Starbucks Cake Review: Actually Good?
22
Apr
Apr
Starbucks coffee is great (duh.) It’s fast, convenient and reasonably price (unless you compare to Flat Black to Kopi O Kosong). Any how, at Starbucks, you’re guaranteed a happy stomach.
Over the countless hours I’ve spent in Starbucks convincing myself that all I need to keep studying for Econ is another warm croissant, I think it’s safe to say I’ve become a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to the bakery. So without further ado, here is the Starbucks dream team of deserts.
Over the weekend, we took the liberty to hop by the Starbucks outlet nearby and ordered each and every one of their cake slices.
Bonus Tip: Looking for a durian cake shop for a birthday celebration or special occasion? Check out Singapore’s No. 1 cake shop for Mao Shan Wang durian cake! Don’t miss their durian mochis, mille crepe cake, and durian puffs. They also offer islandwide cake delivery.
Without further ado, here’s our reviews on most of the Starbucks Cakes. Worth it or not, you decide!
| Pineapple & Yuzu Cheesecake★★★☆☆Likely no. Weird combination with cheese and coffee, for pairing with tea only. | A tangy tango of pineapple and yuzu in a creamy yuzu-infused cheesecake, topped with pineapple jelly with real pineapple bits. |
| Pink Guava & Peach Cheesecake★★★☆☆Maybe 3.5 stars. Guava and Peach would make a great cake without cheese. | A cheesecake that’ll have you feeling peachy. A creamy cheesecake infused with pink guava and peach jelly chunks topped with a layer of light Chantilly cream. |
| Soy Green Tea Cheesecake★★★★★YES! Goes well with any coffee or tea. | Made less sweet for your enjoyment. Soy cheesecake and green tea cheesecake make a perfect match atop a crunchy cookie base. |
| Lemon Meringue★★★★☆Yes, should try. Refreshing. But unlikely to go with coffee, more for tea. | Our delicious take on the lemon meringue pie – A sweet, tangy tango of lemon curd, cheesecake, and a beautifully torched meringue. |
| Strawberry Shortcake★★☆☆☆Too dry. Solid no. Go Chateraise. | “Truly a berry delight – delicious layers of delicate sponge, fluffy whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Complete with a chocolate strawberry topper for a dreamy bite.”NO. |
| Starbucks Coffee Tiramisu Cake★★★★☆Expecting more coffee aroma and tiramisu without alcohol is just burger without cheese. | “Layers of soft Starbucks® coffee infused sponge and velvety mascapone cheese topped with chantilly cream and cocoa powder.” |
| Lychee Cheesecake★★★★☆Pretty good!Maybe a little more lychee chunks would be delightful! | “Dig into a decadent cheesecake with delightful lychee, apricot and cranberry bits, topped with white chocolate flowers and a dash of dried rose petals.” |
| Carrot Cake★★★★☆Pretty good!But I can never finish this gelak slice myself.Extra moist would be great. | “Sink your fork into a delightful union of moist carrot cake and smooth cream cheese that’s topped with crunchy walnuts.”Yup, generous amount of walnuts. We love it! |
| Signature Chocolate Cake★☆☆☆☆Personally really hate it. It’s dry and not chocolatey enough.Awfully Chocolate, Laurent Bernard and even our own Chocolate Cakes taste richer.For this price, i’t’s a solid no. | “Spoil yourself with this decadent chocolate cake, where layers of chocolate sponge meet luscious dark chocolate, complete with a crunchy biscuit base.”NO. |
| Red Velvet Cake★★★★☆Pretty good!But I can never finish this gelak slice myself.Extra moist would be great. | “A soft, moist, and dreamy treat made up of layers of light sponge cake and glorious cream cheese.”Hmm…not that soft. |
| Good Ol’ NY Cheesecake★★★★☆Pretty good!Maybe improving the dull crust for 5 stars. | A wonderfully decadent slice of cheesecake set on crumbly graham crust, a tasty companion for your fresh brew. |
| Cookie Crumble Cheesecake★★★★★We love it! | A childhood favorite, each bite delights with crumbly cookie chunks and smooth cream cheese. |
Verdict for Starbucks
Soy Green Tea Cheesecake and Cookie Crumble Cheesecake will be your best bet!
Anyway, interesting fact! Did you know Starbucks actually purchased La Boulange, Starbucks also hired the bakery chain’s founder, French baker Pascal Rigo, who since he was 7 has spent years working in bakeries in Bordeaux and Paris. La Boulange is known for baking authentic French pastries and breads from scratch using high-quality, fresh ingredients.
So is your money worth at Starbucks? Pretty much yes. You’re spending on authentic french flavors, but French hates fast food, so… you decide if it’s worth!
Maybe stick to the coffee?
