I was at "Life is Sweet Bakery & Cafe" for a quick visit on a sunny Wednesday afternoon…read more I just wanted to see their selection of cookies. Maybe they had some Oatmeal Raisin. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a young lady behind the counter. I decided to try a variety of cookies on display in the case. I went with- Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter, Cookies 'n Cream, and Snickerdoodle. So 4 cookies, total $19. Good, fresh and tasty cookies. Not too sweet. Cafe was clean and neat. Lots of tables inside, and some outside. I will definitely return if I'm in downtown Danville again.

I went in for the soft opening on Tuesday, July 20th and purchased 3 desserts that I will definitely go back for: the Apple strudel Cheesecake, Lemon Bar, and Chocolate Chip cookies with walnuts. I actually purchased the lemon bar for my husband but he ate and thoroughly enjoyed the cheesecake instead! There was a chocolate layer cake in the case that I also had my eye on; but decided I'd try it this week. The customer service is great! Welcome to San Ramon Gregory & Team. I can't wait for the small tables to get set up. The location is a great one to enjoy coffee, pastry or dessert, & people watch.

My first visit was a to-go order of the Original Croissant, Pain Suisse, and Flan, and I loved everything so much that I came back again a month later when I was in the area. Their pastries are seriously exceptional, and I can totally see why they won the award. Personally though, I actually love the Pain Suisse even more! The dough was flaky, buttery, a right balance between crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside with each bite. And the Flan Vanille is on another level. I've tried so many different flans and even know how to make a pretty good one myself, but this is the kind of flan I would bring to a party if I wanted to impress everyone. The bakery itself is beautiful, and I love that you can watch the bakers working through the glass window. Their pastry display is also dangerous because everything looks so good, with tons of sweet and savory options. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well. Staffs were friendly and welcoming. I also tried their holiday berry croissant on my second visit. They definitely did NOT skimp on the filling lol. It was actually a little too much filling-to-croissant ratio for me, but I appreciate the generosity! Strawberry Cookie were soft and fresh Prices are pretty average for artisan pastries, and the quality and size is definitely worth it. Such a great bakery in Danville and I'll absolutely be back.

My dad had many…read moreinquisitive questions & I asked about their popular items to which the cashier kindly answered w/such sincerity & enthusiasm that made us feel valued as a customer. Items: Cinnamon Brioche $6.50 soft, fresh brioche w/a beautiful cinnamon to sugar ratio that had the perfect sweetness. Pain Suisse $6.50 a chocolate crioissant that has lingering pieces of crisp chocolate that oozed out while baking. The croissant had flaky layers that was very well crafted. Not overly sweet & the ideal pastry with a cup of coffee. Egg Turkey Breakfast Bun $6 a filling savory treat crafted w/attention & care. Mango Passionfruit Sorbet $12 had both a good balance of mango & Passionfruit purée but it was a little sweet due to the 2 fruits added, but it certainly was a nice way to cool off in 90 degree weather. Everything was authentic & the customer service was the cherry on top.

I've had the privilege of enjoying After By Tori's baked goods twice now, and I was incredibly…read moreimpressed both times. My friend sent me some matcha sesame madeleines for my birthday, and my family finished all five of them in one day. Not only were they beautiful, but they were also so light, fluffy, and balanced in texture and flavor. I was actually so happy with these that I ordered a box of confetti cupcakes for another friend immediately after. Tori was so accommodating with my request and promptly delivered the goods in adorable packaging. These were also unlike any cupcakes we had ever had; they were so fluffy and soft, and filled with cream instead of iced outside. They were truly delightful and made a wonderful birthday present. I'll definitely be ordering from Tori again. I love seeing small businesses from around here, and I cannot express how pleased I was with everything - from the packaging to the ingredients to the taste. I love the variety on the menu and I cannot wait to try some more goodies soon!! Cant recommend enough!!

In the past few months, After By Tori has become one of my go-to places to order gifts to a send to…read morefriends for birthdays or other celebrations. Recently, I finally splurged and ordered something for myself! A Mystery Box. In it, I received a lovely variety including 3 matcha cookies, and 1 each of berry, matcha sesame, and citrus madeleines. My favorite was definitely the cookies, I enjoy matcha in general and thought the combination of matcha with chocolate was a tasty and creative one! They were sweet but not too sweet and had a great chewy texture that held up well in their journey from SF to NYC. Overall, the customer service is prompt and the goodies are clearly made with care. I appreciate that shipping is available nationwide and that the delivery cost is incorporated into the menu price so it is easy to mentally calculate my total bill. Glancing at the menu, you can tell that After By Tori is pricier than your average bulk box of cookies at a grocery store, but you get the high quality that you pay for :-) They are open and receptive to feedback on their products and packaging as well. On social media, you are gifted with the additional treat of behind-the-scenes photos and videos as orders are being fulfilled and new recipes are being explored. I'm looking forward to seeing (and tasting) what After by Tori creates in the future

I ordered a hot vanilla latte and it was made right away. Prices are great, coffee nowadays is too much but this quality was well worth it. Only downside for me is that there is no place to sit.
