This place is a true hidden gem. They have wonderful tres leches cakes at a fantastic price. I thought getting my mom her birthday cake here would be very expensive due to how much we were adding and customizing and were pleasantly surprised to find that for such a large cake with so many add ons it was extremely affordable. read more

Delicious ready made tres leches cakes! Very moist, but could use more fruit imo. The buttercream is excellent ratio to the cake. I think I was looking for more sweetness from the condensed milk overall. I want to try their leche flan. Many customizable options, so definitely will try this next time! Great service and easy location to find in a small plaza. read more

Ordered chocolate cake with strawberries. Pretty pricey cakes. Received a cake with almost no strawberries very disappointed in how customer service was handled. In no way apologetic not even a refund given after they asked to show proof of receipts. Told I would hear back from them never did. Not the great bakery it used to be. read more

Love this bakery Beautiful art on the pastries and the most Delicious fillings too! you're always greeted with a smile as you go through the door On top of all those great things their location is right off highway 12 ,so convenient if your just even passing through Santa Rosa read more

I love their work and their cakes. They're so delicious. I would definitely go back and buy again.

Came in looking for a tres leche cake and I ended up choosing one different than the lady pointed out to me and I had no idea it was chocolate cake with maybe coffee filling tres leche? But it was the bestttt surprise it was soooo good everyone was amazed. read more

Best Tres Leches cake with fruits in the filling! They put strawberries, peaches and pineapple in the filling, topped with whipped icing that's fluffy and not too sweet. They have it ready inside the cooler. If you want the chocolate raspberry cake, you have to order it in advance. But they have Tres Leches, Pinacolada and Cookies N' Cream cakes ready daily. We come here everytime we pick up stuff at Imwalle Gardens, it's on the same street between Dave's Market and the Cleaners. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would, I am sad to write this review because my family has been buying cakes from cristina's for a long time but sadly they disappointed my sister on her BIG DAY. We had asked for a BLUE BABY SHOWER CAKE, and received this monstrosity, I don't know what the message is with the BLACK FROSTING but it looks hideous. My sister's mother in law called in to complain and the lady on the phone hung up on her!!! They didn't even offer a refund or apologized for ruining the center piece of my sisters FIRST baby shower. Will never be coming back again and will never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Used to get their cakes for years, but I think the owner changed. Last time I went to get a cake a month and a half ago, I arrived at 10:30 as their hours state they open at 10. They were closed and I even waited for 15min before leaving. I later called and asked what kind of cakes they had and they had a fruit cake. This is the second time I got a cake from here within a two week span. They both had a ton of frosting which is hard to wipe off if the coloring ends up on skin. And the "fruit" was a couple pieces of peach and strawberries. I've been very disappointed with these last two cakes, can't say I'll be buying from them again. Oh and don't expect a refund or at the very least an apology. They're really rude and you have to return the cake entirely which is hard when guests are expecting cake. read more

Give a cake order two weeks ago and even before picking up called two hours ago. The main lady said it was ready. Went with HUGE excitement. Huge disappointment. Cake was not ready and I was very sad. Instead of accepting the unfinished work, the lady said "Take your money if you don't like the cake?" Like seriously!!! Hellooo It's a birthday today. No apology what so ever. I hope karma hits the crappy bakery business real hard and horrible human being. INHUMAINE. I even spoke Spanish. Very well. I believe in giving second chances but they keep on disappointing like no shit! read more

The mocha cake is excellent, best cake in Sonoma county that I have tried for years, keep going back to them

Cake was dry, the strawberries tasted spoiled, the whipped cream around the cakes was kinda dry, I almost wanted to say this cake was made two or three days ago definitely not made yesterday or today, was read more

I first heard about this hidden gem when a coworker of mine took me here to pick up cake a couple of times for work baby showers she was hosting. The tres leches cakes were a hit (and I got to take home the leftovers--yum). With my previous positive experiences, I came here Sunday morning to make a last minute order of tres leches cake for a coworker's baby shower. For those who are worrying about a language barrier--rest assured, English is fine! The parking lot was fairly empty, and as others have mentioned, the shopping center is somewhat non-descript. The shop is nestled in a corner next to Dave's Market. The inside of the shop has a little refrigerator where you can see cakes on display. I ordered two 1/2 sheet tres leches fruit basket cakes (one chocolate raspberry and one vanilla). There were quite a few flavors offered--chocolate mocha seemed to be the most popular. The price was very reasonable for the size, quality, and time frame. So, I ordered the two cakes Sunday morning, asking for them to be ready at 7:00PM the next day, knowing full well that this was a last-minute order and that they had tons of other orders to fill, based on the order sheets tacked on the wall behind the counter. I come in at 7:00PM the next day. Cristina is still finishing up my cake, but I tell her that there's no rush at all. Fifteen minutes later, she comes out with a HUGE gorgeously decorated cake--much larger than the 1/2 sheet sample she had shown me on Sunday. I stare in disbelief, thinking that maybe she was mixing me up for someone else, or maybe had gotten the wrong cake--but no: She had made the half-sheet into a full-sheet as an apology for not having the cakes ready right on time. She then even helped with loading up the cakes and making sure that they weren't going to get smushed in the car. A really, really nice lady, and really nice people who run the shop. So sweet! As for the cakes themselves, the decorations were great--I didn't really know what was appropriate, so I just gave Cristina the go-ahead to decorate at her own discretion. I loved the "stork on a cloud" that she did! The cream frosting wasn't too sweet like supermarket cake frosting, and the inside fruits were fresh and plentiful. The three milks gave the cake a moist, yummy texture (in fact, I'm eating some leftovers right now). What can I say? This is probably the staple cake that we're going to have at every party from here on out. P.S. Sometimes they have flan in the fridge---not the silky Kozy Shack kind of flan, but the creamier, thicker Mexican (?) kind. It is really, really tasty as well! read more

This is the cake I purchased on Thursday aug 13 and I could not believe that the girl that works there was rude and wrote this horrible wiring on our cake looks like a kid wrote it the owner is nice Cristina she needs to find workers that love working with cakes because they don't they can to provide more skills on decorating and there Attitude when I called her was not polite at all for a paying customer I would not give this shop any recommendations for a special occasion how are you gonna post pictures with this writing it just kills the whole cake read more

Not bad at all! Actually pretty good flavor, and great service. Good prices too! I used to buy cakes at Olilvers and Whole Paycheck too, and yeah, it is a given they can put some good stuff together but it is often a hit-n-miss. For a consistent, reasonable alternative go here now. No need to wait for the next birthday. read more

Amazing cake! I called on Sunday @ 7:45, looking for a celebratory desert for my wife's completion of the 70.3 IronMan/VineMan. The owner answered and agreed to let me come down even though he was technically closed. My wife and I are pretty much cake snobs. The Mango Tres Leches (Three Milk) cake was absolutely perfect. Most, with mango flavor accenting the cream seamlessly. Owner went out of his way to make sure, he could write something to fit the occasion, even though he was already staying late to accommodate my situation. Great product, with amazing customer service deserve 6 stars! Although we live in Pleasanton, we will come back for more cake in the future! Kudos! read more

The Tres Leche Cake with chocolate mocha, was the most delicious cake I've had in a long time. We purchased the 10" cake for my brother's 50th birthday and it was a hit! The cake was delicious and beautiful. I look forward to the next time I get to indulge in this cake! A++!!! read more

This place is shocking and not professional. Had a wedding cake made. First it was never not ready. Was lopsided and icing was literally melting whip cream all soft. Cake was ok not good at all! The design looked like a child scribbled avoid this place. read more

they made a cake gender reveal and put two little shoes in just one color, obviously spoiled the reveal. so not profesional place.

For my daughter's first birthday party, we wanted to have a Mexican Fiesta theme, so I did a little Yelp searching to find a good Tres Leches cake in SR. Holy moly -- this cake was the talk of the party. So much so that people are still talking about it a year later and I literally am making this year's party theme be CAKE. No joke. Cristina was extremely helpful and patient as I had tons of questions about the size, fillings, etc., etc...she was always very sweet and a total pro. I can't wait to work with her again this year and eat that amazing CAKE again! read more

Ordered a quarter-sheet cake. Quite inexpensive for a THREE-layer custard and white cake. Couldn't even fit in the box. The cake is *very* moist and wasn't too sugary. Just right. The cake texture is coarse, but that's a good thing! read more

Love the tres leches cake. Always smooth, fresh and light. Nothing heavy and no aftertaste in the mouth like so many cakes. What a treat!!!! read more

We went to a party where a cake from this bakery was served. I make all my cakes from scratch & do not give compliments on cakes easily (mostly because most of the cake served is clearly from a box) & did not expect much when trying this cake...but it far exceeded any expectations I had! We were served a mango tres leches cake. The frosting was not overly sweet & complimented the cake perfectly. The mango inside the filling was a bonus! I was also told that they paid around $75 & Safeway charges $55 for their junky cake of comparable size- I'd much rather pay the extra 20 & upgrade to this cake (not to mention that Christina's cake is also taller, giving you more bang for your buck)! Dreaming of the next party...or maybe I'll just go in there & order a small one for me...er...I mean, my "family" :) read more

Great place with awesome cake! Got a tiny tres leches cake for my best friend for $10 and she LOVED it! Excellent whipped cream frosting and really quick service! Definitely grab a cake from here if you're a tres leches fan! read more

I got a pre-made tres leches chocolate raspberry cake for $28. It was beautifully decorated and delicious. I would give five stars if the interior of the place wasn't so junky and unappealing. I have no complaints about the product or price. I will be back and will recommend this place to others! read more

My brother in law ordered a cake for my nephews bday. Door and fb page both say they open at 10. Must be 10 in another time zone bc we showed up at 10:10 and they weren't open. How unprofessional- I would understand if I got there at 9:59 and they weren't open, even 10:05 but we waited until at 10:20 and then decided it wasn't worth our time. You're a local business, have some respect for your community and be open when you say you're gonna be open. read more

Great service and even better cake, I called at 11:30 am to see if they could make a custom cake for my parents 15th wedding anniversary that evening and it was ready by 1:30 pm, not to mention the cake was reasonably priced and tasted great!!! Highly recommend read more

Really bad service I asked for a specific time and they didn't have my sons birthday cake ready for his photo shoot really bad never coming here again. read more

Cake is more expensive than it use to be with the old owner. It is also much sweeter than it use to be. I hate to say that after almost 15 years I will no longer be a patron here anymore. read more

Great tres leches cake but they have really bad customer service. I wanted a cake for my bf called ahead of time was put on hold and then they ended up hanging up on me. Went in person only to find a handwritten note that says will be back in 15min (in spanish). Waited outside for about 15 min and no one ever showed up. Probably won't go back. read more
