I came here today to grab a cupcake for my dad on his birthday. I bought him a lemon and I grabbed cookies and cream. I love cup cakes and it was literally the best cupcake I've ever had. It was so moist with a delicious rich flavor. I'd definitely come back again. I ate it so fast I didn't grab a picture but I took a picture of the lemon flavor read more

We ordered from Doodlecakes for our baby's one years old birthday party. The cake and cupcakes were a hit!! Rebekah from Doodlecakes is great! She will make you anything you want.

This is my second experience with Doodlecakes and they came through yet again. I had a cake and some cupcakes made for my baby shower. The cupcakes were gone quickly and I got so many compliments on the cake! The cake was cookies and cream and the cupcakes were also cookies and cream with a few lemon mixed. Rebecca was very prompt to respond through email about my custom order as I don't live in California anymore. The day of pickup, I was able to come early and everything was packed up and ready to go. I got the opportunity to tell so many friends and family about them that actually live in the Bay Area. You will not be disappointed. read more

I first had the cupcakes from my husband's colleague. I was really amazed that the gluten, dairy and egg free cupcakes were so moist! The frosting were a bit too sweet for my taste but I was really impress with the moisture and how soft it taste. I found out the cupcakes were from this new place in Alameda. So glad there's a place in Alameda that makes gluten free cakes. My husband ordered 2 dozen for a party the next day. I think the gal that brought the cupcakes out is the owner. Very friendly and accommodating for curbside pick up. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely come back and order for parties. I can order online the night before and can pick up at 11am the next day. read more

I ordered a GDE* free custom mini cupcake assortment, and they were SO DELICIOUS AND SO CUTE!! They were for a surprise bday treat, and everyone was shocked that they were gluten, dairy, and egg free. We don't even have gluten restrictions, yet couldn't even tell they were gluten-free. They were sooo tasty!! And almost too cute to eat! You can just tell how much thought and effort goes into the presentation! I didn't know vegan + gluten-free cupcakes could be so amazing!! I ordered the cupcakes via email, and Rebekah was really nice, very accommodating, and had great communication! The cupcakes were delivered by Thomas, who was also very nice! You just get a sense of genuine care and thoughtfulness from the team, which goes such a long way! I'm so excited I found this spot! 11/10 read more

Rebekah and Thomas are a wonderful couple, who run the business together. They offer instagram-worthy custom cakes (all occasions) and their ***amazing cupcakes saved my bacon when I had a birthday party with half the folks needing gluten-free desserts. All my guests raved about these cupcakes! Doodlecakes is the place for cupcakes in Alameda. Hours are 2pm -8pm, open Wed-Sun Best to visit the cheerful Doodlecakes store in person, it is such a boost, and parking is easily across the street in the shopping center.

I wanted to get my bf a delicious birthday treat and found that Doodlecakes just opened up near me! I was so excited and couldn't stop thinking about what to order. There's street parking in front and it's pretty easy to find one nearby. Upon entering, I noticed how cute the decor was in the store! It's a very cute spot and there's outdoor seating. The bakery items were very fairly priced! I ordered a vanilla matcha cupcake, green velvet cupcake and the chocolate hazelnut cake jar. My bf loved the treats I got him and we both admired at how pretty the goodies were. We each tried all the items and agreed on how delicious these sweet treats were. I never eat frosting or icing on cakes but I ate all the frosting on the cupcakes! I was shocked but they were so good. The cake was moist and flavorful, we both loved the vanilla matcha. I can't wait to come back and try other flavors! read more

I came across Doodlecakes in an Alameda Facebook group post, and I'm so glad I did! I asked Rebekah for a custom Skyline Chili cake for my friend's birthday, and was amazed to see she achieved EXACTLY what I was imagining! My friend was blown away when they saw it :) There were many tempting flavors for a custom cake! After hearing recommendations from Rebekah about what would work best for the design (she clearly knows what she's doing), I ordered a vanilla cake with a mix of vanilla/cream cheese frosting, and whipped cream filling with fresh strawberries and blueberries. The cake was absolutely delicious--everyone at the party raved about how it was moist with the perfect level of sweetness. Doodlecakes was very communicative about the delivery as well! I was texted about any delays, and called to ensure the cake made it to me safely after I asked a housemate to receive it for me. All in all, it was easy and a pleasure to work with Doodlecakes on a custom order. I paid $110 for my 6" custom cake + delivery + tax, and it was well worth it! I'll definitely be coming back to Doodlecakes and sending my friends their way for any custom cake needs :) read more

We stopped by for a sweet treat and everything looked AMAZING! So we had to order it all The team was so kind and patient when my son was indecisive- and we just LOVED that they had gf/Vegan options for him! He usually only has one thing he can have when we go places, so he was so excited to be able to choose from a variety of flavors! The flavor profile in everything we've tried so far has been absolutely amazing- the peaches and cream had the perfect balance and was definitely a favorite! I highly recommend you stop in- this will quickly become a go to! We will definitely be placing a customer cake order for upcoming birthdays read more

Discovered this bakery while I was walking down Webster for lunch and kept it in mind for when I need to order some goodies for an event. I checked out the website and I was happy to see that you're able to pre-order online the night before and pickup at 11AM the next morning. I ordered a dozen cupcakes, and added a special request for individual packaging since my workplace still doesn't allow sharing food. They were accommodating, and I was very happy with the pickup process. Though it was a quick stop for me, the workers promptly greeted me and were friendly. I was able to try the Oreo cupcake and the texture of the cupcake surprised me. It's a bit hard to explain but it reminded me a bit of cookie dough. Flavors were great and the frosting wasn't overly sweet or overpowering. The cupcakes are so cute too. I'd like to try their other flavors in the future and maybe order a specialty cake as well. read more

Doodlecakes - Dozen cupcakes of the day. 2 flavors each- lemon, chocolate, red velvet, Oreo, ube, carrot - Bakeries Near Me - Alameda, California

I found Rebekah and her team during the holidays when we were frantically trying to find someone to make us a gender reveal cake and we only had a 3 day window when our families would be together so it was a quick turnaround. Rebekah was so sweet and fast replying! She got us a lunch box cake which was perfect for our gender reveal. Then for our baby shower, we reached out to our "family baker" aka Rebekah to make the cutest Noah's Ark cake and cupcakes (topper was from Amazon). I really appreciate how Rebekah and crew makes you feel like family and treats you as such. Any events we have will always include Doodlecakes :) read more

I sent my husband to go check out this place during their soft opening and there were only cake slices available when he went. They had told him that if he wanted cupcakes, it would be a 30 minute wait. Since I love strawberry cake, I had him get that cake slice for me. Each slice was $7.50 which I thought was a bit overpriced. Although the cake looked moist, it was actually a bit dry and crumbly. They might have pre-sliced them and had them sitting in those take out containers as seen in the pic. That probably contributed to it being dry. The cake itself wasn't sweet but the frosting was sweet so they balanced each other out. Decided to come again on a Friday after their Grand Opening already happened. I wanted to treat my 9 year old daughter to a treat to celebrate the end of the week. We got there about 6p and there were only cupcakes available but not much of a selection left. We ended up getting 2 chocolate and one red velvet at $3.25 each. It's the size of a standard cupcake. When my daughter ate her chocolate cupcake she said "this cupcake is dry. It's not moist" and then got herself a class of milk to dip her cupcake in. She did like the mini chocolate chips in the frosting through. I felt the same way about the red velvet one. It tasted like maybe they were day old and kept in the fridge overnight...then frosted the next day. I've seen other reviews show some peaches and cream cake jars and one day I'd like to try that since I love peach anything. It's all street parking but there was nothing out front so we ended up parking at the Neptune Plaza's lot across the street. read more

This review is long overdue! This shop has been my number one cake shop for the last 2 years. The owners are so sweet and Rebekah responds so fast and has even taken a custom order with only a weeks notice! The service is amazing, genuine and thoughtful. They go out of there way to create exactly what you want. The cakes not only look beautiful, they are moist and flavors are so good! They really take the time to create amazing custom cakes. I won't go anywhere else. Plus the shop is so cute and holds memories for me of when my daughter use to work there when it was Cookiebar, back when she was in high school. read more

I have been remiss and not posting a review sooner than this. My granddaughter and I have been customers of Doodlecakes since they opened their shop here in Alameda. Beyond the cupcakes being tasty treats, the owners of this darling little shop are truly the best humans. They both go above and beyond to accommodate any needs or designs you desire. Just follow them on Instagram and you will see one beautifully designed cake after the other in their feed. I highly recommend you go in and say hello to Rebekah and Thomas and I promise you that you will be treated with genuine customer service sprinkled with a whole lot of kindness and passion for what they do. xo GiGi and Maya read more

Doodlecakes - Daughters birthday cake - Bakeries Near Me - Alameda, California

Wasn't quite sure what to expect before visiting as a result of the mixed reviews (some of which seem to be unreasonable people wanting free compensation for something silly), but definitely worth a try especially as a new blooming business. Unfortunately the head baker/business owner was out of town the weekend I came to try but rather than closing, the family of the head baker (husband, brothers, fathers etc.) had an event where the men all run the bakery for the weekend. Though the decorating skills weren't top tier, but it was great to see all their efforts and creativities showcased with the recipes of the head baker. The flavors were awesome and I can tell the head baker has taken constructive criticism from the patrons and made corrections/adjustments to some of the cupcakes and flavors. AND there are gluten-free and vegan options available. I look forward to coming back when the head baker is back....and maybe even the next event when she's gone. read more

Give me cupcakes! Nom nom. If you need cupcakes that are moist, look good and taste good you need to run not walk to Doodlecakes! Get there before they sellout again. I tried the chocolate, lemon, a other one (I forgot) and the cinnamon roll. I didn't eat them all, I just tasted them. The cinnamon roll is my favorite so far. I only wish it were bigger. The crazy part is that I was supposed to freeze three and eat only the 4th one. Ahh, we ate them all because they were so good. I like how the lemon one had a drop of real tart lemon filling on the top. That made it stand out. Go and get some cupcakes then head over to the beach to walk off the calories. The owners are cool and friendly. If you stop by, tell them I sent you :) read more

Cute little downtown shop with great decorations! My family enjoys eating the custom made cakes and cupcakes, and I love visiting the bakery. They occasionally have special events, like a parade on July 4 and a gaming tournament. My favorite flavors are ube, apple, and cookies and cream. Rebekah always provides the best service. read more

Today was this bakery's 3-year celebration so I stopped in to check out the festivities. Wow, the owners are incredibly imaginative - they had a human "slot machine." I was so happy to win 6 cupcakes since their quality is so high and not readily matched in this area. I tried a sort of cupcake parfait creation with chocolate cake, decadent icing and a hazel nut topping. WOW! Maybe one of the best desserts I have ever eaten, absolutely scrumptious. The owners are extremely cordial folks as is their staff. It is a very cheerful and welcoming place. You probably won't get to see them in their celebratory hippo purple vests and bow ties as the anniversary ends this evening. But don't let that stop you trying their cakes, cupcakes & cake parfaits - you won't be disappointed. read more

Love this place so much ! The cakes tasted amazing and the couple who owns it are so wonderful and kind. Five stars all the way

I have been meaning to check out this place for a while! I initially wanted to get a custom cake here but decided to try it first. They have a great selection of cupcakes and cakes. Everything looked so delectable! I decided to try the jar (cookies and strawberry) and they both were a taste of heaven! read more

Awesome cupcakes! Dropped by this morning, hoping to buy cupcakes for last minute birthday party plans later today. They did not disappoint - 12 flavors in two different sizes (some were unusual), half of the flavors were vegan & gluten free (so delicious). They even had little candles, cupcake signs, cards and napkins - prepared for the last minute planners. We got the minis and they were moist and delectable! Highly recommend. read more

An auspicious shot in the dark! On the day of my son's 24th Birthday I was in search of some vegan cupcake options and whoolaaa! Out of the ethers and the webs emerged a beacon of hope and possibility. Within 45 min of ordering the cupcakes showed up at my front door!

The had red velvet, winter wonderland & orange cranberry. Oh my, it was really good. Their creativity shines for sure. The names, the decor & plating/presentation (for lack of a better word, is that a thing in baking?) was pleasing. Wanted to rush order something for New Years when I came, but it was too close (27th), so they denied me which was nice. I appreciated the direct, respectful honesty. Definitely demonstrates integrity and superb customer service. I will stop again for sure if I am in Alameda, looking forward to what creations they will have in store by then. read more

Cupcakes and mini [lunchbox] cakes have all been really good. Our fave flavors are chocolate on chocolate or cookies and cream. Love that they offer gluten, dairy and egg free options as well! Not just one, but a few. And yes, it tastes as good as it looks! Perfect sweetness and moisture, even after being in the fridge and/or out for the day. Mini cupcakes are the perfect bite size cupcakes for those who do not want a whole cupcake (although my nephew prefers the regular sized ones). Rebekah and team has been so kind and responsive. Currently my go to bakery (= read more

Cupcakes are amazing super soft and not too sweet! My favorite is the ube cupcake, flavor is on point and the icing has just the right sweetness and still has the gentle ube flavor.

I've tried almost every cupcake place in Oakland or alameda. I wanted to try this place because it looked so cute and is new, the cupcakes and cakes are decorated well. As far as flavor, this is my review. Vanilla matcha was the best, the icing isn't to sweet and it's light and moist. The chocolate cupcake was the worst, it had a very odd flavor and I love chocolate. The Oreo cupcake (non vegan) was very dry and dense, the icing also was to sweet. I'm not sure if all the cupcakes are baked fresh but only the vanilla tasted fresh, the rest including the icing tasted like they've been stored in a fridge for a few days. read more

PLEASE NOTE NEW HRS, which apparently just changed. We came after lunch on a Friday, but fortunately arrived 10 min. before 2p, so we didn't have to wait long. Please note the storefront is very tiny, and only 2 people (with masks) are currently allowed in at a time. Only cupcakes and four types of cookies were available. No other cakes or pastries. There was a good selection of different cupcakes, with cute/humorous names, very attractively frosted and decorated. I didn't count exactly how many varieties, but I'd guess about 10 different kinds, so you can probably find a couple of flavors to try. Spouse got a chocolate and I got a vanilla cupcake. Both cakes were moist; the vanilla noticeably denser than the chocolate. The vanilla cake was good, but the chocolate tasted like cocoa but without any sugar added, so the chocolate flavor didn't really come out and was flat-tasting. Frostings were very sweet; the chocolate had a nice well-balanced flavor. I appreciated the big ripe strawberry on top of my vanilla frosting; it added some welcome acidity. Spouse got a chocolate chip cookie. We like soft cookies, but this is relatively thin and you are warned, they are very fragile. We put them in a bag from the car and the cookie broke up a bit by the time we got back home. Doesn't affect the flavor, but if appearance matters, bring or ask for a box! I also got one of the lemon bars, which are cut into small squares and packed in pairs, one atop the other, in cute little plastic boxes. I found them on the sweet side, so Spouse finished the second one. read more

We tried the new neighborhood cake shop tonight for my daughter's Birthday. We ordered Vanilla cake with matcha and whipped cream filling. It was DELICIOUS! There are 5 of us and 3 are super picky- we all loved it! The cake had a delicious vanilla flavor and the matcha was perfect with the whipped cream. I am glad we got the larger 6" size so we have leftovers and I can pass some slices around to friends tomorrow. It was decorated nicely with cute sprinkles, and my daughter was so happy with her birthday dessert tonight. The customer service was prompt and patient and they worked with us when we had to change our order up. Thank you Rebekah! We will definitely be coming back!! read more
