    Loved it ! Inside and out
    Cherry C.

    I was so happy with the cake Ruth made! I was having a surprise 50th Birthday Party for My husband . I wanted this funny toilet paper cake . I showed her a picture and it turned out even better than the picture ! I was so pleased the cake tasted as good as it looked! I tried the marble with vanilla mousse . My husband likes simple flavors so I didn't get to try some of the other special flavors Ruth makes . After this I will be trying something else ! Thank you Ruth for doing such a great job!!

    We celebrated our BFFs' birthday party with a tea! we dressed up for the occasion and we were all surprised at how dainty the set up was... the host, Ruth, was very warm and accommodating and has carefully selected and prepared each food and drink by herself... everything beautifully presented but also very tasty! We are all very pleased... and full LOL...

    DELICIOUS CAKE POPS! Ruth's cake pop is rich and is of high quality! We ordered 9 dozen for $42/dozen since they were customized for our wedding 5*12*19. I emailed her and she was very informative and replied as soon as she's able to. She's also very friendly.

    I can't say enough nice things about Ruth. My family and I flew into Vegas from Fresno for a surprise 60th birthday for my mom. I expressed to Ruth just how important this dinner was and she went above and beyond to perform. She made the cake BETTER then the image provided,.. and she also delivered the cake with more then enough time in advance to the restaurant. I truly can't thank Ruth enough for her hard work. Not only was the cake gorgeous, it was Delicious.

    We had both a cake and cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday, and everything was delicious. They were light and tasty, but not too sweet. To us and our guests, everything was perfect. We would definitely order from here again.

    Ruth makes deliciously amazing cakes! It is the best in Vegas! I would recommend to anyone, specially the Ube cake!

    Found them on Instagram after seeing a pic of their silvanas! I had to try them right away so I DM'd Ruth and she made the order process sooo easy! I picked them up the next day and got a dozen assorted silvanas (matcha, cookies and cream, original, ube, mocha, and chocolate) I will definitely be ordering more from her!

    Very pleased with the services provided by Need For Sweets! We requested services for your baby's first birthday, and were not disappointed! From the beginning Ruth was very informative and made sure we understood our options available! She made sure she understood what it was we requested! We ordered this beautiful two layered cake, with last minute orders of cake pops! Both were absolutely delicious, moist, and flavorful! Would highly recommend her services and would be a returning client!

    I randomly found this wonderful local baker through yelp and she was amazing. I ordered cake pops as our wedding favour and it was the best I've had. Not too sweet and super moist. She even helped me wrap it nicely and add the sticker label on it which saved me time on the wedding day. The cake I ordered was a vanilla cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Again, it was perfect. Everyone loved it! She even made taster samples for us before we placed the order. I definitely recommend her for any of your special events!

    Ruth made our cake exactly as we wanted it....and we made all the arrangements strictly via texts and emails. She also made us heart-shaped leche flan, as a custom request. The merengue and silvanas were a huge hit. Her dessert creations for our special event are not only delicious, they're also gorgeous.

    Ruth was so nice and her work was amazing!! My daughters birthday cake was everything I imagined it to be. I told Ruth exactly what I would like on it and she brought it to life! Everyone at our party kept saying how yummy the cake was and how beautiful the design was. I couldn't agree more! HIGHLY recommend!

    Moving from Cali to LV meant leaving behind all the good bakeries we ordered cakes and desserts from. And it's usually a hit or miss when it comes to finding a good cake shop/cake maker. While I was planning for my daughter's birthday party, I came across needforsweetsLV on instagram, so I messaged Ruth. She was so patient with me since I had to change a couple things I ordered but she was accommodating. I ordered ube cake, meringue cookies, chocolate raspberry tartlets and fruit tarts for my daughter's birthday. I'm so glad I found her on Instagram! The Ube cake was amazing! I showed her the picture of what I wanted it to look like and it looked beautiful and it tasted soooo good! Everyone at my daughter's party loved it, even the ones who have never heard of or tried "ube." She made it perfectly moist and the level of sweetness is just right. I just love how the desserts she made weren't too sweet. They're the kind of desserts that you won't get tired of easily because of the sweetness. I can't say enough good things, you just have to try what she makes! I also ordered some silvana cookies and I can't wait to try those!!! We will definitely order more goodies from her.

    Ruth is amazing! I've used her twice for cakes and they have both come out perfectly and exactly like I asked. Not to mention they are absolutely delicious! She is always nice and, although I unfortunately have not been able to meet her yet, both people I've had pick up the cakes have said she is a complete sweetheart. I will definitely continue choosing Ruth for my cake needs!

    I've been coming to Suzuya Patisserie for years. There was a time when I came almost every week,…read moreand whenever my friends had birthdays, I would preorder their cakes here because I genuinely love the quality of the desserts. My family and I have supported Suzuya since the very beginning, when the first location opened on Durango. We've watched the business grow over the years, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, today's visit was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had. I ordered a breakfast crepe, a curry cheese sandwich, a mango mochi, and a whole cake. The breakfast items were served without any fork or knife. When I asked for utensils, there was no effort to provide them. The mango mochi was also served without utensils. When I politely asked the staff member wearing the mask for a fork, she simply replied, "You don't need utensils." That response honestly surprised me. Mango mochi is sticky and messy to eat by hand. It wasn't about the fork itself--it was the complete lack of willingness to provide even the most basic customer service. The bigger issue was when I purchased a birthday cake for a friend. I was told there were no bags available for a 6-inch cake. However, I saw other customers receiving bags. I even asked, "If I buy two more cakes, making it three cakes total, would you be able to give me a bag? I only have two hands." The answer was still no. That response simply made no sense. What made the experience even more upsetting was how I was treated because I had my service dog with me. My dog is a professionally trained service dog--not a pet. He remained calm throughout the entire visit. He never barked, never approached anyone, never disturbed other customers, and simply laid quietly beside me. Despite that, I was questioned about whether he was a service dog, whether he had a service vest, and then told that because I had my service dog with me, we would have to sit outside. I found this extremely disappointing. My dog was behaving exactly as a trained service dog should, yet I was still directed outside solely because he was with me. I sincerely hope the staff receive proper training on how to respectfully interact with customers who rely on service animals. Every customer deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. After being directed outside because of my service dog and then repeatedly being refused basic accommodations that should have been simple to provide, it became difficult not to question whether my service dog influenced the way I was treated. I truly hope that wasn't the case, but it certainly felt that way. This isn't just my opinion anymore. Many friends have shared the same experience with me over the years: the cakes are excellent, but the customer service is consistently disappointing. People return because the desserts are amazing--not because of the hospitality. Sadly, it often feels like there's no warmth or genuine care for customers. I've always heard wonderful things about Mike, and from what I've seen, he seems like a genuinely kind person. I can't help but wonder how he would feel if he knew loyal customers were leaving with experiences like this. I'm usually not someone who complains or leaves negative reviews. It takes a lot for me to write something like this. But after years of supporting this business, I believe this experience needed to be shared. Suzuya truly makes fantastic desserts, and that's exactly why this review is so disappointing for me to write. Great products should never be an excuse for poor customer service. Loyal customers deserve to feel welcomed, respected, and appreciated--not dismissed.

The matcha parfait was good with a nice creamy texture and flavoring. However, I have one complaint. When coming with two others where we are lactose sensitive and with one having an allergy to oats, they wanted to try the matcha latte's and we asked if they can make with almond milk . The female worker said they don't have almond milk and only do oat or whole milk which was odd, and I asked again to confirm and was told no. They ended up having to do whole milk despite being lactose intolerant and was bothered. I look through here from comments by the owner saying that they CAN substitute with almond milk, which is confusing and a little annoying that we were told they don't substitute almond milk and was never told a reason why. That's one complaint for those who might be allergic to oat milk or are lactose sensitive: There is barely any option to accommodate and for that I give three stars. I probably would not come back again nor recommend because of the lack of accommodation for those who cannot have oat/almond milk. However despite that it is good to try once.

They all had this great balance of bold tea flavor while not being overly sweet. Their boba was perfectly cooked too--soft and chewy--the kind we really enjoy having. No hard centers on these bobas. They also had their own flavor and slight bit of sweetness that added just the right amount of flavor and texture to the drinks. The place was clean and well ventilated, the staff who served us was nice, and service was actually pretty quick. I can see now why this bubble tea shop has very high praises and ratings on Yelp.

For my twins' 21st birthday, I ordered a custom cake, and the experience from order to first bite was flawless. The owner is clearly driven by pride in the product, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. We went with a passion fruit and fresh fruit creation--and when I say fresh, I mean vibrant, seasonal, and bursting with flavor, and placed at the last minute at pick up time to guarantee it.. The cake itself was beautifully balanced: light, airy, and refreshingly restrained on the sugar. The Highlight: The "crispy balls" on top weren't just decorative; they provided a brilliant textural contrast that rounded out the entire experience. Pro-Tip: Trust the process and let the cake sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving. The flavors "bloom" and the texture softens significantly compared to serving it straight from the fridge. For a fully custom creation, the pricing was incredibly reasonable. Highly recommended for milestone celebrations. And I will be back to try the individual marvels I drooled for in the display case :-)
