Picked up a birthday cake for my boss that a client ordered for him. It was a ginormous lemon cake…read morethat took us over a week to finish! Denise was very sweet! I called her ahead of time to make sure that the cake was ready to pick up, and since I was driving through traffic, unsure if I could make it before closing time, she totally understood. Once I picked up the cake, she instructed to me to let the cake thaw for at least 1 hour after taking it out of the fridge so that it will be soft and not crumbly. She also gave me advice on transporting it in my car. Max's Cakes is also an adorable bakery! All the Valentine's Day decorations were super cute! Very convenient location in downtown Hayward.

It's definitely Asian style and not too sweet. Cake is fluffy and soft. The bow tie and butterflies are edible and not too sweet! Tastes like marshmallow. The cream on the cake is delicious too. Definitely recommend, and realize it's not going to be sweet like American cake!

Wow, wow, wow!!!! Liana's really takes the cake! (of course, pun intended)…read more Today, we celebrated my Uncle's 60th with a wonderful cake created by Liana. She is uniquely creative and bakes a wonderful tasting cake....at first you worry the cake may look pretty but how does it taste? Well, she hit the mark on both...i requested a white cake with strawberries which was moist and not too sweet accompanied with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. The fondant is something most people don't eat but it was thinly layered and obviously not bad...as i didn't see any left on the plate. If you want an ordinary cake, go to Costco...Liana definitely brought the WOW factor to the party. She is easy to work with which is all done via email to ensure everything is clear. I came up with a concept and she was able to incorporate that into cake which was so detailed. So whatever your creative mind can think of, I'm positive Liana's can do it! Thanks so much for making my uncle's bday special!

I will be getting married later this year, and wanted to do a cake tasting of Liana's cakes. A…read moreSmall "6" inch cake was $20 which was really worth it, and this is how Liana does cake tastings for weddings. I choose Chocolate cake with raspberry filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. The cake was very fresh and super delicious. It was also moist, and the filling was so good with the chocolate. My Fiancé also loved it, and it wasn't too sweet it was just perfect. I could have ate the whole cake but I decided to share with my Fiancé family , which my future mother in law really loved it also. Liana does an amazing job!! I absolutely would refer her to anyone looking for a delicious and beautiful cake inside and out =)

On the way there, he cut through farmer's market and picked up two cheesecakes for me and my little one. OMG, it was delicious and my little one was delighted. If he doesn't like something, he will quickly eat it and finish real quick. But this cheesecake, he has taken his time to savor the flavor. And I don't usually let him lick the container but this time I did. He was really happy and content. I loved mine as well. When I visit my son next time, this will be my first stop to pick up this delightful treat. Two thumbs up!!

Small hole in a wall spot that sells freshly made Korean rice cakes. They usually cater to larger…read moreorders and whatever leftovers they have from that, they sell to the general public. I called here a couple times and the lady who answered spoke limited English. I came here on a weekday morning around 8AM which is the time they listed as open. The door was locked, so I had to call to let the lady know I was there. Still confusion, so I just rang the doorbell at the front and she let me in. The rice cakes are around $8 and were super fresh/warm when I bought them. I tried the red bean one (tasted more savory), the plain rice cakes (ended up being my favorite given the very very subtle sweetness and chewy texture), and the peanut one. It's mostly just a kitchen spot and no other displays available. Would love to come back and try their black sesame ones!

We ordered rice cake here to celebrate our twins' 100-Day. I knew this was a mom and pop shop and…read morethere was no menu that I could find anywhere, so we went in to talk to the shop owner about our options. We were a little surprised when we walked in. There were no displays to speak of. It felt like walking directly into the kitchen, with commercial equipment all around. There was a single lady sitting at the front distributing pre-ordered trays. Even though she spoke fluent English, I don't think I would have been able to order without my Korean husband. There really is no menu and for someone that is not Korean like me and may need some more handholding in terms of what rice cakes there are and what is in them, there was quite a barrier to entry. For her part, the lady tried her best to be helpful, even pulling out pictures on her iPhone to show me the different types of rice cakes. The minimum quantity for pre-order is 10lb trays. There isn't an option to mix and match rice cakes, you have to order 10lbs of each one that you want. In the end, we opted for gyeondan (rice cake balls covered in assorted bean or sesame powder) so that there could be some variety in the tray. If you don't want 10lbs (understandable), you can call in to see what types of rice cakes other people have pre-ordered that day, and they can make a few extra for you. To my understanding, you can't reserve this, it is first come first serve. The cost is dependent on what type of rice cake you order, but ranges from $90-100ish per tray. The gyeondan were so delicious! You could tell the rice cake was made fresh because it was so soft and chewy. The red bean paste inside was subtlely sweet. My husband's favorite flavor was the black sesame and mine was the mung bean. We also saved the injeolmi powder to put on vanilla ice cream YUM. We can't decide if the reddish/brown powder was red bean powder or cinnamon, but it was also very good. The lady was also kind enough to throw in a few complimentary baekseoulgi for us. It had a slightly salty forward flavor that was followed by a light sweetness. So good! I would highly recommend JR Bakery for your traditional rice cake needs, especially for big parties. You have to eat the rice cakes quick or freeze them if you're not going to eat them immediately as they will go stale and harden...or grow mold.

The first thing that stands out here is the service--the staff is always welcoming, fast, and patient, even when the line starts backing up out the door. The ice cream is always fresh, and unlike some other dessert spots, they are definitely not skimpy with the portions or the mix-ins. You get exactly what you pay for. Tip for parking: The parking lot right on Mission Blvd can get a little tight during peak weekend evening rushes, so just keep that in mind if you're hitting them up after dinner. Solid 4-star spot that never disappoints the family!

Stopped in on a summer night…read more I sign up for the rewards and I have an offer on my rewards account "BOGO" I was purchasing a "like it size" the reward states as written buy 1 like it or love it size and get one FREE of equal or lesser value. Clearly it states that I would receive a free "like it" should I want to use my reward. Buy ONE get ONE So why am I at the register with a clear reward on my app purchasing a "like it size" and everyone is confused. To make matters even more interesting now I have 3 staff members telling me I have to buy 2. ?!? Clearly the staff will need to review reward benefits. One gal, thought I was trying to argue and tried to tell me about "opinions" LOL if you READ you will see there is a clear reward and it applies to my purchase it's not a matter of opinion. But here is my opinion don't crowd me number 1. Number 2. READ the reward it made all the sense and didn't call for 3 people to crowd me for a simple bogo. I will leave on a positive the staff were moving the line until the hiccup.

Hands down they have the best drinks, cookies, macarons, cakes, and now salt bread! I always come to get treats for my kid's teachers (for their birthdays, teacher appreciation week, just because, etc.).

We love supporting small businesses and this one is definitely worth supporting! P.S. with all these drink places popping up in the area...we still think the drinks at Always Yours not only taste better, but also are of higher quality.

Get the butter toffee cookie because it is so delicious!…read more The store is very clean, plenty of seating to enjoy your sweet treat. Order the ube cheesecake, butter toffee cookie, and a assam milk tea with boba. The order came out quickly. Ube Japanese cheesecake is tasty, not too much ube taste. It is super light and moist, love how it is not too sweet. For the assam milk tea, I prefer it with more tea flavor. The drink was ok, the matcha drinks look better. The butter toffee cookie was the best, it was flavorful, the toffee has added toasted nutty flavor with some sugar. I would get a box full. Overall, has a great variety of baked goods.
