First time visiting I was amazed at all the delicious looking desserts, cakes and pastries…read more I picked up a 6" Sicilian cake for a friend's birthday. $38 for their smallest cake is a little pricey but it was rich chocolate ganache. I don't know exactly what pistachio mousse tastes like but I wouldn't have guessed it was that if I hadn't read the description. I also couldn't taste the Frangelico that was supposed to be there. The cake looked pretty and tasted good but the birthday boy thought it was a little dry. The service at the counter was friendly and helpful. I think the next time I need a special cake I would try preordering. Some of their other flavors looked really good but they were out of stock.

And I try to be lenient but I was expecting a black sesame paste and this was coarsely ground sesame on the bottom of my drink. The matcha flavor was ok but not great and the black sesame really disappointed me. I would go for the Thai based flavors over the matcha.

Poor, old, formerly great Fenton's. I grew up in Piedmont, I've been going there all of my life…read more Nowadays, I avoid going in, because the service was so rude so many times, I gave up. But, my boss orders us food from Fenton's via Doordash to be delivered to our Oakland office from time to time. Last several times in a row, it's been pretty dang bad, (the potato chips always taste fishy!) but today (8/5/26) it was literally garbage. We had 2 egg salad sandwiches and a jalapeno burger, plus two milkshakes. The egg salad sandwiches had to be straight up tossed out. Just not edible. The egg salad was sooo watery, it was like a soup. Just dripping and running down out of the bread. Also, a HEAVY mustard taste, overpowering everything else. The burger had a piece of something (literally) translucent on it, apparently their idea of a slice of cheese? And the accompanying fries were COLD. The toasted almond milkshake was so runny it was like a flavored water. Not at all a creamy consistency, I don't even think they made it with milk, it seemed to be just a tiny bit of ice cream, some water and a lot of ice cubes (still visible in the shake). Just nasty. The other milkshake seemed ok. Of course, with the order being from DoorDash, it's near-impossible to get any real support, so it's just basically a total loss. I don't know if Fenton's just doesn't GAF, since they're always busy anyways, OR if they need to pay their employees more in order to attract the sort of person who's capable of being trained to care to do things correctly, but it's just really a bummer that such a neat, fun, old legacy business is allowing itself to disappoint customers and turn into a big mess like this. Sad.

There was no wait, and the staff were genuinely friendly from the moment I walked in. Sometimes tea shops can feel a little rushed when they're busy, but this place had a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I ordered both a matcha latte and a hojicha latte to compare. The hojicha ended up being the clear winner for me. It had that warm, roasted flavor that makes hojicha so comforting without tasting overly sweet or heavy. It's the kind of drink I'd come back specifically to order again. The matcha latte was perfectly drinkable, but it didn't stand out the same way. It wasn't bad by any means, just not the most memorable. I'd definitely return, especially when I'm in the mood for a good hojicha latte and a quiet break while exploring Piedmont Avenue.

Friendly, helpful service. The person ahead of me ordered a double scoop and it looked so good I wanted my own, but knew I had to wait until later. Anyway, the scoops were quite large and the customer looked quite happy. I tried the two limited edition flavors. Ube and a Sri-nidadian Coco Cocoa, an upgraded version of a similar flavor they have had before. Well, the new and improved version of the Coco (coconut) Cocoa is DELICIOUS! Luckily on my return after dinner there was enough to make a pint! Whew! The shop is small so no dining inside, but there's some seating outside. I planned ahead and had my cooler and ice pack ready to take my pint home!

When i saw it on their social media posts I was expecting a meaty beef rib. For something that is pricey they should have atleast asked me if I wanted that specific cut. For that I will have to give them 3 stars.

The eclectic menu is just one expression of Ben's passion for this place. It has the things he loves to make and share, and new items come up all the time, as he experiments with new items. I can't touch all of them but I can tell you that the Big Three don't miss. Get yourself a brisket sandwich (on the pillowy challah roll) with a latke on the side (served with *both* sour cream and apple sauce) and a cheesecake for dessert (def start with the ube flavored one). Each one is well executed, but more important than any flavor is the care that goes into them. You sense that Ben wanted to get the crisp on the latkes just so, before sharing them with the town. The space itself is a big part of the joy as well. If you had your own shop, what would you paint on the walls? Murals of anime characters cover the place, and there is a pull-down screen for karaoke nights. Because there are some passionate customers too! Really an amazing chef and restaurant. We are lucky to have them serving up whatever comes to mind next.

I didn't give myself any expectations because sometimes food that are trending are overhyped. But these desserts were really good, even the flavors I typically do not prefer. The prices are pretty up there - our order was roughly $110. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I get them again? Only on special occasions. The flavors we got are below (ranked from my personal fave to least fave): 1. Pistachio - I'm probably biased towards this since I always like anything pistachio flavored. 2. Strawberry - A little tart, sweet, and the shell is just so good. 3. Mango - If you're a mango lover, this might be your favorite. I typically do not get mango-flavored desserts, but this one was good. For it to make it to my Top 3 says a lot. 4. Raspberry - I forgot why but I remember liking this lol. 5. Avocado - This one was shocking. I do not like anything avocado-flavored. I was hesitant on trying this but it was actually delicious. Very mellow and creamy. 6. Blueberry - For blueberry fans, this might not be for you. I do not like blueberries but this one was edible enough for me because the blueberry taste was not that strong. 7. Pomegranate - This was pretty bland. It made me think what pomegranate really tasted like because I couldn't really remember from this dessert. 8. Lemon - Most disappointing. There was something odd about its tartness. Not your typical lemon-flavored items. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. You can see the staff work on the dessert behind the counter. The staff assisting us was very patient because we were very indecisive on what to get, but we ultimately got one of everything. I want to emphasize that none of the desserts are bad. My ranking is just based on personal faves and I'm pretty picky. Highly recommend!

HOWEVER, I really wish they wouldn't let people bring their dogs into the store. I found a dog hair in my ice cream from one of the two dogs that went in right before I entered. I also watched a woman let her dog pee ALL OVER the floor near the entrance... and that was what I saw in just a few minutes of being there. It was disgusting!! When I left there was a puddle of dog pee inside. The owner clearly knew her dog did it but she pretended she didn't notice and left it there. I get that everyone wants to be *dog friendly* now but come ON! I didn't complain about the dog fur in my ice cream because it wasn't the fault of the employees, but my god... I beg the owner of Curbside Creamery to reconsider allowing people to bring their dogs inside. The employee who helped me was very nice, though! 5 stars for Curbside Creamery, but please oh please I don't want to find dog hair in my ice cream again!
