The flavor of them were good but I probably would only go back for the cookies and ice cream. Staff was friendly.

I'm sad to have to drop by my rating. I honestly can no longer give the shop a 5-star review…read more While their cupcakes are still really good and I can give stars for good cupcakes, I have to lower the rating for customer service because I recently had a really challenging time trying to order a cake from the Walnut Creek branch. Receiving a texted coupon for 15% off my order, I was excited to use it since I needed a birthday cake. Though there was an online code, I could not use the discount online. I called the shop several times, but there was no answer, and I even left a voice message but never heard a call back. Finally I noticed there was number on the website to text so I did, and got a response. The response was that it was too late to order the cake, and the coupon couldn't be used online ordering system because the online ordering system was different from what was used in the store. BUT I was told I can still call my order in and pay in advance over the phone to get the 15% discount if I still wanted cupcakes, and if the store didn't answer, the person sending the text said he/she would contact the store. I appreciated that kind gesture. The next morning, I settled for cupcakes and decided to call the order in and pick up the cupcakes in the afternoon since I had no time that morning to go to the store. But lo and behold, I called and again no one answered. I texted the same number from the day before and a response came back that they would contact the store to give me a call. I checked in by calling the store two more times and still no answer. And no one called back that afternoon either. Sadly, I had to give up, but was glad to give business to a way more responsive bakery with delicious cakes.

One of the first cupcake places that I liked when the "cupcake movement" was starting. Red velvet…read morewas my love at first bite and still is! I'll always remember the moist rich velvety cake and lots of cream cheese frosting with that signature sugar dot. Ah nostalgia! Tried a box of 6 for fun - red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, blueberry lemon, carrot, and cookies & cream. They were tasty the day of but a few got dry the next day. The prices are also higher which I get due to the larger size and quality ingredients. However, the cupcake world has since gotten more saturated and they aren't the big fish in the pond anymore. Ordering was convenient via the self kiosk and cupcakes were ready for pickup in a breeze. There is ample seating inside too! If I'm in the area, I'd still get my fave red velvet and the cookies & cream!

Went in again for breakfast between appts and I traveled 40 minutes to get here (and back) around…read more9:30ish-10ish. That tells you what I think of the food. Amazing. Some of the clientele can be a bit rude if you are not who they expect in that environment (iykyk), but that's Danville/Contra Consta County in general I think. For ex. a grandma came in with her grandson. I smiled and waved at him on the way in. While they were leaving, she completely hit my chair to the point where I almost fell out of it, and she didn't even apologize, but that's not the cafe's fault. I only write this to let you know expect some of that behavior. Another elderly gentleman kept coming in front of me while I was completing my bakery order b/c he couldn't wait to be served, etc. but other elderly patrons were lovely. Ordered a spring omelet and got something else instead (with meat!), and they corrected the mistake w/o making me feel bad and gave me extra potatoes. I got to steep my tea the way I wanted to!!! Next time I'll ask for extra hot water. Sat outside during the light rain by myself, so pleasant. Got baked goods and I shouldn't have assumed they didn't have proper pasty boxes for it all, they do. You just have to ask that all your baked goods don't go in one box. The amicable server last time, took my order this time as well. She strives to make everyone feel comfortable and the morning rush shows this. Got 4 cupcakes and she suggested the mango, omA so freaking good! Not too sweet or greasy which is a common problem with dedicated gluten free goods. I only ordered 4 cookies this time and both the scones. I should have gotten a whole box of those lemon blueberry scones, divine! Came home and my daughter said you didn't get a brownie, oh gosh, sorry, next time! This is by far the best dedicated gluten-free restaurant in all of the Bay Area. It trumps Mariposa's, it trumps Pushkin's in Sacramento (not in the Bay Area, but I have enjoyed their restaurant while I am there), it trumps Stacks which have dedicated gluten-free menus, but I've always had reactions after eating there. I've never had a bad stomach reaction after eating here and I am just so happy this place exists.

I was at "Life is Sweet Bakery & Cafe" for a quick visit on a sunny Wednesday afternoon…read more I just wanted to see their selection of cookies. Maybe they had some Oatmeal Raisin. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a young lady behind the counter. I decided to try a variety of cookies on display in the case. I went with- Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter, Cookies 'n Cream, and Snickerdoodle. So 4 cookies, total $19. Good, fresh and tasty cookies. Not too sweet. Cafe was clean and neat. Lots of tables inside, and some outside. I will definitely return if I'm in downtown Danville again.

POST WEDDING UPDATE: After the cake tasting and deciding on using Ma Petite Maison, we asked Negar…read morefor a contract (she calls it order form). After a few weeks, we finally got it. It did take some effort (several emails and voice mails). A couple of weeks before the wedding, I wanted to know where/when the flowers from the florist should get delivered so that she can put them on the cake. When I didn't hear back from Negar, I contacted my florist and she responded immediately that I don't need to worry. Negar delivers the cake to the venue, and the flowers are added there. Phew! So my only negative comment is that communications is not great, but persevere because the cake will be worth it! On the day of the wedding, seeing that beautiful cake on the table, it was just what we had imagined. We got great advice from Negar that we should order only enough cake for about 75% of your guests, and sure enough, that was plenty. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it tasted just as good. It was so moist, and you can really tastes the strawberry flavor in the filling. It was just as we remembered from the tasting. We had so many compliments on the cake. So don't give up if you can't reach Negar. She does everything herself, and is a totally sweet person to work with. The cake will be worth it.

After a magnificent dinner in the area a hand in hand walk in downtown Americana Pleasanton was…read morenecessary. Low and behold what did that wooden sign say out front? Did it say European pastries? We had absolutely no room for a single thing, but European? Traditionally European desserts are not heavy on the sugar, don't have all the food coloring, and additives. Ding Ding plus Ding my mind spins fast as my hubby is getting pulled at a rapid pace towards the door. He says "No Way" I say "For another time," as we don't live in the area. We walked in to see cases of pastry delights. I turn back as hubby dares not to enter entirely into the temptation. As I look back I see stacks of boxes, walk over to discover they are all pies! Anyone that knows me knows my last meal in life would consist of Berry Pie for dessert. I look and there it is a Mixed Berry. I turn and ask the lady after she was done with her customer how much for this delight? She said it's $24. Without question I grabbed said pie, and went to the register. I told her that Berry is my favorite, and she went on to say that every Friday is Pie Day. She also mentioned that if I ever needed anything in particular, I could call ahead. She could have it prepared for me. Wonderful lady and beautiful service. Might I add that a pie of this weight and stature normally runs about $35 even $40 in some places. We had a slice the next day because I could not bear it any longer. Without lie this is the best pie I've had in years!!!! Years or even perhaps ever. It has to be realized that if there is Berry Pie of any kind on the menu it will be ordered even to go. There were actual whole berries, and it was not full of sugar like some pies. You can taste the natural fruit of summer, and the crust was perfection!!!! Now I have to wait for a Birthday to order a cake. I'm sure it will be divine! I could take a pic of pie now but it's partially gone. Not so picturesque.

Lots to choose from- the cannolis - don't forget the cannolis - I'm from the east coast and that was the clincher. The ricotta mmmmmm- stop by- you will be glad you did.
