My wife mentioned this place since she sees it on her IG account so we decided to try it this…read moreFriday!! It is located next to the grocery store Nobhill and there are quick 20min parking in front of the store. We were greeted right when we entered the door and looked at the delicious treats to eat. There is the main seating area and another area in the back to sit down along with sitting outside. It felt upscale and nice. The sign in front of the store had some drink specials and I got a strawberry/matcha drink I think it was called Rose. I asked what was good here and the cashier said the mini almond pastries and other treats in the front. The mini almond pastry was really good and also got a crème brûlée which was really good as well. I would come back again and try their hot teas next time. Delicious treats. Good upscale vice a nice place to catch up with friends!!!

So when I say Cest Si Bon is flawless, you know it's serious. This has become our mandatory stop for every celebration, especially Nowruz. My mom literally hides the sweets so no one else will eat them. It's started a war in the family. Actually don't come here if you want peace. But do come here if you want the best - their Persian sweets are easily the most beautiful and delicious I've ever seen, but their real talent is dealing with me. I am notoriously indecisive and change my mind constantly, yet they remain incredibly accommodating. If they were ever annoyed with my million questions, they deserve an award for not showing it. They handle every order with a level of meticulous care that is unheard of. From small sweets to large cakes, they make sure they truly understand your vision and work with you until the moment you pick up that cake and shove it in your mouth. Haven't talked to my mom since she hid the nokhodchi from me. Worth it.

Looks aside, they taste just as amazing as the regular ones. The filling is rich, creamy, and super generous. Every bite is packed and satisfying without being too heavy. The chocolate on top is the perfect touch, not overly sweet and balances everything out nicely. Fun, fresh, and actually delicious. Highly recommend you try these!

I decided to call the bakery up and have them set aside two pies for me. When I got to the bakery, the friendly owner greeted me and we chatted for sometime. They take pride in baking and it really shows. They use organic and locally grown fruits. They use simple ingredients and yet the baked goods are delicious. The apple pie and the pear tart weren't too sweet. The pie crusts weren't too thick , which I really liked. The jam cookies were also very delicious. They were a little buttery and weren't really sweet. I love supporting locally mom and pop places. I will definitely continue to buy their pies . I also want to try their cakes as well.

Both the strawberries and the cake truly shined and the cake had just the right amount of sweetness, while the taste and aroma of the strawberries enhanced the overall richness of the cake. I doubt it would have worked nearly as well if the strawberries had been too tart or the cake overly sweet. Plus, it was so incredibly soft that even after a full dinner it went down effortlessly; it was practically addictive!

This review is specifically about the Bûche De Noël (Yule Log) cake. I have found, over the years,…read morethat most such cakes are made with mousse, which is fine but not my preference for the holidays. This one is more traditional with chocolate flavored sponge case and very light cream between the rolled cake layers. In terms of presentation, the cake is top level, and quality and taste match the presentation beautifully. I look forward to trying other offerings in the near future. Right now Le Cake is just an online order operation with random pickup location (no storefront). I picked up the cake in a church parking lot in Saratoga. The lady who makes and delivers is very nice, and you can tell she is passionate about her creations. It will be no surprise to me when she opens a brick and mortar store very soon. In the meantime, I will certainly keep ordering online and picking up in the church parking lot.

Update Review: First things first, I'd like to clarify that…read morethe cake and filling was indeed what I ordered. Secondly, I have to give credit where it's due- Sweets By Design totally came through when it came to taste and wow factor (minus the drip design)!! Cake was fantastic [MOIST & DELICIOUS] and I was surprised by my in-laws approval as well. No joke, they are harsh critics when it comes to desserts and to see them enjoy every bite was definitely a SLAM DUNK. I legit couldn't cut the cake fast enough!! On a side note, thank you Nicole for immediately reaching out to me regarding my disappointment. She handled the situation in a prompt and professional manner. I appreciated her genuineness and heartfelt concern about my issues. 3 stars overall but one additional star for Nicole's customer service. She truly cares about her clients. Business is booming for SBD for obvious reasons and my only warning would be the glitch in communication. Be aware that you may need to reach out and send a few reminder pokes. ---------------------------------------------------- I really wanted to like this small business, I really had high hopes. Unfortunately Sweets By Design is an absolute bust!! After a not so good first impression with SBD during my baby shower planning, I still wanted to give Nicole and her business a try. Since we were never really able to celebrate the birth of my daughter the way we wanted, my husband and I wanted to make her 6 month [[half]] bday a little bit sweeter. I decided to reach out and see if Nicole could help me with our cake. To start off, the issues with communication was just as bad as the 1st time around. I reached out to the business via Instagram on 9/26 and got a response back quickly. I informed the cake's pick up date and sent over 3 designs that I was potentially looking at. I ended up settling with the pastel, drip, macaron, & sprinkles design [see attached photo]. A quote was promised the following day [9/27] and NOTHING WAS RECEIVED. Nicole did reach out 2 days later with the pricing and I was ready to place my order and get the ball rolling. NO RESPONSE. I dm again asking for a cake flavor listing so I can finalize the order and process whatever cost that is needed. AGAIN, CRICKETS! I am forced to reach out yet again on 9/30 asking if she was going to be able to make the cake adding that important details and payment had not yet been able to be finalized. At that point I finally get a response. The entire process of working with this baker is just more stressful than it should. An email was sent to confirm cake info and the filling listed was incorrect. Then 2 days prior to pick up, I have to message Nicole again about an address as to where I need to pick up my order. She then sends another revised email. Cake- My husband was left with the job of picking up the cake since I have an infant to attend to. He comes home with a cake that is nice BUT NOT WHAT I ORDERED. The drip design was nowhere to be found. At this point, I question whether or not the cake & the filling is even correct. I am super let down by what was delivered, even after all the detailed discussion with Nicole. I have dm'd her through IG & sent her texts regarding my disappointment so we'll see how that goes. I'll update my review if/when I hear back from someone regarding this matter.

My friend ordered me a cake from here for my virtual baby shower and my husband picked it up as a…read moresurprise so I don't have much information in terms of communication and ordering or the process of picking up the cake but can attest to the design and flavor! My virtual baby shower was boba themed so my friend sent a picture of one of the graphics my sister made for me for the baby shower as inspiration for the boba cake. The cake (picture attached) looked just like the graphic and was perfect! I liked that she used an actual boba straw for the top and that it was very detailed and cute. Everyone who was able to see it online thought it was a perfect boba cake. For flavorings, my friend and husband chose the lemon with raspberry (I think) filling. It was one of the hottest days in the Silicon Valley (over 100 degrees) but the cake kept fine in the car and sitting out. The cake itself was moist, not too sweet and had the right amount of lemon flavoring. The raspberry part was also very good. Overall, no complaints about the texture or flavor of the cake. I'm not the hugest fan of fondant so I'm not the best judge but the overall icing was fine as well. Overall, very impressed with the style, design and execution of the cake. The flavor was also good!

It saddens me that I have to write this review because I have received 3 wonderful cakes from…read moreDayanna. Also, she was so accommodating by making this cake on a Thursday when her availability is strictly weekends. However, if I knew that asking for an accommodation would mean my needs wouldn't have been met I would have looked elsewhere. I ordered a 7 inch buttercream cake but instead received fondant which went uneaten. I went back to review the invoice she sent and I realized there was a portion that said fondant but it also said buttercream so I just ignored it because I had no problems with the previous cakes I had received. This cake was for my friends son so I was so sad when they complained about the toughness of the fondant. I should have contacted her prior to make sure it would be buttercream but I believe she also could have let me know she would have been diverging from what I requested. Especially because $220 isnt cheap :(. The inside of the cake was great!

I was really looking forward to the custom cake I ordered, especially since I provided a reference…read morephoto for size comparison. Unfortunately, the cake I received was much smaller than expected. The sizing descriptions on the order form didn't reflect what was delivered, and it didn't match the scale shown in the reference image I shared, nor did she let me know that it wouldn't look the same. The cake itself lacked many details of the reference cake and it was also delivered late, making me believe that she spent extra time on final touches. To my surprise, the cake was very far off from what I had asked for. I tried reaching out to provide feedback but I didn't receive a response.
