Both the Grand Marnier and fruit tart were superb. Got so many complements from the guests, esp on the Grand Marnier - fresh and moist, very tasty. Love the fruity taste of the liqueur mixed with the chocolate. read more

Mamolo's Calabasas has an amazing selection of cakes. The detail the bakers put into the cakes are top-tier, and the cakes taste just as good as it looks. Fresh, flavorful, and made with care.Perfect spot for birthdays, weddings, or any special occasion. Highly recommend the fruit tart with a cookie dough crust, creamy custard, and a generous portion of fresh fruit ! read more

Mamolo's Fine Pastries - 9' Fruit tart - Bakeries Near Me - Calabasas, California

Apparently, if you want a fresh challah you have to be very specific that you want a fresh one because the ones on the outside that the employees grab could be a couple of days old. I was told this by an employee. Very disappointing. The old bakery had it fresh every time I ordered it. read more

Beware!!! Viktor Benes is no longer operating the bakery at Gelson's. I went to get pumpkin pie from Viktor Benes, which was a traditional part of our thanksgiving every year. They only had pies from Mamolo's bakery. I was told it was the same pie as Viktor Benes, that it was only a name change, so I bought the pie. It was horrible, tasteless, bland, floury, with none of the spiciness and smooth texture of the Viktor Benes pumpkin pie that we had looked forward to every year at Thanksgiving. And, when I got the pie home, it had small white spots on the surface that looked like mold to me. I threw the pie away after taking a few bites. Stay far, far away from Mamolo's Bakery!!!!!!! read more

Such a friendly bakery, located inside of the Gelson's in Calabasas. In addition to Lavazza coffee service, they have an extensive variety of pastries and cookies, brownies, muffins, and more for a little daytime nibble. I didn't try one, but there was a small countertop case of warm croissants that looked good. There are some beautiful cakes on display as well. There is a long rack/shelf of freshly baked bread that they make daily out of their own bakery, including a ton of different varieties of challah and other breads. Really great presentation! read more

They no longer use traditional custard in their neapolitans. They replaced it with tasteless whipped cream and passed it off as the same. The price was the same but they no longer use custard. Total rip-off read more

I've been going to Viktor Benes locations in the SF Valley for years. A great bakery that always makes fresh, diverse and delicious cookies and pastries. Their day old muffins in the AM are a great deal. I have ordered a specialty Chocolate Parisian Cake a few times for holidays and they were always amazing. Good coffee and croissants, too. read more

Great customer service vary nice and vary quick with great detailing the mangers were kind and the workers were even more kind the only thing that was a little bit to much was the price but it was 100% worth every penny read more

What a awesome Bakery in the San Fernando Valley. Stopped here a few weeks ago to try out some cakes and other goodies. They prepare birthday cakes and wedding cakes here. I purchased some muffins and small cupcakes. Great owners and customer service here. I will do my best to come back on my next trip. read more

Was helped by Junior, who helped me come up with a custom birthday cake that was a huge hit. He was very knowledgeable and the final price was very reasonable. I highly recommend working with him to come up with a creation that your loved ones will enjoy In a separate visit, also tried the chocolate Parisian. Pretty good bakery read more

Tried the cinnamon twist, it was delicious. Viktor Benes is located Inside Gelson's grocery store so don't expect sit down service.

Only giving this a two star because the staff was so kind. The workers were great, but the products here all lack flavor and decent consistency. Not worth it. They had only a pumpkin pound cake and pumpkin muffin top for the season options and they were both so dry and crumbly. I also go an americano which was only 2 shots of espresso for a large so it was super watery. I would recommend Doan's Bakery instead. read more

The bakers, artists and staff went above and beyond to create one of the most amazing birthday cakes ever seen for my son's fifth birthday. He was in awe and couldn't stop smiling. It tasted as good as it looked! Jesus was wonderful at communicating throughout the process. He delivered more than what was promised in a timely and courteous manner. A truly wonderful experience. Thank you to everyone at Viktor Benes Calabasas! read more

Mamolo's Fine Pastries - Custom made birthday cake! Just like the photo we presented and DELICIOUS! - Bakeries Near Me - Calabasas, California

Don't waste your money! They use to be on top of their game but not anymore! The past 5 times I gave them a try I was extremely disappointed. It is not much fun spending $50 on baked goods that ended up in the trash once I got home. Nothing and I mean nothing was fresh!!!I have purchased a puppy seed full size cake and some Napoleons, all was old and dry, but yet they brought it from the back as if it was just created...They keep some product in the back and they bring it out as if it was just baked. Yesterday was the last time step foot in this place, and I will do all I can to warn others and will post more reviews anywhere possible. Dear Victor: If you want to be in Calabasas and charge big $$$ you must do the following: A) offer fresh product and dispose of what is not. B) hire some professional and pleasant employees. Calabasas residents: Don't Waste your Money, you deserve better. read more

I ordered cookies of a logo for a special event 3 days in advance. When I picked them up they were entirely the wrong color. Instead of white in the logo they were green. I trusted that they could make what I needed. This was for a very special event for my daughter and now I had nothing to bring that I would be proud of. The manager, who was a teenager was sweet but offered me my money back and that I could take one cookie. Then the owner came out and she was defensive. Then her husband stepped in who is clearly the business person and apologized up and down and was very kind and could see how upset I was. He gave me the 6 cookies and my money back. This went on for 30 min. I wish businesses knew good customer service. They should have given my money back and offered me a personalized cake ... something to make it special. They should have called me and said they were struggling. Do t get me wrong.. giving my money back is good customer service. But not offering me something else to make it special for my daughter, they lost my business. read more

We had a very very cute cake made for a baby shower that was inspired from a design I saw in the glass display cake. Jesus, the head baker and cake designer, was so helpful, creative, patient and professional as we discussed the nuances of what we wanted for this event. It was delivered right on time and was perfect! This bakery inside of Gelson's makes amazing baked goods but this - pun intended - takes the cake! Thank you so much for your creative work as an artist and sculptor of this gorgeous, edible creation! read more

I came here after reading reviews about the great Creme brûlé. I was visiting on a business trip and have an awful sweet tooth. The bakery is gorgeous with soo many great choices (I wish I took a picture). I picked up the brûlé and a couple of assorted cookies and brought them back to my hotel. They looked soo much better than they tasted. Not that they were bad but I guess my expectations were high. The creme brûlé did not have much flavor but the cookies were pretty good. I didn't go into the grocery part but the store was very clean and the staff patient, although she didn't speak much English. read more

Love, love, love this Bakery. They are located in Gelson's Calabasas and everything is great. Highly recommend!!

Bought assorted stuff to bring to a Passover Seder. I was embarrassed. Most of it was not edible. I should have known better. This location has butchered the original Benes recipes. read more

I had my wedding cake made here and also ordered macaroons as my wedding favors! The wedding cake was so beautifully done, exactly as I wished it would be and it tasted so amazing! I am still craving the cake (cappuccino flavor), and my guests haven't stopped talking about the cake and the macaroons to this day! I just recently also ordered another cake for a baby shower for work, it was a strawberry shortcake, it was super cute and it tasted amazing, not too sweet, just perfect! read more

Mamolo's Fine Pastries - My beautiful Wedding cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Calabasas, California

I do not know where to begin. I have been a customer for nearly 5 years. At every event, I have received nothing but the best service, pastries, and customer service. Each cake has been truly a masterpiece. I cannot thank them enough. I have been a loyal customer because they are absolutely amazing! read more

This is my morning go to ! Coffee is great, Pastries are fresh and to die for, and they do some of the best custom cakes in the San Fernando Valley. Staff is super helpful and welcoming. read more

This bakery WAS my favorite place to get the most incredible muffins (still warm), croissants, etc. The quality couldn't be found anywhere and it was where my husband and I would have little morning dates. The pastries reminded us of trips overseas. We were worried when we saw the new management sign outside - I thought, "Oh, gosh, Hope nothing has changed!" We were SHOCKED to see the level to which it sank. Blah "store bought" quality muffins. Croissants that looked like they came from costco. Nothing special anymore. If I wanted regular old supermarket muffins - I would have gone to Ralphs! I hope they change it back and soon.... I miss those almond croissants! read more

I guess this same bakery is in all the Gelson's Markets. I only know the one in Calabasas. The baked goods are not organic but they do have beautiful cakes. There are always super-creative cakes with holiday themes.........like for Halloween, a big icky-looking ghoul head with protruding bloodshot eyes. And if that kills your appetite, choose instead one of the pretty, colorful cakes with flowers on top. Edible works of art, truly masterpieces. read more

Ok. If you go to gelsons and don't stop by this place before you leave , you are missing out . This place has some of the most delicious pastries and cookies you can get from the valley. Everything from the choc chip cookie to the ice cream cookie to the creme brûlée . I have never been upset with any of my purchases here , however the price is a little to costly . Usually I can get more from bakeries for 10$ , but the only issue I have is the prices per lb. which is like 16-17$ If that's not an issue , this place will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. I do recommend getting a mix as I have a new favorite every time I go read more

I love the cookies here they remind me of times long ago at Jewish weddings. They would have a HUGE table piled high with little cookies covered in sprinkles and other types. I wish we didn't have to write such long reviews- the point of my review is to let you know about the great pastries and good customer service at the counter. I allow myself to buy a few Delco's whenever I am in a Gelson's market. I knew Victor when he only had 3 out of 6 bakery's in Gelson's. I will put up a picture I took as soon as I can figure out how!!! read more

Under new ownership this place has improved tremendously! Fresh always and back to the days when David was there. Greatest cakes and pastries in far west valley.my favorite are Delos and fruit tarts. Good service and good attitude. read more

Amber helped me out tonight & was extremely helpful & friendly. She gave me some candles and birthday sticks because I told her I was getting the pastries as a birthday gift. She had a great attitude read more

I've lived in the Woodland Hills/Calabasas area for 16 years. Gelsons has been my store for so many of those years. The problem they had was the bakery. A bakery that served an odd collection of breakfast that had nothing to do with fine European pastries and cakes. As a result, the quality of the baked goods was less than exceptional and the pastries were clearly not at the forefront of a quality initiative. If I wanted rotating Empanadas on a hot plate, I'd hit a Vallarta, not a Gelsons. With the change in management, it's easy to recognize the huge improvement in quality. Clearly, this represents an enormous shift in thinking and puts the bakery back on track to match the quality, freshness, cleanliness and service of the rest of the market. So happy to not have to travel elsewhere for my sweets shopping anymore! It's all here in one place. While the bakery carries many of the staples found in all of the connected Viktor Benes stores, the individually crafted cakes and pastries here really stand out. Great way to shop for everything at once if you are entertaining for a large party, or just looking to satisfy a sweet tooth! Happy food shopping.... read more

This used to be a really awesome bakery and we would always get the parisian chocolate cake and other random cakes every other month. Unfortunately, the management changed and the cakes are no longer the same. It tastes sweeter and the quality of the ingredients don't seem the same. For the same price, we now go to that famous amazing cuban bakery in Burbank that's much further away, but definitely worth the trip. Would definitely consider coming back if they bring back the old management. read more

The baker, Jesus, here is a true artist. We had a custom cake made for our daughter's birthday. The party's theme was Totoro (a lovely movie for young kids.) While he wasn't familiar with the movie, he asked for some links to images from the movie and discussed with us what we wanted captured. I have posted a picture. An amazing job that got kudos from everyone that attended. And reasonably priced, to boot! Jesus can make just about anything! We've been using him for some time. This year was the best! Can't wait to see what he creates next year! read more

If you want THE best gluten free peanut butter cookie in LA, you've got to try Viktor Bene's! The chocolate chip is out of this world too!

They need to revamp their recipes. Most items taste institutional. I've tried many of the desserts and still have not found one I'd want to have again. Mostly I get the cookie assortment. They are not too bad and my grandchildren enjoy them. read more

I always stop in here to get some checkerboard shortbread cookies which are amazing. I also get a slice of princess cake and their passion fruit iced tea with the orange slice. SO GOOD. I got a tiramisu cake the other day which I wasn't too fond of, but my boyfriend liked it. The store is always clean and shoppable, never really busy which is nice. read more

I have been coming to this bakery for about 11 years. They used to have friendly sales associates and their pastries were delicious. I just left this bakery very disappointed. HENRY is the rudest employee I have ever met at this bakery. HENRY seemed to be tired and just did not want to be at work. HENRY rolled his eyes at me, slammed the counter drawers as he was getting my pastries, and was huffing and puffing. In fact, he seemed like he was on something because he was slurring his words! HENRY did not speak clearly and I could not understand him. HENRY did not smile once and would not allow me to speak with a manager or owner. read more

Oh I don't know how to start... The manager in the bakery (Juana) I guess that's what her name is, is very rude. When she talk to you she doesn't even look at you she just keep moving and bouncing around without answering you when you have a question. She doesn't even have the guts of telling you why your order that is been ordered 3 days in advance is not ready yet. Instead she will act like it's not a big deal... She has temper and when another lady spoke out on my behalf she insulted her. Is this really the level of customer service that we should get there? Their cakes use to be better but not anymore. everything is one star and expensive. I won't go back. But to be fair to other people who work there, there are couple of really nice ladies like Elizabeth will make you feel better. We need more people like her in everywhere... read more

It's Passover during the Coronavirus. How do you make a flourless chocolate cake if you can't find heavy cream? You can't. So the next best thing, I went to my favorite bakery in Gelson's market and picked up the best macaroons and their flourless chocolate cake. We had a great Passover dinner and then it was time for dessert. I placed the cake on a tray and served it. To our disappointment it was so dry and had no flavor. Not even the rich dark smooth chocolate flavor. What happen Viktor? Someone over cooked it. So I called the bakery and told them about it. What did they say. Nothing, the women on the phone said we can not do anything about it. WHAT. I could not believe my ears. No credit, no refund, no I'm sorry come in and get something else? NOTHING. WOW. This was the wrong policy for a business. I am a fabulous baker. In a crunch I come to Viktor to help me out. WELL, you just lost me as a customer. read more

I ordered a iced vanilla latte then after I try my drink I realize it doesn't taste like it normally does. I got back to ask if they put vanilla in my drink and they said we are out of it... so if you're out of it tell me that. I then ask for a refund and look at my bank account later today and see I have two charges for $4.25. They never refunded me but charged me again! read more

Great Bakery! Perfect taste ! Yesus is so professional in his job and he knows what to do ! Teresa is so friendly and their customer service is wonderful!thank you all for the great service read more
