    Overdue review but needed! We had Eva do our wedding cake and a year later we had the frozen piece we saved and it was still as good as ever! We got the strawberry guava for one layer and lemon almond for the other. The buttercream was amazing and flavors perfect. I still am told by friends that it was the best cake they had. Definitely buy here.

    Cute little local bakery. Love the butter cream cake here. They always have a lot of flavor to choose from. Other than the cake i don't love other things and they really don't have much to choose from. I ordered a petite size cake for my anniversary. It just comes plain when you order. They can't do frosting or anything else beside writting letters on top unless you special order on the website or something. I got some flowers to put on top so it looks less plain. I like the cake here but i found there is less buttercream when you get a whole cake vs when you get the cake cup and that's my favorite part, and what make this bakery stands out from other. The cake is moist and not too sweet. I would get some cake cup here when i crave buttercream cake but not sure about ordering for a special occasion or something.

    That focaccia is so good. I can't even get over it. I am an Italian descent and I know quite a bit about bread and focaccia and you have the golden touch. The dough is divine on its own and you have just the right amount of sea salt to really bring out the delicate flavors. I love that touch. I believe you must use a high-quality olive oil as well. Anyway, Yum! and thanks! The only thing I didn't like about the cake is I wish I would have ordered a bigger size. It was so good. The cake itself was so delicate and moist. The blackberry compote was absolutely decadent in it's richness and a wonderful pairing with the light and fluffy white cake.

    At long last, I have found a craveable cinnamon roll! (Why are they so hard to find?) The cream cheese icing is well-balanced, tangy, and not too sweet. I will definitely return for one of these brioche cinnamon rolls in the near future. Note: they are currently only available on Saturday and Sunday. I also picked up a chocolate chip cookie for my daughter and a walnut chocolate chip cookie for my husband. They both gave the cookies rave reviews. Glad to have Full Belly Bakery in the vicinity and look forward to returning one weekend soon.

    Mother's Day special Petite cake size

    Last minute find for Mother's Day. The cake was super cute with yellow and pinkish buttercream flowers. I didn't actually get to taste it though. It was a bit pricey for such a small cake but it was a gift for MIL. What I did like was their mini lemon meringue tart. It was absolutely delicious and well priced!

    Cute pastry shop conveniently located across from the Safeway in Montclair. Not open on Monday and Tuesday. A variety of different options including rolls and pastry. Now serving coffee so grab breakfast and walk around the village. The pies are excellent and my favorite is the key lime pie. Pre-order for special occasions. Staff is friendly and helpful as it is hard to choose. Support a local baker who was born and raised in Oakland.

    We really enjoyed working with Eva at Full Belly Bakery to create our wedding cake! From initial discussions to the day-of, Eva was super helpful in helping us figure out what kind of cake would be best suited for our wedding given our tastes, guest count, and budget. She also worked seamlessly with our florist and coordinator to make sure that the cake was delivered on time and also decorated beautifully with flowers from our florist. We had many guests comment on how delicious our strawberry guava cake was, including from folks who don't usually like desserts. We love that we'll be able to go visit Full Belly Bakery and have a slice of our wedding cake again!

    New bakery in town! Located in the busy Montclair Village where the old Subway Sandwich establishment use to be. Parking is not easily found but a nice walk through the village is always great! The ambiance is trendy, small and casual. I walked in this weekend for the first time & was looking for a yummy cake to feed 14-16 people. Unfortunately they do not have pre-made cakes but I absolutely appreciated them offering to make one with a turn around of 2-3 hours. Any other establishment would have said "no we don't have any and we also can't do it" ...and would have just let the customer walk out the door to bring business elsewhere. So for this I admire their hustle. I was thrilled! I picked the 14-16 person guava, vanilla cake (tall) for $84.00 . I did not receive a call to let me know it was ready BUT they are very punctual and had my cake ready by the time we had a greed on/ the moment I picked it up. To my surprise the size of the cake is so small for 14-16 people although the cakes have tall size options, i was just amazed. I come from a family of cake lovers and was super bummed and worried this wouldn't be enough cake! So I had to run to Lucky's and just get a cheap 14 person Oreo cake to compensate from not having enough. I guess this cake is meant to be eaten in very very small pieces, they even include a card with their cakes on how to "maximize" your cake lol. You basically have to cut your cakes halfway point and give your guest the bottom part, while others get the top part with all of the writing and jelly on top. The taste was VERY sweet - someone went way too heavy on the sugar!!! The butter cream is too thick and it's obvious you're consuming butter. My family has a sweet tooth & everyone was amazed at how small the pieces were but mostly how sweet the cake was compared to the cheap Oreo cake... the Oreo cake was less sweet. I couldn't believe it. I really thought this was going to be an amazing cake and I wanted myself and family to be amazed but it just didn't happen with this one. Especially after the amazing customer service I experienced when I walked in. The price, the size, the sugar .. it just wasn't it. And I'm so bummed I won't purchase another cake from my local bakery. It was too expensive for such a mediocre experience. see attached picture for size reference. I will though purchase their focaccia and cinnamon rolls! The samples tasted heavenly! Which is why i was even more bummed about the cake.

    Today I had the pleasure of meeting Eva and tasting a few of her signature desserts and wow! I cannot wait for my moms birthday so I can order a full size Caramel Pecan Carrot cake. The cake jar was a good treat but I need bigger and MORE!!! Update: I went home and warmed the Carrot cake and the cookie up.... 10/10 highly recommend!!!

    Not only beautiful but delicious!

    When I arrived to the venue to see the cake that Eva created I was in total AWE! It was so stunning (photo attached). And delicious. All the guests were raving. To top it off, she's just an all together good soul, really easy to work with, very accommodating. I highly recommend working with her and Full Belly Bakery. Thank you!

The designs for their cakes are that simplistic beauty that stands on its own. It's a very elevated look. The price point is on the higher end. Current flavor offerings are: lychee raspberry, brown butter/lemon, hazelnut/chocolate, double chocolate, and cookies and cream. You can walk in and purchase a slice for around $10.00. The offerings are whatever they have available. Lovely staff and a lovely experience.

Even so, they were refreshing that pastry case so that I was not without options. So many amazing-looking things, so I got 3 things just for myself: Chocolate Banana Almond Croissant $5.25: The classic, I had to try. And it was so good!! I thought it might be too rich, but I actually found it to be quite balanced. I loved the fresh mashed banana/banana purée inside, and it went really well with the chocolate. I didn't get a ton of almond flavor comparatively, but I appreciated the coating on the top for a heartier crunch in addition to the croissant flakiness. Like everyone else, I would definitely recommend this one! Passionfruit Bostock $4.25: The staff person helping me told me this was a good option, so I was happy about that. I would agree! It has a beautiful crisp on the outside and a moist crumb inside. The passionfruit flavor was really nice and not too strong. I believe they rotate different flavors of this one, so I'd definitely want to try more. Bostocks on the whole are underrated, and I think they have just the loveliest texture. All-in-One Cake: This is so creative. I was going to stop at the above two pastries, but when the staff person said that this cake was quite literally made up of all the other cakes seen in the case, I was already sold. How cool and creative and reduce-reuse-recycle is that!!!?? I love! And it was such a fun eat! I love how they added crust at the bottom and a gorgeous chocolate layer on top to tie everything together. And every bite was a little different: some fruity, some nutty, some crunchier. Super cool. I was able to nab a table and work a little bit, which was nice. It's a good vibe inside with a little hustle and bustle, but still cozy overall. I'll be back!

    Liked this place a lot, also appreciated the extreme variety of things available (especially…read morecompared to some of my other favorite bakeries like Arsicault). Definitely go early to get everything fresh, but you probably won't run into a line if you don't. Highlight of the menu was absolutely the kouign amann - it was so buttery and flaky with this caramelized sticky sweet inside, rivaled in my eyes only by the Arsicault one. We also got the seasonal one (raspberry and guava) which was also really good. The passion fruit bostock was also interesting with this spongy cakey texture with an almond topping. The banana chocolate almond croissant was another favorite of mine, it's also such a unique item and definitely a must order. We sat inside at a table so we could eat some of the pastries right away which I highly recommend - everything lost freshness after a few hours and I probably wouldn't get anything from here again with the intention of eating it later. They have a ton of cakes too, tried the chocolate mousse cake, the berry cake, and the passionfruit orange and guava cake. The chocolate mousse was my favorite and runs on the sweeter side compared to other chocolate mousse's I've had. The other two are also amazing and have a bunch of different layers. I also tried the prosciutto burrata and cherry tomato tartine - an open faced sandwich basically - which tasted good but was kind of difficult to eat, either with hands or fork and knife. Would definitely come here again both because what I tried was so good and there are so many other things there I'd want to try.
