Very cute little shop with a very friendly and helpful staff! The staff was very knowledgeable about all items and were enthusiasticly explain everything to all customers. I tried the baked bbq pork bun, the C combo, the lotus rice roll, and the T7 to drink. The baked bun was a fantastic blend of sweet and savory. The soup dumplings were delicious with a flavorful broth inside. The shumai were a generous size and perfect with a lil soy sauce and Sriracha. The steam pork buns were perfectly moist and fluffy. The lotus rice reminded me of meals with my grandmother. Just needs a lil soy and Sriracha as well. Finally the drink was perfect way to top of the meal without being to sweet and very fresh. It was pleasant change to have a drink made with fresh ingredients instead of powdered flavors. Will definitely have to go back to try out some of the phenomenal looking desserts!
This was our first time ordering a custom cake of this magnitude from T&5 Bakery, and we were absolutely blown away. The cake was stunning — so elegant and beautifully crafted that it instantly became the centerpiece of our celebration. My coworkers were so impressed; the graduate even teared up with joy when she saw it! Not only was the exterior perfection, but the inside was just as incredible. The cake was moist, the filling generously layered with fresh fruit, and the combination of chocolate mousse and strawberries was heavenly. Even with three solid layers, the cake held its shape beautifully — a true testament to the bakery’s craftsmanship and quality. We are so thankful for the talented team at T&5 Bakery who always seem to know exactly what their clients want. A special shoutout to Mrs. Kong, who treats every customer like family and remembers us by name. T&5 Bakery isn’t just about amazing custom cakes — their real fruit bobas and dim sum are also out of this world! This is truly a gem of a bakery, and we are forever loyal customers. Highly recommend them for any special occasion (or just because you deserve something delicious and beautiful).
T&5 is a must-stop every time I’m in Folsom. I love their coconut pudding (in an actual coconut!) and the Portuguese egg tarts. The dim sum is delicious and served hot. The bakery items are made fresh daily and they have about every coffee, tea, smoothie and boba concoction under the sun available. I always get an iced matcha latte and a coconut pudding. Customer service is always top notch and the owner is so sweet!
The absolute cutest bakery. Not only is the atmosphere stunning, the ingredients are so fresh. You can really taste the difference here. I have tried a couple of their drinks-- I especially love coconut water based drinks. The desserts to die for!
I wanted to get my wife a special cake for her 60th birthday. After some research i landed on the T&5 Cafe & Bakery. The reviews were excellent and the pictures of cakes on their Instagram accounts were very impressive. I went down to the shop where I was greeted by the delightful Miss Kong who was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I described the cake I wanted and we settled on a price. When I picked up the cake I was extremely satisfied. My wife loves gnomes so they set up a woodland, gnome scene for us. At the party the cake was a huge hit with everyone commenting how beautiful and delicious it was. I hope my wife gets me a cake from these folks for MY 60th birthday!
Mama Kong is super sweet! Very accommodating and good communication. I order my partner birthday cake. Very good. Definitely start a tradition of ordering birthday cakes here cause of the customization. The workers are all super sweet. 5/5 customer service Edit. Order Hawaiian fruit tea, mango sago, orange tea drinks. So refreshing and fresh fruit. Also order the bbq bun. So fluffy. The crab xiaolongbao, so good. Does not taste fishy or too crabby and the pork shiu mai. So big. I know these aren’t store bought cause of the added corn and how big the pieces are. Definitely recommend everything on the menu. Update. 12-1-2025 Order a birthday lava cake for my sister in law. MIFFY. SO PRETTY, Inside of the cake is so good. Not too sweet. Which is great. Fresh strawberries. 10/10 will order again.
My husband brought home slices of tiramisu crepe cake, mixed fruit cake, strawberry cake, and matcha cake on Tuesday lunchtime.The mixed fruit cake was absolutely divine, with a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The tiramisu crepe cake captured the essence of espresso and coffee liqueur beautifully. The matcha cake stood out with its balanced, earthy sweetness. However, the strawberry cake was a bit too sweet for my liking. After tasting their cakes, I knew I had to sample their dim sum! We visited this charming spot on a Friday afternoon. I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. The interior was beautifully decorated making the atmosphere warm and inviting. Everything on display looked so delicious that it was hard to choose! We ordered Pork Shiu mai, D3-B Crab Xiao Long Bao, Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice, and shrimp dumplings. Every dish was flavorful and fresh, but the Crab Xiao Long Bao was the highlight for me. Mrs. Kong told me to bite it a little bit on the side so as to release the steam because the broth inside is hot! The rich, savory broth inside the dumplings was perfectly balanced with the texture of the crab meat. Special thanks to Mrs. Kong for her tips on how to enjoy the dim sum and mix the sticky rice properly—it made the experience even better! This spot is a must-visit for anyone who loves both delectable cakes and well-prepared dim sum. I’ll definitely be back to try more!
Brought my girlfriend and her friend here. I saw that it had dim sum in addition to being a bakery, and it looked quaint—the kind of place most women love. Wow—atmosphere, impeccably clean and well decorated. The shiu-mai, and bao were delicious; we’re going to try the dumplings next time. The bakery items are works of art. I’m going to get my Babe a cake from here on her birthday or any special occasion!
