I was recommended to get the dirty chai latte and the ube tres leches cake. The ube tres leches cake is hands down one of the best things I had ever! The dirty chai latte was meh. Highly recommend their baked goods! There isn’t much place to sit and eat though.

I came here around 4 pm on a Friday! They had a good supply of Tres Leche, so I went ahead and ordered almost one of each that I could see.- Chocolate Tees Leche- Ube Tres Leche- Coconut Tres Leche- Dulce de Leche (I think?)All of them are hands down delicious and a must try for those who are on the fence.I am still trying to figure out which out of the 4 I like the best. I also ordered a caramel macchiato and an iced horchata. Both are also pretty good! It takes a bit to make, but it's worth the wait. Parking in this area is really easy, a HUGE plus! It's near Smart & Final, so you can use the parking spot and just walk from there. As a note, this place is near Tanforan Shopping Center, so come make a visit! I will definitely be coming back because there are so many other items I wanted to try, like the Beef Pot Pie and those Italian sodas. If I wake up early enough, I'd like to grab a breakfast sandwich!The minus one for the review is my wish. This place had a section for sit downs. Maybe in the future, they can expand to provide this?

Tasty deserts and great service. I have been getting cakes from Tara for years and it never disappoints. The ooohhh and aaahhhhs for each creation from all our guests keeps pouring in.

Another year, another cake. Date and cake changes were accommodated. The carrot cake was perfect.

The best horchata lattes and tres leches cakes, chocolate chip cookies are sooo good. I tried the pumpkin coffee cake today! ?? sooo good! You have to try!

We've used them a few times for custom cakes, but might be our last, at least for a while. Communication is tough, they either take forever to get back to you or they don't get back to you at all. I do understand they're real busy, but maybe they need to hire more people?Cake flavors are kind of hit or miss. Oreo was good, not too sweet. Cupcakes were ordinary and nothing special.They are definitely talented cake makers I must say (just look at all their pictures).

Oh my gosh! What a fantastic and beautiful cake for my daughter! I contacted the Cake Queen after reviewing yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did! She did a wonderful job constructing a beautiful and an amazing cake that not only looked good, but tasted even better! We're so pleased with Cake Queens services we look forward to using their bakery shop for our son's birthday. Our daughter's birthday theme was Halloween :).

The ube tres luches cake is the truth. It's so delicious and perfectly sweet. I always call ahead to reserve one, they take Venmo for payment which is nice.

For my mother's retirement celebration, I was able to get an ube tres leche cake and it did not disappoint. Parking was easy to find, we parked in front of the bakery. I called the day before (don't ever do that) hoping to order it or pick up an emergency cake. I was fortunate that they had one more available and I was the lucky winner. Customer service was friendly and helpful. My mother is a big ube fan (especially ube ice cream) and when she tried it, her eyes got big and were filled with delight and dreaminess. She loved the cake and so did my brother (also an ube fan). Both my mother and brother, reached out for a second slice. I tried it and wow, the waves of ube flowing through my mouth as I chew on the moist cake. I also had a second slice. It was done in two days lol. I also love their strawberry lemon(ade) cupcakes, must try.

This is literally my favorite cake shop in all of the bay area. Their cakes are delicious, and not overly sweet. You can taste the difference. Sadly we have moved to the east bay, so we don't purchase cakes from them as often as we used to, and I have tried other shops but nobody compares. For any special occasion, or just because, I recommend cake queen 10x over. So delicious!! Whenever we are in town we get one of the cakes that are ready to buy. They're such a treat.

First of all, parking here isn't bad. There is street parking. But there is also a lot in front of the Goodwill and Smart and Final to park while you grab your goodies. I came here to grab something special for a coworker's last day. I ended up grabbing them the chai tres leche cup and from what I've heard it was yummy. I have to go back to try it for myself. The space is cute and the service was nice and friendly. There is a such a variety to choose from such as cupcakes, tres leches, cookies, pastries, etc. The lady up front was recommending things and finally told me by the end of her spiel that everything is good haha. I've been wanting to try this place because of the ube tres leches and I'm glad I got to grab some as well. It was moist and had the right amount of ube flavor. Be sure to share because this a lot for just one person. Almond croissant is a classic and I always have to grab it for my mom to try. She said it was delicious. It was flaky and had the right of amount of almond filling inside. The chicken pesto pizza thing was so good and I would go back to get it again! The chunks of chicken were generous and the pesto/cheese portion was perfect. The puff pastry held it all together well. The chicken empanada was kind of a disappointment. The filling tasted like it had an overwhelming amount of hot sauce. The bread was a little hard and not tasty. Overall, I recommend people to check this place out. There are several things to choose from that I'm sure there is something for everybody at this bakery. I was even impressed that besides amazing custom order cakes, they also have emergency ones available. I mentioned it to my coworkers and I know a couple of them went the following weekend to treat themselves.

I can't recall where I read about this bakery but I bookmarked it just in case. It might have been the reference to ube or tres leches. This morning I was running an errand down the Peninsula. That got me thinking about bakeries I could hit. I reviewed my Yelp bakery collection. This was nearby. I found an easy parking space around 10:05am. As you enter you'll find a narrow aisle. No matter. There's enough room for you to eyeball all the sweet and savory items. Today there must have over 20+ items in the display case. I went with an almond croissant which was still warm to the touch and a square shaped slice of the refrigerated ube tres leches cake. The almond croissant had lots of generous almond paste. Toasty almonds on top. The ube tres leches cake - very very sweet. It's very moist. The ube is very understated. Not too starchy. Great accompanied with a strong cup of coffee. I cut it into four squares and shared with my hubby and daughter. Just enough to sweeten the palate.
