ANGEL CAKES REVIEWS

An amazing place to get cupcakes! Their best sellers are Meyer Lemon Cream, Chocolate Salted Caramel, and Red Velvet. Those flavors are all really good, and I love their daily assortment, but I have to say that my most favorite flavor is the Vanilla Salted Caramel, if you are lucky enough to be there on a day it is featured try it, you will not be disappointed.

Ordered a custom cake for our son’s 100th day celebration. Communication via email was easy. I sent a inspo pic and the cake came out beautifully and was delicious. The red velvet was moist and so yummy!.

I have passed by many times, and this is the first time I walked in, the lady was very friendly. I'm Cantonese, I like things that are not too sweet, the eggnog flavor tastes great. Will buy again.

JAMES & THE GIANT CUPCAKE REVIEWS

Support this (kinda hidden) local business! Very tasty cupcakes! It’s hard to find a good gluten free cupcake and their tiny chocolate cupcakes did not disappoint! The cheesecake frosting I stole from my bf’s regular cupcake was also very good. The cupcakes are kinda pricey, not something I’d buy all the time, but until my next visit: I’m going to be craving them for sure! Park around the corner by the school, San Pablo St doesn’t have much available.

Delicious cupcakes! Great attention to detail. The frosting is good and the cake is moist and the flavor is even better. The owner and staff are friendly, happy and kind people with a sense of great customer service. I ordered 3 dozen mini cupcakes for an event and they were done on time, looked beautiful and were a hit with my guests. Quite a gem of a place!.

The cakes and cupcakes here are SO delicious. I've gotten cupcakes for work, cakes for family celebrations and any other reason I can think of to order. Just that good!.

ALICE STREET BAKERY CAFÉ REVIEWS

It’s a lovely place, the food was really good and had good prices, the drinks were creative and delicious, they have much variety and even let you order without talking. My only disappointment which isn’t really much is just that I expected a little more whimsy in the decoration, I love the concept of Alice in wonderland, I thought there would be merch and more decoration matching the theme. Still if you’re In the area I would recommend the place, very good.

Only a few days before a retirement party I decided we needed a specially-decorated cake for 25 people. Des was a joy to work with to make it happen, even at such short notice, and the resulting cake was a masterpiece and the star of the show! Thank you so much :-).

Have been ordering their custom cakes for years for kids party celebrations! Great sponge fruit cake not too sweet and wonderful service!.
