TOP 3 ANGEL CAKES REVIEWS
We ordered a mini cupcake for everyone at our wedding and they were very popular. We had several taste options, having visited and tried the different flavors. We also got a small cake 'topper' for ourselves. They were all delicious. Consider giving this small venue your business. You won't be disappointed. Btw, if you looking for the Angel Cakes that used to be off Tenth Street in Berkeley, you found it. They moved since our order to Oakland on 5th & Brush St.
Fantastic cupcakes run by people with great values. My friend recently did a special order for a party and each cupcake was beautifully decorated and absolutely delectable. We got an assortment of flavors and they were all yummy.
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.

TOP 3 JAMES & THE GIANT CUPCAKE REVIEWS
This is a very awesome local business to support which is owned by super awesome women! They are located next door to sweet cafe and a few small boutiques on a busy street, in a residential neighborhood. Allow time for parking and exploring the whole block. I was lucky enough to find a jewelry store a few doors down that quickly gift wrapped a lovely necklace for my BFF the birthday girl while I was picking up her cupcakes last week. This original location on San Pablo and Alcatraz was so popular that they now have a second location in the Jack London District. They make delicious cupcakes, small and large, for ALL occasions. The chocolate one topped with an Oreo cookie is my favorite. They have salted caramel cupcakes, strawberry short cake, and all kinds of diverse flavors along with traditional ones. It's so fun to get an assortment of mini cupcakes so that your guests can all have a two bite taste of each flavor. They are all unique, pretty, and of course, delicious. You can usually order ahead, online or by phone. They will even DELIVER! Isn't that a total game changer for party planners!? Visit their website to get inspired. I think the prices are fair and that it's a treat to support these amazing women who own the business and do so much for other people around them.
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.
This is the best specialty cupcake shop I've been to! Typically I find that cupcake shops are overly trendy and are sustained by being instragram-worthy, not actually flavorful. James and the Giant Cupcake blows all of those assumptions away!! I have tried 15+ flavors at this point and they have all been amazing. Not overly sweet, fun, seasonal flavors, and beautiful presentation! Do yourself a favor and get yourself some cupcakes from here.

TOP 3 IT'S ALL GOOD BAKERY INC REVIEWS
A friend introduced me to some of their family tradition here and I've been a customer ever since. They have a specialized menu, and I can only speak to the sweet potato pie and pecan pies, both of which are wonderful - not too sweet, just the thing for a family table. Not inexpensive but very much worth it, especially if it is part of your tradition. Plan your visit near the major winter holidays; the first time I went I was in a line that went around the corner. It took over an hour and a half to get in the store, but everyone was friendly and remained in good spirits. I have seen signs in the windows: "Hiring friendly people", and they are very good at that. The store itself is very much a community-oriented tradition.
It’s all good Bakery is absolutely scrumptious. I grew up in the south, around Savannah Georgia and these cakes remind me of family get togethers. The 7-Up Cake is #1 for me and the yellow cake with chocolate frosting is runner up. I can’t wait to try y’all’s strawberry shortcake, sock it to me cake and pies Mmmm - Shout out to Miss ShaRonda, she’s The Best! Much Love to Everyone. Go get y’all some of this goodness in your lives ASAP... for real why you still sitting there GO Now.
It’s not really a sit down place, and the decor may not be much to look at, but the baked goods are simple, low-key and delicious. Unpretentious, reasonably priced, and a great spot to check out if you’re in the neighborhood.
