I have mixed feelings about this bakery. I called on Friday to put an order for Wednesday. I ordered an 8" choco flan with happy birthday on the top. Joe took my order, and everything went so smoothly. I need another cake--a simple cake with a hiking theme, preferably a tres leches. So on Sunday, I called and called since morning, and nobody answered. I decided to drive 40 minutes to their store and arrived at 4:45 pm. I read other reviews that stated how horrible they were during the closing time and was disappointed that the reviews appeared to be true. Here's what happened, I stepped in and was greeted by two ladies. The lady behind the counter asked me what I needed, and I said I wanted to order a cake. She said we are close, come back tomorrow. It was 4:45 pm, and their office hours were 5 pm. She said we need 30 mins for a cake consultation. I said I needed a simple cake, maybe a hiking theme. I showed her pictures from their Instagram, and she said, "NO, we don't do that here" to every photo I offered. "Fondant cake, no. We do buttercream". I showed buttercream decor, a simple ombre cake, and she said, "no, we don't do that." So I asked, what can you make? She answered nothing, and we are close. Oh, you can't imagine how pissed I was at that moment. But I stayed calm and said I had an order for Wednesday and asked if she could check that order. I am trying to put an order for a tres leches cake for Wednesday. She wrote the order down. Then I wondered if I could come tomorrow to order the custom cake, can I cancel the tres leches? She said no. (So many noes at this time). She said she wouldn't input my tres leches order and call tomorrow to order if I can't make it. It was fair enough, so I paid for the choco flan. The next day, on Monday, I can't make it to the store. So I called them. I ordered a tres leches, and the lady was so lovely. She asked if I wanted cream or fruits in the middle, what kind of decorations I wished to with the cake..ballon or rose or fruits. Keep in mind, the lady who was about to take my tres leches order yesterday didn't offer any options. To cut the story short, the cake came out beautiful. An ombre blue, like what I wanted. It tasted delicious too. It has a light flavor and is so juicy. You can eat more and more. The choco flan was good, too. In conclusion, the food was good, but I gave two stars for lousy customer service--such a traumatic rejection. read more

Such a great neighborhood bakery that makes cakes, cookies, cupcakes and special novelties. I've been coming here for maybe 5 years or so and they're quality has always been consistent with good pricing. My favorite cake is the chocolate ganache cake- it appears like it would be too sweet and overbearing .. but it's just so fantastic, light, moist, creamy and chocolatey. Heads up, on weekends I've experienced lines especially of it's a holiday weekend, however the staff tries to keep it moving. My other personal faves: Black and white cake (sold by the slice or may pre order) Napoleon cake Butterflies Wedding pecan cookies Chocolate chip cookie Chocolate thumbprint cookies Candlelight is on the corner of the strip mall off of Studebaker and Rosecrans I think next to a bionicos shop and a discount grocery store. read more

Cake came out perfect. I ordered Friday and picked up Saturday. For gender reveal cakes you can't get quotes over the phone unfortunately. So I did have to go into the bakery to get quotes and choose an option for gender cake. Service was fast and easy. When I picked up on Saturday it was very busy (2:40pm) Didn't take no more than 10-15 minutes to pick up. Loved the outcome of the cake. I bought the topper (Boy or Girl) on Amazon. Cake was about 6 inches width. It came out to $48 read more

This location it AMAZING! We called the right before closing on a Saturday the 17th to ask for a last minute 2 tier cake for my birthday on Sunday the 18th, after another baker canceled my cake at the last minute. My sister and I knew the chances of getting a custom cake this late where slim but she reached out to Candlelight anyway. They initially said that the cake I wanted may could not be done in less than 24 hours, but their customer service was above and beyond! She had us talk to the cake specialist and they made it happened! Cake was ready next day at 2pm! Thank you so much Candlelight Bakery!!! the cake was beautiful and the taste even better. Thanks to them my 40th birthday was not ruined . I'm ordering all my cakes from Candlelight from now on! read more

Our family has come here for any cakes we have needed for over 20yrs. I'm almost 33 and I can remember going into this bakery as a child and looking at all the pastries, cookies, cakes, etc. (It used to be a couple doors down and not nearly as upgraded as it is now). Through the years we've recommended Candlelight Bakery to everyone we know whenever anything about cake comes up. It is the lightest and fluffiest cake, and I absolutely love the whipped cream frosting. It's not too sweet AT ALL. My favorite filling is the whipped cream with strawberries. I also love the cakes they have premade with the fruit on top and sliced almonds on the side. I love that I'm able to go to Candlelight now as an adult for any time my husband, myself, or our kids need a cake. I've never left a review here before (I'm not a big review person), but the last cake we got, for a 2nd bday we had at our house recently, absolutely blew me away! It was SO beautiful, they did an incredible job!!! It looked so much better than the photo we gave them for reference, and really dressed up the whole party. And of course, it tasted absolutely delicious and had all our guests asking where we got it! (As per usual). It was white cake, whipped cream frosting, top tier filled with whipped cream, bottom tier filled with whipped cream and strawberries. read more

Back again - as I promised myself years ago, candlelight was my wedding cake. I ordered two half sheet Napoleon cakes for 100 people and they were a BIG HIT. My family was so worried since neither my family or my husband's were big dessert people and they were scared we'd have a lot left over (when I say worried, it was a huge understatement - my mom was frantic) However, the cake was a huge hit - every piece was gone and many people were sad they couldn't get seconds. It came highly requested from my friends to buy one for our Friendsgiving this month. I cannot get over how amazing EVERYTHING is at this bakery. Napoleon cake is perfection, Oreo is fudgey and the right amount of sweetness, tres leches is delicious, EVERYTHING. My ultimate favorite bakery read more

Great cake and service. Made a pretty complicated cake with 24 hours notice. Not bad for a busy bakery, especially when most others wanted at least 48 hour notice. Seemed a bit expensive, but never ordered a cake like this before Cake -- 5 stars. Tasted great. Vanilla cake with horchata cream on the bottom and red velvet with strawberry filling on top. They actually mixed it up, but came out pretty tasty anyway. Red velvet was the stand out. Could not really taste the horchata, but strawberry was delicious. Service - 4 stars. Other than the slight mix up on fillings, having the cake ready in less than a day was pretty awesome. The My Little Pony decorations had to be added after because the bakery said it might tip over during transport. Made sense, but felt kinda weird, along with the mix up of fillings, which is why only 4 out of 5 stars. Why pay $30 for the decorations at the bakery when we have to add them ourselves? Fair or not? Not sure. Could have bought toys at Target for $10. Price - 3 stars. Cake was $145 and toys we added were $30 more for a total of $175. Is that a reasonable price? Seems like a lot for a cake, but it was nice and they did have it ready in 24 hours. read more

What a wonderful bakery. I was looking for a bakery that sells cakes that are not over sweetened like the kinds you would get at Costco or Walmart or many other American bakeries. I usually go to an asian bakery to find such cakes. But when I found this place on yelp, I decided to give it a try. I got the 8" vanilla cake and it was Divine. The cake was light and fluffy. The cream was also light and not excessively sweet. The fruits are deliciously filled the cake along with the toppings. Overall, I would recommend getting a cake from this bakery. read more

I usually order my cakes from this bakery every time I throw birthday parties or gatherings. I never really had any complaints until today. RATING 1/10 * MOLD ON CAKE Yesterday I threw my son his 1st birthday & ordered a 1/2 sheet vanilla cake with strawberries and creme. I paid roughly around $75. My pick up time for the cake was at 11:00AM and I didn't get to the bakery until 11:30am. Everything went smoothly, I was in and out of the bakery. I arrived at the park for my son birthday party at 12:00pm and blew out the cake at 3:00 PM. When I had a slice of a cake the outer cream wasn't as bad but when I took a few bites, I notice it didn't taste "fresh" as usual. I tried not to let it bother me and I just brushed it off. Everyone at the party had a slice and mostly everyone took a slice home as well. Later on that evening my niece called me and told me that the cake had MOLD on it & for me not to eat it. I was also getting multiple texts and calls from other family members and friends that they seen mold on it and the cake didn't have any flavor! I was so EMBARRASSED because I giving out MOLDY cake to babies, kids, pregnant women's and etc, also I was so AFRAID that people were going to get SICK from the cake! I had to call 50+ people warning them not to eat the cake due to MOLD. This is so UPSETTING! I don't understand how the MOLD can grow so quickly on the cake when it was 66 degrees outside with slight of cloud and the cake was covered in a sheltered space and wasn't opened until we blew out the cake. I'm assuming that they baked this cake 2-3 days in advance because mold can grow significantly within 24 to 48 hours. It's so funny because when I called before preordering the cake the lady that took my order specifically said they bake their cakes the night before sometimes 1-2 days in advanced. I will not be ordering any bakery from this location anymore and I will continue to spread this story to my friends, family and my social media about the MOLD on the cake.

Mexican Chocolate Cheesecake when? It's been over 5 years since you've had it and nothing comes close to equaling it's decadence. Please bring it back - it's one of the few things that brought joy into my life. :(

Do they have gluten free cakes?

Is there cake tasting when placing an order?

You know what, I have not done any cake tasting... I only buy there bake goods... You should ask them ...

Are they open during Coronavirus quarantine?

No, they aren't. :( All of their locations have been closed "until further notice" as of March 27, 2020. Check them out on IG @candlelightbakery for updates. Be well.

Does anyone know their website? It seems like the one listed candlelightbakery.net is no longer operational.

That's a good one Sorry but I don't

I just really want to know why they even have a phone when they don't pick up? I called NINE times. Picture attached

Yes, they have one phone line but are an extremely busy bakery. They do not do consultations or orders over the phone, so if that's what you're looking for, you will have to stop by.

It felt like I went through a time warp because the employee working behind the register didn't seem to have any idea what I was trying to say regarding Fivestars, though he did notice a little trifold card on the front counter mentioning Fivestars. I asked if he could get his manager so I could explain, and even show, him my Fivestars reward. The reward said "already accepted", which he almost thought meant I had redeemed it already, but if that were the case, then it would have said "already redeemed". Given that they've now done away with Fivestars, I'm not too surprised he may have gotten the words "accepted" confused with "redeemed", but luckily, he was happy enough to honor it for me. The employee who assisted me was very helpful, though he did ask me to repeat the topping and the drizzle that I wanted. I chose the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor ice cream with Fruity Pebbles toppings and a Strawberry drizzle on top. Since I had already tried the cookie flavors before, I figured I'd try the fruity flavors this time around. He said he needed about 5 minutes to prepare my waffle bites, which were presented a little different than last time. Last time, I got the Cookie Butter flavor with *Cookie* Crisp and Peanut *Butter* (see what I did there?), and it came in a small plastic takeout container. This one came in a large plastic cup, and I'm thinking the logistics may have changed a ton between my last two visits. I did appreciate how the employee asked if I wanted the waffles on top of or beneath the ice cream before making the waffle bites; I chose on top. He also asked if I'd like powdered sugar on top, to which I agreed. Unfortunately, neither of the waffle bites I got from my last two visits impressed me that much. As a matter of fact, the only thing that impressed me was the strawberry drizzle. Everything else fell kind of flat. While generous in size for the $8 price tag, the Cookie Butter and the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream didn't really taste like these flavors at all! For whatever reason, the peanut butter didn't add much flavor, but the strawberry drizzle added a lot! How even?! In short, the waffle bites weren't that much of an upgrade from the ice cream scoop that I had on my first visit. I'm willing to say "too much good was no good" here. The waffles themselves were good, but they can only do so much when a flavored ice cream doesn't even taste like that flavor. It's worth noting that on my penultimate visit, when I got the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, I saw two employees behind the front counter who were ready to take my order. I asked them to explain what the waffle bites were, but it took them a couple of tries to actually understand what I was asking. From what I gathered, the waffle bites were similar to the ice cream scoop I had on my first visit, but with the addition of a warm waffle to supplement the ice cream. However, the step-by-step process remains the same. I was initially told it would take 6 minutes to prepare the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, but it actually took 15! It seemed like one was training the other or they were trying to gather the ingredients and/or the steps needed to create the waffle bites. After about 10 minutes, I was told by one of the employees they had to make a new batch of waffles because the first batch had burnt. The music was getting pretty loud, so it was hard to hear him after that, but I didn't want to hold up the kitchen prep process any longer. I just said "Alright, sure" so he could continue preparing my order. I do appreciate how he let me know of this so that I'd know the reason for the extended wait, but I wish they weren't so ill-prepared during my visit. So overall, still 3 stars overall. I appreciate the prior partnership with Fivestars, but these missed opportunities have led me to believe that Cravings is just not for me. I doubt I'll try anything else on their ice cream menu, and considering that there are only a few parking spots in their lot, it will take a lot to get me to try their hot chicken. And speaking of lack of parking, I also want to mention that on my second visit, I saw two open parking stalls right in front of Cravings, one on either side of a car. That car had its driver's side wide open so that I couldn't park there. I had to park on the passenger side of that car, which he left much less room for. Perhaps a microcosm of the clientele in this part of town? Everybody deserves a second chance, right? Unfortunately, not everybody can make the most of them, and this is just one example of such. Thanks for the sweet treats Cravings, but I'll get my next one somewhere else.

If you are looking for a unique experience stop by Cravings Ice Cream! The menu is fun and I have…read morenot seen anything like their options before. The ice cream was a 5/5 for me, the toppings, and waffles combined well giving a crunch to the soft ice cream. Free parking is available but limited, and they have outdoor seating with a v for entertainment. I was joyed to see the international snacks available for purchase! I had to buy some oreos. Another perk was the eatery nextdoor!

The place is small but cozy and they have a giant couch in the middle for lounging. The price is high compare to other places, with the exception of their daily special tea. Their tea is actually cheap. I love love the jasmine calamonsi tea, so refreshing for $3. The halo halo was overwhelmed with ice cream, need more of other ingredients. The monster oreo shake was delicious but it is not worth it for that price. The ube flan cupcake was just ube cupcake and flan stack on top. It kinds of lacking the cohesiveness. Overall, I would come back just for that tea.

I really appreciated how nice and helpful the workers were. The girl who helped us offered recommendations and let us sample a handful of flavors. Ultimately we decided to get a flight which included 4 flavors of kid sized scoops for $15. They had a "Brewed and Bold" offering as part of their seasonal menu so we decided to get the Black Sesame Cookies and Cream, Thai Tea Buttercrunch, Matchaberry Brownie, and their Hojicha Chip. The ice cream flavors were subtle but so delicious and refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try more of their flavors. Parking can be a bit tough depending on the time of day as it's in a busy plaza shared with other eateries, but thankfully we were able to snag a spot within a few minutes.

I've been holding off on writing this review for a while because I really wanted to give them a…read morechance to improve, but after my recent visit, it's clear things are only getting worse. The ice cream here is honestly horrible. It is aggressively, tooth-achingly sweet--to the point where it feels like you're eating straight corn syrup. If you're looking for actual flavor, look elsewhere; this stuff just tastes like "diabetes in a cup." To make matters worse, the consistency is a mess. It melts way too fast, turning into a sugary soup before you can even get through half of it. I also made the mistake of buying a tub to take home once, only to realize the expiration date was incredibly soon. For the price they charge, you'd expect high-quality ingredients and a decent shelf life, but it just feels cheap and poorly made. Save your money and your health. I won't be coming back. PS. It's a blessing in disguise that they're currently closed because a car ran into their front store.

Parking: They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a parking spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating. The tables and seats were kept clean. There's cute decor from the ceiling as well. This is the type of spot where you'd bring your family with younger kids for something sweet, while the adults sit and talk. When we visited, my family and one other family pretty much took up all the tables lol. Service: There was only one worker behind the counter serving and making the drinks and desserts. She doesn't acknowledge anyone. It wasn't too busy, but throughput took a while since she was by herself. There's two kiosk to order from. You don't really interact with the worker until she brings out your order. Desserts & drinks: We ordered a mixture of almost everything. We noticed there were a few menu items that were out of stock. I ordered a mango pamelo sago, my sister ordered a brown sugar boba milk tea, my cousin ordered an americano, and my other cousin ordered a strawberry & cream eggette. I thought the mango pamelo sago was okay; the mango flavor was lacking except for the actual mangos. There was plenty of sago, but I thought this dessert was underwhelming. My sister thought the boba was okay bc it had an interesting texture, and the drink itself was lightly sweet than what she's used to. My cousin thought the coffee was okay. The only thing we all enjoyed was the eggette. It's a bubble waffle with ice cream and fresh fruits, which is pretty difficult to mess up. Pricing: Prices are pretty high for the portions offered. Overall, the desserts were underwhelming and some didn't meet our expectations. The eggettes are most likely the only thing we'll come back for.

Searching down the map for the drive back from LA, saw this interesting thing. And great reviews from others sealed the deal to try it out. Online ordering with pick up time was very convenient. Driving down, got a text about 5 min before pick up time, just perfect. Cute and super clean store. Friendly gal grabbed the order for me and I was off in no time. Got the party pack (30) for the school staff, and of course had to try for myself too with a regular (9). Ended up being an hour and a half before I got around to trying our box of 9. Looked interesting enough. Kid took his bite and said yum. I took mine to the sink (lol) to catch any crumbs, but surprised me that it's not just a ball of a regular donut. This had an amazingly satisfying crispy crunchy exterior, with an airy chewy interior! I can't imagine how much better it would be when freshly made at the store! Even an hour and a half later was delicious... Me and the kid quickly devoured our 3 each and struggled to leave 3 for wife before we had to go to an activity. When we returned, wife was also raving, what was that, where did you get it? Trust me, you will not be able to eat just one. I'm greedy, I definitely want more than 3 next time! Donut ball itself wasn't overly sweet, just delicious period. I guess it's the toppings that add the sweetness. Only tried the classic (honey cinnamon, walnut). The other flavors will probably be amazing desserts, but I think all I need is just the donut ball by itself. Honey and walnut adds a bit of sweetness and bite, but the base donut ball is a shining star on it's own in my book! Good thing was the honey was mostly on the bottom and walnut crumbles on top, so you can rub as much or not of those as it fits you. Few days later, each of us were still talking about this greek donut. Just looking for a reason to grab this again. Father's day is coming up, I think it's time for a Party!

The person helping us was friendly, informative and so welcoming, and took their time telling us the origins of the donuts, explaining the flavors and the options to us. Very sweet, very kind! We came in at 2 on a Tuesday and they had just finished making a fresh batch (they are made every 30 minutes), so we lucked out on that and got to try these at their peak! Really wonderful. This will definitely be a stop for us when we are out this way again. Might even be worth driving for as a special treat from time to time!

From the moment you arrive, the vibe is lively and welcoming--perfect for grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a full meal. Let's talk about the star of the show: the birria tacos... these are straight fire . The tortillas are perfectly crisped on the outside, soaked in rich, flavorful consommé, and packed with tender, juicy meat that's seasoned to perfection. Every bite is loaded with savory goodness, and dipping them into that deep, flavorful broth just takes it to another level. Easily some of the best birria tacos around. And you cannot leave without trying the churros. Fresh, warm, and coated in just the right amount of cinnamon sugar, they're the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how churros should be. Overall, Papi Tacos & Churros delivers on flavor, quality, and experience.

They do satiate the sweet tooth cravings, but I wouldn't go out my way for these. Their horchata, on the other hand, is really good (on the pricer end)! They have a few tables and benches inside and a decorative, fun, and vibrant outdoor seating. They're located on the corner of Rosecrans and Pioneer in the Norwalk Town Square plaza so you won't miss it!
