Same for the cinnamon roll. Even after 6 hours and starting to dry out a little, STILL yummy. The sourdough loaf is magnificent. The quiche was for my wife. I am not really a quiche guy.....and even that was good. I am going back tomorrow.

I just happened to come across The Baker and the Cakemaker and, of course, I had to stop in and see…read morewhat they had! There were plenty of goodies to choose from like pastries, croissants, artisanal breads, cake slices, brioche bread with fruit, cinnamon rolls and several other products for sale. Their cake of the week was a mocha cake! It has layers of chocolate cake with an Expresso milk soak, frosted with expresso buttercream frosting with a chocolate ganache drip, topped with cocoa nuts... WOW!!! The artisanal breads are located on the side of the shop when you walk up towards the case. They have many flavors like roasted sourdough, pumpkin seed, kalamata olive, rosemary & lemon, and more! All breads are preservative free and made with organic flour. I decided to try the flourless brownie along with a ham and cheese croissant. I wanted something sweet and something savory. The flourless brownie was definitely my favorite of the two. It was rich, chocolatey, and had that creamy texture that you want from a good flourless brownie. It was a good size, too! The ham and cheese croissant itself was good and had a nice flaky texture, but I really wish there had been more ham and cheese inside. It felt a little light on the filling, especially compared to the size of the croissant. I absolutely enjoyed the flavor and flakey texture. It was a perfect crossiant, minus the ham and cheese part. The inside is cute but be prepared to get cozy with only a small amount of space to sit. Thankfully, they also have some outdoor seating if you want to hang out and enjoy your pastry there. I didn't get a picture of indoor or outdoor seating because they were a good amount of people enjoying their dining experience. I guess they know where the goodies are! Here! Overall, I liked discovering this little spot. Between the pastries, croissants, artisanal breads, and other goodies for sale, there was plenty to look at and definitely a few things I want to come back and try... and I'd for sure grab another one of those flourless brownies!

I travel ALOT and have tried MANY donut spots but this the best I've ever had. They even beat out…read morethe more cliché fancy ones in the downtown metro areas. I had the crème brule donut and it was to die for! I had to find a quiet spot, like in Ally Mcbeal, for that first bite & coffee sip. AHHH! Yah it was that good! The price was right for the quality vs the quantity and requires a return visit. These guys just opened so I can't wait to see what they do with coffee options later on. Speaking of which, the one star comment by Matt C (the cat DJ) is suspect. I mean come on 1,206 reviews, there is no quality to Matt's one star review and he violates Yelp review guidelines by reviewing on competitors in his industry, 198 of them. Here, Matt posts that he would rather stuff Wal-Mart donuts in his face to get more quantity instead of, as he claims, Hula Buns makes "a better tasting donut". I hope people make more reviews to counteract this kind of fake engagement. In a nutshell, Hula Buns makes superior quality pastries, call ahead is available, it's a pick up only joint; so the ambience is not for sitting and working, you can see a real kitchen in operation right behind the cashier, you see that the donuts are fresh, it's easy to find, the parking is good AND THEY DELIVER SMALL AND LARGE ORDERS! My co-workers are going to so LOVE ME!

Been trying to get to this place for a while and finally had the chance today. The service, the…read morevibe, the food, everything was just right. Maybe on the pricey side but I think it was very fair for the quality they serve. On a Sunday afternoon it was a constant stream of customers, but they have some indoor seating and plenty of covered outdoor seating with misters. Ketchup and water dispenser available along with packaged condiments like more ketchup, mustard, mayo, and even malt vinegar. Names are called on the speaker and they have several windows to pick up at. Orders are placed inside or outside at the window. It's pretty neat and makes for a perfect blend of updated/nice with great old school charm. I ordered the Guido (pastrami burger), halfsies (family size of fries and onion rings, opted for waffle fries), and a vanilla twisty with heath bar. The Guido is excellent, but you have to know what you're in for. With the pastrami and the deli mustard, it tastes overwhelmingly like a pastrami sandwich and less like a burger. But the patty, cheese, and veggies do add something to it. It's also very messy, but it was delicious. The onion rings were excellent. They have that smooth batter style, sorta kinda like tempura. My wife prefers the panko style so she was more into the fries. For the fries, they were good but I'd probably opt for normal fries next time instead of waffle fries. I was expecting something somewhat similar to chick fil a, but these were a little on the thicker side and almost had the texture of potato wedges. I'm also not a big fry seasoning guy, and these were well seasoned. But that's a me thing. We still ate them all and you know when I come back I'm not leaving here without fries. The twisty was really good. I might be the only one, but I'm such a sucker for heath bar when I saw it on the menu I had to order it. The ice cream was really good quality. Had a great texture and taste. They were generous with the heath bar. I'm aware I took down a disgusting amount of food, but I think if I could change one thing I'd get the larger size of the twisty next time. It was really good. Wish they had a location closer than 30 mins up the hill, but that won't stop me. Note that my wife asked about the black bean patty and it has cheese in it so it is vegetarian but not dairy free or vegan. So if you go that way, there's that. Not much for you besides fries and dole whip.

This a one awesome burger joint! First a high quality blended patty of chuck, brisket and short…read morerib. Super tasty! Then the menu has some great burger combos. I went w the Guido adding pastrami to their 1/3 lb patty. Their homemade burger sauce is a thousand island relative. Maybe a touch too much sauce but uber tasty. My wife had the Double D burger - double the patty!!! The waffle fries were well prepared and wonderfully seasoned - maybe some of the best fries seasoning in a long while. Mom took on the "cream" side w a Mocha Malt. It was thick and wonderful. The place is a counter order then pick up but that's just fine. It is nothing fancy inside but it gets the job done....Some small fly battles but great food. We will absolutely be coming back!

I've passed Ikeda's so many times and never stopped by, but finally going to Tahoe, my boyfriend…read moreand I made a pit stop for a quick lunch. We shared a double burger with bacon and truffle parm fries. I was pretty shocked on the portions and it was more than enough for us to share. The burger was pretty good and a solid try. I will say the truffle parm fries were delicious. Perfect amount of crispy and they don't skip on the seasoning. They were sooo good! We also got a slice of banana cream pie and blueberry pie. Probably the best banana cream pie we've had. The blueberry pie was filled! Literally no complaints. The crust of the pies were perfect too! Next time I really do want to try the chicken pot pie and will be coming back for a slice of pie. If you're in the area, I recommend you stopping by. Ikeda is loved for a reason!

They have a full kitchen menu so we tried out both of their Wagyu burgers. I liked my Wagyu smash burger a little more than the gourmet wagyu burger. They both came with veggies and were the same price so it's just a matter of preference on the style of burger patty. But both were cooked nicely and I liked the fresh veggies. They still have their signature pies and market side for all kinds of little goodies and market items to buy. I loved that they had so many milkshake options too, I wanted them all! I ended up going with the fresh peach one just because it was in season and it didn't disappoint. It was perfectly sweet and peachy but not in the artificial way. I just wish I had enough room to get the POG freeze, but next time! They have plenty of seating outside if you want to eat your meal and or dessert right away. I'll definitely keep this location in mind when we are in the area again.
