We've been lucky enough to work with Kristin for some of the most special celebrations in our family, and her talent is absolutely unmatched. For our daughter's first birthday, she created the most stunning princess-themed cake--almond-flavored with sugared almonds inside--along with an adorable smash cake. Not only was it breathtakingly beautiful, but it was also out-of-this-world delicious. She even made the cutest little flag banner spelling out our daughter's name, it was such a thoughtful touch and so well done. This Christmas, we made a unique request for a "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake (thanks to our 5-year-old's idea), and once again Kristin went above and beyond. The cake was even more gorgeous than I had imagined, and it was one of the highlights of our holiday (and a new tradition I think!) Next up is our son's 6th birthday, and she's designing a Deadpool and Wolverine cake--proving yet again there's truly nothing she can't do! Her cakes are the perfect combination of artistry and flavor, and every bite shows her incredible skill and attention to detail. I wouldn't trust anyone else to help make our celebrations this memorable. Highly, highly recommend!

There are not enough words to thank Kristin with Sugar Dot Bake Shop for the delicious cakes she so perfectly made for our son's first birthday. We ordered a 10inch custom specialty cake (confetti flavor with fresh strawberry and cake crunchies) and smash cake that matched but was baby friendly (which our son loved), and my only regret is not getting better pictures for this review because they don't do justice. Kristin truly helped make the birthday memorable and DELICIOUS! Not only did the cake completely finish (which is a first usually large cakes have left overs), but everyone could not stop talking about how amazing it tasted. There were definitely 2nds and 3rd helpings eaten! With all of this said, Kristin also made the process very smooth, was accommodating with pick up time, and even circled back after the party to check in. Phenomenal customer service! We look forward to ordering more cakes in the future.

The cake was beautiful, moist and oh so delicious. My son and his guests loved it. I will order from Sugar Dot again.

Kristin was so incredible to work with and made my 30th birthday cake exactly as I wanted it. Not only was the cake beautiful, it was also delicious! Everyone asked for a second slice, and my fiancé definitely had a few extra bites when putting the leftovers away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and I will be placing future orders! Thanks again Kristin!

Kristin has provided great service and communication for my son's last two birthdays. She can make a wide variety of celebratory treats for your party. For his recent birthday she made a delicious carrot cake with a jack skelington theme. The carrot cake was moist and delicious as she promised. The raspberry cupcakes from last year also did not disappoint . She delivered both times right on time.

On September 21st, my husband and I got married in Livermore, CA. After trying a few dessert shops we settled with Sugar Dot Bakeshop. We live in Walnut Creek and found Kristin after looking all over Yelp and Google. A few months before the wedding we did a trial to find out which desserts we wanted to do. Kristin gave us a sample of every type we were thinking of. In the end, we decided upon mini cupcakes (the same flavor of our wedding cake, vegan chocolate peanut butter mini cupcakes, dark chocolate strawberries, milk chocolate strawberries, mini doughnuts, Rice Krispies, brownies, lemon bars, chocolate chip cookies, and ultimately, our wedding cake. Kristin came all the way out to Livermore to deliver the desserts for our 140 person wedding. There was so much desert and honestly NONE was left! I found out later everyone went back for thirds and fifths of dessert they loved it so much. Sadly, my husband and I didn't get to have any! Note to future brides, designate someone to make you a dessert plate since you will be too busy. Luckily, I knew they were good already from the dessert sampling we did. My husband and I did eat our fresh strawberry wedding cake. It was delicious. We just wanted a small one to ceremonially cut. Half of it is currently in our freezer to eat on our one year anniversary! Kristin was even flexible with the flavors and designs. We did not like the original flavor of wedding cake and worked with her to find the most perfect one. Additionally, she was open to decorations and frosted the donuts and Rice Krispies in University of Oregon colors. It is our Alma Mater and where we met so this meant a lot to us. Kristin was fabulous to work with and we are so excited to use her services again in the future! Thank you again for making our day special. *I plan on adding more photos as I receive them!

This was the most delicious carrot cake I have ever had. We bought this cake for my dad's 65th birthday party with a Beach Boy's theme - it was perfect! Great service - wonderful cake!

My wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous and perfect. And it tasted fantastic!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Kristin went above and beyond to make a gorgeous cake for us with our perfect day. We had a beautiful spiced apple cake with salted caramel buttercream. Everyone was blown away with how delicious the cake was! She truly made my wedding day a magical event with her hard work and dedication.

I reached out to Kristen to make a cake for a baby shower I was hosting. I had previously had her banana chocolate chip cake at another event and it was delicious!. I sent her a few pictures of what I had in mind, and her responsiveness was immediate and professional. When I picked up the cake, it far exceeded my expectations! It fit the theme of "Sea You Soon, Baby" elegantly and each detail was perfection. Everyone raved about not only how this speciality cake looked, but tasted. So moist! I will be a customer for life when looking for a special cake. Thanks, Kristin!

My second time ordering from Kristin. Communication to end product, everything perfect again. I especially appreciated her true care on what the finished product would look like. We exchanged five or so emails to make sure the train was the right color, etc. Here is an email I just sent her. Thank you Kristin!! "Hi Kristin! I can't thank you enough for the cake! The next morning, I asked my son what the best part of his birthday was. He said "the cake" :) :) Our whole crowd was oohing and awwing over it. And another bonus was my husband, who self proclaims, "doesn't like cake" loved it! Looks like I'll have to be in touch in June for a Father's Day cake next!! Such a pleasure to work with you always. You are amazing at what you do!"

Banana Chocolate cake

Kristin was wonderful to work with. I was looking for a cake to celebrate my son's marriage. He and his wife met in college on the triathlon team and I wanted the cake to represent how they met. The end result was spot on, they loved it! Bonus, the banana chocolate cake was delicious. They both felt that it was better than their wedding cake. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, delicious birthday cake.

I highly recommend Sugar Dot Bakery. I do not live in Walnut Creek but was having my party at a local venue. After researching bakeries and corresponding with them I chose Sugar Dot. I sent a picture of my dress and some ideas of what I wanted the cake to look like. Kristen sent back pictures of possible designs. I selected one and chose her cake flavor recommendations. She delivered the cake on time. It looked beautiful (exactly as I had imagined), matched my dress and tasted amazing.

We went to eat in Downtown Walnut Creek, I promised my little one a cupcake and she did not forget…read more As soon as we finished lunch, she was on it. Cupcakin' Bake Shop for the win. We ordered a couple mini cupcakes, which are the perfect size for a two bite dessert. We got a chocolate one and another with vanilla frosting and sprinkles. Cute mini cupcakes, not too pricey and delicious - smiles all around.

I'm sad to have to drop by my rating. I honestly can no longer give the shop a 5-star review…read more While their cupcakes are still really good and I can give stars for good cupcakes, I have to lower the rating for customer service because I recently had a really challenging time trying to order a cake from the Walnut Creek branch. Receiving a texted coupon for 15% off my order, I was excited to use it since I needed a birthday cake. Though there was an online code, I could not use the discount online. I called the shop several times, but there was no answer, and I even left a voice message but never heard a call back. Finally I noticed there was number on the website to text so I did, and got a response. The response was that it was too late to order the cake, and the coupon couldn't be used online ordering system because the online ordering system was different from what was used in the store. BUT I was told I can still call my order in and pay in advance over the phone to get the 15% discount if I still wanted cupcakes, and if the store didn't answer, the person sending the text said he/she would contact the store. I appreciated that kind gesture. The next morning, I settled for cupcakes and decided to call the order in and pick up the cupcakes in the afternoon since I had no time that morning to go to the store. But lo and behold, I called and again no one answered. I texted the same number from the day before and a response came back that they would contact the store to give me a call. I checked in by calling the store two more times and still no answer. And no one called back that afternoon either. Sadly, I had to give up, but was glad to give business to a way more responsive bakery with delicious cakes.

The hygiene alone should be enough to make anyone turn around and walk out. The employee working the front repeatedly coughed into his hands, rubbed his nose, sneezed, then immediately went back to handling customers' utensils, napkins, and food-related items without washing or sanitizing his hands. It happened over and over again. It was honestly disgusting to watch. Basic food safety should never be optional. Then came the bill. Three items. One tiny crepe, one madeleine, and one quiche. Nearly $50. I actually thought there had been a mistake. The crepe was embarrassingly small, and the chicken inside was some of the worst I've had. It was dry, stringy, chewy, and tasted incredibly cheap. There was absolutely nothing fresh or high quality about it. The portions were tiny, the quality was poor, and the prices were completely disconnected from reality. My husband was born and raised in France, and we've spent plenty of time eating at cafés and bakeries there. This isn't even remotely comparable. It's an overpriced imitation that relies on the idea of being French instead of delivering food that's actually worth eating. If you're going to charge premium prices, then deliver premium quality, proper food safety, and an experience that justifies it. This place failed on every one of those fronts. We won't be back, and I genuinely can't understand why this place has the reputation it does.

FINALLY!! A great matcha spot that's not in the South Bay and competes with the best in Southern…read moreCalifornia. My gosh... I am someone who used to live in SoCal and Hawaii. I say it all the time in my reviews. I've had access to a plethora of coffee and matcha industry. And wherever I am on the globe, I always look for these shops during our adventures. Milly & Illian. My gosh. So welcoming. So proud of the shop, its products and their leadership. I hope the owners know. First timer here and I spent $52. Readers: the $52 was completely worth it as soon as we took a bite of the passion fruit mochi. Heaven sent. It's akin to Kailua's Bits & Bites on Oahu. Please don't ever close. Please stay open longer. This is the first time I've tried this after wanting to visit for so many years. I work full time andddd I live in 707 so it's a little bit of a trek out here. Orrrrr consider bringing this to 707- I would recommend Benicia if you are familiar with first street. You'd kill it here! I want to bring it back to my guys Milly and Illian. I'm big big big on energy and customer service and you both broughttttt it. Being 38 when I visit these very trendy IG worthy spots, I'm usually disappointed- if not by the coffee or dessert, most definitely by the customer service. Read all my reviews, it's my first comment usually. To the owners reading this, seriously give a shout out to these lovlies. They started my day on the right foot. Xoxo Can't wait to see what you bring back from Taiwan (see the guys shared where you are- sure to make the matcha and mochi shop even cooler). I'll come back soon! Kathleen

Here's my story and why I was disillusioned enough to share it on Yelp…read more.. I love high quality ceremonial grade Matcha!; love the health benefits even more. I'm committed to a cleaner, healthier lifestyle. One item I've cut out of my life is plastics since microplastics infiltrate so much of what we're served and consume. That said, i excitedly walk into 3rd Culture, order Matcha and just water; I don't want sweetener, milk, creme, sugar; nothing added... I tip 20% then ask the girl who took my order if she could simply pour the matcha directly into my stainless steel Yeti cup while reaching out to hand it to her...She looks at me like I asked for the meaning of life and then looked at my pristinely, clean, empty Yeti and with both her hands up like it was some horrific, science experiment said: "I cannot touch your cup. I will pour your drink into a cup and you can pour it in yourself" ...i believe that's what she said as it was hard to hear as she mumbled under a face mask but the non-verbal was pronounced...I kindly replied, "hey I'm just trying to avoid plastic, and It'll save one of your cups from being used, could you just pour it in directly" ((into my yeti) at this point, another customer is standing there listening, giggling and the girl reiterated "I cannot do that" in the most serious tone sounding like it was a life or death matter...not wanting to make a spectacle, I acquiesced and watched her pour the heated water into a plastic cup of water, added ice, water and handed to me. I couldn't help but be petty while I instantly then poured it into my cup. Customer who was listening , laughing said "hey I understand, you tried" Annoying thing is when heated liquid hits plastic, that's when the microplastics get unleashed... The worker had a weird vibe from the mumbled where it was hard to hear and had an aura of being annoyed she was working there. Won't go back.
