Found this cute Filipino dessert shop on social media and it did not disappoint. Like their page…read moredescribes, their menu changes constantly so they didn't have some of the items I had seen online (was hoping for the pandesal bread pudding and the ube crinkle cookie), but there were so many other mouthwatering things. The ube basque cheesecake was smooth and rich, but not as potent of an ube flavor as I would've expected. IMO the standout was the passionfruit donut. It reminded me so much of a malasada. The dough was perfectly light and airy and paired perfectly with the tart passionfruit filling. I also picked up their pandesal (that was still warm!) which was baked to perfection and was just slightly sweet. I saw online that the head baker previously did pastry and Michelin restaurants and it really showed. All the bakes were so well done and the flavors weren't overly sweet. I can't wait to go back to try more!

Someone from work had brought a box of cookies from Fern and Aurora and we all thoroughly enjoyed…read moreit, so I figured I should pop by when I happened to pass by the area. The inside of the shop looked super cute and cozy on the front side. The back is very much a wide-open kitchen, and it was interesting to watch them work on the pastries as soon as I walked in. Alas it was the end of the day, right before 5pm, so I didn't see any cookies left in the display case. However I am a sucker for basque style cheesecakes. So I purchased a small ube cheesecake and a bibingka cheesecake. If it wasn't so late in the day, I would have wanted to try one of their deliciously flavored drinks as well! The cakes were very moist and not crumbly at all, as basque cheesecake can sometimes turn. I did appreciate that there's a little bit of that creamy gooey center but the rest of the cake held good structure without loosing airiness. I did like the ube one better, but the salted egg yolk and the overall flavor of the bibingka cheesecake was so unique. I will visit again, hopefully earlier in the day, to catch some of the best textured chocolate crinkle cookie I've ever had and one of the Filipino-inspired drinks!

Wow. This place is poppin. They are at the corner of Springfield and Horace Harding. Quaint…read morespot, two kiosks to place orders, and there is a staff person at the single register if you prefer to order with a human. The employee at the register was very friendly and helped us narrow down our options. Take out only, no eating in. Their focus is corn dogs and donuts. They also have a few bubble tea and fruitade options. Prices are fair and they have several combo meals with even better prices. We tried their Combo3 B for $11, just under $12 with tax. Came with a mozzarella mix corn dog with panko breading. Half the dog was mozzarella and the other half had the hot dog. They have other breading toppings, with some being an additional $1.50. We added ketchup and mustard. Also came with two filled donuts, which we went with one Nutella and one strawberry cream cheese. You have option to put cinnamon or white sugar and we went with cinnamon sugar. All made to order and wow, sooo good! Corndog had a good crunch with each bite, good flavor. And the cheese pull, impressive! The donuts were pillowy, soft, light, and filled very well with each flavor. Not overly sweet, but just enough. Will be returning to try other menu items. Check them out!

They're not sitting out waiting to be picked up, they're prepared fresh right in front of you, customized exactly how you want them, and served warm. Yes, you'll wait a few minutes. But in a world where everything is about instant gratification, that short wait is part of what makes the experience special. You're getting something fresh and made specifically for you, and you can taste the difference in every bite. The donuts were soft, flavorful, and perfectly topped. The combinations are creative without being overwhelming, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. The shop itself felt clean, bright, and welcoming. Nyla made sure every bite was beautifully done. If you're in a hurry, I'd recommend ordering ahead. If not, just bring a little patience, it's absolutely worth it. When you get the chance, give them a try. I'll definitely be back.

My sister went to go pick up a babka from Noir Bakery that I had preordered and was treated with a lot of disrespect from a woman who was wearing a wig. My sister was accused of not paying for the babka and she had to contact me to show them proof (which again I'm not sure if this is necessary as I've never experienced it before- who else would know my name and what I ordered)? She didn't even get an apology afterwards, disgusting! On top of that, the cinnamon babka was literally soggy and gross. I couldn't even finish my piece and it was also overpriced as well. Definitely venture somewhere else for classic Jewish pastries because Noir does not do it justice.

The salmon was good, felt like a good quality one but the whole dish needed like a sauce to help it be more moist.

It took us a while to decide on what to buy partly because we were buying also for our friends. Naturally, we were asked relatedly by at least the different staff if we needed help or if we were ready to order. Each time, they seemed genuinely want to help, and made us feel welcome with their smiles and gentle demeanor. For myself, the pistachio muffin was totally satisfying and I confirm they did not slump on the nuts. The crunchy eclair was a BIG hit with our friends, and the rest is kind of a blur but I know we enjoyed everything we tried. We'd go back without hesitation. I hope they keep up the great work.

It comes in cubes so definitely easier to share. CRUNCHY: this is the very must!! It's chocolate mouse inside with layers of other chocolates. Plus with nuts on it. It's like a ferrero but bigger!
