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've never heard of this place until my friend Jami had some birthday cupcakes from Dolce Vistav…read more(see pics!). I didn't think peanut butter frosting and banana cake would go together. 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. We will never forget her help as she is truly a class act and a terrific cake baker. Delicious.

It's as close to Starbread as you can get in my area. I've tried the donuts, mochi donuts, and…read morecronuts, some come with syringes of filling (cute idea in three flavors, I think) but I really only come here for the staxxs (seniorita bread). 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!

If you're not getting the mochi donuts, you're doing it wrong. This donut shop is an absolute gem!…read moreThe mochi donuts are perfectly chewy on the inside with a light crisp on the outside--such a unique texture you don't get from regular donuts. Every flavor I tried was fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet, which made it impossible to stop at just one. You can tell everything is made with care, and the quality really stands out. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the shop itself has a great vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Whether you're a donut lover or just curious about mochi donuts, this place is 100% worth the visit. I'll definitely be back for more!

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!

I know lemon bars use raw egg but this is horrible taste. Their almond based pastries use too much cheap almond essence and cherry based ones taste like cough syrup ! Please please don't call yourself French bakery... the French bakers would be ashamed to be associated. I am a huge sweet tooth and this place is very close to our house... so I got pastries thrice so far and every time I asked myself why, why did I have to kill my appetite like this ? Mam, respectfully... please.. you do not know how to bake. I love your sweet place and conversations with staff but hate those pastries to the core !!!!
