I bought few sets for after Christmas party. It was amazing! Sugar level is perfect with tea or coffee! Will order again!

Ichigo Sweets is an online bakeshop that sells Japanese-inspired desserts. They make cream puffs, cakes, bonbons, and drinks, among other things. You can pre-order via their website and pick up in Westwood, MA. However, I was able to catch them at their first pop-up at North Quincy High School's 36th Annual Lunar New Year Festival.I originally planned to only get a cream puff, but everything looked so good in person that I ended up getting much more.- Black sesame cream puff ($4/large): This was my favorite. The outside had a nice crust that was lightly sweetened, and the inside was filled with plenty of smooth, flavorful black sesame cream. I liked the size because it was big enough to be satisfying but not overwhelming. However, I feel like $3 would have been a better price, considering you could get a drink for $4. They also sell small cream puffs for $2, but they looked too small, so I opted for the large.- Matcha sesame cream puff ($4/large): The quality of the cream puff was consistent with the black sesame one, so this one was also good.- Black sesame bonbon ($2): They seem to excel at the black sesame flavor because it shone in this dessert as well. I loved the crunch and light sweetness. It was like eating a Buncha Crunch.- Tiramisu matcha latte ($5): This was my least favorite. I love the lightness of Asian desserts/drinks, but this was too light to the point where I did not taste much of anything. The cream on top was smooth but did not add any creaminess to the drink, and the matcha was overpowered by the milk.Overall, I enjoyed the sweets, and I could see this being a popular spot if they are able to get a storefront one day.

My favorite place to order desserts. I used to order macarons from her, when she used to be Wink Sweets. Love her macarons and cake. My favorite is her Matcha Macaron and Black Sesame Macaron. Not too sweet and tastes very yummy. Folding matcha into the macarons does enhance the matcha flavor. However, it causes the macaron to be a little bit too chewy (unfortunately). I prefer the macarons with matcha dusted on top.Her Yuzu Strawberry Tiramisu is also very good. The appearance is very beautiful and delicate. Very creamy, not too sweet, and taste light and refreshing.I also get to try her White Chocolate Crunch Bonbons, which comes in 3 flavors: Matcha, Strawberry, and Black Sesame. They were so good. Not too sweet, and the crunch adds an extra texture to the chocolate.I also tried her Black Sesame & Matcha Dacquoise, which is also very good. Not too sweet, and taste very yummy. It looks simple and very pretty at the same time. The cream is blended with black sesame, and Uji matcha.If you love black sesame, you will love her black sesame tart, black sesame cream puff, an black sesame & matcha dacquoise.
