I love walking in and immediately seeing all the pastries on display. They look so pretty and cute!…read moreI went to the counter and everyone I talked to on the staff was so kind and friendly. I ordered a cake for my birthday and was able to pick it up the morning of the next day. It came with candles, matches, and a cake spatula that you can cut and serve the cake with. I got the cappuccino cake that looks like a cup of cappuccino. The inside was coffee flavored and it was so soft and fluffy. The cream also had coffee flavored and it was absolute heaven in my mouth. It had a caramel top over a white chocolate layer and it also had a chocolate handle, 3 coffee bean shaped chocolates on top, and a couple of chocolate sticks next to the chocolate logo of the bakery. They even wrote Happy Birthday in chocolate on the board the cake was on. The packaging was neat and compact so it didn't take too much space in the fridge and still kept the cake in perfect condition. I always order my birthday cakes from here every year because it's the only bakery that gets the texture of a whole cake actually right. Not dense and heavy, but light and airy and not too sweet.

I really wanted to like this place because my friends visit pretty often but my experience was…read moredisappointing. I spent around 10 to 15 dollars on a few higher priced items and they turned out to be stale. To make matters worse I actually ended up getting sick after eating them. As for the service it was alright overall. The store was very busy and there were only two tellers working but they were pretty fast and I was able to check out at a quick pace. The ambience was nothing crazy to talk about and it just looks like a standard small bakery with some seating. Typically when I have an experience like this I choose not to return. My friends have invited me back since then but after that first experience I just do not have any interest in going back.

Awesome!

All good, but the brownie cookie was reallly good!

The layers are perfectly crisp and buttery, and they are incredibly generous with the nuts. Every bite is rich, fragrant, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. What makes it even better is the experience: the owners are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll meet. You can truly feel the care and pride that goes into what they make. If you're a baklava lover, this place is 100% worth the visit. I will be back!

Many to pick from!

Like pork buns are 3.00 cash and 3.09 credit card. But at least that's an option now. Warmly greeted and helped at the front counter when I walked in. Looks like a traditional Chinese bakery with their decor and set up and heard the front counter lady say their food is more based on the south side of China. Their steam pork buns will always be a favorite. I was lucky enough to walk in when they brought out a fresh new batch so it was still nice and warm when I got home. Dough is sweet and fluffy with their bbq pork filling. For 3.00 a bun, it was quite smaller than I remember. The ratio of the dough and filling was also not as portioned. Some bites you just get the dough. First time having their steam chicken buns and was surprised to see that it was sliced chicken with veggies and a slice boiled egg. This was not it for me. It was like eating a stir fry in a bun. Though this bun was bigger and more portioned than the steam pork buns. This was also my first time trying their Shumai dumplings. The flavor was there. A nice umami flavor. But I was missing the bouncy texture of the meat. And for 4 for 7.00 they were pretty small (compared to the dim sum places). Looking forward to trying other others on their menu now that the menu and signs are easier to see/read.

I ordered my usual Papa's Breakfast which comes with French toast, a soft boiled egg, and garlic bread. The French toast was perfectly done with the most softest and tastiest cream on top.

The garlic bread was nice and crispy with a satisfying crunch when you bite into it. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here as usual and it made my visit with my friend a comfortable time together.

We went for dinner on the night of their soft opening and unfortunately there were a lot of hiccups. We were not introduced to our waiter/waitress? It was someone different the first few times and then the same girl for the last half. It took over half an hour to get our drinks ordered, and we had to prompt the server to put in the appetizer order. It took an hour to get our entrees from the time we ordered them. The wine selection from France was incredible the desserts were also fantastic but sadly the rest of the menu felt a bit lacking in comparison. That all being said it was the first night and I'm sure a thousand things went wrong in the process. We'd love to come back and try the dinner again when they've got some more evenings under their belt.

All of these cupcakes were extremely moist, and the frosting was piled high. My kids loved the red velvet and the chocolate fudge cupcake.
