    Custom 16" cake
    Ariana A.

    I always enjoy going to Lucky because of the huge variety of brands that they carry, lots of parking, and freebies if you're a Lucky Rewards member. Prior to Safeway opening, Lucky used to be the only grocery store in Hercules. So you could expect that right at 5pm, the lines would be huge. Nowadays it isn't too crowded inside the store, which makes for a very pleasant shopping experience. Bakery section: I always make this section a must-go for every shopping trip, even if I don't plan to buy any bakery items. There's a wide array of cookies, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, cakes, and more. This Thanksgiving we ordered a custom cake for the first time which looked great. For a 16" custom cake, the cost was only $19.99. Hot Food Section: I highly recommend the vinegar chicken. The flavor is so strong and delicious. I think it's a popular item because the past few times I went to buy some, they were sold out and I would have to wait for the new batch to be ready. Lucky Rewards: You can sing up easily for their rewards program online. $1= 1 base point, you can accumulate points for $1, $5, $10 dollar discounts. They also have weekly free items that they offer on the app. You just clip your digital coupon, enter your rewards phone number at check-out, and you automatically get the item free when the cashier scans it. Check-out Experience: There usually aren't that many lanes open, around 1 or 2. There are 4 self check-out stands available, typically one would be out of service.

    4 out of 24 games available....  Very disappointed....

    Sooooo, I've been in Hercules for over 20 years now.... And I have never been as disappointed in the quality of service as of lately. Everyone knows there are only 5 public schools in our city. They ALL have graduation on the same week...how much more convenient can that be for a full service grocery store to just have even 5 pallets of fresh flowers for the city to buy to celebrate graduations with?? Let's just say there are 200 kids (super low ball) per school.... 200 kids X 5 schools + teachers and staff and also regular sales...... How can they go wrong with having that quantity on hand. Instead, what did they have? Slim pickings of dying / half dead bouquets.... Not even worth $2.00 a bouquet. I was so dissatisfied that I went to plan B. Lottery scratchers. And what happened??? The only game not sold out was the $5 Scrabble scratchers? Yet, whoever is leading this ship beat me to it by making sure I can't spend any money there.

    Cooked shrimp
    Vuoch L.

    Stopped in for some cooked shrimps and cocktail sauce. I saw in the glass drawers the cooked shrimps I bought were listed at $8.99 a pound . I asked the friendly personnel behind the counter for 4 pounds of shrimps. Half way trying to self pay for my cocktail sauce. I noticed the price listed in the sticker wrapped shrimps said $12.99 a pound. ( I thought geesh it's more than the bigger size shrimps) Ran back to the the seafood department asked the gentleman how much a pound , he said he's $12.99. I informed him I could be wrong but I swore the sticker advertised price for eve shrimps I bought were listed as 8.99 a pound. .. he gave me his two cents as to why it costs this much. I proceeded to ask him can you flip that label over it should read $8.99 a pound .. Bingo!! Got him to change my prices a big $10 difference. make sure to always check their pricing before leaving the stores.

    Of course only 2 checkouts open and a line to the back

We recently ordered a custom cake for our daughter, and she absolutely loved it! Not only was it beautiful and delicious, but it also held up perfectly during our 1.5-hour drive. Chef Joe and Chef Kate make amazing baked goods, but I have to say, their savory food might be even more amazing! Must-tries: Crab Fat Pasta - I could honestly eat this every day if I could! Longanisa Sandwich - definitely not your typical boring sandwich. Pork Belly Z-Logs - toddler-approved by our super picky little one! Halo-Halo & Mais con Hielo - the perfect treats to cool down with on a hot day! Milo Dinosaur, Matcha Fragola & Biscoff Latte - all on regular rotation in our family. Sugartoof has become one of those places that feels like a family favorite. Whether you're craving something sweet, savory, or a good drink, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend!

Today I got the biscoff latte (iced) and a ube tiramisu latte. Both delicious! 3 cannolis 1 biscoff and two pistachios. Everything here is so good! Definitely will come back when I am in the area. I don't have the old pictures of the cupcakes.

To see how much Michelle has upgraded and transformed the Buisness over the years is inspiring! It's like night and day seeing how it used to look inside compared to now. The remodel and constant upgrades that have been made show that the owner reinvests heavily in the customers experience and that alone deserves a 5 star review. Me and my family will always support this amazing small Buisness.

The meat was cooked medium rare, if you don't like it cooked that way make sure you let them know. I really enjoyed the wings, they were well seasoned and give a decent portion. They also charge for extra ketchup which I've never experienced, understandable if it was ranch or some other special sauce but it wasn't. All the servers were polite, attentive and the place was clean and felt welcoming. They have a bar that I'll probably go to next time just for the drinks. I recommend to order their hazelnut espresso martini and the madre mía both drinks were amazing!

I reached out to Eric to cater mini mochi donuts for my wedding in March and his customer service was superb. He was so personable and friendly that I just wanted to order just because of that! I ended up ordering 5 dozen minis and everyone at my wedding LOVED them. So much that I didn't even get to have any myself during reception. What stands out the most about Mochata's donuts is that the flavor is actually IN the donut itself. Not just the icing that we're all used to. And the texture? Exactly the way a mochi should taste. Flavors? ON POINT!! The toppings are very generous, especially the Cookies N Cream and Mint Oreo. My absolute favorites are Coconut Pandan, Ube and Strawberries N Cream and my husband always goes for the Mint Oreo. I haven't tried all the flavors yet but I have no doubt that they all taste delicious. I also got myself a Thai Horchata drink. I never thought about combining the two flavors together and it was super good! Now I feel like I need to try every flavor of that as well.

The right amount of chewiness that I like in my mochi! The donuts have flavor infused into the dough as well as the glaze-- unlike other places where the glaze is the only part with flavor. I ordered strawberry, Thai tea and Ube. My kids loved them and so did the adults. I do wish the Thai tea and Ube tasted a little bit more like the flavor, but they were still yummy! Next time I'll have to try the horchata to go with it!
