I ordered a cake online and never got the cake or a refund. I placed an order for a birthday cake through the Sweet Affair website. I received a confirmation that says Sweet Affair and the phone number of Sweet Affair is listed as the contact for questions and concerns...My card was charged under "Sweet Affair Bakery". The day of our party, with a house full of guests, no cake arrived... I called and was told my order was through DoorDash, who manages their online order, and it was a DoorDash "Wifi error," and I needed to call DoorDash. There was no apology or accountability, only blame on DoorDash. The person I spoke to was so rude and spoke to me in a condescending tone. There was an offer to give me a different cake, even though- quote "we can't even prove you paid". When I click on "Track My Order" in the email confirmation I received, it takes me to DoorDash; however, when I click "Help," it says to call Sweet Affair Bakery. So, I decided to email Sweet Affair, since calling did me no good, and I got an auto-reply saying, "We don't respond to emails." I am going in circles with no one willing to help me at the bakery. I need my refund.

Well here you are, looking at Alpine Pastry and Cakes. Is this place good? Do I take a chance?…read more Will I be disappointed? Yes, it is very good Yes take a chance. You will not be disappointed. My wife and son are dessert snobs. Both have been to Paris and say France has the best pastries. But wait, they just came back from Alpine, and what did they say???? DELICIOUS!! They were smiling from ear to ear! They bought a carrot cake and an assortment of fresh and tasty pastries. And they even let me have a bite. It was so good! Sooooo, yes, try them. We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

I am glad to see that this place has good business during lunch since there aren't that many choices for dim sum in Walnut Creek and I want them to stay in business.

I stood at the front desk for almost 5 minutes while the woman at the counter shuffled menus without acknowledging me. She did a lap around the restaurant, came back, and then asked how she could help me. I told her I wanted to place a to-go order. She proceeds to take my order when the phone rings. Rather than placing the line on hold because she has a live customer in front of her, she decides to dive into the conversation! I'm very keen on customer service, and the fact that I was initially unacknowledged and then intentionally overlooked tells me all I need to know. They don't have to worry about getting my business.

Disappointing Experience with Cold Ensaymada and Poor Customer Service. I had a disappointing experience at this bakery. Firstly, they served their ensaymada cold, which was surprising and concerning as it's typically served fresh. When I inquired about warming it up, I was told it wasn't possible. This left me unsure about the freshness of the product. To make matters worse, the staff member's attitude escalated when I expressed my surprise about the cold ensaymada, even though I hadn't even touched it yet. Additionally, when I politely asked for napkins, the response I received was unnecessarily curt. Overall, the combination of the cold ensaymada and poor customer service made for a regrettable visit. read more

My only concern is that the internet seems to go down fairly often. We've experienced it several times over the past few months. Other than that, the overall experience has been very positive.

What Happened to the Choco Bun?…read more Plenty of free parking. When you walk in, grab a tray and window shop all the pastries. They individually wrap these so grab what you want and place it on your tray. Once you're finished, cruise up to the counter. Would I Come Back? Yes, I keep coming back. I use to come back for the Choco Bun, but if they've changed the recipe at all locations, I'll only be coming back for the Milk Bun and Nougat. Their Signature Item: Egg tarts are their signature item. If you've ever been to an Asian party, someone almost always brings a box of egg tarts from 85-Degrees. But on today's visit. Well, just look at the photo. Someone stepped away from the oven for about 6 minutes too long. Choco Bun ($2.55, Grade D): The Choco Bun has been my absolute go-to for years--the closest location to me is usually the South Sacramento store and I tell everyone they have to get it whenever they visit an 85°C. Unfortunately, it's been about 8 months since my last trip, and the Choco Bun is no longer something to write home about. Milk Bun ($2.05, Grade A+): If you've ever had their Milk Bun with the custard filling, the Choco Bun used to be very similar in texture. Now, it's flat with super dry edges. Not good at all. Luckily, I also bought a Milk Bun (my usual second favorite), and by default, it's now my number one because the Choco Bun was a complete bust. It's so fluffy and sweet. Melts in your mouth. Strawberry Banana Smoothie / no boba ($5.85, Grade F): It was incredibly artificial-tasting--nothing real about it. I only made it through a quarter of it before throwing the rest into the garbage. My fault for hoping for a "just picked" fresh fruit taste, but this was honestly one of the worst smoothies I've ever had. Nougat ($9.60, Grade A+): The bagged Nougat candy is fantastic. It's soft, gooey, and packed with what I'm guessing are pieces of pistachio. Delicious, but a fair warning if you have dental issues: these will wreak havoc on your teeth. It's not quite as sticky as a Starburst, but it could definitely pull out a denture! Bottom Line: The staff here is friendly, and there are still a few standout 5-star items that make a visit worth it (the Milk Bun and the Nougat). However, the disappointing recipe change to the Choco Bun and the absolute miss on the smoothie knock this down to a 3-star experience overall.
