    Mini 4' vanilla bean cake with Swiss meringue buttercream marble and strawberry mouse filling

    We ordered a mini 4' cake for a friend it was absolutely amazing. I sent Mara some design inspirations and what flavor of cake we wanted, and she exceeded beyond my expectation. The design was absolutely beautiful and we loved the flowers on top of the cake. Also, the cake tasted absolutely delicious and the flavors worked so well together. Mara was incredibly easy to work with and I would highly recommend ordering from her.

    I contacted Mara super last minuet for a surprise birthday delivery. (24hrs before) I looked at a few locations online but didn't do custom letters on the cupcakes and the delivery was super expensive so I wanted to find something in the Torrance area since the delivery location was in Torrance. Mara responded straight away , told her what I wanted and when I needed it by and she got everything done. I live overseas so I paid her by PayPal and she contacted me once she delivered the cupcakes. Super easy to work with efficient and very professional not to mention the cakes were beautiful my friend loved it. Definitely go back to her for next time!

    Delicious wedding cake

    We ordered a small wedding cake for a relative--the design was absolutely beautiful. Presentation is everything, so we especially appreciated how delicately the fresh roses were placed and how pristine it looked when she delivered it herself. But what really blew me away was the taste! The cake was so delicious and flavorful without being overwhelming, everyone absolutely loved it. I'm so glad we went with Mara and would definitely recommend.

    Raspberry lemon curd baby shower cake

    This was my first time ordering from Minis by Mara and I was very happy with the cake. I ordered a baby shower cake for my sister in law. I spoke to Mara about the theme and told her what we wanted. She sent me a design we loved and the cake turned out absolutely beautiful! The flavor was raspberry lemon curd and was delicious!

    Gorgeous spooky set up for our Halloween themed wedding!

    Tasty ice cream next to some even better views nearby…read more Went to grab some ice cream before checking out some sunset views. You can do a split scoop and they allow for samples. Staff were pleasant and patient as we decided what to get. Ended up getting the mint n chip and pistachio. Both flavors had a natural taste to it, which was definitely appreciated compared to the typical artificial tastes. On the other side of the street you have some pretty cool views - so one stop for both dessert and a sunset. Would come back!

    Gelato! This shop is located in the Golden Cove Center. I've been meaning to visit for a while…read morenow, but finally came in. They have an A rating, and the place looks clean. Staff came out as soon as I walked in, and the doorway bell rang. Interior has three small round tables and wooden stools with counter along the window. Exterior has a couple large square metal tables with chairs. Those look like they're shared with the other businesses in the shopping center. So many flavors to choose from, and they all look good. I ordered an Affogato with a vanilla bean gelato and a small scoop of the Chai tea latte gelato. The Affogato was served in a small plastic cup with plastic spoon. The small scoop of gelato was served in a small paper cup with an even smaller plastic spoon. Both were delicious. The consistency of the gelato is smooth, as expected. Service was friendly and efficient. My order was ready and I was rung up in minutes. Parking: Free, shared shopping center.

    Tucked away in the mall almost like a gem in the rough. Those that love gelato craftsmenship made…read morewith care and charm, this is it. Open your mind (or tongue) and try the different options! Great for couples, family, and friend. If you have a foodie friend who doesn't judge on exterior but rather the taste, this is a worthy spot. The lady helping us allowed us to try different options until we landed on Thai tea, almond amaretto, riceberry horchata on The Special (3 flavors) on a waffle bowl. It was placed on coconut sticky rice. At first I raised my eyebrows but when I tried it, I was blown away how GREAT of combo this is! 5/5 I would go out of my way to try this. What I also love about this is that it isn't sweet like typical dairy icecream but just sweet enough like the true gelatos you have in Italy. You must at least try this with the waffle bowl - it was quite the delight. The portion is big and you'll be surprisingly full. The special (3 flavors) is best for 2-3 people (regular serving). If you're going to eat this by yourself I'd just get 1 serving or the gelato cup. Restroom? No Seating? No

    Tried Moom Maam at Smorgasburg Los Angeles at ROW DTLA, the big Sunday pop-up food event downtown…read more The event itself was pretty cool, although a few of the vendors I was hoping to try apparently didn't show up that day. Luckily this was one of the stands that had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Between the language barrier and my excitement for dessert, I somehow ended up ordering more than I planned. The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it. Half the fun of these food events is randomly discovering stuff you normally wouldn't eat anyway. I'd probably check out their Torrance brick-and-mortar location sometime and give them another shot.

    I initially gave this spot a lower rating last year because my drinks felt watered down, but I'm so…read moreglad I gave them another chance. I came by recently with some friends after dance class and we were all impressed. I tried the Biscoff Matcha Latte and it was fantastic. You can tell they use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha. The flavor is spot on. It's rare to find that level of quality in a specialty latte, and I'm definitely coming back just for that drink. I'm looking forward to trying their other matcha options next time! Also need to try their desserts.

    Review #998 2026-068…read more Lychee Berry with Crystal Boba $6.58 Large Strawberry Mochi Shaved Ice (served w/strawberry bunny jello, mochi, fresh strawberry, house special strawberry puree) $11.71 Formerly Get Shaved, Boba Bunny Coffee & Tea takes over with a stylish pink-themed dining space & IG-worthy shaved ice with cute jiggly animal jellos. The boba shop is located on the northwest corner next to Dentist of Old Torrance with plenty of parking. The shop's dining space is mostly of 2-tops that can be adjusted to seat larger groups, with a unisex restroom is in the back. There's a corner to the right of the entrance with a Boba Bunny neon sign & powder blue scooter that's great for taking pics! I first learned of the shop via Toast last year when they offer a $2.00 birthday treat. My son has tried most of the local boba shops so I wanted to see how this ranks on his list. The menu is pretty extensive for its size with: fresh fruit teas, blended fruit/smoothies, fruit yogurt, fruit mocktails, premium milk teas, pure teas, cheesy bunny teas, tea lattes, ice milks, coffees, toppings ice creams, build your own (bubble) waffle, bubble waffle combo, churros, shaved ice, hot sandwiches/paninis, toasts, croissants, rice bowls, salads, munchies, add-ones... whew! There's also collectible boba bear bottles that's refillable; I don't think the refillable bottle is more than their large drinks unlike some other shops with refill options. Stopping by on a late Saturday morning, it was quiet. It took a few minutes to peruse their menu & I had a few questions since the electronic menu & kiosk didn't have a description of the ingredients. I ordered Lychee Berry with Crystal Boba, & M picked a large Strawberry Mochi Shaved Ice. It took a few minutes before my order was ready. I liked the Lychee Berry... it has a floral & sweet tart taste from the lychees & strawberries, with a moderate serving of crystal boba. The shaved ice was definitely IG-worthy! It's piled high with ice fluff & topped with fresh strawberries, mochis, & a strawberry bunny jello; their house special strawberry purée, a bit too sweet for my liking, is set aside to prevent diluting the shaved ice. The mochi is colored, but it doesn't taste flavored or fresh (in-house) made; fresh as in chewy & pillowy like a marshmallow. The jiggly bunny makes a fun pic (see videos)! M thought it was funny to tap its behind, & we had it angled so that it looks like it's eating a pink mochi. Hehehe... While it's creative to a certain extent & tasty, the menu is on the expensive side for the serving size. Service was positive since we were the only customers, though slow due to the order execution process. Alas, the location is not quite marketable even though there's high traffic from Ralph's. It's the same owner, rebranding the Boba Bunny to Phin Coffee a couple of months ago after 2 years as a boba shop, which makes sense since there was a special run 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM with a 20% discount on coffee & matcha before the transition.
