The different flavors really suit my taste! For their 6" cream cakes, they come in Peach, chocolate truffle, and matcha red bean. I can say all 3 flavors are really good. If you don't want to get a whole cake, they also sell slices. There are more flavors in the slices of cakes, such as black sesame yuzu and jujube rose. Again, those are really good too! I normally contact them through Instagram. They are very responsive and friendly. Also if you go in last minute to get a cake and the chef is still there, you can ask them to write happy birthday on the cake!

So there was a snafu with my order and while I wasn't exactly happy as it happened in Christmas…read moreEve, the staff/owner were all very nice and they're a small business doing what they can on a holiday with their family. Plus their baked goods are delicious! Two stand outs are the black sesame Swiss rolls and the durian cream puffs. It's been a year since my last review, and I think they improved the black sesame flavor. A full Swiss roll was $28 and so worth it. The durian cream puffs has a chunk of durian in it and the choux was crisp. Durian cream puffs sell out often. The chestnut mini cake is super cute, and honestly, it's hard to find chestnut flavored things here anymore. If I had to label this bakery anything, it would be the Chinese bakery that has all the nostalgic flavors with modern takes. Most Chinese bakeries by here don't do black sesame, durian or chestnut anymore. And this place does it well, and they're nice. NOTE: to order, they prefer WeChat. My ordering snafu happened bc I tried calling and there was a language miscommunication between WeChat/text messaging. WeChat is the easiest way to place orders.

Cake 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreValue 4.5/5 Such a charming little bakery tucked away on 86th st - they're a true hidden gem! I love that they use fresh fruit and make their own cream. We ordered a custom cake for my niece's 12th birthday, and it was honestly one of the best custom cakes I've ever had. Most custom cakes tend to have a denser, tougher sponge, but this one was incredibly fluffy, bouncy, and perfectly balanced, most importantly not too sweet. The texture reminded me of the amazing cakes I've had in China, and I haven't found anything like it here until now. We also tried their fresh mochi filled with whipped cream and mango, it was so light and melts in your mouth! The mochi skin had just the right chew and reminded me of the fresh mochi I had in Taiwan. Even their mini hot dog bun was super tasty! Every item we tried was a hit. I'll definitely be back here!

There was absolutely no flavor--just tasted like straight butter and sugar. I know what pandan taste like and it wasn't it. I paid extra for pandan flavor, and honestly there was zero trace of it. I could tell she used green dye, It literally tasted like a bland, buttery sugar cookie cake. Texture-wise, it was just as bad. It wasn't moist at all and didn't even hold up properly even before cutting--it just fell apart. It looks like crumbled rocks. The cake was so dry! For the price, I expected much better quality. Communication was another major issue. There's no phone number, only email, which already felt off. Responses were slow and unhelpful, making the whole process feel unprofessional and honestly a bit sketchy. What kind of business only communicates through email? Overall, I'm highly disappointed. Definitely not worth the money. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere--this is a perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I truly wanted to support her small business but it didn't turn out the way I expected. This business overpromise and under deliver. Don't say you can make a pandan cake when you clearly don't have the proper ingredients. Could been honest to begin with but instead you dug a hole and lied by using green dye. Never again am I supporting this small home business I rather go to an actual LLC.

Our guests were always so impressed by her cake designs and complimented how unique and yummy the cakes we got. Separately, I very much appreciate the unique flavors (green tea, ube, to name a few) that Lisa offers! Every time I try something new, it immediately becomes my new favorite.

However, upon entering, I found they were just like any other bakery in the area. Nothing special, just your average Joe. Sure, they had a couple different choices such as a Mango brioche or something like that but it was not as good as it sounded. It was just the center that had a small blob of flavor. The bread itself was just like any other Chinese bakery. Would I go out of my way to get anything here? No. Would I visit them if they just happened to be the closest bakery to me out of convenience? Sure. (But they are not).

They have one in particular that I was interested in (red bean loaf) but it wasn't available when I went. Instead I picked up some pork floss cake that I've been craving lately. It was pretty good price at $4.50 for two large pieces of pork floss cake. Taste is not bad, very light flavor. The cake itself is very light. Unfortunately, I think they really skimped on the pork floss and the cream/mayo filling on the inside. There's just not enough pork floss for the amount of cake. It's still good but nothing amazing where would I buy again.

I highly recommend getting their new pistachio/Dubai chocolate products here: strawberry pistachio cake - If you love strawberry shortcake, you'll love this because it tastes like an elevated version with the pistachio cream. 5/5 Dubai chocolate mochi donut - $5 for one (relatively small if we're counting by volume) donut is astronomical but I have to say it was worth it. It was soo soo good. The texture was soft, chewy with bits of crunch. The flavor was not overbearingly sweet and really captured the essence of what I think Dubai chocolate is.
