Innovative pastries w/ creative flavors like ube eclair & ice cream sandwiches; some find it too sweet, others rave about textures.
Supermoon Bakehouse is a bakery that has garnered significant attention for its innovative and visually striking pastries. While many patrons rave about unique creations like the ube eclair and ube pandan ice cream sandwich, finding them to be highlights of their culinary experiences, there's a notable division in opinions. A common critique is that the sweetness of many items can be overwhelming, leading some to find them one-dimensional. Despite this, the bakery is praised for its technical execution, particularly the crisp and airy texture of its laminated pastries, though even this is debated by some.
Supermoon Bakehouse is known for its visually appealing and creative pastries, with many customers highlighting the ube eclair and ube pandan ice cream sandwich as standout items. However, a recurring criticism is that many of their offerings are excessively sweet, sometimes to the point of overshadowing other flavors or making them difficult to finish. While some appreciate the innovation and the rotating menu, others feel the flavors are repetitive or that the quality has decreased over time. Some have also found specific items like certain gelato flavors or the Ferrero Rocher cruffin to be disappointing.
"The ube eclair and ube pandan ice cream sandwich are frequently mentioned as must-try items. Other praised dishes include the strawberry lychee jasmine tea croissant, passionfruit curd donut, and the Honey Roasted Cornflakes, Macadamia & White Chocolate Cookie. Some also recommend the focaccia specials and the "NYC everything cream croissant" when available."
Customers have mixed feelings about Supermoon Bakehouse. While many praise the creative flavors and unique offerings like the ube eclair and ube pandan ice cream sandwich, others find the pastries too sweet and lacking in depth. Some also feel the quality has declined or that the menu has become formulaic.
