This local bakery currently has four branches, primarily selling bread and cakes, and also features a takeaway coffee bar. Their full month gift boxes offer up to 17 flavors of long-bar cakes, allowing customers to choose 2 or 4 to create a personalized combination. Beyond cakes, the gift boxes can also be freely paired with handmade cookies, glutinous rice with chicken, red eggs, and dacquoise, with four round cake options also available. The venue provides a generous Full Month Cake tasting service, allowing you to sample five cake slices and one Boston cream pie. Expectant mothers who are 35 weeks pregnant or more, or those who have recently given birth, can pick up their tasting box in-store by making an online reservation 1 to 2 days in advance. Home delivery is also available for an additional shipping fee of NT$160. Pickup times are also quite flexible, available daily between 4 PM and 8 PM. This service allows parents to more conveniently plan their schedules and gift-giving arrangements. ### 森森點心房 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #The Lemon Grandma Cake Set makes a generous gift REVIEWED BY [伊塔塔](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E4%BC%8A%E5%A1%94%E5%A1%94/) For this order, Itata chose the L1 Countryside Gift Box. She originally wanted a combination of four different flavors of sliced loaf cakes, but due to the smaller order quantity, she ultimately opted for the popular honey cake, along with three smaller treats: lemon cake, Kitty cake, and handmade cookies. Many Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes venues primarily feature Boston cream pie, but Sensens Dim Sum House's Boston cream pie isn't particularly famous, so this time she decided to try something different and selected the "Lemon Grandma" cake, which is less common at other venues offering these cakes. Sensens Dim Sum House's cakes lean towards a traditional, old-fashioned style. The honey cake has a fluffy texture that isn't dry or flat; the first bite felt a bit plain, but it became smoother and more enjoyable with each subsequent bite, soft and not overly sweet. As for the Lemon Grandma cake, the cake itself is fluffy and moist, complemented by a thick, crispy lemon glaze, with a perfectly balanced sweet-tart flavor and good overall layering. Between the two, Itata personally recommends the Lemon Grandma cake more! The smaller treats in the gift box, however, were rather ordinary. The lemon cake looked nice, but the outer lemon chocolate shell was too thick and sweet, and didn't blend well with the cake itself. The Kitty cake and handmade cookies had a bland flavor and weren't particularly memorable, so they aren't especially recommended. Overall, this Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes venue offers a "traditional" style, with a wide selection of cake flavors. A single gift box can be customized with four different flavors, so you won't get tired of them. If you're looking for a unique Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes gift that both elders and children will enjoy, the "Lemon Grandma" cake is definitely worth trying; as for the smaller treats, there's no need to add them specially—saving a bit of money is just right.

While online ordering is available, the brand also has counters at the HSR Zuoying Station and department stores, with its main store near Formosa Boulevard retaining the charm of a traditional pastry shop. The venue offers a comprehensive Full Month Cake tasting service: expectant mothers who are 36 weeks pregnant or more can apply via an online form. After receiving the application, the venue will proactively contact you within 3 to 5 business days to arrange pickup or delivery. The Full Month Cake tasting program offers a choice of free self-pickup or paid delivery. Picking up directly from the Formosa Boulevard main store is completely free. For delivery service, a shipping fee of NT$160 applies, which can be deducted from a future order. The tasting selection includes five cake slices, such as Napoleon Cake and Orange Knight. Customers who wish to sample glutinous oil rice can also note this on the application form. For formal orders, the Full Month gift box options are quite diverse. In addition to classic log cakes, you can customize your box with red eggs, round cakes, glutinous oil rice, or Boston cream pies according to your preferences. Please note that self-pickup for these cakes is currently only available at the Kaohsiung Formosa Boulevard main store. ### 不二緻果 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #A bite of classic Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes that will capture your soul REVIEWED BY [伊塔塔](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E4%BC%8A%E5%A1%94%E5%A1%94/) Buer Zhiguo is already a famous Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes venue, and this time, our mystery shopper Itata chose the "Newborn Calf [6]" gift box. It contains four slices of cake: Orange Knight, Mangoro General, Napoleon Pie, and Starry Cocoa, along with one Cocoa Crisp, three Osmanthus Crisps, one Osmanthus Dacquoise, one Original Palmiers, and one Lemon Cake. This gift box features many of the same cake items as the Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes tasting selection, plus other popular Buer Zhiguo items, making it a very generous assortment. The cake slices are individually packaged, making them easy to store and carry. The Orange Knight is a honey cake paired with orange jam, offering a refreshing and non-greasy taste. The Mangoro General is a rich chocolate cake with a slightly drier texture. The Napoleon Pie has vanilla cake on the outside, puff pastry inside, and is adorned with cream and almond flakes. However, perhaps because it was a slice, the part that should have been crispy was soft and damp, which was a bit disappointing. The Starry Cocoa was the cake Itata was most looking forward to. It has a chocolate cake exterior and a filling reminiscent of a strawberry mochi cookie. The strawberry aroma was noticeable even before the first bite, and the texture was rich and layered, creating a pleasant surprise. The gift box also included a rather ordinary chocolate cookie, a solid and tasty dacquoise, and an osmanthus crisp that resembled a sun cake but lacked a bit of flavor. By this point, Itata had almost given up hope for the rest of the box, but Buer Zhiguo's Lemon Cake was truly a revelation—a single bite was enough to capture the soul! The lemon aroma is abundant, and the lemon chocolate shell offers a perfectly balanced sweet and sour taste. The chocolate and cake blend seamlessly, making it clear why this item is so popular that it can be sold individually. Although the Lemon Cake wasn't part of the official tasting selection, if you're trying Buer Zhiguo, we highly recommend buying one to savor!

Customers can choose the most convenient venue for tastings and orders. Opera offers Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes tastings specifically for expectant mothers who are at least 35 weeks pregnant. To apply, simply photograph your maternity handbook and email it to the designated address. The website does not specify how far in advance reservations are required. The tasting box for Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes costs NT$150, which is fully redeemable against a future order. It includes eight types of treats, such as Florentine, Hawaiian tarts, and honey bear cakes, with a total value of approximately NT$400, allowing parents to sample a variety of items at a great price. The official Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes feature long cakes as the main item, with six flavors available for customers to mix and match with various small treats. In addition to the standard options, there are also two-tone bear cakes and fresh cream buche de Noel gift boxes. However, the product line only offers Western-style desserts and optional red eggs, with no glutinous rice dishes. ### Opera 歐貝拉洋菓子 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes: The Refined Route REVIEWED BY [伊塔塔](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E4%BC%8A%E5%A1%94%E5%A1%94/) This time, our mystery shopper Itata sampled Opera's "Happiness Gift Box - Cookie Set B (Room Temperature Cake Set)," which included one room-temperature cake, a chocolate bear cake, a honey bear cake, a lemon mini-cake, a walnut tina, a Hawaiian tart, a Venus chocolate, and a Furo cookie. This set largely overlaps with the Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes tasting box, but Itata specifically chose the room-temperature assortment for its convenient storage. Opera's Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes gift box features exquisite packaging: vibrant colors, a sturdy carrying bag, a ribbon-adorned outer box, and even a thoughtful elastic band sewn in. The attention to detail and overall quality are impressive. The cakes and cookies also performed well. Itata's choice of the "Orange Loaf Cake" had a texture similar to a pound cake—moist and dense, with fragrant orange zest in every bite. The two-tone bear cakes and cookies were also commendable. The "Lemon Cake" deserves a special shout-out; it was absolutely astonishing! While most lemon cakes feature a lemon chocolate shell, Opera's version is different, using a lemon "grandmother's cake" style glaze. Its distinct tartness, paired with a moist cake body, is both refreshing and not overly sweet. Itata devoured the entire thing before even realizing it, immediately thinking of buying more the next day—it was that good! Overall, although the tasting box for these Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes is a bit small and requires an additional fee, its quality justifies the price, positioning it as a "refined" option. The only minor drawback is that the flavors lean sweet, so it's best enjoyed with black coffee or unsweetened tea to balance the richness. When Itata picked up the order, she also noticed that this Kaohhiung venue offers a wide variety of these cakes, with most individual items available for separate purchase. If you fall in love with a particular item, you can easily buy it individually, which is very convenient for customers!

This vegetarian bakery has been in business for 57 years, and in addition to these gift boxes, it also provides traditional Chinese pastries, bread, and Western-style desserts. The tasting package, valued at approximately NT$700, includes a substantial selection: * One whole Boston cream pie * One slice of a long cake * One glutinous rice and red egg set: This includes 8 liang of glutinous rice, two red eggs, and one charcoal-grilled cake, with options for either vegetarian or non-vegetarian. To apply for the tasting service, you must make a reservation three days in advance and meet specific eligibility requirements. Mothers who are 32 weeks pregnant or within 30 days postpartum can apply via the official website or LINE account by presenting their maternity handbook. You can choose free in-store pickup, though this service is not available on Mondays. If you opt for home delivery, a shipping fee of NT$160 applies, and delivery is not available on Sundays or Mondays. For formal orders of these gift boxes, Jinlongcai also provides considerable customization flexibility. Customers can create their own unique gift box by freely combining various items such as long cakes, Boston cream pies, rolled cakes, or even glutinous rice sets and mochi, all tailored to their budget and personal preferences. ### 金龍彩 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #57-year-old venue offers generous free Boston Pie tastings REVIEWED BY [伊塔塔](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E4%BC%8A%E5%A1%94%E5%A1%94/) This time, Itata sampled the Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes Boston Pie Gift Box A3, along with an additional Golden Brick Lava Chocolate Cake. Jinlongcai offers a wide variety of these gift boxes, so many that it was almost overwhelming to choose, but ultimately the blueberry Boston Pie paired with five small treats was selected. The Boston Pie itself is fluffy and light with a moderate sweetness, and the blueberry cream even contains real blueberry pieces, making for a rich, multi-layered texture that isn't cloying. The Golden Brick Lava Chocolate Cake has fewer pairing options, so a single loaf was specially ordered for tasting, and there were absolutely no regrets—in fact, it was a relief to have ordered it! When first taken from the freezer, the cake was firm and a bit difficult to cut, but it was incredibly surprising to eat, with a texture like chocolate ice cream and a rich chocolate explosion in the mouth. Paired with soft sponge cake layers above and below, the filling also hides nuts and chocolate chips for a rich, multi-layered experience. Once the cake thawed slightly, its texture transformed into a smooth, creamy mousse, satisfying whether eaten frozen or after thawing. Even friends who joined the tasting unanimously praised it! The only drawback is that there are currently not many Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes gift boxes that can be paired with this cake, but it comes highly recommended for dessert-loving parents, and it's worth buying just for yourself! As for the other five small treats (egg-free cake, lemon cake, cookies, shortbread tart, red bean pastry), their overall performance was decent—not bad, but not particularly surprising either. Their advantage lies in their ease of preservation and portability, but unless you have a particular preference for these types of snacks, Itata believes there's no need to specially add them on. Overall, whether it's the Boston Pie, the small treats, or the chocolate lava cake, Jinlongcai demonstrates consistent quality and diverse options. The wide variety of cakes and flexible pairings allow for free selection of ambient small treats, refrigerated cakes, or even glutinous rice combinations. Coupled with good business, fresh ingredients, and efficient ordering and pickup processes, this is a highly recommended Kaohsiung Full Month Cakes venue!
