    I love going here on weekdays for half priced bakery items. Also when going regularly there is day old items on sale. It's Filipino so I like that. I got the turon it was okay and the ube cookie but the Star of the show I would return for would be the Longanisa. The place is cute. There is seating and parking. The pandasal was really good too and under $1 wish it was hot! They take card

    Been wanting to get the ube croissant for awhile now and finally made the time to get one! It was delicious, not too sweet. Can't wait to try other items from here!

    We came by to check them out. The shop is small and super cute. You can sit down if you have a party of two or less. Overall we came a little later. Didnt realize it would sell out. So come earlier or put in an order in advance. We ordered one cupcake. It was the pandan cupcake. It was good, but a little too moist and there was a creme in the middle that seemed to still be panda. Wasn't sure. Giving the rating as the sevice was ok. The lady was sweet, but she kind of gave us the ugliest of the cupcakes. So overall consistency was about a 4 out 5 for the look of the cupcakes. I think what disappointed me is the lack of filipino bake goods when they run out of their popular items. It was still very typical things like biscoff cupcakes and croissants. I was expecting a full blown filipino bakery. So note that its a fusion bakery. Has french pasteries and filipino fusion pastery. So please go and try the other options. They looked good, but my heart was ready to try the filipino specifi flavors. Head there when they open or within the first hour. Also there is no sign on top. So look for the pink flags, to the right of NumNum. We will go back, but next time order something for a holiday gathering or birthday. I want to try amd rate it accordingly. This rating was focused more on the expectation of the bakery rather than the quality. One cupcake is not a good overall rating of what their food taste like. It was more the experience, advertisement, and the word of mouth expectations. I love the fact, we have a filipino bakery. Really excited to see what else they make and I guess I should follow them on social media to see what other options they have.

    A friend told us to try a Filipino Bakery in NW Reno. Opened in August 2025, Dream Cakes is an amazing blend exquisite bakery skills with pasteries that are sure to strike a cord with American and Filipino palettes alike. Let me just put it out there, in terms of Croissants, I think Dream Cakes is THE BEST in all of Reno. Bold words, I know, but these croissants are truly next level. The Chocolate Croissant has a light but satisfying snap to it, with the inside rich with flavor, fluffy, with structure and not at all doughy. The hint of chocolate completes the experience. The Butter Croissant had a rich, comforting buttery base, wrapped in a slightly flakey outside, one that announces itself with a gentle, articulate snap, the kind that suggests precision rather than fragility. It's a crispness that feels intentional, almost conversational, as if the pastry is inviting you into its layers rather than showing them off. Inside, the craftsmanship becomes unmistakable. There is no hint of doughiness, no underbaked heaviness lurking beneath the surface. Instead, each bite releases a warm, buttery richness that spreads slowly, confidently--never overwhelming, always balanced. What lingers is a sense of completeness. This croissant doesn't chase decadence; it achieves it through harmony. The textures speak to technique, the flavor to patience, and the overall experience to a baker who knows that the most memorable pastries are the ones that feel effortless. A quietly exceptional croissant--one that earns its praise not through grandeur, but through grace. Dream Cakes is worth the drive.

    Supporting a Filipino-owned small business in the biggest little city! Came for the ube croissant and it did not disappoint! The size was shareable and you can really taste the ube! We tried the longanisa croissant, but was a little disappointed. It wasn't served warm and the whole thing kind of fell apart due to soggy bread from the meat. I also ordered the cranberry orange cheesecake and love that one the most! Cute decor and friendly service!

    Welcome!

    I wanted to start 2026 off right. I wanted to get back in the Yelp food atmosphere. I follow Dream Cakes on social media and wanted to try their Ube croissant. January was ending and I took my mom out for the day. I was in northwest Reno, so I knew this was my chance! I saw on their website that you can order and pick up, but it had pick up times for the next day, so I figured you need 24 hours. Good to know! I will be using that in the future! :) When I got there, only a couple was ordering, but when I left, lots of customers were arriving! I believe it gets pretty busy! I already knew what I wanted from the choices on the website. But honestly, when I got there, I wanted everything. So many delicious choices! The Ube cookies are very good. The white chocolate chips are pretty sweet though. The Ube croissant is AMAZING!!!!!! Flaky, soft, buttery, and so much filling! Highly highly recommend! The chocolate chip cookies have plenty of chocolate and are large. Taste wonderful. Staff is friendly and helpful :) The parking lot is small , it is a shopping center with other businesses around.

    I am so beyond excited that this place exists! It's a bit of a drive for us, but that's mostly a good thing. We'll get it every now and then as a treat and not everyday, because I definitely would come back every single day for an Ube croissant. Those are absolutely DIVINE! As are so many other items including the cinnamon pull apart (warmed up is the best although they do not have a warmer for the croissants yet), the Ube cookie with white chocolate chips, and the strawberry shortcake cupcake. (let it get to room temp unless you're a fan of cold cupcakes from the fridge) I wasn't crazy about the blood orange cranberry cheesecake. It was lacking a bit in flavor, and the crust wasn't very buttery. The chocolate chip cookie (not pictured) was just okay, but the snickerdoodle cookie is by far my new favorite! It's chewy, crispy edges, spicy and warm, love it! I also tried the calamansi tart (not pictured), I didn't care for it very much, it's very close to key lime, but something was off about it for me. Another one that i don't have a picture of is the strawberry rhubarb Danish lightly dusted with powdered sugar. I had that the next day in the toaster oven and it was so perfect. The layers were still perfectly crispy, the powdered sugar melted which actually ended up being really good along with the jam in the center. I did like the longanisa sausage croissant, but the sweetness of it was throwing me off a bit so i didn't enjoy it as much, but the garlic parmesan croissant on the other hand! I could easily eat about four of those in one sitting no matter how strong the garlic is. Regardless of the items i didn't like, I can't wait to come back to try many of the other options. The staff are such sweet and helpful people, and the inside is so pretty and very clean. Salamat (thank you) to all at Dream Cakes, and much love.

    Good lord- the food here does things to me! Every single thing we tried was off the charts but my personal favorites were the Ube croissant and the spam croissant. Straight knocked my socks off!!! It's super cute in here- although it is tiny they do have plenty of outdoor seating. Pricing is fantastic as well. We got 5 things and it was around $25 which I think is great! Service was amazing and the girl who helped us was kind, helpful and knowledgeable. My husband is Filipino so it hits a soft spot for the both of us. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you!!!

    Okay, I had to do it! I had to drive from South Reno to Northwest Reno just to taste the delicacies at Dream Cakes. It was a terribly rainy day, but the tables inside were full with patrons chatting and eating. I was determined to get their famous ube croissants. In the case, there were only three left, but their kind employee pointed out a back shelf where they had dozens in case I needed more. The ube croissant was so flakey and filled to the brim with the lightest, fluffiest ube filling imaginable. The crunchy delicate croissant paired so perfectly with the not overly sweet filling. I immediately made an espresso when I got home, so I could enjoy it properly. The staff also recommended a Filipino sausage croissant that my daughter loved! Spiced just right and wrapped in a croissant which catches all the goodness and acts as a buttery wrap. We also tried the garlic twists and the strawberry rhubarb danish. The flakiness was consistent and buttery. The twists were crunchy and would go well with a soup or salad. The strawberry rhubarb filling in the danish tasted truly of fresh berries and seemed to melt into the pastry. So yummy! I'm looking forward to more trips to taste more of their treats.

    Great pastries and welcoming service. I love this new Filipino bakery. Very chic and clean. I highly recommend ordering the longanisa croissant, ube cupcake, ube cookies and pull apart cinnamon. We usually come around 9 and they're always out of ube croissant which is unfortunate for me but really happy for their success. Definitely recommend to come and visit and try their pastries!!

    We stopped into Dream Cakes to try some of their filipino baked goods and we had an overall good but mixed experience. We tried the longanisa croissant, ube croissant and ham and cheese croissant as well. We LOVED the ube croissant it was not too sweet and it was an absolute 10/10. We will be back for this for sure. The ham and cheese croissant was really good as expected. The longanisa croissant was what I was most looking forward to and it was good but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations as it was falling apart from the moment we picked it up because the meat was so heavy in the croissant it just broke immediately. The flavor was good but it felt too heavy inside the buttery flakes of the croissant. Overall, our experience was good and we look forward to trying some of their other baked goods like the cupcakes, tarts, etc.

    Derah M.

    Came here on a whim and so glad I did. I got the Blood Orange Cranberry Cheesecake, Ube Cookie, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Pull Apart Bread. The Blood Orange Cheesecake is amazing. I'm usually not a fan of cheesecake because people tend to make them overly sweet and sugary but this one wasn't overly sweet. The crust was perfect and the cake portion was moist and not dense. The cranberry topping was also balanced well and the orange garnish was perfect. The orange piece I think was the skin of an orange. I'm not sure but it tasted like an organic sour patch kid without the sour. It was so good I would literally order it if they sold it as candy lol. Everything else was really good too but my favorite of course was the cheesecake. The shop is pretty small and though there are some seats it's more of a grab and go type of place. The worker was very friendly and welcoming! She took time to explain flavors like pandan, ube, etc. and made recommendations. 5 Stars!

    The Goods!

    A Filipino bakery in Reno...finally! And trust me--don't let the name fool you. This spot is so much more than cakes. This place is an absolute gem! I pre-ordered online and their website is incredibly user-friendly. Highly recommend doing the same! The storefront is adorable--bright, inviting, and filled with the most amazing smells. It's tucked inside the retail building next to Peg's on Mae Anne, and the service is warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming with indoor/outdoor seating. Now...the goods. I was in Ube Heaven! As someone who bakes Ube treats myself, I can confidently say their flavors are spot on. The Ube Croissant is everything you hope it will be--light, airy, buttery, and filled with a silky Ube cream that's absolutely delicious and fully covered in Ube. The Ube Cookie might be one of the best I've ever had: soft, filled with white chocolate chips and a rich, true Ube flavor in every bite. The Calamansi Tart is a must if you love citrus--bright, refreshing, and perfectly sweet with a soft-crisp meringue on top. Total perfection. The Ube Cupcake is light, moist, and filled with that dreamy Ube cream. And the Cinnamon Pull-Apart with Brown Butter Coffee Icing, pure magic. For something savory, don't miss the Longanisa Croissant. The pastry is buttery and flaky, wrapped around flavorful, fresh-tasting longanisa (pork) So, so good. Overall, everything we tried was incredible--nothing overly sweet, beautifully balanced flavors, and you can truly taste the quality and love put into every pastry. I also love the baker's story and can't wait to try more of their creations. I'll definitely be ordering cakes from here for future celebrations. Highly, highly recommend this bakery!

    WOW! My friends invited us to a Facebook Live cooking show with Chef Jonathan Chapin of Reno…read moreRecipes. This event was a dinner and show that would rival any fun night out in Reno. Chef Jonathan puts on a raucous, joke-filled (R-rated), cooking show with audience participation and brings along a wonderful cast of cooking teammates to make for a wonderful event! When we arrived at our friend's home, there were appetizers and drinks out. Chef Jonathan laid the ground rules for the live show, and then the jokes started. I'm sure he would use different one's if kids were present, but if you're over 18, all bets are off! LOL The live show had humor, great smells, drinks handed out, and tastings for the guests. He made food for vegetarians, lactose-free dishes, and all different types of food preferences...truly a remarkable feat. During the show, I learned a few things, laughed a lot, and was VERY entertained. The food was DEEELISH! There was plenty of food for everyone, and a lot of good times were had by all. With the holidays just around the corner, if you want to have a memorable dining experience for your friends and family, DEFINITELY call Reno Recipes to reserve a date!

    This place felt like Willy Wonka opened a milkshake bar for the Instagram generation…read more We stopped by Black Rock Dessert while looking for ice cream and instead found milkshakes on steroids. We ordered the Dust Storm: a vanilla milkshake with chocolate bits, topped with a giant blondie skewered dramatically on top, plus whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate drizzle. The rim of the jar was coated in marshmallow dip and graham cracker crumbs because apparently subtlety has left the chat. Honestly, the presentation was on point and exactly the kind of milkshake kids dream about. Which is why we ordered it. My tween declared it "the best milkshake I've ever seen in my life," and honestly, that alone made it worth the stop on our mother-daughter trip. Taste-wise, it leaned very sweet for me and didn't have a ton of flavor depth beyond sugar overload. But clearly the goal here is maximal fun and aesthetic, and they absolutely nailed that. It's basically a photo op you can drink. The shop itself was surprisingly quiet when we visited in the evening--we had the whole place to ourselves--but there were games to play while waiting for our order (we pulled out Pick Up Sticks, which transported me straight back to my 90s childhood living room). The ladies at the counter were also incredibly kind and patient explaining the menu and flavors to us. If you're looking for an over-the-top dessert experience your kids will talk about for days, this is your place.

    I am a bit torn on Black Rock, but it's a great dessert spot nonetheless…read more Stopped in at Black Rock Dessert on a Thursday evening. Just one lone employee was running the place. In my opinion, it wasn't enough. There was a steady flow of people, and she couldn't keep up with orders and customer service. We opted for two small scoops of ice cream for the kids: chocolate and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We also ordered the sizzling blonde brownie sundae. It was about $20 for three items. The ice cream was very good, especially the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Very unique flavor and great texture. The blondie was a bit of a letdown. First, the blondie was not "sizzling". It wasn't even really warm. Only placed in a waffle iron for a few seconds. Second, it seemed very dry and crumbly, maybe even overbaked. I thought the ideas at Black Rock are fun, and I think trying one of their milkshakes should be my next visit. However, there are a lot of great ice cream spots in Reno. For just ice cream, I think there is some heavy competition.
