    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!

    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.

    Matcha, pandan, Vietnamese coffee tiramisu
    Carolyn M.

    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!

You could buy tins of Marukyu Koyamaen matcha if you want to make lattes at home! Came here twice with my boo because their drinks slap! The Hojicha latte is not too sweet and very roasted, nutty, and smooth. The matcha crème brûlée swirl drank seemed to be their popular drink because a lot of those were being whipped up when we were waiting for our order. It looks aesthetically pleasing, but damn she thicck. It's like a milkshake and you need a big boba straw to get the liquid through. It was good but my boo said it was sorta a challenge to drink. A spoon is needed to thoroughly mix things together. The 2nd time around we ordered the matcha latte and the Hojicha cheese mousse. The Hojicha was a little stronger in flavor since there was no milk added to it. The cheese mousse was thick. I started drinking it through the sip top but eventually went in with a straw to mix it up. The hint of saltiness from the foam paired pretty well with the tea. My guy got the matcha latte with oat milk and the oat flavor is pretty overpowering. You'd taste the oat and then the matcha. It was okay but my boo finished it with no complaints. The shop is small but there's a long bench and a few tables to sip and chill. You mainly order from the kiosk, but when a long line forms, a human assists with ordering. The drink competition is strong in the plaza that they're in. There's at least 3 other boba shops in the same strip they're in and 2 more across the way. But Izumi stayed pretty busy the times we were there. Parking is kinda limited though because they're in a busy plaza. The last time we came we parked across at Target nearby and walked over. Overall, great Hojicha and matcha. The prices are decent for the area. They'll charge you if you want a cup of ice btw. Service is quick. I'd definitely come here again or to any of their other locations. When it comes to matcha they know what's up!

We ended up going again the next day to try it. We ordered the Premium Strawberry Sulbing and the Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast. The bingsoo was delicious and not too sweet, loaded with fresh strawberries and a big cheesecake wedge. It's especially great for a hot summer day. The portion size was good to share between two people. The toast was yummy but does have a sweeter taste profile due to the honey drizzle on top. Overall a great experience! We'll definitely be coming back!

We got the red bean and the strawberry flavors - the portions were very large for a bay-area reasonable price of less than $15 item. It was my first visit and honestly, I was a bit disappointed; while there were lots of fresh fruits, I found the flavor bland and not sweet enough - which may be someone's jam? I wished it had more condensed milk to give it a more creamy flavor. The shaved ice was beautiful and fluffy - i'd say this is the main draw that may bring me back to try new flavors. There is plenty of seating inside for tables of two or even small groups. Parking can be difficult since many popular establishments are in the same strip mall so plan ahead for parking time.

    I've been on a mango kick recently, and my best friend highly recommended Hui Lau Shan. I was…read moreintrigued and decided to order delivery. I really appreciated that the items came in a sealed bag. Not only did it ensure freshness, but it also helped assure me that the food wasn't tampered with. The bag was cute too. I'm actually glad that I ordered online, because the menu explicitly stated that products contain lard. I don't eat pork, so heads up if you don't either. I got the coconut mango sago (D4) and mango mochi. I dove right into the mochi, which was fantastic. The mochi was so soft and chewy, the shredded coconut attributed a nice texture, and I loved the mango bits in the center. I also enjoyed the coconut mango sago. There wasn't an option to modify the sweetness, which I was concerned about at first. The drink came out perfectly in balance with sweetness, and I felt that mostly came from the natural sweetness of the mango and coconut milk. I would absolutely return to try other things off the menu. I'm a fan of coconut mango and pomelo/grapefruit at other drink spots, so it's top of my list to try next time.

    pretty good mango desserts here! there's never too long of a wait…read more I like the D4, mango with sago drink. The sago here is consistently icy/hard here though - it doesn't seem as freshly made as the Hui Lau Shan in Cupertino.

The shop has a bright, clean interior with a casual atmosphere that makes it an easy place to stop for a refreshing dessert. Seeing stacks of fresh mangoes behind the counter immediately gave me confidence that the fruit would be one of the highlights of the experience. The mango desserts were easily the best part of my visit. I tried the Pomelo & Mango with Sago, which combined sweet mango, creamy coconut milk, chewy sago, and fresh pomelo for a refreshing balance of flavors and textures. I also enjoyed the Mango Chewy Ball, where the fresh mango and smooth mango juice paired perfectly with the soft, chewy rice balls. Both desserts felt light while still being satisfying, making them a great option on a warm day. I also had the chance to try a few of the other menu items. The mango mochi was fresh and soft, with ripe mango wrapped inside a delicate chewy layer. For something different, the spicy chili fish balls offered a savory contrast to the fruit desserts, adding a bit of heat and a springy texture that balanced out all of the sweetness. The ordering process was quick and straightforward, and my food arrived not long after I found a table. The dining area was clean and comfortable, and small touches like providing wet wipes made the experience feel a little more thoughtful. It is the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick dessert or stay a little longer while sharing a few different items with friends. Overall, Hui Lau Shan is a great spot for anyone looking for fresh, fruit-forward desserts with authentic Hong Kong flavors. The quality of the mangoes, the variety of textures, and the relaxed atmosphere made it a place I would happily return to whenever I was craving something refreshing.
