If I ever need anything else, I'm definitely coming here!!

Crème brûlée was a 7.5/10. The sugar coating was a little too sweet, but I loved the crunch it gave…read moreand the cream in the middle was so good. Blueberry cheesecake gets an 8/10 overall. I didn't love the graham cracker because it had a strong buttery taste, but I get that it's needed to hold it together. Without that, it would've been a 9/10. The cheesecake topping tasted almost like custard and paired well with the blueberry cupcake base. Chocolate sea salt caramel... 10/10. This might actually be one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. Rich chocolate cake, caramel sauce in the middle, buttercream that wasn't too sweet, and the salt on top tied everything together perfectly. Peach cobbler was insane. 1000/10. It tasted like pumpkin pie and apple pie combined, probably from all the cinnamon. Not overly sweet, super light cream, and just perfection. Definitely worth the hype. The chocolate sea salt caramel and peach cobbler might actually be the best cupcakes I've ever had.

4.5/5: Super easy to get a custom cake! They responded so quickly to my email request…read more My cake was the 3 tier, 6 inch cake: Blueberry Pancake cake, Vanilla icing, Maple Buttercream filling. Blueberry Pancake is really good; I would recommend getting the maple buttercream filling for the full pancake vibe, otherwise it tastes like a blueberry muffin. My only negative is the buttercream filling was thicker than the cake itself -- wish there was more cake than frosting, but it wasn't overly sweet so no biggie. They made it exactly how the Inso picture was. Really appreciate how they advised me to lighten the color bc it would be too bitter and would oxidize. The cake was a little under $80! Huge steal compared to other bakeries. Store is super clean and nice, so many option from when I came to pickup at 9 am.

Absolutely delicious! The cupcakes are so good. I love the Cookie one but they all are worth trying.read more

This is my absolute most favorite bakery. So this is my ode to the bakery and Dom, who is a gem of…read morean employee there. I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

The cupcakes themselves are a good balance of fluffy and sweetness. I don't love their frosting though. I've had a number of flavors and the frostings are always way too sweet or way too buttery.

The inside decor was beautiful. The owner was very sweet and nice. I had the Caramel Coffee…read moreCupcake. caramel frosting with coffee flavored cake . The caramel cream on top is definitely a new version of buttercream I have never had before. It's light and fluffy and if I had to compare the taste of the texture of bettercream (half whip cream Half buttercream). I can tell she makes the caramel from scratch from the cooked sugar aftertaste I'm getting. But when you combine it with the coffee cake, the bitter coffee flavor along with the dense cake helps take down the buttercream sweetness and cooked sugar aftertaste. Carrot cake: The carrot cake is moist and sweet. I love the no nuts rules. It's how I prefer my carrot cake. The only minus is way too much ginger. The cream cheese frosting is light and airy and is not too sweet. I love the added caramelized pecans on top. All together it's a great combo but way too much spied seasonings.

The blueberry muffins and chocolate chip cookies were good, not a fan of the scone. the chocolate cupcake was too much chocolate for me, but definitely could see someone else loving it. I decided to also buy a mango matcha, with the staff's recommendation to use coconut milk. It was really tasty! I unfortunately only got 3 sips before the entire thing fell on my carpet at home. If anyone wanted to know if matcha stains, yes it does. The place itself was cute, and completely empty. I was the only one there grabbing my order, maybe a hidden gem? They've been open almost two years. It's only 5 mins away from me, so I plan to come back and try out another drink (and actually finish it) and a different flavored cupcake. 3 for now, with hopes of making me happier later.

Super quick and also very nice to us even while our younger little was hopping some wiggles out. What we got: Quiche (the daily was a sausage and broccoli) - I don't think I have ever had a quiche this style before. It was so so good. Huge portion that can easily split between two people. The egg was so custardy. And the crust was so flaky. It was more like a puff pastry or amazingly buttery pie dough. I think any quiche they make would be delicious. Even our kid kept wanting more ... and that's with broccoli y'all! Surefire way to get a kid veggies is through this magical quiche. Get it. 11/10 -- highly recommend.
