Great desserts paired with great people are hard to beat.... I had such a wonderful experience at Sweet Lady Jane's Bakery (Larchmont Village)--and it was all because of the people behind the counter. When staff genuinely enjoy what they do, it shows. It somehow makes even the tried-and-true desserts taste a little better. Great service like this is rare, and it deserves to be recognized. Sam and Kathy, thank you for elevating the entire store experience. Your warmth, energy, and care made my visit memorable and reminded me why this place is so special. You truly take it to the next level. Oh yes! You cannot go wrong Triple Berry Cake and cheesecake. Swing by for the sea salt brownie too. read more

Sweet Lady Jane - Triple Berry Cheesecake 9" - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In L.A. with my wife for a couple months and stopped in to Sweet Lady Jane to order a cake for Valentine's. They asked me if I wanted a message. Sure. "You're The Best". No brainer. Went to pick it up on the day and the half-attentive woman behind the counter opened the box to show me a cake that said "You The Best". I said, "You the best?" She smirked and closed the box, not registering that i t was obviously incorrect. I had to point out why that was a problem, not what I ordered, I was trying to get something nice for my wife, etc. At that point she acted hassled , there was a line, so I just said "forget it", took the cake and walked out. My wife and I had a laugh about it and we're living under a fascist authoritarian takeover, so ultimately who gives a shit, BUT... bottom line? The cake was... FINE. Baffling vis a vis the hype. Not anywhere near worth the price or the phoned-in service. The kicker was I posted their mistake with obvious disappointment on Instagram and they LIKED my post and said "Thank you for sharing! We hope you enjoyed! Please leave a review!" So here I am. It's cake. You can get it elsewhere. read more

I've loved Sweet Lady Jane's Triple Berry Cake for a long time. Back in July 2024, after getting a gel manicure at a nail salon in Larchmont, I noticed that Sweet Lady Jane had opened a location there. I was happy to see it, so I went in and bought two slices of cake. Normally, the Triple Berry Cake has white whipped cream on the outside with mixed berries inside. But that day, they didn't have the usual version -- instead, the only option available had a green exterior with berries inside. I didn't have much choice, so I bought that one. When I got home and tried it, the taste was very strange, and I was honestly disappointed. I haven't been back since then, but I will try the Triple Berry Cake again at a different location someday. read more

An oldie but goodie. Their triple berry cake is a crowd pleaser for any occasion. Recently ordered their game day cake with triple berry on the inside and chocolate frosting-yummy! The last couple times I've been they seem to be short staffed and I always have to wait, but other than that their cakes are always great! read more

If you're ever strolling through Larchmont with a sweet tooth and zero self-control (hi, it's me ‍), you have to step into Sweet Lady Jane. It's the kind of charming bakery that practically calls your name from the sidewalk. I stopped by for a little treat and walked out with a full-on dessert tasting... no regrets. Here's what went down: - Carrot Cake - Chocolate Cake - Vanilla Cake - Apple Pie The Carrot Cake was the clear star. Super moist with just the right amount of spice and that classic, tangy cream cheese frosting that made every bite melt in my mouth. If you're a carrot cake lover, this one delivers. The Chocolate Cake was a close second -- rich, smooth, and indulgent without being over the top. The kind of cake you dream about at midnight. The Vanilla Cake was a solid, sweet classic -- not overly flashy but well-executed and perfect for someone who loves a buttery vanilla flavor. The Apple Pie was rustic and cozy, with a flaky crust and warm, cinnamon-kissed apples. It tasted like something straight out of a holiday dinner. The whole space has an elevated vintage charm, with cakes on display like edible art. Sweet Lady Jane is a must try! read more

This is a great place, I adore the service here! Angel is always a great employee and love seeing him at their Larchmont location, super helpful and kind. Great customer service, the cakes are so beautiful. Absolutely delicious too. The only downside is, if you don't consume sugar as a regular part of your diet, or if you're sensitive to sugar consumption-- this stuff is SUGARY. I buy a single slice and I can't eat it all or I'll get sick. Once a slice lasted me four days because just single bites are SO packed with sugar. You'll get a sugar crash really fast on these. So if you're watching your health, diabetic, or anyone sensitive to sugar I'd be careful about your portions at this location. The cost here is also relatively high, so I'd recommend this place only as an occasional treat or for special occasions-- but it's perfect for those two things. Very cute interior as well! read more

Beautiful store and so many choices. For the Beverly cake today and I'm STOKED to try it.

Very yummy!! Vanilla cupcake has an almost lemon hint. Very nice. Love the lil flowers too. read more

Walked by this bakery and it looked so pretty from the outside so I decided to walk in. Angel and Kathy immediately greeted us with some awesome friendliness! So many delicious choices we couldn't decide and Angel gave us some great choices to choose from. Told him what my mother in law likes since we were looking for a slice to sing her happy birthday and immediately he knew which one we should get. Kathy cut the slice so perfectly. I have a big sweet tooth and will be back! Thank you Angel and Kathy for your great service read more

Sammy was the most and sweet! So helpful and insightful on all their goods. Beautiful shop and amazing vibe!

Love the triple berry cake! Its my go to for birthdays and any other occasion. Chocolate or the regular are both good.

After a long day I love stopping by here for a sweet pick-me-up and their cakes and other baked goods (brownies, tarts, etc) are delicious, and the service is great - shout out to Juan who is so welcoming and helpful! read more

Very sad to write this review. I originally gave this place one star. Seriously. But I'm giving it an extra star because they did give me good service when I got someone on the phone. Still, there are major growing pains this location is still in experiencing. This weekend was my son's 100 day celebration. It's a big big deal in my culture. I initially wanted to get a cake from harucake because they have amazing minimalistic 100 day cakes but they were sold out for the big day. So I remembered SLJ. I had ordered and enjoyed the triple berry cake for my bday last year after having gone so long without my beloved SLJ triple berry cake so I thought I should order it again for my son's 100 day celebration. I wanted to support SLJ's new location too. I saw on the website that they had a more minimalistic white cake design which is what I was looking for so I was really excited. All I wanted on top was "100" in black icing - very minimalistic, chic, simple. I got a call from them a couple days after I ordered and they checked in with me about the font, color, and that I only wanted "100" on it. I confirmed. I felt good knowing they cared enough to call and confirm. I also told them it was a special day. On the day of, I asked my brother to pick up the cake since it's closer to him while I prepped the tablescape for the photoshoot. When my brother picked up the cake, they showed it to him and he told me his jaw dropped at how awful the typography was. It looked like an intern or someone with no experience had done it. They told him this is what I ordered. My brother told me at this point he didn't know he could reject the cake when I already paid for it and they told him this is what I ordered. It's not like they can easily erase black icing on a white cake - would we be left w a gray topped cake? So anyway he accepted it, brought it to my house. We opened the box and ALL OF OUR JAWS DROPPED. How is it possible that the famous Sweet Lady Jane with the tried and true iconic triple berry cake w normal frosting could look like this? I immediately wondered if this would have happened had I just ordered the regular version of this that they make every day. The cake I got recently from them was fine. This one was embarrassing. For the price and fame you expect a certain level of professionalism and execution. The cake was the centerpiece for my 100 day table. We had to take photos from a lower angle to avoid showing the font on the cake. The important thing is that it tasted like the normal triple berry cake so it's what's on the inside that counts? We tried to laugh it off and enjoyed our little celebration. Today I was going through the photos and I got triggered and enraged all over again. What in the actual F. I dm'd the IG and no response even though I had spoke to them before and I can see that they read my message. I went on their website and filed a complaint. I called the store to finally talk to someone. I explained how upset I was about this cake for my sons's special day. The manager apologized and explained that the cake decorator was not in that day and that the cashier went ABOVE AND BEYOND to write "100" on my cake. Whoa whoa whoa. You are telling me that your experienced baker was not in so you made an executive decision to ask the cashier who has no baking experience to write with BLACK icing on a WHITE cake??? Without asking the customer if they'd be okay with it? He then explained that had I seen the cake and rejected it they could have made it right on the day of. I explained that it wasn't me who picked it up so it was too late by the time it got to me. He also mentioned that he gets his cakes from elsewhere(???) and that the fonts on those cakes are horrible... more horrible than what I got is what I'm assuming he was trying to say. Did he also pay $85 for a 6" cake from a famous cake store only to receive a cake w horrible fonts? When you are SLJ ppl expect a certain level of taste + looks. I don't want to be surprised on a busy day with how awful the centerpiece looks. He offered me a 20% refund because there is no extra charge for writing something on the cake and he was sorry. I told him that the partial refund is nice but honestly going forward it would be better for them as a business to communicate these choices with the customer. He reiterated again that I could have rejected it if I saw it and didn't like it and that the cashier went ABOVE AND BEYOND. The IG also dm'd me finally to offer a partial refund. Again, it's about putting in a better communication process with the customer. I get that you are a growing business and that you just opened this location so please listen to your customers who love your cakes... just call us BEFORE you make wild decisions like this. The person ordering the cake isn't always the one picking it up and they have no idea what you and I talked about nor would they feel like they have the authority to reject a cake in my behalf. read more

Surprised the reviews aren't better. I think this place (at least my delivery order) was great! The packaging is so cute and very posh. I ordered 3 different items and loved them all. The cake itself is very moist with the right amount of little air pockets. I would love to order a big cake for a celebration. Maybe the princess cake for my forever 27th. I love the homemade taste and fresh ingredients. Bringing the out of town relatives here! read more

Angel and Sammy. The dynamic duo here! Both were so helpful and kind. Ordered a 14" TBC for my daughter's 6th birthday. Angel made sure to call me the day before scheduled pickup to confirm and make sure the special requests were confirmed. Day of pickup: Sammy and angel were both on scene and made sure the cake was perfect. During transport across the street, I pushed the box and a small area of the frosting was damaged. Angel made sure that it was repaired perfectly and was even willing to deliver the cake once it was finished. Although we were on a time crunch, we told angel and Sammy we could wait 20 mins for them to fix the damage I caused. Thx u boys for everything! And thank you for covering my butt! read more

Sweet Lady Jane - 14" Triple Berry Cake - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First off all the way that we just sped back over here for a slice of The Beverly should be studied! Hahaha we had the amazing triple berry cake at a friends birthday party so we decided to check it out one weekend. We got the sea salt brownie, the strawberry cupcake, birthday confetti, as well as, the carrot cake and The Beverly (don't judge us we like to taste a lot of things)! We loved everything (and I mean everything) but I personally LOVED AND AM OBSESSED WITH THE BEVERLY CAKE! The service matches the cakes because Juan Carlos is amazing and is always friendly and gently encourages me to try a new different sweet treat and he's never led me wrong! Get Beverly from my man Juan Carlos he's the best! read more

I can only speak about my experience as a customer who purchased through the "too good to go" app. The bakery is super cute with so many pastries to pick from. We tried their red velvet cake and chocolate cake. I've never had such moist cake, rich with buttery flavor. It's the only cake I keep raving about. The worker was super helpful and polite. I will definitely be ordering again soon. read more

Haven't tried all locations but what I have tried has been consistent and they deserve praise for this and their lovely, thoughtful and delicious cakes. The attention to detail and level of sweetness is chef's kiss. Cake is never dried out and the flavor combinations are gorgeous. For example, the white chocolate lemon is perfectly balanced and decadent while still feeling elegant...like the way wedding cake should be but so often is not. The new Venetian is also a tiramisu lover's dream. I'm grateful they're still around and producing such high quality cakes! read more

the best cakes and treats in LA. A perfect stop for everyone for holidays or birthdays. JC was amazing with the service and support.

A friend and I stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon. We parked on a side street near the residential area- the farmer's market was going on so parking was especially difficult to find! The person working at the counter was nice enough to answer our questions about the desserts we were interested in. He mentioned we could just get a slice of any of the cakes if we didn't want the whole cake. Prices were decent with slices averaging $13. My friend ended buying a cupcake and some smaller items. The nice customer service person ended up adding a complimentary slice of the princess cake since he wanted us to try it ! It was the most delicious cake I've had in a while. The layers of custard went so well with the outer layer of marzipan. I hope to come back and get another slice of the princess cake! read more

Juan Carlos is the kindest, best salesman. He convinced us how incredible all the treats were, and was so knowledgeable! We got brownies, a slice carrot cake, the berry trifle, and a linzer cookie. I literally can't pick a favorite, they're all so good and unique, and extremely fresh! I cannot wait to come back! The store was also extremely clean and well organized, and there was a cute seating area outside with all the pretty Larchmont village lights. Perfect first experience at SLJ. read more

Walked in for pick up of an order. Staff was very friendly, I was greeted with a smile and staff was able to fulfill my order just as pre-planned. Very professional. Place was clean and service was fast. The cake and cup cakes were so delicious! It's always a pleasure coming here. Highly recommend. read more

So delicious!!! Tried the New York cheesecake, and the little bites of sea salt chocolate and the lemon bar. Everything was so amazing and Juan Carlos was an absolute sweet heart, definitely coming again. read more

Grabbed me and my wife a coffee here and they have one of the best cups on Larchmont. They sell La Colombe Coffee and the Juan Carlos was working had great customer service. I'm going to look into buying a cake here for my son's next birthday. I'll be back for sure. read more

Angel & Sammy are the best ! So happy you guys are on larchmont ! Cake is fabulous and yummy!

I recently purchased the Beverly Birthday Cake from Sweet Lady Jane Bakery for a friend's party, paying $140 plus an additional $30 for custom decorations. While the cake itself was delicious (reason for the 2 stars), the experience with their customer service, particularly with Nally, was extremely disappointing. I specifically requested no white flowers on the cake, opting for "Happy Birthday" written in gold with gold glitter around the cake. Nally assured me this could be done with the upcharge. However, when I picked up the cake, the writing was brown, blending into the dark chocolate shell and barely visible. To add to my frustration, the cake was covered in the very white flowers I explicitly asked them to leave off, and the glitter was uneven. There were also visible deformities on the cake--certainly not what I expected from a $170 cake. I brought these issues to Nally's attention, and the only thing acknowledged was the writing error, for which I was offered a $30 refund. There was no mention of the flowers or the cake's poor appearance or deformities. To make matters worse, it took close to two weeks, 3 follow-up emails, a call to the manager at the Larchmont location (who was very helpful and friendly) and communicating to Nally that although I'd love to resolve this directly with Sweet Lady, if i didn't receive a response i would need to contact my credit card company to ensure it was addressed before an email was sent that I was issued the $30. I caution anyone considering Sweet Lady Jane to proceed carefully, especially if you're expecting attention to detail and professional customer service. Simple instructions were not followed, and communication was non-existent. read more

Cakes are ok here. For the price I would say Lady M is way better. Small 9" cake almost $100. For $120 you can get a way better tasting cake elsewhere. I don't think we will go to Lady Jane anymore. read more

I've been wanting to try Sweet Lady Jane for over a decade and stumbled upon this location by chance, which made my day even sweeter (no pun intended). Food: I purchased two cookies, a scone, and a brownie. Unfortunately, they all tasted at least a day old. They were dry and just average at best. The prices were not reasonable either: $5.50 for each cookie, $6 for the brownie, and $8 for the scone. None of it was worth it. Service: The service was fine. The staff was helpful but didn't say much. I was the only customer in the store, and they were just talking amongst themselves. One person said hello, and that was it. Ambiance: The ambiance was less than what I expected. It felt like an old store that needs a fresh facelift. For some bizarre reason, I didn't feel comfortable the minute I walked into the store. It didn't feel inviting or welcoming. To be honest, I was going to walk straight out and not buy a thing based on how I felt, but since I've been dying to try this place out for so long, I wanted to give it a shot. I don't think I'll be returning to this bakery. If they couldn't get their simple cookies, scones, and brownie right, then I can't imagine how I can justify spending $12 per slice of cake, or over $100 for a whole one. read more

I wish I could make this a five-star review for the service alone, which is excellent. Everyone that works at Sweet Lady Jane is extremely welcoming and pleasant. As for the cakes. It's a conflicting situation where I do not dislike the cakes, but can recognize both a change in the recipe, and as another reviewer commented, a synthetic aftertaste to the frosting. Also, these aren't cakes for sugar-fiends, as they aren't indulgently sweet. I find the signature, Triple Berry Cake to be very plain Jane (see what I did there). The Heavenly Dark Chocolate Cake: simply put, the chocolate cake itself is dry. As for the dark chocolate frosting and ganache--the ganache is perfect; subtly sweet, silky chocolate. The frosting, however, has an almost waxy texture; it's not an off-putting taste, per se, just weird... The Chocolate Almond Crunch Cake: same chocolate cake base as the aforementioned cake, chocolate frosting, layers of whipped cream, and a generous amount of almonds. The almonds and whipped cream make me forget about how dry the chocolate cake itself is. An improvement over the Heavenly Dark Chocolate Cake, if only the chocolate cake could be moist! The White Chocolate Lemon Cake: the fact that this is my favorite Sweet Lady Jane cake speaks volumes; unless it's a lemon bar, rest assured I'm not batting an eye in the direction of the lemon dessert. The vanilla cake itself is moist, subtly sweet and allows for the lemon curd and white chocolate frosting to standout. A solid cake, even with the consistently waxy, frosting texture. The Princess Cake: I have had Princess Cake maybe three times in my life--I love Sweet Lady Jane's version of it. From the raspberry jam, the marzipan frosting, to the vanilla pastry cream--Sweet Lady Jane nailed it with this cake. The Beverly: Third favorite, Sweet Lady Jane cake. What works? Almost everything. Why? The vanilla cake, which is actually moist; the smooth chocolate ganache, and the layers of vanilla pastry cream. Yeah, it still has that waxy, chocolate frosting between the vanilla cake layers as well, but with every other, highlighting component, that's an afterthought... Sea Salt Caramel Brownie Bite: If you like caramel and dark chocolate, this will be right up your alley. A perfect, post-lunch treat. Dark Chocolate Walnut Brownie Bite: I prefer the caramel version of the brownie bites, but this one is quite tasty as well. The cheesecakes: sadness all around. Cheesecake is my favorite dessert--period. I tried both the Triple Berry and Oreo Cheesecake...and the cheesecake base was...crumbly? How on earth do you get crumbly cheesecake? The Oreo whipped cream has the same waxy texture of the cake frostings, but it's flavorless...I used to adore Sweet Lady Jane's cheesecakes, often favoring them over other LA cheesecake staples such as Urth Cafe, Magnolia Bakery, and dare I say it, The Alcove. I can't find a more eloquent way to phrase this--Sweet Lady Jane's cheesecakes are mediocre versions of their predecessors. Mixed opinions on Sweet Lady Jane as a whole; some cakes are standouts, some are average-at-best, and some are just failures. What happened, Sweet Lady Jane? You used to be great... read more
