I really wished that I like this new place. Unfortunately, the quality was not there. They are really pretty but the croissant was not flaky and it was too doughy. It does not have lightness of that classic French croissant should have. Almond croissant has very little almond paste that it barely exist which is very different from French classic one that I know ( I lived more than 15 years). Very pricy for the quality. I do not believe I will go back. 3 pastries and coffee was close to $30. read more

Very beautiful cakes and friendly staff but also pretty expensive ($11+ for a personal sized tart).

Overpriced, stale, pretty looking but not super tasty. Worst part is that they illegally charge you the wrong sales tax (city of Campbell) and when I asked about it they didn't seem to care. Definitely won't be back. This is a more expensive and lower quality bakery than Paris baguette (which itself is mediocre at best) read more

Came in on Valentine's Day, arrived at 9:30am and ordered the Passionfruit tart, Lemon tart and almond croissant. The croissant was warmed up in a tiny toaster oven. Toaster oven is the size of a household toaster oven. The passion fruit tart was served FROZEN. I could not cut in to it. I brought the tart to the register. Stood there for a few minutes until someone helped me. I told the lady that it is frozen and if it suppose to be served frozen. The lady behind me said, it's like Costco frozen! Costco frozen! That's deep freezer frozen! She then brought the tart to the back. The lady came back and said it doesn't suppose to be served frozen. Why even serve it if it is frozen? I told her I can't cut in to it. All she said was, I don't know what to tell you. No refund or even offered to switch it out to something else. First of all, where is the customer service? You open a high end looking pastry shop that serves frozen treats?!? Mind you, the tart was around $11.00. It is not cheap. I was expecting the manager to come out and talk to me but no, it never happened. No sorry, nothing! People will pay to enjoy their treats in an upscale looking shop but then you cut in your pastry and it's frozen??? Like I said, why serve it, when it's frozen. What else is frozen that is being served? Is it frozen because you place the desserts in a non refrigerated display case? The safe serve guideline for thawing is in the refrigerator and not in a display case. This is not a safe serve practice and should be reported to the department of health. Your practice on thawing is not acceptable. It's like leaving milk out on the counter to curdle and serving it in coffee. You will no doubt get your patrons sick this way. If I wanted something frozen, I could have gotten ice cream down the street. The other 2 items that were purchased, mediocre. I'll just leave the review right here. Poor customer service and not worth it. This place is a no for me! Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Absolutely stunning!!! It honestly felt like we were buying some high end jewelry lol. The desserts were too beautiful to consume, but somebody's gotta do it! Customer service was amazing even shortly before closing, very helpful and nice! If I could say ONE thing is that I wished they had better packaging. Some type of a divider for let's say multiple cakes in a box, bc they will shift. Even if carried delicately anything can happen and these desserts are way too pretty to ruin. Better safe than sorry! Anyway, I highly recommend this place nonetheless!!! read more

5 Stars. Period. The flavor visions were executed perfectly. Consistency, top-tier in every layer. I'm just blown away honestly!!! 20/10, highly recommend! read more

chocolate croissant was more flat than puffy. and almost greasy when they heated it up so pastry got soggy, I will try again without heating. just got way too buttery. Their tea has a milky flavor to it. so while not my cup of tea I imagine others will enjoy. service was friendly and efficient. will try other pastry to get a broader view. pretty pricy as well. read more

Cute place with amazing tasting desserts. The service was excellent. Would definitely return if in the area. read more

Pastries were yummy. But it took way too long to receive my rose latte. I waited and waited. People who arrived after me received their coffee/food before me. Not very good customer service. read more

Beautiful place with beautiful and delicious cakes! The atmosphere was great. Staff were incredibly friendly.

Delicious drinks and desserts. Not sweet as I thought they would be. Will definitely be back. read more

I have to disagree with the woman below, because everything we had from here was fantastic, especially the Royal Hazelnut!! Pricey, yes, but beautiful and delicious. We now have many lovely pastry choices in the Walnut Creek/Danville/Pleasant Hill area, so we are very lucky, but I plan on heading back to Marvel again very soon!! read more

The pastries are excellent (They use the same distributor as Brioche de Paris uses). Service could improve. A lot. While the young barista are, for the most part, nice, they panic when the bakery is packed. They misplace orders, forget to bring sugar, forget to bring your pastries with your coffee, etc. etc. The coffee is, unfortunately, horrendous. They cannot make a decent cappuccino (It's milk with a bit of foam and a touch of espresso). For what you pay, not worth it. The location is excellent, so hopefully, they'll bring in someone with experience to teach them the basics. read more

Everything is amazing. The staff are so sweet. I ordered the chocolate hazelnut tart and the white chocolate mocha definitely recommend.

I'm very happy to see Marvel Cake in Walnut Creek as a cafe connoisseur! The interior is very elegant and vibey. I came in specifically for the spiral croissants but the girl at the register kindly informed me that they aren't put out until noon everyday. Slightly disappointed because it looked incredible on Instagram, however customer service was too friendly for me to be upset. She recommended the Pistachio mousse tart & the Spinach feta croissant. I took them home to try because it was pretty busy when I went & I was no where near disappointed. Lovely environment, beautiful pastries, nice people!!!! read more

This shop opened nearby and we were excited to try it. The owners and employees are friendly and warm. They treated my toddler boys so sweetly. Thank you!!! The desserts are unique, thoughtful, and tasty. I could tell a lot of care goes into their production. My husband and I tried the passion fruit tart which was refreshing and light. The boys loved their cupcakes. We'll be back and look forward to trying more. read more

Was eager to go to this bakery. Very disappointed. Went at 3pm on Saturday, they close at 7pm, they barely had any pastries to choose from. Got 4 small pastries,3 of them were the last pieces left, cost was 46$. We didn't like any, even my 7 year old who loves desserts didn't eat it. Creme brulee base was so hard we couldn't eat it. Pastries look good but don't taste good and ambience is good. Not worth the money. read more

somehow we've got an explosion of fantastic pastries businesses. Marvel Cake is definitely a hight-bar cafe with high quality stuff. highly recommend read more

Amazing! This is a true work of art and absolutely delicious. I'm so glad they decided to open a branch in Walnut Creek.

Marvel cake is a wonderful place to meet up with friends, pick up a dessert or spend some time reading a book. It's beautifully decorated and the pastries selection is mouthwatering. Service is wonderful. It's a lovely place to slow down and enjoy life. read more

I tried a few of their pastries and cakes, and every single one was outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. The atmosphere is so relaxing and inviting. I especially love the minimal design inside--it's simple, clean, and lets the pastries really shine. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Tried the spiral croissant, dubai chocolate croissant, passion fruit cake, taro/black sesame cake, and crepe cake. The croissants and passion fruit cake were the most flavorful. Everything was quite expensive, but tasty. Service and ambiance were great. read more

This new bakery is very pretty, but I won't be back for several of reasons. One, everything is VERY overpriced, two, the people working there are not very friendly (One of the ladies working was okay, but the others had a very impatient vibe), and three, I found out that all their mousse desserts are made with pork gelatin. I had to email to ask as that information is not on their website that I could find. They should have an ingredient break down on their website in my opinion. It's a cool place to go once for the experience (if you eat pork) but I wouldn't go there more then that. read more

Great afternoon with Marvel Cake in Downtown Walnut Creek. Love the ambiance and warm welcome from the staff. Incredible selection of pastries and desserts for an afternoon treat to special events. I particularly enjoyed my afternoon cappuccino. My new regular cafe when I'm in the area! read more

Honestly not very good and overpriced. Got the crepe cake, crème brûlée, tiramisu and pistachio and spinach croissant. It just wasn't very good. I couldn't care less about the ambiance and the look of the place I care about quality, taste and price and it failed on all three. I wouldn't go back. read more

I was just ready to purchase some cake at store since people from fb highly recommended this new place. Yet, once I saw the gir who cleaned the cups, plates with a quick rinse in the sank nearby the cashier, I immediately walked out. That isn't proper to clean the dishes for any food business. The owner must strictly train his or her employees to follow the work protocol. Otherwise the business will go down quickly. read more

Great pastries. A bit expensive but great atmosphere. We got a bit of each to do a tasting and everyone was satisfied.

Love the Ambiance and the Service., Food Quality is great, Had a Lavender Latte and so smooth.,

went here with my sister on a tuesday afternoon around 2:30pm. it's really cute inside and the vibe is nice i guess. they have little to no selection during this time of the day. it was empty and they had a couple things only. everything that i wanted to try was sold out but that could be on my end since it was already the afternoon but it closes at 7pm at night. so if they have no selection at 2pm what would they have at 6pm? however everything i did get was cold and hard. there was a pistachio mousse type thing like the dubai chocolate and the filling was stale. not sure if its supposed to be stale but i highly doubt it is supposed to be. there were only two workers there and they asked if we needed help after we looked around at the goods already. in my opinion everything was too expensive for the taste. it was cute inside but will i ever go back? no read more

I've lived in Walnut Creek for a couple years and I couldn't be happier to have stumbled upon this place today! They have amazing tarts and wonderful service even though it was super busy. I order the serenity tart along with a rose latte and both tasted amazing. I will definitely be coming back! read more

i went here and the atmosphere was super nice. the pop music in the background was really not matching the aesthetic. me and my sister think that there should be piano or cello music instead to match the interior. also, as someone with an almond allergy i wish they had ingredient lists next to all their cakes/tarts. if u have that allergy, just be prepared to not be able to eat most of the pretty desserts you're seeing on here cuz they have a ton of almond flour based crusts that they put all the fillings in. marvel, pls label your cakes with ingredients lists for each one instead of having that one "lots of these contain allergens" sign i didn't even see. thanks read more
