Lavender 'n Cream

Recently when I visited Menlo Park I stumbled upon this bakery, I am a fan of French bakery ever since I’ve tried their pastry and ice cream/Gelato. They have options when it comes to ice cream such as Oreo, pistachio, strawberry, cotton candy, vanilla and chocolate. They let u try it if you ask them so you can taste and get. It was ok not even nice. I’ve tried honestly local bakeries better. I’d rate it like 2/5. They have 3 sizes available for them Small medium and large ranging from $7.75 and so on. Which is expensive I tell u why because the gelato it wasn’t gelato. I have had gelato and it has its own unique taste, I’d say they tried to make one but couldn’t actually. They have cupcake options ranging from $4. Something. Reasonable. Haven’t tasted can’t say much. They have pastry options like strawberry shortcake, lavender vanilla cake & tarts available. I personally got myself a Lavender vanilla cake 1.5/5 it wasn’t good at all like the bread was soft but the cream was soooo sugary like it gave me a cheap taste and a chocolate gelato. Disappointed. They have cake and catering services available also. They even have coffee and sandwich options here you know like a quick breakfast stop could this be?! Haven’t tasted it and honestly wouldn’t go again either but if you’re a fan of sugary like really suit cakes you can give it a try. Don’t be surprised if you’re a disappointment like me. Regarding their hospitality, uhm no remarks on that because they weren’t that welcoming but yes they were helpful with helping me choose an ice cream flavor although I think they can do better with their customer service so yeah. Though the guy that helped me with my order was nice but I think a little talk and greeting could go a long way after all French are masters in bakery so if he could engage in a small conversation about their pastry for someone like me who was interested in knowing would have been a lot appreciated. Overall this whole bakery needs to actually level up their menu and taste.

I was waiting for someone and I had about an hour to spend so I stopped here for a coffee. After coming here Hot Cocoa looked good so I ordered one and that was definitely a good decision. Person behind the counter was really helpful, I also had a cookie which was too good! (I wish I had more) I might come back here whenever in the area.

We stopped in our our way out of Menlo Park. I ordered the "oriental salad" with chicken. It was super tasty. I picked up a couple of their cupcakes and glad I did. They were a nice treat for us on the way home. Everything looked delicious. I'll definitely return to sample more!

Ordered by son’s birthday cake for 35 people 5 days before the party! Lara was so helpful in advising which cake and what flavors to go for. We went with chocolate cake with Oreo icing. Absolutely delicious cake . All the kids and their parents loved it! Highly recommend!

I'm gonna be honest, nothing I've had from here has been good. Sorry. It's pretty expensive by my standards but I'm also broke. The chocolate cake was disgusting, but also small and overpriced. Had me wishing I had just gone to the grocery. I had the triple layered chocolate mousse on recommendation from the guy behind the counter but it tasted like nothing. The service is fine, I actually appreciate people not trying to engage me in conversation, I just don't like any of the things I've eaten here. Allegedly the savory lunch things are better, at least according to my friends, but I can't vote on that one.

This place is under new ownership. The pastries are delicious (I got the lemon tart, my friend got the mocha cake) and they have a wonderful selection of drinks. Some kind of unusual drinks which I super appreciate. It’s also super pretty. The ambiance is really nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

We got cupcakes for my daughters birthday from Lavender’n Cream and they were so amazing ! Brightly colored, with a fluffy cream top, moist, soft and delicious ! There are several flavors and we took a few of every type. The kids loved it at the party ! The special lavender cupcake has a cute lavender color and a faint aroma that makes it totally unique ! Besides cupcakes they have all kinds of sweet goodies : cookies, macarons, pastries, gelato, cake pops, cakes and custom cakes, coffee and so on. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the shop has pretty decor inside. Loved it and will certainly come back !

If you’re searching for the best coffee in Menlo Park, look no further than this charming French pastry café. The coffee here is perfection—smooth, rich, and expertly brewed, easily the best I’ve had in the area because they use illy. The pastries are equally outstanding, with a wide selection of traditional French treats that are as delicious as they are beautiful. From buttery croissants to delicate fruit tarts, every bite feels like a trip to Paris. The staff is warm and attentive specially the owner of the place, and the cozy ambiance makes it the perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast or a pastry lover, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
