I recommend Shuei-Do Manju Shop. They have really good Mochi. Nice and fresh. If you're a mochi fan, and you haven't tried Shuei-Do, you definitely need to try it! Their business is really good, many times they have long lines and if you go too late, they sell out pretty quickly, so you if you go too late, you may not get any!

If you're looking for good tasting cream puffs, consider Beard Papa's. They have really good cream puffs. All sorts of different flavors/fillings. They have their original Vanilla, Chocolate, Green Tea, Coffee, Earl Grey Tea, Pumpkin, Strawberry, and more.
They always have their original Vanilla flavor and all the other flavors are by week. They change their flavors every week and will always have a "Flavor of the Week". I personally like their Strawberry cream puffs. Original Vanilla's not bad either.

If you're looking for good pineapple cakes, I recommend 佳德糕餅 Chia Te bakery. Their pineapple cakes are really good. I've never been there before but a friend brought a box for us from Taiwan. They have regular pineapple cakes and also cranberry pineapple cakes. I personally think that the cranberry pineapple cakes are better than the regular ones, but they're both really good.

This is a pretty good Italian restaurant. First time there, and it wasn't bad. The setting of the restaurant is looks nice too. The food is pretty good and I would probably like to go back some other time when I have the chance.
