She did such a great job on my gender reveal cake! Thank you so much! And she made it the day of. Super impressive. It was very tasty.

The cake was good, but, definitely it is little expensive for what it is worth. Especially, the parking facility is poorly setup and congested.Also, it would be nice and professional if they have some sort of receipt for the order, so that it’s easy to track the delivery date, messages to be printed on cake etc.,Parking: Congested and narrow

I've tried the cherry cake, chocolate cake and the cream puff, they were all delicious.

Ordered a cake with strawberry cream filling for my daughter's birthday. It was amazingly light and delicious. I received many compliments and will definitely be ordering again from here. Thank you.

First time at this awesome Persian coffee shop/bakery. Very friendly and welcoming customer service. Incredible assortment of sweets. The girl there told me they were not overtly sweet which is exactly how I like patisserie. The eclairs were as good as people commented here on Yelp. My favorite item was the Persian Neapolitan so flaky and with pistachios. My boyfriend and I shared that one, so good. The cream puffs are equally amazing. Super satisfied and now just can't wait until I go one day to have coffee seating there with a friend. Such a pleasant and cute store.

Nice location. Lovely store. Friendly people. However, the pound of butter cookies I purchased were not good at all! I specifically asked if the cookies were made with butter. I was assuming they were. I couldn't tell for sure. There might have been a little butter in the recipe, but something less costly was substituted for it and the result was dry tasteless cookies. For $20/lb they should have been excellent. I couldn't eat any more after sampling 4-5 from the box I brought home. I should add that the cookies, as well as all the desserts, looked great. Maybe it's a cultural thing. I just don't know. As I said, the ladies running the small shop were friendly and pleasant. I'm sorry ladies. I very much wanted to like what I bought,

My first time using this bakery. Wow, I was very impressed. I needed a special carrot cake for my grand daughter's Sweet 16 party. I sent a picture of what she wanted. They knocked it out of the park. Not only was the staff soo nice but the cake was absolutely delicious. I also bought a Cream Puff Tower for my sons birthday the day before. He does not like cake soo I thought this would be a nice option. He loved it. They were really fresh & good. All the staff in the restaurant kept coming to get a cream puff. It was a big hit. I will be coming back in the future. You won a new happy customer!

Maryam and her team at Cakey Bakey did a great job with my birthday cake! I had a 5 layer mocha cream with pistachio/walnut/banana filling and it was perfect! Everyone at my birthday raves about it! Highly recommend. Best Persian pasteries and cakes outside of Iran!

The worst customer service, it seemed that it bothered the lady that I asked about the desserts. I request a box to put the slices I bought and she sold it to me for $5 and with a very bad attitude.Regardless of that the vanilla pecan dessert was delicious. If it weren't for her lousy attitude, it would become my favorite place.And yes she told me I was goint to be charge for the box and I don't care. All of this is about her horrible attitude.

We have been buying cream puffs and other cookies and desserts at Cakey Bakey for many years and it is always great, tasty and fresh. This week I bought a Napoleon cake and it was Amazing! I was looking for this particular type of Napoleon for years! Thank you so much Cakey Bakey chef for such delicious desserts!!!?

Okay, but I don't think I have ever had eclairs like this in my LIFE. I am so obsessed. The desserts were delicious. We went with friends and there wasn't anyone who did not like their food. I wish they had more coffee and tea options but dessert wise, everything is amazing. I can't wait to break my diet for another delicious treat. I'm glad I discovered this place. It says balboa bakery on top so it was a little hard to find. I didn't notice it until I found it on yelp. Parking is plenty. Service is amazing. It is a tiny shop so I would recommend smaller groups.

You should try nokhodchi,l and walnut ones (gerdooei).I wish they had better packaging.

I never met a dessert I didn't like...until today.We are adventurous eaters and love all sorts of food. We tried 7 different desserts: 2 different Turkish delights, 2 type of zolbia, baklava, tiramisu, and the almond cake. We didn't like a single item. Truly unheard of. The tiramisu was not even soaked, the cake layers tasted like straight wonder bread out of the bag.

We tried vanilla with strawberry flavour, it was amazing. The cake was soft moist and not too sweet.
