They got the order wrong for a birthday cake. Disappointed.

I have been here twice. About 4 years ago I had googled “gluten free bakery” and they came up. I ordered a large sheet cake - with gluten, lol - and a personalized layer cake, gluten free, for whom we were having a retirement party. I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this place is. The staff was so helpful, I’d never ordered GF before (and only once since) and they helped me choose a flavor, helped me with icing choices, everything I needed. When I picked up the cakes I was astonished at how beautiful they were. Not that I was expecting anything bad, but they truly were beautiful. The flavors of each cake were delicious and the attendees raved. I ordered enough for our guests and, unlike a lot of retailers, we had PLENTY for everyone. No scrimping needed! When it came time for me to order another cake (funny enough another retirement party!) and they wanted a GF option I knew exactly where to go. Again, amazing staff, beautiful product. All of this, I expected, to be pretty pricey. I mean you get to choose your cake, the icings, combination of flavors (icing and any kind of filling for layers), decorating, and message if wanted. But when I saw the invoice I was taken aback! By how reasonable the cost was!! The pricing is in line with what I’d expect for any random bakery, but what you get for that price is, to be kind of silly, priceless. Thank you for making the 2 events for which I needed cakes successful. I made sure to tell everyone who made any comment on the cakes where they came from and will ALWAYS recommend this store!!

Lemon cake was absolutely DIVINE!!!! Oh my delish!!! Our son attends the University of Utah and he is vegan. Today is his birthday so we thought we would try a cake. The only problem is now I need to hike, jog or run off the calories from over eating it!!! Will definitely be back!! The manager and staff were awesome.

I ordered two cakes for a wedding - both a gluten free and regular (vegan). I would never have known, they were the most incredible cakes I’ve eaten. People at the wedding were eating these cakes and skipping the regular cakes!

It was a true gem of a spot! Cookies galore! I'm delighted to have found such a cute spot with a take and go fridge that included items like Mac & cheese and chkn salad (everything is vegan) for a quick lunch. There is also a shaded outdoor seating area on the right of the establishment. There are so many wonderful options available for baked goods it was a little overwhelming to chose. Always a great problem to have!
I ended up getting a chocolate chip cookie, a peanut butter cookie, and a pecan sandie (the classics!). The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was friendly and engaged, the display case was everything. The cakes are beautiful. These cookies were the perfect thank you gift for a friend. They even packaged the cookies in a box as I was flying back home with them later that day! They arrived safely to their destination.?

We are not vegan yet we ordered our wedding cake through citycakes and it was a hit. So many people told us it was the best wedding cake they ever had. These guys were easy to work with and the cake was STUNNING. They brought the cake to our wedding location and assembled it right there. Could not have been easier or more delicious. Thank you City Cakes!!

I came by for the first time to try some Gluten-Free treats. The service was great and they had a variety of options. I got some type of coconut muffin and a slice of cheesecake. The cheesecake was not my favorite but the muffin, I loved! I will definitely be back.

One of the best gluten free bakeries around. This location makes only GF though they sell some gluten containing products

Not the best bakery that I’ve tried. Wrap was mostly just potatoes for $10. Cupcake was ok, nothing I’d like to get again.

I tried five cupcake flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Red Velvet, Carrot, and Marble. Unfortunately, all of them were shockingly dry and dense, with icing that was far too sweet. I can’t fathom how this place gets such high ratings—I feel completely misled by the glowing reviews. While Utah is known for its sweet desserts, Salt Lake City seems to be home to some of the worst. I really wish I could recommend a good bakery around here, but this experience was a major letdown.

I was hosting a birthday party and one person needed gluten-free desserts so after work I went by City cakes and got four cupcakes and was in and out within 5 minutes with some tasty cupcakes!

I'm very disappointed in my purchase at City Cake's. I ordered the raspberry oat bar. It was dry, hardly any raspberry filling, and did not taste fresh. It was also expensive $5.50. I understand prices have to be raised because of inflation, however I was expecting a quality desert.

The vegan cookies are by far a 5/5. The sugar cookie is my favorite.
