As Persians, we are practically born with a PhD in finding something to complain about: the tea isn't hot enough, the rice isn't crispy enough, or the fruit isn't sweet enough. 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. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! The cakes and pastries were beyond anything I could have imagined. Every single piece was stunningly beautiful and looked like a work of art, but what impressed us even more was how incredibly delicious everything tasted. Our guests couldn't stop talking about them! Beyond her amazing talent, she was such a joy to work with throughout the entire process. She was so kind, warm, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our vision come to life. She exceeded every expectation and created a dessert display that was even more beautiful than I had dreamed of. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a talented baker who creates both breathtaking and unforgettable desserts. She made our wedding day even more special, and I'm so grateful we chose her! read more

Let me start by saying... these are not their usual cream puffs. This was a special order for a girls' night, and let's just say they definitely got people talking. 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! read more

I've been coming to C'est Si Bon Bakery for about 3+ years now, and they've been our go-to spot for all of our daughters' birthday cakes. We've had them make Elmo, Cookie Monster, Woody from Toy Story, and Jessie and many more. Every single one turned out awesome. The cakes always look amazing and taste just as good. Honestly, this is hands-down the best place I've been to for custom cakes. Their attention to detail on the designs is next level, and they never disappoint. Ordering is super easy you can bring in a design idea or they'll help you figure one out, pick a date, pay, and that's it. When pickup day comes, the cake is ready to go and looks perfect every time. We've ordered at least six custom cakes from here and have never had a single issue. The staff is friendly and you can tell they take pride in their work. I usually grab a cookie or cupcake when I'm picking up the cakes, and those are always great too. If you need a cake that's going to wow people and taste great, this is the place. Can't recommend C'est Si Bon Bakery enough. read more

Pick up is a breeze. Thank you read more

The Long Dubai FKA "Dream Bakery" that underwent an ownership and name change back in 2007. They have been a cornerstone bakery in the Cambrian neighborhood since, and specialize in Persian baked goods, as well as the usual cavalcade of other baked goods. I'm not one to get caught up in internet hype, but the Dubai chocolate thing had me curious. Probably because I'm a fat ass, but also the flavor of chocolate, pistachio butter, and crunchy knafeh had me intrigued. Luckily a fellow Yelper put me onto CSB's offerings, and I had to try it out. Beyond the usual chocolate bar, CSB offers up Dubai cocoa chip cookies and a Dubai Chocolate cake. I snagged a bar and a few cookies to take home and they were both delicious. The bar has good flavor, but I wouldn't have minded more of a crunch. The cookie, however, was perfection. Crunchy, great flavor, and a surprise pistachio filling on the inside. Highly recommended. The staff is friendly and there's a large parking lot so that should never be an issue. Be warned it ain't cheap, but I'm coming back for that cake. :8) read more

Very nice bakery that has burnt almond cakes! As an added bonus, they also have some very good vegan chocolate chip cookies that my lactose free family and I really enjoyed. Great staff, really kind, and when I went they were taking donations for cakes for children battling cancer. Really great place, will be back. read more

I ordered with CSB this year for my daughter's 6th birthday party because I knew they'd get the cake just right. The theme wasn't as mainstream as some others I've seen, but I trust them to ensure the accuracy of all the characters and they certainly delivered!! They were even able to have just the characters in fondant and the cake in buttercream(we don't usually like to have too much fondant on the cake itself). We had a Numberblocks themed birthday because my daughter absolutely loves this show. It was harder to find decor and goodies for this theme, but I knew I didn't have to worry about the cake. It turned out beautiful and all of my guests were in awe of the design and the cake flavor(my daughter loves banana) thank you again for the loveliest cake, CSB! read more

I have been getting my cakes from C'est Si Bon Bakery for a few years and they have never failed. I ordered a cake for my nephews graduation and they did a fantastic job, from the detail to the flavor. The cake was red velvet with vanilla custard, was a complete hit at the celebration. Nothing but positive feedback from family and friends. Super moist and delicious. read more

The pies are amazing, and I'm not even really a pie person! So I haven't physically been to this bakery but my niece brought us the peach and the whisky pecan pie for thanksgiving. I'm very picky about pie especially pecan because most places skimp on the pecans and add way too much sugar. Not here! It's full of pecans and with an added delightful twist, they have little chunks of chocolate in there which along with the whisky, make this the absolute BEST pecan pie I've ever had. The crust of both pies are also fabulous, nice and buttery yet thick and crisp. Pair the pecan pie with a nice strong cappuccino and you'll be in heaven! The peaches are fresh tasting with a bit of firmness and crunch and I love that the peach pie is not too sweet at all. I wish we had this bakery close by to where I live, or do I? I feel like I'd be quite chubby eating all these goodies. We're still slowly working on the pies to make them last :) Delish! read more

I guess I'm in my custom cake era. I love how C'est Si Bon makes it so easy to come up with the perfect idea using their online ordering and responsive emailing systems. We've gotten beautiful results every time we've ordered from here, from small or large birthday cakes to custom cupcakes. Found them on Yelp a few years back and am happy to add to their collection of well-deserved and glowing reviews. I highly recommend the marble cake as a base, which is a delicious balance of sweetnesss and richness without being too overwhelming. Have tried marble a couple of times with different filling and frosting flavor combinations- my favorite was the raspberry filling with chocolate buttercream frosting. Their website walks you through the options in a clear and helpful way. I know I keep mentioning their online presence, but the fact that it's so streamlined and accessible really makes a huge difference. I've loved visiting their website and learning how the owners have been baking Persian sweets across the world for years. Give this bakery a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

C'est Si Bon Bakery - Custom birthday cake, November 2025 - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

Ordered a storefront cake from doordash as the website suggested. I imagined a storefront cake would be impossible to mistake as it isn't custom in anyway, AND costs extra compared to other cakes. Somehow the mistook their burnt almond cake for the Dubai chocolate which is what we ordered. By the time we checked the store was already closed and at that point there was nothing we could do; birthday was ruined. read more

I have been wanting to try a Dubai chocolate bar for the past 6 months so we went to C'est Si Bon Bakery to finally try it! We went on a Saturday around 11am and it was not busy. The ambiance of the store is nice and there were a lot of beautifully decorated desserts on display. Dubai Chocolate Bar (3/5): At $10 dollars, it felt pricey, but I wanted to see what all the hype was about. The chocolate bar is not that big and there are 5 break off pieces so essentially each piece is $2 which felt steep. There is a good amount of filling and I could taste the crunchy pistachio. It tasted good but I didn't find it unique. I'm glad I got to try the Dubai Chocolate Bar but I didn't think it was worth $10. It was smaller than I expected and it tasted like a regular chocolate bar with a slight pistachio flavor. I would consider coming back to try the cakes as they looked appealing read more

The eclair was perfect. The filling was amazing. The coffee was the best accompaniment. The service was courteous.

I love this pastry shop because their pastries are absolutely delicious. However, I'm frustrated with their hours--they don't have a consistent schedule. Even when they're inside the shop, they often refuse to assist customers. read more

I ordered 3 cupcakes and one lemon meringue tart. When I asked the lady how fresh the cupcakes were, she responded with, when they finished in the display case they make more. On average 5-7 days! Worth noting these were $5 a cupcake. The burnt almond cupcake - 2/5. The frosting was nice but the cake was stale. I threw this one away. The biscoff cupcake - 3/5. The frosting was ok, standard. The cake was delicious and moist. The strawberry milkshake - 0/5. The frosting was too sweet and the cake was very stale. I threw this one away. The lemon meringue filling was nice and tart, but the tart shell was soft and fell apart. I wouldn't come back to this bakery for any cupcakes. read more

Just celebrated my son's 30th. We had a red velvet cake with a custom design. The cake taste was incredible but, no surprise there since I've never tasted cakes or cookies that were not incredibly delicious. The cake also looked absolutely perfect and realistic. What a huge hit for picky young professionals. Thank you again for adding delicious sweetness to our party. read more

This review is for the $10 Dubai Chocolate Bar. I heard so much of the viral chocolate bar from Dubai or "Can't Get Knafeh of It" chocolate bar. It's a combo of super crispy Kataifi Pastry (shredded pyllo dough). mixed with pistachio butter spread and tahini. The top of the bar can have designs of colored chocolate ribbons or even edible gold flakes. When doing a Yelp search, I discovered CSB offered Dubai chocolate bars. By reading a few reviews here, I thought it'd give it a try. At the time, their were 2 reviews: a 5 star and a 1 star. So after watching YouTube and TikTok, I became more familiar with this viral delight. The chocolate bar was much smaller than I thought. I think it was milk chocolate based with white chocolate threads on the top as the design element. It had 5 snap off pieces. The filling had a thin layer of bright green pistachios poking out (as oppose to the thick versions in the Google world). I tasted a light delicious pistachio flavor, but no sesame seed taste (tahini). I can't say it was super crunchy from the phyllo dough (kataifi) as the chocolate gave a snappy crunch, but I'll say visually one can see the shreds. This crunch is the highlight of this viral sensation and just craved a more substantial crunch factor. However, if it was twice as big with more filling (which would provide that crunch it's known for), I'd pay the $10. Here are several pics in the plastic sleeve, out of the sleeve and pics once snapped. read more

We ordered 6 cupcakes. Spent $30. The cupcakes nicely decorated but tasted quite stale-definitely not fresh. At $5 per cupcake we expected much more. Perhaps the great reviews on yelp are for the custom cake. Definitely will not be coming back. read more

We ordered two cakes from C'est Si Bon Bakery, our small wedding ceremony cake (Dubai Chocolate) and a three level wedding reception cake (Dubai, Banana cream and Ube) (we had two cakes because we were married in a different location than the reception) - cake tasted amazing and the cake design was exactly what my wife wanted. We had many compliments on the cakes from guests. We had gone on a cake tasting test throughout the South Bay (my Mom found this place) - the flavors were by far the best we tasted (of the places we went to) and they were also flexible and willing to work with what we wanted as far as cake flavors and the design of the cake (other places were not at all). If you look at their site you'll see they have made some very artistic and imaginative cakes! We highly recommend them! read more

C'est Si Bon provided the cake for our wedding at Nestldown. Every layer can be made with a different flavor (we made the top layer completely vegan). C'est Si Bon also delivered to Nestldown and set up the cake for a small fee. Honestly, I cannot recall how it tasted the day of the wedding, but my husband and I did eat leftovers for a week (our cake design was expected to have ~20 extra portions) and the cake remained moist and delicious! read more

Had there almond marble cake and it was delicious! First time here and close to home which is nice. Yummy way to celebrate a birthday!

Our coworker brought pastries into the office. I assume that they were purchased in the morning and brought to us around 10 AM. I ate the chocolate croissant and regular croissant the next day. I was pleasantly surprised with how soft and flaky both pastries were. The perfect amount of chocolate in the croissant. My coworkers really enjoyed the other pastries that had banana, etc. I will come by myself next time to grab a fresh pastry. So good and will definitely get more. read more

Cakes: 5 stars Decorating and taste: 5 stars Dessert Bar: 5 stars Kid's Classes: 2 stars Please know that the three star rating is in regards to the kid's classes offered. If you are looking for a well designed cake then please proceed with your order. This bakery has been our family bakery for 10 years now, ever since my daughter's first birthday. After her first birthday 10 years ago, I've used only this bakery for our birthdays, sleepovers, anniversaries, holidays, basically anytime you can eat cake - I'd go here! Our family has spent over $2,000.00 at this bakery in the past twelve months celebrating our various events - $200 of which was this past week alone! The decorators do a great job with executing my ideas. Sometimes I don't know what I want and will give the bakery "keywords" and they will come out with some great designs. Our birthday parties are always a hit and everyone tells me they can't wait to see what cake we've come up with next! Frequently after inviting someone to a party I'll hear, "Oh will you have some of that cake there?" "Okay, I'm in then". Last year, they introduced the dessert bar and I will cater their dessert bar for all my daughter's sleepovers or movie nights with friends. The kids love sneaking treats after the adults go to sleep and honestly I order extra mousse cups just for me, too, haha! They are so good especially when they are still frozen. I order the dipped rice krispies for myself! I'm addicted to those so much. They used to release cookie decorating kits and those were so much fun for events and sleepovers. I wish they'd bring those back. I think they may have been an item to help boost sales during Covid shut downs but they were a great activity. Last year, they introduced their kid's decorating classes and we try to enroll our daughter in most of those, too. She did break her arm last year so she did have to miss a few but for the most part we sign her up for each class. Imagine my surprise when during this most recent class, my husband is pulled aside at pick up to discuss our daughter's participation in the decorating class. We were informed that there has been an ongoing issue with our child wanting to decorate her items using her own creative vision; however, the instructor told my husband this is her class and the cupcakes and treats will decorated her way. Just wow. My mind was blown when I heard that. Cest Si Bon of all places should know cake decorating is an art form and a wonderful way to show creativity. I spoke with my child and she said she was interested in tweaking some things for her treats such as using different colors and it didn't seem like it was that bad. My child did tell me towards the end of class she was afraid to ask to shape her rice krispie treat into another shape. Instead of having such a strict outlook on the class agenda, perhaps there should be a freeform class where students are encouraged to show their artistic side. That seems like it would bring in revenue. Perhaps even a cake decorating class for adults which I personally would have joined. Either way, after that discussion, I am no longer comfortable enrolling my child in these classes nor am I comfortable leaving my child with an adult who is an artist by day but doesn't support artistic children. Who knows what has been going on while I was waiting for class to be over. I think Cest Si Bon and our family will take a short break from each other after I pick up the pie I just ordered before this happened. Looks like I will grab a Costco birthday cake and treats for her birthday sleepover in a few weeks while I simmer. read more
