Sweet & Favorite Cake Shop

“Tried this new bakery today through the UberEats and had mixed feelings, so sharing an honest review for anyone curious. The good first: the pastries did taste fresh (not stale or frozen), and the chocolate eclair itself was genuinely tasty -- smooth filling, balanced sweetness, and the best item from my order. But the execution + value were disappointing, especially for the very high prices vs to prices and sizes for similar items in multiple nearby bakeries. Packaging / delivery issue: the two eclairs were put together in one box without being secured, so during transit the chocolate ganache rubbed off and smeared onto the mango eclair. For $7 per eclair, that's not acceptable -- they need to separate or secure them properly. Almond croissant: very small and had only a thin layer of almond filling with NO sliced/shaved almonds, which is not what you expect from a classic almond croissant! Raisin & custard croissant-many people think of as a "raisin + custard spiral", traditionally called Pain aux raisins (also known as an escargot). This one tasted fresh, but had no custard at all -- basically a raisin spiral without the cream component. Mango eclair: the filling was bright orange but tasted strongly acidic, extremely sour, more like citrus or an apricot/citrus gel than mango -- no real mango flavor or aroma. It didn't smell spoiled, but it was not what was expected based on the menu. Coffee: very mediocre, flavorless and arrived barely warm, definitely Do NOT recommend wasting money on that when even regular franchise coffee shops produce much better tasting coffee. Overall: freshness is there, but portion size, packaging for delivery, and flavor accuracy need improvement. I'd come back for the chocolate eclair only if they fix packaging, size vs price & quality control issues and will tighten up the recipes/descriptions.”

“Hands down, the best spot around. The girls here are amazing -- especially Lena and Yana. The sweets and baked goods are always fresh, homemade, and delicious, and the lattes are consistently on point. I recommend this place to everyone and their mother. They also have a location on Ave U with cooked food, and it's equally great -- even the sushi and other dishes are impressive. The staff is kind, attentive, and always willing to accommodate. I keep coming back for the welcoming environment and the high-quality food they deliver every time.”

“ Absolutely delicious and delightful! I had such a wonderful experience at Sweet & Favorite Cake Shop. The selection of cakes, macarons, and desserts is amazing -- every item I tried was beautifully made and incredibly tasty. The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful, making great recommendations for my order. Their custom cakes are true works of art and perfect for special occasions. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the presentation was picture-perfect. I can't wait to come back and try more treats! ”
