Custom Cakes near Pasadena, CA

“Yesterday was my second time coming in! The pastries are delicious and I love the variety, but yesterday I found what looked like a bristle from a kitchen scrub brush in my Kouign-amann! I was thoroughly enjoying my pastry, when I felt something like plastic in my mouth. At first it looked like a hair, but it’s definitely plastic. I believe this was probably a mistake, but I think they should aim to be a bit more careful with this. Again, the pastries did taste great though. I’d still return for more.“

“Paul is very nice and made me feel so welcomed! He remembered me even though I've only been there once. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. If I recall correctly, he said that the strawberry cake ball, coffee cake, and a few others were popular picks.

There is only outdoor sidewalk seating (a total of 3 small tables with 2 seats each). The interior is tiny, and it carries the feel of a quick in-and-out pickup store. It's also right across the street from Pasadena's Central Park if you're looking for a stroll while you eat.

It's very transit-accessible. It's a 5 minute walk from the A line Del Mar station.

death by chocolate cookie ($3.85) - It's just a typical double chocolate cookie! It's a little gritty and dry (maybe it's gluten free?) but still delicious nonetheless.

coffee cake ($5.88) - sweet, with a flavor of cinnamon (not in an overpowering way). If you enjoy coffee cake, definitely get this, as vegan coffee cake is a rarity in Pasadena and LA.

ice cream sandwich ($9.25) - honestly, i think this was a little too sweet for me. The ice cream itself was plain vanilla soft serve, but when sandwiched by two entire chocolate chip cookies, I think the sweetness can be overpowering. Keep in mind that it also melts very fast (since it has the consistency of soft serve) and this makes it hard to keep the whole sandwich in shape. If you do not plan to eat it right away, I would not recommend getting this as it'll melt in a mere minute.“

“My little kid love this....😋“

“When the scoop’s too cold,
Lick it like it’s hot.
When the cone starts to fold,
Flip it like it’s not.
If your sprinkles hit the floor,
Scoop ‘em off the spot,
I got thirty-one flavors,
And they all taste hot!“

“Leslie and her team are amazing!!! Have been doing mine and my husbands birthday cakes for years . Now started to do my sons. They have the best everything!!! Best cookies, cupcakes , cakes pastries. You name it and it’s amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😋😋😋“

“🐾 I don’t chase squirrels… I chase good croissants. 🥐

This bakery had been on my human’s LA must-visit list forever and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We waited about 30 mins and the Morning Earl Grey Croissant was worth the wait and WOW… I’m still thinking about it. I’d wag my tail all the way back for another.

This place is dog friendly with a great patio and the humans were so welcoming. They also keep things exciting with rotating specialty croissants and fun collaborations, so there’s always a reason to come back.

We actually tried coming back the following Saturday… but the line literally wrapped around the building! I guess everyone else was craving croissants too.

Safe to say this won’t be my last visit. Now excuse me while I convince my human we need to plan trip number three. 🐾🥐💛“

“Quite unique and yummy pastries.. Highly recommend“

“I absolutely LOVED (!!!!!!!!) my keto and sugar-free cake from Valentine Sweets.

First, the cake was absolutely PERFECT when my friend picked it up. Any minor frosting imperfections in these photos happened a few days later after pickup when it was not eaten right away and are completely my fault.

The cake is sweetened with monk fruit and has no grains. It tasted genuinely delicious, like classic birthday cake from my childhood. As someone on a long gut-healing journey with a lot of dietary restrictions, this felt like a dream come true. Also, no artificial food dye! Swoon!!!!

My friends without dietary restrictions loved it too, so it is not just me saying this. Also truly the prettiest birthday cake I have ever had.

I highly recommend Valentine Sweets. Great customer service, amazing ingredients, and the aesthetic is the best I have seen. My friends couldn't get over the cute little frosting bows. So delicate and sweet. I will definitely be ordering again the next time I am in LA.“

“They have very good pastries, bánh my and moon cake“

“Great place for Pastries.“

“Awesome spot these people are extremely nice and have great customer service! We bought 2 cakes and the cashier gave us a free slice of CHOCOLATE CAKE 🍰 im obsessed thank you so much would absolutely come back and a million times recommended! 💗💗💗🫰🏻🫰🏻“

“Long-standing bakery in Chinatown that’s probably become LA iconic spot to visit when around the area. Interestingly they might have kept most design unchanged so you could totally felt it in the store vibe.

It’s constantly busy throughout the day but they served very speedily and they had plenty of servers making the line moving in a blink. Good news, they weren’t cash only like typical similar store around the area.

They’re popular for the strawberry cream cake, but I chose to go with the custard bun and wintermelon pie as I wasn’t a fan of that kind of cream and spongecake.

The bun was fluffy and moist and tasted as good as the scent we could smell when walking around the bakery. Always loved when simple old-school stuff turned out good and stuck with people’s liking. The wintermelon pie base somewhat reminded me of the crumbly style mooncake skin, just that this one had unique filling. I loved wintermelon as a drink but this was my first time having it as pie!“

“Butter Lab is a gem!!!! The desserts here are excellent. I ordered an assortment of crinkle cookies, Ube tres leches, pandan Basque cheesecake and a coffee. Staff was friendly and gave great recommendations. I can't wait to come back. My new fave spot in the SGV for desserts hands down!“

“Their CAKES! Came across this Bakery while driving bye. Went in a purchased a scrumptious cake. Now I’m a convert. This will be my numero uno cake place. Sorry Phoenix and Queens Bakeries.“

“The best. Done and done. They go that extra mile when you need it most.“

“They did an amazing job with my grandmother's 75th birthday cake. It was a lemon cake with lemon buttercream and lemon curd. It tasted so fantastic. Everyone was giving compliments on the cake design and flavor. My grandmother was in love!! People even complimented the fondant which was surprising haha.“

“This weekend, at my niece’s Sweet 16 celebration, I tasted a cake that completely changed my mind about dessert. I usually hate cake—but this one? Hands down the most delicious, unforgettable slice I’ve ever had. I was so blown away, I had to ask my sister-in-law where she got it and the exact location. It was that good.“

“Yesterday, I ordered a birthday cake ? for my son's birthday ?. This was my first order from Van, and I was pretty sure it would be tasty and satisfy my expectations because they wrote: "Under New Management!" So, I expected they would do their best to boost their sales, and I was right. The chocolate cake with strawberry ? and raspberry was delicious ?. The whole family loved it!“

“Best egg tarts in town. It’s carb worthy. Love the mini fruit tarts, pineapple buns, scallion buns, thick toast as well.“

“Great small cake shop that has unique flavors!“

“I’ve tried almost every single bakery shop in the Glendale and Pasadena areas, and this place is by far the absolute best.
her cakes look completely stunning and fantastic, the taste is just unreal. I recently got two cakes for a birthday the signature Moka cake and the banana strawberry one and honestly, both of them were so delicious. Everyone at the party couldn't stop talking about how good they were!
Plus, for how high-quality and gorgeous these cakes are, the price is actually reasonable. If you need a birthday cake that will seriously wow your guests, you have to order from here. I'm officially a customer for life!“

“Cakery Bakery was kind enough to donate a few dozen cupcakes to a community celebration at Flintridge Bookstore this past weekend. They were enjoyed by all the children in attendance - delicious! Thank you, Cakery Bakery for your support of this local event (Where's Waldo Local) and of other small indie businesses.“

“Been going to this place for years and their cakes are delicious everytime. They try their best to be accommodating and they will do practically any design if you bring them materials to do so. All I did was ask them to place the flowers and decor I bought on the cake and they went above and beyond. My mom's birthday cake was absolutely stunning and everyone complimented it!“

“This place feels like I walked into a Paris bakery. The chefs are outstanding at their craft. Creating so many yummy candies and cakes as well as croissants with ham and cheese and so much more. It is a hidden gem in our la crescenta neighborhood and right by subway and electronics and beyond. Park right in front and go in and meet Armen and he will show you all the goodies.“

“i called in and was able to order a

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“My wife and I came here to use their printer. While we were there I bought a few of the conches pan dulce. I usually will put them in the microwave for about 15 seconds before I eat one. However. These were so fresh that I ate them right out of the bag. My only regret was not buying more“

“I love supporting small businesses. It is the spot when I crave for cheese cake or need pick it up for potlucks and parties. I love the Japanese Iced cheesecake . It's light, not too sweet Percy texture and so delicious. They have the original , matcha , strawberry and Oreo flavors. You can either one flavor or a set of all 4.

The taro snowflakes is a must try, creamy taro sponge cake made with real taro.

This shop is clean, cutesy and is family owned and I was helped by the owner's mom, she's super nice lady, the owner makes all the cakes.

They take cash, Venmo and Zelle as payment options.“

“Highly recommend Baskin Robbins for your next cake order. Cakes taste amazing! Spoke to Brian, goes above and beyond to make your experience the best
Everyone at my baby shower loved the cake, were looking for seconds. My daughters bday was also another hit with their cakes yum! All the kids loved the jack skellington design ??
I will definitely continue ordering cakes here in the future“

“The Wonder Bakery is an amazing place to visit. I heard good things about it in New York City Chinatown. The service is amazing and the food is amazing to. Sophia makes the best cappuccino and provides excellent service to everyone. A big shoutout to her. I am definitely coming back to the place! Ivana is another one who does outstanding in providing great service. Sophie you are so special to me. Awesome job and keep up the great work!“

“This shop is a few blocks from our house so we frequent it often while walking our dog. They have always been friendly and professional. I have only had great experiences there. My daughter seems to think they are stingy with the sprinkles but she is also seven years old.“

“Delicious and excellent price compare other bakey in the area.“

“Store is great clean and employees are very helpful and courteous..small location but vary quaint“

“This place was cleaner than expected, my friend got a cone yummy and i got a rainbow sherbet the sherbet was more on the sour side but rlly good. We will come back again. My friend thought the cone was exquisite and should be in a museum. Noooooo“

“Every holiday I venture in BR for a customized holiday ice cream cake and, each year, they are interesting and delicious. It's now a holiday tradition. The owner of this BR is cheerful and accommodating. And of course the ice cream is amazing. Thank you!“

“Honestly, I’ve driven past this place so many times and never noticed it until we stopped to shop at Super A next door. It’s a super unassuming, small bakery, but it’s clearly a local favorite because it was pretty busy when we walked in!

They specialize in sponge cakes, and the shelves are fully stocked with all different kinds. We tried a few things, but the standout was definitely the Grenade Cake. It’s got this great crispy top that gives it a nice texture which is definitely unique.

We also picked up an ube sponge cake. It was incredibly fluffy and light, and the flavor was spot on. They have a bunch of different flavors to choose from if ube isn't your thing.

The service was friendly and efficient, too. Definitely a solid little hidden gem in Temple City if you're looking for fresh, airy cakes that aren't overly sweet!“

“Great place to get ice cream. Always friendly and willing to help.Had an issue with a milkshake today, feel it had a much lower amount than normal. Normally it's to the brim, not sure why it was so low. Perhaps the ice cream was melted more than normal. No issue, both of the workers working the afternoon shift were attentive, understood my concerns and worked out a remedy for me. Very much appreciated! So be sure to stop by and get some ice cream from here!“

“One of the best customer services in the community A great little place to hang out for a bit with kiddos���“

“My grandbabies love there ice cream.Well be back next week“

“The ice cream was very good. I tried one of the most delicious white chocolate raspberry called "love poison 31" a must try. The waffle coffee was good as well. For next time I'll get double scoop with the free waffle coffee. The staff was super friendly.“
