We chatted a bit when she dropped them off. It felt good to support her artistry as well as local nonprofit organizations that she cares about and donates her proceeds to. I ordered vanilla cupcakes and left the colors and flower design up to Violet. Everyone at my birthday party LOVED them! The cake was moist and delicious. The colors were vivid and beautiful. I was SO happy! They were much better than a birthday cake. Thanks, Violet!!

Went to try those viral fruit shaped desserts, and they're actually pretty good. So good we went…read moreback a second time. They ARE pricy though so just be aware. So far Mango is the best flavor we tried. Banana was good but it is a little small. Strawberry was good. Passionfruit was too sour for us. Blueberry was good but not my mothers favorite. Raspberry was a little on the sour side as well. The man behind the counter was very friendly, if its your first time and you like sweets probably get the mango, banana, strawberry and blueberry. We didn't get the coconut because that also has passionfruit inside which was sour. Nor any of the more dense choco or PB flavor ones.

3/5: I tried the mango $12 and coffee $11. I think these are over-hyped. The infused ganache inside…read moreis missing flavor complexity, and the texture is too greasy; more like a pudding than a mousse or chocolate ganache. The crunchy coating has no value add for me; it seems more like a gimmick. I'd rather have no coating, but higher quality flavor. Be aware that on a hot day, you need to either eat it right away, or get it to your refrigerator super fast, before the coating melts.

Only issue is probably the parking. There's a lot but I grab whatever street parking I can to get in and out easily. Some of my favorites foods they offer all of the time: - chicken enchiladas (fresh or take home to cook) - fresh kale salad - sandwiches - deviled eggs And then save room for dessert--they have a super bakery. They made the best toll house chocolate chip cookies but now they've morphed that into a "brookie" (brownie and cookie hybrid) that is my new favorite.

I first tried cupcakes from Black China Bakery at a wedding I attended and was impressed by how…read moredelicious they were. So when my mom's wedding was coming up, I knew exactly where to get the cupcakes from. We ordered the vegan chocolate with raspberry frosting and vegan carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and they did not disappoint. Katelin was incredibly friendly and easy to work with. She provided options for how the cakes could be frosted to match our theme and colors, and helped to make the planning process so smooth. The cupcakes were delivered for a very reasonable rate and were a huge hit at the wedding. Everyone loved them! I highly recommend Black China Bakery for any special occasion.

A Berry Delight: Our Perfect Wedding Cake from Chefany! From…read moreour very first interaction it was incredibly collaborative, truly listening to our vision for a beautiful berry cake. The final cake was nothing short of stunning. Not only was it visually gorgeous, but every single bite was a burst of fresh, delicious berry flavor. We were super happy with it, and judging by the rave reviews from our guests, they were too! We're so grateful to for her incredible talent and for creating a wedding cake that was both a feast for the eyes and the palate. Thank you, Chefany

Her cake is somehow the perfect balance of delicious, sweet, flavorful AND magically light. I could eat so much of her cake and not feel that heavy sugar feeling. My guess is it's her natural ingredients, years of experience and extra touch of passion that make it so perfect. The cake she made for our wedding was absolute perfection. She nailed the "naked" cake look I wanted, was able to create a beautiful 3 tiered cake and even last minute shifted the middle layer to a GF carrot. The cake went quickly and we got so many comments from our guests saying how delicious it was. Would recommend her cake for any event and I personally hope to try every flavor! Thank you Chefany

I've been coming here for a long time and visit pretty frequently, so this experience was really…read moredisappointing. When my boyfriend and I walked in, one of the employees was having a conversation with what looked like friends. I didn't mind at first because there were two other employees standing at the front, so I assumed one of them would help us. Instead, we stood there for several minutes without anyone acknowledging us. I understand if the other employees weren't assigned to the register, but what bothered me was that no one even took a second to say, "We'll be with you shortly." A simple acknowledgment goes a long way and would have made a big difference. The lack of customer service and communication made us feel ignored so we just ended up leaving and went some place else. As someone who has supported this business for a long time, it was disappointing. I hope management addresses this because good customer service is just as important as the product itself.
