    Pineapple coconut vegan mini cupcake
    Katie T.

    I contacted Elmeisha about 3-4 weeks prior to my son's bday to order a cake. I was worried this was too late since apparently other bakeries are booked up but I emailed a few places and gave paper rock fork a shot. Honestly I was skeptical just because there weren't enough reviews or picture as I'm used to, buuuuut Elmeisha did such a great job I knew I had to contribute to her business in case others thought the same. She was very prompt and thorough in her replies. I always have so many questions and she replies line by line. Let's start with her website, wow so organized, I love that there were so many options and the prices is all there so I don't have to ask her for every little thing. I'm sure that saves her lots of time too. But more importantly, the flavors! So many to choose from I really can't wait to re order to get some new flavors. I sent her a few inspirational photos and told her to decorate as she wish as long as I had my main centerpiece topper. She really came through! I made my own decorations and it matched completely! Everyone loved how it looked and how it tasted. The fact that I had just a small slice to bring home was a sign it was a hit. It was a moist chocolate cake with real strawberry filling. My favorite was that the buttercream wasn't heavy nor sweet. It went really well with the cake. She had eggless and vegan options which I also picked out for the cupcakes (with added fees). I got mini cupcakes because it allowed people to try different flavors without being overwhelming. I am so glad I got them. She went above and beyond with the decorations. I didn't expect it to be so decked out and I loved it! Now the buttercream on here is a bit sweet but it's probably the ratio of cream to cupcake. I couldn't even tell the vegan cupcake was vegan. I got it in pineapple coconut flavor and will definitely re order these. Overall, I am very happy and will be a returning customer.

    10/10 Amazing customer service from the owner. She was so kind and understanding and helped me get my dream cake. I havent had a birthday cake in over 10 years and seeing this when she presented it to me brought me to tears. It was so delicious and I enjoyed it with my family and friends. Definitely recommend this business and will be coming back maybe just for fun :)

    Cookie cake
    Laura G.

    Meisha is a fantastic baker. Reached out for a custom order and she was more than happy to help out. Come to find out she's also a TMNT fan so she did a fantastic job with the cookie cake. It was so delicious and everyone was super impressed. Bonus: she has an awesome personality!

    a three tiered wedding cake

    I hired them to prepare a dessert bar for my daughter's recent wedding. Elmeisha, the owner, was wonderful to work with. She made it clear from the beginning that her goal was to give the couple just what they wanted. She prepared samples for us and tweaked the recipes to our specific requests. About 6 weeks before the wedding, the bride and groom decided to add a cake. Elmeisha was so accommodating. The day of, she came to the venue and set up everything. It looked beautiful and it was all delicious! We had brownies, lemon bars, raspberry bars, rice krispy treats, and chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies. The cake was amazing, as well. Prices were extremely reasonable and Elmeisha was a delight to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone planning an event and will definitely use her in the future!

    Square cake. Minecraft design. Triple chocolate flavor.

    I'm so glad to have found Paper Rock Fork Bakery. I contacted Elmeisha with only 1 week notice as the usually cake vendor I go to had a big wedding event and wasn't able to do my order. Elmeisha was able to accommodate my request. My kid has an egg allergy so it's usually quite hard for us to get cake that's eggless, but not necessarily vegan (we still want the butter, lol). She also delivered on the design aspect. I let her know my kid is into Roblox or Minecraft and she sent me pictures of samples and had me choose. It turned out great and all the kids at the birthday party were ogling at the cake design. Paper Rock Fork Bakery will definitely be my new go to cake vendor!

    I had a last-minute need for a custom cake and so glad I contacted Meisha. She was wonderful from the beginning of our conversation. Meisha was willing to accommodate me and gave me some great options/ideas to make my cake vision come to life. She provided excellent customer service and made a very delicious and beautiful cake. I highly recommend Meisha / Paper Rock Fork!

    Amazing raspberry bars

    Meisha is amazing to work with! She was preparing the dessert bar for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. They had planning on having a variety of baked items, and decided to add a wedding cake just a few weeks before the wedding. Meisha was so accommodating. She baked, decorated and delivered a beautiful cake, along with custom desserts that were delicious. All were set up in a stunning display. She made sure that every item was exactly as the bridge and groom liked it. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any occasion!

    Custom vanilla cake with chocolate filling & chocolate ganache. Real flowers for someone that doesn't love frosting ones.

Red Velvet cheesecake cup was just ok for me due to the cheesecake frosting. I think I would've preferred a whole slice of cake instead. This bakery kiosk is a part of Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant Moussaka. Interior has the cutest cafe tables and chairs. Love the grey with baby pink + mint green color scheme. Step inside and go directly to the dessert display to place an order. They're also on DoorDash. Can't wait to see what Chef Nile comes up with next!

The Black Tea Cheese Cream was visibly an inch below the brim of the cup. The Durian Sago, was very obviously under filled as shown in the picture. When we questioned the employee about the durian drink, he said that he had forgotten to fill it up all the way. It was so obvious that he should have noticed when he put the cup into the sealing machine or even when he gave it to us. Not only that, the drinks were disappointing. Before it tasted authentic and with actual tea. Now for the black tea cheese cream drink, it tasted like milk with sugar. The mango sago and durian sago drinks tasted like diluted milk and in the first gulp all the sago was gone. Never going here again.

I finally found some time to visit with my cousin on a quiet Friday early afternoon. We were greeted to a beautiful, clean, and well organized store by the kind and polite owner, Areej. The vibe of the store very much so echoed a candy store you'd find in a shopping mall, except all the sweet treats are handmade and imported from countries such as Palestine and Turkey. Areej was very kind and welcoming and walked us through each of the different sweet treats, such as truffles and Turkish delights. There are also various mixed roasted nuts options with unique seasonings, and even Dubai chocolate strawberry cups! Areej was kind and generous, providing ample samples of the Turkish delights in flavors like Oreo, Dubai chocolate, birthday cake, and even sesame chocolate! My cousin also really likes their mixed party nuts that had a great spicy kick to it from a special blend of imported spices. Because of Areej's hospitality and generosity, as well as the prime quality of the chocolate truffles, mixed toasted nuts, and Turkish delights we were able to sample, I definitely did not hesitate to take home some delectable goodies (see photos). There also were skincare products made in Palestine, and I bought this homemade rose scented olive oil soap that I'll be gifting to my friend for her birthday :) Thank you so much, Areej, for being so welcoming! We will definitely recommend to others and come back! PS: It was mentioned that in the past, many people would walk in, sample large amounts of the shop's goodies, and then rudely leave the store without buying anything. Honestly, that's so distasteful! We need to support small businesses as much as possible, and even buying as much as one tiny chocolate truffle helps sustain businesses like The Old City Roastery. Businesses that make our diverse SF Bay Area so rich in culture and high-quality foreign culinary cuisines. Have some decorum, yall!!
