I want to give Gi & Jo Cakes 5 stars so badly, as I am a repeat customer that has ordered with…read moreBerenice multiple times for work events and for my birthday cake. Those have come out looking and tasting outstanding. However, the reason I am giving a 3 star today is because of my wedding cake experience - which I would deem as the MOST important cake of my life. I did not get the same level of quality nor service that I normally get from her. I know this was a time when she was getting more demand than she was able to keep up with and losing orders and what not. That being said I was very communicative in what I wanted (sent a picture), and when I wanted it by, including the delivery location and time, and she confirmed everything on multiple occasions. Because of past orders, I trusted her 100% to deliver a wonderful product as she always has. Well, when I finally got to see my wedding cake on the day of my wedding, the first thing I noticed was a large bubble on the top layer - sure, this could have happened after delivery, but it was unsightly. This, I could and did get past. The second thing I noticed was the writing N & G looked so ... well not artistic. It was by hand, but did not look very sophisticated or elegant at all, I honestly would have preferred no initials or initials in non-cursive to what we got. I was very disappointed as it looked like it was added in haste, or a young child drew it. The middle layer was a little more gaudy gold that I hoped rather than the champagne gold color in the picture, but I was okay with it. And the last thing I noticed was the color of the top layer. PINK! The picture of the cake I sent was WHITE!!! Why was it Pink? Shocking! So, I tried to forget about the cake and keep enjoying my wedding day, and the cake did taste great. And to her credit, the bottom layer was absolutely gorgeous! So for the wrong color and the bad monogram, I am deducting a star. The other star comes from customer service. I did reach out to her to let her know about the bubble (she mentioned it wasn't there when it was delivered, so that's fine), and the cake color. For the complaint about color, I basically got an "oops" with absolutely no sincere apology nor suggestion for correction. Not even credits towards a future cake. It was this, that has now completely turned me off to ordering with her again. If for my wedding cake, all I got was an "oops", then I feel she did not care about me as a repeat customer whatsoever. This, I could not get past. Bummer, really. Very disappointing.

The cakes…read moreare always beautifully designed and taste just as requested--moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The Strawberry Revenge is my favorite! This small bakery is clean, welcoming, and you can tell a lot of care goes into both the product and the service. Mariella is excellent at communicating and always makes sure everything is just right. I've ordered both cakes and cupcakes, and each time they've exceeded expectations. I highly recommend giving this bakery a try!

Very cute and festive inside. They only had a few options for their slices, which was unfortunate…read more We ended up getting the Chocobombon and the Chococream. The icing was better on the chococream, but the cake was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor to it. On the other hand, the cake part on the chocobombon was moist and the cherry gave a nice flavor, but the icing was way too sweet. Pretty pricey for less than average cakes. I wouldn't recommend coming here.

They have a big variety of cakes all ready to go in their cake display. I chose the chocobombon since they didn't have any all vanilla cakes and this one had some vanilla in it and my husbands favorite is vanilla. I really liked that they had candles and cake decorations as well in the store and I bought a few Birthday embellishments which were all $1 each, great price! The staff was nice but not too friendly when I was trying to find out more about the cakes and flavors, I had to read the labels since she didn't provide me any details. The cake was just okay, it was very dense and a bit dry. The marshmallow frosting was a little thick and the overall flavors were definitely different but not sure I would get this flavor again. I would like to try a few more flavors and maybe a tres leches cake to see how those are. It is located in Chula Vista in a small shopping center, limited parking available.

They had chicken, beef, beef with veg, pork, cheese with chili... maybe forgetting some. I got beef with veg, chicken and cheese. All were very delicious... I think the beef with veg was my favorite, beef was really tender and I made a noise when I bit into it lol I rolled in within their last hour of being open and she still had all varieties available. Super nice lady. I didn't try any of the bakery items, but they also had a lot of those left as well. Everything looked really good. I was tempted to try the raspberry/apricot pastries but didn't go for it... next time! Really nice little shop and I'll be back!!

Easily in my top 3 bakeries in South Bay…read more I bought a cannoli, cheesecake, and tamales for my sister and tried most of them. The cannoli was still super fresh and crispy with some chocolate inside as well. The cheesecake had a whipped cream and almond shavings on the outside with a layer of strawberry jelly on top. It satisfied the cheesecake flavor I needed. The tamales are really good here and never dry. Whenever I would come here, the bean and cheese tamales would usually always be sold out. Today I finally finally got to try one for the first time. It was so good that I wanted to go back inside and buy more, but I had already bought other tamales for my family to work through. Every flavor of tamale will not disappoint you, whether meat or vegetarian. Generally speaking every item here is made with love from these little older ladies. They make everything as though as they're making it for their families because everything tastes like they perfected their craft. They are easy to talk to and I love their customer service every time I come in. They are always joyful here. They now have seating if you want to enjoy your treats there. The area as a whole is not a big cafe, but it gets the job done. The dessert I usually always have to get is the merengues with walnuts. I used to get 10, but now I just get 3 because *health* lol ..

Risa's work does not fall short of expectations. Within a few days of needing a bakery for a…read morewedding reception, we made arrangements for her to make a textured, two-tiered cake with buttercream frosting using 5"/6" cake rounds (the design inspired from Pinterest). The bride and groom asked for carrot cake for the bottom layer and marbled cake on top. Based on the reviews and pictures left on her Yelp page, I was very eager to see the final product and was thrilled when I finally met with her on the day we scheduled for pickup. The cake was perfect and almost an exact replica of picture I had sent her from Pinterest. "Almost" because her cake looked better! It was apparent that Risa took her time to delicately put it together and that baking is a passion for her. She also built a custom box for me to transport it; secured very carefully and thoroughly. Skipping to the wedding reception, it was even more of a surprise when we tasted the cake... especially the carrot cake. Many people (myself included) said it was the best they've ever tasted! Risa guarantees that, "every dessert will... be fresh and delicious" as well as, "visually pleasing in every way". My experience attests to that!

I've been Sylvia's customer for years, and I can't thank her enough for all the beautiful cakes…read moreshe's made for me throughout the years. Every time I order from her, I send her inspiration photos of how I want my cake to look, but when I pick it up, she always exceeds my expectations. From the decorations to the taste and flavor, her cakes are absolutely amazing. Sylvia is one of the kindest people I've ever met, and she truly values her customers. I remember ordering my daughter's 7th birthday cake, but she told me she would be out of state and wouldn't be able to take my order. Even so, she found a way to accommodate my request. She made my daughter's cake before leaving for her vacation just to make sure my daughter would still have her special birthday cake. That kindness is something I'll never forget. Most recently, I ordered my wedding cake from her. Once again, she went above and beyond my expectations. She even made my cake larger than what I had ordered without charging me extra because she wanted to make sure I had enough cake for all of my guests. That level of generosity and thoughtfulness is so rare. Sylvia is the most incredible baker I've ever met. Her cakes are consistently delicious, beautifully designed, and even better than the inspiration photos I send her. Her customer service is exceptional, and she genuinely cares about making every occasion special. I can't thank her enough for all the cakes she's made for me, my children, and my husband over the years. Whether I order months in advance or have a last-minute request, Sylvia always goes above and beyond to make it happen. She consistently exceeds my expectations with her creativity, delicious cakes, and exceptional customer service. I truly can't thank her enough for making every celebration for my family so special. I will continue to support her and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing baker.
