    Banana Fosters latte, Smoked Ham & Gruyere Croissant, eclat choclate - G Love edition
    Stan H.

    Staff is friendly, clean place, price point is a bit expensive. Cupcake size is good for not eating too much but the cake is so flavorful that you want it to be bigger too. This is most certainly what they specialize in as it is in the name. I went with something savory which was okay. Couldn't really taste the smokiness of the ham. I wish they had a salad option but I don't think people would come here for one. Chocolate bar is uber expensive but at least it is definitely superbly done from the Eclat company.

    Confetti cake

    I can't recommend Cake Life enough! We are from Philly originally (but live out of town now) and having my husband's birthday in town. I contacted the shop and they were prompt and extremely helpful! They contacted me prior to the party to confirm the details and allowed family members to pick up the cakes without a problem (instead of me). The actual cake were beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious! Everyone at the party couldn't get over the taste!

    Cinnamon Roll

    Top 5 favorite cinnamon rolls in the city! They are always consistent, and have a cinnamon roll special too. The stay is always attentive and so helpful.

    Sugar Cookie

    Stopped in here on a whim and grabbed a few goodies to try for Valentine's Day. I grabbed a mini key lime pie, a nanaimo bar, and two cookies. The key lime pie was divine. The nanaimo bar was good and reminded me of something, but I couldn't quite place it. For cookies I tried the lemon chamomile & an oatmeal berry - both were perfectly moist and flavorful. I think for my next visit I'd like to go earlier in the day for a better selection. But at the same time, I'd go back and place my exact order all over again because it was so good.

    Great cafe/bakery. Everything is so yummy and beautifully done. Staff is so kind and for the gays! Very cozy seating with nice people-watching windows.

    Rose Pistachio Matcha
    Komal R.

    The Petal Pistachio cookies topped with rose petals are quite delightful - the shortbread base is slightly soft, crumbly and not too sweet. The lattes are below average though - I think the one I got was Rose Pistachio Matcha and it had no hint of any of those ingredients. The woman behind the counter was sweet and helpful but the guy - who wasn't even attending to us but inserting himself in our conversation - looked grumpy and very likely hates his job.

    I Absolutely love Cake Life Bake Shop! The seasonal coffee flavors are next-level -- so creative and perfectly balanced, not too sweet, just right. Their cupcakes and desserts are seriously delicious -- moist, flavorful, and beautifully decorated. It's one of those places where you have to grab a little something extra because the gifts and cute finds are just irresistible. Whether you're popping in for a treat or picking up something special, you really can't go wrong here. Total gem in the neighborhood!!!

    We got an assortment of spring cupcakes for the office and they were a HIT! I am so grateful for how kind and sweet Devin was when helping me pick out flavors-- they even reminded me to try and get a gluten free option which I almost forgot to do! All cupcakes were deliciously filled with flavor, not too sweet, and felt like eating a luxury for a great price! Their buttercream is divine. The texture is so luciously buttery without feeling fake. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The shops itself is super easy to get to on the el or the bus. I had no trouble carrying everything to work on my own in their packaging (although my coworker dropped the bag bringing them upstairs...) but everything stayed put together and of course the flavor was not hurt at all! This shop has amazing, extended hours and a really cute interior. I love the mural inside of it I stared as I finished my cup of coffee I bought for myself cause everything smelled so divine I had to get a little treat, too! Excited to bring my work back and hopefully some other community organizations that I work with. Thanks, Cake Life Bake Shop!

    Strawberries 'n' Cream Poppin' Tart
    Amanda R.

    I stumbled across Cake Life by accident with my best friend after grabbing lunch nearby, and I instantly fell in love. Then I found out they made Beyoncé's birthday cake, and I was done--how could you not love this place?! On my first visit, I had the Nanaimo bar, the honey butter biscuit with a side of butter, and the butterbeer drink. Everything was so yummy! I love Nanaimo bars but can never find them, so I was thrilled--and this one was exceptional. The honey butter biscuit was warm, flaky, and perfect with the butter, and the butterbeer drink? Sweet, creamy, and magical. By my second visit, I was completely hooked. I tried the strawberry n' cream poppin tart (ridiculously delicious), the hot chocolate with the fluffiest, hugest homemade marshmallow, and the everything bagel croissant--which is now my absolute favorite. The croissant was the perfect bite: garlicky, with just the right amount of salt, rich and buttery, and topped with the creamiest, most heavenly drop of scallion cream cheese. Every layer was perfection. The shop itself is super charming and cozy, with free WiFi and the nicest baristas. It's the perfect little spot to treat yourself or just relax for a while. I absolutely love visiting here and trying something new every time. Everything they make is a hit, and I'm already planning my next trip. Beyoncé and I clearly have great taste!

    Staff is wonderful... cheerful and attentive. Baked goods are superb. Rice crispy treats... best ever. I highly recommend stopping here several times a week.

    My partner and I were looking for some afternoon sweets around Fishtown. We were entranced by the beautiful side mural and then realized the bakery inside. Food: 5/5 We ordered the vegan brownie and the strawberry cream pop tart with a Chai latte. I am not going to lie, all of the desserts were fire. But, my favorite was the pop tart. It is a hearty dessert with a thick flakey crust and a decadent center. The total damage was $17. Service: 5/5 They were so nice to our indecisive selves. They just have so many good options! Also, because of my lactose intolerance, they were able to make a oat chai latte. The ambiance is super chill with lots of seating. It was such as nice experience. All in all, I would definitely come back! It is a great cafe and full service bakery. We saw many tiered cakes on display.

    This cake shop is super cute. I love the aesthetic, and the staff were kind. The matcha was good, and they had a pretty good selection of baked good. Personally, I think the cal was dry. The buttercream on the funfetti was super underwhelming. I like a thicker or more rich frosting. This was more whipped tasting. I know people love that texture, but I don't. I don't really know the going rate of cake, but two slices were about $19ish. That felt high, but like I said I'm not sure of the going rate. My only other problem was with the actual bakery hours not matching what was online. That was a little frustrating going all the way there and getting turned away.

    Cupcakes and cakes!
    Pauline P.

    Pros - love their seasonal items! We ordered their maple pecan pie for Thanksgiving and it was magical. I don't think I've ever had pie that tasted that good! - variety of cookies and cupcakes- it's the perfect place to grab a sweet treat and coffee - they have cute accessories in the shop for you to browse while waiting too! - service is quick despite them being almost always busy - love that they open late! - offer indoor seating Cons - limited parking nearby - a bit of a tight space for a cafe (limited indoor seating) so it can feel stuffy when it gets crowded - there are steps leading into the shop so it's definitely not stroller friendly!

    Has anyone ordered a costume/ signature Cake from cake life? If so, how was it?

    Amazing experience. I think it can be overwhelming but they have consultants and plenty of options available. They did our daughter's theme birthday party and it was amazing.

    Can Cake Life Bake Shop deliver a birthday cake and can it be done same day?

    Their hotel room's glass shower door shattered with me naked inside leaving me with cuts on my body…read moreso deep that I needed immediate emergency attention and stitches. I was admitted to the nearest emergency room because I took a shower at this hotel and used the shower and its door normally. I was cut along my left wrist and forearm and on my right foot. Two of my toes and my wrist and arm are still recovering from this injury nearly a full month after this incident. At least one medical professional told me that I could have been at risk of bleeding out (dying) if the situation was slightly worse. And who knows if this hotel uses the same model shower door for more than just one of their rooms? The hotel's management did not call me to ensure my safety, apologize for the horror that they have put me through, or do their utmost to ensure that I am compensated for the horror that I was forced to experience at their establishment and it's been nearly a full calendar month since the incident with no successful proactive contact from them. Other than this horrifying experience which can likely happen to any of their other guests who decide to shower in their establishments the experience was beautiful. Very nice hotel room. Very dangerous shower. So if you are okay with risking your life and health every time you use their shower or don't plan on showering at their establishment at all, this is a great hotel for you to stay at.

    Stopped in for brunch while in the area. The food was delicious. The service staff was very…read morefriendly and patient. The only downside was the limited menu for someone in my group that has a gluten allergy. The menu was small and most of the items had bread/flour or included an ingredient that was cross contaminated.
