Got my pup his birthday cake here & the staff were incredibly warm & accommodating. Tons of goodies here!!

This is our go to shop for the cutest doggy bakery items! We come every year for our girls birthday. Our dachshund is EXTREMELY picky, she only eats specific treats/food. However, she LOVES the treats from here! The shop is small & cute with a good selection of treats, bakery items, some toys & other dog essentials. Each time we come the workers are always so nice & helpful. We can't wait to come back!

Celebrating birthdays is not just for humans; it's also for your pets, who are pretty much your entire life. The Dog Bakery is located in Pasadena and I made an order online to pick it up at the store! The pickup was fast and overall I am super satisfied with the cake! The inside of the store was clean, and it also had snacks and pet accessories, so if you need to pick something else along the way, you got it covered. Sesame also enjoyed the cake and we had a fun birthday for her.

If you want a super happy dog like mine take them for a special treat at The dog bakery! My pups loved looking at and smelling everything in the store. They had a bowl of water for them too. The staff was very nice and was in the middle of making a birthday cake. Super cute for a pups birthday! My pups liked the Oreos!

Yvonne B.

Located on the bustling Colorado Blvd, this quaint shop has all the treats, goodies and supplies that every dog owner needs. My dog approved! I loved browsing their cookies and cake selections. The spring collection is so cute! Additionally, puppy scoops?! Such a fun treat, I'll definitely come back to get my doggo more!

Conveniently located in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, this bakery offers a variety of dog cakes for celebrations. For my dog's special 11th birthday I ordered him a round cake a day ahead online and the process with easy and straightforward. It is a bit on the pricier side granted only my dog would be eating the cake but the decor and presentation is great. They allow you to customize the colors, toppings and the shape. When I went to pickup the cake, the employee was friendly and helped me with my order even though I didn't have the receipt with me.

Veganush B.

My dog is soo picky and usually won't eat just anything, so I pleasantly surprised that he loved the pawcakes! The desserts are adorable, and it's clear they're made with care. The service was also great, everyone was friendly and welcoming. Definitely excited to come back and pick up more treats for him to try

Priscila F.

This dog bakery is super cute, they offer cupcakes and dog treats. Their staff is super friendly and helpful, I stopped by and got a half a dozen of their most popular treats for my dog. My dog is not used to these type of treats so I'm excited to have him try them.

Amanda L.

Ordered a cake online for my dog's 1st birthday. I was able to select shape, and customize color details & writing. I was notified when the cake would be ready and picked it up. It was a smooth pick up process - I was told to thaw it for 1-2 hours for consumption. The cake came out so cute! Since my dog is small, we had so much leftover, which I shared with another doggy friend and both dogs loved the cake. It is adorable as it is good! I personally did try it.. Really professional service and good product!

My dog loved the cake! It was so easy to order and ready the following day : )

My dog loved the cake! Easy to order and it was ready the following day! Thank you so much!

Such a cute little doggy shop! They have all sorts of homemade treats displayed as well as other packaged goodies. I stumbled upon this place because I wanted to throw my dog a birthday party and wanted a cake. Knowing that my dog is kinda picky when it comes to treats I wasn't sure if she would like the cake or not so I decided to take her in to sample similar treats. At first she didn't liked it too much but I bought some to go and she devoured it! The treats are so cute too! They're about $2.50 each treat, some includes two. I signed up online for their newsletter and was able to receive a 20% online order. I find it cool that they can ship the cakes anywhere! I ordered it online but picked it up in-store. Came the day of, pick up was a breeze. I ordered the 12 inch pink bone ($30.99) and it was prefect! I was informed it was frozen and to thaw it before serving which was perfect timing for the party. The cake was a total hit! Baby girl devoured it! The good thing is you can store the leftovers in the freezer for a month. I give her a piece every now and then! read more

I came in this afternoon to pick-up a cake for my mom's dog Kona. The lady that was there was very helpful and answered all the questions I had. She even let me leave the cake, the treats I bought Kona, as well as some lunch I picked up on the way on the counter while I ran to get my car a block and half away. It was pouring out so I thought that was very sweet and thoughtful of her to let me pull up and load everything in my car instead of walking with a handful of stuff in the pouring rain. Just that one gesture will make me come back here whenever I want to spoil Kona with treats, cakes or maybe even a new outfit. If you love your dog, do stop by here and check out what they have. Online orders were seamless and I left a very happy and dry customer! =) Just an fyi, if it's your first time going, they are located in the alley between yogurtland and Jake's on Mills Pl. read more

Super cute boutique dog supply store in Old Town Pasadena. It's located in a little alleyway so keep your eyes peeled. They sell all things dogs- dog collars, feeding bowls, toys, bow ties, raw hides and even puppy-safe bakes goods! I stopped by to buy some puppy cookies to celebrate my parents' dog's barkday on Sunday. They have a large variety of cookies, cakes and other treats for Fido. They are $3 ea or $16 for a half dozen. I was tempted to buy the half dozen because it would save money per unit, but then I remembered that my parents' dog is overweight and probably shouldn't have too many treats. Oh, well. I was also tempted to buy my dog a bow tie and a little bandana. They have such a great selection with adorable patterns. When I have more money, I'll definitely be back! read more

Let me just preface this by saying my dog is a picky eater. I bought him some of their cheese cookies upon recommendation by one of the employees who asked me what kind of things he enjoys and he LOVED it. I have never seen him eat a "dry" biscuit treat before until today. Must be very good. And you can also see their freshly baked treats in the back on racks, which has a level of authenticit read more

This place has some of the nicest people working. Don't let the reviews fool you. I'm constantly shopping there and never had a bad experience. Always very friendly and welcoming to pets and their owners. Most companies are from people who don't get their way or just like to complain. If you stop by, you'll be greeted by a great staff. They deserve respect like any human being. Don't be a grown adult complaining that you had to wait a few mins for your dog cake. Remember it's a luxury not a necessity. Five stars to the Pasadena crew for dealing with rude costumers on a daily basis. read more

Tasty treats for Stella's birthday party! THE AMBIANCE: The Dog Bakery ("Dog Bakery") is a small pet shop with dainty treats, cakes, and other pet items. There is a counter that displays the treats, and the cakes are made to order. Apart from this, Dog Bakery carries pre-packaged snacks and toys. THE TREATS: They are super cute. My favorites that I purchased (aesthetic-wise) were the cheese bone, hamburger, and peanut butter and jelly bar. I can't comment on the taste because I didn't try one but the pups at the party loved them. I was going to order a cake but I didn't think it was worth it for the size/price; we had about 13 dogs and the cake is not very big (5 inch circle $22.99, 6 inch heart $28.99, 12 inch bone $30.99). THE TIPS: Avoid overfeeding the treats! Some of the dog guests overindulged and got diarrhea! It happens to the best of us. read more

We admit it. We spoil our dog. He's such a good boy. Oh yesssssh he is! Ruxin's 4th birthday & 1st Gotcha Day (adoption anniversary) was last week so we wanted to give him something special to share with his Corgi cousins. It's a cute store hidden in an alleyway in downtown Old Pasadena. There was a 90-minutes-free parking structure a block to the west which was a short walk away. All the treats in the fridge were so cute that we ended up buying way more than we had intended to. The gals behind the counter had a good sales pitch and also explained how to freeze the leftover treats & how long they'll last when left out. So, why not? Ended up spending $36. Ruxin's pretty good while in pet stores. He looks & sniffs, but doesn't touch. Lots of temptation within reach and he handled it beautifully. One of the gals came out to give him some jerky treats for being well-behaved. The Corgi cousins got excited when we put some treats out in front of them. They've been there before & know how yummy everything is. We split the treats with their mom and there's still plenty to last for weeks. Ruxin jumps for joy when I open the fridge and he sees me pull out that bag. He's partial to anything peanut butter! We'll be back for special occasions. read more

As someone who is conscientious with the ingredients I put into my tummy (well within reason..you DO only live once), I only want the same, if not better, for my two lovely doodles. Thankfully I live within walking distance from this cute little bakery! They have tons of yummy baked goods here that I bring home to my boys. Some of it smells and look so frickin tasty that their daddy (my human boyfriend) would eat it sometimes, especially the double stuffed cookies. Then he'd ask for milk...I am sooo not kidding. My mom is the type of person who thinks a $5 shirt is too expensive and even she will easily drop $20 here for her grand-dogs. Sometimes Groupons and the other group savings site will have coupons for this place. Make sure you keep your receipts though. They had no indication of me paying for the birthday cake I ordered even though they had already charged me. I had to pull up my bank statement on my phone to show them to make sure they didn't charge me twice. The clerks are generally helpful and nice, though may be a little slow at times. read more

I like picking up the baked treats for my corgi's birthday. Not only are they really cute and great for fun photos, they're really fresh and they only use natural ingredients. (I'll admit, I've tasted a little for myself) I like to get an assortment so my pup can try them all. I also got a sample of the cake that was so fresh and soft, i kind of wish i tried it myself before my pup got in the box. The price is very good in my opinion. Typically $2.50 per little treat, but the small ones you get 2 of each so it makes the box look pretty full. After laying out the choices, my pup went for the sample of the cake first. It's really cute watching him sniff and select. He then went for: 1. PB and Yummy 2. Munchkins 3. Peanut butter cookie 4. Pawcakes 5. Carob chip cookies 6. Cheesy bone 7. Donuts 8. Bbq ribs He definitely looked like he enjoyed them all and licked the box clean. He seemed to go for the soft, easy eats first. He ate the frosting off first. I love this place and will continue to get my special occasion dog treats here. read more

What I've tried: -Plain croissant: Some of the best lamination I've ever seen. Large and ultra flakey. Great even 2 days after purchase. Buttery deliciousness. -Pain Au Chocolat: Done very well. Still very flakey and chocalate-y. Melts beautifully when toasted. -Kouign-Amann: Great execution. Crispy but not soggy or too tough from the sugar brulee exterior. Nice hit of finishing salt. Interior was still plush. Delicious. -Almond Croissant: Good but not as stellar as the other pastries. I did enjoy the crunch of the almond slivers and appreciated that the toppings didn't weigh down the pastry dough itself. -Chocolate Chip Cookie: Very good brown butter notes but I wouldn't mind the cookie to be a teeeny bit thicker. -Ricotta Pesto: Delicious. Pesto was pronounced and filling was creamy. Heated up very well and pastry dough maintained all the flakey layers despite the filling in the center. The shop and parking: Parking immediately outside of the shop is paid meter. Free parking is available if you walk about a block or two down behind the shop along the apartment units. It's a short 2-5 minute walk so I'd highly recommend doing that if you can. Just make note of the no parking signs in case there is street sweeping or any restrictions but I've done this several times now with no issues. The shop is relatively small but has a good amount of seating with maybe two tables outside. I've been at different times and only once has there been a line that has gone out the door. Still, it was a short wait (about 12-15 mins). The shop also sells merch like t-shirts and adorable mini tote bags. They also have unique chocolates from different countries of origin for sale. Prices of pastries are on the higher end but they are very high quality given the sourced ingredients and 3 day process. You can actually see them folding and extruding the croissant dough behind the glass if you come at the right time! They have seasonal offerings and an option to pre-order online as well. Overall: Amazing quality. Everything you would want and expect from laminated pastries. Will continue coming back!

Our previous experiences were great, however this time was extremely disappointing. For the price (~$16 per sandwich on Toast), you would expect more substance but this was how it was looking. One measly slice of ham and cheese, and the butter barely tasted present. I'm bummed that such a great recipe has been reduced to this poor excuse of a jamon buerre. Had I known this was what I was going to receive, then I would've spent the money on groceries to make SEVERAL mediocre ham sandwiches instead. The two stars come from the attitude of the server, Karla. She was extremely friendly and that was the only highlight of today's visit.

Old Town Pasadena, California…read more Next to Nana's Green Tea, Delight is A very good French bakery, no breads, but Delight feeds the pastry hunger in me -- all the pastries, cakes and gelati are excellent. There is a smallish macaron counter with popular flavors and can be boxed up to bring home. The house made sandwiches (focaccia), breakfasts and lunch items are very good to excellent also and with great prices. With about 15 tables (a couple of tables for larger groups), there's a steady stream of people here and it would be a matter of time when lines will form out the door. Service is super attentive. The minute you come in the person behind the counter comes to assist. Ohhh almost forgot, savory pastries (caprese and artichoke and cheese) are super well-made and the crusts delightfully light and crispy :-) I keep coming back. End of Yelp.

CAPRESE DANISH: 5/5. Perfectly balanced flavors. Tomatoes were fresh and the balsamic was bright. HAM AND CHEESE CROISSANT: 4/5. I know it would have been SO good if it were warmed up and the cheese were a little melty. KOUIGN AMANN: 3/5. My favorite pastry. Perhaps a personal preference, but I wish the sugar were a little more caramelized. It also was not as rich as I am accustomed to this pastry being.

For one, the matcha powder was not properly whisked with the water (or the water wasn't hot enough) so there were visible clumps of powder throughout the drink. At the bottom of the cup there were small black particles, not sure if that was also the powder or something else. The drink itself tasted mainly like milk a little minty and fishy though. The drink was ready within 3 minutes of orders so I'm not sure what their process of making drinks is. This could've been an off-day but I don't really want to try again to find out.

Note: parking could be a little tricky it's underground behind the restaurant. The restaurant does validate.

The Bottom Line 4 stars: Nice vibe and good service, food and drinks. Recommended!…read more Location 3.5 stars: In Pasadena, Northwest corner of Lake and Cordova. There is limited street parking and a few free parking spots on the side of the restaurant (usually taken). Or you can use the paid lot next door down the alley. I parked at the lot and was supposedly validated by our server, but upon exiting I was still charged the full price of $1.50 for every 15 minutes!!! Not sure what happened there... Venue 3.5 stars: New, nicely decorated upscale facility with indoor and seating and a full bar. They do also have patio seating which I did not enjoy. The patio is these narrow strips on the front and side of the restaurant. The front side is literally on the sidewalk and the side patio is cramped and facing a bunch of parked cars. Not esthetically pleasing or comfortable. They do have heaters though which were helpful as it was a chilly evening. They take reservations on Resy which I would recommend as they get very busy. Service 4 stars: Friendly and polite. Food 4 stars: Modern Italian-inspired. We had the Hamachi Crudo and the Lamb Chops as appetizers. Lamb Chops were good. The Crudo was good but a very small portion. We also had the Scaloppine di Pollo, the Charred Scallop Risotto, the Branzino alla Griglia and the Pork Chop Milanese. The Scaloppine di Polo (Breaded chicken Cutlet) was the best. The Pork Chop was a little dry. The Branzino and the Risotto were good but had way too much butter for our taste. The star of the show was the Pistachio Tiramisu which was excellent. Overall a reasonable dining experience. Prices are on par with similar establishments. Drinks 5 stars: Creative specialty cocktails using unique Italian spirits, full bar, beer, wine, soft drinks and espresso drinks. Drinks are reasonably priced.

I recently visited The Dog Bakery to pick up a special birthday treat for my dog Joam, and the experience was fantastic! If you're looking for a bakery that truly knows how to pamper pets, this is the place. Selection and Quality: The bakery has a great variety of treats, cakes, and snacks for dogs. I ordered a heart-shaped cake for Joam's birthday, and it was adorable! The cake looked beautiful, with vibrant colors and cute decorations. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, as it smelled fresh (even to me!), and my dog loved it. Plus, it's comforting to know that everything is made with pet-safe ingredients, so I didn't have to worry about Joam's sensitive stomach. Service and Customization: The staff was super helpful and friendly. They took the time to discuss different flavors and options to ensure the cake would be just right. They even let me personalize the cake with Joam's name, which was a sweet touch that made his birthday extra special. You can tell they genuinely care about pets and making sure customers are happy with their purchase. Atmosphere and Ambiance: The bakery itself is clean, cute, and very welcoming. They have displays of various treats and goodies that make it hard to resist picking up extras! It's also a fun place to bring your pet along for the experience - Joam enjoyed browsing the treat selection almost as much as he enjoyed his cake! Overall: I highly recommend The Dog Bakery for any pet parent looking to celebrate their fur baby. Joam loved his heart-shaped birthday cake, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The service, quality, and attention to detail are all top-notch. We'll definitely be back for more treats! read more

I absolutely love this hidden gem! It is right in Old Town Pasadena down that little quaint alley way. The pastries look so delicious that I even wanted to try them. They actually told me I could if I wanted too! AWESOME! I had a chance to meet the store manager, Ruth. I came in looking to buy a couple cookies, and ended up trying out a raw dog food, a suggestion Ruth made. I am happy to say my dog absolutely loves his new Sojo's diet. You guys are doing such a great thing! You have gained a very happy new loyal customer! Boo-boo Head (aka Bentley) is forever grateful. See you soon! P.S. Make sure you grab a Dogsbar as well. When you buy one they donate one Pasadena Humane Society! That is just so wonderful! Boo-boo Head loves helping dogs in need! read more

The Dog Bakery is a MUST for dog owners and lovers (they even have a small cat section). its simple: do you know any other dog store that bakes their own natural treats? it's a small, local business- and I am a big fan of supporting local! The sweet and knowledgeable employees and high quality products are just bonuses. Petco may be coming out with their own "boutique" but it will never come close to The Dog Bakery read more
