Cute little cake shop, the y were delicious and beautifully made!

I was first trying this shop's products when attending a small gathering. The Earl Grey Cream Cake seemed to be a hit, everyone liked it. Although it was a little too sweet for my taste, I liked the unusual tea flavor. The Earl Grey Boba Molten Cake was also good. People who love boba teas loved it.The Macarons could be better. The shells were too dry. But the small size was perfect, since the macarons were sweet. The fillings were either ganache or jam. I really enjoyed the lemon flavor one.Nobody liked the Chocolate Buttercream cake, and I could understand why. Both the cake and buttercream had almost no chocolate flavor in them. The cake was dry. The buttercream wasn't sweet enough and didn't taste very fresh. And the frosting was done sloppily. Big thumbs down!Personally, I'm not a fan of this cake shop, especially considering the pricey aspect of it.

Daughter wanted a sweet treat. She looked this place up this family owned business that is tucked away on the side street of Noriega. So glad she did. Unique pastries.

I love this place. So chic!

I've been daydreaming of Daydream Cake Shop's desserts for a while and I've finally got my hands on some. I've been here multiple times and each time I get the Earl Grey Boba Cake I find that I'm not disappointed. The chiffon cake is so moist, airy, and bouncy while the boba is chewy and sweet. The cream is well sweetened and pairs well with the cake. Together they are a match made in heaven. Ever since I had this cake, I've requested the bigger version of it to share for my birthday each time. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it either.The shop itself is small but there is still room for indoor seating. The interior design is nice, bright, and simple. They have a window where you can peek into the back to see them design cakes. And the food is aesthetically pleasing.

Favorite dessert place. Cutest. Delicious cakes. Pretty in pink. Day date feel.

?HIDDEN GEM?Full Disclosure. I did not plan on coming here when I started my day. But thanks to the universe that this place was on my path today. I ordered the "Golden Crumbs Nutella Molten Cake" and it was DIVINE. Definitely don't pass on it if you find yourself struggling to pick one of their other delectable treats.The shop itself is super nice and gives you positive home-y vibes. Not a big cake shop, but has room for a few small tables and chairs. The decor is nice, love the plants.Don't cheat yourself, TREAT yourself!

instagram worthy pastries.

The Daydream Cake Shop is more like a nightmare! I purchased two cakes, Earl Grey Chestnut Molten 6” Cake and the Berries Gelée Cheesecake through the Fantuan Delivery App. I contacted the bakery and left a voicemail to place a Happy Birthday sign on both cakes. Not only did they not do so, but no one returned my call. I called multiple times and days, yet no response.The Earl Grey Chestnut Molten Cake was extremely dry and flavourless…somewhat resembling the photo but looks more like an amateur baking the cake! The Berries Gelée Cheesecake looked nothing like the photo. The cheesecake is supposed to have one layer of a bottom crust, one thick layer of the cream cheese/cheesecake, one thin layer of the berries gelée and garnished with fresh berries. The delivered product was a leftover, heart shaped raspberry gelatin mouse on the outside and a thin layer of raspberry gelée on the inside. Refer to the accompanying photos for actual documentation of this bakery committing such a fraud!Daydream Cake Shop sets a horrible example for other bakeries. While I try to support smaller bakeries, Daydream Cake Shop has not only violated my wallet but also my trust…shame on you!!!

The pastries are works of art and the taste is perfectly tuned. Drinks are great too, better than milk tea chains. Would definitely hit this place again if I am in the area.
