    1/4 sheet guava cake

    The guava cake was amazing. It was the best cake I have ever tasted! I am not exaggerating. I ordered a 1/4 sheet guava cake for a friend's birthday that same day (Wednesday). It was available, and they added a nice birthday message upon purchase. It was such a smooth, fast transaction. The cake was incredibly delicious. It was not too sweet - just right. The fruit decorations were beautiful, and the color and texture of the mousse were amazing. The mousse had a creamy, smooth texture. I wanted to get another slice of cake, but I withheld the urge Everyone loved it and asked where it came from. I'm actually going to start requesting this as my birthday cake every year from this bakery! Such a delight! I cannot find enough words to adequately describe my delectable experience. I'm still reeling!

    Rainbow Swiss rolls- yummy
    Jaane F.

    I bought their rainbow swiss roll cakes, which come in different flavors. I never saw any shop doing this. You get to try a different taste. I like their swiss roll, if you are not sweet. This is a must-try cake to get. The cake is soft and spongy. Also, I had their frozen food, like shrimp wontons and beef dumplings. Both are also good, and the price is very reasonable for the packaging. I will come back here more often to try out others.

    fluffy Japanese cheesecake ($15)
    Hesper W.

    Came here for the individual mousse cake and was pretty disappointed when they didn't have any. There was a box of sliced fluffy Japanese cheesecakes that I opted getting, but soon regretted it because of how expensive it was for 4 small slices ($15). Each slice was a different flavor: matcha, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. They were light and fluffy, and filled with whipped cream which was surprising since Japanese cheesecake doesn't have cream in it. Each flavor was distinctive and delicious, but it seriously wasn't worth the price.

    Baked goods

    Review for baked goods only! Stopped by here after visiting the Lion Market as a newbie to Fremont. The store looked tiny but they do sell frozen dumplings, drinks and cakes along with baked bread. Their assortment of bread included pineapple bun (which I got), hot dog bun, taro bun, cream bun, toast... etc. I quite enjoyed the ones I got. Didn't get a chance to try anything else but definitely in my plans to visit here again.

    boild fried shrimp, pork, and chives

    GREAT FROZEN CHINESE DUMPLINGS HERE. If you have frozen dumplings on your grocery list don't get them from the grocery store, get them from here. Review is only for the frozen dumplings and not their baked goods. They taste fresher, the skins are thin, and it's bursting with fillings. They are located in the freezer on the right side when you walk in, they will be in black takeout containers with clear lids or in bags. They were almost sold out around 2:30 pm which means tons of people are buying them. Some pricing for the ones we bought: -Pork wonton = $6.99 -Shrimp, Pork, Chive Wonton = $7.99 -Shrimp, Pork, Chive dumpling = $x.xx (forgot pricing) The dumpling we pan-cooked gyoza style with oil and did the other half boiled. Both were really good and tasted home-made and fresh, like something an older relative would make. Wontons same high quality, very good in leftover chicken soup on a cold day. If you've never been here it's inside the Lion Market, just look for Lion in the plaza and walk in, it'll be down the entrance walkway on the left.

    Durian
    Sheila K.

    Ordered two cakes for my bf's birthday: durian and peach/mango cake. They were able to accommodate making two smaller cakes which was nice, a few places I called couldn't do it. When I got there, the place was really hot and there were barely any bakery items on the shelves. I was a little nervous for how the cake was going to turn out. The cake wasn't ready as promised but it was delicious! My bf enjoyed the durian cake but not so the peach/mango cake. I didn't even try the durian cake (yuck!) but the peach/mango cake was delicious! Both cakes weren't too sweet. I'd definitely come back and order more cakes from here.

    Lychee Mousse (left) 8" Guava Mousse (right) 10"

    Unique flavors for fruit cake! My sister really wanted guava or passionfruit cake. Both fruit cakes were hard to find in SF due to not being in season, places not open because of the lockdown, and/or requires a special three day order in advance. Surprisingly, La Faralla had both of these fruity flavors ready in the back kitchen! Not only that, but they even had lychee mousse cake. I ended up ordering the guava and lychee mousses for my sister's birthday and brother's graduation, which were good; semi-sweet and moist. Perfect for Asian taste buds! 8" cost $32 10" cost $45 Located inside the plaza with lots of parking but service was just a bit slow esp after the server made a few errors when charging me.

    White Toast
    Denise L.

    My friend picked up some goodies from this location and I am obsessed! Their pork buns are so juicy, plenty of meat, and the bun is so soft, melt in your mouth! Their white toast bread was also so fluffy and fresh, and I ate about 4 slices in one sitting! Tasty by itself or with butter! Prices also seem very reasonable and will be a frequent spot for me!

    Strawberry Shortcake
    Sharon O.

    We ordered cakes from La Farfalla twice in October 2021 - Black Forest Cake and Strawberry Shortcake. They were both very good - light, not overly sweet. The black forest cake used maraschino cherries rather than fresh (which may be due to seasonality). The ordering process was easy - we placed the orders over the phone a day or two before we needed them. They wrote what we wanted on the cakes and had them ready for pick up on time. One thing we absolutely loved and appreciated was the box the cake came in -- it was beautiful and very functional with handles built in. Made quite the impression and was very useful!

    Food Poison Cake!!

    Beware of this La Farfalla Bakery chain store!! my husband ordered a cake here and we all got food poisoning with diarrhea!! we thought the cake was so dry and completely flavorless, on top of it, it was a simple vanilla cake with nothing in it! and was charged the crepe cake price... worst yet! the food poisoning!! We complained and they were so extremely Rude!! Should have read the 1 star reviews before ordering cake from here! all very true!! Can't get worst than this bakery!! go elsewhere!!

    Fresh bread doesn't come out till around 11am. Their steamed bun is good. Nice and soft. Their bread prices are pretty cheap compared to other Asian bakeries. I also really like their cakes. I am not a fan of cream so I really enjoy their cakes. Bottom layer is cake and the top is a moose flavor of your choice. I have tried the green tea, mango, strawberry, and lychee moose cakes and all have been very tasty.

    11 items for 13.90! Their buy 2 get 1 free is  so great.

They have coffee and pastries you will not find anywhere else in Fremont and remind me of some of the "Little Arabia" neighborhoods you normally only find in LA on the West Coast. Mufawar Coffee : Before cappuccinos and lattes, there was Mufawar. Born in Yemen's highlands, this creamy, cardamom-infused coffee made my morning, I loved being able to choose the sweetness level. Bee Bites: Sliced like a pie, covered in honey, delicious pastry with cheese inside. The kids loved this and debated over who got the last piece. Fatayer: I've had the chicken, beef, and spinach & feta and all were excellent. It's snack-sized and not too big and actually a perfect size for me to pair with their excellent coffee. Musakhan Chicken Roll: Chicken, olive oil, onion, spices. Again, I might be in the minority but I like snack sized food and not too big. I split this in half as a 2 snacks and it was excellent. Za'atar and cheese croissant: Za'atar is one of my favorite spice combos and Ioved it on this croissant, I reheated this in a toaster oven at 350 degrees at home and it was excellent! Frozen Blend: Pineapple Mango: Comes in a very cool glass and the kids destroyed this, they loved it so much!

Specifically the milk sun moon lake tea. She loved it in Taiwan and loves it even more in Fremont here. I ordered a milk tea red bean drink - super yummy, and a sun moon lake black tea thinking it was the one with milk. I couldn't see the milk part on the first menu. When I picked it up, my order was correct but hers was just the plain black tea. I had to go back and reorder it with the boss. Good customer service and super kind enough to remake it!!! And happy I got to bring back my sister her order. Which she's the one who wanted Tea Top for their the specific Taiwanese sun moon lake milk black tea in the 1st place.

    Final Thoughts: 2.00/5.00…read more After dinner, my friend and I went to get boba at the shop a few doors down. Perhaps we should have chosen somewhere else. My friend said that his coworkers will go here sometimes and they seem to like it. To each their own. I have personally had better, but I'll try anything once. Overall, will be a 2 star for me today. Drinks: Matcha Latte: 1.5/5 Very interesting how this place has fairly high marks and reviews. Maybe because their other drinks are better? I chose this drink today because I've very much gotten into matcha. This drink was not for me though. First look gave me that sense too. Lovely layering, but it was when it was mixed did I really see it. My one note is the amount of milk that is added to this drink. When it comes to matcha drinks, I find that less is more with the base. This drink just had so much milk and ice at the bottom and it completely dilutes the matcha. Had this matcha been in a little less milk, it may have been better. This also dulls out the color of it and makes the drink itself unappealing when it's mixed. This drink is super grainy at the bottom and I tried to mix it more, but that really didn't help. Sweetness was alright. Again, flavor of it was just the milk, so I can't say too much of the matcha since it drowned out. Grapefruit Green Tea with Crushed Ice: 3.0/5 This was my friend's drink and I tried it for my review purposes. This was the better option of the two. The grapefruit and tea drink itself was very refreshing. Sweetness was good. Something about the crushed ice made it better. I honestly don't think this drink would be the same with the regular cubed large ice. The crushed ice was also mixed in with the grapefruit pulp at the top too. I like that addition of the grapefruit because of it's natural flavor and that texture from it. Grapefruit can be slightly bitter, but I actually like it that subtle bitterness with the sweetness and tartness in it. The green tea is a good option to have with think drink because it's very light and doesn't overpower the remainder of the drink. Sweetness was good for me. Definitely more of a passing drink than the drink option that I chose today. Menu: Good enough variety Again, looks to be your standard boba shop menu. There are a fair amount of items on their menu for you to choose from though. Perhaps their fruit teas would have been the better option for me here. I thought my friend's drink was really refreshing and appropriate for the weather at the time. --------- Quality: So-so The matcha really doesn't look like my ceremonial grade matcha powder. Slightly oxidized and dulled out green color. This might be because it looked completely diluted, but maybe not. What gets me was how grainy it was too. Now, looking at my friend's drink, I liked the grapefruit pulp and the use of the natural fruit inside the drink. So, will depend on what you get and your preferences. Price: Average Truly your average Bay Area prices for these drinks and what they are. The price will range from $5 to $8, so really within that standard boba drink price here. Service: Friendly They greeted us when we walked into the shop and they were also really quick to make the drink. I noticed the person making the drink come to the front too to see what we would order and he started making it right after we paid for the drinks. Loving the quick service. There wasn't many groups ahead of us, so he was able to do this. I'm sure they try their best to keep up and make it quickly to order though, which I appreciate. Ambiance: Standard boba shop The interior is giving your very standard boba shop and smell. There are a few tables on the side and the counter on the other side. I think this would be a nice studying stop or charting spot because it seems very peaceful. Location/Parking: Long Plaza; Optimal Parking Spaces This area is on Cedar Blvd. The plaza itself is quite long and made up of sections of buildings. All of it seems to be connected though, so there are parking spaces. Doesn't seem like it was super super saturated of an area during the time, so my friend and I were able to park close by. I really don't see parking being too much of an issue though.
