    Just a quick update on trying a new cake flavor. Passion fruit guava strawberry is not my cup of tea. Too much cream and a tad too sweet for me. Service and delivery is consistently good. I still like the black sesame blueberry hojicha the most.

    We loved their lychee strawberry cake! The cake was made with fresh ingredients, delicious and very soft.

    This second order a year later, poor text choice and the text is partially hidden by decor.
    Joanne H.

    My initial ordering experience was great with MCourse, but a year later was not so great. We had a 5 star experience last year for our pups birthday, the packaging and flavors were absolutely spot on. Along with the key reason we ordered-- having a customizable topper. Now, more recently my second not so much. I know I asked for an earlier pickup but would have just appreciated the communication earlier about the topper. Her printer broke down and was unable to print the image on the cupcake-- which was a big part of the celebration for our friend. That's understandable but she did not ask any follow-up questions on the text printing for a topper or give an option for design, to say the least it is disappointing. I wish there was a better font and design choice for the topper esp with the last minute change. Some of the font is covered. She did refund the cost which was appreciated, but I'd rather pay more to have the right topper request or some other options. We had a 5 star experience last year, so just adjusting down a star given the printer mishap. Pickup was smooth.

    Galaxy themed strawberry shortcake buttercream cake
    Nicole G.

    I found M Course through Yelp, since I was searching for a place that offers vegan and gluten free desserts since some of our party guests have allergies. I decided to reach out for a quote for a customized frosting strawberry shortcake buttercream cake and their ube ube vegan and gluten free cupcakes. Megan was easy to work with and responded within a few days after I sent my request. I sent photos of the color scheme/party theme I was going for for the cake and included that I would need delivery. We sent some emails back and forth confirming the details, delivery timeframe, etc. She accepts payment via Paypal, Zelle, and Venmo. Her payment details are in her email signature. She offers delivery service (price may depend on how far you are; it was $10 for me), or local pick up at 10am or 3pm. Her cake prices are reasonable compared to many other places I've gotten quotes from. Come the day of the party -- I received a text message that the cake and cupcakes were dropped off at the venue. The cake and cupcakes were delivered without any issues. Everyone enjoyed both the cake and cupcakes! The cakes were moist and not too sweet! I am so glad I found M Course through Yelp and look forward to working with them again for any future events!

    Hojicha black sesame blueberry regular 6" fresh cream cake
    Yuki K.

    Few places offer cakes with black sesame (which my mom loves) as a component and I'm so glad I found this by accident because the hojicha cake with black sesame and blueberry that I ordered was phenomenal! The flavors go surprisingly well together. The cake itself was dense and a little more moist but solid, and each of the flavors shone through clearly. We will definitely be purchasing the other unique flavors to try out in the future. I hope they continue baking these wonderful treats! As for ordering - I contacted them through the website about picking up a cake on a specific date and received an email with instructions and pickup options (10 am or 3 pm at a specific location). Payment can be sent through Zelle, Venmo, or Paypal 2-5 days in advance, and pickup was very smooth as well - I was sent a reminder an hour before and the make/model of the car they'd be arriving in and could provide my info as well so they'd locate me easily. I got there earlier and they basically just parked and handed me the cake quickly!

    Ube Cookies and Cream.
    Tram N.

    I put in an inquiry on the cream puffs since I read such great reviews on them, but sadly they are not being offered anymore. My request was responded to the very next day. Their website had all pertinent information such as size, price, flavor, product such as fresh cream cakes, buttercream cakes, and cupcakes. If you have dietary restrictions such as gluten-free or if you want your dessert egg-less, they can make it happen. I don't know if I've tried ube but I know my sister likes it very much. Her birthday was yesterday but had plans so I ordered for pickup today so I can drop it off for her. There are 2 pickup time slots. They will wait approx. 15 min. before driving off. I was late because I got the time mixed up. I was able to contact them via email and was so grateful it was responded to right away. They were able to return w/in 20 min. otherwise I could would have needed to opted for the 3PM pickup window. They were so sweet, and I felt so bad for being 5 min. late. I got to the pickup location at 10:19AM. The pickup time is at 10AM. Though I did not get to try the cake, the cake itself was beautiful and carefully packaged. My sister and my mom complimented the cake for not being too sweet. It was light, too. It looked really delicious. I will have to wait till they offer all chocolate buttercream cakes or all chocolate fresh cream cakes. I am not a fruit person, but I was so glad that I was able to find this place on Yelp. Thanks to my Yelp friends for the wonderful reviews otherwise I would have passed on it. Thank you, Mia and Megan!!! I'm sorry again for having you turn around today.

    Pandan mango 8 inches
    Christine A.

    I love the Pandan Mango cake! I ordered the 8 inch to congratulate my boyfriend and was able the order the day before. Everyone enjoyed it! To order you go on the website and email them your info and they will get back to you shortly. But I would advise to order in advance just so you can get a time slot for pick up! Overall, great service and cake was moist and flavorful, it was not too sweet which is something I look for in cake but flavorful!

    Valentines special strawberry chocolate cake
    Carolyn M.

    The two ladies who run this shop are so sweet (hah!) The 6 inch cakes are super tall and more filling than I expect, so it usually feeds our party of 6-8 just fine and with leftovers! The cakes are delicious, with my only complaint being that sometimes they're just a tad too sweet, usually due to the fruit curd/jam, or a little too rich like with the chocolate cake, but that might be a personal preference. I'm rounding up from a 4.5 to a 5 because the order/pickup process as well as the presentation of the cake is just so easy. You submit an order on their website, they email you back pretty promptly with questions and an invoice, you confirm your pickup time, pay, and then you go pick it up at the location they specify in their email! It's a park with decent amount of parking but you're in and out quick. Would definitely order again!

    Bourbon pecan mini pie
    Kat C.

    Light and delicious! I first ordered a bunch of mini cupcakes for my daughters' 100 day celebration and loved their guava flavor the most. Very moist, fruity, light, and the perfect bites. They have seasonal specials for a very limited time. This year for thanksgiving, they made the cutest mini pies that I couldn't resist or miss! They were actually pretty big. Order of sweetness by my palate: Banana cream pie with toffee and caramel -- thought this was super light, even the banana flavor. The crunchy topping was a nice touch! Pumpkin pie -- also not sweet at all. Cheesecake -- lightly sweet and creamy Bourbon pecan pie -- definitely the sweetest (too sweet for me) Pickup was a breeze. They set a pick up time and wait 15 min max for you. Will order again!

    Mango Coconut Pandan and Burnt Almond

    Hands down the best cupcakes in all the Bay Area!! Owner and operator is super friendly. Would recommend for any occasion, small or large event. Mcourse

    black sesame blueberry, early grey strawberry, pandan mango, burnt almond mini cupcakes
    Amanda L.

    Overall: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 I ordered 4 dozen mini cupcakes for a small event i was hosting and got so many compliments about how delicious the cupcakes were! I picked the mini cupcakes which was a perfect 2-bite dessert! I also love how the flavors are unique, cupcake had filling inside, and it wasn't too sweet. The communication was mainly done via email and on the day of pick up, they did a text reminder and arrived on time to the meet up location. Would order from them again! What I Ordered & Price: (1) Dz MINI earl grey strawberry butterfly pea cupcakes: $40 (1) Dz MINI lychee raspberry rose cupcakes: $40 (1) Dz MINI burnt almond cupcakes: $40 (1) Dz MINI pandan mango coconut cupcakes: $40

    I've had 3 birthday cakes from MCourse. They make my fave cakes and will continue to order for all my bdays! I've gotten a matcha strawberry black sesame ( sad they don't have that anymore), a passion fruit guava, and an Earl grey one. I actually don't enjoy other cakes from anywhere else.

    Black sesame with strawberry compote and matcha frosting
    Ivy L.

    Ordered a Sesame Cake with Strawberry Compote and Matcha Cream Frosting and it was delicious! I had so much trouble deciding on which cake to order for my brother's birthday since I had a short turnaround after the other place couldn't fulfill my order anymore on Lunar New Year weekend. I wanted to support a small, local bakery since it was for my brother's 30th birthday and wanted something special for it. I found MCourse through Yelp and was intrigued by their unique flavors. I had so much trouble deciding on which one but ultimately ended with the Sesame one since my brother enjoys those flavors. The cake got the a lot of compliments--it's the right amount of sweetness, flavors are good together, the cake looks pretty, where did you get it from?, and so on! The communication was pretty seamless with Megan and Mia communicating and they confirmed on the day of pick up. I would overall give it a 4.5 but decided to go down to 4 stars because the texture is pretty crumbly and hard to cut/eat, I prefer cakes to be more moist and fluffy so not the best cake I've ever had but still really good. FYI, they don't customize the message and only offer generic ones like, "Happy Birthday."

    Ask the Community - MCourse

    How long does it take to respond to your online order?

    They should respond within 2-3 days but most definitely by Wednesday if you order for the same week.

    Is this a pastries shop or a house? I drove to locations and I ended up in a neighborhood.

    They don't have an actual store and only accept preorders for their cakes and cupcakes. There is the option of pick up at a meeting place (address will be provided upon electronic payment) or delivery for a fee.

    Are cream puffs no longer sold?

    That is correct! We no longer have cream puffs.

    Are you open?

    I went today and found out they are closed for a while

    We came to the shop around 11:30 a.m. on August 23rd…read more When we arrived there were two patrons outside enjoying their coffee and pastry and another set of patrons inside a little girl with their dad having a little tea party. I will say that walking in the space is elegant is the word I would like to use but also inviting with the little extras that they do at the table with the fresh flowers the soft chairs the colorful decor that surrounds it. Also the two individuals behind the counter that were taking orders and packaging things were just a delight. Both of them greeted us with a smile and they asked us if it was our first time to the shop and we told them yes and so they walked us through some of the more popular items and how are things were broken down and that was very much appreciated cuz there are many many options in front of you in unless you know exactly what you want you can be looking at everything for a couple of minutes before you decide on even one thing. We ended up getting a regular latte and a rose latte for our drinks. And then as a little delicious taste of something we got the chocolate croissant and the almond croissant. I am going to comment on my rose latte first that thing was beautifully made because though it was sweet but in a way that wasn't overpowering because you could still taste a little bit of the caffeine the creaminess of the milk that was used and the espresso it was like a hint in the background so a little call out there if you're someone that really wants to taste their coffee this wasn't the jam for you and that's okay my husband got the regular latte with steamed milk and I tasted his and that was like coffee in your face so you can always go for a solid twist like that. And to clarify his latte was also very good because it just tasted so fresh and of high quality. Now for the pastries. They were stupendous because they had the right amount of flakiness but softness. They also were buttery but not overly so were like major hands feel greasy it was so savory both of them which is interesting because the fillings one was chocolate one was almond I would have thought that both of them would have had an overpowering sweetness to them. We will say that we both liked the almond croissant more not that the chocolate one wasn't just as good. The almond had a little bit of a 1up because I don't know how to explain it it's almost like it had a almond crumble at the top so you bit into the pastry which was fluffy but you had the crunch on the top then you had a little bit of the almond filling and then you had the butter and like the soft but almost chewiness of the inside of the layers just stupendous all of that together was great. If we end up ever being in that area again will definitely want to go back to try the rest of the stuff they had because I want to know how everything else takes especially those beautiful cakes that were just art themselves

    I'm ok paying premium prices for quality cake. Unfortunately Marvel did not leave up to the hype…read more $85 for a tiny cake. The cream on the outside was hard and waxy. The cake itself was dense, crumbly and soggy (like tres leches).

There's a number of tables outside for you to enjoy your ice cream. We got the Dole whip and black raspberry. The Dole whip tastes like the real thing! Really refreshing and enriched with pineapple flavor, super airy, light, and easy to go down. And the height of the swirl is perfect. The black raspberry is tangy, making the ice cream less sweet than usual, which I enjoyed. It was creamy and rich, good contrast to the airiness of the Dole whip. Will 100% be back!

    You would think because I live 2 miles from Campbell Creamery and go to church "for the last 12…read moreyears" just a 5 minute walk away that I would be a regular here and not my 1st time in. lol. Anyway I finally stopped in. Outside they have a hand written a sign with a list of 36 different flavors of which I sampled 2 (the Mango & strawberry cheesecake) the mango honestly did not taste like mango at all so I ended up getting the strawberry cheesecake and cookie dough. The ice cream is definitely a good quality as it is very creamy and dense, i'm talking gelato dense. Unfortunately the strawberry cheesecake had a "been in the freezer to long taste" maybe not too many people order it but still it's not an experience you want in your mouth when you are paying a premium price for a scoop of ice cream. The cookie dough was good and had a lot of chunks of cookie dough. The service is good but not what I would call outstanding "like someone is glad to see you, if you get my drift" the inside looks a bit outdated and could use a freshening up. Honestly overall experience for me kind of laid flat 2.5 max, aka mediocre.
