Pastries were delicious. I bought a vanilla cake and it was honestly a delicious pastry. The establishment was really clean and the staff was super nice. Only observation I have is this 3% healthy team charge in my receipt? A quick google search tells us this charge is to assist in paying for healthcare for their employees. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for everyone having healthcare but passing the bill to the customer is ridiculous. I'm a firm believer that healthcare should be the employers responsibility. read more

Bright and clean store. There is a lot to consider. I don't think you can go wrong. The employees are cheerful and pleasant. I was getting a cupcake sampler, but really wanted the chocolate cake. To my surprise when my name was called, they gifted me a slice of chocolate cake, YUM!!! Oh did I mention that the cakes taste as good as they look. They are a no cash establishment. read more

Felt compelled to write this review because their carrot cake changed my life. I will never eat another carrot cake. Service was quick and I've nothing to complain about in that regard. Place was clean. But seriously, the carrot cake can absolutely take all my money every year for my birthday. read more

Their chocolate cake is the best I've had here in LA. I highly recommend it. Will definitely be going back to try their other cake flavors. read more

Came across this place by chance on a Yelp search while visiting a friend in Pasadena. I wanted a small cake to celebrate my late sister's life and gave SusieCakes a try. Although this small cake was pricey, $45, I liked the commitment to simple / real ingredients and that the space was inspired by the recipes of their their late grandmother . Honestly, this has been the best cake I've ever had! I loved the small morsels of chocolate chips that were within the cake as well. I was able to cut this cake into 12 slices and it was a great treat for me and my family ! We will be back for the next family celebration ! read more

I love cake but this place is gross. I have a very sweet tooth but can't eat the cakes here. Tastes like butter and sugar.

Super cute cupcake shop. They have a great aesthetic between the decor, the outfits, and the design of the cupcakes. I was saw the shop heading somewhere else and decided to check it out. The cupcakes themselves are pretty yummy. I tried the red velvet and the Uncle Nearest 1884 Whiskey Vanilla Cupcakes. The red velvet was good, but the Uncle Nearest 1884 Whiskey Vanilla Cupcakes had a stronger whiskey flavor than what I would prefer. It might be for you if you're looking for that strong alcohol flavor. They make cakes as well. read more

Came in here on a whim this weekend as I was passing on my stroll home. The set up in the store is so cute! A mix of modern vintage vibe. The cakes reminds me of what a 50s/60s retro wife would make in her household. I got myself a banana chocolate chip cupcake and a slice of the chocolate cake. The frosting was light and the cake is dense with flavor and texture (definitely something to share with someone). Like most things in our world, inflation has made everything a bit pricier than usual. If you got the money, it's worth trying read more

Never had a bad experience at SusieCakes. I love the brand, the vibe and the ppl whenever i get my sugar fix here. Rachel and Nannette are my favssssss! Just the friendliest. On a recent visit they were both there and made our day. Since I was blessed with an extra slice of cake than I expected (without fail my strategy for not over consuming always implodes!) I was able to bless a work friend I saw randomly on the street with some cake. So it was the blessing that kept on giving this holiday season. I prefer cake slices over cupcakes though the cupcakes are still amazing. The cookies are good too! I just wish we can eventually order pie slices vs needing to get a whole pie... that's just trouble I don't need lol. && this is also my petition to bring the brownies back! Mainly bc I've never tried them and really want to. read more

What can I say. Family likes cakes and this is our go to favorite. Easy to order. No fuss no muss. And always good. Shouldn't be this easy. read more

This is my second time trying Susie's cakes I'm not sure what changed I loved it the first time I tried it and yesterday I was in the area so decided to stop by to pick up something sweet but I didn't expect it to be this sweet. The sweetness it's so overwhelming you can't even taste the chocolate it's just sugar on sugar and the chocolate frosting harden up the very next morning like hard frosting and the Cake was relatively dry. I also picked up some cupcakes but I end up giving it to my neighbor. read more

A popular Chicago bakery that specializes home baking with no preservatives. All cakes and bake goods are made at the store. The Pasadena store is one of their many California shops. We came to shop for a cake since our daughter recommended their cupcakes and birthday cakes. We tried their cupcake and chocolate cookie. They were very good. The cupcake tasted heavenly and the cookie was delicious. We can't wait to try their cake. Right now, 30% off for the first 150 people who order online for shipping. The shop is located right next to Mendocino Farm restaurant. read more

This review is for the birthday freebie I enjoyed this weekend. For one's birthday, SusieCakes has a sweet (pun intended) deal of a free slice of cake and I am so glad I signed up so I could redeem this offer. I walked into the store and browsed the various cake types for a few minutes. While the red velvet cake was very tempting, I ultimately went with a seasonal option, the summer berry cake, which was calling my name. I'm a big fan of desserts with cream and berries, so this seemed right up my alley. While I was ordering, I looked briefly to my left and noticed that you can see the behind-the-scenes work area behind glass, which was pretty cool to see. Lots of work involved. The worker helping me quickly redeemed my offer and gave me a container with the cake inside. After she wished me Happy Birthday (very kind of her to do so), we were on our way. Later that night, I tried the cake and it was sooo delicious! The cake was light, moist, and creamy and full of yummy berries. Kind of like a strawberry shortcake. I was in heaven. I know berries aren't always in season, but I wish they could take whatever fruit is in season at the time and combine it with cream and have that as an option year-round. I would definitely order it. Overall, I really enjoyed my cake this weekend and appreciated not only the delicious treat, but the great service as well. I will have to come back soon! read more

I have to say I was very pleased with the service I got when I had a little problem with one of there bake goods. They fixed it and made it right and I was pleased with the manager on how pleasant he was and wanted to make sure I was happy. I do like there items and yes can be a bit pricey but every now and then I like to treat the family with a good bake good. Thank you for taking the time to resolve my issue. read more

I haven't been to Susie Cakes in years. Last one I've visited was the Calabasas location. I've been meaning to pay this location a visit but they closed before I got off work. Luckily we had a chance to swing by and grab some sweets. I showed my teenage son the 6 layer cake online last week. Today he asked me if we could go to SusieCakes, since he hasn't stopped thinking about the cake lol. My little dude loves chocolate, and well cake! So we came by right before they closed. We grabbed a slice of 6-layer cake, chocolate chip cookies and a red velvet cupcake to try. Let me tell you, the quality in the 6 layer cake has not changed! Still moist, delicious, not overly sweet, just right! The size is plentiful! Glad they're in my neighborhood now, but also a danger zone lol. My son enjoyed the cake, as he said- he "just went to town" lol. They are cashless , so only cards accepted. They're open 7 days a week from 11am-5pm and they have ample parking in the back. If you download their app, you get a $5 coupon. Enjoy! Almost forgot to mention, the staff here are so friendly! Thank you for the wonderful service! read more

Bought a box of susiecakes' chocolate cupcakes for my friends bday. I wasn't familiar with their cupcakes and finally got to try and review it. The cupcake itself is moist and very light. I saw that someone has said it was dry which wasn't my experience at all. They put a decent amount of frosting which was very sweet but worked with the chocolate cake. Overall I liked it! read more

The mini cupcakes and cupcakes are to die for. They cream cheese frosting isn't too sweet, and the decoration is so beautiful. The staff was super nice and sweet. Definitely pricey. Each mini cupcake was like $2 and cupcake was like $3. The smaller cakes were $55 and the larger ones were $75. read more

GO TO SPRINKLES CUPCAKES. THIS IS BAD. They definitely changed the recipe for the frosting. it tastes more like AMERICAN buttercream now. extremely sugary and cheap. Mandy: I love understand that it's natural to want to defend SusieCakes, but this type of response is highly inappropriate, especially when a customer is simply sharing an honest experience. The buttercream this time tasted noticeably different from what we've enjoyed before. I ordered a half dozen of assorted cupcakes, and it was clear the recipe had changed. We've been loyal customers for over six years, purchasing cupcakes for all our events, and this batch was 100% different. The buttercream tasted like it was just butter and sugar whipped together--it lacked the usual quality and tasted cheap. Instead of sending a passive and dismissive response, I encourage you to take this as an opportunity to review what's happening in your bakery and identify areas for improvement. We would have given you many more chances, but after this interaction, we'll be returning to Sprinkles. read more

Customer service and friendless was amazing ! I didn't like the fact that I paid $50 for a cake and still had to pay an additional fee to have writing on the cake . For that price it should be included. The cake didn't change my life , I tasted more of the frosting the. The cake itself, I would expect to taste soft moist cake , but I really only tasted frosting . There were about 3 glad working and just 2 customers , I had preordered so I do t need ow what I waited so long. read more

Their seasonal German chocolate cake was fantastically dense, moist, and delectable. Ingredients were of superior quality, including the nuts in the frosting. Above and beyond Vons or Ralph's (in case you're a skeptic, like I was). The perfect winter treat! read more

Saw them today and had to check them out as I have a sweet tooth. My bf and I got the carrot cake slice, coconut cupcake, and two sugar cookies shaped like dogs. Enjoyed the cookies. I love coconut cake and cupcakes and was happy with the cupcake. It was moist. My bf is very picky and loves carrot cakes and was very pleased with the cake. They told us it was chosen best carrot cake in LA. Will be a regular customer for sure! read more

The vanilla cake was too sugary gave me a headache. My guests said that it was too sugary as well.

We decided to try a variety of their cupcakes, and each one was a small piece of heaven. The flavors were spot on, and the frosting was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. The Red Velvet and Classic Vanilla were definite favorites! The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy treat or a quick pick-me-up. The staff was friendly and helpful, guiding us through their selection and ensuring we had a fantastic experience. read more

The best cakes always. The cake to icing ratio is great , the icing is great and flavorful , the cake is moist, fluffy and flavorful. Nothing gives you that nasty crisco film in your mouth or has any weird fake flavoring taste like a lot of the bakeries do now a days. And the staff is always so kind and accommodating. If you're looking for a great cake, you can't go wrong here. read more

SusieCakes is one of my absolute favorite cupcake shops in all of LA...and I eat A LOT of cupcakes! Unfortunately, they ended up opening after I moved from Pasadena but that hasn't stopped me from making a pit stop each time I'm in the area. Their offerings of delicious cupcakes, cakes, cookies and more are consistently amazing and you can really taste the quality and care they put into their baked goods. Their cupcakes are perfectly moist and have the perfect ratio of fluffy frosting without being overly sweet. Yes, it's still pretty sweet but not cloyingly so. My favorites of the bunch are vanilla, chocolate vanilla and chocolate mint. Red velvet is also tasty too if you're a fan of red velvet, although the frosting has more of a cream cheese flavor as opposed to buttercream. I prefer buttercream over cream cheese frosting but the frosting here isn't too overwhelming. This is sure to become a regular dessert stop for me whenever I'm in the area. Definitely looking forward to trying their seasonal cupcake flavors as well other sweets! read more

I came in back in October to place an order for a cake for my mom for her birthday. I have never made a custom cake before so it was a first. I want to thank Omar for all his help! He was very patient with me & helping me with how I wanted the cake to come out which included how i wanted the writing on the cupcakes the which color I wanted the writing & icing. It came out beautiful!! Everyone at the party loved it & not to mention it tasted great. Thank you again for all your help. (I wish i had a picture) before i had a chance to take a photo the cupcakes were done. read more

The prices are great! read more

If only I could give them 10 stars! As soon as you walk into the immaculately clean storefront, you know by the smell that whatever you get is going to be delicious.

Lovely service staff, I called and ordered my cake, it was ready on time and perfect. Needless to say their cakes are amazing! This is one of my favorite places to get cake.

I live and breathe Susiecakes. I get this for every birthday and have convinced my family members to get this for their birthdays too. There are 17 people in my extended family and it's rare for us to all agree on one thing, but we all agree Susiecakes has the best red velvet cake we've ever tried. I always order the 9 inch red velvet and it's enough for 17 of us to have generous slices, sometimes with leftovers. read more

Ok! So I am disappointed to even have to right this review because I have been a big fan of Susie Cakes since their opening. But, like many new places that open, eventually things get old. Literally! So this review is strictly about their cupcakes. What used to be delicious fresh goodness has become dryed out, stale tasting cupcakes. "What is happening, Susie?!" Consistently the last 4 times we have ordered their cupcakes, they have been dry. Seemingly days old. The bread is dry and almost hard. Definitely not up to my standards. Now, this is in regards to walk -in and Postmates delivery, it seems like the vanilla, lemon flavors the cake is dry, on the stale side, always now. Not sure what's going on but they are NOT the cupcakes I remember in the beginning. The chocolate cupcake seems to be a bit more on the moist side yet still not fresh. In order for me to return as a customer, things need to change. Until then... read more

We picked up one slice of lemon cake and a carrot cake cupcake. The desserts look so delicious and are beautifully prepared but I come here for the taste. Both had a good flavor to them but I disliked the overwhelming frosting on both of them which I had to scrape off. Again the flavor was good but nothing over the top which would have earned them more stars. read more

I wasn't able to make the Holidayfest on South Lake Ave this year, but luckily, my mom and sister could and they were able to bring me a delicious red velvet cupcake! It was a day old, but it was still moist and it tasted fresh enough. The cake itself wasn't too sweet, but the delicious cream cheese frosting that covers the top and goes into the middle of the cupcake has got the sweet department covered. The frosting is super sweet, as many other reviewers will mention, but it acts as a perfect pairing with the more subtle cupcake. I really enjoyed that red velvet sugar rush, that I came back a few weeks later so that I could try some of their other cupcake flavors! The shop is small, so it's easy to miss if you're quickly going down (or up) South Lake Ave, but it is close to the Granville restaurant. When I dropped by, the shop was crowded with lots of holiday shoppers ordering and picking up their cakes, while the bakers were in the back busily taking and making orders. I looked to their large display case of sweets and I saw the coconut flavored cupcake, a heavenly chorus started harmonizing in my head, and I knew that I had to try that one next! I read on Yelp that the birthday cake cupcake is also really popular, but it isn't my birthday, so I think I'll just have to wait 8 more months. Although the store was super busy, the ordering process is quick and my order came out so fast that I didn't even have time to snap more photos (I'm a very introverted, laggy photographer, and my camera takes much too long to warm up). I got my bundle of joy to go, since I was just too full to eat it right away, so I ended up testing the stability limits of Susie's cupcakes again, and I ate this one 2 days later. I wanted to have the freshly baked experience of eating a cupcake, so I microwaved it for a few seconds, just enough for the frosting to melt slightly, and it was AMAZING! The warmed up cake and melty frosting was delicious, I took one bite and I teleported to Susie's bake shop faster than when you encounter a wild Abra in Pokemon Blue Version. I would definitely recommend adding some heat to enhance your Susie Cakes dessert consuming experience. But eating the cupcake cold works out just fine too! read more
