    I stumbled into The Dog Bakery while walking around Old Town Pasadena and was surprised by how much they managed to fit into a relatively small shop. It's tucked away in Mills Alley just off Colorado Boulevard, so it feels a little hidden from the main stretch, but it's open pretty late for this kind of specialty store, from 10 AM to 8 PM every day. The bakery section was definitely the most interesting part. There were so many treats and flavors that I had never really seen at a normal pet store, and some of them genuinely looked like something you would find in a human bakery. They had decorated cookies, cupcakes/pawcakes, doughnuts, chews, and full birthday cakes, including cakes that can be customized for your dog. The cake options are surprisingly elaborate, with different shapes and toppings and flavors ranging from peanut and coconut to carob and even savory meat-based options. They also have grain-free and wheat-free recipes, which I thought was a nice touch. What I liked most was that it felt like an actual bakery for dogs rather than a pet store that happened to sell a few cute cookies. There was a proper display of fresh-baked treats alongside packaged treats and chews, and enough unusual varieties that it was genuinely fun to look through everything even though I wasn't shopping for a specific occasion. The rest of the store is packed with dog things too. There were lots of toys, birthday accessories, collars and leashes, packaged food and treats, and other little things you could pick up as a gift. It's basically a very complete little dog bakery and boutique despite not being a particularly large store. I can see why people come here specifically for dog birthdays. You could realistically walk in and leave with a cake, a few ridiculous little pastries, birthday accessories, and a new toy and have the entire celebration covered. Even without a birthday to shop for, it was one of those unexpectedly fun stores to wander into.

    Treats were from the bakery, she wanted all of them but just got one.

    Today was Callie's special day, first birthday. We wanted to make it special for her so we came here for some treats. They have a good selection of baked treats and many other treats. We got her these and some dried cod skin. She loved all of it! The service was very good, little Callie even got a little treat when we walked in. Parking was free using the lot on just a block away (we were in and out pretty quick). There are nice places around if you want to get yourself a little treat as well.

    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!

    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!

    Beautiful cake

    Very friendly and helpful staff. The store has lots of toys and a great selection of pet foods and snacks. It is like a little doggie paradise store. My babies love coming here. Their cakes are so yummy when you get one and let your doggie try, you will know how good they are. The store is nice and clean and always provides fresh water for the doggies. Wish that I can come here more often with them.

    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.

    The cutest cake and pup cakes for my fur babies birthday! The order shipped and arrived on time. My dog and her guests loved the treats! Will order again!

    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.

    Tofu loved her cake!
    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!

    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

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

    Are there any for cats? If so, what are my options?

    I honestly didn't see any food or treats for cats - there are birthday hats for pets that I saw for a cat, but in regards to treats, food, or baked goodies -- they were for dogs

    Do you make birthday cakes for cats?

    Do I have to call ahead to get a birthday cake?

    If u need make ur own cake,then yes.

The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail are apparent in every bite and every sip. It is well worth the wait you'll most likely encounter.

That being said, I do believe the quality is one of the best, so worth it if you happen to be in the area and don't mind a bit of a wait. You can see them making the baked goods in the store and the dough is a work of art. There seems to always be some kind of wait and the outside wait is a tad brutal, but there are a bunch of umbrellas you can borrow from the inside, which is a nice gesture from this place. Onto the goods - the chocolate bars are quite steep. Two of these plus a matcha latte and a single chocolate croissant was around $47, so keep that in mind before you stack too much in your cart. The matcha latte was passable in my opinion as well, since the matcha doesn't stand out. A lot of oat milk was used in mine, which diluted most of the matcha. I guess stick to what they are good at. The standout of course is the chocolate croissant. It's quite flaky. Where the surprise comes in is that there seems to be a custard layer inside, along with melted chocolate around the outer parts of the croissant. It's a unique experience and recommend trying while it's hot.

We were done about an hour before our reservation time. We hoped to be accommodated earlier but saw the long line and crowd waiting as we drove by. We decided to run a couple small errands instead. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation. It was still busy, but there were not as many people waiting. The hostess was so warm and welcoming. She let us know that the customers at our designated table were almost done and that they will have it ready in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, those customers decided to linger much longer. Thirty minutes later, they were still hanging around. We fully understood that this was not by any fault of the restaurant. We continued to wait patiently. The hostess was very apologetic and was trying to work out a solution which led to the Floor Manager (Karla) getting involved. We were eventually seated at another table, with the option to move should the other table become available. Karla then took the time to apologize for the wait and unfortunate first impression. As we got started with drinks and a pastry for the daughter, the other table opened. The hostess immediately came to move us. It all went smoothly from there. Table service was casual and attentive. We started with the Chocolate Almond Croissant and the Baguette & Bordier Butter. The daughter tried the Iced Matcha Latte. For our entrées -- Shakshuka, Patty Melt and Brioche Eggs Benedict (with salmon). I was eager to try the Potato Gravlax, but it was sold out. :( Everything was so, so delicious! Fresh and flavorful. Lovely presentations. Very good portions. As we were finishing, Karla came to our table again to express her gratitude for our patience and understanding. She gave me her business card with an offer to contact her directly should we need another reservation. On our way out, I stopped to compliment the sweet young hostess for a job well done. Wonderful experience. Beautiful decor. I would give Oh La La 10 stars if I could! We will most certainly be back!

I originally stopped by to pick up their famous cinnamon roll, which made the lists for top 10 cinnamon rolls in LA County. Unfortunately, they didn't have any cinnamon rolls the two times I stopped by. (I think it had something to do with how their AC is currently out and awaiting repairs). Not wanting to leave empty handed, I decided to get a few slices of cake instead. And boy am I glad I did! So far I've tried their red velvet cake, vanilla cake with strawberry frosting, and a seasonal strawberry cake. The cakes were all rich and on the denser side, and were a cross between moist and crumbly. Each cake also paired exceptionally well with the velvety thick frosting. So the backup plan was a rousing success, as all three cake slices were fabulously indulgent and the perfect treat. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

We chose outdoor since it was such a nice day out. They have all of their desserts on display in the case, so you can peruse the options and see what looks good. So many of the desserts looked good, like the matcha yuzu chiffon crepe cake or the rose and lychee crepe cake. We ordered via the kiosk and got the mango sunshine souffle pancake ($16.50) and well as a couple drinks. My drink was the white peach lemon jasmine bliss ($6.25), with 50% sweetness and less ice. Even though there are signs everywhere saying that it takes 15-20 minutes for the souffle pancakes to be cooked, ours came out super quickly, in 5 minutes or so. We got it with the sauce on the side, but I regret doing that as I saw others getting it with the sauce on top and it was beautiful. The pancake was super fluffy and a bit eggy as well. We all really enjoyed it with the mango sauce. I made the mistake of eating the pancake first before trying a sip of my tea. The pancake was pretty sweet, so I could barely taste my drink, but I think it was good? I could taste a bit of the lemon but definitely not the white peach, which is a lighter flavor. I got a slice of their Hokkaido cheese cake roll for $7 to go and had it the next day. It was okay but definitely a bit pricy for what you get. I'd love to come back to try their other desserts and pancakes!

I couldn't see myself studying or staying too long, which may be for the best since parking is tricky and street parking has a 2 hour limit. An okay experience, but I don't see myself coming back.

I kind of like that no one is allowed inside except the workers. It makes me feel like the food is less likely to be contaminated by people getting close to it or breathing/talking over it like at other coffee shops or bakeries.
