Haters gonna hate but there’s no doubt that Sprinkles Cupcakes is the mother of cupcakes. They set the benchmark for cupcakes over five years ago and I still find myself eating them. This flavor is new to me – dark chocolate banana cupcake. The cake was like banana bread and very moist. The frosting is [...]

After having just returned from Japan, I’ve been craving macarons. After all, Japan is like the next best thing to Paris when it comes to patisseries. (Or maybe it’s even better?) Cocola Bakery has some good macarons – definitely not like the high-end ones that I’ve had in Japan, but more worth what you pay [...]

I can never get sick of croissants. Sandbox Bakery is the closest thing in the San Francisco Bay Area to a typical bakery in Japan, the biggest difference being that it’s not self-served, but maybe it’s better off that way for sanitary reasons. Sandbox has a good fusion of Japanese and French pastries. Every piece [...]

If you like French macarons, then the Fillmore Bakeshop is another place to try if you haven’t yet. Their macarons are on the fat and round side and are filled with different flavored butter cream. Definitely a must-try for macaron lovers like Karen and myself. 1890 Fillmore St (between Sutter St & Bush St) San [...]

Cream Pan has been on the top of my to-eat list for some time now. I’ve had things from this Japanese bakery before, but only as deliveries from friends visiting from the area. It was good then, and it gets even better fresh from the bakery. Their croissants were light and flaky, and the custard [...]

Everyone raves about the bacon maple apple bacon at Dynamo Donut & Coffee. It’s my favorite too! It’s gone a long way from its first inception three years ago, and it got even better. I think it’s the best bacon donut I’ve ever had, it better be if I’m paying for a $3 donut. But [...]

If you’ve ever been to a Bouchon Bakery, you’ll see why they’re the king when it comes to French macarons. Their macarons are king-sized! You can actually share one with a friend or two, which I recommend, so you can try multiple flavors. Their croissants were also super flaky. Perfect. Their ice cream sandwich was [...]

As a responsible DD during my recent Napa trip, I had only option to do – eat. The deli at V. Sattui Winery offers a lot of freshly pre-made (oxymoron?) sandwiches. My favorite was their spicy Italian – ham coppa, saluma & mozzarella in a ciabatta bun makes for a perfect combo. Their sides were [...]

Last Sunday, after arriving to Taiwan, the mayor of Taipei presented Jeremy Lin with a giant pineapple cake in the shape his new Houston Rockets Jersey with his #7 on it. Fortunately for me, I was surprised with one myself too this week – delivered straight from Taiwan. The most famous Taiwanese-American around plus the [...]

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the bacon maple scone at Sandbox Bakery. A hint of maple, bits of bacon, a little bit sweet, a little bit savory, a little bit crispy, a little bit moist, and a lot of yumminess. Bacon lovers, enjoy! 833 Cortland Ave (between Ellsworth St & Gates St) [...]
