    These worth $64? Even the desserts in Ralph's are better than these!
    Yining Z.

    Do NOT book! I ordered one dozen cake pops and two dozen dessert shooters for my wedding. The desserts themselves looks so bad, not as the picture posted on yelp at all! What is worse! I asked her to deliver at 3:30pm on August 24. But I cannot contact her until 7pm! I called her so many times! But she always tell me she is on the way. The desserts delayed almost 4 hours! All of my guests arrive at 5pm! She said she was busy with so many other events on my wedding day. I guess that is the reason why my desserts look so bad and also it is the reason for delay. Not recommend at all! She is so irresponsible!

    It doesn't make me happy to give a bad review, but I was so disappointed that I felt compelled to leave this review even though it's been 2 years. I hired Heather to bake a cake as a surprise for my sister's baby shower. The following are the major issues: 1. We did not receive a single compliment on the appearance or taste of the cake, but several people did mention that the frosting was difficult to eat and tasted like rubber. The whole bottom portion of the cake was left uneaten. 2. The appearance of the cake was very unprofessional and looked nothing like the sample photo she sent me to quote the price. It was missing baby shoes, pink ribbons and beads, and baby block designs. The cake also had oddly colored and placed polka dots. 3. Heather told us to come no later than 1pm to pick up cake, we came at 12:45pm and had to wait in the hot car for 40 mins while she did a rush job on the cake. Worst of all, even after I brought all these concerns to Heather's attention she refused a partial discount, but rather offered me $20 towards her services in the future, which of course I declined.

    Chocolate covered strawberries

    Absolutely loved these!! Very sweet, called back right away and delivered with kindness. Thank you so much! Will be ordering again

    Amazing customer service, delicious cake and fast! Heather went above and beyond to celebrate the combo Birthday Cake-Album drop for our USC Senior. She even added plates, napkins and forks for this hungry group of Resident Advisors! Will definitely order online again from Nebraska. Catherine K

    Everything was perfect from the outside designs and details to the taste, everyone loved the cake pops, and strawberries! I highly recommend ordering with her I will definitely be ordering again and the customer service was great

    Do not book!!!!!!! She showed up when my wedding was over with the desserts I ordered and only showed up with half of the desserts. Not to mention they all looked store bought. Spend the extra money on an actual professional, don't book the sweet life. Update: posted a bad review previously, she called me apologizing and offered to provide desserts for another event for free. I agreed, never showed up and never responded to any of my messages. There you have it.

    Delicious and so so pretty! Great customer service. The guests were in awe of the beautiful desserts. Thank you so much! would definitely recommend and book again :)

    Another view...beautiful presentation

    I needed a box of chocolate covered strawberries as part of a 20th anniversary gift and was struggling to find a place open after 5pm. I hit the jackpot with The Sweet Life! She created a beautiful box in no time at all and it was the perfect compliment to my bottle of wine. The place was a little hard to find, but definitely worth the trip. Plus, it feels good to support small, local businesses. I'll be back!

    Dessert Bar for Wedding
    Lia L.

    Absolutely loved my dessert bar for my wedding. Heather did an amazing job. It was set up beautifully. I was lucky enough to try a cake pop which was yummy. The bar did not last long. The table was completely cleared shortly after it opened around dinner time. So I think it's safe to assume the rest of the desserts were delicious! The best part is Heather's prices are very reasonable. I had a budget and she was able to work with it and did an amazing job.

    Pamper Party treats
    Aja D.

    I have ordered 3 times with the last year and everything tastes good and looks good. It is easy to contact Heather and pick up. I heard she even delivers so I will probably use that option for my next event. I have ordered aFORTNITE cake, POLISH AND PAMPER party theme treats and Thanksgiving desserts (cheesecake and lemon icebox pie).

    Shadi S.

    Heather's desserts are amazing!! I had a baby shower last year and she custom designed the most beautiful cake pops, cookies, and dessert shooters. They were absolutely delicious. Everyone at my shower kept asking about them. The only mistake I made was not ordering more! The Now it's time for my daughter's first birthday and I'm ordering from her once again. I highly recommend this place!

Parking is pretty difficult, and valet is $5. I can easily see the parking lot getting gridlocked on a busy day. I sampled a few of their gelato flavors, including the jasmine lychee and soy sauce. Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

And they are so sweet and do not rush anyone, you can stay here as long as you want. My friends and I WFH so we decided to Work From MemoryLook (WFML) one day together. I'm glad we did! Great pastries in the morning, i had the cremme brûlée donut which had tons of filling, and the pea foam matcha latte which was fantastic. And I had an EXCELLENT chicken Chipotle wrap at lunch that was recommended to me by the gentleman working at memory look. I'm not certain where these wraps are made. Another gentleman would bring them from the building in the same complex. I LOVED my wrap. They have a ton of seating outside too but there aren't any outlets out there so it's harder to WFH out there unless you're fully charged. But was great for separate meetings we all had to attend. The photobooth was fun but we were so thrown off by it taking 8 photos, we had no idea how many poses we would have to come up with hahaha. I would definitely come back here anytime!

Parking is also pretty convenient with a good amount of spaces available. When I visited, though, there weren't many desserts on display. For drinks, they don't offer a double matcha option, but you can order a matcha latte with Einspänner cream instead. The drink itself was good, although I found the prices a little higher compared to other matcha spots I've tried. Service was on the slower side, and it took a while for the drinks to come out. The staff were okay, but not particularly friendly. (+) Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, convenient parking (-) Pricier than other matcha spots, slower drink preparation, and no double matcha option

The chairs are also not quite comfortable and the establishment is extremely echoing. Regardless I do think they have the best Bingsu so I will not be picking to go anywhere else!

There's a bingsoo place we LOVED in Dallas called "Wicked Snow" and this is the closest we've had to Wicked Snow. I enjoyed the texture of Anko's bingsoo more than other places I've tried. We got 3 flavors: strawberry mascarpone, mango & hojicha. I usually love anything mango flavored but surprisingly I enjoyed the strawberry one the most! - it tasted very natural/not artificial. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. I still enjoyed the mango as well but this one actually tasted a big more artificial, but the fresh mango was perfectly ripe & added a good amount of sweetness. Hojicha was good too but definitely more "nutty" - still great if you don't want anything fruity! Staff were nice and even tho there was a bit of a wait for the desserts, it didn't take too long for them to come out. We surprisingly got lucky with street parking but they also have valet parking available. Will 100% be back and trying the taiyaki next time!
