4th Update (Sept 3, 2025)
I’ve ordered four different crepe mille cakes now and each cake as pretty and delicious as ever.
——————————
Update: A few months later, I ordered an 8” Mille crepe cake with passionfruit filling and asked for a custom design of poppy flowers because the birthday girl loves poppies. The cake was so fresh and tasted divine! The party guests were super super impressed and asked me where I bought the cake, what kind cake is it, what flavor?

Absolutely delicious Mille crepe cake!! I decided to order a birthday cake and some mini cakes without tasting anything first. My friends were blown away by how good the passion fruit flavor was!! The owner was also super easy to work with. She texted me pictures of different designs she can do. She’s so creative!!!

This is a small, family-run bakery, so don’t be surprised that the store itself is small and doesn’t have many display items. The owner is very kind, though her English is limited, but that has never been a problem. Her cakes are consistently delicious, and I’ve ordered birthday cakes from her numerous times without ever being disappointed.
She’s incredibly understanding and always tries her best to make exactly what I have in mind. All I have to do is show her a picture, and she’ll work to replicate it beautifully. Just be sure to give her 1–2 days’ notice, and you’ll have a yummy, high-quality cake that’s made with care.
A small business like this deserves our support; you can truly taste the love in every bite.

They have the best Birthday cake that I’ve even had in this area. Very creamy and fresh, not too sweet. The cake was beautiful like a wedding cake, and it was very tasty, lots of strawberries in the layers. It definitely brought more joy to my daughter’s birthday party. Kids and parents all loved this cake. I felt so blessed to find this place before the Bday party. Thanks for bringing good food to this area!

My husband and I got Boba tea and tried their mango, passionfruit, and strawberry cheesecakes. We also got a free slice of the passionfruit mille crepes cake. We loved everything we tried. Not only were the cheesecakes cutely decorated, the cake was also impressive. The cake was nice creamy with a great flavor and subtle sweetness - perfectly paired with the tea. We both liked that the desserts were not overly sweet. The employee behind the counter was very kind and made us feel welcomed.
Parking: The strip mall where this is located has plenty of parking steps from the entrance.

BBQ pork bun was good. Will be back to try other items. If you want something specific, I would suggest calling first to make sure it's available and/or made to order.
So excited to find a Hong Kong style bakery outside of chinatown! The pastries are so cute and were delicious. I especially loved the two cream cakes I tried (blueberry and strawberry). Our drinks took a little longer but I liked that they weren’t too sweet.

Pleasantly surprised to find authentic tea and baked goods. My fiance was born in Hong Kong and she was so happy when I took her here. The tea is fresh and tasty without needing much sugar, same with the crepe cake. Can't wait to bring her parents here and try the egg tarts next time.

What a pleasant surprise.
We found this place by accident while exploring downtown Barrington.
The shop itself needs to be updated. Our first impressing just based on the shop itself has us worried, but the family that runs the place seem nice.
We asked if the cakes were all homemade and they confirmed they were. We chose a strawberry cake and the portion was decent for two people and the flavor was delightful! It was fluffy and light and the icing wasn't too overwhelming. It compared to an Angel food cake but perhaps less dense.
Overall we loved what we chose and wish the very best in the owers.

I really don’t understand what I’m missing here. We stopped in to grab Boba tea and we were gravely disappointed. There weren’t any baked goods, the place had no where to sit down, and the tea took extremely long to make. It wasn’t great and somewhere we don’t intend to stop by again.
