| - First things first: the best way to get into this place (if, by some weird reason, you're only driving to the mall to visit this shop) is to park in the Nordstrom's garage (third floor, if you can), walk across the bridge, walk through the teen/kids sections, and hang a left. There it is! Very easy and less walking, for the lazy folks out there ;)
I mention that because I visited Fashion Square yesterday to ONLY visit Caketini-- yes, that's right, I didn't go shopping (crazy!).
Anyway-- the service at Caketini is unbelievably good. THREE people tried to cut in front of me in line (wtf??) but the Caketini girls noticed me and made a point to pick me out of the crowd, take my order, and get it to me in a very timely manner. Hooray for good customer service!
As for the treats: I tried 2 "Caketini truffles" (AKA cake pops) (brought one home for the bf) and a Jasmine Blueberry organic iced tea.
Verdict? DELICIOUS! I tried the peanut butter cake pop and the 'celebration' cake pop, and the boyfriend had the snickerdoodle cake pop. All three were moist, not at all dry, and not at all "too sweet." To each, their own tastes, but I don't really understand the complaints about Caketini's flavors... they're actually better than Starbucks, and having said that, I think it's unfair to compare Caketini to Starbucks...
But I digress. The iced tea itself was also amazing-- only $2.50 for a large iced tea that tastes EXACTLY like a Teavana iced tea.... only at much cheaper prices. If you've had Teavana iced tea, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't... let's just say, you can't compare Starbucks iced tea to Teavana tea.
(and before you think I hate Starbucks, I don't. I'm just saying you can't compare apples to oranges :)
All in all, I'm looking forward to stopping at Caketini any time I'm at Fashion Square. It's worth a visit to Caketini if you're at the mall!
