    The cake, view 1

    The Village Bakery was the answer to my every need this weekend! In creating a cake for my dad's 90th birthday, I needed it to be soy free, which no other baker would accommodate, even with weeks' notice. Richard, TVB owner, makes everything from scratch and has no soy in his products. He was able to leave out nuts from a carrot cake, the carrots were clearly fresh vegetables and in full evidence in each bite. The cake was unbelievably moist and perfectly spiced, with robust notes of cinnamon and a little clove. But beyond all these most important issues, Richard was able to pull off an all-edible design using a 3D printer, ganache and his own ingenuity and creativity. I asked him to create a law dictionary and add a school logo, as well a birthday greetings, all with 3 days' notice (I had given up for a while and found him with little time remaining). Everyone, especially my dad, was enchanted by his work! I cannot recommend The Village Bakery and its owner Richard highly enough. If you have a special occasion (or even an everyday baked good need), call on him. His prices are very reasonable and his products are best in class.

    Smash cake and cake for the grownups!

    Let's be honest, they are known for their ridiculously amazing and life-like cakes. Seriously! Have you browsed their photos. They are INSANE! Probably why I had Richard make my little one's one year old birthday cake and smash cake. He is a genius and he has been at it for decades. He also makes personalized cookies, cupcakes and more. Just email Richard a photo of what you are looking to have done and he can create it. Seriously! And not only does his items look amazing, they taste fantastic too, Check out some of his creations: https://www.thevillagebakeryhouston.com/our-products/custom-cakes/

    I have used this bakery many times, and they have always done a fabulous job. I am a consistent repeat customer. However, this last experience was horrible. I ordered a strawberry cake with chocolate icing for a birthday. What I received was not up to their normal standards. While it does not look like a strawberry cake....it didn't taste like one either. And I am not sure what that clump of white icing is. I'm not showing the top of the cake because of the name on it....but it was a sloppy job as well. When I called about the cake I received, I was told that there are freeze dried strawberries in the cake....which you cannot taste strawberry. As for the white glop of icing, I was told that they originally iced it white, then scraped it off and re-iced it. From the looks of it....they did a poor job at that as well. I was told that there was nothing that they could do for me. As a (previously) loyal customer, I guess I expected an apology, but was told 'it is what it is'. Price tag on this POS....$105. That is not $105 cake.

    Fleur de lis cookies for the Louisiana crowd.

    I can only comment on walk up holiday-related service at The Village Bakery, but my experience there was great. Having called ahead regarding Hamantaschen for a Purim celebration, I was delighted to find out the bakery had several flavors. I picked apricot and raspberry flavored Hamantaschen (not pictured). Both were delicious! Other cookies featured in the display case included St. Patrick's Day four-leaf clover cookies and post-Mardi Gras purple, green and yellow fleur de lis cookies. I enjoyed looking at the various baked goods, and the person who answered the phone was very professional, helpful and friendly.

    Carrot cake but with a fun bday spin

    I LOVE this place for ordering custom bday cakes!! So good and they nail it every time.

    We were so happy to discover this app, Too Good To Go, a few days ago and to know it can help save food than let it go to waste. Today was our second experience with this app and The Village Bakery was beyond disappointing. We were shocked to received a two days old bread (the young cashier boy accidentally told me). This loaf of bread was tossed to a side table by the trash can area . "Is this it?" I asked to confirm and he said yes all I will received is two days old bread. The app shows it should be $12 worth of food but I only received a loaf of two day old stale bread? This is a dishonest business that use this app to sell their trash. I am asking for refund. This business should not be in this app if they can not honor their words to not truly waste food at the end of the day but gave away days old inedible trash. This is not right. ​

    Red velvet retirement cake celebration
    Lotus H.

    My red velvet cake had sooo many good cheerful comments! Delicious cake, it was enormous! I wish the icing was cream cheese icing but oh well! Decors was very nice educational theme. Thank you village bakery for making my retirement event so successful.

    So cute!!
    Ashlen R.

    Ordering from this bakery was so easy and great. They made exactly what I wanted. The cake was so moist and delicious. I'm so happy with the result and final product. I highly recommend this place!

    Checkerboard cake with raspberry filling and chocolate buttercream
    Michelle B.

    We are new to Houston and were looking for a new go to bakery for family birthdays. Someone recommended Village Bakery and we gave it a shot. This was probably the best birthday cake I've had ever. The inside was so soft, the checkerboard was a lovely touch, and the raspberry filling and chocolate buttercream were a great combo. We know where we'll be going from now on!

    engagement cake with edible magnolia flower
    Veronique H.

    5 stars for their always impressive talent and skill! They are able to take a picture and duplicate it impeccably!! 5 stars for the texture and flavor too! My very first cake from them was a 30th bday cake for my fiancé's surprise party. The cake was beautifully made, but their were some issues in the transit that it got smudged and the delivery time. The owner was very kind and professional about remediating it for me right away, which I really appreciated, so I decided to let them do my engagement party cake as well. They delivered it promptly and in perfect condition, and it was as delicious as it was fabulous! So 5 stars also for their professionalism and eagerness to make it right! I 100% recommend to all family and friends

    What I got. It was even more orange originally. The top is their version of ombré
    Tina K.

    Ok. Sent a pic and placed an order a few weeks before an event via telephone. Paid half. Went to pickup and the order looked nothing like the pictures I sent. This would have been ok had they at least listened to my request not to create a loud cake. Wanted subtle and softer colors. Specified NOT ORANGE given that I knew this would be the urge for a fall cake. Got an orange cake. A very large orange cake. They were supposed to make it ombré but softer than the pic sent. There was no gradient. Just orange. Deep deep orange lol. They tried to fix it, but it was obviously rushed. There were holes in the frosting. The edges were frayed. It was still orange. Proportions off. I was reasonable. I waited for thirty minutes hoping they'd fix it. They did their best I guess. I asked for a nominal discount given that I was paying a good amount (~$250) for a cake and cupcakes that completely didn't match anything I requested. The event was the same day. The owner was initially rude and told me it was a "perfectly good cake" and I could "just leave it and go elsewhere." I quickly corrected this ridiculousness. Asked him to pull up the pictures I emailed (a normal part of their process). Once he realized the mistake he softened which I appreciated but wish had come much sooner in the process. Of note , whenI entered and said good morning, no one responded. It took a few minutes to be greeted. They originally told me my cake wasn't ready. They didn't really pay attention to my name. I had to ask again a few minutes later for them to confirm. It was ready, just looked a mess. Not sure why they didn't look at the pics before? And very evident that they never even attempted to look at them when creating the cake. Why request that customers send pics. In the end he offered me a credit for a few dollars and took the 10% off that I asked for (which he initially refused), but I won't be back. Too much work for what should have been simple. Pics attached of the cake vs what I requested.

    This place is worth a visit. The Village Bakery specializes in custom cakes and a wide range of baked goods. I recently dropped in for their (apricot, pineapple and raspberry) hamantaschen and would certainly return for more. Five stars.

    Kind service and delicious cake I'm already ordering from here again. Definitely worth the money.

I was a little nervous it would taste obviously dairy/gluten free but everyone (including myself and my toddler) loved it! As a cake enthusiast (cannot get enough of Dessert Gallery) I was absolutely impressed. It was delicious, moist, the right amount of dense, and had chocolatey frosting that tasted pretty similar to buttercream. It was also so cool to know that the entire thing was sweetened with maple syrup. Almost healthy, haha! The process of ordering was easy enough. I placed the order online, set a time, and we picked it up in less than 5 minutes. I was even able to reschedule my pickup time at Snap Kitchen via email with the staff. Very helpful and responsive.

I asked the cashier if I could order the cookies for pickup at a later date and he thought for a few seconds and said no.

Clearly the guy was just guessing instead of taking the time to ask but instead of arguing I just left. Of course I get home and the cookies CAN in fact be ordered from the website. I needed 20 of them which would have been well over $100 but just because the cashier was cavalier and wanted to guess instead of actually make the business money I ordered Tiff Treats Prada cookie instead. Their employees are not knowlegable and surely dont care about your time or money.

So, for me the taste / size / value ratio was not aligned. The place was decorated nicely and the staff were friendly; however the order took a bit of time to come out. Because of the time, I figured the desserts would have been heated. They were not. They were cut and packaged "as is" which meant the cinnamon rolls were room temp and the cake was refrigerator cold. Overall, cute place -- good desserts.
