I…read morewas looking to gift custom cookies for an event I was hosting and Miriam was a delight to work with. I placed a custom sugar cookie order on Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop's website and heard back within 24 hours. We discussed additional design and delivery logistics over email. Miriam is super thorough and was so considerate of my ever-changing requests. I landed on 2 dozen-- 8 sets of 3 custom cookies each. On delivery day, the cookies were delivered promptly within my requested window. She even included extras which I was so grateful for-- they were devoured immediately (so. good.). I assumed that the cookies would be bundled in a simple cellophane bag, but these were individually wrapped and THEN carefully packaged in these adorable boxes. Just above and beyond. Everyone was raving about the cookies that night! My pics don't do these cookies justice :') They're so beautiful and well-made, melts in your mouth and just the right amount of sweet. The design was perfect. Thank you to Miriam!!! Hope to work with you again for more events :)

I was…read morelooking for a bakery in the Walnut Creek area who could do character-themed cakes and didn't actually find that many until I found Carmen's business. Our requirements were not high...just needed a themed cake to serve about 25. Not only did Carmen do an amazing job decorating it exactly how we wanted, but the cake actually tasted amazing! We wanted a basic white/vanilla cake with berries. It actually tasted better than the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly cake (which is my favorite). Please go to Carmen for all your cake needs! After COVID she now runs her business out of her home and could use all the support! She is a lovely lady!

Le Gâteau Élégant Bakery…read more I really like this place. The princess cake is good...very pretty and well made ...and the staff is helpful and kind. This is an old establishment that used to be in Martinez, which brings back memories for me. When I was in high school, my best friend's dad used to drive to Martinez to get her a princess cake every year for her birthday. I was instantly hooked. Is it as great as the princess cake from the city? Not quite. But it's still wonderful, classic, and nostalgic, and I'm really glad they're still around

I live in this neighborhood so I can get to Full Belly Bakery within a 15 minute walk. There are a…read morebunch of different bakery options in the area, this place is added to the mix. They're in a location that used to be a Subway. I've only have their cookies, I'm a sucker for good cookies. I particularly recommend their Peanut Butter Miso (a flavor I don't think you can get at a lot of places, sweet savory), and Ginger Molasses. I've also been supporting them because they're part of the Rewards Network Dining. I subscribe to the program to get Alaska/Atmos points on qualified dining, and I'm trying to get as many points as I can, so dining with restaurants as part of that program is helpful. You can order full cakes as well as they have slices avaialble for purchase. I got a tiramisu slice for my mom, which she said she liked. Good addiiton to the neighorhood.

I'm a total cake lover, so I was excited to try Full Belly bakery. I was surprised to see that it…read morewas not a full service bakery, and there was no inside seating. Their primary focus appears to be on their special order cakes-which look amazing. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. After asking a few questions, I decided on the Passion Coco cake($5) and the Brown Sugar Pecan scone ($3.50). I enjoyed the Passion Coco cake slice. The coconut, passion fruit, and strawberry flavors worked well together, although the passion fruit flavor was very subtle. The sponge was cake moist, and the butter cream was spot on with its melt-in-your-mouth creamy texture. The Brown Sugar Pecan scone was good, but it had more of a dense muffin texture than a traditional scone, and the flavors were a bit muted. They did not skimp on the pecans though, which was nice. I would have enjoyed bolder flavors and a more traditional scone texture. Overall, I found that the walk in options are limited, but a great spot for locals to stop in and pick up tasty baked goods-and I would definitely order one of their beautiful and delicious looking cakes for a special occasion.
