this place is very cute with a big reasonably priced menu. i liked the decor a lot and the seating options. this place just has a cute vibe. my cupcake honestly wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t bad.
I had a variety of mini cupcakes and the Vietnamese coffee. They were all delicious. Definitely a place to stop at if you have a sweet tooth. They also do regular lunch stuff but I was there for the sugar rush.

The food exceeded my expectations. It tasted fresh and made with care. Like something I would make at home if I really put a lot of effort into it. Coffee and cupcake made a great dessert. But I will definitely be back for lunch or brunch again

We've been here since they first opened and also frequented their arroyo locaiton before it closed down. Cupcakes sometime get be little dry
Most of the time is okay. Service if busy can be slow and cupcakes due run out of popular flavors like mint. Order ahead if option is available. I also wish they brought back daily meal dinner packages like when they had during covid. They were family meal kits ready to heat / eat. Our family enjoyed them a lot when it was offered.

This space is so cute. And the meals look reasonable. I ordered 1 dozen tiramisu cupcakes. This was a mistake. They were not good and tasted nothing like tiramisu. I'm not sure what the cake base was but it was not sponge cake, it was dense and hard and quite dry. The topper was odd too, I was expecting something with mascarpone. It was not dusted with cocoa powder but chocolate shavings which I did enjoy.
I will probably do a variety next time, I only ordered tiramisu cup cakes to share bc it was for my birthday and didn't want to deal with the hassle of a whole cake at a bar. Hopefully the variety will taste as good as they look. But maybe I won't come back, I kind of resent spending 40+ for a dozen terrible tasting cupcakes.

Came by to grab a cupcake after getting my nails done next door. Wow I have to say the place is GORGEOUS but the cupcake was nooooottttt good. It’s was dry, dense, and flavorless almost. The frosting was not good. You could ever seen the and taste the over baked edges in the cupcake. Cupcakes shouldn’t be crunchy….I got the funfetti one which was the “flavor of the day”. I wouldn’t come back unfortunately.
Breakfast was really good!

I came in after a DMV appt (Pasadena location) and it was great. I grabbed toast with berries and cream cheese and a Rose Latte with almond milk. Very nice spot to stop by and grab a coffee. Next time I will have to try a cupcake.

I came here specifically for the cupcakes, and I was not disappointed. I'm so happy they had mini sizes and I was able to try 5 flavors (without making myself sick!) My favorite was the fleur de sel cupcake with its hint of salt on top. The red velvet, peanut butter, chocolate strawberry, and cookies and cream flavors were all good too. Moist cake and not overly sweet frosting. If I didn't live 300+miles away, I'd be back for more!

It was so unfortunate, but the hospitality in this location is sad. The young woman working there looked angry and made it awkward. Made us uncomfortable, and felt transactional. We ordered the passion fruit cupcake, strawberry cupcake, two dog cupcakes, and the mint chocolate chip cupcake. The cupcakes were stale and dry, we were expecting to have them be soft and buttery. No flavor expect for the frosting. Was going to ask for a refund but I honestly just wanted to leave.
