That was perfectly delivered with the original crepe cake. I wanted the Pistachio, but I didn't plan well ahead. This one is popular. However, I was pleased to try the original as a gateway to Lady M cakes! It was fairly simple with light cream and inspired me to return to try another. They sell these delights by the slice also, and there's fancy candies in boxes against the wall also. Staff is friendly also. I missed that 12 noon window by a few minutes to having my order ready by my desired date. They took my phone call and put my order in. My order wasn't immediately found when I arrived but a bit of patience, and there it was. The inside of Lady M is also chic and classy with very white clean interiors- a great place to enjoy dessert.

I used to love this spot so much and have had cakes especially matcha cake for birthdays but it's disappointing how sweet it is

Decor set up has a nice calm set up that you literally relax and enjoy your drink in. Got a new spot.

Fun fact: Alyzée" is the name of the owner's daughter. It boasts marble counters, bistro-style tables, and outdoor seating on Castro Street to mimic the South of France. The owner recruited pastry chefs who relocated from France specifically for this endeavor. They also have monthly flavor, for example for May 2026: "Strawberry Bliss" cake. I totally recommend: mixed berry tart, coffee eclairs. The cakes and pastries are on the higher end price, perfect to surprise someone's birthday or special occasion or even to brighten your day with high quality artisan bakeries goods.

Everything was beautifully presented. The workers were friendly too! Their items were a bit pricey, but worth it for the quality. Their spiral croissants were so much better than Fancy Flavors. It was flaky, buttery, and filled with delicious pistachio cream. This spot is especially great for more traditional flavors. The Anton Hokkaido Milk Crepe Cake wasn't overly sweet and the cream was light and fluffy. It was perfectly up to my standards when it comes to sweetness. I'd definitely come back again even if I'm willing to hurt my wallet because the sweets are just too hard to resist.

I was also trying to adjust the sweetness of the drinks, but was told I can't adjust any sweetness because everything was pre-made, pre-mixed. The Amethyst (blueberry puree, blueberry cloud foam matcha) tasted mostly of milk. Jade (banana flavor) tasted like a banana milk. Chocolate croissant: flakey, rich chocolate chips inside. Microwaved it for about 10 seconds on my own, and it perfectly warmed and melted the chocolate! The vibes are very Mademoiselle Colette meets Alexander's Patisserie. Opens at 10, but the storefront wasn't fully open and ready until about 10:08 AM (side note if you're in a rush in the morning). Will I come back? Not for the matchas. Maybe for the pastries and desserts or regular coffee and the vibes.

A quick snack date with the wifey and we opted to grab a quick drink and snack. Mochi waffle (black sesame), and two drinks (Dalgona Coffee for the misses and Lychee Mojito for me). The waffle was outrageously good. Very crispy on the outside but very soft and chewy (mochi like) on the inside. I've had mochi donuts and waffles before and I've never had it quite like this. This was straight impressive. Wifey and I scarfed down the waffles. Must get, but also probably only really good when they're freshly made. As for the drinks, the Lychee Mojito was good. The tart was very refreshing and surprisingly strong. A bit sweeter than I'd like (I did opt for 25% sweetness). The Dalgona Coffee was good, wifey enjoyed it, but I felt like the coffee flavor wasn't strong enough. Overall, awesome place for some spectacular waffles. The drinks are worth a try as well. No seating inside or outside. Waffles will take 10-15 minutes (maybe longer if it's busy). So, be prepared to wait without sitting down. Small private lot.

Since moving closer to downtown Mountain View, I've been frequenting this location of Café 86, to…read morethe satisfaction of my soul and the mild disappointment of my wallet. They offer a variety of drinks, from lattes to milk teas to shakes. Some of my favorites include the Mocha Latte and Ube Milk Tea. The only disappointment was the Mermaid, but I'm not a green tea drinker so maybe it's just not my taste. The drinks lean sweet, so for those who prefer less sugar than me (i.e. most people), you should adjust accordingly. Meanwhile, the desserts are just as diverse and delicious. I enjoyed the Ube Cashew Brownie and Milo Cupcake, but would recommend the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake for your first visit. One trend across their offerings is the use of Filipino flavors like ube, Milo, and sweet corn. It makes them stand out in the crowded cafe & boba market. On the other aspects.. the store itself isn't too big but is well-decorated. There's not much seating so most will just order to-go. The service is usually quick so that's not an issue. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Café 86, as I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like.

In fact, there's a Chinese bakery quietly at the same block catering to a completely different clientele. As far as I am concerned, I will be happy with any of them. It's mostly about mood and is there anything specific that I am craving. We really came for brunch, I got the croissant burger and companion the smoke salmon toast. We both got Americano and a Yuzu pastry to share. All were superbly made and worth the pompous and prices. For those with big appetite, the portions probably won't sate your hunger. Of course, no one walks out of the door without some chocolates, they were beautifully crafted and decadent to the taste buds. Just not cheap. Well, you knew that already. Right?

Craftsman and Wolves is a killer crafts bakery that makes the perfect Kouign-amann. The shop does many things including a signature bread pudding, small in size but big in flava. Measures maybe two and a half inches diameter, an inch thick. Packs a wonderful wowie punch with the seasonally ripe berries and fruit, plus a few pieces of specialty chocolate. My friend who knows from excellent pastries says the goods at C and W are special because the sugars in each item are balanced, not excessive. The goodies we sampled together were scrumptious. Somehow even my pedestrian palate senses that these dessert thingies are distinctive and of ultra quality. Ambiance-wise, it's a noisy place with a few tables lining the windows. You are elbow to elbow practically against neighbouring tables. I know I heard every syllable of the conversation going on to my right-hand side. I also knew it was Korean, so I couldn't successfully eavesdrop... boooooo. Very unique metallic artsy fashioned chairs make the space seem modern. There's merch in the corner and on a wall. You can get coffee drinks too. Service is excellent: the majestically tall staffer -- who I thought was manager but isn't -- was the kindest friendliest soul, very pleasant to chat with. Craftsman crew were mad busy, but always with smiles and ready to help customers. You won't find any bakery bites that are not delectable at Craftsman and Wolves. Kool yummy easy five stars.

Kouign amann actually fell short for me. It's too flaky and lack of the dough-y texture; and theres only sugar coated outside rather than caramerlized layers of sugar in better the lamination. There are also lots of sandwiches options Coffee is also good hence we come back for more. I would skip the matcha latte if you're a matcha snoob. Price is bit high for pastries. I would definitely take friends and family here for the wide option of pastries and sandwiches !

Currently they're featuring chai drinks; I haven't seen anyone else with a Cookie Butter Chai. And even with the variety, the baseline quality is pretty high. The sugar is usually just right, and I'm satisfied with the tea & coffee. Having said this, if you have specific preferences, then Teaspoon is unlikely to be the "best" option for any one. Teaspoon have been experimenting with some snacks too. I only tried the Waffle Dipper, and it was enjoyable with the Sea Salt Foam to contrast the sweetness. I'd like to try the Bites and Mochi Donuts in the future. This particular location only has outdoor seating, but the interior is sufficient for ordering & waiting. The service is generally good too. There was one day where they had a mishap with their fridge, meaning a bunch of menu items were unavailable, but they were able to manage the situation without too much customer dissatisfaction.
