    I used Babycakes for my wedding in July! I absolutely love cake, so it took me a long time to…read moreresearch flavors, designs, and prices. I was able to email quite a bit with Cassie, who was helpful and made good suggestions. I ended up going with a 2 tier round cake, top tier was Vanilla Raspberry and bottom tier was Chocolate Peanut Butter. It was moist and decadent and held together great. At the end of the night there were only a few pieces left, it was a hit with everyone!

He perfectly described each flavor profile and how each rated in popularity. He was so sweet and personable. He even included birthday candles in the box! We each tasted one of our picks (my birthday isn't until tomorrow) and saying they didn't disappoint would be a huge understatement! Danny ate his German Chocolate cupcake: Chocolate Cake, German Chocolate filling injected into the center & topping with coconut & walnuts and fudge frosting. I chose my Lemon Bavarian: Lemon cake, lemon Bavarian frosting and finished with dollop of lemon curd on top and injected into the middle. Every part of the cupcakes were unique, and delicious all by themselves. They have another location in Hillcrest and one in Imperial Beach!

    La Concha Bakery is one of my all time favorite panaderia's. Located in the heart of Chula Vista,…read moreit is a family-owned bakery that specializes in traditional pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), and custom cakes! Known for their fresh, daily-baked pastries, it features a self-service (tray-and-tongs) experience in a clean, welcoming environment! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Always making great recommendations for their customers! Parking can be a bit tricky with very few spaces available. Pricing is somewhat higher than it used to be, but then again so is everything else (like gas, lol). They have a great selection of conchas, polvorones, fresh bolillos, empanadas (chicken, beef, jalapeño cream cheese), and custom cakes! Typically, I get the empanadas de piña 10/10! They're so freaking delicious! They feature a golden, buttery, and flaky crust that shatters perfectly when bitten. Inside, they're filled with a rich, jammy pineapple filling that balances bright, tropical sweetness with a sharp, fruity tartness! Highly recommended!

    I came in for the first time during Día de los Muertos and honestly the experience was a mix of…read morehighs and lows. The moment you walk through the door, the smell of fresh baked pan hits you and it is everything. The selection of pan dulce and bolillos had me feeling like I was back in Mexico City. So many options, beautifully displayed. That part alone almost made the trip worth it. But the customer service... yeah, I'm not the only one who noticed. I asked the lady at the register in Spanish if there was any chocolate pan de muerto and she completely ignored me. Like, didn't even look up. Just called someone from the back in Spanish, which, mija, I understood every word. The girl who came to help me was a little better but not much. She told me the chocolate pan de muerto was sold out, which fine, I get it, it was a holiday. But that's literally all you had to say. No smile, no "sorry we're out," nothing. Just took my money and that was that. The panadería itself deserves five stars. The staff needs some work. I'll probably go back for the pan because it really is that good, but I'm keeping my expectations low on the service side.

The service has always been good, and they are consistently fast and helpful with their customers. They have a huge selection, but of course, you can't forget their famous strudel--definitely something worth trying! This place is also special to me because they made my wedding cake back when the original owners were still around. It's great to see that the new owners have continued the tradition while making a lot of nice upgrades to the business. I can really appreciate the improvements. Overall, great quality, good service, plenty of selection, and a business with history. It may cost a little more, but in my experience, it's well worth it. Definitely worth stopping by and giving them a try!

    I've had so many cakes and desserts from Hans & Harry's Bakery over the years, but this was…read moreactually my first time visiting the bakery myself. My sister usually picks up our orders for parties and events. My biggest issue with Hans & Harry's has always been the inconsistency. I'll try something that is absolutely delicious, order it again, and the next time it's just not as good or doesn't taste as fresh. Then I'll move on to something else, love it, and eventually have the same experience. I still keep coming back because they have such a huge selection and, when something is good, it can be really good. Unfortunately, the inconsistency in taste, freshness, and quality can be disappointing. The cherry turnover has been my one reliable favorite that has never disappointed me. Today I ordered a custard pastry shaped like a turnover and a walnut cinnamon braid. Unfortunately, neither tasted particularly fresh, and both were very doughy. The custard filling itself was delicious, but the pastry was much more like a sweet bread than the light, flaky pastry I was expecting. When I asked the employee about it, he didn't really explain that it was more of a sweet bread; he simply agreed that it was fluffy. Had I been craving a sweet bread, I might have enjoyed it more. The walnut cinnamon braid was even more disappointing. One bite was enough for me to decide it wasn't worth the calories! I wanted that first bite to be full of cinnamon, butter, and walnuts--the kind of bite that makes you immediately want another. Instead, it was bland and doughy. Unfortunately, I've experienced the same inconsistency with their cakes and fruit strudel, which I order regularly for parties. Sometimes they are absolutely to die for, and other times they're just not that great. There's obviously a reason I continue coming back: Hans & Harry's has an incredible variety, and I know how good their desserts can be. I just wish the freshness and quality were more consistent from one visit to the next.

    I've been Sylvia's customer for years, and I can't thank her enough for all the beautiful cakes…read moreshe's made for me throughout the years. Every time I order from her, I send her inspiration photos of how I want my cake to look, but when I pick it up, she always exceeds my expectations. From the decorations to the taste and flavor, her cakes are absolutely amazing. Sylvia is one of the kindest people I've ever met, and she truly values her customers. I remember ordering my daughter's 7th birthday cake, but she told me she would be out of state and wouldn't be able to take my order. Even so, she found a way to accommodate my request. She made my daughter's cake before leaving for her vacation just to make sure my daughter would still have her special birthday cake. That kindness is something I'll never forget. Most recently, I ordered my wedding cake from her. Once again, she went above and beyond my expectations. She even made my cake larger than what I had ordered without charging me extra because she wanted to make sure I had enough cake for all of my guests. That level of generosity and thoughtfulness is so rare. Sylvia is the most incredible baker I've ever met. Her cakes are consistently delicious, beautifully designed, and even better than the inspiration photos I send her. Her customer service is exceptional, and she genuinely cares about making every occasion special. I can't thank her enough for all the cakes she's made for me, my children, and my husband over the years. Whether I order months in advance or have a last-minute request, Sylvia always goes above and beyond to make it happen. She consistently exceeds my expectations with her creativity, delicious cakes, and exceptional customer service. I truly can't thank her enough for making every celebration for my family so special. I will continue to support her and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing baker.
