Where to start
LongMen Bay Hot Pot: make dinner the main stop
39055 Cedar Boulevard, Suite 189
LongMen Bay's own website confirms this Newark address and its current service schedule. Choose it if hot pot is the meal your group wants.
Check the restaurant's menu and service times before leaving. Weekday and weekend meal periods differ. Allow time for the meal itself rather than treating hot pot as a quick stop between other restaurants.
La Farfalla Bakery: cakes for an occasion
39055 Cedar Boulevard, Suite 182
La Farfalla's website lists its Newark branch and cake menu, including mousse cakes and fruit cream cakes. It also lists a Fremont branch on Mission Boulevard, so specify Newark when arranging a pickup.
If you need a particular size or decoration, confirm availability and lead time directly with the bakery. Plan how you will transport and store the cake before adding a long meal afterward.
Toast & Tonique: brunch or a cafe meal
39055 Cedar Boulevard, Suite 198
Toast & Tonique lists espresso, brunch and later dining menus. Its current website includes Korean fried chicken and tikka flatbread alongside other cuisines.
Choose the menu that matches your arrival time. Brunch and the later full menu have different service periods, and the business lists a weekly closure. Check the current schedule rather than assuming every menu is available throughout the day.
Pick a meal or a cake pickup
For a hot pot visit, make LongMen Bay the main stop. For brunch or a cafe meal, look at Toast & Tonique instead. There is no need to eat at both during one outing.
A cake pickup needs its own timing and transport plan. About two hours is an editorial allowance for a seated meal, not a measured route or a promise about restaurant waits. Add the bakery only when its pickup window fits.
Before you go
Share the suite number with anyone meeting you. Follow posted parking rules, and use the current merchant pages for service times and pickup arrangements.
