A fun concept with a few highlights, but the execution didn't fully come together this time. Stopped in to try the tiramisu jar. The dessert is layered with espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, cocoa, and chocolate toppings, all presented in a convenient jar. The flavor leaned heavily on the coffee side -- almost to the point of being slightly bitter. The ladyfingers had more of a crunchy texture rather than the soft, soaked consistency you'd typically expect in a tiramisu, which took away from the overall experience. On a positive note, the whipped topping and chocolate sprinkles on the outside of the jar added a nice touch and were the most enjoyable parts. Parking in this area can be a bit of a hassle, as it's mostly metered, so plan ahead. Overall, a creative dessert concept with nice presentation, but the balance and texture didn't quite meet expectations during this visit. read more

LOVEEE JARS!!!! Jars is a great place to go when you're looking for a sweet treat. The jars are delicious and the overall concept is so creative. There is really no other place where you can get a dessert like their jars! All the flavors we tried were delicious. The layers were perfect and complemented each other extremely well. We specifically loved the cookies & creme and the tiramisu! They prepare the jars very quickly and even have jars ready to go! read more

Cute little spot that has a small menu. There's two standing tables outside the spot to eat at, or you can walk around Bay Street and find somewhere else to sit. Place looks trendy and I was worried that the food was going to be gimmicky, but I was thankfully wrong! Staff were friendly and the place was clean, and there were tablets to order from. We got our food pretty quick. I got the Dubai chocolate shake and it was pretty good! However, I did try a bite of my friend's soft serve with cake pieces on top and OHHH I can see why this spot exists just for cake. You think cake is just cake, but this was moist, flavorful, and not too sweet. Will definitely be back to try one of their famous jars! read more

Amazing presentation! Looks great! And offers great flavors I loved the banana and oreo. Didnt love the tiramisu or red velvet. I wish there was more cake than whip/cream. Perfect portion. A little sweet than my preference but not overly sweet. read more

I finally got to stop by JARS! You can order with the staff or at the kiosk located one the right side as you walk in. My brother and I ordered the tiramisu and tres leche jars and a strawberry shortcake cake bar. I thought the tiramisu was okay, it was good but also okay if that makes sense. The tres leches was a little bit too sweet for me but my younger brother loved it. He also loved the cake bar, he's a huge fan of cake pops in general and loved the idea of a cake bar. Will definitely be coming back to try other flavors. I believe the menu changes but I'm hoping to try the peach cobbler and red velvet next. read more

I was craving a frozen sweet treat after a savory snack and thankfully came across this place while walking through Bay Street. I ordered the Red Velvet Cake soft serve and it was love at first bite It was probably the most refreshing soft serve I've ever had. The refreshing taste of the soft serve makes a good pair with the chewy cake pieces. The manager (I think) was kind enough to offer me a lid when he saw the cake pieces were falling off. I felt bad that the falling cake pieces were making a mess but he was so nice about it saying it happens all the time. He's so friendly to start a conversation with me. Sometime in the future I will try a Jar. read more

Easy to eat quick dessert in jars ($10) for your sweet tooth. I stopped in while shopping in Bay Street Emeryville and picked up a custom jar of half tiramisu with half red velvet on top. It had a nice, creamy and smooth mouthfeel and wasn't overly sweet. They have specials to buy these jars in multi-packs, as well as miniature versions. Cake bars are available, as well as a few fruit refresher drinks (with optional red bull added). Before I ordered, I was able to get a few taste samples to help me decide on the jar flavor(s). The owner, Tom, was there and let me know that they make their custards fresh everyday with whole ingredients, and that this franchise store is the first one in Northern California. They also have a membership rewards program you can join via mobile number too. read more

Wanted a sweet treat and ordered the strawberry shortcake soft serve. It was okay. The ingredients were like those from a grocery store. The strawberry was strawberry jam, the caramel syrup was from one of those store bought squeeze bottles, the cake pieces weren't soft. The soft serve was basic. I expected better flavor for the toppings. read more

We were just walking around and I had a sweet tooth so I decided to give this place a try. I have never heard of this place, but the jars and flavors of soft serve were calling for me! After debating on the jar, the bar or shake, I ordered two Oreo soft serves instead for my son and I. Oreo flavored anything is good IMO. There were two ordering kiosks. No tables or chairs. Workers were mostly in the back making the orders. One gentleman did come out and asked if I placed an order right when I finished. The ice cream was so delicious. There were cookies, chocolate, syrup, the size was a little smaller than expected for the price. My son really enjoyed it so it's a win win. read more

I had a question but the couple in front of me had soooo many questions..I waited a while and the cashier apologized for the wait. She was nice and friendly. I got the oreo soft serve. Not bad! The soft serve is a more of a frosty type texture and not like a usual soft serve. I like that the cone is soft. Not hard and crunchy. A nice sweet treat after dinner. read more

The place and ambience is very beautiful , nice and clean. They have a variety of options I wasn't a fan of the peach cobbler jar only because what should have been gram cracker crust but it was something else? But the little jars are cute and fresh, employee messed up my order but gave me it to me for free which was nice instead of throwing it away, my husband enjoyed it. I would definitely go back and try more items for sure. read more

We stopped by Jars by Fabio Viviani and honestly loved the experience from start to finish. First off -- the desserts. We tried the tres leches, and it was our favorite: soft, moist, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. The jar format makes it such an easy, mess-free treat, especially if you're walking around or waiting in line nearby. What really stood out, though, was the customer service and community support. We had a chance to chat with the manager, who shared that they mainly hire graduates from Emeryville High School and actively support the local Emeryville community. You can feel that care -- everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely proud to be there. We're also huge fans of Fabio Viviani (Top Chef forever ), so it was extra special to support one of his concepts that's doing good locally. Perfect sweet treat for walking around, waiting in line, or bringing to Valentine's or Galentine's. If you're in Emeryville, this spot is absolutely worth a stop. read more

Looking for a dessert after dinner, my party and I stumbled into JARS searching for an answer to our sugar cravings. With this being the only nearby option, we immediately walked over less than a block and were in shock at the plethora of enticing dessert options presented to us immediately upon entry. We were greeted with an assortment of Cake Pops and a menu that listed included Tiramisu Iced Coffee, JARS of Gelato and my favorite dessert, Milkshakes! Seeking to not overdo it with a dairy-greasy combination in our stomach having just completed a very satisfying Hot Pot dinner right down the street, my wife and I settled to share a Red Velvet Cheesecake Milkshake, while our friends selected to share an Oreo Cookies and Cream one. What greeted us immediately upon first taste was a rich, creamy, delightful sensation we've never had before. Our Milkshake literally tasted how one would envision a piece of cake being covered into a milkshake would taste like. It was the perfect texture, right amount of sweetness and a work of art. I can't speak on behalf of our friends but one of them said he preferred an In N' Out shake over theirs, while the other friend loved it. It's also worth noting that the menu is super diverse in flavor options, we literally had to fight our urges for the Tiramisu and Banana Cream Pie ones. The staff was super friendly, provided great recommendations, based upon their observations of popularity with customers, and got our shakes to us within just a few minutes after ordering. JARS literally provided me with one of the best milkshakes I've ever had, period. I can't wait to return for the next one and also explore their menu even further next time. 5/5. read more

Went the other night- on a weekday. Customer Service was excellent, the front person was able to give his recommendations based on other clients and his own personal flavor. He explained the options and was super helpful. We tried the smaller to go jars and I was not disappointed. we took them home and their convenient carry out jars and I fell in love. They cake was moist, the layers of flavors decadent and pretty satisfying imo. it didn't taste overly sugary or fake! Will visit again. Lighting was great, options were great, staff was friendly. read more

Omg how cute is JARS! Baystreet Emeryville is popping up with so many unique, new spots. After a recent visit, I'm excited for the positive changes, renovations, and future of this shopping center. It's seen its fair share of change, but JARS by Fabio Viviani is a breath of fun air! If you're looking for a little something sweet post-meal, or a cute dessert gift to bring for a party/holiday, JARS has adorable packaging and a great product. Literally a dessert jar with enough bites of deliciousness that you'll be more than satisfied. Flavors we tried: Banana Cream Pie (with Nilla wafers), Oreo Cookies n Cream, and Red Velvet Cheesecake. I loved the Banana Cream Pie most because I'm just a stan to that pie forever, but all in all, JARS did it justice. Layers of super yummy mason jar fillings. There are limited edition flavors and also shakes & soft serve. A customer was having such a great vibe with his soft serve, he asked if I wanted to try his creation :) Looks like you can order ahead on the website (I would def check the menu out or at least the look/feel of these little cuties), and they have party packs. No seating inside, but there is seating around Baystreet now if you're wanting to nibble in the immediate. For Baystreet I usually park in the covered garages, they've made the park and pay much more streamlined (now you can pay after you exit the car at a kiosk by entering your spot number) before entering the shopping/dining area, or by the app. read more

This was such a disappointment! I was excited to try, I got there a little too early they don't open till 12:00pm. Luckily Bay Street had other things to occupy my time until it opened. The young lady was super helpful and kind. It's a small space but cute. She recommended the banana cream jar and the peach cobbler jar. When I got to the car, I was sooooo disappointed lol. Man I wanted to go return them they were just not good. I don't know what it was but it was not it. That was an expensive fail. I have high expectations for peach cobbler and banana pudding, so don't take my word for it give them a try. read more

Does it taste good? Yes Is it worth going more than a block or two out of your way for? No Is it worth writing home about? No Is it a good deal given the portion size? No Is it sort of like tres leches or some other soggy and somewhat tasteless (but not *bad* per se, maybe an acquired taste) cake? Yes Is it propped up by some showboating celebrity chef that people with lives have never heard of? Yes read more

I was super excited to try this place. I placed my order ahead of time for an easy pickup. They have a couple of standing tables outside to enjoy your desserts. This location is open and welcoming and made for grab and go. I ordered the peach cobbler jar and was a bit unsure how I felt about it. I love cakes but this felt more like piling cream with little bits of cake inside. It wasn't what I was expecting. read more

Passed by and was going to keep going but my wife wanted to check it out. Took us a moment to understand the concept. Place is called "JARS" and they make desserts in "Jars". I thought it was an interesting concept. So I order and what does the lady do? She gives me a cheap plastic container with sharp edges that nearly cut me. When I asked her why I didn't get the jar, she claimed It looked "prettier" that way (I strongly disagree). So I paid a whole $10 for someone to cut corners and serve me mediocre pudding. Should change the name to "Cheap edged containers". The dessert itself was ok. Too rich for me to eat in one sitting. For that, I give this 2 stars. Had the service been better, I'd give it 3. I won't be coming back but give it a try. You might have a better experience. read more

I went to JARS for the first time. Ordering was pretty simple there is a kiosk and you order there. The menu has many options which was great to see and the pictures when you order are also helpful. There was a line when I went but staff was really great at getting everyone in and out. I am happy to see a dessert place in Emeryville. It is a great addition and good treat to grab after dinner or a movie or even shopping. I took the dish to go because I wanted to eat it at home and it held up great on the ride back. My tiramisu had great flavor and was a great size for me despite it looking quite small in the picture. I look forward to going back and trying a different flavor read more

Service was good. Ordered 4 jars. I personally did not care for any of them. 2 of my daughters liked the red velvet. The peach cobbler was my choice but something did not taste right like there was a chemical taste. I threw most of it away. Definitely not worth the price unfortunately. PS I am a home baker and can make anything but I like to give places a try when I don't feel like baking for myself and I was sad this does not make the cut. read more

My first time experience here at JARS was good! Quick and easy way to self order using the tablet. There were pre made desserts right at the counter so if you wanted something quick it was easily accessible. I believe it was the owner who greeted me and he was very nice. I got the Oreos cookies and cream and it was just too good not to leave a review. The custard for the topping was good and followed by the layers inside with chocolate and buttery pie crust! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! I will be coming back to try the rest of the flavors and maybe even place catering orders in the near future! read more

I've walked past this place a lot but never went in until tonight. What a cute shop and even cuter desserts! I tried the oreo cookies & cream, which has cookies and cream custard, pie crust, crushed oreo cookies, vanilla icing, and cake -- quite lot of stuff to fit in a little jar! I thought it was sweet, decadent, and very pretty. I would definitely come back and try more on the menu! They also sell drinks, with one being a Dubai shake (which is very on-trend right now) that looked as equally pretty and delicious as their other desserts. Someone ordered it and they seemed to really enjoy it, so that's also something I (and you) should consider at Jars. read more

Well I wanted to give a great review since I'm a big fan of Fabio. But I was pretty disappointed the jars are pretty small for 9.00ea and we came all the way from San Ramon just for dessert. It's a very small place. No tables nowhere to sit. The guy who sold us the jars was not very informative. He just asked me if I wanted the jars with lids or open not didn't tell me that if you don't get the lid, you get a fancier jar with the flavor you choose coming out. so I was really disappointed. the flavors to be honest we're not really that good. Sorry Fabio. read more

This place looked so cute and I hadn't heard of it before so had to try it out. They were soeedy with ordering and making it.

I was trying to find the place with the dipped oreos, but passed by Jars first and thought "Why not?". I only tried the cake pops and am not a fan. The outer texture was awful... like sugary wax. The inside was just... dense sugary mush. And it was all so bland! The only flavor was sugar. My son loved it of course, but he's 6, so of course he did. Two of those cake pops were ~ $10. If the rest of the menu is just sugar in sugar in sugar, I'll pass. read more

I went here on a Saturday around 7pm and there was no wait! However, there was a crowd a little AFTER I arrived. Anyways, I always love getting desserts after dinner so I decided to try this place and the cute ambiance outside the store was what drew me in! I saw their ad for their new Fall Flights line outside in front of their store. Since they have so many different flavors here and it was my first time trying this place, I decided to get it anyways. That flight came with Memphis Mafia (Peanuts), Carrot Cake, Apple Struesel, Raspberry Double Chocolate, Pumpkin Cheesecake, and also a Banana Cream Pie jar since they ran out of the Spooktacular Halloween flavor. I also tried the Red Velvet Cake Shake and Oreo Cake Shakes. Anyways, both of those shakes tasted very similar, but I still enjoyed the taste of those shakes. My top 2 favorite jar flavors from the Fall Flights were the Carrot Cake and Memphis Mafia (Peanuts) jars. I loved how the Carrot Cake wasn't too sweet and had cake pieces, which made it a nice treat. The Memphis Mafia was my other favorite since it reminded me of my favorite chocolate candy because of the crushed peanuts. I'd recommend this place! The staff are nice and helpful and I like how they wanted to know what my favorite jar flavors were. Everything tasted good too and I love how much variety they have. read more

Cute little place around Bay Street! This is my first time trying this place out but it did not disappoint! It was pretty ok, but i felt like the pumpkin cheesecake cup wasn't as sweet as I would have hoped. It does get pretty busy inside, so i wouldn't recommend walking in for any big orders. It took about 10 minutes for my order to come out for one cup. The staff were pretty nice and attentive to everyone and tried to get orders out as fast as possible even if they were pretty busy. It is a pretty small space inside, most people just grab and go with their orders. If you're looking for a sweet treat around Bay Street definitely worth the try if you're in the area :) read more

Normally I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but I recently had the opportunity to try Jars, and their kind staff may have converted me to a full on dessert head.

Little shop on Bay Street with lots of options including jarred desserts, cake pops, shakes and more. Staff was friendly and offered suggestions.

Service was great although we ordered through a tablet the gentlemen working the counter let us know he was there if we had any questions. It was our first time visiting and we weren't sure what to get so we went with the Salted caramel brownie, banana pudding, and cookies and cream. My husband wasn't a fan of the salted caramel brownie, while I love salted caramel he was right, the salt was overpowering, we bit into the brownie and it tasted like biting into a salt rock. The banana pudding was really good HOWEVER, it didn't give off cake vibes and tastes as if it has absolutely no cake in it. We have yet to try the cookies and cream but I will update here once we do! We were given our 3 jars in a bag to go (I assumed a box but I guess they don't have smaller ones) but unfortunately by the time we got home 2 of them had spilled out of the jar and packaging. Overall, was expecting more so we were a bit disappointed especially for the price. read more

I was so excited to finally come visit this place. After seeing the reviews and videos. It did not live up to the hype for me and my daughter. We couldn't decide what to order off the menu. We went for the peach cobbler and tres leche. Bot were so sweet and it was basically sweet pudding and not fresh whipping cream - a sweet whip cream. No real texture and just a super sweet mess. Not cheap either, $18 for 2 of them that went straight to the trash. Let me save you a disappointing experience and your money. Don't go here unless you like mediocre desserts. read more
