    Amazing! Josel is so sweet and amazing to work with. We decided pretty late what kind of wedding cake we wanted to do and Josel immediately made time for us to discuss what we were looking for and meet with us to do a tasting. Quality of the cake is great and flavors were so good. We kept sending her inspo pictures of the type of marble look we were going for and she would create samples of it and send us pictures. We provided our feedback and she adjusted and sent more samples until it was perfect. We also wanted an invisible tier and she was able to find one exactly the same as the sample pictures we showed her. She was so easy to work with and would highly recommend. We are so happy we went with her for our cake!

    If you're looking for custom cakes, desserts she's the one that can do it all. She very easy to get along with and will communicate and get you what you need. Took me by surprise w this cake. I really didn't expect it to look that good. You just have to let her know in advance set up the date. I will most def go back to her again when I need a custom cake. Great customer service. Keep doing what you love

    Everyone raved on how great it tasted and it was absolutely beautiful. The Vanilla De Leche was amazing! There were so many flavors to choose from. I highly recommend Sweet Escake!

    Our first time to order a customize cake from the very sweet and kind owner Josel, and we love it for sure we will keep on coming back to order again!. Also we tried the chocolate crinkles its to die for! Highly recommended to those who want a delicious customize cake! She will also help you how to find the right cake for the said occasion-all in all delish cake and a generous owner.

    She turned our DREAM WEDDING CAKE into reality. I gave her all the pictures of our cake inspiration and she was able to incorporate everything. It's not just the design that was great but also the TASTE OF THE CAKE!!! Omg, you can't find that flavor anywhere. It's only with sweetescake! We thought that we will be having our favorite flavors for our wedding(chocolate or red velvet) but we ended up getting her Specialty flavor! A MUST TRY!!! And now our favorite We ordered a three-tier cake and gosh!!! If only that was zero calories. We would finish everything! Will recommend her for all custom and non-custom cakes! Thank you so much, Josh!!!

    Wedding cake - vanilla buttercream with real fresh mango filling!

    If you're looking for a delicious, gorgeous and best of all affordable cake for your event then look no further! Josel did our 3-tier wedding cake and we couldn't be happier!! Josel is an aspiring wedding cake baker and wow is she a hidden gem. Josel gave us the all-star treatment and allowed us to try 4-5 different flavors before deciding on vanilla with buttercream and real mango filling to fit our Polynesian themed wedding. She also provided all the floral for a small additional cost which not many other bakers do. She came to our home for the tasting and delivered the cake at our venue in perfect condition in Moorpark, CA. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Plus everyone, I mean EVERYONE, loved our cake!! Some people told me it was even some of the best wedding cake they've ever had! It's not overly sweet and Josel will customize it to your liking based on the tasting (she is so easy to work with!). She was also hundreds of dollars more affordable than some local bakeries that have to pay for staff/a shop, which is great for most brides like me on a budget but still wants their dream cake! Seriously book Josel - you won't regret it! I am recommending her to all my friends getting married!!

    The cake are made to an extremely high standard and not only do look stunning but the taste are amazing!!!Highly recommended!!!I will surely order again!!!

I also ordered a bagel with cream cheese, which they offered to toast for me. The food came out pretty quickly and the person taking my order was pretty patient with me taking my time to look at their menu. The ambiance was nice too - it seems like a cozy enough place for people to hang out and I even saw someone working on their laptop for awhile. I will say the foods looked good but seemed a little pricey for the service size, so I avoided ordering anything else this time. Might check them out in the future.

Pretty much every time which is what pushed me to actually write a review. The food/coffee is way overpriced for what you get as well. When I went recently, they added the up charge to add cold foam and didn't even ask if I wanted it when I went in person. BUT, upon checking the online ordering on their website, it is so much more clear that that was an optional add-on. Kind of felt like they were just upcharging me to upcharge idk... Ambiance was good. Quiet, clean and the plants all around are a great touch. Don't get me wrong, the coffee and food are great, especially the speciality drink. Just be ready to pay over $10 for a drink on the summer specials. Not worth it at all.

Since I work long hours during the week and usually am not up for jumping right up on the weekends, that is cool with me! DH will go over and pick out fresh pastries for us for breakfast/brunch. He'll usually select one savory item and one sweet treat. Often, their Japanese-style egg salad tucked inside a pastry is so perfect for me. The actual dough is like a marriage between a bagel and a croissant. It's lighter than a bagel, but it's flavorful and tender like a croissant, but not flaky. The egg salad filling is just right for my tastebuds, and it provides protein in a fancy, delicious fashion. Today there was a hint of savory garlic on the pastry, and that added a nice flavor accent. Today's sweet pastry was an open-faced tart filled with a smooth, light chocolate base, topped with creamy custard, and then sliced pears on top. Mmm. I like the choice of pears offering a hint of the autumn season ahead. The last time we had out of town guests staying with us, we took my them to Le Herisson one morning. They fell in love with the food and the sweet, simple ambiance. The next morning, my sister-in-law got up early and went back over, bringing back a box of pastries for everyone to share. That definitely tells the story of how much everyone enjoyed the food offerings. It's a special treat to have a quality bakery like this in Simi. We prefer it to another well-regarded bakery on the west end of town, which is a different style and more expensive.

I've been to Italy multiple times and grew up around Italian baking, and this is hands down the best frittelle I've ever tasted. Light, golden, and filled with vanilla custard, then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, it was truly unforgettable. This is a real Italian bakery, and once you step inside, the space completely opens up--high ceilings, a beautiful interior, and a hidden, speakeasy feel you'd never expect from the street. The young man with blonde hair who helped me was so kind, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of the bakery. It made the whole experience even better. The latte was perfectly done as well.

Some of the flavors were really delicious. And some of them needed a little tweaking with the recipe I felt. My family and my neighbors also felt the same. Some were really good and some of them just needed a little work. I had read some of the reviews before going and I'm so glad I did. The hours are all over the place. It's not a place you can just pop in even if you know the hours listed on Yelp. If they sell out they will be closed. I would definitely call or message before just driving over. I would have been upset if I drove all the way over and they were closed. For the flavors, the banana cream was one of my favorites. I liked the white chocolate raspberry and the salted caramel. The pumpkin spiced donut sounded amazing but I was disappointed. It lacked flavor. The cookie dough I didn't love either. If I were having a party or a little gathering, these would make an awesome presentation for your guests. I would only want to get the flavors I tried and loved though.

Hours vary as they're only open until they sell out of various flavors or cheesecake. Service was friendly and the lady answered all my questions. They sell sample packs with small cheesecake bites, or a big $15 piece of cheesecake, which though it may look like 1 serving, most definitely is not. My wife and I both dug into a lemon cheesecake topped with a tasty lemon bar and were full before we could finish it. I'm a lemon bar fan so I stole the most of the lemon bar. Even without the bar on top, the lemon glaze gives it a nice lemon flavor while the cheesecake itself is light yet rich in flavor. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

I went inside and I am a coffee and chocolate lover so I was in awe when I came inside. And of course I had to get my chocolate treat since I didn't have any at home. The shop has this warm, cozy vibe to it. There's seating outside but also all the way in the back. There's an expresso bar in the back and a cute vintage looking set up where you can sit down and enjoy your coffee and treat. I got some chocolate barks (dark chocolate almond bark, milk chocolate almond bark, sugar free milk chocolate almond bark) and the sugar free peanut butter cup and the dark chocolate tiramisu truffle which the girl said is their most popular item. I also got the chocolate chip cookie and omg! Really enjoyed it! It wasn't hard or too soft. It was crispy enough and if you do like it on the softer side, just a little bit in the microwave and it'll come out just right. It tasted like it just came out from the oven. I didn't get coffee because it was too late in the day but I happen to be around the next day and stopped by to get a latte! Although they dont have their flavored lattes on the menu they do have different ones you just gotta ask. I got the iced hazelnut latte which was so good, not a lot of ice, and only $4.50 for a 16oz! I'm excited to know where it is and can't wait to come back! There's a lot of parking since it's in the big shopping center right next to Sprouts.

Recently, however, the drinks have been off. If I pay $5 plus a tip for a drink, then I'd expect the drinks to actually be full.
