I recently visited this charming bakery, and overall, I had a great experience. The croissants are definitely the star of the show—flaky, buttery, and just the right level of crispiness. I tried both the ube and Biscoff flavors, and while both were delicious, I found the ube to be the standout.

So excited to try this place and support a local bakery, especially after seeing it all over Instagram. Spent $8 on the driest croissant I’ve ever eaten. Extremely disappointment and do not understand the hype at all. Also, after seeing so much about it on social media, I expected there to be way more options than just a few croissants and macaroons.

I've been going to Fancy Flavors for over a year now, but I will most likely not be going to this place for some experiences I've had throughout the year.
Just yesterday, I went to Fancy Flavors because they were having a $2 macaron sale day. I was excited to try out different flavors but I was really disappointed when I tried the macarons. The macaron shells were very dry and hard. I've never had such a bad texture from any other macaron shop I've been to. Because of the dry and hard shell, the filling spilled out, making it harder to eat. I don't know if Fancy Flavors decided to bake all macarons in a bulk several days before and sold it without paying attention to the quality, but this was really disappointing.
Also, earlier this year, I requested for a customized order for my partner's birthday. The design I asked for was a very simple illustration of a game character. I genuinely thought that they would make the macarons faithful to the original design that I showed them through a reference picture. However, when I picked up the macarons, I couldn't hide my disappointment because what they made was so far off from the picture I gave them. It looked as if a child tried to copy the picture. I understand that it's unreasonable to ask for an exact carbon copy of the picture, but even the easy details were missing, and it could have been avoided if whoever was making the macarons actually looked at the design carefully. I was so disappointed and frustrated that they didn't even send me a sample macaron they made off of my reference picture and asked if it was ok. There was no communication until the day of pick-up. My partner was also really disappointed but we decided to forget about it because at least the macarons tasted fine.
The recent events made me re-think about how Fancy Flavors does their quality control. There are plenty of other bakeries that sell a variety of macarons without compromising their quality. If Fancy Flavors wants to keep their customers, they should improve their quality of products.
So so so so so so amazing, kind staff, clean bathroom, good AC and delicious food, this butterfly pea matcha latte was amazing, my mom who isn’t own for matcha even loves it

I tried the banana cream spiral croissant, the Mac bar, and the brownie. The spiral croissant was dense, like a kouign amann (which is not a bad thing, depending on your preferences.) The lovely employee told me they were currently having issues with their croissants so they were smaller in size and not very cylindrical but it shall be fixed in due time! I love banana desserts but this one didn't have any cream on the inside as they sort of implied, just a moist banana-flavored section inside the croissant.
The Mac bar was buttery with a milk bar cookie crust.
I was told the brownie was filled with macaron bits but we couldn't taste it. The chocolate frosting on top was rich and decadent though.
Overall, a promising bakery with twists on mainly American classic sweets.

This is my new regular stop for coffee!! I’ve tried several of their iced lattes and they are all excellent and aromatic, now I want to try the whole menu. My favorite is the iced lavender latte but the cinnamon honey was also really good!!
The atmosphere is adorable and the servers are always very friendly and energetic, I can tell they are invested in their work and happy to help.
I haven’t tried the other sweets but they all look beautiful and nicely displayed. I want to try the banana pudding soon!

I LOVED the tiramisu in a cake jar, it was absolutely delicious! You can taste the espresso
Parking: It’s a big area and plaza, maybe cause I’m visiting for a few days it was a bit hard to find and then look for parking but it was worth it!

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS BAKERY!
I come here regularly and everything I have tried is great! I love the selection of macarons. They always have unique flavors that more traditional bakeries are too afraid to try. I highly recommend the white rabbit macaron if they have it.
The coffee is high quality and they have a good variety of specialty lattes. My favorite is the cinnamon honey latte.
Great chocolate chip cookies with just the right amount of salt.
Love this place!

I've had this place bookmarked for a while, and I finally had the chance to check it out when I was in the area!As a die-hard macaron lover, I have a deep affection for these delicate treats. For this visit, I was particularly craving pistachio, my favorite flavor, so I opted for a box of 6 macarons to indulge my craving. Among the 5 flavors I chose, I included 2 pistachio macarons and 4 others.The macaron shells had the perfect texture. Each bite offered a delightful combination of a crisp shell and a soft interior, with no air gaps. The fillings stayed true to their names and descriptions, although not every flavor was to my personal taste. Nevertheless, each macaron tasted authentic and true to its intended flavor.The shop itself is charming, with attention to detail evident throughout the space. The service was excellent--I was promptly greeted upon entering, and the overall service was efficient and friendly. Parking is available in front of the store, shared with other shops in the area. I look forward to returning to try other items on the menu and to continue exploring the variety of macaron flavors, because I simply can't resist!

What a beautiful small business. The fancy flavors Bakery is known for its fresh treats like macarons and the viral spiral croissants plus delicious drinks. I grabbed the strawberry and classic croissants, and they did not disappoint. They had a great amount of filling along with a crunch and flaky croissant that was buttery and not stale. The creme brulee latte was a perfect way to start the morning and paired well with the croissants, but it's sweet so prepare yourself. The macarons were ok. The texture was nice, but the lucky charms weren't as good as the Ferrero, I think the deeper flavor, the better. And lastly, I had the classic cream puff, which was light and creamy as it should be! Go when it opens, and you'll get everything fresh.
