This review is only for their pre-ordered cakes. I was desperate. I went cake tasting at a few places and was REALLY disappointed. I'm not a fan of dry, heavy, rich cakes. I don't feel like spending almost a grand on them either. I don't like fondant...I don't care how kick @ss the cakes will look with them. What did that leave me with? Korean bakeries! My husband and I had a few slices of cake from here before. We were tired of wedding planning so we literally walked in, told them we wanted to buy a wedding cake, and bought it without doing a tasting. The lady was very helpful and nice. I told her our guest count was roughly 120. She said that I can get a smaller cake, one that supposedly feeds 100 instead of 150. Cool, no problem. She also said to pick out the style and shape I wanted. I chose round since square was pricier with very few embellishments on it. We told her the date and time to be there by and left. Honestly, I was scared. It seemed too easy and not a whole lot of info was exchanged. But when I laid eyes on the beauty, I was so happy with our purchase and it tasted absolutely like heaven. I can't exactly recall the price, but it was VERY cheap compared to other bakeries we looked at. So not helpful...sorry. :/ read more

Cake House - Gorgeous, wasn't it? They didn't put the flowers on there, my florist did. - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

People. This ain't no charming cafe where you can look cute for insta and take photos of your cappuccino eating fingahz. This spot is located inside the Galleria grocery store, and the one reason to go is to get their chestnut bread. Chestnut bread = milk bread with chestnuts inside = shokupan with chestnuts inside. Bring it home, toast that with a pad of butter on the stovetop and it will be one of the most delicious things you've eaten. Oh, and their 'corn bread' is also amazing, mostly because I think it is made partly with sweet rice flour. read more

Cake House is located at the Galleria in Koreatown. It's a small store outside of the supermarket on the ground floor. The pastries here are pretty good. And there is a variety of things you can get. I like going here, and have not been disappointed by anything I've bought. So, feel free to be adventurous and try anything. It's not too busy, and there's rarely a long wait to pay. I haven't tried the cakes here.. but I've tried their sandwiches. Those were decent. Parking: There is a garage structure you could park in. Free. read more

I ordered cupcakes for my birthday and they were amazing! Came out exactly as I wanted it, and tasted even better. I've been getting treats from Cake House for years and I think the breads are wonderful, the pastries are delicious and the french macarons are the best. read more

The only items I've tried here are small Korean pastries. The best things come in small packages! - White bean paste walnut cracker (http://s3-media4.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/2_FIz829RT0FuHIGrbmofg/l.jpg), 3 for $1. Soft chewy outside. Although the filling looks like red bean paste, no? (http://s3-media2.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Dg-k7AZr7b0nPHeZFO9vsA/l.jpg) - Tiny taiyaki with custard creme (http://s3-media3.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/pShOMC9EoeT-lBcq0C1vVw/l.jpg), 3 for $1. Really chewy outside. It actually was an unlabeled bakery item, so I was pleasantly surprised by the sweet custard filling hahaha (http://s3-media1.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/QWraH_0VYihnZt6S6mLUVw/l.jpg). - Sesame ball (http://s3-media4.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/T5NhYDAOajXCNb5-BytQvQ/l.jpg), $1.25. Mistook it for the green tea flavor, but it was delicious anyway (http://s3-media1.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/mBrQtcCsIY85VV6xXcwbGQ/l.jpg). Enjoyed the chewiness of the inside dough, which was minimal in sugar, and the sesame undertone of the flakier exterior. If I were to describe the flavor, it would be "starch." Oh, and they have these Korean donuts that sell pretty quickly. We watched one lady buy an entire box of them, oh snap. read more

Despite the array of yummy goodness, I only get two of my favorite things. Green tea and black sesame bread are sort of chewy yet airy and not too sweet. I love eating it with peanut butter and raisins as breakfast. Green Tea Chiffon Cake, this cake will make non-sweet tooth people into a monster and fight for that last slice. The to-go pack comes with matches, candles, plastic knife, two tiny forks and dry ice! Seriously?! That's bomb! read more

Worst customer service, no thank you and staring at me and my family, like we are going to steal bread and we don't belong there . This is America this bakery need to teach their employees how to smile and enjoy their job and that location is very diverse but they are very ignorant.Paris baguette has better customer service!!! read more

Tourist's take: Needed to supply the hotel room with carby creations $10.00 minimum for credit card purchases An excuse for me to grab more green tea steamed cake West coast east coast they all taste the same Convenience and availability is the key Grabbed steamed cakes (individual packs), plain steamed cake, soboro, red bean-filled pastry, and pumpkin-filled pastry Their location probably keeps this place going Within the supermarket area The line can get long since most are impulsive individual purchases read more

Cake House - $10.00 minimum for credit card purchases - all's good - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I must have tried everything from here! Was very tempted to purchase the entire store! Honestly, I don't remember everything that I got or tried, but I definitely remember the chocolate cream bun (not too sweet or creamy, so it was just right), a pound cake type square biscuit, and a tapioca type pancake. All extremely fresh, the pancake being my favorite. There is a huge variety so you're bound to find something you like. So fresh, you can still see the steam in some of the packaging so you should eat it before it goes bad! If I'm ever in the area again, I'm definitely coming back! read more

I love the Cake House. Best bakery in KTown for me. I love the Orange Chiffon Cake! No other bakery can beat the softness, fluffiness and taste of Cake House. I can't eat any other chiffon cake. Other favs are the red bean bread and the fried bread that's filled with veggies is amazing~ read more

Korean bakeries are simply the best! Forget the commercialized bakeries that come from the food network channel. I love that Korean bakeries aren't all about making their goods look pretty, although they do a wonderful job at that too, it's all about having a balanced taste of not just sweet but savory. I wish we had a cake house in MI. read more

Came in to try a slice of earl grey chocolate cake, but to my dismay there were no slices left. I had to resort to a whole cake. Lucky for my friends and family who will be able to partake. I can honestly say that I do not taste any earl grey, maybe they forgot to add the earl grey flavor? The chocolate mousse and cake itself was good. I was able to get the last slice of sweet potato -really good. Soft chiffon cake with a mashed center of sweet potato. Sweet potato cake would be very good with a cup of tea. It just might be too heavy as a dessert after dinner or at least a big dinner. Would have these desserts again. read more

I've been here twice in the last 2-3 months. Both times the red bean balls have been really good! Last time I came in the morning and it smelled like fresh bread, so basically heavenly. Red bean balls were hot that morning, even picked up some sliced butter bread. Also really good. The sliced butter bread tasted almost like a cross between French bread and croissant. Highly recommend. I'll be back tomorrow with friends for red bean balls and to try another bread. read more

I give 3 stars just because the customer service is also important besides the good food. Most of ladies on the counter are very mannerless. I felt it most time I get some bakery. One time the lady was kinda throwing my card on the register even my hand was in front to get it back. After that time I don't go this place unless my parents ask me to go get some bread they like. read more

I used to go cake house so many times whenever I went to galleria market. Yesterday I stopped there around 7:00pm and bought breads which I always buy. When I got back home, and I opened bread & try to eat the bread, the bread seems like really old and the color was changed, and they were hard as stones... and very very dried. So I should throw them away.. I could not eat at all.. Maybe they were selling left over ones which were from many days ago,,, I took pictures of the old breads (which had color changed and totally not fresh) I want them to sell only the fresh ones!! Not the old ones!!! read more

Yummmmmm! I love how they keep their croquettes in a heated area along with their frank/sausage croquettes. Their croquettes are crispy on the outside and filled with perfectly seasones meat and vegis. I really like their cream filled bread, the cream isn't a milky cream, but the denser yellow cream. Its soooo good and not too sweet. Everything ive tried here is really delicious. They are located on the bottom floor of the Galleria by the grocery store. They accept debit/credit card with purchase of at least $10. Free garage parking. read more

Not to be confused with the REAL CakeHouse WIEN!!!! The one inside Galleria Korea market is owned and operated by the FAKE owner. A few years of trademark infringement law suits later, the real Wien took its rightful name back, but couldn't protect the portion of the name "cake house". The fake owner inside Galleria kept on operation under the pretense that they're the real thing, and even tells people that she's even the owner of the chain stores in Korea. NOT TRUE! This woman doesn't know how to bake! She only bribed one chef trained under the real master chef to work at Galleria, hense the similar taste & design. The REAL owner of Cakehouse WIEN is the master pastry chef trained in Japan & Europe, and she's the brains behind the chain stores in Korea & around US. Unless you see the word "Cakehouse WIEN", don't trust them!! There is also a court order to protect the brand, and the name "Cakehouse WIEN". The police had to go back to Galleria Cake House a few times to enforce the court order, because the Galleria Cake House owner kept on operating under false pretense. read more

You know what pastry is getting REALLY popular these days and you see pictures of them on Facebook and Tumblr all the time? FRENCH MACARONS. They're so cute and dainty looking, and they come in a variety of colors and flavors! They almost look like Chocopies but instead of marshmallow, they're filled with a really delicious and fruity cream, sandwiched between two cream covered cookies. The thing is, they are SUPER hard to find...most of the bakeries that sell these pretty things are in France or England or some other country other than the US. That is SO not fair:( BUTTT!! i FINALLY found a place that makes french macarons!!YAYAYAY! The Cake House in the Galleria mall sells them:) I bought a pink one that has a guava flavor and a chocolate one too, and they are both YUMMY! (They're $1.50 each.) The Cake House sells other really delicious breads and cakes, too! I'm just too obsessed with these macarons right now to talk much about the others..haha:) read more

3.5 stars Cakes are a teeny bit pricier than other bakeries, such as Wien or Paris Baguette, and they don't have any extraordinary factor, which means I'll be sticking to other bakeries for any cake occasions. But! What otherwise might've been a 3-star experience was made up by the fact that they don't skimp out on the stuffing! =) Whether it be Cream bread or Red bean paste bread, the bread is stuffed to the max. Given the price paid (normally $1-1.50 per bread pkg), it really irritates me when the cream or the paste is only thinly spread, and just in the middle, leaving the rest of bread.. well, just plain bread. Point to take away? Go for the stuffings! nomnom Oh, I like their ice cream on sticks too. Clean, simple flavor (Green tea, Coffee, Red bean, etc) Parking's usu no problem (on weekdays) since it's located at the entrance to the Galleria market. read more

the crepe cake is the best. 35 bucks is a little pricey. BUT well worth it for that special occassion to wow your favorite sweet-toothed honey. who knew ooey gooey creaminess of layers and layers of crepes make such a luscious cake. they also have less-sweet fruity and mocha flavored mousses, cakes and cheescakes. decor is not too ornate. in the bread department, they also have a wide selection. i like their walnut cream bread - an 8-inch round fluffy and slightly chewy bread with walnuts generously filled with a buttery, light and creamy cool custard. YUM. only 5 bucks. they're located on the bottom floor of the Koreatown Galleria. they're straight to the left of all the supermarket checkout lines downtstairs. i love asian bakeries. i love living in L.A. read more

This cake house location sold old rolls which was hard when I went home to eat it. I called to see if they would exchange the rolls for me. They said they would and I asked for the employees name. She did not give me a name assuring me that the bread would be exchanged for a new one. When I went they told me they do not accept returns on their baked goods. Obviously having no name to give them they refused to switch out the rolls and wasted my time. Once I stated that I would probably file a complaint to the health department for selling old bread did they offer to switch out the rolls. They did ask me for my information and number so that "I don't do this type of thing again." Terrible service here. If they had told me they would not replace the rolls I would have accepted this fact and took it as a loss. Then I probably would be pissed off at the moment and complained the next time I went. Understandable that their staff could have made a mistake and sold bread that was old but their customer service is definitely not acceptable. After this experience with their rude employees- now, not only would I not go back I definitely would advise all others not to be patrons of this establishment. read more

I work in Koreatown so I came here few times. I just think this place is way, way over priced. And the pastry aren't even that good either. I prefer Paris Baguette much better. Prices are about the same but quality and quantity is much better. Taste better too. Also, Cake House's services aren't that great either. Everybody working there seem over-worked, and I've never seen anybody smile here. This place kinda sucks. Probably bad management. read more

A quaint bakery inside the Galleria near the grocery store. Lots of freshly baked options like cake, bread, and even macarons. They open as early as 7 AM and goods are constantly being baked throughout the day. read more

Right near the entrance to the Galleria Market, this bakery can not be easily overlooked. In fact, we tried it the very first time we went to the Galleria Market. The bread/buns were decent enough. And the ice cream sticks brought back so much childhood memories, cheap, good, milky ice cream bars, simple deliciousness. However, I remember always being impressed with the delicate designs of cakes in display cases and debated over the perfect occasion to try their cake. Finally that occasion came, grandpa's 80th birthday! Although we sampled cakes elsewhere, we decided on Cake House without ever trying a single slice of their cake. Call it taking a chance or having blind faith? We placed the VERY SPECIAL order for an oversized sweet potato cake, which feeds 20-25 people with fresh fruits toppings, paid on the spot. Came back a week later, one hour before the actual birthday dinner with receipt to pick up the cake. Girl went look for the cake, 10 mins, couldn't find it, asked the manager, then manager went look for the cake, 15 mins, couldn't find the cake, then the manager got on the phone started calling morning manager/chef... all those time, they smiled and told me "just a minute"... "Sure," I politely replied and didn't think much.... then finally the manager came up to me, apologized "sorry, we didn't make the right cake". wait,, what???? DID YOU JUST TELL ME YOU DON"T HAVE MY CAKE ready!??? THE VERY IMPORTANT CAKE for GRANDPA's 80th Birthday which I ordered a week ago?!?????? How can this happen?! Any day but on a special occasion like today's?! How can you make the mistake when clear instruction was written on the order receipt which I have a copy of and how can there not be anyone doing quality control, if you've made a mistake, how can you not call me earlier to tell me!!!!??? MAD and freaking out at the same time... what do I do now? there is no way to run to any other bakery now to get a cake plus none of them normally have that BIG of a cake ready made. The manager offered to gave us two small cakes instead, but that's just not the same?!? We wanted the particular flavor decorated in a particular way and we wanted ONE WHOLE cake which also symbolizes unity + family!!! Immediately, I felt like I've failed my responsibility... just miserable... sigh... angry... think, re-evaluate the whole situation.... I am extremely unhappy and unsatisfied but we still need a cake! There is no way to celebrate grandpa's 80th without a good cake. So finally I had no choice but to take on the 2 smaller cake offer, I chose one standard sweet potatoes (w/o fruits) + 1 chocolate. I probably looked too upset that the manager finally offered to actually gave us those two small cakes for free and we can also pick up our original order on a different day. I know, it's a great deal, on any other day but today, the meaning would be completely different. I recognize the manager's effort of trying to make us happy and I applaud her for doing so, but I really hope they won't make a mistake like this again. The cake themselves were wonderful. Both moist and fresh, we especially enjoyed the sweet potato cake, not too sweet, definitely different. If you like taro/yam, you will love the sweet potato cake. Given the quality of the cakes, despite the horrible experience, I award the Cake House 3 stars and sincerely hope they would only do better in the future! read more

loveloveLOVE the goodies here. It always smells so yummy and everything looks delicious. I also love their fresh brewed coffee (I am very particular about my coffee!) - it hardly needs any cream and sugar. In addition to pastries and cakes and such, they have these popsicles in different flavors for a buck 25 - I'm addicted to the green tea ones! Overall: A+ Service = 5/5 Quality = 5/5 Pricing = $ (although I am not sure about the cakes & stuff in the cases, never bought anything in the cases before) read more

I always get the cream bun ($1.20). Sometimes the bread filling is so little I feel like what's the point of calling it a cream bun. And the ajummas at the register and the ones refilling the breads are so rude. I don't understand why they are so rude ALL THE FREAKING TIME!! I always have a bad experience here. Go to Vermont location if u can. They are much better. read more

You know whats the best here? THE COFFEE! Freaking A do they lace it with crack? I don't know why but I abosultely love their mixed house blend and hazelnut coffee here! So good! Free refills! They serve fro yo like every other damn Korean place these days and they also have home made ice cream bars. The red bean bar looked good (since I loved those BB Big bars since I was a kid) but they are like $2. Too rich for my blood. Their breads are pretty good too... the corn bread is one of the best here. Come here for the coffee! It's good! read more

Tried a few different types of their Asian bread since my friend brought it over. Overall, good quality and flavors, although nothing really stood out in my mind. There are so many various bakeries in the area that it's hard to tell sometimes. The bread I tried had also been sitting out for 6 hours, so not sure what it would have tasted like if I just ate it at the time of purchase. Will visit in the future and check it out! read more

My dad works in the Galleria plaza (where this bakery is located) and he brings home cakes from here for family birthdays and they have been amazing! I'm a macaron lover so when I found out on Yelp that they had some, I asked my dad to buy all the flavors x) There were pistachio, strawberry, coffee and chocolate at the time of my dad's visit. I was sooo happy because they were all so good! I was completely satisfied. The chocolate one was the best! My poor dad, he's gonna be running some more errands for me ;] read more

My friend's took me here while we were trying to pass time before we went to the funeral. Ken was like remember that pastry you ate last week, it's here. My eyes lit up since I really loved it. It was so good. Well I found some orange chiffon cake and mocha cake. I bought those to take back home. Well a few days later I ate the chiffon cake and it was so moist and light. The mocha cake has raisins in it, which I didn't care for, so I picked them out. Well when I went to try it, the cake was dry and tough. I guess sitting for 3 days even though sealed did not turn out well for the mocha cake. I was bummed since I love almost anything mocha but the raisins kind of killed it. read more

Occasion: Out with friends from UCLA, UCSD, and USC What I Had: Red bean paste pastry Food Review: Standard red bean paste pastry. So far, I haven't had a red bean pastry that has not been delicious. If an Asian bakery cannot get the red bean pastry right, I suspect it would never last long. With that said, the pastry was great and on par with my expectations. Service Review: As with most bakeries, this was grab-n-go, so there was not much service to critique. However, I will say that unfortunately because it was around 9pm, almost all of the breads had already been removed and there was not much selection aside from the red bean pastries, some corn breads, and their macarons (aka French macaroons. If you aren't familiar with the difference between a "macaraon" and a "macaroon," google it). Venue Review: Typical Korean bakery in the clean cut and organized style. The bakery is about the size of your standard Paris Baguette bakery. As this was part of the Galleria market, there was free parking available in the garage in the same complex. We took an elevator one floor to get to the market. Overall Impression: It's difficult to judge this bakery based on the few items they had available at the time, but I'd say from my impression that there was nothing particularly special about this bakery versus other Korean bakeries like Paris Baguette, but no glaring issues either. I'd come here again to check out what other pastries they have available. read more

Cake House has many nice pastry and dessert in their display case. They also have lots of mini cakes, cookies and macarons too. There are many to choose from and they are all individually packaged. I tried a bunch of the assorted cakes, and the mocha and the pistachio macaron. Both macarons were pretty dry and not chewy at all. Height-wise, Cake House has tall and bulky macarons. Anyhow, the cookies were okay. The buttercream was okay, it didn't taste like what it was supposed to be, especially the pistachio one. I say, stick with their cakes and not the macarons. read more

I was waiting for a ride in this plaza and decide to kill time by going down to the bakery and supermarket. This is ABSOLUTELY THE WORST Korean bakery I've been to in Ktown. Not sure how clean the place is because I saw an ant and fruit flies in the display case. DISGUSTING!! Cakes don't look that fresh either. On top of that, horrible customer service. The cashier was extremely rude and unfriendly. I bought about 8 different things, she stuffed everything into a tiny little bag and smashed all the cream filled pastries. I was buying for my parents and brothers so I wanted to bag them separately and wanted an extra bag. When I tried to take an extra bag, she stopped me using her hands telling me I already have one. Excuse me, if you had given me a larger plastic bag in the first place, this wouldn't have happened and you wouldn't have smashed all my pastries. Had a very bad experience, not going back again. Save yourself the visit, avoid this place. Paris Baguette is so much better, quality-wise and customer service-wise. read more

I love stocking up on korean bread items. They have a great selection of red bean, creme-filled, raisin bread, buttercream varieties. They're all soft and ready to eat! Avg price is around $3. They sell cakes too which all look delicious and have a minimlistic look on decorations which I appreciate. The coffee here isn't anything to write home about but they have a selection of espresso drinks too. It's nice that it's inside the Galleria market so I can pick up some bread items and go grocery shopping as well. read more

I don't like this place because I think it's a lot of fluff. Everything looks good, but the taste is another story. I'm all about taste and less about visual appeal. If you want a nicely decorated cake or pretty shaped bread with no taste, then come here. The breads here are honestly whatever and OVERPRICED. Sure, their cakes look pretty but their taste is another story. I can't believe they charge like $16 - $20 for their roll cakes...you have to be kidding me...you can get them for like $8 everywhere else. I see that they're making fresh bread, but it doesn't taste fresh to me. Their sweet bean bread is way too sweet and their cakes don't taste right. I can't believe I just paid tons of money for a cheesecake that tastes nothing like a cheesecake. Why is this place always so busy??? I think it's just their strategic location. Of course people will be tempted to buy bread and coffee as soon as they finish getting groceries. It's convenient but not tasty and overpriced. read more

I can stuff up with carbs easily here. The bread is just too good. I tried their mocha bun, buttercream bun, and their soboro bun. I'd definitely recommend the mocha bun. I'm not a coffee addict, but the soft bread and the creamy texture of the bun was to die for. mm. The buttercream bun was pretty good too. Not the healthiest option there is (a lot of sugar and corn syrup was used here), but if you have a sweet tooth, you'd love this bun. I wouldn't recommend getting the soboro bun if you've eaten one before (or even if you've tried its food relatives- the Chinese pineapple bun or the Japanese melon pan before.) I've definitely tasted better soboro buns. Though this is a bakery, they sell ice cream bars that actually melt in your mouth! DO try the vanilla one! No comment about the service, since the workers didn't interact with the customers until they're at the cash register. I would definitely stop by again if I'm around Koreatown! read more
