5 Stars: A Magical Experience with Simple Delights.
I was looking for a cake for our Indian wedding, and honestly, it took me the longest time to find the right baker. So many places charged for consultations and didn’t even take the time to answer basic questions — it was frustrating!
After doing a lot of research, I found Jessica, and I’m so glad I did. She was incredibly kind and welcoming. She met with us at her store, sat down with us, and explained everything patiently and thoroughly — no hesitation at all. What truly impressed me was that she followed up the very next day and invited us for a cake tasting. She even offered to be there in person to guide us through the experience, which made us feel so supported and valued.
On our wedding day, we had our first look in the reception room — and the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was our beautiful cake. It was even more stunning than I had imagined!
Everyone at the wedding gave us amazing compliments on how gorgeous and delicious the cake was. It truly became one of the highlights of our day.
Jessica, thank you so much for your incredible work and care. You made our day even more special, and we’re so grateful to have found you!
Amazing customer service!!! They have everything you could possibly need!
Amazing local shop! We love all their desserts, especially the cheesecakes and the tiramisu. They have fun Asian flavors like ube, matcha etc. Great quality and not too sweet. I haven't tried any of their made-to-order cakes yet but they look beautiful and delicious.
The people are sweet, and the place is inviting. The food is, of course, excellent! I especially love love love their Butter Mochi Bars and their Ube Mochi Bars. They're just the right sweetness and moist, with just the right 'moch' in it. ;)
Their cakes are delicious too. Whenever I serve their tiramisu at home, friends always ask where I got it, and then have ordered for their events like dinner parties, birthday parties, and book club meetings.
I hope to try out their ice-cream cakes one of these days. I will take photos to post next time.
This place is fantastic!! Their tiramisu and cakes are also really yum. Really liked their asian inspired ube mochi bars too. Such a great vibe.
Such an adorable dessert place! Shared a banana split and the portion was gigantic. You’re allowed to choose your ice cream flavours for the banana split which was a nice surprise!
High-Quality Ice Cream Cake, Better Than Chains.
This review is for the 6-inch chocolate ice cream cake, purchased for a birthday party.
* Quality: Excellent. The cake was moist, and the ice cream was well-balanced. It's a clear step up in quality from large chains like Baskin-Robbins.
* Value: Good. At $60, it serves 6-8 people, making the price point competitive with chain stores but for a superior product.
* Logistics: The location is a little isolated. It is highly recommended to call in advance to check their inventory before you make the trip.
* Service: The staff were friendly and efficient.
A solid choice for anyone looking for a high-quality ice cream cake. The taste justifies the price and the minor inconvenience of the location. Just be sure to call first.
Great customer service and absolutely amazing ice cream cake!
I was trying to order a 4in custom ice cream cake a little less than a week before my boyfriend's birthday but the online ordering system said that the cake wouldn't be ready until a day after.
I called and Jessica was super helpful. She was able to accommodate my requested pick up time and confirmed my online order over the phone.
On the day of, the cake was ready early which worked out for my schedule and I was able to pick up the cake with no trouble.
And what a cake! Everything from the cake and ice cream to the frosting and toppings were absolutely delicious! We were so impressed and delighted that I'm sure we'll be ordering with Jessica again sometime in the future!

Excellent gelato! Lots of different kinds of cold treats and cakes, cookies, etc
We loved our wedding cakes from Simple Delights! We had two wedding events that were very different, so we ordered two cakes of different flavors and styles. Jessica is super talented - she ran with our visions and totally exceeded our expectations. The cakes were both so beautiful and tasted amazing. It was awesome working with Simple Delights, would highly recommend!
We have indulged in this delightful little shops sweet dishes several times and it has never disappointed. Usually it’s cupcakes for my children and they love the fluffy and sprinkled cream and moist and tasty base. Besides cupcakes, they also have larger cakes (some custom made), yummy parfaits, gelatos, frozen yogurts and unique flavors of ice cream.
There is a nice, clean and well lit sitting area to enjoy your sweets and lots of parking to conveniently park your car.
