FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How fresh are your pastries?

Everything is baked to order in small batches, usually within a day of shipping or pickup. We never bake ahead and freeze for shipping orders.

2. How should I store my treats, and how long do they last?

Keep cookies, shortbread, and brownies in an airtight container at room temperature, away from heat and sun. They're best within 5-7 days. You can freeze them for up to a month; thaw at room temperature in the sealed container. Pickup-only items like bánh bò and mochi muffins are best the same day or the next.

3. Do your products contain allergens?

Yes. Our products commonly contain wheat, milk, eggs, soy, tree nuts, sesame, and coconut, and every item lists its allergens on the menu. Everything is made in a home kitchen that handles all of these, so we can't guarantee any item is allergen-free. If you have a severe allergy, please email us before ordering.

4. Where do you ship?

We ship anywhere within California. We don't ship outside the state at this time.

5. How does local pickup work?

Choose "Local Pickup – Dublin, CA" at checkout and select an available day. Pickup details and the exact location will be in your confirmation email. Pickup days: [TBD].

6. How far ahead do I need to order?

Regular orders need at least [TBD, e.g., 3-5] days' notice. Gift boxes during holidays and Lunar New Year sell out, so we recommend ordering 1-2 weeks ahead. Large or custom orders need at least [TBD, e.g., 2 weeks].

7. Do you take custom or bulk orders?

Yes! We love baking for birthdays, school events, baby showers, and corporate gifts. Email ops@emeraldpastry.com with your date, quantity, and flavors, and we'll put together a quote.
