    Yeah....the Chocolate mousse was all that. The Americano, from local coffee company Cloudland coffee, was strong and delicious. All of the in-house made cookies and treats looked great. The atmosphere on a Thursday afternoon, was quiet and relaxing. What else do I need to say? We'll be back....

    I have been meaning to try this bakery for a while now and glad I finally had a chance to! They are low carb, Keto friendly, sugar free, and gluten free bakery. Amazing, right? With so many yummy options to choose from, it took me a while to decide. I landed on four different treats: carrot cake, cinnamon roll, caramel brownie and a cookie. All of them were delicious, but I see why the carrot cake is a favorite! You wouldn't be able to tell it's low carb, keto friendly, etc. I also tried a strawberry lemonade which was refreshing. The service excellent. The staff was happy to answer my questions and explain some of the items. They also made great recommendations. Will stop by again when I'm in the area!

    My wife and I were really excited to try this place after reading other reviews as we prefer a low carb diet for the most part. I was able to get over to their location at the Serrano building on Abernathy Rd a few minutes before they closed at 4pm today. I wanted to try the red velvet cake but they were out. I decided to get several different items for us to try and settled on these items as a good test overall of what they have to offer: A plain bagel A piece of carrot cake 1 chocolate brownie 2 chocolate chip cookies Did I expect the items to be almost as good as the regular thing??? Well frankly from some of the reviews on this place--yes--- however in the back of mind I set my real expectations lower about was hoping that they would be 60-70% as good with the trade off being much lower carbs and sugar so it would be worth it. When I got home the first thing we tried was the bagel - at first I was concerned as it looked fairly small and somewhat flattish for a bagel-- anyway we gave it a try I tried it and their are 2 words to describe this bagel ---Absolutely Horrible. Imagine eating a bagel that has the texture of cornbread and that is what this bagel is. Frankly I would be embarrassed to put this out as a low carb substitute for a real bagel - if you can't even make it come say 50% as good to the real thing then why bother. This is a 0 compared to a real bagel in my opinion. Now onto the other items: The chocolate chip cookies - 1st bite impression was that it is about maybe 40% as good as a regular cookie but still had a strange texture and after taste. I only had 1 more bite after and decided it wasn't worth whatever calories it did have to finish it. The final result is I would much rather eat 1/2 (or less) of a real cookie than eat an entire one of these. Just frankly not that good for the price and calories it does have The chocolate brownie - 1st bite --about the same impression as the cookie- taste maybe 40% as good as a real brownie. My next thought is---I'd rather just have 1/2 (or less) of a regular brownie than 1 of these--even if they were the same price-- but there aren't -- these brownies cost twice to almost 3x what a regular brownie is. Even just eating a 1/4 of a regular brownie to save on sugar and carbs and calories would be better than eating one of these Next the Carrot Cake - the carrot cake looked good but when slicing it in half to share with my wife I noticed it was pretty crumbly. 1st bite impression was that it was fairly dry/crumbly. The icing was decent and had a nice texture but combined with the dry/crumble cake --the overall effect was not good. I tried 1 more bite from a different part of the cake slice but still same result --not very pleasing or satisfying. I stopped after the 2 bites and decided that it was not worth finishing Unfortunately about 10 minutes after trying all 4 items my wife and I both got sick to our stomach and had to go to the bathroom I really wanted to like this place. I was hoping to at least find a couple of items that were good Lo carb substitute for the real thing. Unfortunately it was a waste of $19.99

    Key lime cheesecake, Cinnamon Roll, chocolate cupcake - can't remember the other cupcake

    I found this place to be ok. As you can see from my pictures my cupcake was extremely dry, crumbly, and stuck to the paper upon trying to unwrap it. It tasted pretty stale, like it had been sitting out for a few days. Same was with the other cupcake and cinnamon role. Maybe the items are better fresh? The cheesecake was good though. I would like to add, no one in the building spoke to me until it was time for me to give my order. No hi, hello, anything. Very dry and bland customer service. For the price, I would not recommend.

    I stopped by Zambawango today to pick up a snack for the team. The shop is local and owned by women so I wanted to support! Also, the food is largely low carb/gluten free! I ordered an assortment of huge cookies, a spinach and feta bagel(delicious), and homemade Oreos. Each ran $2-3. The team loved them! No one knew they were low carb until I mentioned it. They went fast. Also picked up a yummy latte. The bakery/cafe is located on the plaza level of an apartment complex. I turned right on Abernathy, into the complex, then followed the sign for free retail parking and walked right inside.

    Excellent Caramel Latte Cake - 4.5 Carbs, KETO & Gluten Free that didn't make it home ha!

    I have been on a health journey for about 5 years now keeping off around 50lbs. I am looking to take off more! This place is a heaven sent! There aren't many options for ppl who practice a ketogenic lifestyle. Baking with almond flour is extremely difficult let me tell you! Now that I am no longer eating sugar on the consistent basis many desserts are very sweet and very difficult to eat. I still crave a sweet option from time to time. The service was amazing the store was immaculate! The desserts came freshly made. The service was excellent. The receipt even included the net carbs for each item!!! The price point is bar none. Amanda was pleasantly welcoming and very knowledgeable. Amanda even explained the meaning behind the restaurant's name which is "Anything is possible" which is certainly true now that this establishment has blessed our community!

    This place is known for keto friendly, carb free, healthier dessert options. As a sweets connoisseur I had to come check it out. I ordered a bday cake swirl, chocolate cake bite, kitchen sink cookie, and carrot cake. They all were good, but like in an okay way. The chocolate cake was by far my fave because it had a rich, dense flavor. The other treats were decent. I wouldn't say the items I had were like "oh my gosh" good, but it definitely works as a healthier dessert option.

    The baked goods case. Bagels, cakes, etc.
    Kiki K.

    This was a long awaited visit. We tried to visit 3 years ago but never made it. So glad they have weathered the pandemic. Tons of low carb, keto baked goods options. Tiny human picked out a brownie pop. I got a St. Patrick's Day cookie. Cute store. And they ship! Excited to try the rest of the bagels, cinnamon rolls and coffee cake we bought. Fun bit - they list the carb count of each item on the receipt.

    Stopped by here on a crispy Saturday morning to get coffee and try some healthy desserts. We ordered the carrot cake, raspberry zebra brownie, jalapeño cheddar bagel, and brewed coffee. The carrot cake is super crumbly but the flavor is pretty spot on. The icing is sweet and creamy. The brownie texture is looser than a normal brownie but for one that's low carb and gluten free, it's pretty good. The last item is arguably the best one we had- the jalapeño cheddar bagel. To call us a bagel is a bit of a stretch but since it's also a slightly crumbly texture that's held together by the cheddar cheese. Flavor is good and worth trying tho!! Coffee is somewhat unmemorable but when I asked for milk, they offered steamed milk in lil cups which was very nice. The service is very kind and friendly, we were met with cheery attitude that was appreciated. Overall, worth the visit if you're looking for some low carb and gluten free dessert substitutes!

    Yummy dessert options

    Lmao, so I spent $65 here, and you're probably thinking what did you buy or that's expensive?!? As a first timer, I wanted to try it ALL because some of the reviews had me on the fence. thank god I didn't listen to the negative Nancy's. CLEARLY, the less than 5 star reviews have to be from grouches and people with eh tastebuds. BECAUSE YALL. I tried a bite of it all, and it is WORTH EVERY PENNY. The cakes are moist. The cookies, yummy. If you don't try all of it, atleast try the TIRAMISU or CHEESECAKE. I really can't believe it. They are heaven. The texture is so good. The brownie crust. I mean. COME ON. And the low carbs/ no sugar/ no cow milk. Literally Dreamville. SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. Support this business!!!!!!!

    Joshua B.

    It was so bad. Very disappointing. Better luck making your own gluten free foods at home and using monk fruit sweetener to sweeten. This store would turn me off completely from gluten free and sugar free if I did not know there was better tasting healthy foods available.

    Are there any dairy-free pastries available?

    Do they allow dogs, specifically if I wanted to bring my small dog in with me to grab a cup of coffee to go is that allowed or do I have to leave her outside?

    If your small dog is in a carrying case that is fine, we don't allow dogs or other pets otherwise. Thank you for your question and hope to see you soon!

    Does anyone know if they take whole cake orders?

    Yes, they do. If you're trying to get a Thanksgiving order in today is the last day to place a order.

During our first visit, we ordered the Kulfi Slice Falooda, which is advertised as containing rabdi and costs $8.50. However, what we received was simply sliced kulfi, falooda, and syrup. I specifically asked the server if rabdi had been added because I couldn't taste or see any. He assured me that it was included, but I honestly don't believe it was. I've had rabdi many times and know exactly how it tastes and looks. I was willing to pay the price because I expected the dessert to include all the ingredients listed on the menu. A few weeks later, we decided to give the place another chance and ordered the Chocolate Brownie Sundae. Unfortunately, it was another disappointment. It consisted of a very small piece of what seemed like a store-bought brownie, a small scoop of ice cream, and a few toppings. At $8.49, it simply wasn't worth the price. What really put us off, though, was a comment made by the server to our six-year-old daughter. She wanted to sample an ice cream flavor before choosing one, which is something most ice cream shops happily allow. The server made a remark implying that she just wanted to taste the ice cream without buying it. We found that comment unnecessary and inappropriate, especially when directed at a child. Overall, the desserts felt overpriced for what was served, and the customer service left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
