Year of the Snake is a friendly and fast pop-up bakery run by a mother and daughter. The chocolate chip and sesame cookie had a wonderful brown butter flavor, although a bit too sweet. Their Portuguese egg tart is described as life-changing, with silky smooth custard and a flaky crust. The Meyer lemon Japanese cheesecake was fluffy, and the salted egg yolk cookie was a unique and tasty treat. Customers also enjoyed the Korean army stew focaccia and the hazelnut baby cake given as a gift. The concrete sitting area outside allows guests to enjoy their treats, with the Salted Yolk Cookies being a favorite among many. Visitors praise the bakery for its innovative Asian fusion pastries and the lamination on the Chinese sausage & chive biscuit. The egg tarts are considered the best in the state, and many come regularly to enjoy the variety of cookies, cakes, and bread, supporting the bakery so it can keep offering these delicious treats for years to come.
