“Late December 2025 visit:
Dropped by on a Sunday morning when we visited the Cal Ave Sunday Farmer's Market. A bit hard to locate as the shop front didn't scream 'bakery' at us and we walked by at least 3 times looking for the address.

The young man helping us was very friendly and helpful in explaining the flavors to us!

We picked up 2 focaccia breads in black takeout boxes and ate them after a hike the next afternoon. Tasty but oily. Didn't find any truffle flavor but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Fun memory made better by the staff and his opinions on the savory focaccia bread.
The shop had cake in jars and cookies available as well.

I'd be interested in trying the sourdough bread loaves next time!“

“Best tasting gluten-free desserts I’ve ever had! I love the gf brownies!“

“Yesterday I purchased the guava coffee cake and tiramisu from The Kibler Elf at the Italian Festival in San Jose. Delicious!!! I can't wait to have more of their products. Yum yum yum yum yum!“

“The chocolate cream cheese cake was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!!! Simply amazing! I enjoyed the different textures and flavors that I got with each bite. I also tried the rose, raspberry, and pistachio cake which was light, refreshing, and delicious (and gluten-free), but with a different texture than the chocolate cake. Both cakes were so unique and delightful, but I especially love chocolate - and this particular chocolate cake was absolutely phenomenal!“

“We tried hokkaido sponge cake, crème brûlée, chestnut slice cake, tiramisu and chocolate mousse cake on various occasions. They all were delicious. The staff was also friendly. It’s hard to find parking due to the busy downtown location. The place gets crowded very quickly. Their egg tarts and buns are also popular.“

“This place is a hole in the wall. We ordered a slice of the following: matcha slice cake, tiramisu slice cake and black sesame slice cake. Omg. Their slice cake is a bit expensive but it so worth it. My favorite is the black sesame cake. My sister in law was the matcha cake. We had to order a cake for a birthday so guess what we ordered?“

“Everyone is really nice and food is consistent; however, this is the only location I have been to that has never had a mobile order ready. It's like they see it for the first time when it's puck up time which is often set at 20 minutes at the minimum“

“Very good quality for the bakery items, and their coffee is pretty good. However, there needs to be a system, where you just don't stand at the counter. Waiting for your coffee to come out, keeping the people behind you from paying just for their bakery items. Or Pete's. Other than that, it's amazing place.“
