    Jade
    Sho R.

    I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. The place was not too busy. They used to have spiral croissant. Unfortunately, they no longer make it. Their pastries look very beautiful. Pistachio macaron was good. Ube sesame tart was a beautiful pastry. That was good too. Jade (banana matcha) was a slightly different type of tea. I think strawberry matcha would have tasted better.

    Really pretty bakery and great for afternoon tea. We were really bummed they got rid of the stuffed croissants. Service was quick. The place was pretty and clean. I definitely need to take my gfs here for a girls day out. Overall everything was tasty and we definitely will be back.

    Cakes are good, but be sure to ask what's in them to make sure it's up your alley! I've tried many and can't wait to try more

    Holy smokes -- literally! When I started planning the cake for my sister's 50th birthday, I knew I didn't just need a cake designer. I needed a true artist. Someone who could create a cake just as EXTRA as the person it was meant for. This wasn't just a birthday cake. It was meant to be a testament to 50 years of an amazing life well lived. A sculpture. A piece of art. Something that somehow captured her life, her personality, the things she loves, and the people she loves. There were so many details, and every single one had a story and a meaning behind it. I needed someone who understood that and could actually pull it all off. Then I found Maryam at Marvel Cake. I'm fairly certain Maryam thought I was kidding when I first told her I wanted a gold, smoke-breathing lion on the cake. I was not. And once she realized that, she didn't try to talk me out of my crazy vision, she embraced it. She worked with me to find just the right lion mold. She figured out how to make the smoke actually happen. She even scheduled a practice run with a dummy cake ahead of time so we could make sure everything would work perfectly on the big day. And that same level of care went into every other ridiculous, sentimental, over-the-top detail I threw at her. Throughout the entire process, Maryam was kind, patient, helpful, incredibly sweet, and genuinely invested in bringing this vision to life. And she did. The finished cake was beyond anything I could have hoped for. It wasn't just beautiful or impressive, it captured who my sister is. Every tier, every flower, every symbol, every tiny detail meant something. This cake was incredibly important to me because, in a strange way, it was my love letter to my sister. It was 50 years of memories, things and people she loves, and pieces of her life all wrapped up in one completely outrageous cake. And Maryam treated every single element as though it were just as important to her as it was to me. That is a rare thing. If you're looking for someone to simply make you a beautiful cake, Maryam can absolutely do that. But if you're looking for someone to take an idea that sounds completely impossible (possibly involving a smoke-breathing gold lion) and turn it into something meaningful, personal, spectacular and unforgettable, Maryam is your person. Thank you, Maryam, for understanding that this was never just a cake.

    Came by for some baked goods the other day and it was a decent experience. Parking was available in the private strip mall. Staff behind the counter were courteous. Ordered a chocolate hazelnut dessert and it was tasty and very good. Most importantly, it wasn't too sweet. It was on the pricier side at $10+ each.

    It has been on my list to visit, known for the Spiral Croissant made popular like around 2 years ago. Great indoor and outdoor dining. Since it is small shopping area there is a lot of parking. It is a great place to enjoy a cup or tea or coffee with a selection of decadent desserts. As you check the display case someone will help you and you can request for take out or for here options. The staff were friendly and helpful when I requested for explanation for some of the desserts. Once you pay, pick any table to sit down and they will bring the tea or coffee with dessert of your choice. I had ordered Tokyo Breakfast and Leek Parmesan (I requested the pastry to be warmed up). Definitely must try for people who love IPP (Individual Production Pastry) type of desserts and great place to hangout with your friends or family.

    Customer service 5/5 Desserts 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 I came in randomly one day knowing I had always wanted to try their pastries. I'm not sure why I thought they would also have slices of cake ( Hense the name), but they had smaller pastries and dessert options. A lot of selections for all of your dessert cravings. I will have to go back in and try their coffee and other items. But the things I ordered were good.

    seating area

    Marvel Cake is such a hidden gem! The whole café has a girly and luxurious vibe, from the plush, super comfy seating to the elegant decor. There's plenty of indoor seating, so you don't feel cramped at all -- and bonus points for a clean, well-maintained bathroom, free WiFi, and easy, plentiful parking. I went on a Sunday around 1 PM, and surprisingly, it wasn't crowded at all -- which made the experience even better. I ordered the Hokkaido crepe cake, chocolate croissant, iced latte, and an iced americano. Everything was delicious: * The chocolate croissant was super crispy and fresh -- probably one of the best I've had. * The crepe cake was light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. * The iced latte was smooth and well-balanced, and you can tell they use good quality coffee. Definitely coming back. Whether you're into desserts, coffee, or just a chill spot with a pretty vibe, Marvel Cake checks all the boxes.

    I generally like the cake here, but this time I ordered their mini daily cake. Vanilla flavor and it was super dry and dense.

    Croissants selection
    Lukas S.

    This has been my go-to place and a secret superpower for the last few years, that enabled me to show up with an amazing cakes for my wife's birthdays and really any occasions. They have a good selection of small single-serve cakes that we really enjoy, as we get to try many different flavors. But they also have large cakes, daily cakes, legendary Marvel tiramisu and all kinds of pastries. It's impossible to come in and walk out without a huge box of things you didn't know you needed. The service is quick and polite. They will even calligraph a custom edible banner for your cake! I've always taken away but there are some tables to eat in. There are always some people there but it's reasonably quiet and peaceful, with lots of light and muted colors interior.

    This place is absolutely lovely! The desserts were such a treat. I came the other day with a friend, and we ordered a few to share, the lemon pie, the passion fruit dessert, and the tiramisu, which was definitely our favorite. I had a cappuccino that was smooth and well-balanced, and my friend got the red velvet coffee, which had a really nice, subtle flavor, just the right touch of sweetness. If it weren't for my sugar sensitivity, I'd probably spend way more time here! The ambiance is so aesthetic and cozy, perfect for catching up with friends over coffee and something sweet.

    I ordered a custom cake from them and it came out so beautiful and it was very good! Highly recommend this bakery and will definitely be ordering from them again!

Also, she was so accommodating by making this cake on a Thursday when her availability is strictly weekends. However, if I knew that asking for an accommodation would mean my needs wouldn't have been met I would have looked elsewhere. I ordered a 7 inch buttercream cake but instead received fondant which went uneaten. I went back to review the invoice she sent and I realized there was a portion that said fondant but it also said buttercream so I just ignored it because I had no problems with the previous cakes I had received. This cake was for my friends son so I was so sad when they complained about the toughness of the fondant. I should have contacted her prior to make sure it would be buttercream but I believe she also could have let me know she would have been diverging from what I requested.

The cake itself lacked many details of the reference cake and it was also delivered late, making me believe that she spent extra time on final touches.

    Update Review: First things first, I'd like to clarify that…read morethe cake and filling was indeed what I ordered. Secondly, I have to give credit where it's due- Sweets By Design totally came through when it came to taste and wow factor (minus the drip design)!! Cake was fantastic [MOIST & DELICIOUS] and I was surprised by my in-laws approval as well. No joke, they are harsh critics when it comes to desserts and to see them enjoy every bite was definitely a SLAM DUNK. I legit couldn't cut the cake fast enough!! On a side note, thank you Nicole for immediately reaching out to me regarding my disappointment. She handled the situation in a prompt and professional manner. I appreciated her genuineness and heartfelt concern about my issues. 3 stars overall but one additional star for Nicole's customer service. She truly cares about her clients. Business is booming for SBD for obvious reasons and my only warning would be the glitch in communication. Be aware that you may need to reach out and send a few reminder pokes. ---------------------------------------------------- I really wanted to like this small business, I really had high hopes. Unfortunately Sweets By Design is an absolute bust!! After a not so good first impression with SBD during my baby shower planning, I still wanted to give Nicole and her business a try. Since we were never really able to celebrate the birth of my daughter the way we wanted, my husband and I wanted to make her 6 month [[half]] bday a little bit sweeter. I decided to reach out and see if Nicole could help me with our cake. To start off, the issues with communication was just as bad as the 1st time around. I reached out to the business via Instagram on 9/26 and got a response back quickly. I informed the cake's pick up date and sent over 3 designs that I was potentially looking at. I ended up settling with the pastel, drip, macaron, & sprinkles design [see attached photo]. A quote was promised the following day [9/27] and NOTHING WAS RECEIVED. Nicole did reach out 2 days later with the pricing and I was ready to place my order and get the ball rolling. NO RESPONSE. I dm again asking for a cake flavor listing so I can finalize the order and process whatever cost that is needed. AGAIN, CRICKETS! I am forced to reach out yet again on 9/30 asking if she was going to be able to make the cake adding that important details and payment had not yet been able to be finalized. At that point I finally get a response. The entire process of working with this baker is just more stressful than it should. An email was sent to confirm cake info and the filling listed was incorrect. Then 2 days prior to pick up, I have to message Nicole again about an address as to where I need to pick up my order. She then sends another revised email. Cake- My husband was left with the job of picking up the cake since I have an infant to attend to. He comes home with a cake that is nice BUT NOT WHAT I ORDERED. The drip design was nowhere to be found. At this point, I question whether or not the cake & the filling is even correct. I am super let down by what was delivered, even after all the detailed discussion with Nicole. I have dm'd her through IG & sent her texts regarding my disappointment so we'll see how that goes. I'll update my review if/when I hear back from someone regarding this matter.

My virtual baby shower was boba themed so my friend sent a picture of one of the graphics my sister made for me for the baby shower as inspiration for the boba cake. The cake (picture attached) looked just like the graphic and was perfect! I liked that she used an actual boba straw for the top and that it was very detailed and cute. Everyone who was able to see it online thought it was a perfect boba cake. For flavorings, my friend and husband chose the lemon with raspberry (I think) filling. It was one of the hottest days in the Silicon Valley (over 100 degrees) but the cake kept fine in the car and sitting out. The cake itself was moist, not too sweet and had the right amount of lemon flavoring. The raspberry part was also very good. Overall, no complaints about the texture or flavor of the cake. I'm not the hugest fan of fondant so I'm not the best judge but the overall icing was fine as well. Overall, very impressed with the style, design and execution of the cake. The flavor was also good!

When we've brought it to social gatherings in the past, it's also always a hit. Their other desserts, like their lemon bars, french napoleon, and turtle cheesecake, are also major hits. So when it was time for my wedding, I knew I had to get my cake from them! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They offer cake tasting boxes that include their most popular flavors. However, we had a specific taste profile in mind and asked if they could custom make the samples for us - they said yes without hesitation and didn't charge us extra! The samples were delicious and the pickup process was easy. We went with a ribbon cake (chocolate and vanilla) with fresh strawberries, whipped cream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. I also had a very specific vision for my wedding cake - I wanted a detailed three-tier cake with buttercream vintage flowers.

It was covered in chocolate and filled with custard, and it was just the right sweetness and not too sweet. The size was pleasing, and the custard filling was good. The cake was not enjoyable; to be fair, this might or might not be due to personal taste. It was a 3-layer vanilla cake filled with lemon mousse, covered in buttercream and white chocolate bark pieces, and topped with 10 blueberries. This flavor can be found on their website catalog. I don't know if this is typical for this bakery, but the cake was heavy, claggy on the bottom, and way too sweet. The lemon mousse tasted incredibly strange, as if it were artificial or maybe had some kind of herb or weird flavoring added. The less said about the cream, the better. The white chocolate was quite good though. I saw they had a wide variety of cake offerings, but I don't think I'd want cake from here again. I might get the choux pastry again.
