    Freshly made pastries and always yummy. Service was also great and friendly. They set up an outdoor seating area after the pandemic. Strongly recommend it!

    I came in for a cappuccino before work. Quick and friendly service. The cappuccino was just the boost of energy I needed. There was an option of brown sugar, white and even liquid sugar. I only saw the option of regular milk. While I did not have a sweet tooth when I entered looking at the choices of desserts they had was very tempting. I will plan to return to try one of the desserts.

    Starbucks by the beach was closed. So I used Yelp to find Kaffeine 231, and I am so glad I did!! I got an amazing coffee drink that was a Kaffeine special. It was so delicious!! I also ordered a piece of coffee cake that was maybe the best coffee cake that I have ever had. I love this place!! I am going to bring my wife and have some of their more savory lunch/ dinner items next time!

    This was my first time in a Brighton beach area, so also the 1st time seeing this establishment. To say that i was impressed is understatement. From glass windows i could see (Plov = specifically cooked rice with lamb or beef and vegetables) and it looked so tempting! I stepped inside to see the variety of dishes and really appreciated the assortment of sweet and savory options. Everything looked very authentic and appealing, as a Russian I wanted to eat it all. I was very hungry and got that rice with lamb, when ordering it i was also offered a boiled egg, cooked garlic, some cherry tomatoes. Not only it was a perfect portion for 2 people, but also a great leftover food for another meal. The quality and flavor was outstanding. Every time i was closing my eyes, I saw Russian food fairs where i could get such a divine dish. Employees / owners were very kind and hospitable, they made me feel welcome and at home. I will be back!

    Pistachio and raspberry cake
    Rebecca G.

    I'm so glad this place opened in the neighborhood! I went in yesterday and ordered a pistachio and raspberry cake for my mother-in-law's birthday. They were able to make it the same day. The pistachio sponge is so moist, and they used a ton of pistachios in the cake. They also used fresh whipped cream and raspberries in between the layers. And it was only $20 for a 6 inch cake! The prices for everything are very reasonable, and everything is freshly made onsite with good quality ingredients. I bought a few chocolate croissants and they too are delicious. My son loves their cinnamon buns and ice cream. I'm eating a slice of the cake as I write this review. Yum. Highly recommended.

    My delicious coffee and macaroons!

    New spit that just opened on Brighton, coffee is delicious especially the iced coffee! They have a wide assortment of snack food like sandwiches, spinach pies, etc. It really is becoming my new fav snack spot on Brighton, so far every time I come they have something unique and delicious. Also I bought a bunch of macaroons for my students, and they all screamed and loved them, saying that these are the best ones they've tried. Finally, the place is very well lit and has a really nice atmosphere to it, you come in and you just wanna sit down and relax, now that the weather is nice I can't wait to get in there for a break after being on the beach (the cafe is a block from the beach!), sip some nice coffee, have a snack, and cool off before heading back. Also have to mention, the staff are super friendly and will make your orders exactly as asked, without any problems whatsoever!

    The service was amazing. Crapes are a must. And it was the best coffee in the area. Sasha at the register was super nice and friendly.

    So there was a snafu with my order and while I wasn't exactly happy as it happened in Christmas…read moreEve, the staff/owner were all very nice and they're a small business doing what they can on a holiday with their family. Plus their baked goods are delicious! Two stand outs are the black sesame Swiss rolls and the durian cream puffs. It's been a year since my last review, and I think they improved the black sesame flavor. A full Swiss roll was $28 and so worth it. The durian cream puffs has a chunk of durian in it and the choux was crisp. Durian cream puffs sell out often. The chestnut mini cake is super cute, and honestly, it's hard to find chestnut flavored things here anymore. If I had to label this bakery anything, it would be the Chinese bakery that has all the nostalgic flavors with modern takes. Most Chinese bakeries by here don't do black sesame, durian or chestnut anymore. And this place does it well, and they're nice. NOTE: to order, they prefer WeChat. My ordering snafu happened bc I tried calling and there was a language miscommunication between WeChat/text messaging. WeChat is the easiest way to place orders.

    Cake 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreValue 4.5/5 Such a charming little bakery tucked away on 86th st - they're a true hidden gem! I love that they use fresh fruit and make their own cream. We ordered a custom cake for my niece's 12th birthday, and it was honestly one of the best custom cakes I've ever had. Most custom cakes tend to have a denser, tougher sponge, but this one was incredibly fluffy, bouncy, and perfectly balanced, most importantly not too sweet. The texture reminded me of the amazing cakes I've had in China, and I haven't found anything like it here until now. We also tried their fresh mochi filled with whipped cream and mango, it was so light and melts in your mouth! The mochi skin had just the right chew and reminded me of the fresh mochi I had in Taiwan. Even their mini hot dog bun was super tasty! Every item we tried was a hit. I'll definitely be back here!

    I ordered this cake for my daughter's 100-day celebration and honestly, it was a huge…read moredisappointment. The cake looked nice, but that's where it ended. There was absolutely no flavor--just tasted like straight butter and sugar. I know what pandan taste like and it wasn't it. I paid extra for pandan flavor, and honestly there was zero trace of it. I could tell she used green dye, It literally tasted like a bland, buttery sugar cookie cake. Texture-wise, it was just as bad. It wasn't moist at all and didn't even hold up properly even before cutting--it just fell apart. It looks like crumbled rocks. The cake was so dry! For the price, I expected much better quality. Communication was another major issue. There's no phone number, only email, which already felt off. Responses were slow and unhelpful, making the whole process feel unprofessional and honestly a bit sketchy. What kind of business only communicates through email? Overall, I'm highly disappointed. Definitely not worth the money. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere--this is a perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I truly wanted to support her small business but it didn't turn out the way I expected. This business overpromise and under deliver. Don't say you can make a pandan cake when you clearly don't have the proper ingredients. Could been honest to begin with but instead you dug a hole and lied by using green dye. Never again am I supporting this small home business I rather go to an actual LLC.

Lisa has baked for both of my children's first birthday parties and other bdays for years! Lisa nails the design EVERY TIME! She always listens to what I want and delivers each and every time. Her designs are very classy and current and simply beautiful. She's made customizing cakes so easy and stress-free for me over the years. Our guests were always so impressed by her cake designs and complimented how unique and yummy the cakes we got. Separately, I very much appreciate the unique flavors (green tea, ube, to name a few) that Lisa offers! Every time I try something new, it immediately becomes my new favorite. Her cakes are always super moist and delicious. I would strongly recommend Big Cake Mom to anyone who wants a beautiful and delicious custom-made cake.
