  My girlfriend and I went there for a posh duo afternoon party - and this place definitely delivered. The food was really tasty and beautiful. Top marks for that. I thought that the macaroons were a little less than wanting (I would prefer more than just a macaroon for a fancy dessert layout) but that being said -- the earl gray macaroon was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and i would definitely get it on its own another time. The ambiance was a little lacklusters since we were in a work-conferencey room and so the aesthetics didnt quite match the vibes of the afternoon tea. Also is was a room set apart from the other diners, so we ate with other people that were having an afternoon tea as well. I liked the separation for the privacy and quiet for our party (we were the smallest at 2 people) but the room could use an fresh up. Kinda expensive though. It was definitely a bougie experience, but it was about $80 per head to have 1 tea (pot) and a 3 tiered snack tray. Also gonna say, after about a 3 hour stay and drinking all the tea pots and only 1-2 little macaroons left from the food pile, I do feel like I got my moneys worth (the time duration and lack of pushing from the staff was a big add to that. But definitely would be a fun dress up thing to do with friends.

  I ordered a cake on Saturday for pick up on Sunday morning for my husband's birthday. On the day of the order, a nice girl told me that they don’t have this cake in Cupertino but they have it in Mountain View, but if it’s not convenient for me to go to Mountain View, then I can place an order, pay and my cake will be delivered to Cupertino on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, when I went to pick up the cake today, another employee, most likely the manager, came out and told me that they could not make my cake due to a technical problems, I wonder what kind of technical problem she was talking about if the entire showcase was filled with other pastries. At least they could inform in advance early in the morning, and not wait until I arrive for the cake and put before the fact.

  I came here to buy a specific cake. At first they told me it was sold out, but after another clerk came in and whispered to the first clerk, they kept changing their minds and swapping answers between the cake being sold out and available, which really confused me! In the end, the clerks decided to sell me the cake, but no more than 30 minutes after I bought it, the cake started to disintegrate as if it wasn’t properly made or cooled……

  Very expensive bakery but worth it. If you like macaroons, come here! Strong flavor, a little chewy with the crunch when you first bite into. Coffee and tea drinks are okay. Not many seats but you can take your pastries/drinks and eat at the Main Street park. I just found out that afternoon tea is being offered at this location 🥳 Can't wait to try it out!

  This particular location is very small. They also do not sell whole cakes. Chocolates: Expensive. $2.50 a piece. While they're not bad (the flavors are quite good), you can get better chocolate at this price range. They're basically two half spheres stuck together. Pretty to look at but...$2.50?? Macarons: The shells are dryer and harder than what you normally get at other places. It makes for a stronger shell that is visually pleasing (very smooth and less likely to have cracks) but it's a little weird biting into it. Not bad, just different. Pastries/cakes: I've tried the chocolate pillow, roxanne and vanilla tart with my favorite being the roxanne (very messy to eat!). All the cakes are beautifully made, delicious, and pricey. In terms of value: cakes > macarons > chocolates
