I stopped in to Catalina's Bake Shop over the weekend to pick up a cake for my best friend's…read morebirthday. It was a cute space with many wonderful baked goods, drinks, and even empanadas. I wanted a funfetti cake and the one they had readily available had lovely sunflowers on it. The woman working was so sweet and put some writing on the cake for me. The 6" cake was about $50 dollars which seemed a bit high, but I think its pretty standard for a bakery. The cake itself was very moist and absolutely delicious and I would give it an A+. The cake I purchased for her birthday from another local bakery last year was really dry, so I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. The buttercream frosting was where I felt the cake fell a bit short. It tasted like pure unsalted butter and had almost no sweetness to it, so we ended up just eating the cake center and leaving the frosting. Unfortunate for an expensive cake but based on the other reviews I'm wondering if it was just a one time error. I don't think I would get another cake from there, but the rest of the baked goods and empanadas looked awesome so I will definitely be bake to try those!

I guess the ignorant bastard was unable to deal with our age gap because he's obviously the relationship therapist. He had to interrupt the nice young man that was helping us to share his views.

Alpine Pastry Shoppe has been a staple in my family for years--every holiday you can imagine and…read moreeven for those random "just because" moments. A coworker recently asked me to bring back some cookies since she knew I was flying home to New York. When she said she wanted good quality cookies, I already knew exactly where I was headed: Alpine. Every time I walk into this place it somehow feels like the first time. Maybe it's the nostalgia from going there with my family for so many years, or maybe it's because it's still family-owned and truly has that warm, welcoming vibe. The people who work there are always so sweet, accommodating, and kind, which just adds to the experience. When anyone brings up rainbow cookies, Alpine is honestly the first place that comes to mind for me. They're the only ones I really go to for them. For my coworker, I picked up a pound of assorted cookies so she could try a little bit of everything. Selfishly, I was definitely thinking I should've ordered a box for myself too! She absolutely loved them, which came as no surprise. If you want truly great Italian cookies and pastries, Alpine Pastry Shoppe is the only place that comes to mind for me. I'm so happy to see that they're still open, and I truly hope they remain a neighborhood staple for many years to come.

Absolutely adore everything about Cakes by Lilly!…read more Lilly has taken my special occasions and expressed them in cake. What's not to love? Cake art can be ridiculously expensive but Lilly manages to keep her prices low without compromising detail. Every cake she has made for me has been a conversation piece.

De-li-cious! My favorite was the peach brandy cake with raspberry mousse Best of all, Lilly is an absolute sweetheart. She's always taken the time to listen to my theme, come up with creative suggests, and call me back if she needs clarification or to consult artistic direction.

It was an incredibly expensive cake at $295 for an 8" round cake, but we thought it would be worth it, given how intricate the decorations are. Unfortunately, things did not turn out as planned. The owner Rocio was quite unprofessional from the start, and told us the only time we could pick up the cake was between 10am and 10:30am the day before, and that if we missed the window because of traffic we wouldn't get our cake even though we had pre paid for it. We showed up an hour early to be sure. Once we received the cake we realized that they had spelled my daughter's name incorrectly, even though I had carefully sent CC her all the details. We had to search at the last minute to find someone who could correct the mistake as they refused to help. Then when we took the cake out of the box, we discovered that it was lopsided and that it hadn't been made properly. When I told the owner and sent her pictures she accused us of incorrect transportation and storage, even though we had painstakingly done everything right. The owner was rude, unresponsive, and unapologetic. She offered me a rebate of $30 for the misspelled name and refused to take responsibility for the lopsided cake. I could forgive the mistakes but to charge so much and then to not take responsibility and blame the customer feels dishonorable. Please don't order a cake from here there are many better places.-
