43 & Company

First, if you actually read some of the lower-starred reviews, you'll find some of them are lazy AF. "I didn't like the sampler" and "It didn't taste like another bakery" are pretty bad reasons for 2/3-star reviews.Okay, setting my indignation aside....43 & Company catered our desserts.We ordered the following for our wedding of 140:-75 matcha cream pies-25 banana cream pies-125 mini coffee toffee cookies-30 mini vegan horchata cookiesThe order was approximately $1300 at the time of our wedding (September 2024).Our guests were mostly couples, so we were able to go with slightly smaller quantities because we were pretty sure some couples would share. And we were right! We had leftovers. We also had plenty of guests asking who catered our desserts.If I had to do it all over again, I would go 50 matcha cream pies and 50 banana cream pies (apparently people LOVE bananas, even though I'm personally not a fan).Taste-wise, what I really appreciate about the desserts I selected is that they AREN'T TOO SWEET!!!! My fellow people who ask for 30-50% sweetness with their boba drinks, just go with the items I posted above and I'm pretty sure you'll be happy.43 & Company also offers other selections which might suit more of the 100% sweetness crowd, but I'll let someone else chime in on those items.

Banana Cream Pie! It's their signature product for good reason.I also tried their bite size dessert samples (lemon and fruit tarts, coffee and chocolate cakes). Though they were yummy, not good enough to justify the price. This is a dessert vendor selling products at a higher price point. For special occasions, I will splurge. If you can't justify spending over $70 on a delicious 9 inch pie, this is not the type of dessert store for you. They are timely and the logistics are well planned. Use their website to view all the products they offer and place an order. Pre-order only and pretty accurate instructions on how to pick up the order. I selected my date/time. I even received a reminder text around the time of pick-up so that I don't forget. The pictures on Yelp were useful when finding the building. There's a pineapple buzzer up front by the door that I pressed to notify them I arrived. The order was packed and brought out to me quickly. Easy first transaction with this business. Pie was stellar.

I decided to order a fruit tart from here for a Thanksgiving party. It was quite pricey at $78 but I decided to splurge because I've been wanting to try this spot. The fruit tart serves around 7-9 people. It had a variety of fruit which all tasted fresh. The crust was buttery and the cream wasn't too sweet. Everyone at the party enjoyed it as well. It was good but nothing extraordinary. For the price point, I don't think I'd get it again.

Love the ease of ordering desserts from 43 and company! I've ordered the matcha cream pie and banana cream pie and both are made to perfection. My personal favorite is the banana cream pie. It's the prefect taste of not too sweet. I'd definitely order again for another celebration or birthday.

I'm sad to say but it looked better than it tasted. I had such high hopes for this sampler box and not one person in my family enjoyed it. I personally liked the tart the most so if I had to recommend something it would be the fruit tart.

We had 43 & Company cater our desserts for our wedding and it blew us away! From our first communication email with LikLing, we knew we would be in good hands. We opted for 6 different desserts (cream puffs, panna cotta, creme brulee, fruit tarts, cupcakes) and all our guests praised how moist and delicious everything was! Nothing was to sweet, nothing was dry, and everything tasted fresh. The pricing is very reasonable and they even offered to deliver and set-up our dessert table for our wedding. The team showed up on time, set everything up perfectly, and left our guests speechless! If you are looking for dessert catering for any event, do yourself a favor and inquire with 43&. You will not be disappointed!

Style and substance! I am always on the hunt for a coconut cream pie that's a dupe of Dahlia Bakery's triple coconut cream pie (Seattle) so I needed to check this one out. I ordered a coconut cream pie, a fruit tart, a pineapple cupcake, and a lemon tart - all in the mini size. But when I win the lottery, I'll be sure to be back to give my winnings to this place in exchange for the full size versions of their delicious desserts.

Delicious cream pies and cakes! This is a pick-up business without a storefront but they make super yummy goodies! I've heard lots about the banana cream pie so that was one of the items I ordered. It definitely lived up to the hype; creamy and banana-y! The crust is also flakey. The items that stood out to me were the banana cream pie, coconut cream pie, fruit tart, and the chocolate cake. They satisfied my sweet tooth without being too sweet. Highly recommend if you are looking to try out some desserts.

Tried the special Taro-Ube-Miso cake. Spectacular. Light, fresh cream and a balanced Ube and Taro filling. I've heard the banana cream is the signature and I will definitely try that next time.

This is a review for the banana cream tart. Tartine's banana cream tart is probably one of the best things I've ever eaten, but driving from the South Bay to SF is a pain. When I saw an Instagram post featuring 43&Co's banana cream tart, I knew I had to try it in hopes of finding a more conveniently located replacement. My husband picked one up for my birthday. First impressions: nicely packaged, plentiful chocolate on top. Unfortunately, it lacks the richness of Tartine's. It isn't as flavorful. The crust is flaky, but lacks the buttery taste. The chocolate isn't as bitter as Tartine's. The pastry cream and heavy cream don't have distinctive flavors. And the worst part - 43&Co's costs nearly $10 more! It's not bad tasting by any means but it's just not Tartine.
