Ethan and Thanh hasn’t been to the original Kara’s Cupcakes in the Marina, and Chantelle hasn’t had many cupcakes since she’s moved to the city, so we had to go. After all, it’s the mother of all cupcakes in San Francisco. I think I’ve changed to a new favorite at Kara’s: chocolate velvet. The chocolate [...]

I can’t believe it but for once, I was actually a bit disappointed with Sandbox Bakery. (They were on a roll, too!) Mae and I saw that they had French/Parisian macarons, so we had to get them since we’re big fans. The macarons came … soggy? Maybe they just weren’t made fresh that day. I [...]

This is my second weekend in a row at Bob’s Donut & Pastry Shop. I really shouldn’t let this become a habit because this can’t be good for me, but it just tastes so good. I can’t even look at a donut the same way again after having experienced a fresh, fried donut. This time, [...]

I only found out about Fancy Wheat Field Bakery last week while driving down San Bruno Ave. By then, it was already closed, so I had to go this weekend. It reminds me of the bakeries in Taiwan, though not as large. Overall, everything seems okay. I tried their mango and strawberry mousse in a [...]

I needed last minute cupcakes for Valentine’s Day and Cups and Cakes Bakery came to my rescue. Their cupcakes are just slightly heavier than what I usually like, but to each his own. I’ve actually always been a fan of their cupcakes ever since I tried them a couple years ago at the Yelp holiday [...]

I don’t care much for donuts unless they’re one of three things: gourmet, with bacon, or fresh-hot, straight from the fryer. It’s hard for me to have freshly fried donuts since I’m usually asleep when bakers are frying them in the morning. That’s where Bob’s Donut & Pastry Shop comes into play. When 10pm hits, [...]

I never knew Daly City had a House of Silvanas bakery. I’m used to eating Sans Rival cake, usually from Goldilocks, but I’ve never heard of Silvanas, which is basically a Sans Rival cake in cookie form, until I found out about House of Silvanas. Delightfully [...]

I was in the neighborhood so I figured I should pay a visit to my favorite underrated bakery, Baked. I like their cupcakes. I really think they’re the most underrated cupcakes in the city, possibly because Baked is located in Potrero Hill – way out of the way from everyone else. Their cupcakes are always [...]

This was my first time having savory items at Patisserie Philippe, but I wasn’t surprised at all at how good they were since they know how to do pastries right. I really liked their quiche lorraine (quiche with bacon and onions). It was light and not too salty. Just right. Their other savory pastry that [...]

I haven’t been to Sandbox Bakery ever since I left for vacation. Nothing has changed – everything is still good. This time, I tried their blueberry bread pudding. It’s one of the best bread puddings I’ve had. It’s lighter than when I get it at other American bakeries, yet it’s still very moist, and most [...]
