“You’ll miss out if you haven’t tried this amazing cake heaven yet!! It has been my favorite and go-to place for the last 3-4 years and counting!
First of all, let’s talk about aesthetic! I love that the owner uses neutral colors and nicely accents it with plants, creating such a sanctuary! As a plant mom, I approve.
This cake place specialized in Mille crepe cakes with all the specialized flavors, such as durian, pork floss, matcha, crème brûlée, tiramisu, red bean mochi, etc. Their cakes are light, melt in your mouth and not so sweet! If you’re Asian, that’s the highest and best compliment for a dessert!
If you opt to eat your cakes in store, there are cute table arrangements for you to sit down and enjoy the plants. You can ask for a free pot of hot tea of your choice. The staff will make and bring the hot tea to you for safety reason.
I used to work close to What’s More and it has been my escape whenever work became unbearable. Something about their perfect and well made dessert and the ambience of the store itself always work like a charm every time. My stress melts away with every bite of delicious cakes.
They sometimes have seasonal items too such as soft persimmon mochis or molten cakes. Cakes also have limited quantities so make sure you come early :)
The owner is always happy to see you and has great service. One bonus thing is that they’re dog friendly so you may bring your pup too for an afternoon tea experience. And there’re always abundant parking spots around the store :)“
“We were planning for a last minute event and frantically started searching Yelp for someone who could bake us a custom cake with just a few days notice.Reached out to Shruthi, who was very responsive from the get go. She was able to accommodate our design and provide suggestions as well.She helped us with a cake and cake pops and also helped get it delivered.The cake looked beautiful and unlike other custom cakes we had ordered in the past (where the look compromised the taste), this one was equally yummy.The kids at the event also liked the cake pops.Overall we are really happy with the cake and service.Definitely recommend Shruthi :)“

“I've never actually been to the physical store but I've had their cake a few times from friends or relatives for special occasions. Classic asian style cream cakes that are moist and not too sweet which I love. Their cheesecake(?) was really rich and tasty and I also loved their Christmas chocolate matcha strawberry cream cake!“

“Came in at 6am for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed. This has been right in front of my house all these years and I finally walked in for some bakery goods.
I have no idea what I ordered, but pictures will tell. The piece with raspberry filling was nice and hot. Very good. Friendly service and I was even greeted with a Bueno Dias! Would come back.“
“I was fortunate enough to find Sepideh and her wonderful little shop and asked if she could make a special, custom cake for my wife's birthday. The process was fun and exciting. Sharing ideas and ultimately coming up with a cake that exceeded my wildest expectations! It was a huge hit and was simply a wonderful and fun thing to do. Also, it tasted great! Thank you so much for making everything so special. I will definitely be coming back soon!“

“I was looking for a bakery to get my 1 year old a cake, since it was last minute that we decided to get him a cake for his birthday today and I wasn’t expecting to find a place that would make it right on the spot, but I was lucky enough to find Nubia’s Pastelería..they told me that they only take orders but that since it was a small cake they would do an exception and decided to take my order and had the cake ready within 30 minutes. I was impressed, and the cake came out super delicious and the decoration was beautiful. Beyond my expectations! Thank You Ladies!“

“🥐 Exceptional Pastries and Authentic Persian Flavors
Kandoo Patisserie & Cafe is a standout destination for anyone seeking a true taste of traditional sweets. The first thing you notice upon walking in is the incredible aroma of rosewater, saffron, and cardamom, which sets the stage for what is a very high-quality experience. They offer a wide array of good pastries that are as beautiful to look at as they are to eat. It is rare to find a bakery that balances traditional methods with such consistent freshness, but Kandoo manages to do it perfectly.
🍯 A Deep Dive into Authentic Persian Desserts
What really makes this cafe special is its commitment to authentic Persian desserts.
The Classics: Their selection of Roulet (Persian Swiss rolls) is light and airy, while the Napoleon is crisp and layered with just the right amount of cream.
Specialty Ingredients: You can taste the quality in the ingredients they use—from the premium pistachios to the delicate floral notes that define Middle Eastern confectionery.
Balanced Sweetness: Unlike many commercial bakeries where sugar overpowers everything else, the treats here are subtle and refined, allowing the natural flavors of the nuts and spices to shine through.
Variety: Whether you are looking for dry cookies to pair with tea or decadent, cream-filled pastries for a special occasion, their display case is packed with options that cater to every preference.
☕ Atmosphere and Local Charm
The cafe itself has a warm, welcoming vibe that makes it a great neighborhood hub.
Cozy Seating: It is a nice spot to grab a tea or a Persian coffee and enjoy your pastry in a relaxed environment.
Helpful Service: The staff is knowledgeable and happy to explain the different types of desserts if you aren't familiar with the specific names or ingredients, which makes the experience very approachable for newcomers.
Great for Gifting: They also offer beautifully packaged boxes, making it an easy place to pick up a high-end gift for a dinner party or a holiday.
🥯 Final Thoughts and Recap
To recap, Kandoo Patisserie & Cafe is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates good pastries and wants to explore authentic Persian desserts. The quality is consistently high, and the flavors are incredibly traditional and well-executed. It’s the kind of place where you can tell the bakers take immense pride in their heritage and their craft. Whether you are a regular or trying Persian sweets for the first time, this cafe provides a 5-star experience that will keep you coming back for more.“

“I ordered a milk n cookie shake with whipped cream on top - it’s dangerously delicious. I had four e-gift cards, but I didn’t know which one still had a balance in it. When my first gift card showed a $0 balance, I offered to use my credit card. Cassandra encouraged me to try the other gift cards, so I greatly appreciate her for punching in all four of my gift cards. Finally, the fourth gift card had a balance in it. Taking her advice, I took a screenshot of it to use in the future.On a different note, the custom ice cream cakes are fantastic!“

“This was my first time at a lady M heard a lot of good things. Cakes are delicious as many mention. Tried a few different slices pistachio, coconut, passionfruit, and Ube, but really I was surprised by the customer service. The lady that helped us Thursday around noon (9/25)Was super friendly and helpful. She was patient as we tried to decide on the many choices. Didn’t catch her name, but her helpfulness and patience had us get more than we had anticipated lol. So I guess she did a good job.
She was also able to pack it with ice packs for us for a longer car drive !!!
Thank you!!! Mystery lady. Lady mystery? Or perhaps Lady M?“
