Got a chocolate cupcake. Tasted dry and bland. I had tasted better ones made from a box. Not much chocolate flavor. Butter cream was also below par. Not sure I want to eat anymore after taking one bite. Not worth filling my stomach when there are so many better options around. Customer service was also not great. Didn't feel welcomed here.

March is a busy month of friends and family members' birthdays. Appreciate a bakery dedicated to cakes. The Cakery is a small cake shop on Burlingame Ave in Burlingame. Parking is on the street. No dining areas but of course, there are benches along Burlingame Ave. Sometimes it's just nice to get a sample of cake slices versus a whole cake to celebrate a birthday. We enjoyed the vegan mango tarts, marjolaine cake, and dark chocolate mouse cake. The vegan mango treats came as two pieces and were so good if you prefer a fruity sweet treat. The marjolaine cake seemed dry to our taste. While the dark chocolate mouse cake was heavenly to taste as it was so light in sponge but gave you a good sample of dark chocolate that wasn't rich but just right in texture and smoothness. Will likely return for either a whole cake to order or just get a sample of goodies.

I really enjoyed my strawberry shortcake and my order was ready for pickup at the appointed time. My girlfriend thought the cake was a little 'dry'. I don't know that I agree with her opinion. The cream frosting was fresh and delicious as were the strawberries

This place is nestled between popular cafe/bakeries, but in terms of food, I liked this place better! And there's no line. SMOKED SALMON ON CROISSANT - so good!! Their croissant is buttery and soft, and with a generous amount of salmon neatly packed in together. I kind of wish there was a sauce on the side to go with it. Bestie had the turkey wrap. He liked it but my salmon croissant was superior. Also the CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT CAKE (not the official name aha) this was so good! Dense and nutty with rich hazelnut and chocolate flavor. Best eaten the day of, as it dried out in my fridge aha. The interior feels quite empty, with some tables by the window, it might be cuter and more functional!

Received cupcakes yesterday as a birthday gift via Uber Eats. Sadly they were just blah. Not a lot of flavor, frosting was too sweet and bland, the cake itself was dry. I've made better cupcakes from a box with more flavor and better texture. They tasted like cupcakes made several days ago :( super disappointing

First of all .... Any bakery that has gluten free options is a super big plus in my book. And..... any bakery that bakes everything in house is Another huge plus in my book as well. The Cakery in Burlingame just outside of SF is a must stop as you stroll along the Avenue.... 1308 Burlingame Ave, Burlingame, CA 94010 The staff is super friendly and the fresh baked aromas almost make you purchase all their baked goods.

Hurts my heart to write this after DECADES of this being our FIVE STAR go-to spot for our special family events, down to ONE and possibly may not go back again. I even gave feedback to a shopkeeper and instead of listening I just heard a lot of excuses. I was told when management changed last year that they would be keeping all of the recipes, but there has been a steep decline in quality paired with the increase in prices. Our family always, ALWAYS orders the mango mousse cake for my mom, passionfruit mousse for me. They used to have a beautiful exterior striped cake wrap which I'm told is now not available because it contains nuts. Okay, understandable. This past year we ordered the mango mouse for my mom and the cake portion was cut so slanted that there was literally NO cake on the bottom on about a 3rd of the cake, only mousse! The mousse was sugary and less tart than usual and you could even feel the granular texture of the sugar in the mousse. The passionfruit strawberry for me did not taste fresh at all. I picked up in the morning but the cake was a weird texture of old dried out and then soggy from the mousse. Cakery had a good thing, beautiful little cakes, fresh, wonderful presentation, and there was no need to change (e.g. why are the mini cakes rectangular now like every other bakery and not the beautiful individual round). Really wish the new management will take these comments to heart without being defensive, and understand why so many people loved The Cakery and how it's been a part of our community. Wishing so much for it to be back to the quality it used to be.
I ordered 7 dozen cup cakes - all flavors. They looked good but the frosting on all of them was really disappointing. Velvet cupcakes and carrot should have cream cheese frosting? These did not. The frosting on all of them was very blah and flat tasking which makes me think they dont use butter or cream cheese. We were disappointed. I hope they rethink the frosting and ingredients to be more flavorful.

Very sweet staff and a super cute bakery in a busy shopping area of Burlingame. They were very accommodating when I needed to change the pickup time for my cake, and they even provided a candle and a happy birthday sign. The coffee crunch cake was delicious, but it's a cake you have to special order at least two days in advance! It's huge and heavy so be careful when transporting it! The cookies here also look delicious, so I can't wait to come back!

Really nice pastries and cakes! I ordered a few mini cakes for my birthday and they all were delicious and very creamy! Cute little bakery nestled in the heart of Burlingame. They've got everything! Cakes, cupcakes, custom made or by the slice. They have a website you can engage with them about orders or custom builds. They do cakes for all occasions. In ordered the Double Chocolate Mousse cake which was amazing! Very creamy and airy! This dessert will not weigh you down. The Swedish Princess slice is good, too, and creamy with berry jam layer inside. The Mango Mousse cake is vegan and surprisingly creamy and very good. Two little cake bars with lots of mango bursting on top of a graham cracker moist crust. I definitely recommend this bakery for all your sweets needs!

I just ordered cupcakes on ubereats from this exact location and my whole order tasted severely freezer burned. They didn't taste fresh, It was more like they just had them sitting in the refrigerator for days on end. I had ordered the Carmel, vanilla, red velvet, sundae, and Oreo cupcakes, the frosting on every single one tasted old and spoiled. I am highly disappointed and will never be coming here for cupcakes ever again.

Omg I used to love this bakery but something has gone awfully wrong with this place. I ordered a tiramisu and it was just a chocolate sheet cake with some cream on top. The strawberry shortcake had almost no strawberries in them. Cakery has turned into one of those fake Bay Area bakeries with French sounding names. Sadly won't be going back again.
