“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 :)“

“A very small Asian bakery, where Egg Head used to be.
The mochi ball puff is very delicious. The mochi ball has a slightly chewy texture and is filled with cream that is not too sweet.
It is very dense and delicious, especially the chocolate cream with rice crackers that enhance the taste.
The cake looks beautiful and is available in smaller sizes. I will try it next time.
The Meatfloss Mini Sponge also tastes great, salty and sweet, 100% Asian flavor ,lol“

“Robin came through for my 70th birthday! Delicious Macarons made just for me! Highly recommend her!!“
“My wife and I online-ordered some goodies from Deja Vu recently. The best Chocolate Babka ever with lots of chocolate, a hint of cinnamon and very moist. They must have used a high quality of cocoa. You can taste the passion and love the chef put into her cakes. This is a local hidden gem!“
“THE BEST CAKE EVER!! I don’t normally leave reviews on google but Palo Alto Baking Company made me the best birthday cake I’ve ever had: I always grew up having a lemon cake with raspberry filling and marzipan instead of frosting as my birthday cake, but then I moved to Palo Alto for college. I called possibly every bakery in the bay, but no one could make it. When I called Palo Alto Baking Company, they made my cake on a week’s notice at a competitive price— doing a flavor they’d never done before and going out and buying marzipan (they didn’t have it on hand)— and it was literally the most delicious cake I’ve ever had. Soft, light, perfectly moist and perfectly sweet. Even people at my party who didn’t like cake, lemon, or marzipan LOVED it. When I went to pick up the cake, I was late and arrived after they had closed, so they sent a baker early the next morning (on a day they weren’t open) to get me my cake in time for the party. Exceptional service. I will be going to Palo Alto Baking Company for every cake for the rest of my life.“

“They have a great selection of desserts and tarts. We tried many items there and everything was excellent. We also ordered a kids custom cake and Sweet table of mini's and it turned out perfect! My personal favorites include the petits fours cookies, eclairs, vanilla cake with strawberries and their delicious coffee/ Lattes. Their breakfast and lunch sandwiches are a must try! They now also have Gelato! My husband recently placed a corporate catering order from them for a variety of breakfast and dessert items and was very happy as well. Highly recommend!“
“BethAnn did an excellent job for the cake for our daughter's wedding at Mountain Terrace in Woodside! The cake was in a naked cake style with lemon pucker up flavor. It was just the way the groom and bride requested it! BethAnn was easy to work with and accommodated their schedule for the tasting as they lived out of the state. We would recommend Studio Cake for your wedding!“

“🥐 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.“

“Very sigma ice cream store, the person who asks you what flavor for ice cream, then scoops the ice cream, then gives you the ice cream, then mans the cashier was nice. I think the small size is top large, I bet only the ultimate big back could finish it.“

“love this location! I have ordered custom ice cream cakes with photos at least 3 times over the years and they always do a great job. it's easy to order and send the photos online and then it can be done pretty quickly. and the manager and this location is also very understanding and helpful: one of the cakes wasn't looking as expected and there were only hours left before the party so he himself fixed it up.
thank you for this, and definitely will be back again. highly highly reccomend 😊“

“I must say after moving here from New York City, where Lady M originated, I am so impressed with this huge branch of Lady M because the Matcha latte with extra shot was so powerful and the Dubai chocolate crêpe dessert was amazing and I brought my whole family from a wedding party at the restaurant next-door over to Lady M and we all loved it and the service here is amazing! Over 20 family members started blasting the place and the servers were so patient and friendly even with the stress of all the new customers they were very friendly and efficient“
