A French bakery hidden in a small shopping center!…read more I happened to find it while looking for a restaurant in that shopping center that is no longer there. They have a large variety of pastries and baked goods. I got a couple of danishes and a muffin for my husband. Everything was yummy. Will definitely return to try others items in the case.

We haven't been here since it's been under new ownership and sadly the quality has gone down. We…read moreused to love the butter and sugar cookies and thought they might be similar to the cookies we used to love, and sadly the flavor just fell short. The prices also are much more expensive, so it's disappointing to pay more for less essentially. It is cute inside, and the designs were still great but sadly, this bakery is not the same and not as delicious. We also asked if they could put buttercream on a sugar cut out cookie, as the old French's used to do that- their buttercream was delicious, and the lady working the register said "I' m sorry, we no longer do that." While I understand this bakery is (unfortunately) not the one that used to be there at this location, I don't understand why buttercream cannot be applied to a cookie.. we are at a bakery aren't we? Aren't bakeries supposed to have buttercream? Quite confusing that that customer service was not there either. A side of frosting to purchase could have been offered or just a small dollop could have been applied but apparently this bakery cannot accommodate a frosting request.

I've never put an order for a cake before so this experience is was all new to me. I went on their…read morewebsite to put in a request for a Napoleon birthday cake with a ganache top. They had a number which I called and the person on the other end gave a number which I could text more details about what I needed, for how many, my name, etc. Since they were driving and couldn't take my order at the moment I made sure to provide as much info and the time/day. I put the order 5 days before I said it needed it and they agreed it can be done by then. I thought it was easy and I just followed it up with the change of topping on the cake. I explicitly stated to text me if they needed anything else from me since I have never done this before. I probably should've followed them up, but I was busy that week. Since I didn't hear anything afterwards I thought I had secured my order. The day I come to pick up the cake, they tell me they don't have the order. The lady who I spoke to, who I'm assuming was on the phone when I initially called, is telling me I put a request not an order and that I didn't even provide my full name (not true, I did). I'm being told that I shouldve put down a deposit and have a contract with them for the cake. I wasn't provided with any contract or a Zelle username. If I had that information I would've absolutely done it. As a business you should provide the customer with that sort of information. I had no idea and I wasn't told that thru text. Should I have followed up? Absolutely, i know that now. There's no information on the website about a contract or deposit information. Only the phone number that I first called. So they should probably update that if they have so many orders and can't keep track with request. There was a lot of deflection from the lady when i tried to explain my grievance. No apology either for the confusion. I felt crazy because I thought I might've missed their messages. Nope nothing. Only the Zelle information after I had arrive there. Luckily, they had puff pastry ready and told me they could have the cake ready in 15 min, and I really needed the cake so I agree to still do business. When I got the cake it was still warm and they told me to freeze it in my refrigerator for it to set. 15 min to get to my place and the ganache has melted off the top and custard had already spilled out from the sides. I had a long drive afterwards and not even an insulated bag could save it. It did taste good, it's too bad about communication, and everything else.

When I arrived, I couldn't commit to just one flavor so I opted to get a variety of cupcakes and I was surprised to see a few that had "Happy Birthday" in cursive with frosting (extra charge -- which I found out afterwards, not a big deal). Tried the mocha, peanut butter, chocolate, red velvet, celebration (vanilla) and strawberry. All flavors were pretty darn delish this was the perfect stop for picking up a birthday cake. Also, was happy that this was in a strip mall so that parking was a breeze. Would definitely come back

The staff are humble and exceedingly friendly which is becoming more and more rare as prices in the OC soar beyond tolerable levels. However if you have a few extra dollars in your pocket, spend them on the lovely chocolate or raspberry cream walnut croissants at this place. Airy and light but flavorful bundles of joy! I also ordered the delectable chocolate cake, which was not too sweet. 4 layers of cake and filling. You can actually taste the chocolate in the light layers. One can still imagine the affection imbued into their baked goods as you enjoy them. Unlike many of the others nearby who have crossed into "it's just a business" mentality. Run don't walk to this hidden gem! I will definitely be a repeat visitor.

They were busy with a lot of Mother's Day weekend rush, but the staff was friendly to everyone with big smiles and they were moving the line along as quickly as possible. I picked up my usual favorite slices: Carrot Cake Slice ($8.49), Tropical Coconut Slice ($8.99), and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Slice ($8.99). They were moist and delicious! Sometimes, the Tropical Coconut can be slightly dry, but it was perfectly moist when I had it this past weekend. They had a really cute May 4th Grogu cake on display and I just think that they not only make delicious cakes, but their cake decorating skills are on point! SusieCakes is worth the splurge!

After waiting for someone to help me, I walk up to the counter and ask if it was possible to pick up a cake that I ordered. The result was the male sales representative with a beard rolling their eyes and yelling at me - what's the last name! I'm positive Mothers Day is a very busy day for you all, but no one should be on the receiving end of that type of sass from anyone, especially after paying close to $100 for a 6" inch cake. It definitely killed the excitement for the gender reveal with this cake tainted with attitude.

One of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. AND I LOVE CHOCOLATE CAKE…read more The cake was incredibly well balanced. It's very easy to make frosting too sweet, but the sugar levels in everything was just right! The cake had a lovely crumb and was moist on the inside. There was a deep, dark chocolate flavor. Sometimes with chocolate cake, the cake can be too rich and fudgy, but this cake did not have this problem. It was such an addicting cake and I could not stop myself from continuing to eat it. Again, it was well balanced, flavorful, had a good mouthfeel, and not too sweet. PERFECTION! Additionally, the party was a space themed party so we asked for a space-themed cake and the cake was SO CUTE. If I need cake for an event again, I will definitely order from here. And I will definitely be ordering the chocolate cake again!!!

It was just what I had in mind- to get a variety of a dozen and have one be the birthday cake. I called to place an order in advance and Kaitlyn told me I could just go into the store and pick the ones I want. I wasn't sure if she would have that many selections upon entering the store but she did! They offered awesome deals. If you buy a dozen for $62, you'd get two extra complimentary cupcakes and I got an extra pupcake for purchasing 2 at $1.99 each! I appreciated that Laurel noted this place is dog friendly. I had Ocean with me and Kaitlyn was so welcoming and sweet to her. She gave me a small tray to serve Ocean a pupcake with and Ocean inhaled it in one bite! I also didn't realize the paper was still on it. Whoops! Ocean did not seem to mind and loved the carrot cake and peanut butter frosting. They are baked daily so it's recommended that they be refrigerated if you'd like to keep them for a few days. As for the human cupcakes, we got: Birthday Cake Wedding Cake Chocolate Dream Choco Biscoff Sunny Carrot Peanut Butter Cup Hot Fudge Sundae Salted Caramel Crunch Chocolate Cream Cookies n Cream Strawberry Lemon Red Velvet Pink Vanilla I got to try the Birthday Cake, Wedding Cake, Pink Vanilla and Hot Fudge Sundae. I thought they were going to be on the lighter, less sweet side because it's Asian owned, but the frosting is on the sweeter, heavier side. The cakes are moist and sweet as well. I especially liked the birthday cake with confetti in it and sprinkles. They are big and well worth the $! Super cute inside too!

Wonderful bakery! Most delicious cakes, cupcakes and goodies! I highly recommend!read more
