    Got a full refund for mediocre product. Didn't feel right to just sweep this away. Good service, responsive, and timely, but be wary of stellar 5 star reviews.

    Custom vegan chocolate cake with mango filling and cashew coconut frosting
    Amber K.

    Mikka was lovely to work with! I was so happy with her beautiful custom cake recipes that worked for a group that consisted of a vegan, an egg allergy, and someone who was allergic to hazelnuts, pecans, and walnuts. She worked with me on what I wanted the design and flavors to be, and they came out amazing. Crowd pleasers all around, and gorgeous too!

    Very "rough" design of a very small overpriced cake. The design was simple. But she could not execute.

    We went to a small business to support and this cake place had good reviews. Unfortunately we were grossly overcharged for very small 10 inch cake. Our daughter turned 22 and wanted a marvel themed cake. We had to pay in full before even viewing it. My daughter is very kind and not one to comment negatively but she knew how much we were charged. A 10 inch cake for just under $300. Our daughter said it looked cute but "rough." I asked her to let me know how it tasted. She said it barely had any frosting and was very dry. I can understand upcharging for an artisan cake. We did not get a quality cake in design or taste. It looked homemade but not quality homemade. I don't understand why one would charge extremely high price when the skill set just isn't there. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

    Chocolate mousse cake for my friends graduating!

    Great service and amazing cake! She was very quick to answer and very accommodating with changes and recommendations to explore cake ideas! I ordered a chocolate mousse cake which was so rich in chocolate, moist, and bitter sweet!

    This was such a cool experience, and such an amazing result! I found Minx Cakes when searching for a keto cake for my husband's birthday. The process of ordering was so much fun (doing a phone call and designing the cake from scratch together), the delivery process was super smooth, and the end result was beautiful and delicious. I'm excited for the next one!!

    This has got to be the coolest freaking cake I have ever seen! Not only did the cake turn out amazing and everyone loved it, but it was also absolutely delicious! The ordering and communication was easy, and my order was not an easy one to handle. We have certain food, preferences and sensitivities, and she was able to work with every single one of them, as well as provided some substitutions I hadn't thought of. This two tiered cake turned out better than I could've hoped, and I would recommend her to anyone!

    Mikka made an awesome birthday cake for my 2 year old, taking into account all our crazy ideas - he couldn't decide between Peppa Pig, Elmo, and Thomas the Tank Engine so we literally asked for a cake with all three. 5 stars for creativity, service, and taste!

    Unicorn Cake vegan gf organic
    Amaya E.

    We had the most amazing cake ever for our daughters 2nd birthday! I had a lot of requirements; vegan, gluten free, all organic, coconut sugar sweetened cake, all natural food colorings... not only did Mikka meet all of these, but it was absolutely delicious and incredibly beautifully done! It was a small party so I ordered a small cake, however, I wish I had a whole extra cake just for leftovers, because we ate up every last bite Mikka was able to bring it down to the car when we picked it up which was extremely helpful!

    Vegan vanilla passion fruit cake
    Maria G.

    Mikka made me a vegan vanilla passion fruit cake for my birthday and it was absolutely amazing! Ordering on her website was so easy and picking up was a breeze. I ordered it on a Monday for pick up on Saturday and there were no issues at all. She is truly a professional at her craft!

    Anthony U.

    BOMB.COM!! Mikka is the absolute best! and her cakes are just incredible. who would've thought gluten free, dairy free healthy cakes could taste so good! Mikka truly is an artist and gives so much time attention and care to her cakes.

    Strawberry Cake
    Sharena L.

    I cannot believe I was able to find this place in such a short amount of time. I had a last minute party and needed to purchase a cake ASAP. I only had 3 days before the party. What made this hard was the fact that it needed to be vegan. I was emailing every bakery place I could find that was vegan near my area. There wasn't really much luck with too short of a notice. When I called this place, they told me they can make the cake within 3 days. Anxiety disappeared after they said yes. When they asked how I wanted to cake, I had absolutely no idea. I was more concerned about finding a cake rather than how it looks. The cake had to be a strawberry vanilla cake. She sent two photo reference photos and I choose one. When I got the cake, it looked EXACTLY like the photo she sent me. I was flabbergasted when I saw the cake. Honestly, I am so glad the other bakeries rejected me because the cake that Minx made for the party was delicious!!!! The cake was moist. The filling wasn't too sweet. The icing was the best icing I've ever had. I wish I purchased a larger cake but I guess that means I'll be coming back for more!

    Travis Z.

    Excellent work making a custom cake that had to be made of vegan ingredients. The Pulp Fiction movie theme of the cake was a hit, and the cake was delicious!

    Definitely order your cakes from here. We wanted something spooky and gory for Halloween and she took every one of our requests to heart while making the most delicious cake I've ever eaten. It was a chocolate tiramisu with whipped cream mascarpone and I'm still dreaming of it. Pick up was also extremely easy and timely. Thank you Mikka!

We walked into a space that feels designed for groups, with plenty of seating and a menu built around shareable desserts. The interior has a contemporary, stylish feel with comfortable seating arrangements that accommodate both small groups and larger parties, making it the type of place where you can come after dinner and spend time trying a few different things instead of just ordering one dessert. The energy is lively and social, with groups gathered around large dessert plates and the hum of conversation filling the room. The bingsu is the main attraction here, especially the mango sticky rice bingsu and volcano-style creations. We ordered the mango sticky rice version and found the shaved ice had that soft, fluffy texture that melts quickly, creating a light, refreshing base that absorbs the toppings well. The combination of sweet mango, coconut rice, and the fine ice created a nice balance of fruity sweetness and the familiar coconut flavor, and the toppings were generous enough that each bite felt complete. The volcano-style creations add a dramatic presentation, with toppings cascading over the ice and creating layers of texture and flavor that make the dessert feel more like an experience than just a bowl of ice. The crepe cakes are also worth trying, with lighter layers that make them easier to enjoy without feeling overly heavy, and the matcha and strawberry flavors stood out for their clean, well-balanced profiles. The portions are definitely on the larger side, so this is a better place to share. We found that splitting a few desserts across the table allowed us to try more of the menu without overcommitting, and the variety of options from bingsu to honey toast and lava-style desserts meant there was something for everyone. The honey toast is a fun choice if you want something warm and more indulgent, with a crisp exterior and a soft, buttery interior that pairs well with the ice cream and toppings. Some desserts can feel a little expensive depending on what you order, but the presentation and variety make it more of a dessert outing than a quick snack, and the quality of the ingredients is noticeable across the board. Service can be a little slower when it gets busy, especially later at night when the shop fills up, but the staff are generally friendly and the atmosphere makes it easy to wait. We noticed the team handling the steady flow with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal stayed comfortable even when the restaurant was full. The energy of the room remains social and relaxed, and the staff checked in at the right moments without rushing us through the meal. U:Dessert Story is a solid spot for creative Asian desserts, especially if you are going with friends and want to try a few different flavors together. The combination of shareable portions, thoughtful presentation, and a lively atmosphere makes it a destination for a more social dessert experience, offering a meal that feels both indulgent and communal. The variety across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the desserts keeps the experience feeling intentional and satisfying.

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

We were given water glasses and a pitcher and then left to look at the menu for a moment. The place was quite busy but it wasn't long before they came back to us. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to explain to us what she recommended (the mango sticky rice in the picture).

The hojicha had such a nice roasted tea flavor, the Hokkaido milk coffee was rich and smooth, and the pandan ube was probably one of the most fun flavors we tried during our trip. I loved that there were options here that you don't always see at a typical ice cream shop. This was such a great little accidental find during our 24 hours in San Francisco.

It's mooncake season, and the big day is 9/25/26! Yes, there's almost always a line, but don't let that discourage you--the staff definitely knows how to keep things interesting. You may get yelled at, screamed at, or told to "F off" if you decide not to buy. Somehow, it makes the wait even more intense and memorable!

Their freshly made bánh trung thu are incredibly delicious! The mooncakes are soft, smooth, delicate, and packed with flavorful mixed nuts, salty egg yolk, and winter melon, all wrapped in a soft, golden-brown crust. Every bite is heavenly! My personal favorite is #3 Ham Mixed Nuts. It's tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For the best experience, enjoy them while they're still warm--fresh out of the oven, they're even better! Cash only No seating inside No regular entrance--orders and pickups are done through the outside metal sliding gate. And be careful not to stick your face too close...you never know when that gate might come sliding toward you! If you're a mooncake lover, Golden Gate Bakery is definitely a must-visit in SF Chinatown. We highly recommend the mooncakes, but unfortunately, we can't give 5 stars because of the hostile customer-service environment. Delicious mooncakes Customer service Overall Worth the attitude for the mooncakes! Go NYU! Go Violets!
