Susie Cakes is always such a treat. Either DoorDash or walk-in. The staff is always super nice and the location is clean and has that retro tech vibe which I love. To my surprise, the flourless chocolate has become my favorite! It's like a fudge cupcake! read more

Super nice staff! Redeemed my free birthday cake slice here and it was delicious as usual. Cute interior and moist sweet celebration cake and they even offered a complimentary marble cake slice which was very tasty. Location is in a plaza and next to Gott's where you can get lunch or dinner then come here for dessert! read more

We placed a big order (5 dozen cupcakes, cookie tray and smash cake) with SusieCakes in Marin for my daughters first birthday and had a great experience! I called to confirm the order with staff the day before pickup, and everything was all set. Order was ready and packed up at 10 a.m. (when they opened) on the day of the party. Everyone of course loved the cupcakes and cookies and left with a sufficient sugar high. :) Would definitely use SusieCakes again. read more

I needed something for a friends birthday and knew I liked Susie Cakes from visits in other cities. I was greeted enthusiastically when I walked in which is nice first thing in the morning. I asked a few questions and decided on a vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting. The girl wrapped it up and said it would be okay for the hour drive I had ahead. She was right. I gave it to my friend and everyone was happy. Thanks again Susie cakes for another delicious dessert! read more

After a fantastic meal at the restaurant "Fish", we stopped here to get something sweet for the road. This must have been a common occurrence because we had seen several familiar faces from the last restaurant. The cakes we got were delicious. My only small critique would be that the coconut cake should be named pineapple coconut cake and not "Tropical Coconut Cake" because I have a family member who is seriously allergic to pineapple. For safety, maybe put it on the little cake note. The only reason I knew it had pineapple is because I asked. BB read more

Took a chance & preordered a 6" Red Velvet cake for my husband's birthday. I will be honest & say it was a splurge so I was really hoping for a delicious result! When we arrived an hour early to pick up, a lovely employee was just writing the message on the cake so it was perfect timing. It was SO delicious & although we don't live in the area, I will use the Lafayette location from now on. The cake would certainly feed 10-12 even though 6" sounds small. It was moist, not overly sweet & simply divine. The frosting wasn't skimpy either. Now I want to try the other cakes! read more

Suziecakes is freaking amazing. You can't go wrong with a single choice you make here. Things to know before you go, they do not accept cash here. This is the the moistest (is that a word? Whatever!) cake you will ever eat in your life. They offer full cakes, cake slices & cupcakes on a regular with extras thrown in like brownies, cookies & lemon bars at different times. They have a monthly specialty. This month was one of my favorites, German chocolate cake & it knocked me off my feet. My favorite is actually an occasional pop-in, the mocha cupcake. I wish to death they would have & carry their dog treats regularly. I was able to get these for my girl one time & she absolutely loved them. read more

First time at Susie Cakes. Leah and the staff were so very welcoming. I came in at 1300 on a Friday afternoon. I was fortunate to have the patisserie all to myself. The patisserie was very clean and all the glass and chrome were quite polished. The cakes and desserts were labeled and easy to read. Leah delivered the old fashioned customer service from mid 20th century. She was gregarious, polite, presentable, professional, well mannered and quite lovely to chat with. All of the patisseries acquired from my first visit to Susie Cakes were delicious. Desserts tasted remarkable because of the ingredients and Susie Cakes recipes. Everything was very fresh and so very delightful. Thank you Leah and staff at Susie Cakes. read more

Recently revisited SusieCakes when I picked up some things for when we visited guests. I'm usually an all-chocolate dessert eater, but this visit reminded me how good the lemon cake is. It's so good, in fact, it's one of the main things a friend of mine who moved back to NY misses about the Bay Area. We all know SusieCakes for the cupcakes, but the cookies are also really good. Bakery large cookies are often disappointingly dry, but the chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies are perfectly chewy even at the end of the day. This is still one of the Bay Area's best choices for birthday and other special (or even not-special) occasion sweets! read more

First time visiting Susie Cakes was for a Too Good to Go surprise bag. Our bag included one slice each of chocolate cake and lemon cake, and 8 vanilla cupcakes, so a great value. The cake slices were huge! The cake was moist and icing the right level of sweetness. The cupcakes were a little drier and less exciting in flavor, but to be expected for vanilla and TGTG. The service was quick, and while the store was closing down the space was large and inviting. read more

I just had THE most delicious pumpkin spice cupcake. Perfect proportions. I would post a pic, but I didn't have a chance to take one!!!

Always a treat when I come here! Came here for the special Pineapple Upside Down flavor cupcake. Left with some others, as well! The others were also the special Sno-Cone cupcake (very colorful), lemon (my favorite), and the classic Red Velvet. All were delicious, and the pineapple actually had chunks of pineapple in the cake itself! Quite a surprise. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but the special flavor offerings and even the good old standbys are worth an occasional for myself and my family. Heaven help me if I don't bring them their favorites! read more

My first time at SusieCakes and it did not disappoint! Right when we walked in, the staff greeted us and asked us if we had any questions as we were browsing. I wasn't sure what I wanted, but I really wanted to try one of their cupcakes. I decided to get the Strawberry Rose and 7-Layer Bars. The cupcake was very dense and the buttercream paired perfectly with the cake. The bar was chewy and I tased bits of coconut with each bite. I can't wait to try other items next time! read more

I had a horrible experience I have gone in store to order cupcakes with a employee her name was Emily s the day of pick up for the cupcakes I had called ahead to ask if I can pick up the cupcakes when I spoke to the employee on the phone they said my order was ready for pick up when I went to pic the up they said they had no idea were my order was that they don't have a order under my name that there was no order received even though Emily was there that day and was the one that took my order they need to improve on there customer service they don't know has to solve problems they need to be retrained at the end we did and up getting our order but they dident know how to handle that issue do better read more

They always come through for any occasion(s), always a huge hit at birthday parties. It's so easy to order online via their website, then pick it up. They have a section for pick-ups and voila! The staff are friendly and attentive, no RBF's here lol. They're willing to help customers the moment you walk in. All their cakes and cupcakes are divine. If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to be. There's plenty of parking at Bon Air shopping center, and everything is one-stop shopping. Get lunch at Gott's next door, get your groceries at Mollie Stone's, get some necessities at CVS, get your pet food at Woodlands, etc. These days, SusieCakes is closed on Monday and Tuesday, so don't order your cakes for pickup on those days. I hope they bring back their delicious pies and whoopie pies. 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

I foolishly paid close to six bucks for **THE DRIEST** cupcake EVER (not to mention from a rather pretentious and rude employee behind the counter--or maybe they were just having a bad day? Still). I loved when SusieCakes opened their Marin location several years ago now, but wow, they've gone downhill. read more

Bought a whole Celebration cake for a birthday. It was dry and hard! Almost flavorless. Clearly had been frozen. Think the family affair with Suzy's is over. Stuck with over half an expensive dry, flavorless hump of cake. You use to be the place to go. read more

Love coming to the location in Marin County, there's so much more eateries around! Their location has plenty of parking and so much selection in the display case I also like that they do Apple Pay!

Cake Heaven. "A party without a cake is just a meeting." -- Julia Child My friends and I came upon SusieCakes after grocery shopping. The display of cakes caught our eyes and we had to walk in! This gem is Literally like a cake candy store! The cakes are beautiful, the cookies are large, and the cupcakes are colorful. The store embodies Nostalgic Impressions of traditional home made treats! Just so welcoming. Staff: wonderful and friendly! Love the way they take the time to package your items into lovely blue boxes which are wrapped in white bows. Stop in and find yourself In Cake Heaven. read more

I can't say enough great things about SusieCakes, but what truly keeps me coming back--aside from the delicious red velvet cake--is the amazing customer service, especially from Kalie! She goes above and beyond to make every visit special, always greeting customers with a warm smile and genuine kindness. It's rare to find someone who makes you feel so welcomed and valued, and Kalie does just that. Her attentiveness and friendly personality make the experience just as sweet as the treats. SusieCakes is lucky to have her, and because of her, I'll keep coming back for more! read more

I'd like to start by saying the staff on hand handled the situation with grace and did the best to their ability to accommodate me. So this review is less about the staff on hand and more about management/the company. I ordered a cake with the same-day pick up and added a custom description that said "love you forever and ever". When I got there, I asked to see the cake to make sure the description was correct. This was for the first birthday after my grandma's passing to honor her. To my disbelief, the writing on the cake was absolutely not the standard of a Susie cake. I asked the staff on hand why the writing on the cake was so different from the other cakes in the case. The staff on hand said the baker had already left and the only one left to do the writing on the cake was the retail staff who don't know how to do the typical writing. The writing was amateur and very sloppy. If the baker leaves at a certain time, custom writing on a cake should be eliminated off the order. To pay $60 for 6 inch cake and to not have the writing standard that I deserve, is unacceptable, distasteful and is giving money hungry. If I would've known the writing would've been like this, I would've happily gone somewhere else and plan ahead next time. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

Susie cakes strawberry berry cake is in! my favorite, i went to pick it up and to my surprise, it was packaged in a BOWL. Very disappointing, I wont be buying it after all, small bowl for $8?? Bowl vs Slice, the cake is advertised as a slice and should be sold, as a slice, read more

My cake tasted a little old. They need to do better. beautiful looking cakes but taste mediocre

Yesterday's purchase of 4 various flavors of cake translated into endless dismay. As a baker and someone who knows good cake crumb (Rubicon bakery), yesterday's cake batter was heavy, dry, laden with air holes, and the frosting was cloying and dry! Dry!!! I know Susie cakes from Orange County and S CA in general. I've no idea what happened yesterday, but it was glaringly clear to me that someone horrible made those baked goods. It's very awful to state even a Safeway cake would have bested some cake for dessert at a family get-together. Could not believe the experience. read more

I've always wanted to try this shop, and I have to say, it was extremely expensive and not up to par with the prices. With that written; the banana pudding was delightful and my niece loved her shamrock sugar cookie. It's in a busy location, and I know a lot of people love this place. I love cupcakes, but didn't try one, I might try again another time. The woman who helped us was very friendly and helpful. read more

Visited this shop last week when I was in the area. This company hasn't been on my radar, but if this store is anything to go by ... IM A FAN! I got 3 flavors to share with friends: Strawberry, Lemon & Pineapple Upside Down. I love lemon, but I'm picky. Lemon desserts have to have a tartness to them and this had the perfect balance of flavors. The Strawberry was good, but not remarkable; however, I've not had a better non-fresh strawberry icing. The Pineapple was the bomb!!! It's been almost a week now and it's probably a good thing I don't live closer or I'd be there like every other day. The fellow waiting on me was super nice and said I could get a free cupcake as it was my first visit to their store: not sure this was legit or he was just being kind - I have the grandma vibe going for me. The chocolate was perfect, but as a confined chocoholic, choosing between it and the pineapple would be hard! The cake itself for all the cupcakes had great flavor, and the crumb was what you strive for when baking. Frosting tastes like real BUTTER cream. I've not looked into the facts though, so can't verify. Their layer cakes looked incredible and I have to try a slice sometime - hopefully soon. Check them out! read more

Amazing! Amazing cupcakes, moist delicious cakes, friendly fellows who work there, clean spot, fair prices and the best seasonal specials!!! We are so lucky to have Susie Cakes around. read more

Thanks to SusieCakes for another holiday success! Given the disruption of life this year, it was wonderful to have one tradition executed perfectly. Their pumpkin pie is just as I wanted it to be - flaky crust, pumpkin filling that isn't too sweet and housemade whipped cream to top it all off. We also decided to try their pumpkin cheesecake this year and not only did it have that delicious graham cracker crust that I crave, but the sour cream topping that they ice it with sets it off beautifully. Thanks to the team at Bon Air for having everything ready when I arrived to pick them up and for handling social distancing and the new normal precautions with grace. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. read more

For the girl (potentially woman- so sorry not certain!) who was super kind and sweet a few months back assisting me at the counter. My overall review is due to the following: I was on an excruciating time slot, yet was patiently informed that Susie Cakes does NOT take cash. To be frank, there was no genuine feeling in my body of having any form of self-confidence within it. Yet, as I became even humiliated at the fact I only had cash; the person assisting me did NOT allocate any attention to my insecurities in those moments. Instead, she displayed a supportive demeanor and helped me deliver my goal of giving my client their "Thank You" cupcakes. Just by this small action of non-nonchalance and a quick problem resolution, my company has been ordering holiday sweets from this Susie Cakes since! Something to further highlight: In my first and third person observations and direct experiences, any company can have a great product or service. Yet, it is those whom take it upon themselves to maintain a perpetual sense of sentimental and competent collaboration, that truly thrive. For acts like this one, businesses like these will start bringing in clients whom not only reciprocate what they are given, but they'll make sure to add some interest in return! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your quick mediation and kindness. You turned an anxiety filled afternoon into a sweet one! read more

Yet another cupcake chain, and far be it from me to complain. The world arguably needs more cupcakes, and to address that we all need more willpower. Or a fork. Yes, I will be the one with the fork. A cute retro styled shop full of pastel confetti colors and great branding. Moist cake, very sweet buttercream filling, and your regular cupcake flavors: white cake with buttercream, chocolate cake with chocolate or vanilla buttercream, a red velvet with cream cheese frosting, and usually one or two seasonal flavors. At the holidays, a thin mint with chocolate and peppermint or an eggnog. In the new year, banana cake with chocolate pieces topped with vanilla buttercream. They don't have quite as many flavors as other cupcake shops I've loved, but since those shops are in other cities and not in Marin, I will try to find some gratitude and learn to accept these cupcakes in whatever format they come in. In addition to $4 cupcakes (a little less, but rounding up) they also have birthday or celebratory cakes for ordering, at fairly steep (about 50 dollars and up) Marin-style pricing for a small cake. They also sell very large saucer sized cookies, including chocolate chip and snickerdoodles. read more

The staff here gets 5 stars. They are all so sweet, even the day before Easter when the crowds are crazy, they still took the time to help me and were patient and kind. They were set up to manage the volume of order pick ups for Easter and I think they had a good system in place. Even without a pre order I was able to order a few things on the spot. Very sweet staff and will be back! read more

I placed an order online in the morning, needed the cake the same day and it was done with everything I needed. With only 24 hours notice there are certain cakes that are not available but plenty that are. I got exactly what I wanted with the colors, plus candles and napkins I forgot to buy. It was perfect. The cake itself was moist, the icing was amazing. Thank you so much! read more

I absolutely hate to leave bad reviews, but I feel like people need to be warned. Stopped here for 4 cupcakes ((2 strawberry and 2 mint chocolate) and a cookie to share. When I say that was the driest vanilla cupcake I've ever had, it's not an exaggeration. It had to have been old? Not sure. I took a small bite and threw the rest away. The strawberry buttercream tasted old as well. I understand not wanting to throw away unsold product (pure speculation but I'm assuming with how dry the cake was and the weird texture of the buttercream that was the situation). I have no problem paying premium price for a premium product, but this was not that. When you're charging $5 for a small cupcake, you should put your best cupcake forward. Maybe sell the old ones as day olds and discount them? The chocolate was slightly better, but again most went into the trash. Even my roommate who has a huge sweet tooth said it was disgusting and threw them away. The cookie was unremarkable. I will say customer service was really good and packaging was cute, (even though putting them in a box with no dividers means they move around and get messed up) which makes leaving a bad review even harder! read more
