I hate that you can get delivery........ 5 Stars alone for the honey cake. Damm it's delightful. The vanilla cone was also crazy good. Ugh l, now I want to go back. Good things in too far away to put in an additional order. I wouldn't order tbe other things in the box again but they weren't bad- just not as flavorful as my favorites. Can't wait to try them again. read more

Thank you for your response. I appreciate that you took the time to reply, but I believe your response misses the main issue. Good business etiquette is simple: when a business makes a mistake, it should acknowledge it, correct it immediately, sincerely apologize to the customer, and ensure the customer leaves satisfied. That builds trust and demonstrates accountability. Instead, much of your response focuses on explaining that the price tag may have been moved accidentally by staff or customers. Those are explanations, not accountability. This was one of the last two pieces left in the display, and the incorrect price tag should have been noticed well before my purchase. As I also stated in my response to the Agricultural Commissioner of Weights & Measures Inspector, I am almost certain that after I shared my experience and reviews on social media, the pricing discrepancies would have been already corrected. If that is the case, I genuinely hope those changes help make sure future customers are charged accurately and fairly. Regarding the Kyiv cake, my concern is relatively minimal compared to the pricing issue. It simply did not taste as good as it used to. It lacked the freshness and flavor we had previously enjoyed, and it tasted somewhat stale. This is the least of my concern. What concerns me most is the lack of accountability. Businesses earn customer loyalty by owning their mistakes, not by offering explanations for why they may have happened. A sincere apology, immediate correction and a commitment to making things right would have been a much more appropriate response. read more

What better way to say happy new year's eve and ring in the new year than with the most delectable cakes on the East side? The cream puff, the eclair, and the chocolate cakes were all delectable. I couldn't stop eating and the assorted box brought in for my team was a temptation I kept circling back to especially after a 30 hour long call. The cakes were so good I found myself walking around the hospital with cake crumbs smeared across my chin and not a single part of me could feel anything but pure bliss- 10/10 for the most lovely cakes I've had a chance to indulge in. And, these sweet treats were essential for helping me stay awake at the tail end of the call period, I had beeb fighting to stay awake and then the sugar rush hit. Thanks to my kind colleague and Karina's cake house for this awesome discovery of a grand dessert place on NYE! Thanks 2025, grateful for all the food memories of this year, and I look forward to ringing in the new year with our awesome Yelp community! read more

This bakery is FIRE!!! Everything I've tried there is delicious! But my all time favs are the almond cookies with and without filling, the meringue cookies - very sweet but melts in your mouth and my all time is the Kievsky (not sure if I spelled that right) cake. I asked every time if they sell if per slice but you can only get it in whole cake form. Its a tiny bakery in Glendale with very limited parking but luckily there is street parking available. If you're in the area, try it out. read more

Karina's ALWAYS hits the mark! This bake shop has been making our family's birthday cakes & goodies since they graced us with their delectable treats over 2 decades ago! They are all so sweet & personable, whether you're ordering on the phone or in person. The cake shop is often bustling with happy sounds, friendly & excited voices, & tantalizing aroma. They clearly take pride in what they deliver & present beautiful, deeelicious pastries. Heck, I live in OC & I still make sure to get my reeaally special/ important items from Karina's. They have lifelong fans/ customers right here! read more

I ordered this custom cake with kievsky walnut filling and I was extremely pleased. Gohar perfected the design I requested and the cake itself was delicious.

If you're looking for another great cake/ bakery option in the Glendale area other than Porto's (and specifically for CAKES)- try Karina's. They have a Kievsky cake with OR without nuts that's a huge hit at celebrations. There was a line, you take a number and wait to be called- but pretty quick in getting to you. I haven't tried any of the other cakes YET. *The only request I have is for the staff: they can smile a little and be patient while answering questions about their cake selections. They know they're cakes are good, and it won't stop people from buying, but it's nice to have a welcoming attitude , especially for the customers. 7 out of 10 for me (only because of their customer service). read more

Karina's Cake House - Birthday Cake from Karina's Cake House - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

Karina's Cake House offers delicious and beautiful Armenian baked goods. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with well-stocked display cases. The bakery workers were efficient with calling ticket numbers and were okay if we weren't ready to place our order. I opted to try two of their slices: Honey Slice (5/5) - The honey slice is a russian honey cake that pairs perfectly with tea or coffee. The cake is made of a mix of thin layers of cake separated by a thin layer of cream. Ideal Slice (4/5) - The ideal slice was similar in favor to the honey slice but with nuts and slightly drier. It wasn't my favorite but still flavorful. read more

I'm shocked that the quality of my favorite cakes, Kievski and Kutuzov, has declined. On Valentine's Day, I ordered a Kievski cake, and the decor was terrible. You'd think they'd decorate with red strawberries, but all I got was a plain blackberry cake. I had to go out and decorate it with chocolate strawberries and add a love sign to make it more like a Valentine's Day cake. The decor is the least of my complaint considering that when I cut it and shared it with my family, all we tasted was baking soda. I was so disappointed that I threw the entire cake away. A few days later, we decided to try the Kutuzov cake. When we cut it, it was very dry, and the cream was so white that I thought they made it with whipped cream. But it tasted sour and had a strong baking soda taste. When we called the store, the manager said that it's possible that the Kutuzov cake was frozen even though she also said they made it that day. Why freeze it then??? She said to give it time to thaw, but we had guests over at the moment, who wants to wait for the cake to thaw. She also said that they use sour cream, which is why it's sour. When we insisted that the quality of both cakes were not to our expectation, the manager said that we NEED to bring the cakes to their store so they can taste it to see what was wrong with it. They said our tastes can be different. Mind you, I'm the one who paid for these cakes and have been eating them for the last 20 years. Also, it was raining heavily, and we didn't have a car at the time. We just paid heavy delivery fees for Uber to deliver these cakes to us and we have to deliver it back to them??? Not a sign of good customer service. The next day the manager called us and said we will pay for Uber to come and pick up the cake. What? Does she think I have a giant fridge to hold on to something that im not going to eat, I told her the cake went in the trash. What a waste of $90+ for these cakes. We were very disappointed with both cakes and the response we received from the manager of the store. Instead of offering future store credit or some type of compensation, their response was to bring the cakes back to the store. Looks like we won't be returning to Karina's anytime soon. read more

This is my girlfriends favorite place to come to whenever we have a chance to hang out in Glendale with some of her friends and family. We had not been here in a great while, I was in the area and picked up some cakes and other sweets to take back to Orange County for her. Too bad we do not have that many Armenian bakeries in Orange County. I purchased some Gata and Nazooks, they are FIRE in buttery taste. I also bought some Ponchaks. My favorite are the Beoraks. They can be a bit pricey too, but they are delicious. My girlfirend love these snacks, so I made sure I brought her back some going back home. Cant wait to visit again. read more

Karina's Almond Cookies is what I will drive to Glendale for. They are so delicious. They are Chewy, not overly sweet, crunch edge, soft cream, and just the perfect taste to eat it with a cup of coffee or by itself as a little dessert.

We've been a loyal customer of Karina for years, it's prolly our to-go cake for birthdays. When I needed a customized cake for a big event, they were my first thought. I asked for 3 layered cake, Kievsky flavor for all the layers. The size was meant for 100 people. I paid $640 including delivery. It didn't include the floral toppers and birthday sign topper. I needed to bring them a day before the cake delivery. The finished product was how I imagined it to be and it was delivered without any problems. Our guest loved the cake. read more

I ordered a custom cake for my birthday and what I received looked nothing like the photo. I understand that while you aren't able to make the exact cake from a photo I still expected something quite similar, which from the photos you can tell the colors are completely off. I was further disappointed when they offered no real solution to my dissatisfaction. Mind you I'm a returning customer. I will say the cake itself tasted great but considering how expensive the cake was I expected an overall better experience and customer service. read more

I stopped by here near the holidays and oh my goodness what a Christmas dream! The pastries were beautifully set up. The Kievsky cake is my absolute favorite and my yearly bday tradition cake! If you've never tried kyiv it's very similar to a Sans rival (filipino dessert) with layers of buttercream and cashews, BUT the crunch here is just top notch!! Also, their birdmilk cake and strawberry cake is delicious as well! Light airy and not too sweet! read more

WELL DESERVED 5th star! Popped in, to try these Almond cookies I've been hearing about. Holy heavens the rave reviews about these little morsels are ON POINT! Again, I was welcomed with the sweet aromas of fresh baked treats. Gets you ready for the happy dance party you're about to experience. I mean, when food makes you wanna get up and dance, you gotta applaud the pastry chef! BRAVO, my heart is filled with joy! In my option, the cookie texture is reminiscent of a French macaroon. Nice chewy center and a delicate crispy shell. 2 not 1 almond cookie are sandwiched in between this light and creamy filling. I can't put my finger on the flavor combinations, however what the filling tastes like to me, almond extract, crème fraîche, cream cheese and the perfect amount of sweetness to balance the entire cookie. That may not be the ingredients of the filling, however I tried my best to paint a close enough flavor profile of what I experienced. Whatever the ingredients are, It's SO GOOD! A PERFECT COOKIE! Again, thank you! I'm still dancing. So freckin' delicious! :)))) read more

Hello, On May 8, 2026, my family visited Karina's Cake House in Glendale and spent almost $200. Unfortunately, after completing our purchase, we experienced extremely rude and disrespectful behavior from one of your employees. She was a thin employee with filled lips who was not even directly helping us. After the payment, she pushed a small box toward us in a very rude and dismissive way, without even saying "thank you" or showing basic respect to customers. Her behavior felt arrogant and humiliating, and it made us feel looked down on. We came as respectful customers and spent nearly $200 at your business, so this treatment was especially upsetting and offensive. I ask you to please look into this employee's behavior and take this complaint seriously so other customers do not experience the same disrespect. read more

Amazing Customer Service provided by Nazely!! I was the first customer when their doors opened at 8:00 am today and Nazely welcomed me with a genuine and warm welcome. As a customer who came in super early seeing her with positivity and excitement made my day.. Keep it up Nazely.. Great Job!!! read more

Easy to find, near a major interstate. They have their own parking lot. They have a ton of variety of pastries. I couldn't decide which ones to get I wish I could try them all. The staff is very patient. The regulars know exactly what to get whereas tourists like me are in amazement of all the pretty and yummy goodies. Note to self, if you plan on traveling with the sweets, I'd suggest you pack a cooler and some packing material to protect the delicate pastries! read more

It was definitely worth making the drive out for these cakes. The cakes and pastries are always delicious and very intricately decorated. The last two times my family has gone, we've taken back several slices to have a tasting day at home. This time for my dad's birthday we ordered a Bird Milk Cake and it was absolutely delicious.

I've been to this bakery once before but decades ago, when it was a small, modest hole-in-the-wall. Strangely enough, I would daydream about their Beze cookies...the taste and textures are quite memorable, but I honestly couldn't remember this bakery's name. Anyway, as I was scrolling in Yelp for dessert options around the area, I luckily came across Karina's and realized that this was it! The place that has the cookies I dream about! (Yay!) Service was good. We came about 15-minutes before they closed so the initial vibe I got wasn't too welcoming, lots of gals behind the counter but no greeting and we were the only ones there at the time. Regardless, I asked a lot of questions because I was curious about the different dessert selections and Roza, our server, was helpful and kind. Karina's Cake House has beautiful cakes and delicious Armenian pastries. I personally recommend their Beze cookies and Almond cookies. It's now bookmarked for me so I know where to go when the craving hits. Pay them a visit too. They do have a private parking lot. read more

I've been a loyal customer here for many years and have ordered custom cakes multiple times, which makes this experience even more unacceptable. I placed an order for a custom cake for my wife's birthday--an important milestone--and they completely failed to deliver. The cake was not ready on the day of pickup, and no one bothered to contact me beforehand. I had to call them myself, and the employee on the phone was completely unhelpful, dismissive, and showed zero urgency or concern for the situation. Instead of trying to fix the issue, I was met with vague answers and no real solution. At that point, I was left scrambling at the last minute to find a replacement, which completely disrupted what was supposed to be a special day. What makes this worse is that this is coming from a long-time customer. I gave this place repeat business over the years and trusted them with an important event, and they couldn't even meet the most basic expectation of having the order ready--or at the very least, communicating properly. This level of poor service, lack of accountability, and disregard for customers is unacceptable. I will not be returning, and I strongly recommend others think twice before trusting them with anything important. read more

Ever since i was little we have been ordering all our cakes from Karina's Cake house. They always accomplish exactly the design we ask for. They meet our expectation on another level.

Long story short you'll not only get the cake you asked for you'll also get the best tasting one. read more
