In October 2018, Lavender Bakery and Cafe began offering friends, neighbors, and customers the best in Bay Area baked products, inspired by a desire to bring traditional European recipes to Berkeley.

Ordered the Guava Mousse Cake-8"(8-10 Servings) and a small Lemon Tart-Individual Tart , and they were delicious! The Guava Mousse was so light, fluffy, and not too sweet. Highly recommend it, and I will definitely order it again.

This bakery is fantastic. Their food is really really good and they are super nice. Once I ordered something that was out of stock, and they refunded me AND sent a similar item for free. And it was SO GOOD.
I reccommend the lemon tart, the chocolate lava, and the delicious oatmeal/cranberry/walnut cookies. Will order again and again.

Wow the combination was great. Best Tiramisu Dessert I've ever had. Burnt Almond Dessert was incredible and the Lava Cake was mighty even though it was tiny! We split between the four of us sweet toothers

* If the food looks good in pictures, doesn't necessarily means it will taste good as well;
* Wrapping food items in tissue and sealing with dainty little stickers will not compensate for lack of quality;
* I ordered a sumptuous looking Cream Puff doused with powdered sugar and topped with mouth-watering strawberries.....what I got instead was this sad looking chocolate encrusted donut basically;
* The Spinach & Feta Bistro they sent was much smaller in size compared to the menu photo, bereft of any visible signs of spinach, and COLD.....they didn't even take care to warm it;
* The MOCHA arrived just lukewarm, and not very sweet at all......isn't the experience why one orders a fancy coffee for?
All of that combined with the fact that this merchant charges premium prices for reduced portion and quality had me feeling rather nauseated!!

I really appreciate that they took the time out to write the ecard message in hand written note. the taste of food was also quite nice.
I didn't expect cream puff to have a chocolate flavour. But it's mentioned in the text, not shown in the photo. Rest everything was good.
