I haven’t been to Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream in a while, so this time, they finally had a new flavor that I haven’t tried. It’s their cucumber ice milk ice cream. At first lick it was strange, but the more I ate it, the more I liked it. Now, it’s actually one of my favorites! [...]

I’ve been going to Patisserie Philippe for years now and it’s still one of my favorite places for French macarons. Every place makes it differently – texture, size, filling, sweetness – and here they’re made not too sweet, crispy outer layer, chewy inside, and filled with buttercream. I’m usually into non-fruit flavors like tea flavors [...]

The most random thing happened to me today. While walking to Chinatown for lunch, I passed by a brand new cupcake window stand. It was really ghett-looking because it was tiny and still brand new, but the cupcakes weren’t ghetto at all. It was so new – just opened that day – that they didn’t [...]

The desserts at Sweet Indulgence over in Millbrae is not bad. Their mixed fruit crepe with ice cream seemed to be really popular – a lot of people were ordering it. It was okay – a crispier crepe wrap would have been nicer. Their panna cotta is thick and creamy, so if that’s how you [...]

I just wanted to give a special shout out to one of the best cupcakes I’ve had, the “Lost in Paradise” cupcake from Cups and Cakes Bakery. It’s a banana cake topped with a strawberry butter cream. The cake was very moist and not too heavy, and the buttercream tasted fresh and fruity. It did [...]

I checked out the newly located Joe’s Ice Cream. They have all of the basic flavors plus a few not-so-basic ones. Their ginger was really good, with chunks of ginger in it too! The flavor wasn’t too strong, so it’s something anyone could enjoy. I also tried their pumpkin, which was not bad. As you [...]

My favorite dessert bakery in the Bay Area is Satura Cakes. I usually go to their Palo Alto location since it’s closer to me. They bake European treats with a Japanese/Asian taste, which usually means less on the sugar overload and more on the flavors. Just about anytime I get something there, I’m never disappointed. [...]

There’s a new ice cream shop in town and it’s name is Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous. I like that name. I think I’d go to just about any store named like that. The shop is loaded with families, probably because it is in the Potrero Hill/Dogpatch district, which is just about all residential. It was [...]

It’s another new flavor (for me, that is) at Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream. This time, it’s called the “Elvis”, which is made up of banana and bacon peanut brittle. It’s three of my favorite ingredients tossed into one. What’s there for me not to like? (Read more about “Elvis”.) 2790 Harrison St (between 23rd St [...]

Recently, I’ve been becoming more and more of a fan of 100% Sweet Cafe. The service still needs a lot of work, but the food here is not bad! I tried a beef and curry corkscrew pasta dish that they had and the beef was really tender. I didn’t expect that coming! Their pork cutlet [...]
