    Banana Pudding $7
    Tamara T.

    Walked in for work reasons, was given a chocolate chip cookie upon arrival, purchased the banana pudding to-go, ate banana pudding in my truck and immediately was a fan! The banana pudding alone, slaps. Aside from that, the storefront is clean, inviting, filled with pretty packages of baked goods and the employees are serving happiness, joy and just positive vibes. I left and one of the employees said, "Have a sweet day!" BRANDING! Love it here! I would come here and pick-up banana pudding as a sweet treat for people I really like/love. Of course, I will be back to try more, but for now, I will testify that the banana pudding is worth stopping in and trying and also a nice gift for a friend or relative!

    The desserts are tasty and fresh! It was my first time stopping by and I'll be back. The staff gave me a sample and talked about the most popular items. I decided on the maple butter cream cake and a cinnamon roll. I took the cake to an event and the ladies loved it. They have a clean and modern style inside. Super cute decor and there are even tables if you want to chill there

    Picked up a TGTG order and also bought a cinnamon roll to try. Their cinnamon rolls have some of the best soft texture I've ever had from store bought! The icing is sweet but has a good cream cheesy flavor to it. The girls working there are friendly and they have so many options in the cold case. Puddings, cakes etc. they also offered a cookie sample which was nice of them. Pricing is also fair, plenty of parking in the lot.

    Walk in and they greet you with a bright smile & free chocolate chip cookie? Classy! It's a small and comfy place to grab a sweet snack and a coffee. You can buy a slice of cake or a whole cake as we did. Thanks Sweet Valentine for making our family birthday celebration special

    Yummmmmmmy!! This banana pudding is delicious 100% recommend!! The staff is really sweet and kind!!

    Coconut cake and peach lemonade

    First, I want to say that I love the treats here especially the banana pudding. I've been coming for almost three years and have always had a good experience up until recently. The last two visits within the past month have been disappointing due to customer service. There's an older woman who has helped me both times. On one visit with my husband, I asked if the $2 lemonade deal was still available, and she ignored my question and rolled her eyes. Then today, when I came with my mom, she asked, "How many lemonades do you want?" in a rude tone and again rolled her eyes. I truly enjoy supporting this business, but these interactions make it uncomfortable to return. I hope customer service can improve, because the quality of the treats deserves a better experience. Banana pudding 10/10 ALWAYS Lemonade 10/10 Coconut cake was definitely a solid 9

    Red velvet bundt cake

    Run... don't walk... to this bakery if you need some sweet treats! First of all, they hand you a free cookie when you walk in... who else does that? NO ONE! I hope they don't mind me saying that. lol The cookie was delicious... I knew we were off to a good start! My mom loves coconut cake. So of course, I turned to Yelp to find the best one for her birthday. Sweet Valentine got me with the "southern coconut." The reason this is my mom's favorite is because my grandmother always made it for holidays when she was a little girl. When I told them it was for her birthday, they decorated it with cute flowers and a little Happy Birthday sign. I was hoping my mom would like the cake. I quote, "I suspect that they went to my mother's kitchen and stole her recipe. I feel like I'm 6-years old again." That is the highest compliment you can give because my grandmother was an AMAZING cook! When I looked at other bakeries, they wanted at least $75 for a cake. This one was less than $50. An incredible value, especially considering how delicious it was! I went back today to get a red velvet cake for my son's birthday. I can't wait to see his reaction. I know he will love it. Please support this business! The shop is really cute and super clean. Everything is on display beautifully. The prices are BEYOND reasonable. The owner, Matthew Valentine, and his staff are really friendly! But most important, the sweet treats are really AMAZING!!

    Biscoff Pudding
    Guerrero J.

    All I Can Say Was WOW!!!! Banana Pudding 10/10! Biscoff pudding 10/10!! Ps also got cinnamon roll to go lmao before I forget their chocolate chip cookies 10/10!! Ps the staff was super friendly first time here definitely won't be my last!

    I'm definitely coming back to try these

    Sweet Valentine Bakery is the sweetest! The owner and baker, Matthew Valentine is so nice and has a really cool story. His first inspiration into the culinary and baking world stems from a southern cookbook his grandmother gave him as a child. Sweet Valentine started in Matthews's garage in 2020, and became a brick and mortar a year ago. The bakery smells so good, upon entering, with nice and bright decor. I was greeted by Cathy from behind the counter and she was just sweetest too. Both Matthew and Cathy helped me choose their best-selling and favorites since it was my first time there. I was picking up an assortment of treats to bring into my office for an event. The banana pudding was phenomenal. The book it to me cake was amazing. The brown butter pound cake was delicious. All of the cookies were a huge hit. I was hoping to take some leftover treats home, but there was nothing left. My colleagues devoured it all! I'm definitely coming back to Sweet Valentine Bakery for all of the above plus the fresh baked cinnamon rolls that were calling me my name and to try their coffee too!

    Original and Nutella banana pudding. To die for!

    Holy smokes this place is good! I went in today with the goal of getting some banana pudding. The store is locate in a small shopping center with a DD's discounts and next to a Subway. There's lots of parking so no worries there. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted and offered a cookie "sample" that was delicious. I put quotes around sample as it was a normal sized cookie. There was a variety of pastries and sweets from cookies to croissants, cobbler, and of course banana pudding. I got two of the original flavor and one Nutella flavor. There was also a Biscoff flavor that's a must try for next time. Both the original and Nutella flavors were absolutely dreamy! Creamy and just the perfect amount of banana flavor. I honestly didn't know what to expect since I've only had homemade before but it was excellent. I'm so happy to have such a high quality sweets shop so close to me.

    This spot can be a little hard to find if you're not already looking for it--you could easily drive past without noticing--but once you're inside, it's absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is warm and homely, and the staff is genuinely friendly. They offer a great variety of pastries, and everything we tried was delicious. The standout for us was the banana pudding, but all the pastries we sampled were tasty and well-made. I'll definitely be returning to try more of their menu. Highly recommend giving this place a visit if you're in the area.

    Cinnamon coffee with caramel
    Emily J.

    Such a cute bakery/cafe. We walked in and they handed us each a free brown butter chocolate chip cookie!! The cinnamon cold brew with caramel was delicious! And the chocolate cake (split between me and the hubby) was delicious and not too dry despite being individually packaged. The icing was also so beautifully draped on the slice. It was a very pretty.

    My parents used to get fresh pan de sal here. Back in the day it was like $2 for a whole bag. Today…read morebecause of inflation it's a whole lot more. I like this place because they have a huge selection of breads. They have all the pan de xxxx you can think of: pan de sal, pan de coco, pan de ube and even all kinds of snacks and treats. I used to get a bunch of stuff when I come here, but lately it feels like I'm gonna spend $100 on carbs and I can't justify that. I really like their pan de sal, ube breads, kakanins , Turon and several other items. Yeah I'll definitely come back. But anyway,

    I'm digging the new look of this bread shop! Everything is so organized and it always smells…read moreamazing the moment you open the door! It's rare that there's no costumers in here. Expect a line, always. If there's a wait, that just means they're busy and always in demand of fresh breads! I highly suggest coming in the morning versus afternoon because they will run out. If you do need huge quantities, then preorder. There's only one cash register at all times, hence the long wait. Be patient! I love that it's in a huge plaza with Seafood City, Jollibee, Chow King and Red Ribbon! Parking is huge but again, it's always busy here! Plan accordingly. If you've read this far, thanks! (: I've been going to this Valerio's since childhood. This is our go-to for fresh pandesal! My parents and relatives always bought from here. I've tried a handful of their breads--ube, cheese pimiento, pan de coco, cheese filled pastries! You name it! You can't go wrong with any of their goodies. I especially love ordering from their glass shelves! There's Turon, Suman, Eggrolls, hopia, empanadas..the choices are endless! They always offer pancit, pandan, bilo-bilo, nilupak, palitaw, Puto bumbong, puto flan and more! It's hard to pick just one favorite since everything is so delicious! Dare I say, you must try everything?!

    My partner and I stopped by Cafe 86 in Carson hoping we had found our next go-to halo-halo spot…read more Unfortunately, authenticity and customer service were both missing from the recipe. Parking was easy, and when we walked in, there was only one occupied table. Three employees were chatting in the back. We were greeted, but it felt more like, "What would you like?" than "Welcome in." No smile, no conversation, no thank you--just a transaction. After taking our order, the employee returned to chatting with coworkers. When our order was ready, our name was called, the halo-halo was placed on the counter, and that was the end of the interaction. As for the halo-halo itself, my partner rated it a 2/10. It was overwhelmingly sweet and overpriced for what we received. We were hoping for layers of flavor and nostalgia but got a sugar rush that could probably power a small city. As a business owner myself, I understand that customer service is one of the biggest drivers of customer retention. Great products can bring people in once, but great service brings them back. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark on both. The good news? These issues are fixable. A little more warmth, engagement, and hospitality would go a long way. Until then, we'll continue our search for our next favorite halo-halo spot.
