    Kake Birthday Cake
    Wanda W.

    Andrew was so easy to work with. We ordered a 2 tiered Kake cake for our wedding cake and it was amazing. We provided an AI rendering of what we wanted our cake to look like and it came out exactly how we wanted. Matcha cake, rasberries, yuzu...whats not to love. The cake was so moist and perfectly balanced, not too sweet. All our guests enjoyed the cake so much we had none left. We liked to cake so much we ordered one for my birthday. Can't recommend the Kake cake enough.

    Bo kho croissant
    Katie L.

    finally got my hands on the Bo kho croissant that's always sold out!! Last time I tried to get some at their popup I got there too late and they were alr sold out sadly! The Bo kho meat itself is very soft and tender surrounded by flaky layers of croissant! It's really good buttery and flaky! Love the pandan cake a lot as well, one of my favorite cakes that's not too sweet, airy and great cake to filling ratio! Pickup is usually at vans bakery near the tully lion plaza!

    Matcha, pandan, Vietnamese coffee tiramisu

    Gong Dessert Shop/Droo the Baker has some of the most innovative desserts and flavors I've seen in the Bay Area. As far as I know, they only do pop ups at some markets/fairs and sometimes in cafes. I think I've tried almost everything on their menu, but it's fun because of course items rotate in/out depending on availability and the event. Get ready for a thorough review! For me it all started with the hojicha black sesame mochi cookie, which was so fragrant with a delightful soft and chewy mochi in the middle. Then we had a matcha cake with a raspberry coulis (I think??), but the coulis came in a little pipette which was squeezed onto each bite! We had to ask how to eat this, but it was such an experience that added to how delicious this cake was. After this, I was hooked and started following to see when the next pop up would be. At another event, I was able to get the lava moon cakes that I've been dying to try, and they were delightfully melty in the center once heated up. The matcha one had the best flavor and surprisingly I also loved the Valrhona chocolate as well. Another surprise hit 1000/10 was the pandan mille pocket. I wasn't going to get it because he torches the creme brulee to order, and I didn't want to wait. But omg I'm so glad I did! What an experience!! Wonderfully flaky pastry with not too sweet strong pandan flavored custard in the middle, and the caramelized creme brulee on top?? What a lovely treat!! I see why everyone was ordering it now. I looooved the flavor of the Hong Kong milk tea tiramisu (tea-ramisu? hehe) but found the almond brittle topping hard to break through and made it difficult to eat. Droo responded on instagram that he would work on it, which was very nice of him! The other tiramisus were solid, but not as good as the milk tea one! I'm biased. The macarons were also delicious!! The yuzu one had such a strong flavor that it was immediately AH! YUZU! Rather than just a citrus flavor. The milk tea was a winner again, but the salted egg was a bit subtle for me. ANYWAY I am going to keep following them because they are doing amazing things and making my belly happy. Please support them!

    bingsoo with green tea, matcha sauce, red bean mochi and cheesecake cubes (sometimes you gotta take…read morea bite first and then fix your dessert) always order the cheesecake cubes, it will never disappoint! the ice cream works great, as it doesn't melt too fast! it was so packed today, ending up sharing a table with another group been coming here for years! been telling friends and bringing them here too. on busy days, having someone help reorganize the tables helps - ie. 2, 4, 6 or other tables sizes closing the blinds on super hot days and turning up the AC with hot days i have also tried other flavors including mango, strawberry and tiramisu

    Parking is absolutely horrible, but alas that is the fate of any plaza with good restaurants. A…read moresolid place for bingsu, but I cannot give this place any higher than 3 stars due to the price, quality, and service. I came around 6:50PM on a Saturday and there was a small line for the order kiosk. After I ordered, there were a limited number of seats since people tend to hangout in friend groups and treat it as their 3rd space, so be prepared to fight for a table if you're coming during peak times. I sat down and realized they were a whole 10+ orders behind, meaning I waited at least 25mins before getting my bingsu! I ordered a honeydew yogurt bingsu and it was $20. Inflation may be a little crazy, but this was a little above what I was expecting. It came with about 1/2's worth of honeydew. The bowl was not topped with bingsu, and I felt like there are more melons than bingsu (not ok). There were some sweet cheese pieces inside (yummy), some unsweetened frozen yogurt, and the rest was yogurt flavored bingsu. Although healthy, the bingsu itself was NOT sweet enough and I felt sick after eating so much unsweetened yogurt. I wish they gave us a cup of condensed milk like they do at every other bingsu place... Service was slow and everything is self serve, from getting your bingsu at the front to bussing your tray. I do believe there are other bingsu spots in Bay Area that give a similar experience with more variety and better pricing. I do not look forward to waiting almost 30min after spending $20 for a bingsu that's only half bingsu with honeydew layered on top.

    Izumi has been my favorite matcha spot for a while! I've been coming here since it opened. This is…read morea to-go tea shop, so there's no seating inside. You order at a kiosk and wait for your name to be called, then pick up your drinks at the counter. There are some benches outside in this plaza, so if you want to sit, you can. Their matcha is exceptional, and although the line can get very long, they are so efficient that your drinks are ready in no time. I'd say the longest part of the process is waiting for someone to place their order at the kiosk. As a vegan, I stick to the fruit teas like Strawberry Yuzu Matcha Tea, Red Dragon Refresher, Lychee Matcha Tea, and Yuzu Matcha Tea. However, prior to becoming vegan 3-ish years ago, I did try the Crème Brûlée Matcha and Okinawa Hojicha Latte. Each drink is delicious in its own way, and I love that the matcha shines regardless of the flavor you choose. During my recent visit, I had the Strawberry Yuzu Matcha. The screen suggested keeping it as is instead of choosing "less sweet," so I stuck with the original. I liked it, but next time I'll definitely go with less sweet. It wasn't a sugar bomb, but it was a bit sweeter than I prefer.

    Ordered strawberry matcha latte. No matcha flavor at all. Pretty disappointing since this place…read morespecializes in matcha .... It tasted like water with a splash of milk and strawberry. They gave a lot of ice. More than half the cup was ice. Expensive for green colored ice water lol. Better quality and value out there.
