We used Kwento for our wedding cake and had an absolutely incredible experience. Everyone we dealt with was so helpful and attentive to our needs. We wanted to go for a pretty classic piped cake with some pretty and colourful accents and MY GOD it turned our absolutely GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS. We got so many compliments on it and many people ended up going back for seconds because both flavours were so delicious! The tasting box experience was also so fun, I'd honestly recommend it even if you're not getting married as a cute and fun way to try all of Kwento's amazing flavours! We've also gone to Kwento for coffee & cupcakes before and loved that experience too, so just a big all around thumbs up from us!

I come here 3-4 times a week and the drinks are fabulous. Super friendly atmosphere. Adding a banana chocolate muffin to your order never hurts either šŸ™‚

One star is generous. When I walked in, there was no staff member at the front at all. No bell, no sign, nothing, I just stood there waiting until someone finally came out. When I ordered, I asked a simple question about whether something was included in the drink, and the staff member (an Asian woman with dark hair maybe mid 20s) replied in a rude, condescending tone that it was ā€œobviouslyā€ included. Completely unnecessary attitude.

She then told me to go wait in a corner. While waiting, I was watching my drink being made, mainly because she had already restarted it more than once, and she snapped at me asking why I was staring (I’m not a creepy old man, I promise, I’m a young female student and was literally just watching the drink, not her). It was uncomfortable and uncalled for.

The drink was awful: it tasted like straight cocoa powder, and the marshmallow on the stick was burnt. I’ve also seen another review mentioning this same staff member, so this clearly isn’t a one-time issue. Rude service, uncomfortable experience, and badly made drinks. Not coming back.

I really don’t think there could have been a more perfect wedding cake than the one Kwento made for us. I wanted pink (check), I wanted Lambeth-style icing (check), and I absolutely needed that chocolate miso with yema cake (check check!)

We had the loveliest consulation call with Maria, whose excitement made ours even bigger. We really felt listened to and they delivered (figuratively and literally). Our guests kept saying that was the best cake they’ve ever had… and it was.

If you also get a chance to buy one of their tasting boxes, do it! I can’t stress it enough. It was the greatest.

The most delicious cupcakes! Sometimes they have a $5 myster box that has day-old cupcakes and it's SO worth it. Delicious cupcakes and cakes, really lovely staff, cute vibe!

Randomly stopped by last week before my haircut down the street. I got the citrus olive oil cupcake. It was good.

We got a medium size cake that looked beautiful and tasted fine. I love the look of these cakes and was hoping for the taste to wow me, but it just didn’t. The icing was quite good but the cake itself was a little dry and pretty basic. At almost $70, I don’t think I would pick up a cake from here again - but I still think they are absolutely gorgeous.

Waited 20mins for a cake I ordered and paid for. They need more employees

Thank you for baking, decorating, and delivering my stunning wedding cake!! I will add photos to this review at later date. Pricing is reasonable and the communication was clear and timely. Our guests enjoyed the cookies and cream. Maraming salamat!

We used Kwento for our wedding last year. They delivered a beautiful, classic-looking cake, which was exactly what we wanted. The Citrus Olive Oil flavour was amazing, so many guests complimented it! Overall, Kwento was amazing to work with, especially Maria!

Ordered myself a custom cake through their website for my birthday. Everything was perfect and fab, just as expected. Order process was made very simple through their website!
