| - I really have mixed feelings about this place...I feel like its a hit or miss.
The first time I had their cake it was at my birthday. My friend had brought me a mango mousse cake, and it was absolutely delicious.
However, after that I went to their bakery and tried out some of the cakes pieces they sold. I've tried their coffee cake, in my opinion that was rather dry. I've also tried their blueberry, strawberry, and lemon cakes and they tasted mediocre. I also bought my friend a chocolate cheesecake for her birthday and again, it was mediocre in taste.
Recently, my friend and I bought another cake from them, and that was extremely disappointing. We ordered their chocolate cake, which looked absolutely beautiful in their picture. Unfortunately when we picked up the cake, it looked nothing like what we ordered. The cake was suppose to have a smooth dark chocolate layer on it along with chocolate shavings and a center piece in the middle. Instead, it looked like a cheap Co-op/Safeway chocolate cake...talk about false advertisement! The taste of the chocolate cake wasn't bad, it was not too sweet. But other than that I was quite disappointed.
The pricing of their cakes are more on the pricey side, and based on the last two purchases I cannot say that it was worth the price. You are looking at a price range from about $30 to $80 per cake, depending on the shape and size (the size is dependent on how many people you want to feed). There are also additional charges if you want a customized cake.
The bakery itself has a nice and clean setup, and a friendly atmosphere. It is spacious with room for in store eating. They have a fair amount of cake selections and they also sell buns and milk tea there as well.
