The cakes at Sweet Orchid are absolutely delicious. I have only tried one cake there, the Taro cake and it was so fresh and the cake was fluffy and not overly sweet with the freshest whipped cream. My coworkers and I practically ate the whole cake in one sitting it was so good. If you like cakes that are not overly sweet with fresh ingredients, this is your place to go. You will be mmmm, mmmm, mmming with every bite.
I bought a chocolate cake for my father’s birthday. It was such a disappointment! The cake tastes like it has been there for at least several days. The body was so dry it feels hard to cut and there were even crumbles.This cake ruined the night completely. I will never ever buy anything from this shop. Stay away from it, I am 100% sure they let unsold cake sit for days.
The gelato was honestly the best I’ve had here!!
Had such a nice experience coming here for gelato!!The ice cream was delicious, of course! But despite the long line of customers, service was quick. You pick the gelato flavor from inside and you'll have it within seconds!
Delicious
On Halloween my spouse and I decided to go and find ice cream. And he had mentioned that there was an ice cream spot somewhere past Safeway on El Camino before getting to the mall. When we walked into this little ice cream parlor, it just felt like it was going to be delicious. We looked at the ice-cream and sorbetto and the colors were not neon. Meaning that it was not going to be artificial. Surely I was just extremely fascinated and decided to get a big cone with three scoops. I got one with rum, a cilantro lime and an orange sorbetto also. The cone didn't hold over very well because it wasn't push down enough. But I made sure to weld it by licking it keep it together. It was amazing. My spouse was a little more conservative and decided to go with two scoops in a cup. But I love ice cream and I highly recommend this little sweet orchid place. Also something that I like to actually at is that the girl who helped us was a very sweet and humble girl . Which I felt the need to give her a 20% since she was earning her money as a college student possibly.
Prices are a little on the expensive side for the product offered. It is worth trying, but I feel that the price to product ratio could be better.
Re:Quadruple chocolate cake. Been looking for an awesome chocolate cake after my favorite bakery closed. High hopes on this one. The ganache is awesome-creamy in a light sort of way. The cake was dry.
The gelato was so-so, definitely homemade but was not very rich at all. But it was the service that I found extremely sterile and it actually made me feel uncomfortable. Will not be returning.
Decently Good gelato

I bought a quadruple chocolate cake for a birthday and it was the best cake I've had for a long time. I asked where they order them from, but they're made by the store fresh! All the gelato is also made by the store and not imported from elsewhere. I meant to get a picture of the gelato cones we ordered, but I was too eager to eat it. Afterwards I had a cafe latte to round out the experience.
The customer service was super friendly.

I lived in fremont, ca years ago and had to have their taro gelato when I came to visit the other day. Still is amazing and delicious as I remember.
