Food was good but when asked if i could have a plastic container because we are staying at hotel and having the cream puffs for breakfast the associate refused to accommodate. I was told only if i buy 4. Very disappointing after spending $12 on two cream puffs!

We got the assorted box with half a dozen. The doughnuts are super pricey but it is good to try for the experience. The filling wasn't too sweet.

Well, the concept of this place was inviting, I mean, cream puffs? Delicious! But what brought me in were the Pastel de Natas or, as this place called them, Português custard tarts. Well I’ve been to Portugal and have enjoyed these delicious treats. So when I saw them I had to try one. Well I was very dissatisfied. First off, the custard was not custard. It tased like eggs with a bit of sugar added. There was no creamy custard texture to them. They were actually gross. As a side note to eggs, the establishment smelled like eggs. I’d say, fly to Portugal if you can and by them in Belem. Good day.

It took forever to get service when there is absolutely no one there. Then I ate the cream puff and it was bland. The filling was broken was disgusting which made it unbearable to eat. I’ll stick with the ones I get at the state fair in my home state. They are a million times better.

They ignore the online pickup line when people are at the register. The worst thing you can do is prioritize new orders over a person that's been waiting 10-15 minutes.

The creme puffs and pasteries were amazing. This place delivers a deliciois bite wether you are looking for a box of pasteries or a singular bite. Check out the 4 donuts mt family ate as a snack while strolling the mall.

We first went here about 2 years ago and it was the great, however, the last 2 - 3 times we were there the cream puffs weren't made very well. Hardly any cream was put in one of the plain ones and the creme brulee seemed a bit old. Initially we had very friendly service but now the workers are not nice and not mean... but just there. If I had to describe them, I'd say unhappy. Laurel K.

Such a cute spot with fun flavors to choose from! These cream puffs are a decent size, so you feel like you're getting your money's worth + only need to get one to be satisfied. The shells were light and complemented the richer custard filling well. I liked that they weren't too sweet, but the frosted tops (like the ube shell) are definitely on the sweeter side if that's your thing!

This is a great place for a sweet treat! I tried the ube with vanilla filling and Green tea with matcha filling and both was really good! They were big! I split 2 with 3 people and it was the perfect amount. The staff were also super friendly! I would not hesitate to go back for more.I also really appreciated them having seasonal options- it was so cute!

Just like my mom used to make! These jumbo cream puffs are a delicious treat to enjoy at the mall and are so fresh! You can mix and match your topping and filling , which makes the options that much sweeter. While I opted for a classic chocolate covered with vanilla filling, my husband went for the more elaborate cookies and cream with chocolate filling (he finished his before I could get through mine!) so delicious, takes me right back home. The size alone of these sweet treats is enough to brighten anyone's day! Ordering was super seamless and easy! They have a variety of other offerings, which we also recommend checking out too! We recommend getting in on trying the holiday special seasonal flavor as it's only available for a short amount of time!

I stop here a few times a month as a treat for my sales staff. Cream puffs are great! You can have some customization fun and they are big and tasty. Staff is fine. Seems like management might be a little micromanage happy.

A lovely store with many options and combinations of cream puffs. You can build your own from their diverse options or get a six pack assortment which is what we chose. The cream puffs were bigger than we expected and very delicious! They're filled right in front of you too! Many unique flavors as well such as Matcha and Ube.The service was great and prompt. The ambiance was lively and upbeat, standing out very clearly amongst the other stores. I recommend giving them a try!
