I initially discovered this bakery when they had their soft opening. The store itself was renovated beautifully with a modern look. I was impressed with the variety and quality of the buns despite their high prices. The workers were friendly and the owner came by to greet us as well. He said they specialized in high class baked goods and their cakes were their specialty. I ended up spending about 17 dollars in 6 buns and a small tiramisu cake. The buns were delicious but I couldn't say the same with the cake..
The second time I visited the bakery, I noticed that their variety lessened and quality was lowered. They didn't have the mango mochi and the buns I brought weren't as nice looking as before. I also ordered a 2 lb cheesecake for a friend's birthday. The cake was more on the expensive side (around $50) but it was pretty good.
So I decided to come again to order another birthday cake. I made sure to pre order my cakes so that they are guaranteed fresh and not display ones. Those tend to be a day old. I was extremely mad when I got home and discovered the "fresh" cake that I brought. Visually, the cake looked like a sloppy mess with the frosting on the sides cracking and smudged. When we ate the cake, I immediately knew that the cake was old because the cake tasted extremely stale. Even the chocolate tasted stale! I paid 50 dollars for old cake.
I think this bakery is going downhill with every visit. Definitely not returning.
