Burritos aren't really my thing for breakfast, but I did thoroughly enjoy it while I sat outside to people watch. I think next time I'll try the everything Bagel! Definitely make a stop at this very welcoming business. They also didn't mind had my dog with me. Note, he's elderly/ mellow --well behaved and leashed. I did notice larger dogs were waiting outside versus going inside, but I'm not sure on the rules.

The bakery case had so many tempting options, and the staff was prompt and friendly. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant, which came out warm, flaky, and genuinely yummy.

We got there a few minutes after they closed and apparently we looked pitiful and disappointed. There was no "well we are closed" it was only "what can we do for you?" It's a sweet cafe with a full coffee menu ( yes, they did draw the line there with not preening us up a cup, but that was fine). What I appreciated more about anything were quality people who enjoyed what they were doing. Next time we will be on time.

They were also incredibly accommodating with our custom design request, even though it was placed on short notice. Their excellent service and delicious cake made my son's birthday extra special. Thank you so much for helping create such wonderful memories! I still stop by whenever I have a sweet craving on my cheat days and they never disappoint!

The cake itself was moist and had a strong matcha flavor, which was a huge plus. A lot of matcha…read morecakes and pastries tend to have a very subtle matcha taste, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much the matcha flavor came through. I'm also not a huge frosting person, and I believe the cream was buttercream, which was probably the biggest downside for me. It wasn't overly sweet, but the consistency was just too thick for both my husband and me. I even tried leaving it out for over an hour to see if it would soften, but it remained dense. I do wish there were more fruit in the filling. It was mainly cream and a few berries. We sliced the cake on Saturday, and by Monday the exposed part of the cake from where it was cut had become pretty dry. I ended up cutting off the dry outer layer, but thankfully the inside was still moist, so I was able to enjoy the rest of the cake. Ordering through Square was easy. I ordered the 4-inch cake with a marble design, matcha cake, strawberry cream, and strawberries. One thing to note is that if you order the 4-inch cake, there wasn't a section to add custom text. You'll need to email or call them with your order number to let them know what you want written on the cake. Overall, the highlight of the cake was definitely the cake itself. The moisture and strong matcha flavor really stood out and were my favorite parts. If I were to order from this bakery again, I'd probably try a different filling and cream because the buttercream just wasn't for me, but that's more of a personal preference.

We drive from San Jose to Half Moon Bay once a week just to treat ourselves to a little bit of magic, and it's always worth it.

Every piece is beautifully crafted, rich in flavor, and made with heart. Sweet 55 is more than a shop -- it's an experience.

We found Maggie by a recommendation from our wedding photographer…read more We were so impressed with the flavors she offered during our tasting that we decided to choose her for our wedding cake the moment we left the tasting. Her cakes are so fresh, light, and flavorful. She only uses fresh ingredients. She uses Real butter in her buttercream frosting, not shortening. Once you have real buttercream you can't have the 'other' stuff. Maggie's buttercream is sooo smooth and creamy and just simply melts in your mouth. We chose the coconut cake with passion fruit buttercream filling and lemon cake with raspberry filling. She only charges an extra $50 for two flavors, awesome. The lightness and light sweetness of her cakes was the perfect match to our Chinese banquet. Her pricing is also very very affordable. She tells you exactly what you need based on your guest count and what cake design you were thinking of using. She is not opposed to using sheet cakes to cut the cost down also. When our wedding day came, our cake looked perfect. I only gave her a picture to follow and the cake looked just like the pictures with a little bit of changes because we wanted to use real flowers. (I've included a picture of the cake.) Maggie was the best and we have received multiple multiple compliments on our wedding cake. Her cake is so fresh that it's been 15 days since our wedding and we are still nibbling on the top cake tier; tastes just like it did on our wedding day.

Cakes by Maggie provided our wedding cake for our April 2011 wedding. We decided to go with Maggie…read morebecause of her excellent reviews on-line, her price, and the taste of her samples. We were satisfied with cake we got. At her recommendation, we ordered up and purchased 100 slices for our 85-person wedding. We only had 2 slices left-over. Pros: + Our lemon-cake with raspberry-filling tasted good. + She makes her own fondant, so it actually tastes decent. + She set-up and decorated the cake on time. + Maggie is very sweet. + She worked within our limited budget ($455 for our cake and delivery). Cons: -Maggie works another job, and this is her side-business. She was often slow at answering e-mails (3-4 day turn around), which can be frustrating during the wedding-planning process. - We went down an unconventional route and did not hire a florist for our wedding. I think Maggie is used to working directly with florists when decorating a cake, so it was a bit challenging to communicate about what would be appropriate flowers for us to buy. If you're interested, I'd set up an appointment with Maggie to meet her and try her samples.
