    The cake that was "ready" without the flowers
    Maddie M.

    My sister was having a baby shower a couple months ago she decided to order a cake here we got a two tiered cake with a strawberry filling with a edible frosting with the design of her choice. The two tier cake was $300 which seemed like a lot for a cake at a cupcake place but I guess that's just the price for it. We wanted fake flowers put on the cake so a couple days before the baby shower. The flowers were dropped off. I was told that the cake would be ready at 11 on the day of the baby shower got to the location at 11:30 and they handed me a plain cake with no flowers. Try not to panic I asked them where the flowers were. They seemed confused and told me they didn't have any a few seconds later the manager came out and apologized and then 20 minutes later they brought me the cake with the flowers. My issue with this is I spent $300 on a cake that wasn't even ready even when a little bit later than the arrival time hoping that it would be ready !! The cake tasted OK it was more honestly probably will never get a cake from here again. They need to work on their communication skills with their staff to let them know that when things are getting dropped off for the cakes that everything is in order. They seem very unorganized. The girls were very nice and I know they did their best but my complaint has to be to the fact that there were no flowers on the cake and the cake was not ready. When it was supposed to be and months before the baby shower we had a consultation speaking about everything about the cake and it was written that we wanted to fake flowers on the cake. So the fact that none of those were reviewed prior to picking up the cake seems weird. Seems like a waste of time if you're not gonna use the notes. I love getting cupcakes from here but the cakes are overrated and over pricedProbably just gonna stick to the cupcakes!

    Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous and delicious! From the tasting onward, the gals at A Sweet Design were so professional, communicative, and accommodating. Cake was delivered on time with no issues. We got coconut and pink velvet (a crowd favorite!) and both flavors were fantastic. Will definitely return the next time I need a cake!

    Custom cake (for a King of the Hill and potato chip fan) was a major hit. Thanks to the Sweet Design staff for making our vision a reality!

    A sweet design did such a great job on my sons cake for his Disneyland themed first birthday! The cake was beautiful and delicious! She also made us a cute smash cake. I will definitely continue getting his birthday cakes here. The consultation was also great from the beginning. Allison is so sweet and gives great ideas.

    I recently ordered a custom cake from here and it came out perfectly. They were very attentive to details and helpful with the whole decision making process. The price was fair for such an amazing product. Will definitely go here for all my custom cake needs.

    The cake was exactly what my daughter asked for. It was perfect and tasted great. Friendliest service as well. I have ordered twice and both times have been easy and exactly what I needed. Prices are great as well. Thank you so much to this business for making my daughters day :)

    Thank you to A Sweet Design for the most delicious and amazing cake for our event! They made it exactly how we asked for and it was so good! We loved the cake tasting and how you really worked with us to see our vision! We've gone here before for treats, but had never purchased a cake for a special occasion. They did a wonderful job and we will definitely be recommending them in the future.

    Love this place!! I had my baby shower sweet treats from here (cupcakes, apple cheesecake bars, macarons, cookies, etc.) and got so many compliments on how cute and tasty everything was.. The new owners are very sweet and I love that this place has been a staple in the community for so many years. Highly recommend for any occasion.

    Beautiful and delicious!

    Almost one year ago, my hubby and I tied the knot. This bakery was recommended by our venue and I am so glad we listened to their recommendation! I can't believe I am just now getting around to posting this. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was extremely delicious!!!! We had several flavors but think the Oreo section might have been our favorite. Yummy! In addition to this bakery turning out beautifully delicious creations, it's run by a boss mama who deserves a lot of credit for doing it all! Definitely recommend this bakery especially for those special occasion cakes!

    Thank you so much for the beautiful and delicious cake, cupcakes, cake pops and macarons yesterday! Everybody loved it! Amazing service! On-time delivery! Will definitely be back!

    We were checking out the new Gelato Mio next door and noticed Napoleon Bakery after parking. The…read moreinterior was so attractive that we were enticed to go inside an check out their wares. Although it was close to closing time, the young man who was minding the shop was very friendly and gracious in answering our questions. They have a beautiful selection of cake slices, pastries, and even coffee drinks available. They do custom whole cakes for birthdays and other occasions. With the name of Napoleon, I thought it was a French bakery. It turns out that they specialize in a number of European confections, including options from Eastern Europe. Without a lot of time before they were done for the day, Dear Hubby and I each chose a cake slice, and we got a cake pop for our Sweet Granddaughter. She got to pick the color icing she preferred, which was nice. The pricing seems fair, especially given the loving care that's gone into baking and decorating each baked treat. We will definitely be visiting again. They are within 5 to 10 minutes of where our kids live, so there you go - a new "secret" place discovered!

    We saw this place next door after having lunch/dinner at Boiling Pot next door on Sunday. The…read moreplace looked popular with tables filled on the patio and the pastries on display through the window looked intriguing so decided to take a chance and maybe get a small coffee and some pastries to try. There was a young man at the counter who welcomed us with a wonderful smile. He said his name is Said (pronounced Sa-eed) and asked if it was our first time here. We said it was, so he offered to give us some samples of their most popular bake goods. He said it is made of light custard and it's called soft cake and it is traditional pastry from his country in Uzbekistan that his mother bakes all from scratch. In Asia we also don't like overly sweet cakes so we thought it sounded to fit our taste preferences. And we loved it after trying! My mom said it tastes very similar to the cake she had back in Seoul in her childhood she misses fondly, but she could never have that same taste. Just a little sweeter. But the custard and texture of the cake is just the same. We also got the eclair. And it was pretty good too. But definitely recommend the soft cake!! Sooo yummyyy!! I also got the strawberry cold foam matcha latte and my mom got a small americano coffee. She said it's the best coffee she had in a cafe. Of course superb compared to Starbucks or any other coffee franchise. She says American coffee shops always burn their beans so it tastes burnt, but this place roasted the beans just right. And we also loved the strawberry cold foam matcha. I don't know how, but it tasted like really strawberry was in the drink!! My mom said it's the best strawberry milk she ever had here and in Korea! And she wants to order again when we come by next time. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Food and drinks were all prepared with such care, but given at a reasonable time. Some of these cafes take forever to make your drinks, even Starbucks makes you wait 20 minutes! These other coffee shops make it seem like they're doing some complex chemistry experiment how long it takes for just a drink! But this young guy he makes the drink in under 5 min and it tastes 10x better anything those other coffee shops make, but in less than half the time! I really thought maybe it was really hard making drinks, but this young dude makes it look like a walk in the park, the speed and ease he cranks out the drinks. I think Uzbekistan people must be just built different! and he was also so kind and pleasant taking the time to explain and answer all our questions. Some of these other places wouldn't even bother or make it feel like you're pulling a nail from them the way they grimace. He was so nice we wanted to give a tip, but he even said he didn't want us to. He'd happily accept just our enjoying the food and drinks and would appreciate if we left a review for his cafe. just had to leave a review. Especially after how nice he is. And hearing his story and how it's a family run bakery with the mom baking and son making drinks and running front counter. And an authentic European bakery!! Wow! Aren't we so glad they moved into our neighborhood! A Real quality cafe I didn't even know what I was missing until I stepped into this little shop by mere chance! I Will definitely come by again. And anyone else who discovers this little gem would be so lucky and blessed as us!

The texture is always right and they're generously filled. It's one of their popular items, but they have a lot of other good stuff on their menu too! Their perashkis are good if you're looking for something savory (I wish there was an "assorted" box for this too for when I can't pick a single flavor). Also recommend their Bread broat - Adjarakan and Georgian Khachapuri. And then there's the cake section. Don't get me started on this. I'm admittedly biased when it comes to honey cakes but their assorted sheet cakes are SO GOOOOOOD!!! Just the right sweetness and texture, and good portion sizing (bless them for this because I'd eat the whole sheet otherwise).

Today my husband, who is very picky, decided to try their lahmajun for the first time. He loved it! It was crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. That was another win for Papillon. Definitely worth trying a variety of their recipes--you really can't go wrong here.

You can either order with the staff or order through the kiosk on the right side. You have an option to type on the text box if you need to change the milk to oat milk, for example. I always ask for just in case they do have oat milk so if you have any special requests, depending on how busy it is, might be better to talk to someone to order!!!

One thing to note: they open late--12:30 PM. Parking was easy, and there's a decent amount of seating inside. I happened to be the first customer of the day. Don't expect the warm, smiley Filipino hospitality right away--just head straight to the counter and place your order on the iPad. As for the halo-halo, it's definitely not your traditional version. It wasn't bad by any means, but it's quite different from the halo-halo I grew up with and the ones I enjoy whenever I visit Manila. If you're looking for a modern take on the classic dessert, you may appreciate it more than I did. Prices are pretty standard for Los Angeles, and they accept Apple Pay, which is always a plus.

    This review is long overdue…read more I've been a House Roots regular since they opened their SFV shop many years ago and frequent the bakery as well. This location is the newest (only about a year or so?) of the three. Each store has a similar and yet distinct style/focus. This shop is located on the ground level of an apartment/leasing space, so if you're not looking for it, it can be missed/mistaken. Parking at first glance also seems difficult but don't worry, there's plenty in the parking garage behind the shop/ below the apartment building. The shop itself is beautiful! Compared to the other two locations, this location is most spacious; There's outdoor seating as well and indoor seating. It's pretty family friendly and equally accommodating to students/working professionals who need a place to do some work. There's a grab and go section, for those who need a quick bite as well as some food items- pastries and burritos. Overall, the environment is pretty relaxed and chill. As far as drinks go, I've tried several- everything from the drip, pour overs, espresso shots, americanos, sweet lattes, and pictured, both matcha and einspanner dreams from the last time I came with my husband and parents. Pricing is fair but most importantly, all their drinks are good! The espresso is good consistently which in turn makes all their coffee drinks delicious. All the speciality drinks are not overly sweet and well balanced, unless requested. Specifically from the last visit, the vanilla cream on top of the einspanner/matcha dreams were to die for. My husband, who isn't a coffee drinker also mentioned how good the matcha was, even with almond milk (he's lactose). If you want to venture out/explore something out of the usual drip or americano, I recommend the einspanner or matcha dream drinks! Besides the good coffee, all the Houseroots locations are set apart by their hospitality, and this shop is unparalleled. Every time I've come to grab a cup on my way to visit my parents or for an afternoon pick me up, all the baristas have been welcoming and warm. Northridge is always a treat, can't wait to come back when in the area!
