Such an ADORABLE little cafe selling adorable little asian flavor cakes! I lovedd the minimalistic interior design, and it was very clean! We came around 2:30pm on a Sunday though and they were sold out of the jasmine green tea cake that we wanted to try :( But a little bit after we got the black tea cake, they put out a couple more jasmine green tea cakes. So I guess they are baking throughout the day, and it's kinda a game of luck to stumble across the one you want at the right time. The black tea cake was still very yummy. The earl grey taste was super strong and it wasn't too sweet! If I was being really picky, the cake itself was a little dry, but it was still good! It was a pretty small cake, it looks much bigger in the pictures. We also tried the matcha latte, but I would not recommend that. It tasted like they didn't use high quality matcha so it tasted very grainy and milky. I could sit here all day and yap with friends.
Such a smooth & fast process ordering a custom cake from Topi! I ordered the bear cake with a custom jasmine tea pistachio flavor inside and it delivered. It was a beautiful cake with fluffy interior and subtle tea taste. I was reminded of Molly Tea's matcha pistachio! The picture really says it all! It's such a cute cake!
Went here to pick up a small pastry during October. They had very cute, aesthetic pastries. It wasn't too sweet.
Very good cakes! Light with a splash of fruit. Jasmine cake was the best. The grapes on top provided a good balance to the texture and flavor.
Wow, let me tell you. First thing I saw after I came inside was the display case and I was shocked!! The cakes were soooo small and tiny. It was laughable that was the price for it. I was super excited to try this place because we frequent MJ Sushi next door on a weekly basis, but can never catch them open. I'm a bit sad now after I got to experience them. Otherwise, inside was cute and pretty. The worker was young and needed a bit more customer service training but she was nice overall. A bit overwhelmed when one of the cakes wasn't in the pricing system, which is understandable. Management should have added it before releasing the cake. The flavors are innovative, but what makes them justify the price. We tested two cakes and they were good but I'm not sure if I will be back.
Walked past Topi while in the neighborhood and I have a big sweet tooth so we stopped by. It's a cute shop with plenty of indoor seating and a nice, cool temperature. I had to try the Oreo dishes because I love Oreo. The desserts were all good, but I honestly wish that they were a bit sweeter. The desserts themselves are unique and have a fun selection that people can try new things they may not otherwise have been able to try.
Decided to pick up a cake for my partners bday. It was empty on a Wednesday afternoon but was convenient near my workplace. The cafe is super aesthetically minimal which I loved. The lady at the cashier seemed to pay no attention to me asking about the prices or let alone helping me. I thought the 6" size was perfect but tell me why it was $80?? i can get the same size cake at Paris baguette for half the price. (I guess that's Palo Alto prices for ya). I opted for just the 3" Jasmine green tea cake and their peach oolong mini box cake. Peach oolong - tasted like a plain, dry sponge cake with plain whip cream and bits of peach topping. I also didn't like the jelly bits sprinkled on top, it didn't pair well together. For $9, it was bland and was nothing special. Jasmine green tea- was ok. not sure if I liked the pistachio nuts inside the cake. Again, the sponge texture with the nuts made it seem dry. The whip was nothing special. I only enjoyed how crunchy the grape toppings were, but jasmine green tea flavor where??? Again, it tasted plain. For $28, I expected way more for how nice their presentation was. It was really underwhelming imo. Would I be back? Probably not. I'd say there are better tasting desserts for cheaper prices.
Med have tried this a few times now. Nice selection of small cakes with creative flavors. This time we had tiramisu, peach oolong, and melon yuzu. The sponge cake base is light and overall the sweetness of the cakes are in the more subtle side which allows the fruit and tea flavors to take a more central role. Moderate high price, but pretty in line with Palo Alto area.
I will have to disagree with the majority: I did not like the jasmine green tea cake or the scone. And I wouldn't come back to give anything else a try after being disappointed. Jasmine green tea cake: Where is the jasmine green tea? I could hardly taste it! The cake layers tasted like basic vanilla (if it was infused with tea... then I didn't taste it), the pistachio layer really overpowered the other flavors, and the matcha custard layer barely had matcha flavor. It also costs $16 for this tiny 3 inch cake... ouch. Earl grey cream cheese "scone": Definitely not a scone, in the true sense. It's more like an early grey infused cookie with cream cheese filling. It doesn't have a strong tea flavor profile, probably because the cream cheese flavor is overpowering it. Overall disappointed and I do not agree with the hype.
I ordered a cake over the phone with Topi Cakes since their online order hasn't been set up yet and it was still a fairly easy process. She was able to take my order and payment through Zelle. I ordered their 5" green tea jasmine cake. Upon pick up, the staff were super friendly and had my order out quickly. We had a chance to check out the rest of the cake shop and it was just so cute. I do want to come back to try their coffee and boxed cake. The cake was very unique and delicious. I didn't know it was going to have a layer of matcha which was a nice touch. My favorite was the pistachio layer. Overall, it was a beautiful, delicious cake and the customer service was great!
I have been meaning to try out this cake shop after hearing they opened a store recently. Stopped by yesterday (Christmas Eve) to pick up some desserts last minute for my family. The inside of the cafe was minimalist and cute -- with lots of indoor seating and great lighting! I ordered two cakes to go: 3" jasmine green tea cake and 3" black tea cake. I took them to-go and I appreciated how the lady packed them with a lot of care to make sure they would stay put! The cakes were DELICIOUS and I loved how you could really taste the tea flavor in both cakes. My family was blown away by the flavor and my Chinese mom gave it the "not too sweet" seal of approval! One thing I did want to note was that the price is a little steep -- the 2 cakes came out to be $32 after tax. But with the amount of detail on the cakes and the unique rich flavors, I think it is well worth the price! It is one of the few Chinese cake shops I know of, and I can see the amount of care and energy that is put into all of their cakes! I'm so glad that Topi opened up a store and I am so excited to try more of the cake options in the future!
A creative new bakery with not too sweet tea based cakes but with a twist! THE CAKES! 10/10 my favorite was the black tea cake which had surprise chocolate rice krispy pieces in the center! It was a really welcome textural change, and it surprisingly complemented the black tea very well. The sponge is still light but denser than a typical Asian sponge cake, more like a Japanese style sponge you would see in a roll cake. 9/10 jasmine green tea cake had a beautifully fragrant cream, but once you ate it all together, the green tea gets lost in the pistachio and juicy green grapes. A super unique combination, but I wish the green tea got to shine more since it's such a delicate flavor. 8/10 peach oolong box cake was lightly sweet and so cute. The twist was the crystal boba intermittently dispersed throughout the cake, which was a nice textural change up. This had the lightest tea flavor of the three I tried. I thought it was fragrant at the beginning but by the end, it just tasted like regular cream. My husband couldn't taste the tea at all. The cakes are definitely pricey, but this is the only bakery that offers these flavors as far as I know! The packaging is beautiful if you're taking it to go, and it comes with a little wooden spork on the side. The servers were very nice but still new and trying to figure out how to use the register. And the bakery itself is nice and spacious and would be a cute place to dine in and enjoy your sweet treat! I'm definitely coming back to try their other flavors.
Great tasting cakes that aren't very sweet. However the 3" ones seem too small for the $16 price? There's too much cream and not enough cake.

Bought the sea salt Oreo cake for birthday and it was absolutely amazing! Very skeptical at first from people saying it wasn't sweet enough, but maybe it's because I grew up in Asia but this dessert is perfect! It's not too sweet and not bland! Would absolutely buy again! The store looks small on the outside but is very cute on the inside. The women working there were also very nice! read more
We ordered Topi Cakes for my friend's birthday. I knew I had to order from here since I saw the bear shaped cake on the website and the unique Asian inspired flavored cakes. I order online via the website and it was so easy to use. My husband picked the cake up for me and they included an insulated bag and icepack. Jasmine matcha tea and pistachio cake - this cake blew me away honestly. The cream is light, milky, and creamy. The jasmine flavor has a strong floral essence. The pistachio adds a nice nutty flavor that is perfect for pistachio fans. The cake itself is moist and light. Its also not too sweet so it feels less guilty. I will definitely be ordering from here again. The puppy cake is just too cute! I wish they offered more size options. read more
If a cake gets the Asian approval of "not too sweet," you know it's good. This spot is so my type. I love the Asian cake aesthetic and flavor, so this strawberry cake had my heart. Light, fluffy, cute, and actually delicious. Also appreciated the thoughtful service that they offered me ice packs for the drive home, which was such a nice touch. Btw they also have a lovely indoor dining space. read more

Hi Priscilla,…
What amazing peach oolong cake!!! It's perfectly not too sweet with a great balance of cream and cake. I want to try all of their flavors! Their soybean one is also good but wasn't as stand out as the tea flavored one. They also do wedding cakes it seems so I definitely want to do a tasting with them! read more
I had saw this place online and stopped by to do some work. I ordered the peach oolong box cake which also had crystal boba within the cake and cream layers. The flavor is very subtle and the cake is airy. The staff were friendly and nice. The interior is minimalist and simple with some seating. It also wasn't too busy when I went on a weekday. read more
Very cute chinese bakery. Saw a tiktok and was in the area to check out! It has a very cute exterior and wooden accent interior. They have mochi sesame mochi box cakes, chestnut cake, and jasmine tea 6 inch cakes. Got the jasmine green tea one. It has alot of light cream. It was difficult finding the cake, there r layers of green tea gelatin inside and pistachios deep inside. I like the flavor, very light sweetness. It was just alot of creme for me but i still enjoyed it! Would def recommend to check out! The cakes r recommended to enjoy within 24 hrs. And box cakes i think have a slightly longer shelf life. They have 4 long tables inside but of two people take it doesnt seem open for others. They also have a window bar area seating. read more

The service and ambiance were great. The location was clean and very maintenance. A bit expensive but what good dessert place isnt. My friends and i got (4) dessert 1) Jasmine Green Tea Cake - 4/5 Very flavorful Jasmine, kinda lika Molly Tea Jasmine. if you like Matcha and pistachios, it was nice surprise inside. Only issue is make sure to eat from top down, there is a film holding it in place 2) Hojicha Genmaicha Cake - 5/5- Biased as i loved crispy rice and hojicha. I liked the fan it was in a cup and you add the crispy rice on top. See video 3) Black Sesame Mochi Cake Box 1 - 5/5- also biased cause mochi was good and black sesame is amazing. 4) Soy Milk Box Cake- 3/5 - the Soymilk was very subtle so try this one first before you try the others as it will underwhelm compared to the others. read more

My sister ordered the jasmine green tea cake for me and apparently the ordering process was a bit difficult since her calls weren't being picked up and the website was down. I think she eventually got through on her fifth try. We opted for no pistachio but the cake itself was pretty good. The texture was super fluffy and moist. The jasmine tea flavor mostly came through in the cream and was not overly sweet but just right. I enjoyed the matcha and grapes too. The only downside was the price. It's definitely on the pricier side so I was a bit disappointed that the cake was slightly uneven/tilted when we got it. Overall, I'm not sure it was worth the price but it's still a nice cake to try. read more

I picked up the 3" Black Tea cake which came out to $15.55 after tax. I was looking at the display and a staff member kept on asking me if I was ready to order (in Chinese) - I was feeling a bit pressured, especially since there was no one else in the shop at the time! The shop is very cute and the packaging is really nice especially for take home. However, I was very disappointed by the cake itself. It is too heavy on the cream and too light on the cake. The first bite I took was all cream! It is very tea heavy, which is pleasant, but the candy layer in the middle made the cake dry and dense. For the price, I was disappointed - I would probably not try this shop again; there are less expensive and more reliable options elsewhere for half the price. read more

We bought two 6" signature cakes from Topi Cakes for my parent's birthday and their anniversary. Both cakes were fresh, light, fluffy, and not overly sweet. The Jasmin Green Tea cake was gorgeous and the crowd favorite was the delicious Japanese Hojicha Genmaicha cake. I went to the store to order the cakes 4 days in advance. All staffs were friendly and helpful from ordering to pickup. This is our new go-to bakery!! read more

I went to Topi Cakes and bought three cakes--the peach oolong cake, the taro mochi cake and the black tea cake. The peach oolong was very pretty and very delicate tasting. The taro mochi cake was my partner's favorite due to the strong taro taste. The black tea cake was my favorite and had a very rich black tea taste contrasted with crunchy cookie bits. The service was friendly and the ambiance was minimalist. Overall, a very cute shop with great cakes! read more

Super impressed by the quality of these cakes. It's not too sweet and the flavors (like the matcha and cookies & cream) are super strong. Designs are also super cute - have no complaints whatsoever! read more
