Our family has been getting cakes here for over 20 years, and every celebration wouldn’t be the same without them. Our go-to is always the chocolate mousse—it’s absolutely delicious! I even worked here back in high school, and I can say firsthand that the kitchen and back area are spotless. The team is incredibly talented, attentive, and dedicated to their craft. I couldn’t recommend this place more—it’s truly the best!

They have the best coffee, latte, and staff! I particularly love their GM! Hats off to Matt and his staff.

Hands down the best cakes around! Delicious, beautiful, and (contrary to many reviews) very competitively priced.
I first purchased a special order cake from them a few months ago for a baby shower I was hosting. I did their lemon cake in a vintage piping style. It was stunning, and everyone at the party asked where the cake was from.
Just last month, I purchased a 16th birthday cake for my young cousin. It was very last minute notice, yet they still were able to accommodate me. The cake was beautiful, and yet again tasted amazing.
I’ve also purchased some of their ready-to-go cakes. The shadow cake is particularly great!
For context, before having kids I loved to bake and baked birthday cakes for myself, family, and friends. While I no longer have the time required to bake, I am VERY picky when it comes to purchasing baked goods, because if I am spending money on something it needs to be as good or better than what I would make myself as an amateur. I’ve tried so many bakeries from Greenwich to Westport and everything in between, and the quality of ingredients and final result of the other places I tried couldn’t come close to Black Forest.
Finally, I’m very confused by the complaints about their pricing, because their pricing is VERY competitive. Their ready-to-go cakes are not much more than grocery store cakes despite being much higher quality, and their custom cakes are so inexpensive that I asked if they had given me the wrong number when I first ordered a cake from them. The special order cakes I have bought from Black Forest would have all cost at least 3x more at other bakeries.
100% recommend if you want beautiful and quality cakes.
Note: my child messed up the frosting on the side of one of the pictured cakes trying to swipe a bite!

Great bakery, they made 96 custom cupcakes for my daughters birthday. Reasonably priced but more importantly, great quality. Terrific customer service, easy pick up. This is a great example for you to shop small business and experience greatness.
The best place to get delicious pastries, cookies and cakes in Greenwich, I promised you.

Love this place. The staff are fantastic and always incredibly friendly and helpful even when dealing with a ton of customers, and the pastries are incredible. I highly recommend picking up the strudel, though it's easy to eat the whole thing in one sitting.
Visit and you will not be disappointed. Dan and crew will delight your taste buds.

Amazing establishment! High quality foods and pristine atmosphere.I extend my gratitude to the owner, who took the time to speak to my girlfriend's grandmother in German! It was a memorable visit and we will be back.

Everything seems to be homemade and handcrafted.You can taste real butter in the cookies and tarts.Haven't purchased a cake or tart yet, but they are works of art!If you're ever visiting and want to bring something special any one of their cakes would be a hit.
