Old Town Pasadena, California…read more Next to Nana's Green Tea, Delight is A very good French bakery, no breads, but Delight feeds the pastry hunger in me -- all the pastries, cakes and gelati are excellent. There is a smallish macaron counter with popular flavors and can be boxed up to bring home. The house made sandwiches (focaccia), breakfasts and lunch items are very good to excellent also and with great prices. With about 15 tables (a couple of tables for larger groups), there's a steady stream of people here and it would be a matter of time when lines will form out the door. Service is super attentive. The minute you come in the person behind the counter comes to assist. Ohhh almost forgot, savory pastries (caprese and artichoke and cheese) are super well-made and the crusts delightfully light and crispy :-) I keep coming back. End of Yelp.

We were on our way somewhere else when I smelled something buttery in the air. I told my partner,…read more"I have to eat this smell," and we followed our noses to Delight Pastry. The large display of pastries is sure to dazzle, and we spend a good minute looking over the multitude of offerings in the case. Service was fast and efficient, and we sat ourselves. CAPRESE DANISH: 5/5. Perfectly balanced flavors. Tomatoes were fresh and the balsamic was bright. HAM AND CHEESE CROISSANT: 4/5. I know it would have been SO good if it were warmed up and the cheese were a little melty. KOUIGN AMANN: 3/5. My favorite pastry. Perhaps a personal preference, but I wish the sugar were a little more caramelized. It also was not as rich as I am accustomed to this pastry being.

The cake was so delicious and honestly one of the cutest cakes I've ever ordered. The owner was super accommodating, I was able to pick it up a little early with no issues, which I really appreciated. And can we talk about the packaging?? SO. DAMN. CUTE. ( I forgot to take a pic but it was nicely wrapped) The original cake design had a little bear, but she changed it to a red heart, which was so nice and fit the theme perfectly. I'll 100% be ordering more from them for all my future occasions!!!

It is amazing how much variety they offer at this small shop, including but not limited to cakes, breads, bubble tea, and other desserts. I like to stop by for a drink when I am nearby. The matcha drinks and house special milk teas are pretty good. I would recommend the Brulee Matcha Shake, which has a smooth and creamy texture and is somehow not overly sweet. Brown sugar boba is the perfect topping to go with this drink.

I finally got to try SusieCakes this weekend and I'm happy to report it was worth the wait! I was…read morein Pasadena so I went to this location but it's nice to know that have multiple locations around the city. The Pasadena location was nice and spacious and very clean and cute. They have a nice large parking space in the back as well. I went on a Sunday around 6:30 pm so it was pretty empty, which was nice. I think the bigger crowds are earlier in the day. They close at 7 pm so I just made it. Luckily they still had a few cupcakes left and plenty of the cakes left. I decided to get a slice of their old fashioned chocolate cake, and 4 cupcakes to go. I got a red velvet, a chocolate, a vanilla, and a mocha cupcake. Everything was delicious but I have to say that the old fashioned chocolate cake slice was my favorite. They give you a ginormous piece too which is nice when you have that craving. All the cakes were very moist and the buttercream was sweet but not crazy sweet which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience. I can't wait to come back again and run some of their other cakes and cupcakes!

If I didn't move to San Diego, she would still be my consistent cake lady. I absolutely love her! When I first ordered, she had followed-up asking if the cakes were up to par with the taste and if they lasted well. I had to say, not only was it pretty to look at - it didn't taste bad either! Usually it's a sacrifice for one or the other! I've ordered over 6+ cakes with her and will definitely continue whenever I'm in the area. The amount of buttercream flavoring choices and real fruit used inside the cake... you really can't go wrong if you order from Karena!

Karena is incredibly talented. I can't even begin to talk about my wonderful experience. I showed her a few pictures of inspiration and she told me what she could and couldn't do. Once we agreed on an inspiration picture and idea she put my specifications to work and low and behold, an absolute masterpiece! The detail on each part of the artwork was outstanding. The person I gifted it to was ecstatic. If you take a look at each picture printed and cut out perfectly, the teacup molded to the perfect size, each colored detail intricately placed, absolutely every single thing done with prose and care. Talk about a passion for what she does. You absolutely won't be disappointed. Talk about a date, talk about a time, and she will work it out with you. She communicates incredibly quickly and will be sure to make you happy!

We got the Berry Summer cake for 5-6 people for $138 and it was worth every bite. The cream is so light, the jam was delicious, and the cake was beautiful. Loved the forks, cake knife, and candles that came with the cake. Pickup was super convenient and flexible and ordering was easy (ordered 2 days prior). Highly recommend! Street parking is easy and there are some tables outside.

I got peach guava and it was refreshing and light, not overly sweet like a lot of birthday cakes tend to be. I also loved the utensils that came with it and the whole unboxing experience. It felt like a lot of thought went into the packaging, not just the cake itself. Only issue is the price is kind of pricey, but it also makes sense given the quality. Not sure if its just me, but the sizing seemed like it could feed more than the selected count, especially if youre a small eater. You can tell this cake is well made and meant for special, unique moments. Would order again for another celebration.
