    Custom 2 tier vanilla cake
    Pauline C.

    We did a custom cake order here for my mother in law's 60th birthday party. The GhilaDolci team made ordering so easy and brought our vision to life! I inquired on their website and heard back from them in about 24 hours. They gave us the best price out of all the cake shops in town and executed the design exactly how we envisioned! I'm definitely recommending them to anyone who wants a specialty cake from here on out!

    Best cannoli everrrr.
    Vee L.

    We were in town visiting and saw this bakery on yelp that I wanted to check out. The place is small but very chic- def not like the other establishments we frequented. It was bright, and felt clean. Their bathroom was also very clean. They didnt have a lot to choose from, I think maybe 3 flavors of cookies, fruit tarts and cannolis. I pretty much gave up on cannolis bc each and every one I've ever had has been a soggy mess. The cannolis here are the best I have ever had. The shells are not prefilled. The owner fills it and it's made to order. You can also pick a topping or two to sprinkle on the ends of the cannoli. Chocolate chip and pistachio were the toppings we chose. Ohhh my goooodnessss... the shell was crunchy and the cream inside was delicious, airy and just sweet enough. We had not eaten lunch yet so that is what stopped us from going back to get more. I also got 3 of their chocolate chip cookies, which were good. They are lightly baked so they're not the golden brown variety I'm used to consuming- we ate them no problem. We stopped by 3 different bakeries that morning and this is the one that we'd come back to the next time we're in town.

    Scones!!
    Hannah S.

    Maybe the best scone I've ever had... I cannot wait to go back home and order a Blueberry Lemon scone! The scone is tall, filling and iced. It pops with sweetness while still having a zest of tartness. I'd say they are a yummy morning treat, midday snackaroo or delightful dessert. I had nibbles of one all throughout the day, so I know haha. ;D Will I be back? Yes! I need to actually go into the shop and see what other goodies they offer as these were picked up for my Baby Shower by a hostess. We had about two dozen of the Chocolate Orange and Blueberry Lemon. Both, were fantastic but we had no Blueberry Lemon leftovers.

    Limoncello Tart
    Michelle H.

    The cases were bare at 11:30a on a Thursday!!! Either this was a good thing or a bad thing! My choices were A scone, oatmeal cookie, or Limincello Crème Tart! Winner! The first bite of the tart I was absolutely convinced that they know exactly what they are doing at GhilaDolci and that I will definitely return!

    It was my first time trying GhilaDolci Bakery. It's a small spot near the heart of Downtown Bakersfield. If you blink, you just might miss it. The bakery has parking in the back which is nice. The options change daily. They make small portions to guarantee that everything is always fresh using top of the line ingredients. The business itself is very small on the inside, and again the selections are limited. The staff was friendly and did offer recommendations being that it was my first time and I did not know what to specifically get.

    Cannoli Cookie
    Bess B.

    I'm a huge fan of cannoli and a huge fan of cookies. Okay, I take that back....I'm a HUGE fan of sweets! And this place hits the spot every time. I love how the menu changes, so it keeps me on my toes. But I will say my favorite item from here is the Cannoli Cookie. It tastes just like a cannoli and the cookie is sooo moist and doughy. It's also locally owned, so I do enjoy supporting this small business. Courtney is also very nice and professional. She did my parents' wedding anniversary cake several years ago, and not only did the cake look amazing, but it tasted just as good! If you haven't given Ghiladolci Bakery a try yet, you should soon!

    I had been meaning to try this place for a very long time and I'm super glad it didn't disappoint! The cannoli was delicious, but that orange cran scone was the best. Lady was helpful, cute decor with what seems like personal family photos on the walls.

    Key lime mini tart pie

    It was delicious, not too sweet, worker was super sweet and welcoming, and the place itself was well made and clean.

    GhilaDolci Bakery pies at a wedding

    Just realized we never left a review after using GhilaDolci for our 2022 wedding. We love GhilaDolci Bakery, especially their cookies, so when it came time to decide what to serve our loved ones at our intimate backyard wedding, we knew it had to be from GhilaDolci. The pies were a hit and we loved being about to share our favorite local spot with everyone. We haven't been in awhile so posting this review is a reminder that we need to stop in & grab some goodies soon!

    Very cute bakery. Feels very inviting and clean inside. Courtney is very friendly and welcoming. Omg on her pastries.... Baked fresh and tasty. Love how the menu is posted on instagram ... so you know what they have daily. Very convenient. The cookies are my favorite.... Soft; tasty; chewy; and overall a nice treat.

    This is an adorable bakery in Bakersfield, California. We tried two of their cookies, and they were so delicious and decadent. The size was quite large, and the texture was so soft. I really loved the one with the Biskoff cookie filling. We loved stopping here on our road trip and would definitely go back. I also have to give this place extra bonus points because I left my bag on accident and they were kind enough to reach out to me and hold onto my bag when I returned to pick it up. Thank you so much, definitely highly recommend and would be back to try this place when in the area!!

    This is a quart bag of biscotti

    We were greeted by a friendly face and a smile. She took our biscotti order and said thank you. Not having been here before, we knew we had found a new bakery. The biscotti was picked up a few days later and they are perfectly balanced with anise and almonds. She said it was an old family recipe and we will be returning.

    On our way back home we wanted a little something sweet. Based on the pictures I found I Yelp I wanted to try one of each lol We got cowboy cookies, mocha cookies, pumpkin muffins, and cranberry bliss bar. The cookies were really tasty and baked perfectly, the pumpkin muffins were for sure my favorite. The cranberry bliss bar was a little to sweet for me, It had great flavor a little less sugar would have made a huge dinner. The service was better than expect, the lady behind the counter greeted us as soon as we walked in, she was so friendly. This place was a nice break from our four hour drive, it was nice and quiet. We will make the stop again when we're in the area

I ordered the strawberry cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes and lemon cupcakes with raspberry frosting and filled with raspberry filling. In my opinion they should give information on their website about all the flavors they can do or at least a few flavor idea suggestions, because when I called them to place my order I asked what flavors they offered and she had to name them off one by one and began struggling a bit to remember them all, so it was awkward, time consuming and harder for me to remember everything she was naming this way and just made it harder to decide which ones I wanted to go with... I ended up just randomly picking the first three I remembered her naming. Lol Good picks though ! So all the cupcakes were moist, creamy/velvety and delicious! The frostings were not overly sweet and I thought they were the perfect size too. My only complaint was that the toppings on the strawberry and lemon ones were candy, not a fan of candy and it kinda made them look like they were for kids and they were not. ( Noticed from others pic's that the lemon cupcakes usually have a raspberry on top...) Anyways, excellent prices, great service and delicious cupcakes! Would definitely try them again!

They do may other custom or limited designs throughout the year to keep the cookies fun and seasonal. The frosting is SO good, so sometimes I choose my cookie based off which design uses the most frosting. lol Their pink champagne cake is legendary and a must for anyone hoping to get the full Smith's experience. This is their main location off Union, and is where the magic happens. Smith's has spoiled us by expanding where we can find their cookies such as Sully's gas stations, but I always love when I can come to the main location to soak in the nostalgia. On my most recent visit, 2 lovely ladies helped me out and were kind enough to tell me fun facts about the history of the business. I had such a great time hearing about the hard work which goes in behind the scenes and fun anecdotes. It's always a great time at Smith's. Like I've said before, "I'm not sure who is smiling more.
