We tracked down Joe's while searching for desserts to match the same bar, and he has delivered for us year after year. Literally! Hand delivered to our door promptly just before the party. The cupcakes are beautiful. We actually had guests inquiring about where we got them and asking for contact info for Joe's. "I'm not typically a cupcake person," one said, "But these are soooooo good!"

Everyone at the party wanted to know where they came from! The cakes were moist and flavorful and the frosting, which I usually am not a fan of, was fantastic. Joe was a pleasure to work with as he was very friendly and extremely responsive the entire process. I highly recommend Joe's Just Desserts. I know we will definitely be a return customer.

I was so wrong. We devoured the cupcakes - they were moist, fluffy, just the right size, and perfect amount of sweetness. Holy Christmas I'm drooling just thinking about it. They are on par with my all-time favorite cupcake shop in Seattle, Trophy Cupcakes. That's saying a lot. The only thing about this place is that I haven't tried more of their items! So I suppose this review is slightly unfair...I guess I need to go try some more baked goods! Hehehe.... FYI: I'm having trouble accessing their website. I suggest you see their Facebook page first: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Aliso-Viejo-CA/Dolce-Vista-Cakes/141876385830459

Luckily, we were able to reach out and get a cake made at the last minute. The owner made special accommodations for us and went out of her way to make sure we had a great cake and a happy birthday experience.

Right when you walk in, the sweet aroma of fresh baked sweets welcomed you in. There was a good crowd inside which we thought were waiting to order but found out they were waiting for the fresh baked sweet bread. A must if you ever try any. Just looking through the case of all the amazing creation. Basically fancy donuts. One after the other. They also had a few savory items included. Didn't get any but they looked amazing. We ended up going with the bad bundles. Half dozen donuts and 20 piece staxx. Found out that's what people were waiting for when we walked in. Everyone was waiting for them to come fresh out of the oven hence the long wait. It did take a while for us but we were offered a cookie to try while waiting. It was delicious, I do recommend the ube cookies. After what did take a long while, we tried our fresh HOT box of staxx. Let me say, wow they were amazing and of course hot. Straight from the oven. Nice moist bread with a nice sweet glaze. I can see what the hype was about with them. Everyone in line for them. We didn't get a chance to try the donuts right away. By the time we had them, it had been sitting for a while. Still good but better if they were fresh from the start. It was good regardless and this place was great. The staxx, would definitely get again.

Not a bad price and always a win for something to bring when I'm visiting someone or even potlucks! The service is pretty good, I've never ordered ahead so there's been a bit of a wait time depending on what time of day I get there. The store is small and not really a place to sit and eat. It's clean, bright!

Chef Metin is super nice!…read more We needed a cake for my husband's birthday and I wanted to get something a little more unique than a Costco cake. Looked on Yelp and saw Northstar's 5 star reviews and figured this would be a good opportunity to check it out. Great communication--Chef is fast at replying and he's super friendly in his emails. You can tell he is a happy and caring guy just based on his written responses. He also offers delivery for a small charge. I think we paid $20 which was worth it so I didn't have to worry about picking up a cake amidst a very busy schedule. Our cake was priced at $4-5/slice. Not cheap but it was reasonable. We got one mango and one strawberry. I sent photos of the theme we were going for, which was a Hawaiian theme. I wanted the cakes to look like a Hawaiian shirt. On the day of the event, Chef Metin delivered the cakes with a smile. I learned he used to be in the tech industry (I think he was a software engineer?) but now he does baking full time, which started out as a hobby. How fun! The cakes tasted great. We even had a few guests asking where we got them, to which we told them about Northstar Baking. My only area of improvement would be the look of the cakes. They didn't look like Hawaiian shirts and the color was a strange purplish-gray, which looked a little odd (though it doesn't look too bad in my photo). But I probably should have communicated a theme color or discussed the look better. But other than that, it was a unique cake and the guests were happy. Would definitely recommend Northstar and Chef Metin to friends and family!

Chocolate chip sea salt--perfection and my favorite. Great rich spin on a classic. Soft and tasty. A Fruity pebbles cookie--Tasted like cake. The fruity pebble cereal on top was slightly stale. Still good tho. A Mint chip cookie taste fluffy like a cake sandwich. Excellent combo mint and dark chocolate one is light and fluffy. Great flavor balance. The final flavor was a Lucky charm cookie-- It was very sweet with Lucky charm marshmallows on it. White chocolate chip cookie. Good just very very sweet. I recommend always sharing these cookies. Great value. Great delivery service.
