| - This place isn't amazing.. nor bad. If you're looking for a birthday cake or some snacks, this would make a decent visit. Their macarons aren't that great though so if you're looking for those, I wouldn't come here; colours look a bit scary, like really artificial and I couldn't really distinguish the flavours.
Cakes I liked were the strawberry yuzu, white chocolate exotique, and pistachio blackcurrant. Ordered the pistachio blackcurrant in 9" - think they cheaped out on the garnish. For a cake that size you'd think they would put 1 or 2 more macarons or a few more berries on top to balance it out a bit... but they didn't. The cake looked kinda sparse... but the taste made up for it. One of my two fave flavours in one cake - I'll give you some slack for this one, Ruelo. The Strawberry yuzu and White chocolate exotique looked pretty cute and was good too; the flavor was unique in terms of the yuzu, and the flourless chocolate cake for the white chocolate was better than expected. For people who like white chocolate you can give this one a try.
Most recently tried their Green tea red bean sesame, which was a bit sweet on my part, but overall the cake was good too, especially the sesame flavor which really came through. I didn't like the shape though (I don't like rectangular cakes) and asked if I could change to a regular circle, they said no (even I offered to pay extra). Didn't really understand why not...
Service isn't great at this place so I wouldn't suggest having tea here, which Groupon does offer (all the time). If you want a cake or whatever here, just order, pay, get out, and you'll be a happy camper.
