Cakes- Although initially the cakes were on the heavier / sweeter side than expected, the staff shared which cakes were sweeter, used cream cheese frosting vs buttercream, were more moist (even after a couple days), etc. Our favorite has been the Red Velvet- moist, cream cheese frosting, and not as sweet. You cannot go wrong with any of the cakes if you inherently like coconut, lemon, carrot cakes, birthday, and others (seasonal favorite is berry cake- Light, buttercream frosting, fresh berries, the best!) However, indulging in the cakes is not the main reason we come here. The people who open and close the store, who make the cakes, place them tantalizingly on the shelves, have dog treats/samples available, and the ability to somehow uplift any depressing mood (esp. our chemotherapy treatment days) and even my Shiba Inu's day, are the reason we chose this location. Cici (shortened) has done it all and has gone above and beyond to even greet Rufus, our dog as we walk past the store to give him a treat. She remembers what cake my mom enjoyed during chemotherapy, and always lifted our moods. I don't leave reviews on service, usually the food is what's important. This is one exception where I need to echo other reviewer sentiments that CiCi, Lucia, and Dennis have made this location our go to location because their professionalism, hard work, friendliness, empathy are all palpable. Thank you Cici, Lucia and Dennis for the cakes and cupcakes, (even making a cream cheese frosting cupcake instead of buttercream on the spot, because we asked). Cici we are grateful for sharing your time with Rufus as he has a new friend in DTLA. Moreover, for your kindness and ability to always sweeten and uplift even our roughest days. read more

I had a GREAT experience here! Yesterday my aunt and I came to Susie's to get a little sweet treat after work since it was her birthday. The girly behind the counter was so sweet and answered all of my questions regarding the top flavors, prices etc. We ended up getting mocha, red velvet, chocolate and a seasonal flavor 4 pack of cupcakes. While my aunt was on the phone, the other girly came out and we all started chatting it up! The vibes were great, the cupcakes were great and I'm so glad we spontaneously came in. I mentioned that it was my aunts bday and they absolutely hooked it up for us and to that I'm soooo grateful. Thank you so much Lucia and CC you are that girl! And if I ever find the place you recommended me for monchichis I will def be back to tell you all about it. Thank you read more

The cakes are good, some significantly better than others. I highly recommend you buy them the day that you need it because they taste a bit odd after being put in the fridge. What makes this place delightful are the COOKIES. Not only are the cookies delicious, they also sell cookie dough that you can take home and bake yourself. They are amazing. The people who work here are always super pleasant, as well. read more

If you love cakes, cupcakes, and all things sweet, Suzy's Cupcakes is a must-visit. Their signature cakes are beautifully crafted, and my personal favorite has always been the Funfetti--such a nostalgic childhood treat! They also offer a wide variety of cupcakes, including seasonal flavors, so there's always something new to try. The shop itself is super cute and aesthetically pleasing, making it a fun spot to visit. They sell birthday cakes, slices, cupcakes, cookies, and pies, and everything I've tried has been delicious. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and it's easy to order because all the cakes are beautifully displayed. The cakes and cupcakes lean on the sweeter side with their rich buttermilk frosting--usually a small piece is plenty for me, but I still love indulging. Suzy's Cupcakes is definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for something sweet and delightful! read more

Best Cupcake ever!!! After that said I would be honest with you I never thought that this small Place in DTLA would give me so much joy! The personnel were friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and amazing! I got 3 mini cupcakes ( red velvet, chicken and vanilla) my coworker got 2 cupcakes ( peanut butter and coconut) when we got to the hotel we discovered that she( the employee) gifted us some cupcakes on my box I found 2 of each flavor and my coworker got an lemon and a red velvet! Was a great surprise and we are super thankful for that! Now we need one in Orlando!! read more

I don't think I'll be going to SusieCakes anymore... in fact, I know I won't. I stopped in for a slice of red velvet cake for my (belated) birthday. I thought it was odd when I ordered my slice, I was immediately handed a box that was already pre-cut. The box felt light but was all taped up so I didn't really know that was inside. When I finally opened the box, it was a small piece of cake that is literally HALF the size it used to be. In fact, a piece of cake in the past would last me 2 days (I've been going to SusieCakes since they only had a couple stores-- many many years ago). This one? Not even a slice, but a sliver. Gone in a few mins... $8 bucks for that?!! And the taste was pretty bland (both the cake and the cream cheese frosting). Not like I remember at all. It's time for a breakup, SusieCakes. read more

Best cakes ever! My favorite is the marble chocolate chip! Fortunately they sell this cake by the slice! They also have cupcakes, birthday cupcakes and cakes that you can have customized for the occasion. Their carrot cake is outstanding too! Good thing they serve milk. Too bad they don't sell ice cream pints. Service was good-/They made a mistake on our cookie, but made it right by giving us the selected cookie, a snicker doodle, as well as letting us keep the chocolate chip which they gave us in error, since we already handled it before noticing that it was incorrect. We lucked out because the chocolate chip was also delicious! Wish they had more dine in seating. Of course their shop is cheerful with all the cakes enticingly displayed! read more

Calls are moist tasty and just delicious. The price is right for the size that they serve you. The service is also excellent.

What I Ordered: -Peanut Butter Cupcake -Lemon Cupcake I've heard many good things about Susie Cakes and when I heard they opened one downtown. I knew it was time for me to give it a try. When you sign up for their rewards, you get a free cupcake. The wife and I ate for free. Normally, we would have ordered more things, but we just came from Bottega Louie and we were really full and couldn't eat anymore. I have a big sweet tooth whereas the wife is not a fan of American-style bakeries as she finds everything to be too sweet. I housed my PB Cupcake in New York Minute and she nibbled and brought and home where it went bad in the fridge - shame on her! I read online that the PB Cupcake was really good and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed this flavor. It is not every day you get a PB Cupcake. I was happy to try something that is a bit unique and delicious at the same time. The cookies and cakes looked absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back to try other delicious goodies! read more

I can't recommend Susie Cakes enough! I bought this red velvet case for my office holiday party and they did a great job with decorating it just like I asked for - celebrating birthdays, Christmas, and Hanukkah. The red velvet cake was moist, and the frosting is divine!! My boss bought a dozen cupcakes once from here and everyone loved their cupcakes! I had the espresso cupcake and it's honestly one of the best cupcakes I've ever had! On top of great flavors, everyone working there is incredibly kind. The gentleman who helped me with the cake was so enthusiastic about helping to decorate it. And he went above and beyond for the birthday cupcake I ordered. Even though I didn't order this ahead, they were able to get the cake out within 15 minutes of me ordering it. Fast, kind, and delicious! read more

Stopped here for a cake and the process couldn't have been easier. I was able to find a metered spot two blocks away. It was still anti-gridlock hours so I couldn't park in the spots right by Susie's Cakes. The workers were very nice and patient. I ended getting the Vanilla Celebration Cake, their signature cake. It's your typical vanilla cake! I want to try their cupcakes next time! read more

Stopped by this spot while I was downtown. They have somehow managed to keep the front clean and picturesque. I got the seasonal banana cake- yum, along with some cupcakes too. The celebration is a staple in our cake rotation. It never misses. read more

I sometimes need to cheer up and I found a bakery in downtown Los Angeles that does that for me SusieCakes has a variety of some of the most delicious cupcakes, cookies, and cakes that I can think of. My favorite is called the Susie's nutty... Two soft peanut butter cookies and in between is a peanut butter buttercream frosting/filling that is so good that I would literally eat it by the gallon if I could get away with it The next thing I'm going to try is the flourless cupcake and believe it is chocolate flavored and that's going to be my next target but if you wanna get something safe, try the mocha or the peanut butter or the strawberry cupcakes. You can't go wrong and of course, the red velvet is classic !! read more

I always order cupcakes for my sister's birthday and this year I order from SusieCakes (through Uber Eats delivery).

First timer! I've always seen their delicious cakes and cupcakes on Instagram. I was nearby and decided to try them. You will not be disappointed. Ashley (General Manager) greeted us and answered all my questions, all flavors look so yummy. I tried the carrot cake and the old fashioned chocolate cake. I will be ordering my birthday cake from here! read more

First I want to thank Leia and Ashley so so much for their kindness and going above and beyond. A friend of mine passed away this year under very tragic circumstances and his birthday was today. My partner had a hard week knowing their birthday was approaching and had mixed feelings about whether or not to celebrate our friends birthday. We were fortunate enough to spend what would've have been his last birthday with him in 2024 and I knew a celebration this year would lift our spirits. I wanted to celebrate with a cake of picture of him and they both helped me within minutes of closing and even stayed after to make sure I was able to pick up the cake. It meant so much that they were able to help pull through and are so grateful for how compassionate they were. Thank you so so much Leia and Ashley read more

Dennis helped me out today and provided top tier customer service! I usually receive good service here but he definitely made my night! The store is clean, pretty stocked, and the overall process of ordering is fairly quick. The cakes tonight were really yummy and I can't wait to go back read more

Sad to report a pretty average experience at SusieCakes. The service was great and the store appeared to be super clean, but the cake fell flat. The celebration cake looked so pretty with the light blue buttercream and the flavor was great, but the cake itself was a bit dry and dense. I did purchase at the end of the day, so that may have had something to do with it. In contrast, the old fashioned chocolate cake was delicious and light/fluffy. Based on the chocolate cake, I'm guessing I just got a last slice of celebration cake at the end of the day and that affected the texture. read more

I work very close to this location, so my co-worker and I go a lot! Every time we go, we are met with such kindness and always have such a beautiful experience. I have also done SusieCakes through the app, TooGoodToGo, and am always pleasantly surprised at the amount of delicious things you get for $7! CC is a huge highlight of this store. She is so wonderful, positive, and charismatic. Every time we are helped by her, we feel so important and cared for! She is so passionate about making sure you get something you will like and that you leave happy. The cupcakes themselves are on another level. Such simple, no-frills designs and flavors but they blow you away. My favorite will always be the chocolate with vanilla buttercream but some of the seasonal ones have been amazing (See's Candies Bordeaux collab, Blueberry pancake, Salted caramel). My boyfriend's favorite is the peanut butter for very good reason, its amazing. Hands down my favorite bakery for the best vibes and even better treats! read more

I was really impressed with this spot. Love that the flavors are strong and seem natural (vs fake/artificial) and nothing is too sweet. The buttercream is real (most bakeries use substitutes) and the cake is moist/not over baked or over mixed. The girls working the counter are very sweet and attentive. read more

I love Susies cakes over any other popular name, brand cupcake company. read more

Big kudos to the wonderful worker Climmisha that helped my family and I today! She was so very fun and matched my kids energy. Her patience 5stars. Helpful 5star. Recommendations 5stars. Service 5star. Great experience, will be back! Thank you read more

The service is incredible! I was helped by Cici who helped me through a whole hassle of making a cupcake a peanut free allergy protected one, and was super through with it. She wrote a custom message on it after separately frosting it in the back and took her time patiently with me! And after all that she gave it to me for free! I insisted on tipping but she wouldn't let me, pure human kindness God bless her! read more

This place seriously brings me so much happiness, from the moment you walk in the smell of the shop is delightful, followed by a warm welcome. The service is fast and very friendly and they always ask if I need help. They have a nice selection of cakes, slices, cupcakes and cookies. The only problem is choosing which item you want restrain yourself from buying everything. read more

With apologies to my grandmom, these cakes are the best I've had in my life! I used to think I liked chocolate cake, but now that I've had the old fashioned chocolate cake from Susie's, I see now that I was only tolerating chocolate cake all my life. Primarily it wasn't overly sweet like most are. But my faves at Susie's are the coconut tropical and the carrot cake. Well, the red velvet was up there too. Do I need to pick a fave or can I have all three? I'll be back for more and more, Susie. Keep baking, please! read more

The chocolate cake slice I had here was pretty good. It was rich, moist, decadent, and choclateley. I also like the size they give you. Love that they give you a free slice of cake on your birthday, you just have to sign-up for their rewards program beforehand and they'll send you an email to claim your freebie on the app. read more

This was first time visiting SusieCakes and it didn't disappoint. The staff was very friendly and helpful (with 30 minutes to close,) and the place was clean. I got large and small cupcakes, in a variety of flavors. They were moist and tasty and I will be going back. My only negative and this comes from a person who LOVES sweets, their is A LOT of icing on the small cupcakes so it was like biting into straight sugar. I scraped of most of it and it was still delicious!! I will be back!! read more

Run dont walk to this cupcake shop!!!! CC was so friendly and took care of me for my birthday! She recommended the blueberry pancake and red velvet.

All the ladies are so friendly! read more

As Larry David would say "Pretty, pretty, pretty good" haha I picked up two 9" cakes today for work birthday event -- Marble and Lemon. They were heavy AF!!! I thought it was cheesy that they charge $ to put writing on a cake that's already $60+ so I opted to not do it remembering we had little flags at the office haha... The cakes were a hit but I was a bit surprised the cake was so cold and hard sitting out room temp for a few hours so warning! Unlike Nothing Bundt, where they ask you if you'll be serving within 3 hours, this place doesn't communicate the need so plan accordingly. EDIT reply to Mandy: Thanks for the info about leaving out for 4 hours. This detail should be shared before placing the order though. I picked it up at 1:30p during my lunch break to serve at 3:30pm so it did me no good to know this after the fact. I think that's why Nothing Bundt asks what time the cake is being served when you order it to ensure it's thawed enough prior to picking it up. read more

Our normal spot to grab something sweet when we are heading to a friend's and in charge of dessert. Consistently great baked goods with friendly staff. The store is cozy and neat. Definitely glad we live close by. read more

Terrible customer service! I literally just left this location. First, the entire time I was asking questions, the three women working barely turned around to stop what they were doing to actually look at me as they were speaking to me. Then, I asked to sample a small bite of their new lemon blueberry flavor before buying a 6 inch cake. One of the women said, "no I don't have any" then quickly turned the cake toward me so I could see it then turned back around and continued doing what she was doing. I turned to my daughter (who I was with me) and said that we would go to the Manhattan beach location so I could sample before buying. As I walked out, when I looked back, I saw one of the women shaking her head and commenting about my request. Awful, awful, AWFUL customer service!!! Super rude!! The Manhattan Beach location has much better customer service!! read more

I stop by here to pick up a slice whenever I need it for a special occasion! The staff is always helpful and kind. The store is brightly lit and clean. It can get busy at times, but I've always been in and out pretty quickly. If I need to, I park right outside the shop by the curb for a few minutes and have never had issues. read more

I was watching a show and really wanted a funfetti cake. I looked around and saw that SusieCakes had a version of it called confetti cake. I put in a order online and was in and out within a few minutes. The cake was delicious! I will say that it's a little bit of a heavier cake, so I had a small slice. But, it was pretty good. I saved the cake and ate it for like a week (lol). I have also tried a few other things during the holidays. I am not a fan of their cupcake or their cookies. I thought it was very overpriced. There are some other cakes I would like to try, but will probably pass on the other pastries. For the logistics on this location, there is no parking, but some street parking. It's hard to find during peak time, so I would suggest ordering online and then picking it up really quickly. read more
