    Add strawberries to the top per Alex's recommendation and it was a delicious combination

    My husband asked for a birthday cheesecake so tried to find a local bakery that would have this. I stumbled across this business through yelp, and my experience was completely delightful. Alex was really easy to work with and the cheesecake we got was remarkably delicious. I would recommend it and come back here again!

    Boston Creme Pie
    Chris R.

    I'm disappointed with their concept of a Boston Creme Pie. This was just a chocolate cake with some vanilla pudding added to the bottom. It was fine if you view it as that, but don't call it a Boston Creme Pie. This one doesn't include the chocolate ganache but has icing for cake in both layers. A traditional Boston creme pie has no chocolate layer in the middle. .

    Delicious desserts! I just tried their dessert for very first time and I couldn't believe how come I didn't know about this place yet! I got Josh's triple stuffed funnel balls, Boston cream pie and Chocolate temptation. I was amazed! The temptation chocolate cake is unbelievable. Layered with multiple delicious flavors which makes perfect taste in your mouth. Every single layer was perfectly balanced. Boston cream pie cake was nice and fluffy, very yummy but I could use little bit more vanilla custard. Balanced and sweet perfectly. Josh's funnel balls were also very nice, warm and chocolate was melted and delicious. I really enjoyed their desserts and can't wait to try more.

    Oreo cheesecake
    Elaine L.

    Bella's How Sweet It Is offers desserts, based on my tasting of three, are on the lighter side, perfect if you prefer less sweetness. Optimal for takeout or enjoying with a meal at Antonio's Pizzeria. Overall, none of the desserts I ordered were super flavorful and could use some improvements. - Oreo Cheesecake: Among their top two (the other being the tiramisu), but the Oreo pie crust and cookie on top was disappointingly soggy. - Summerberry Stack: Light and not overly sweet. - Lemon Blueberry Crumb Cheesecake: Similarly lighter, but the crumble was soggy. I felt their desserts were pricey at about $8-9 per slice, especially considering the smaller sized cuts of the summerberry stack and lemon blueberry crumb cheesecake. That said, a boba can be the same price and baking requires a lot more work and skill, so that's worth something. I'm not sure about the freshness either as all of the desserts were taken from a fridge in the back and as mentioned prior, crusts and crumbles were soggy. Would be great to know when they were baked. Something to note is they are housed inside Antonio's Pizzeria, with no distinct shop signage. No seating available for desserts; limited to takeout or enjoying with a meal, so not really great for casual dessert dates.

    Came here to have some dessert. It took some time to find it because I didn't realize they are located inside of Antonio's Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen. We ordered the carrot cake, sweet potato maple cheesecake, and the peanut butter explosion. I forgot to take photos but everything was extremely fresh and although not my favorite dessert spot, their desserts are delicious and slices are quite large. They don't have a standard store front. You order the desserts from the hostess at the restaurant. I assume you can eat there but we had to take it to go because the restaurant was packed.

    Amount of whip cream for the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake

    I've ordered many times through postmates. Each order keeps getting worse and worse. The vanilla bean cheesecake is my FAVORITE. However, the last 2x I've ordered it has been garbage. I ordered today through postmates and left a note requesting whip cream. I ordered 3 slices of the vanilla bean cheesecake. I've attached a photo of the amount of whip cream they sent complete JOKE. paid over $45 and I received a messy cheesecake and would consider no whip cream, even though I specifically requested whip. Lol will definitely never order from them again. Not worth the money I spent.

    Campfire S'mores Lava Cake  Instructions
    Bianka G.

    So so so good. Needed some dessert to go with some leftover wine ;) The wait time was quick, good price point, and the portions just right. The s'mores lava cake came with heat up instructions (very considerate) and mannnnn was this so good with the warm lava chocolate pouring out, the warm sticky marshmallow top, and warm moist cake. So good. I love s'mores so this is a great interpretation. The Oreo cheesecake was bomb. Not too sweet and I want to say the Oreo tasted homemade. Not sure but that Oreo was also really good. It sure was sweet to get sweets by you!

    2 Tres Leches, Ricitta & Piastachio, Lemoncello, Torta Della Nonna, Lemon Italian Cream, Flan

    How Sweet It Is bakery has a delicious and huge variety of bakery items, including cakes, pies, cookies, coffee drinks, unique energy drinks and other things. We discovered this treasure looking for "bakery." We would suggest searching directly for the store name How Sweet It Is instead if just bakery. They have pictures of all their items, and we suggest that you call them before ordering to make sure they have the items you want. They are very very nice and will tell you if they have what you want. One of the greatest things is they are open late: the bakery is inside a pizzeria! We ordered Ricotta & Pistachio, 2 Tres Leches, Lemoncello, Torta Della Nonna, Lemon Italian Cream and Flan. We will definitely be ordering again for Xmas treats!

    Peanut Butter Dream
    Jennifer A.

    I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the desserts were and now that I know, I'm in treacherous territory! To break down what we ordered Windmill - chocolate meringue, chocolate fudge and whipped cream. This was so luscious and creamy. The meringue added a crunch around the edges giving it a nice texture. This was my favorite and it's gluten free! Chocolate Mousse - light and airy. The cookie crust was still crunchy and added texture and balance to the mousse Peanut Butter Dream - perfect for all peanut butter lovers! The cake/brownie was rich and dense and combined with the creaminess of the peanut butter mousse, was a great combo Torta Della Nonna - great dessert to have with tea. Even for breakfast. The lemon and shortbread crust made it feel light and the pastry cream added a nice richness Bella's How Sweet It Is is located inside Antonia's Pizzeria. They are on Ventura so parking is a little difficult, but once you find it everything is very easy. Pick up was fast and smooth and online ordering was simple. Prices are also reasonable. Many of the desserts were items you'd see on a restaurant menu where they charge anywhere from $9-$15 and average price for Bella's was $6.50. I will definitely be ordering more desserts from Bella's and I'm so happy I found them on Yelp!

    We were a bit confused upon arrival. We didn't realize this was located inside the restaurant Antonio's Pizzeria. It was such a chill vibe inside, we will definitely be back for a full dinner. The server was helpful. He took our order fast and it came out in a timely manner. We ordered a chocolate chip cookie and a s'mores lava cake. I absolutely loved the cake in the s'mores, it was so fluffy and fresh. Also, the chocolate chip cookie was one of the best cookies I have ever had in my life. That says a lot. We will for sure return for a nice vibe and some sweet treats.

    Cheesecake

    I had a hankering for a sweet last night. The pieces of cheesecake in the photos here look large and decadent. What appeared was a sliver that looked like half a piece for $7.50. When I called, the person who answered said I could send a picture and he would get back to me which he never did. The cheesecake was OK in terms of taste, but for the price there are other places that are much better with appropriate size servings.

    Coconut Whiteout Cake
    Arlene M.

    I ordered via Uber Eats the Giant triple chocolate chip cookie, Boston cream pie, Tres Leches, S'Mores Bar, and Coconut Whiteout Cake that I'm tasting now. Coconut Whiteout Cake is delicious. The rest taking to a family gathering. If your a size person the slices are smaller than La Monarca Bakery. Go by the presentation and heavenly taste. So worth it. Thank you.

They also do really well with their citrus combos like the cruffin, exotic or the mango eclair. I wish there was more custard in their fruit danish and sometimes the croissants aren't as soft, possibly a little overcooked. But the pastry on the cruffin was one of the softest and most delicate I've ever had. The macarons are also great especially the yuzu, passionate, hazelnut and raspberry flavours.

Luckily because it was a Sunday, we found parking right in from r of the store. From the outside and inside it truly has the Parisian patisserie vibe and feeling, which I love! Once we got inside, we were mesmerized by all the beautiful and delicious looking pastries and dessert options. I also love that they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. We decided to sit inside, one because it was way too hot, and secondly there was this aggressive homeless man who threw a chair towards the glass window of the patisserie. That was scary! The girls working there were aware of this, because apparently he's done this a few times, where he's thrown their outdoor furniture around, so they called 911 immediately, so hopefully that won't be an issue for them in the future! Luckily no one was harmed and no glass was broken, and the psychotic man was far gone. My friend and I decided to get two different desserts. I got the pavlova, and which is one of my favorites. I love the creamy and crunch meringue and the combination of the tart berry filling inside. My friend loves peanuts, so she got the dessert that looked like a peanut, which she loved! The two girls working there were really sweet and offered us a free croissant as a compensation for the momentary chaos caused by the aggressive homeless man, which my friend and I truly appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience here, and I'd definitely come back to try some of their other desserts!

Filled with custard, nutella, and I believe other flavors too. They have Lahmajune, (Armenian pizza), Perashki, (a long dough filled with Spinach, Potato, Mushrooms, Cheese). They also sell other types of pastries, beverages, candy, cake, chocolates, boreks, with different fillings. My favorite is the Cheese borek. Rolls too. With different fillings.. and so much more.. All I needed and was craving for was 4 of their fresh, delicious Ponchiks. They were nice enough to give me an extra one--free of charge. The smell of those Ponchiks transported me back to Armenia.

While I was doing my friend the favor of picking up said birthday cakes, I noticed the pineapple coconut was back in season, so I came to SusieCakes the next day to get a slice. Very friendly staff! But very dry cake. So disappointing after paying ten dollars for a slice. Overall, the vibes are always good. The flavors are great. But the texture is just not it.
