidden in the center. This was also very refreshing and healed our fatigue from the walk. The honey citron drink was served hot, and to my surprise this had the sweetest note out of the dishes we ordered. This cafe has so many surprises! Expectations are broken and a positive surprise is revealed. On a final note, the staff were very thoughtful as we took our time choosing our orders and peeked out from the counter from time to time to ask how we were doing. Definitely a "let's come back here again" to try the other adorable looking dishes and drinks. read more

(Overall: 85% | B) - Overall there are some pretty and interesting desserts and drinks at this shop. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cute (but no bathroom). I found the menu items to be presentation forward with the actual taste a bit lagging behind. (Strawberry Lava Mousse: 80% | B) - This rose is very pretty, but unfortunately misses the mark as it is essentially 90% mousse and 10% cake with some strawberry jam in the middle. While it looks good and is conceptually interesting, it does not taste very good and is missing substance. (Guava Berry Fruity Sparkling: 92% | A) - This drink is essentially a homemade soda with some fresh fruit. I found it to be a good balance of flavors and quite tasty. (Sparkling Fruit Punch: 80% | B) - Unlike the sparking fruity, I found this drink to be a little unbalanced in flavor -- particularly, the raspberry overpowers the rest of the drink. It looks good and is refreshing otherwise. IG: @amei.eats read more

DayDream Cake Shop made a delicious and beautiful cake for my daughter's fourth birthday. It was great communicating with Shirley, and we were able to figure out a good solution for what to make. There's lots of photos to look at and choose from. One thing that we really liked was that the cake was not too sweet. It was very light and flavorful. Birthday cakes can be a little pricey but we were very happy and it was well worth it and made for a memorable birthday party for a lot of kids and parents. read more

Beautiful little cake for a birthday. They were smiling and helpful. Even had candles by the register to make it easy.

I pre-ordered a few items but did not receive all of them in the delivery. When I called about the missing cake, was told it was because it was sold out. It would have been great if the shop could have reserved the pre-ordered/paid-for items for the day. Cute cakes though. read more

just found out this place is same owner as Diamond Coffee N Pastry which I frequent to for coffee and pastry. wow! Two talented power couple! Anyways, I ordered the 6" Earl grey cream cake. Easy order over the phone and once they get your cell phone, they text payment link to you. Super easy and fast check out. I ordered the cake one day ahead. There are so cakes which requires 3 days ahead so make sure to read that details. Cake availability is on their website. the young lady who took my phone order is the same person who helped me when I went to pick up the cake. She was super nice and sweet. I got enticed by all the cuteness so I got 3 of the mini cakes as gifts to my birthday friend also. I ate the cake later that night after the dinner celebration in a restaurant and let me tell you, the Earl grey cream cake was still so soft and moist and it has been in my fridge since noon. you can taste the subtle taste of the Earl Grey and MOST importantly to us Asians, the cake wasn't too sweet. That is the ultimate compliment! Both my friends said it was one of the best cake they had in a long time. I didn't get to try the mini cakes but now I am even more anticipating my next chance at going back. I also got the iced white grape tea. it was huge. I appreciate the size. Can't wait to try other cakes. Need more birthdays to celebrate Oh, they spelled my friend's name wrong on the cake but she didn't care. She was very happy receiving such a delicious cake read more

3.5 stars but rounding up for their unique desserts. Look for the cotton candy pink storefront to find DayDream Cake Shop. They weren't busy at 1:45pm on a Thursday, and they had a variety of very photogenic looking desserts to choose from in their display (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JDozaANKYA0pnK7c815CEw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg). Their prices are on the higher side, especially in this area, but you won't find another dessert shop with such beautiful desserts. In addition to desserts, they also have signature fruit/tea drinks available. I ended up trying: [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=y0njNbcjVvfA1RSFyIkqpg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg] -Sea Salt Cheese Molten (Topped w/Almonds, Sea Salted Cheese Creamer w/Signature Original Chiffon Cake, $10): I loved their sea salt cheese foam, which was fluffy and airy, with the perfect hint of salt. However, the chiffon cake was slightly overbaked/dry. It was still good when eaten with a copious amount of cheese foam. -Mango Soft Cheesecake (Mango Passion Fruit Gelee w/Mango Soft Cheesecake, $9): SO pretty, and I really liked the tropical flavor, although it was more of a mango versus passion fruit flavor. The texture of the soft cheesecake could've been a little creamier, in my opinion. I would come back if in the area to give their lychee cake and other cakes a try (especially for special occasions). Their staff was very friendly and helpful, and were still wearing a mask despite the mandate being lifted. They had hand sanitizer as well as indoor seating (no outdoor seating options). Parking in this area can be really tough, but there were some metered spots available on a Thursday. read more

I've never encountered a shop with such dreamy visuals before! While the aesthetics initially captured my attention, the delightfully fruity flavors sealed the deal on my enjoyment of every bite and sip. The Daydreaming slushees tasted like citrusy Yakult freezes topped with yummy cream and a cute deco piece. The Mixed Berry Gelee and Snowy Cloud, both topped with edible silver glitter, were light, fluffy, and fruity. I did not sample the Mango Cheesecake, but it looked just as cute and fulfilling as the other treats. Besides the gasp-inducing pastel displays and tasteful flavor combos, the service was also excellent. The staff member working the kiosk was patient and understanding as she took my order and explained customization options to another customer. I'll return whenever I want to immerse myself in a delightful wonderland again! read more

This place is a hidden gem! I ordered 2 cakes for 2 separate occasions and was impressed both times. My parents enjoyed it too and they're picky with dessert. The highest compliment from any Asian parents for dessert is "not too sweet" and the Earl Grey Cream cake and Earl Grey Boba Molten cake fit that description. The Earl Grey Boba Molten is my favorite. It's made with English earl grey creamer topped with brown sugar boba with Earl grey chiffon. I'm a big fan of boba tea, the cake had enough tea flavor yet not over powering. Boba was delicious. The Earl Grey Cream cake was light and fluffy. Looking forward to making your poop sparkle? This cake is topped with real gold flakes, though the gold flakes do not have any taste, it elevates the cake to a ostentatious level. I can't wait to try their other cakes! Looks like they create intricate custom cakes for many occasions. read more
