    Vegan chocolate cupcakes
    Shauna Z.

    With only one day notice Scott was able to prepare vegan chocolate cupcakes for my son's birthday. It was an easy pickup and my kids love loved the cupcakes. The taste was so delicious- you couldn't even tell they were vegan. Thanks Scott!!

    Without any recommendations and just basing it on the Kick Ass C. reviews on Yelp, I ordered 7 half a dozen of Scott's popular cupcakes. He even recommended the right mix of flavors. And you know what, I'm glad I chose Kick Ass C! Not only it looked great but it also was so good. It was a hit at my daughter's 7th birthday celebration. So glad I took that chance. Scott is one of the warmest, nicest and thoughtful person I've ever met. Thank you again Scott, you made our party a success!

    Chocolate Toffee Crunch
    Ciánna J.

    JUST ORDER THEM. I had a cupcake craving and reached out to Scott based on his yelp and reviews and asked about his rescue cupcakes (amazing idea for leftovers) he didn't have any that day so I put an order in after looking at ALL his flavors. We got the chocolate toffee crunch. HOLY CUPCAKE HEAVEN, I am snob when it comes to good desserts and this flavor was magical, it was the perfect ratio and not overly sweet and sooo moist. My husband and I were shocked at how delicious they were. We will be ordering plenty more in the future! Scott is extremely kind and responsive and clearly puts a lot of work into his craft and it shows!

    Dang cupcakes were delicious!

    This is my 3rd or 4th time ordering from Scott. Never had a problem with the orders. Gave Scott well over a week to prep a dozen, but last minute, ordered an additional 6 cupcakes. Of course, we had to have the German Chocolate and Red Velvet. We tried the new flavor, Shirley Temple. Definitely were not disappointed with any of the flavors. Some of us had seconds. Now they were not cheap, but if you want moisted and flavorful cupcakes, consider ordering from Kick-Ass Cupcakes.

    My daughter had her 8th birthday party and the kids went crazy for the chocolate strawberry filled cupcakes! Thank you so much Scott for making such soft delicious cupcakes for everybody to enjoy! Lots of my mom friends loved them and would love to try out your other flavors too! I can't wait to order more for myself this time!

    Kick Ass Cupcakes..... the perfect business for a kick ass 100th birthday celebration!

    Scott and Kick Ass Cupcakes went above and beyond for our aunt's 100th birthday celebration! From the planning and design to the flavor and presentation, every detail was handled with care and creativity. The Cupcakes weren't just beautiful. They were absolutely spectacular in taste and artistry! Celebrating our dear love one, a proud San Jose resident for nearly 80 years was already a milestone, but adding something sweet from a dynamic local business like Kick Ass Cupcakes made the day truly unforgettable! Thank you Scott for helping us make this once-in-a-lifetime celebration even more meaningful! With Many Thanks! Sylvia Stuart

    Chocolate cupcakes with choco frosting and rainbow sprinkles.

    (Our very first order with Kick Ass Cupcakes) Scott is beyond amazing! He is super flexible and easy to work with. I gave a last minute order at 10:15am and cupcakes were already ready by 11:30am :-O I don't think any other vendor would take such last min order as deliver such pretty cupcakes. The birthday potluck event was at noon and everyone enjoyed the cupcakes. For pickup, we arrived 10mins late due to traffic and he was still very flexible. Would highly recommend these cupcakes for your next event or a family or friends get together. He made pickup so smooth and quick. Scott is your GoTo person for cupcakes!! Thank you again!

    BananaNilla Cream - my favorite cause they have cream inside.  Red Velvet  S'mores - Fantastic presentation.  Raspberry Vanilla
    Andy L.

    Delicious cupcakes that are not overly sweet. I ordered four flavors with 6 cupcakes each flavor: BananaNilla Cream - I was surprised these were my favorite because I'm normally neutral toward banana. These had a delicious cream on the inside and vanilla wafer on top. S'mores - Fantastic presentation with the real chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow on top. Red Velvet - Moist and delicious like the others. Raspberry Vanilla - Nice fruit flavor with a bit of tart from the raspberry. I asked Scott what flavors he recommends I try in the future and he replied that it's difficult to answer because all of the flavors are based off his childhood favorites, but he named two to try -- Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Crunch (Oreo) and Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter.

    Get ready to wait, this place is popular for a reason. Izumi is one of my main go-tos for matcha…read more Their drinks strike a good balance of highlighting the natural, grassy/earthy taste of matcha without it being too sweet. Although my go-to is the honey matcha latte, you can honestly just throw a dart and be pleasantly surprised each time (I've done this about 5 times already). This time, I got the yuzu matcha tea. SUPER REFRESHING! Tart, citrusy and with the earthy matcha, the drink was a great pick me up. I recommend getting this if you can't have whole milk and wanna try something new! My partner got the soft serve and the flavor of the matcha cuts through very well- you won't be disappointed if you're a matcha lover. The line is long, but our orders always come out fairly quickly (around 10 minutes) after we order. I think it's long because others are debating what to pick at the kiosk. But alas, good luck finding parking! My partner and I always have to park on the street side of the plaza and walk over because we can never get a spot.

    Izumi Matcha has been a top option for matcha over the past year…read more While Izumi was popular over the summer of 2025, recently Izumi has been much emptier. The service is great, and they make your drinks very fast. The taste is very consistent, and they do have a large menu with lots of different items other than matcha. My only downside is the variety of matcha over the recent year. From last year and this year, the menu for matcha has not changed much, and it seems like I get the same taste every time I go. While the first time was enjoyable, after it just gets repetitive. I love Izumi, but I really wish there was a rotation between drinks.

It's also great for sharing a few different flavors with friends. On this visit, I ordered the Strawberry Mango Snow with extra condensed milk. Both were refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The fruit tasted fresh, and the extra condensed milk added the perfect amount of richness to every bite. Ordering was quick and convenient through the self-service kiosk, and our desserts were ready within just a few minutes. The process was smooth and efficient, making it an easy place to stop by for a quick treat. Another thing I appreciated was the spacious seating area. There was plenty of room to sit and chat, making it a great spot to catch up with friends over dessert. The toppings on the snow dessert were generous and complemented the shaved ice perfectly. Overall, if you're looking for a lighter, more manageable portion of bingsoo that still delivers on flavor, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The desserts are delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

She had no complaints. My mom enjoyed her taro dessert but wasn't a fan of the taro, durian, and salted egg. I thought it was overly sweet for my taste. We ordered extra drinks to offer to the monks (there were more than I expected)..oops! It was a warm day and we were all excited to be there.

Each drink is hand-whisked, so well worth the wait. Their cold foams were delicious and super flavorful as well. I was so excited to try the mango sticky rice matcha, as I hadn't seen this flavor anywhere else. The drink has a creamy salted coconut milk cold foam on top and some mango puree and glutinous rice on the bottom. Once everything was mixed, the mango flavor does get lost unfortunately. But still, the drink was amazing and rich. The guava li-hing matcha was sooo vibrant! I loved how the tropical flavor of the guava cold foam sprinkled with li-hing balanced out the earthy matcha. I've tried other guava matchas with guava puree on the bottom rather than cold foam on top, but I definitely prefer the latter to preserve the matcha flavor. The employees were kind and we came on a weekday afternoon with a short wait. Order at a kiosk. Limited seating inside. I wouldn't say this is an ideal study spot, but it is very aesthetic and bright. Parking was not a problem since this location is in a plaza.
