From celebrating my own…read morebirthdays as a kid to now celebrating my children's birthdays, they've been incredibly consistent in both quality and taste. One of the things I love most is their frosting. It's light, creamy, and not overly sweet like a lot of other bakeries. It complements the cake perfectly instead of overpowering it. Every cake we've had has been fresh, delicious, and exactly what we've come to expect over the years.

I had some food in the car that was melting and I was really frustrated having to wait super long, especially when it was a pickup order so after ten minutes of standing there I yelled and explained I just wanted to pick up my order which took two seconds.

It's still the same Golden Spoons but they have a small fridge carrying a few kokonut products (about $10/11 per jar.. too expensive imo). The folks working here are usually young high schoolers but they are always nice, polite and friendly. I've never had a bad experience here. Golden Spoons is a old classic froyo place.. nothing to dislike. :) Old spot.. clean and reliable ice cream stop after the library or korean bbq.

I really enjoyed the mango icing on mine and would definitely get more of these again. I look forward to trying the ube and some of the more unique flavors they offer.

The $30 price tag is average for a 18" pizza. I also ordered the fried zucchini for $6.99 that was solid. It was fried well and tasted good. The food is solid. The 2 minor complaints I have is the bacon chicken ranch pizza didn't have too much bacon on it and they charge $0.95 for ranch. I like getting ranch with my pizza, and it'd be nice to get 1-2 ranches for free when ordering the largest pizza. This isn't a sit down place where you're served, so I don't expect the service to be top notch. However, after finishing the pizza, I took the pie box with all the trash in it to the trashcan and realized that it doesn't really fit well since the box is so big. I took the box to an employee and asked if they have a bigger trash can and he just said "no" and "sorry". He didn't take the trash or tell me to leave it anywhere so I took it myself to the trashcan and bent the box in half so it'd fit in the trashcan. I will note last time I was here they did take the box with the trash, so it's not always like that. Overall not a bad place if you want to get quick pizza without breaking the bank.

It's a casual deli with both indoor and outdoor seating. I want to start off with the positive which is their bagels were good. They were fluffy and chewy, just like how a bagel should be. We enjoyed all the flavors we got. But I had two major issues with this place: - their menu prices on their website are not the same as their current prices. That's what brought me here because I thought it was a good deal but then I show up and their baker's dozen is $7 more than what's shown on their website!! The owner notes they changed their prices a few months ago...if that were so, they should update their website as customers rely on it for accurate menu selection and prices. - although I arrived early in the morning at 850am, their bagel selection was limited. There were several flavors that I wanted to try but they were already out. If bagels are your specialty, shouldn't you make sure you have an ample amount of bagels especially in the mornings? Although I love bagels, it's hard to stomach paying this much ($24 for 13 bagels, $33 for 13 bagels and 2 cream cheeses, $5 for one bagel with cream cheese) on a regular basis. I would be a regular customer if their prices were more reasonable.
