OMG Y'all! I just had one of the best cheesecakes! I'm still remembering the last creamy…read moredelicious bites I had and wished I had gotten a chance to get more! I was looking for a treat for my dad's birthday and came across Maple St. Cheesecakes in Yelp. The pics and reviews looked wonderful- I think I "liked" all of the pics during my browsing. My dad chose the walnut ganache flavor - it has a layer of ganache followed by whipped cream, toasted walnuts and sprinkled with more ganache and sea salt. YUM. Needless to say, it was a HIT! Maple Street Cheesecakes has definitely made my top cheesecakes list and let me tell you why: -The owner Marina is so awesome and sweet - she responded to my inquiry right away and was so nice and helpful with the menu, and ordering/pick up logistics. She also provided updates on my cheesecake and gave me nice recommendations. Also, it looks from their website, her and her partner (Brent) are a dynamic duo with this awesome business (she is the owner/content creator and he is the baker.) - Menu looks SO tasty on the website - I totally want to try them all- they offer a mini quad set where you can try 4 flavors. I want to try the pecan and lemon! (recommended by Marina) - Ordering logistics was easy peasy- you order online, schedule a pick-up day/time and Marina brings out the cheesecake to you at their address. They also deliver! - Taste, presentation and creativity. Absolutely delicious- it really is love at first bite with the perfectly baked creamy cheesecake, toasted walnuts, chocolate ganache drizzles, and yummy graham cracker crust. It was packaged neatly and was a perfect dessert for 6 adults (2 had seconds so technically enough for 8 with big slices!) I can't wait to try the other flavors. Marina and Brent have a magical thing going with Maple Street Cheesecakes. Please support this local business - you will absolutely love their cheesecakes!!

As Pastel wound down, my friend happened to order something from here. Knowing the number of…read moreopportunities was limited, I joined her in finding something, coincidentally the same item that she ordered. I paused for only a day after picking it up in trying the guava cheese scones (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6zUCytWzCDDCG3fREWgEMw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), I ate my first one as is (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=l0wRu-R-cRi7FeekzUBv0g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and was surprised by the flavors, a mix of savory and sweet in the aftertaste. Not sure whether the savory part came from the cheese but it was certainly tasty. A few days later, I ate one and it just wasn't quite the same as the flavors were muted. I suggest reheating them in the oven if you don't have it right away. Do refrigerate them if you do not eat it right away. I was tempted to try the Afternoon Tea box but my primary doctor wouldn't appreciate me getting this for my family and me. I will keep my eyes open on other menu items and alternative ways to try her foods.

So I didn't buy these pies from Sweet Condesa, but got them as a treat from my bro, so I can't…read morereview the ordering process nor can I comment on the price, but I can review the mini pies that we received. ~ Calamansi Pie ~ The flavor of calamansi is definitely there. Think lemon/key lime like custard a tart lovely flavor, but it was just overtly sweet. I'm not a huge fan of super sweet things as it gives me immediate headaches. The crust was not really a crust. It fell apart as we put a fork in it. ~ Barako Coffee Pie ~ Like the calamansi pie, it was just so sweet. I would say I prefered the "crust" on this. It was very much more like a cookie/brownie like chew. Then there's a layer of a coffee custard. So think a custard filled cookie/brownie. I don't know if you could really call this a pie, but hey, it's in a pie tin...so I guess you could call it a pie. O V E R A L L I won't shun cakes or pies away. I just couldn't eat more than a bit without having a sugar headache. But if you do have a sweet tooth, then by all means, try them out! I'm not going to be finding my way to get more pies from here, just can't handle the sweetness...

The food was fantastic -- friends were still raving about it weeks later! We really appreciated the variety of options for different diets: salmon, fried tofu, and fried chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so well-prepared. And I also loved the biscuits: so flaky and buttery. The portions were generous without being too much- we had just the right amount of leftovers, which speaks to both how good the food was and how well Ben calibrated the number of guests.

I started shopping for a sno cone machine rental yesterday afternoon, when I thought about hiring a food truck with cold desserts. I called Lisa last minute (last evening) to see if there was even a chance she could come today. She was able to squeeze us in between two other events. She showed up as committed, right at noon, and was ready to serve up ice within a minute of parking. The team loved the child-like opportunity to dispense and mix their own syrups. I loved that there were sugar-free options. The cups are large servings, the syrups are flavorful without being overly sweet, and the truck is festive in how it's wrapped. It's a whole vibe. Even though Lisa had to get to another appointment, she didn't rush, and was attentive to each person. She kept me abreast of how many cups we had left, so we could make sure to get to everyone. The whole experience was reasonably priced for the experience. We would have paid at least half of what we spent to rent a machine, and then had to buy ice and bottles of syrup if we wanted much variety. And we would have been spending our time serving sno cones rather than enjoying the experience. Having Kona Ice come was well worth the price paid. Paying was also easy, as she takes Apple Pay, Venmo, etc. Thanks, Lisa, for making this surprise possible! We'll see you again, for sure!
