I signed up for my daughter and her dad to attend Macaroon class. Both came back with delicious macaroon and shared their enjoyment experience during the class. Next day, they tried baking Macaroon on their own. Even without having all the proper equipment, they were able to make the Macaroon very soft and delicious. Thank you, Natalie, for having my daughter and her dad in class. The cost for the class is fair ($85/person). I know a lot of people are interested in joining your class. The only issue is the distance is too far from their homes. I wish you will offer more variety of classes throughout the year.

I always like checking out what's new here when I'm in the area. Everything I've tried on the menu has been great, but especially love the matcha Oreo macarons and their other Asian-inspired flavors. Give their Instagram a follow too--whoever's running their account is hilarious and doing a great job!

I give one star because the don't have a parking lot
The macarons and desserts are fantastic. The cartoon macarons are so cute and I get them for special occasions. The drinks menu is a bit limited though. The place is cute and has seating for a nice date. Everyone who works there is very nice.
They also have some cute products like Chinese books and stickers and such.
Kid-friendliness: Cute macarons and claw machine.

Ruby is best girl. She takes time to get to know her guests and makes the drink, following their requests, but with the same love if she were to make the drink for herself. Almost everyone there is as friendly as Ruby, but she deserves a personal shout out!
The baked good are also delicious, especially the seasonal creme brulee macaroon, but their creme brulee is also a delight. I can't decide whats better, their creme brulee or their soufflé cheesecakes.
Pro tip: Don't go on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

Strong YES to Always Yours! A lot of bakeries look good but disappoint, not this place. All the baked goods I have tried are worth it. The boba drinks are good too, real tea flavor and not just sugar-milk like a lot of boba. They care about quality and it shows, give them a try!

I ordered a gender reveal cake for my sister and her husband and the experience was fantastic! Natalie was incredibly kind, and the entire ordering process was super easy. The cake was absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out thanks to Cheska :). I also got a Oreo crème puff for my boyfriend and I, and it was delicious. I actually drove from morgan hill and I can’t wait to go back to try more sweet treats !! 10/10

I’ve ordered my daughter’s 5th and 6th birthday macaron cookie cakes from Always Yours Bakery, and they’ve been absolutely perfect both times! The macarons are not only delicious but also beautifully made. My daughter especially loved their BTS 10th Anniversary event, where they created adorable BTS character macarons and even picture macarons—such a creative and fun touch!
On top of that, I’m so grateful to the owner, Natalie, for generously sponsoring some macarons for my church’s fundraiser. It really meant a lot to us. This bakery has truly become my go-to whenever family and friends visit. Amazing service, gorgeous desserts, and a real sense of community—I can’t recommend Always Yours Bakery enough!

I got to take the Macaron class and Natalie was absolutely amazing! Not only was she knowledgable, but connected really well with everyone and we lots of laughs and jokes. It felt like hanging out with a friend, plus we got tasty treats at the end of it! I'm definitely thinking about asking her to support us with a team building activities at work in the future!

Wonderful dessert choices. My daughter is infatuated with their macaroons. I love their Tiramisu cups (yummy) my son loves the oreo cream puffs as well. The atmosphere is nice and if they are a family run business their family works very well together.
Kid-friendliness: They have animal decorated macaroons cupcakes and more for the kiddos

The customer service was decent and the fruit pebble is good and Ube cake is good but some of the workers are very unprofessional to girl Asian girls using there phones and not washing hands when making drinks and no wearing gloves and goofing around this is a bakery and you employees are very rude up front then you want to wonder why your things aren’t orders on time

I knew that I wanted a dessert table for our reception and was trying to find someone local. I happened to find Always Your Bakery through Instagram and reached out about a package. Natalie is well known for her macarons and she opened her own bakery in Castro Valley a few years ago. I contacted her about a tasting box and she put together an assorted box of desserts and 4 cake flavors of our choice. Everything was delicious so we decided to book one of her wedding packages. She was even really flexible with a few modifications to the package to better suit our needs. We discussed the cake design and I had sent her a few photos of what I was thinking of.
On the day of our reception, we were dealing with a heat wave but my coordinator was able to work with Natalie to have a later delivery time. The dessert table was set up beautifully and we had a cake topper that she was able to add to the cake. We chose chocolate for the top cake layer and the bottom was vanilla w/strawberry, our desserts were strawberry cream puffs, tiramisu cups, and fruit tarts. Most of the desserts and the top cake were gone by the end of the night! I wish we set aside some of the chocolate cake as we only had a few bites after cutting the cake. One of the best signs of good dessert is my Asian dad going back for seconds! Highly recommend AYB if you are looking for quality, affordable dessert tables for your wedding or events.
