    Strawberry, Pineapple Upside Down, and Lemon cupcakes
    Michele T.

    First time at SusieCakes. We couldn't decide which cake we wanted to try as there were many that caught our attention, so we decided to get cupcakes to share - strawberry, pineapple upside down, and lemon. We all liked the strawberry frosting the most. The cake for the pineapple upside down had some pineapple bits. Unfortunately, all of the cakes were dry. Friend who has had SusieCakes on several occasions noted that the dry cakes were a first for her. Not the greatest first impression for us.

    I ordered a vintage black, red velvet cake for my friend's wedding. Not only did it taste amazing and the cake was not dry at all... BUT IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL WE DIDN'T EVEN WANT GO SLICE IT!! Thank you all staff in San Carlos for helping me with this cake! It was so beautiful, and I followed the directions to a T!!

    We have been to several Susiecakes locations including San Jose, Menlo Park, and today the San Carlos location. They have a lot of yummy cakes, cookies and cupcakes. We usually get a slice of either the carrot cake, coconut cake, or lemon cake. We've also had some of their cupcakes. All are delicious but we really like the coconut cake. You can also purchase an entire cake but we find their slices are very generous and good enough for 2 people to share. Ambiance - more of a takeout place than eat in Service - excellent

    Susie cakes is a spot in the downtown area of San Carlos, not really a sit in and eat type place but they do have lots of baked goods on display and would be great for bringing to a party since they look great and easy for a snack. Cupcakes have just the good amount of frosting and the cake itself is very moist and fluffy. I like that it is not very dense but might be a little too light for the frosting but who knows, My kid just eats the frosting and doesn't eat the cake part. They decorate based on the season but I really like the strawberry cupcake. They must mix in fresh strawberry into the frosting or have a really good flavoring as it is fresh and very light. The red velvet has a good cream cheese frosting and the standard chocolate and vanilla ones are less sugary than the grocery chains. The staff there is usually very friendly and will help answer questions as needed. Overall good spot if you need a quick sugar rush or need to get something for a party.

    I stop for a treat from here every time I am in town. This months special flavor is cranberry orange, and I had too high of hopes for it. While it was good enough to eat, it was not my favorite and I wouldn't order it again. No worries though because I got a backup red velvet so no love lost!

    We ordered chocolate chip cookie, peanut butter cookie, snickerdoodle cookie and flourless cupcake. Everything was yummy. It got super busy after lunch. Guess everyone was craving sweets! Service was quick and friendly.

    SusieCakes is the only place where I can truly enjoy cupcakes. I tried all different flavors for my birthday, and every single one was amazing. The service is always welcoming, and the ambiance has the feel of a modern, bright bakery that makes the experience even better. Already excited for their fall banana cake. I just need to come up with an occasion to get it.

    Very nice place for baked goods! The interior and many of the products are all quite colorful which lends itself to a super fun vibe as soon as you enter the store. A peanut butter cookie + peanut butter buttercream sandwich caught my eye as I walked in and I'm happy to report that it was quite tasty overall with actual real peanuts and no artificial flavorings. I think it could have been even less sweet to let the nutty flavors shine even more, but overall, wasn't face-scrunchingly sweet like many of the American bakeries out there. Saw a fun pineapple coconut cake that I want to try next time!

    Old-Fashioned 6-Layer Chocolate Cake
    Shruti Y.

    Favorite chocolate cake of all time! This is my favorite place to get their famous 6 layer old fashioned chocolate cake slice. I've been going here since I discovered them almost 7 years ago! Parking is usually easy to find, the interior is clean and all things pastel, service is quick.

    Tropical coconut cake
    Sho R.

    This is a small, clean cake shop. I was there to order a birthday cake. Their old fashioned chocolate was a hit with the kid. I also got a slice of their carrot cake and tropical coconut cake. I liked those flavors, but my kid didn't like it anywhere close to the old fashioned chocolate. Old fashioned chocolate is their top flavor for a reason.

    Carrot cake slice , & pumpkin cupcake
    Hieu L.

    Susie cakes is one of my favorite bakeries for specialty cakes. Quality wise it is definitely a step up. My go to is the carrot cake and in my opinion it's worth it to pay that extra money for the quality. It's a perfect amount of balance between sweetness, nuts, and carrots and cream cheese that balances perfectly. When I want a little sweet treat I normally get a slice of cake, but have sometimes ordered a whole cake for special occasions and celebrations. I wish there was more locations in the Southbay and it's located in the downtown area so parking could be tough. Workers are always pretty friendly here and Try to work as quickly as possible to package everything up, But if there is a line be patient.

    Flourless Chocolate and vanilla
    Sarah L.

    Very friendly and attentive staff. The store is clean and bright. Love the presentation of the cakes and cupcakes. The flourless chocolate cupcake is best heated up in my opinion otherwise it's a bit dry and stiff, but warmed up it's lovely. The vanilla cupcake is a bit tougher than I'd like as well. I'd like to try their regular chocolate next time.

    Take Out Bag
    Sylvia L.

    It was my first time visiting. The place is so stunning when you walk in! ORDER We got a slice of candy cane chocolate cake, mocha cupcake and chocolate chip cookie. STARS (stand out qualities) -Location is easy to get to by car or public transportation -Store is clean and beautiful -Staff are friendly and helpful -All desserts we tried were good quality but too sweet for me (especially cake and cupcake) -Mocha cupcake has a strong mocha flavor in the frosting -Candy cane cake has nice peppermint jam in between slices -Cookie was nice and crispy. I personally like chewier cookies STAIRS (areas of growth) -If possible, reduce the sweetness but maybe some customers like it sweeter. Maybe offer less sweet options TIPS -There is free street parking available -If you download and sign up for app, you can get a free slice of cake on your birthday at!

    Tropical Coconut Cake for my birthday!

    Great cakes. Used for a family event and we loved the flavor. Only drawback was limited availability of colors for piping words.

    Cakes are the best not home made out there. Absolutely love them. Cupcakes are consistently dry and I would skip those.

Comfortable atmosphere and pretty clean. Customer Service - 5/5 Customer service was solid. The server was attentive and warned me the baked spaghetti plate would be hot before serving it. Small details like that always make the experience feel better. Food - 4/5 4.5/5 Dish Ordered: Baked Spaghetti One of the classics at a Hong Kong Café. Honestly tasted like childhood. The sauce was delicious, rich, and comforting without being overwhelming. Everything was cooked just right and came out piping hot. Hit or Miss: Hit. Definitely something I would come back for again. 3/5 Drink Ordered: Hong Kong Style Milk Tea It was okay. Nothing bad about it, but nothing super memorable either. Pretty standard flavor overall. Hit or Miss: Slight Hit. Would drink it again if I was already there, but not something I'd specifically crave. Additional Comment: Overall, pretty solid experience. Nothing was mind blowing, but everything was done well. The baked spaghetti was definitely the highlight for me and the service helped make the meal enjoyable. I'd come back mainly for the spaghetti and a comfortable casual meal.

    It's eh, kinda priced up though for sure…read more My go to is a baked dish. The quality kinda varies- the baked fish fillet with white cream sauce was good. Cheesy, tender, egg fried rice was flavorful. Portion kinda small, as the dish was very shallow. Not a lot of rice. Kinda off tho when it was the first dish that arrived to the table and it was lukewarm. I find a baked dish is typically always last since it needs time to bake, and is served scalding hot imo. That's when you know it's done right. This wasn't that. Suss The baked pork chop with cheese and tomato sauce was so disappointing and super greasy/heavy. The meat was chewy and had an unpleasant flavor. The tomato sauce was not good either. The shrimp wonton noodle soup I sadly cannot recommend, the filling was not good. Had more pork than shrimp consistency. I did not enjoy the flavor. Not aromatic. I will say, the noodles were great quality. Thin, bouncy, correct texture. What you would hope for. The soup was not good. The roast duck was good, with tender meat and fatty skin. Flavorful with the plum sauce. The fish congee was good, though a bit too runny imo once cooled down. The fried donut (you tiao) was crunchy and very doughy. Would be nice if they could slice it. I can agree with everyone about their thoughts on the 18% mandatory tip fee, it's crazy lol. Mandatory service fee for hk service (which is minimal service). It was so hard to flag down the waiter for refilling water, or to get more napkins. The place was empty and they were on their phone the whole time. Waiting for that automatic tip. Whatever man.
