We were headed to a dinner party at our neighbors' house, and I knew the host absolutely loves carrot cake. I started reading Yelp reviews and came across SusieCakes. I stopped by and picked up a large carrot cake, and they even told me not to refrigerate it since we were serving it that night. It ended up being the hit of the party! The cake was incredibly moist, packed with nuts, and the frosting was absolutely to die for. Definitely one of the best carrot cakes I've had! read more

This cake is an elevated experience! When I truly want to treat myself I go here. I got lucky they had a free slice of Red Velvet the last time I went. My family also said it is the BEST cake they ever had. read more

So have seen this place in downtown and have always wanted to try it. So decided to get some red velvet and cupcakes for the kids birthday the store is very clean and nestled among restaurants. Very well laid out with a great assortment. The staff are friendly and attentive and able to answer a lot of questions. The cupcakes and red velvet cake were absolutely fantastic. Sweet and fresh not too heavy and can taste the quality in each bite. The price reflects the quality and the splurge is absolutely worth it. If you have a need to treat yourself go for it! You won't be disappointed. read more

I stopped by SusieCakes to pick up an order today and was disappointed by the customer service. When I walked in, there were already a few customers, but no one behind the counter acknowledged me or even said they'd be with me shortly. I waited while another customer completed a long pickup. During that time, someone new walked in and was helped immediately, despite my already being in line. It made me feel overlooked and unwelcome. The interaction itself was polite once I was finally helped, but the lack of acknowledgement, organization, and attentiveness created an uncomfortable experience. read more

If you're looking for a large slice of moist, rich chocolate cake, this is your place. Was it sweet enough to give me type two diabetes? Yes, but honestly worth it. Enjoy with a tall glass of cold milk. read more

Ordered from these folks several times they can turn around a custom order really quickly and it's high-quality ingredients. Enjoy their buttercream frosting they make it not too heavy, but it's still thick and delicious if that makes any sense... read more

The best chocolate cake in the world! What more can I say but these guys are for real.

Amazing service and even better chocolate cake from our favorite cake shop. The staff is amazing and friendly. They had our friend's six layer chocolate birthday cake ready right on time Saturday. The cake itself was amazing. Just the right amount of chocolate and sweetness with a rich smooth texture. Three weeks ago we got a carrot cake which was truly delicious (but we didn't get a picture:( ) I'll definitely go back :) read more

I am laughing because I left a review years ago and I must've ordered the same exact thing because I have the same exact pictures again. How is that even possible? I think it proves that SusieCakes is very consistent and you know what you're gonna get and you're gonna like it! When I compare the pictures, I did get more sprinkles this year than I did the last time on my little chocolate! the service is always great. It doesn't really have ambience because you can't sit inside or maybe they're a couple tables. I can't remember now, but looking at the display cases of the food the cake cakes and the cupcakes is such a pleasure experience. read more

This place smelled so good. They had plenty of people working and ready to take orders. We got the salted caramel and peanut butter which were special for the season. I wanted to try their chocolate and vanilla as well to compare it to Icing on the Cake. I liked their cupcakes, but they're not my go-to! read more

I went in for a Birthday cake and wound up getting a Peanut Butter cookie moon pie. It was a short line and the gal was super friendly when it was my turn. I got a Marble cake (smaller sized), and it was decorated with sprinkles and wound up getting a Peanut butter moon pie. Cake was the perfect size for our small gathering and it was moderately sweet. The best place for Cakes and other sweets when you are in the Dwtn area of Lafayette. read more

SusieCakes always has friendly folks. The Lafayette location was no exception. I am signed up with SusieCakes, but this year I didn't get my birthday cake. I went in and spoke to the lady and she explained that SusieCakes recently changed their policy and it heh now require a purchase to have been made at least 6 months before your birthday to qualify. But she hooked it up for me anyway and gave me a slice for my birthday. Appreciate it! read more

We were in the Lafayette area recently and craving cupcakes. I remembered we had actually been to SusieCakes about a decade ago and were happy to see they were still around and still highly rated. Got there just before closing and was able to pick up a box of 4 delicious cupcakes. The red velvet and peanut butter ones were my favorites. The store was clean and inviting with friendly employees. They were genuinely appreciative of our business. Parking is a bit tight around the area and the curb right in front of SusieCakes and its neighboring shops is blocked off. My recommendation is to park a block before getting there. read more

We ordered the vanilla celebration cake for my sister's birthday. The cake was so excruciatingly sweet I couldn't even finish a slice! Very disappointed as the cake looked pretty and I was excited to try it. The frosting was quite frankly inedible, and to make matters worse more of it was added in between the cake layers. The cake itself lacked flavor and was very dry. read more

I had such an unpleasant experience with this location. I ordered two 6" cakes and 1 dozen cupcakes over 1 week ago knowing that the vintage cakes need to be preordered 48 hours in advance. I set the pick up time at 10:45 AM on the day of my daughter's party and sent a family member to pick it up at 2PM. When she arrived at my house, she only had ONE cake with her. In a panic, I called the bakery and it turns out the vintage cake was still in the kitchen and wasn't boxed up nor were the cupcakes. We live 40 minutes away and I had to send someone else to pick up the remainder of the order! Imagine the stress of coordinating and planning a kids party already! I did not need the additional stress! Thanks a lot! If I were you, find another bakery that will actually have your FULL order ready at the pick up time requested! read more

Parking can be difficult but behind the store front street parking had some spots. I snagged the last one. It is metered. Downtown Lafayette cute cakes, cupcakes and cookies. I had the peanut butter chocolate cupcake. Not overly sweet and it was a moist cupcake. read more

Stopped by to pick-up a cake on behalf of my cousin for Mother's Day. The process was easy. I wasn't expecting to see that many people in the store, but totally disregarded the fact that it was actually Mother's Day the next day. The wait was not too bad. I was distracted by their pretty in-store display of already made cakes and cupcakes -- while trying to decide which cupcakes I wanted to pick-up myself to give. The guy who helped me was very nice and patient. It was a little hard to hear due to the others that were inside I think, but it was ok. I thought I had ordered 5 cupcakes, but when I got home I had 8. All good, as there were 3 moms around so each got to have a "Mom" cupcake along with a slice of cake! Strawberry rosé = adore the name, the look, and the taste Lemon = didn't try because I know its my mom's fave flavor Red velvet = Mom cupcake Raspberry Vanilla Cake = cute and not too sweet for my palette which was great b/c I was able to eat the entire slice plus the frosting. Easy to find parking in the surrounding area. I parked at a meter, but saw there was also a parking lot around the back. Nice downtown area to walk around on a nice sunny and warm day. The only bad part is that I didn't really have any cell service -- I couldn't really check-in on the Yelp app, nor sign up for their app while I was in store. I don't think this was my first time having SusieCakes, but I don't recall the exact time I've had it in the past. Would recommend any party or special occasion ordering ahead of time. They also have a few party supplies in-store such as candles, decorations, fancy plates, and fancy napkins. Download the app ahead of time so you can earn points that will lead to I believe it was a free cupcake or something of that sort. :) read more

The service was prompt and friendly. The cupcakes were priced a bit high but they were delicious. Great gifts!!

OMG!!! Melts in your mouth, and staff was amazing!! The second I stepped foot in the door I immediately got this amazing smell of baked goods, the whole place looked clean and spotless! read more

Great service but unfortunately I didn't like the cake! I was shocked because it smelled delicious in there, like cake batter that I'd want to lick off the spoon. But I didn't enjoy the vanilla celebration cake. Super sweet and flavor wasn't there for me personally. But my bff doesn't even like cake at all and she LOVES the vanilla celebration cake. To each their own! Landing in the middle at 3 stars to even out our opinions of it. Staff is friendly. Cake slice was HUGE (which I appreciated). Keep doin ur thang Susie! May be back yo try a different flavor. They also have baked treats for dogs. read more

Good cupcakes. The cupcakes here are moist and not too sweet. The flavors taste largely natural and you get the sense they use high quality ingredients. Even though the frosting can be generous, the fact that it's not sickly sweet makes it nice and satisfying. This location is a pretty basic storefront. Service is friendly and fast. They are not cheap though, but these are both worth the calories and the price. read more

Great selection and prices. Cakes are delicious and fresh. Also very pretty designs and card and candles can be purchased as well.

Ahhhh...what a gorgeous and nostalgic bakery. I could be in here every day admiring the sweets. They sell beautiful cakes of different sizes and flavors, personalized and decorated if you'd like. They also have cupcakes and mouthwatering cookies. The staff were friendly, helpful, funny and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you Sofia and Dani for making us feel right at home. read more

SusieCakes makes amazingly tasty baked goods! The presentation is nice and it's high quality. The strawberry cupcake was yummy. The cookies were not bad. I get that it's located in downtown Lafayette and they use good ingredients, so I guess I'm not surprised about the high prices. I'd probably come back if I were in the area, but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way. read more

Bought a piece of celebration cake for my daughter. When I got home and opened it for her it's very noticeable that the slicers are very much smaller than they used to be. Same price but shrink inflation has hit Susie's. Sincerely, it's really not worth the price with a piece of cake that's no bigger than a supermarket for almost triple the price. read more

Ordered a raspberry cake. Nice decorations and writing. Unfortunately, the icing was waaaay too sweet - and there were three layers of icing inside besides the outside. So, we moved the icing to the side and enjoyed the cake. BTW I have a sweet tooth, and love Susie Cakes but not this one. read more

It was my birthday & decided to try out susiecakes after all my close friends raved about it. We went to the lafayette location since it was on our way to Monterey, and I had the BEST experience. We ordered a smash cake because we wanted a small celebration cake & we were so kindly greeted upon arrival. Since i'm new to the bakery, I didn't get a free cake slice offer (which most do) so I decided to take my chances and mentioned it to the kind lady & she so kindly offered me a slice since it was my birthday.. even tho the system didn't pull up an offer specifically under my account. It's really the little things that make a day like today so special.. if you're looking for a wonderful location to pick up a cake this is it! read more

I love their carrot cake. But that's it. I've tried their other cakes (lemon, red velvet, marble, old fashion chocolate, coconuts etc..) and cupcakes but none is impressive for the price. Instant diabetes sweet but not flavorful at all. And their service is so slow! Why so slow??? Like today, I just wanted 3 slices of cakes and it took them 15 mins. There was only one person ahead of me. I'm almost done with them. I might come back for their carrot cake but won't order anything else. read more

Very expensive for what you get. The small size cake we ordered was tasty but not fully baked.

Came in to kill sometime while waiting to pick up my fur baby from the veterinary hospital down the street. SusieCakes prepares custom cakes, fresh cooked and cupcakes. I had the opportunity to try the fresh baked chocolate chip cookie and the red velvet cupcake. The red velvet cupcake was delicious. The cream cheese frosting was not too sweet and the cupcake itself was nice and moist. So good. The chocolate chip cookie was soft and fresh. Crunchy in all the right places. Pretty good goodies served here. If you're planning on stopping by, know that there is only street parking. You can call ahead and place your order. read more

Nothing wrong with Susie Cakes - order on line pick it up and you know already that it will be just fine. Some decoration are impressive. I am a customer and like what they offer. So I love the cakes or cupcakes? No. Do I dislike them? Neither. The birthday cake flavor is probably the most memorable one. read more

I placed this order for my aunt's bday. It was not an order I could complete online although it seems that is what the business prefers. I wanted full-size cupcakes so I called and the gentleman said I would have to pay extra per cupcake. I said ok but he needed approval and would call me back and when he did the answer was no. So I called back later and placed the order for the mini cupcakes and the young lady was super helpful and suggested sending the birthday napkins and they were perfect. My aunt loved them and I'm happy she did, but I would have rather had been able to order full-size rose cupcakes that's why I only gave 4 stars. read more

Workers were solemn and farthest from joyful this morning. Cupcakes were dry. Note: NOT Nut-free and workers are not conscientious about cross contamination. When asked if they can NOT use the same tongs as with the peanut butter cupcakes, the solemn cashier almost rolled her eyes and answered they don't use tongs; she did NOT notate any of my comments to peanut concerns. Therefore I watched and they use their fingers to pick up the cupcakes. They didn't wash their hands in between the cashier duties, boxing duties, picking up the cakes, etc. read more

SusieCakes was our office's choice for coworker birthday celebrations when we used to go to office in SF. They always have such amazing designs and taste. I am delighted they have a branch now in Lafayette and I adore their cupcakes. Just recently got half a dozen for Mother's Day and I love their chocolate and PBJ flavors! This is the perfect bakery if you want a nicely made cake. The cake is moist and sweet and I can probably have 2 cupcakes if I just don't care :) read more
