Someone just brought me some apple pie from this spot and...mind you, I'm not very picky when it comes to sweets, but it was revolting. I don't know what they consider "apple pie" but this was definitely not apple pie. There were no apples. It didn't even taste like apple pie filling from can. Apple pie should be sweet, and have flavors of tart apples, butter, brown sugar, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. There should also be visible apple pieces with a pleasant toothy texture throughout the pie. None of that criteria was met. There were no spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, and the filling just tasted like some bland, slightly mystery fruit flavored, gray jelly. Konjac jelly? The texture was awful. It literally turned my stomach. This place was recommended to my fiance by a fellow chef and foodie so i had high hopes. I thought it would at least be good. My fiance tells me he'd never been there before and when asked by our foodie friend what he wanted, he asked for apple pie because apple pie is safe and "hard to mess up". Our friend admits that he'd never tried the apple pie from here so he had no idea. Apple pie is indeed very difficult to mess up i would say. I would have been happy if it was even ok or passable. It was neither. It was absolutely disgusting. The flavor, texture, and appearance were just so bad My stomach was actually turned from this experience and I actually need time to recover as i write this. I'm not going to give it one star because i haven't tried their other sweets and they might have had a bad day or just really don't know how to make apple pie, but i can not rate this bakery highly as this is my first impression and it was mortifying.
Mommie Helen bakes cookies and cakes. This is the specialty of Mommie Helen's. They make great tasting cakes, and I'm dying to taste their peach cobbler. These cakes don't come cheap but are well worth it.
Parking: There are a few other businesses so finding parking in front might be difficult but there is a lot of parking.
Kid-friendliness: This is not a dine in place it's only an order in bakery. You can purchase pieces of cakes and cobblers which are already made.

The Lemon Church Cake is heavenly, and the Chocolate Cake is waiting for me to try after I eat my dinner. ? I’m sure it’s going to be delicious! My first time here, and a gentleman who has been a patron for years told me everything here is delicious! I believe him. ? I’ll be back. ?

We tried the peach cobbler the strawberry cheesecake and a chocolate caramel cheesecake. All were really good. Cheesecake was a little expensive or just a slice but definitely very tasty
YUMMO!!! Mama Helen's NEVER disappoints!!On this visit I ordered the sugar-free Peach Cobbler, a slice of sweet potato pie, and banana pudding.My Sister always adds the banana pudding to whatever she orders and eats it right there in the parking lot. Lol.The sweet potato pie was so freaking good. We shared that slice. They also have a sweet potato pecan pie. I will try that next.Even their cookies are on point!!Now let's get into this SF Peach Cobbler y'all! Huunnty!!! You won't even miss the sugar. You can't tell it's not there! So delicious! I highly recommend you try it. I'm so happy, cause I love me some Peach Cobbler and I'm diabetic, so this was perfect.This was not my first trip and won't be my last! You have got to go for yourself.Take an Instagrammable photo in front of the photo spot, by all the celeb photos.Thank you Mama Helen!!And thank you to Mama Helen's family who are keeping her good baking alive!!
Parking: It's in a strip mall so plenty of parking.
I kept hearing about this place for a few months, so I decided to try it ... my intend was to try their sweet potato pie which has been highly recommended, and unfortunately they had runout of it, while I was waiting on line trying to make a decision, someone ordered this cheesecake which was not in the menu that day, he highly recommended it too and so glad I decided to ordered it, definitely the best cheesecake everything was fresh, crisp and delicious about it. The Roseberry coblet was great too... definitely one of those hidden gem places and there's much more to try. Staff was amazing as well.

I saw in the reviews they have vegan options but I just went in and was told they don’t. Pretty bummed. The cakes look good though.

I love their desserts. Though they're sweet for me, I get their sugar free. It's delicious too! I highly recommend it.
