I love the cakes here. The Guava Mousse Cake, the Burnt Almond Cake, and the Princess Cake are three of my favorites. Everyone who works there is nice, and they are open late, 7:30-8:00 pm, depending on the day.

First time I went in this bakery, the ladies making the cake weren’t wearing gloves and endlessly talking to each other while in front of the cake, no mask. 2nd time, the guy was mopping and squeezing the mop next to the table where they make cakes. Last but not the least, THE LADIES IN THE FRONT GETTING ORDERS ARE RUDE. I’m not going back, they are a rip off anyways! Cakes are not really good for its price.

This place probably bakes one of the best versions of practically all your favorite desserts: Mexican wedding cookies, old-school Italian butter cookie assortments that the now-defunct Virginia Bakery in Berkeley used to sell, classic eclairs, strawberry shortcake, tiramisu, Opera cake, Napoleons, croissants, the list is seemingly endless. Very cute space that also sells coffee, and sidewalk seating, too.

Such a beautiful bakery. We stopped in after lunch for a sweet treat & were not disappointed. The staff are friendly & helped us to choose some very tasty items. We tried an amazing chocolate raspberry cake, which is pictured, chocolatelovers should try this for sure. A lemon bar & a lemon cheesecake. The lemon bar had a nice crispy crust, which was almost biscuit like. Sweet but not overwhelming. Tart & delicious. The lemon cheesecake was dense but not overly sweet . A light lemon taste enhanced the cheesecake instead of taking it over. The americano was served piping hot & great brewed fresh.. We will definitely come again.

The cakes from Lavender are always a hit with my guests. Ordering and pick-ups are easy and the person helping me is always knowledgeable and accommodating when I order a cake.

We ordered from Lavender Bakery for a couple of our events at UC Berkeley, School of Information. Their coffee was hot, bakery was fresh and tasty, and they delivered on time. Their service was impeccable as well, everything they promised was executed. Ali helped me customize the order. All in all, a seamless process. I highly recommend ordering from them.
We arrived at 7:45 pm to grab some desserts to take home, and the girls had closed early. They just smiled from behind the counter. Boooooo

The cake taste was amazing and looked pretty. they made our cake on time even though I ordered it less than a week before my friend and I birthday. Regarding their team, they were really patient and supportive and brainstormed designs ideas with us so the cake looks nicer.

I ordered a raspberry mousse cake for my daughter’s birthday and she received a hazelnut mousse cake. When I contacted them, there were a series of excuses but no responsibility.
