Café Esmeralda Cakes & Bakery

Got a cake for my daughters first birthday party, he was able to do it on theme for her party and we all loved it, plus the banana chocolate flavor was a hit so many people wanted to know where we purchased from. Will be getting all our cakes here, very friendly, helped me in choosing the correct size for the amount of people we were having (was going to get one that was way too big) he could have gladly sold the bigger one but he didn't, so so so rare to find honest and kind small businesses esmeralda bakery Is a gem in lincoln heights. They also sell delicious th
rifty ice cream and desserts you can eat inside !

Me and my friends LOVED the cake we bought. Sooooo soooo good. I think about it often and want to go back soon.

Delicious cakes! Always moist and fresh! My family and I always buy cakes here for everyone’s birthday. They also have great customer service!

Amazing cakes and such great taste. They have done the cakes above and beyond from what I have expected. Recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much .

Really good cakes and treats, and the best prices ever. They also have coffee, boba, and ice cream which I didn’t realize until I went in the first time.
Real hidden gem, it’s a good place to hang out for a bit

Excellent

Really great service, tasty cakes, and affordable prices. I have ordered Tres Leches and it was just fine, very moist, not falling apart and soggy it was just right. I recently had a birthday and decided to get a chocolate cake. I came to Esmeralda Cafe but noticed all the cakes on display were strawberry, I asked the lady behind the counter if there were any chocolate cakes available. She went to the back and came back letting me know it would about 10 minutes to ice and write my name on the cake. Amazing! Thank you for helping me have a hassle free experience.

The best cakes, tres leches is the best! They take same day orders always saving my butt.

Love this bakery! I have been getting my cakes from here for every occasion ever since I discovered it. My family loves them because they are perfect in taste and flavor. The owner and staff are also super friendly and courteous. They make any cake design to make your occasion special.

Love their Cakes!Verryyy good customer service !

everything was priced very affordably and is a great place if you want some discount bakery goods. I ate inside and it was a nice little treat, for two people knows about eight dollars. We got a variety of different treats. I think where their specialty is is baking the cakes, glad we stopped by.

The best cakes in Lincoln heights we go and buy cakes over there even if it is not a birthday we love his cakes cheesecake is delicious he has cookies excellent customer service

Best Cake Ever...We ordered the largest cake they make and not a piece was left after shower.....We gave them a basic Pic of what we wanted and they not only met it but exceeded what we were hoping...and the cake was delicious
Highly Recommend

Ordered their signature strawberry cream cake for my baby shower, and it was a hit at the party! Everyone asked where it was from. All the staff are also incredibly nice and we will definitely be back for more cakes for our parties.

The owner was very helpful and kind and the prices were great . They had a lot of options cheesecakes, cake pops, cookies , cakes, scones , ham and jalapeño hot dog buns , ice cream , croissants, etc . They specialize in custom cakes. I did try the desserts when I got home and I have to say the tres leches was a big disappointment. It did not taste good and overly sweet with a lot of sweet cream. I think they should rename it . It didn’t leave a good taste in my mouth . Also the almond brittles were too sweet for me and I like sweet . The almond cookies were so great I love the taste and crunch
