I am going to update my review to 5 star and order another cake from this place. After my first review, they contacted me and let me know that should not have happened and that is really unfortunate! This is a great customer service and I understand that things happen! So I appreciate they reaching out to me and I will give them another shot! Thank you for the generous offer! read more

SusieCakes has always been a favorite of ours so when it came time to find a cake for our wedding, we knew we wanted the fabulous Celebration cake from SusieCakes! Our wedding was up in Petaluma, CA so the closest SusieCakes is the shop in Greenbrae. The staff there is super helpful and spent ample time with me brainstorming design, frosting choices, etc. I felt like I was in great hands the whole time. On the day-of, the cake was everything I wanted. Tasted delicious and looked terrific! Would highly recommend SusieCakes and especially this location. read more

The best chocolate cupcake I've ever had. And I've been around a while. Seriously, it's a good thing I live an hour away, or I'd be eating them all the time. Go there. Go today. read more

I was refused service because I needed to pay with cash. There are no signs on the windows, door or counter saying that this business does not accept legal tender for payment. The national emergency ended some time ago. Their competitors accept cash for payment and any farmers market is happy to take my money. I cannot support a business that discriminates this way. They refused me service and stood there smirking at me like I was a worthless peasant. How can this be acceptable? read more

I like cupcakes. I like the cupcakes here for the sheer fact that they actually taste homemade. Like the buttercream frosting for example... where it starts to harden over cause you didn't eat the cupcake the minute you got it... like a homemade cupcake would come out with. None of this fake piled high frosting where its smooth and pipped... but like frosting you make at home if you ACTUALLY in the mood to bake (who has time for that?). Their flourless chocolate cupcake hit me in the face with it chocolatey goodness. No weak sauce chocolate cupcakes here. It was strong... just how like my chocolate cupcakes to taste. It left me wanting more. Good thing this place is about a hour and 20 minutes out from me... or else I would have gone an gotten another one... or 2 for the week. read more

I have had friends mention how great SusieCakes is for literal years, and I have no idea why it took me so long to try them. But when it came time to order a cake for our wedding this past February, we decided to head to their shop and give it a try. First of all, it is absurd how expensive wedding cakes and cupcakes normally are. I looked up about a dozen bakeries and catering folks looking for someone to make us a very modestly sized cake with about 100 cupcakes that wouldn't break the bank. Everywhere we looked, things were so pricey and the one other cake shop we went to try cupcakes at, the cake was stale and frosting was overpowering. Then we went to SusieCakes and pretty much my entire life changed. The folks at the in person store were super nice, and we got a slice of marble cake and a selection of different cupcakes to take home and taste. It was a religious experience eating that cake, y'all. I reached out over email the next day and they had a coordinator that immediately sent us the EXTREMELY REASONABLE PRICING. Like, whew boy, they do not upcharge just because you are having a wedding, it is the price you would expect when you order a cake and some cupcakes rather than having to give your first born child over for sweets. Their coordinator was easy to work with, we did everything over email, and we selected a marble cake with chocolate frosting, and 100 cupcakes (half chocolate, half vanilla). They even sent us pictures of all the sprinkle options they had so we could choose the cupcake sprinkles. It was great. Day of, they offered delivery and dropped everything off at the venue. Folks loved the cupcakes, and the very few we had left over we brought into work a few days later and they were legit still moist and good. The cake was beyond delicious, I literally dream of that cake and can't wait for my birthday to order another one haha. We are so glad we went with them, def order your cake from here folks. read more

We ordered a custom birthday cake. It was not good. We didn't even finish one piece. Very disappointing.

Omg I really don't know where to start everything is truly amazing from the cupcakes to the sliced cakes.. I truly could get one of each.. I have been there numerous times always very good with everything... definitely the best bakery around the entire bay... read more

Ever since my friend introduced me to SusieCakes red velvet cake, I was in love! This has been my favorite red velvet for years now, and when I got engaged, I knew that this is what I wanted for my wedding cake. I scheduled a cake tasting just to try out other combos of cake and frosting. This was a quick and fun activity! We were able to pick out the design of our 3-tiered cake along with flavors for the mini-cupcakes that we wanted to serve as well. The pricing was very affordable, and the staff was very quick to respond to any additional questions I had over email. I got married almost a year ago, and since then, I've still gone back for birthday cakes, cookies, and cupcakes. The snickerdoodle cookies are so delicious! My baby shower cake was even ordered from here because my friends know how much I love the red velvet. SusieCakes will always be my go-to spot for delicious desserts! read more

Cupcakes are quite good, icing is excellent. Kinda pricey $3.50 and up for a cupcake and no discount offered if you purchase a dozen! Most I have been to offer a discount upon purchase of 1 dozen. The people that work there are not very friendly either, they don't even smile. I have been in twice now and received the same treatment from two different employees. That's why I had to write a review about it. Cupcake's r good but for that price I don't enjoy spending my hard earned money at a place that treats me like I am a burden. I will go to other establishments for cupcakes that are just as good if not better and have friendly employees! read more

After hearing many positive things about SusieCakes, I was excited to make my first visit. I've had desserts from there before from friends but I wanted to try it for myself in person. My friend and I split a Strawberry cupcake. We bit into it and looked at one another confused - it was quite dense and not moist. We were also contemplating if they were not fresh which would give it that dried out consistency? I also ordered one Seasonal Special PB&J and one Mocha cupcake hoping it would be better. However, those were equally dense and dry - the aroma & flavor of the frosting (somewhat) made up for it. The staff were very friendly and prices were reasonable though. There's a wide selection of cakes, ENORMOUS cookies, cupcakes (big & small)...definitely something for everyone. I also liked the self serve water / utensils / sample station. In terms of seating, it's more a grab & go type spot. We managed to grab one of the outside tables. It was beautiful out so it worked out quite nicely. I would return to try the cake & maybe the cookies but the cupcakes were too underwhelming for me. (CupKates, Cupcakin, Feel Good is where it's at y'all) Considering all the SusieCakes locations are out of the way for me, I would probably only go again if I was in the area. read more

We went to Susie Cakes Bakery for their 4th birthday party on Sat 8/7/10 from 1-4. We got there about 5 min before 4pm so we got to get some 40c cookies, regular price $2. I got 1 chocolate chip & 1 snickerdoodle. Each cookie was huge! Chocolate chip had lots of chocolates in it. Both tasted just ok, nothing special about them. They have mini cupcakes, regular size cupcakes, specialty layer cakes like red velvet, carrot cake, etc. We got a magnet, there was also balloons for the kids & a DJ outside. read more

Susie Cakes sells a whole bunch of baked goods, the usual stuff. not a cake person so didn't peruse further. standing board outside announces "special of the day". buys: "sour cream cheesecake" (2.5) -interesting taste, cheesecake not so creamy, cheesy -good deal for the price, not that great a cheesecake -3.5 stars crumbs: -fab, smiling service read more

I recently moved to the North Bay and was excited to know Susie Cakes was in my area! Susie cakes has a "retro" feel to it, makes you feel like you're in a fifties kitchen with delicious sweets! The red velvet and vanilla cupcake are good and I love the celebration cake (think confetti cake but BETTER). Prices here are $3 and up for most cupcakes, slice of cakes but the cake slices are huge. Friendly staff also and plenty of goodies to choose from. read more

Stop by this place for the first time to pick up some treats and was pleasantly surprised at all the delicious things they had. I ended up get cupcakes and cookies and they where awesome. They had lots of beautiful cakes to pick from and many other things. The people working there were very nice and helpful. I'll be sure to pickup a birthday cake sometime from them. Also the red velvet cupcake I got was awesome. read more

SusieCakes made our wedding cake in June 2019. We planned to serve ice cream sandwiches as our primary dessert, but wanted a small cake to cut during the reception. We procrastinated making a decision and were worried that it would be too late by the time we got around to it. SusieCakes had no problem making the perfect cake with short notice! We shared the cake at our after party, and it received rave reviews. This cake didn't just look good, it tasted great too! read more

Bought the lemon cake and the carrot cake. Both delicious, and the carrot cake tasted as good as the old fashioned carrot cake you use to get in fine bakeries years ago, brimming with the pecans, carrot shreds and raisins. The frosting on both are to die for, just wonderful service, employees there are just so nice and helpful. Can't wait to try the coconut and chocolate cake! read more

I really enjoy the quality products that they use here. walking and there isn't much space there's a table where a couple people could set but this is mostly for takeout. They use high quality ingredients to make other projects other designs can be unique. I have never had anything from there that I didn't think was moist when it should be dry when it should be textures flavors salt savouries sweets all combined to make a wonderful products. They even took me on this cookie that's in the case then come in and one of the flavors of peanut butter and the other one is my favorite and I go in and I cannot help myself from buying one. So do I have a favorite yes everything they make but I prefer carrot cake or anything with buttercream frosting. read more

I ADORE SusieCakes - everything about their scrumptious desserts and awesome staff - so when I saw the Barbie cake comment, it was a bit disheartening. Turns out it's not even true! Thanks for being the best shop around for so many years running in the Bay. read more

My girlfriend and I have a serious serious addiction to this place. In fact, with people "sheltering in place" over Covid-19, we couldn't help but sneak out to the store and when noticing Susie Cakes was still open, picked up some of Susie's "nutty" cookies which are probably the best peanut cookie ever made and gluten free too! But the piece de resistance is their vanilla celebration cake - the buttercream frosting is just orgasmic. And let me say quite pointedly that: I hate cake. I hate it. But when my GF gets a big piece of that cake, I'm digging in and she's defending her territory. And was helped by this really really sweet woman who just recently started not long ago - I'll have to get her name next time - who provided the best service! My only fear is I'm going to end up with diabetes.... read more

I miss Susiecakes. I used to live in Marin and would go there a lot for a treat. So many favorites, including: - themed sugar cookies - vanilla cupcakes with pink or other bright colored frosting (I know the frosting color doesn't make a difference in taste, but my mind can't get over it) - molasses cookies (not just for the holidays!) - Celebration cake (like Funfetti, wish it came as a cupcake bc the cake slice is huge, even for two people!) Husband is a fan of the chocolate cupcakes, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies. He's a chocolate guy, obviously. I also love the seasonal specials they come out with - cookies, cupcakes, cakes, and pies, oh my! My only gripe is that the premade inscription cupcakes, for example, they had cupcakes that were already inscribed with 'Father's Day', are $1 more each! Wish they had pointed that out. I only bought 3, but if I had known, probably would've just gotten the regular ones since they taste the same. Since there's no price signage in-store (didn't see a menu either or prices online) and you live in Marin, chances are you can probably afford it (still, the principle). Just don't bowl over when you get your receipt and see the damage you've done to your wallet...and later your waistline, haha. read more

I never did update this, and I'm so sorry! My last review was still 4 stars because I love SusieCakes. I did not expect them to reach out to me over something that happened over a year prior and did not have me upset, but they did! And they promised to make it right and insisted on giving me a free cake to replace the one that had the problem. It wasn't necessary and it was above and beyond. Now THAT is customer service! read more

Soft, moist, sweet but not too sweet, colorful, these are the words that describe the cupcakes at Susie Cakes. The frosting is butter cream and just the right amount of sugar to butter flavor. Every bite is something to savor. The cookies are also amazing especially the snickerdoodle. Wonderfully crafted cakes for special occasions. Super nice staff, clean store, seating outside. read more

Where do I begin....Their online ordering was intuitive, super easy, and accommodating to my last minute order (within 24 hours). The staff was fabulous; funny, helpful, and engaging. There is a focus on custom service here that I appreciate. The cupcakes were damn delicious! Red velvet, chocolate, vanilla....All so moist and the buttercream was delicious . most importantly, the cupcakes were wrapped incredibly well to ensure minimal damage to the lovely decorating. I highly recommend Susie's Cupcakes! read more

I have not personally visited SusieCakes, but my friend brought me some goodies from here yesterday and they were delightful. She brought me 6 of the bite-sized/mini cupcakes and they were gone fairly quick...no shame! I couldn't help myself. 2 red velvet, 2 vanilla and 2 chocolate. All were so darn good. My favorite, of course, were the the chocolate. They were so dense and rich! My cravings for chocolate anything have been crazy lately so I'm definitely appreciative when I get a good chocolate bite. I hope to make my way into the store sooner rather than later to see what other sweets I find. read more

Susie cakes is very cute little cupcake and cake shop. I love they way they display their baked goods. Love their style, simple but pretty. Their old fashioned marble cake is really good. It reminds me of homemade cake out of scratch. I have to say many little cupcake shops that have opened recently just have cakes that taste like boxed from the grocery store with a whole bunch of too sweet frosting. Susie cakes does have sweet frosting as well, although it is a homemade taste. it makes a difference. My favorite is still the original chocolate with white frosting. The only downside I think this place has is that is is a little on the pricey side... paying $49 for a 9' cake is a too much. read more

SusieCakes makes one of the best Red Velvet cupcakes I've ever tasted. My boyfriend works in the plaza so he'd often bring home some cupcakes for me after work. These cupcakes taste fresh and the frosting is not too sweet. However, like most most gourmet cupcakes...one is more than enough (at a time). Nikki Preferred! read more

Chocolate cake is divine. Excellent, sweet but not too sweet, soft and moist. Definitely a must try, we loved it and will come back for sure

OMG thus place is amazing. I was in the area needed to kill 30 minutes before a meeting..So cookies is the best way to do this!! Now its Cakes right,but their cookies are amazing. I had my favorite Snickerdoodle it was the size of a lunch plate. I got to go a peanut butter sandwich, 2 cookies with light creamy peanut butter fluff in the middle. I took this home and saved to eat next week,it was still do good. i want to taste every cake in their. Please go for me I can't do this by myself. read more

A bakery that stays open until 7 pm? Was needing something sweet so stopped and was pleasantly surprised Susie cakes was still open. I got a chocolate chip cookie and a whoopie pie. The chocolate chip cookie was perfect. There was a light crispness to the outside, and wonderfully moist and chewy on the inside, as well as just the right amount of chocolate chips. The whoopie pie consisted of a buttercream frosting sandwiches between two chocolate cookies. It was very good but very sweet. I would recommend sharing or splitting it up and eating it at different times. As I said it was good but I became a little overwhelmed. They have a nice variety of cracks and treats. read more

Unfortunately I went into this shop today to pick up a cake and not one of the 9 people working acknowledged my existence nor offered me any assistance. I waited patiently even though there were no other customers in the store. Eventually I said "excuse me, are you working?" Someone then replied "oh I thought you were being helped". I replied "no". She then assisted me and handed me the cake I was picking up. With that many people working, at least one person should be assisting the customers or asking if they have been helped. I don't ever leave reviews but I was annoyed because of the amount of people there and the fact that there were no customers and that no one said a thing. This would deter me from coming back and going somewhere else where people are more attentive and on it. read more

Susie cakes made the cutest small wedding cake for our wedding. They delivered it to the venue on time, the order was exactly as we described, and they communicated with us fabulously.

I just had a tiny little four dollar cupcake that was very dry and had almost no flavor. I would definitely not recommend this place.

I had just picked up our envelope from our doctor which revealed the gender of our first baby. My friend immediately encouraged me to celebrate by ordering a cupcake with the gender colored frosting inside. Since we weren't doing a gender reveal party, we only needed one, just an intimate , special moment for my husband and I. I called SusieCakes, and they said come on down. When I walked in she said, we can do this for you right away! The front cashiers were so friendly, and were genuinely so excited for for us. It really made me smile and made my day! I will definitely be back, with all those amazing treats in their display case, how can I not? We'll see you for Valentine's Day!! :-) read more
