The chocolate cake here is decadent! The lemon bar was delicious. The oatmeal cookie is probably the best oatmeal cookie I've ever had - flavor and texture were on point! My favorite item is probably the carrot cake though - super moist and flavorful. The store is located on a busy street, but you can find street parking. Jamaica is super nice and willing to answer any questions! read more

Top Tier Treats created the most stunning wedding cake for us and we could not have asked for a better experience! Not only was the cake absolutely beautiful but it also matched our vision exactly. Jamaica and her team truly exceeded our expectations and the cake was hands down a stand out piece during our wedding. Guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous it was but also how delicious, light, and balanced the cake tasted. I could go on and on with nothing but positive things to say. Plus, Top Tier Treats dropped the cake off in perfect condition and on time amidst a very stormy day. We highly recommend hiring Top Tier Treats for your event.

As you can see by my photos, I have been ordering my cakes here for years! Hands down, best bakery in LA. Jamaica and her team deliver fresh, delicious, moist cakes each time. Never overly sweet, you can taste the freshness in them and I honestly can say that the quality and consistency of their work has never altered. After each party, I secretly hope that I ordered more than I needed so I can have the extras to indulge in myself when guest are gone. Placing an order is super easy as well, email the team and they get back to you quickly with so many follow up questions to make sure you get what you are inquiring about.

I needed a birthday cake based off a picture I received. It was simple flavors and a simple design. But I wanted it to taste good too so I had to do some research and found this company. Ordering is simple, order via calling the store. They're very friendly, no matter which staff you speak with. Since it was my first time ordering from them, I called the day before to double check everything was still ok and on track for delivery to the bday girl, and it was. They arrived during the window they said they would and everything went smoothly. The birthday girl even said it's the best cake she's had :) read more

Jamaica is brilliant and wonderful, and so amazing to work with. I had been researching construction themed cakes for my son's birthday and came across Top Tier Treats. I reached out to Jamaica with all my ideas, and she was able to make sense of it all within the budget that I had. The process was so easy and she took away any stress I may have had about the cake. On the day of the party, I went to pick up the cake from her shop and it was beautiful! Everyone loved how the cake looked, but they were even more obsessed with how delicious it tasted! The cake was such a hit and fit perfectly with our construction theme. Thanks so much, Jamaica! We will be back :) read more

I didnt order a cake from here but I tried to and the person who answered the phone was so rude! I am looking for a wedding cake and I had shared that and the woman was rude that I need to do it online. I said that I had already done that and just wanted a range of prices for the cakes. She got short with me and said she didn't do that. Several hours later, I received a passive aggressive email response to my email. It took hours for them to respond and their online form doesnt even work. A company's poor procedures or technology should not impact my experience doing business with a company. Again, unprofessional and unpleasant experience! I ended up getting a quote and beautiful cake from another vendor. Buying a cake shouldnt be a head ache!! read more

This review is for the last time I went and picked up a cake for my friends birthday. It also includes the previous times I've been here and haven't given a rating. I went here and picked up a dulce de leche cake to surprise a friend I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Oh I didn't order in advance and just did a walk in. They always have a good variety of smaller and larger cakes. The folks in the shop are always very helpful and answer my question since I don't buy cakes very often. It's always an easy transaction. For this particular cake, I really appreciated that it had delicious flavor without being overly sweet. He taste of this sweet caramel but with butter cake frosting, which tends to be more rich than just sweet. A great combination. My friend loved the cake and so did our other friend that was with us. In general, I have never had a bad experience coming to the shop. The kids are always delicious and beautiful. They always impressed. I have bought cakes in the past for my girlfriend at the time and for my former boss and again, it was always positive. This place is pretty much my go to when I need a cake especially in a pinch. I should note that I've never special ordered anything, which they do. read more

We are sooo happy with how our wedding cake turned out!!! We were swayed by all the 5 star reviews on Yelp, so hopefully this 5 star review also sways other future customers. You can't go wrong with Top Tier Treats, trust us. Not only did our cake look stunning (exactly what we wanted) but it tasted amazing and got so many compliments (not always guaranteed with wedding cakes) We did one cake funfetti buttercream and one vegan vanilla buttercream. I'm vegan so I can attest to that one being de-lic-ious. My husband isn't vegan and he and everyone at our ceremony loved the funfetti one. Thank you so much, Top Tiger Treats for making our wedding so special with these beautiful... beautiful... beautiful wedding cakes! You made the whole process so seamless and we're so accommodating.

I came into Top Tier Treats about a week before my birthday and tried their cakes. I tried strawberry and chocolate. They were both delicious but I fell in LOVE with the chocolate. I showed them my vision and what I wanted for my birthday. They were attentive, sweet, affordable and I can't wait to order another cake from them! Everyone couldn't believe it was vegan! People even licked the frosting off their plates! The cake was SO moist. I haven't had better. I ordered a chocolate cake with mocha frosting. I highly recommend this place.

Thank you sooo much for my son's 8th birthday cupcakes! They matched the design I asked for. My kid loves rainbows - the sprinkles were a must! I ordered 1 dozen vanilla & 1 dozen chocolate cupcakes with a flat-top frosting. The cupcakes were delicious and packed up in a bag - easy to transport to the party and not sliding all around in my car. The supersized cupcake we ordered for the birthday kid was just perfect to blow out his candle! Ordering and pickup was a breeze. The birthday candles next to the check-out were very convenient.

Blueberry Roti ($4)-- Flaky crumble on top and blueberry jam?? YES YESSSS. I liked this so much I'd definitely go back for it. Blueberry jam is so underrated and it's rare to find it in a pastry! Makes for a good sweet lil treat. Hot latte ($5)-- Perfect!! No complaints. Not too milky, not too light. Good ratio. I was actually kind of worried ordering a latte because not every place does it right but it's good here! Iced blueberry matcha ($6?)-- I see lots of good things about this drink on here but ooooooof... it missed the mark and by a LOOOT too. It was green sweet cereal milk. Where's the matcha? Where's the blueberry? It was so confusing because I see the green and I know I ordered matcha... but it's just sweet milk! And it's not even blueberry flavored milk. Did they forget the blueberry jam? Syrup? Whatever they use? Because it just tastes like the milk after a bowl of Frosted Flakes or something like that. Very sad, very disappointing. Ended up tossing after a couple sips. ANDDD for those matcha purists this is NOOOT the place for you! They have it pre mixed in a milk gallon. So we just saw green milk coming out of a gallon into this cup like yeppppp ok expectations immediately lowered. Anyways, hot latte is good and the 2 pastries I got were good!

So I did. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: Didn't see a restroom. :) Wait Time: Can be long. Luckily, I didn't wait long when I patronized the shop. Location/Parking: Located in a plaza on the NW corner of Sawtelle Blvd. and W. Olympic. There's a couple of shared 15 minute parking spots in the parking lot, paid parking structure, or meter parking along Olympic, Sawtelle, or surrounding streets. I did find a secret place with free 2 hour parking on the NE corner of Purdue Ave. and Olympic Blvd.. :) Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with a few modern furnishings to sit, eat, and enjoy ones company. Service: Service was great! Tera (staffer) was very nice, attentive, offered great suggestions, and was quite informative about the shop. She also informed me that I was able to get two complimentary macarons. Patisserie Of Choice: 1) Blossom: Consisted of vanilla mousse, pistachio/red berries insert, pistachio crunch, and pistachio sponge. It was too pretty to eat, but I ate it anyways. So good and soo yum! 2) Roche: Consisted of hazelnut mousse, house made praline combined with soft caramel, hazelnut sponge. Taste like a Ferrer Rocher! It's very dense and sweet, but great to eat. Not something I'll have all the time. Macarons Of Choice : I got the Cookies and Cream and pistacio. They were both good. Artelice Patisserie For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back. I'm coming for you almond croissant.

They're also very on-trend, whenever a Korean dessert goes viral, they usually have it here. Recently, they even started selling butter tteok, and I heard it was one of the first places to have it in K-town. I highly recommend the salted bread. Honestly, I think it's even better than the famous spot everyone talks about. My favorite is the corn cheese, it's especially delicious when it's warm. I also tried the Korean chamoe (melon) smoothie, and it was very refreshing. It tasted like they used real melon, since there was a slight natural tanginess that made it even better. There is free parking, though the lot is a bit small. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the seating area is somewhat limited too

We walked into Coin De Rue and were amazed by the selection of pastries they had. They were…read morestarting to run out of some early afternoon but what they had there looked incredible. There were endless selection of salt bread and different flavoured buns which all looked delicious. As we were browsing and deciding, the lady at the counter was kind enough to offer us a sample of the butter rice cake. The butter tteok tasted pretty good on the spot so we bought a pack of 5 back home along with a hot and spicy salt bread and corn soboro. The butter rice cakes were already cold and hard when we got home, the inside was dense and chewy in a bad way. I didn't want them to go to waste so I tried reheating them in the over for a few minutes. It was warm but the texture never recovered, everything just got more dense and hard. The hot and spicy salt bread looked like a winner, but when we bit into it, the bread was just crunchy and overly buttery without a lot of flavour. The inside did not have the soft pillowy texture you'd expect from salt bread. The filling was a budget hot dog and some corn mixed with mayo. We cut the bread in half and my boyfriend said his piece had way too much mayo and mine barely had any. I grabbed the corn soboro thinking it would be delicious since it was corn season but was the most disappointed by it. I reheated the bread again to get the cookie top to crisp up. The soboro top didn't have a lot of crunch or flavour, it was just a layer of sweetness with no texture. The corn cream filling was not good, the corn was dehydrated and had no flavour at all. It honestly tasted a bit like canned corn that's over baked, I ended up scooping it out because the bread was better without it. Maybe it's better to go earlier when the baked goods are fresh and eat it there instead of taking it home.

The parking situation is the only thing that is difficult, because street parking is not always readily available. We waited about 20 minutes in total for everything.

No adjustments necessary, and they had the right amount of sweetness. The sliders were very tasty, and it came in four with two sauces on the side. There are plenty of seats available outdoors and a little space indoors. The person taking our order and the baristas were nice and made sure we had everything as well.

No bitterness, no chalky aftertaste that cheaper ceremonial-grade pretenders leave behind. Just clean, grassy depth with a texture that's silky rather than gritty. This is someone who actually sources well and knows how to whisk Didn't stop there. The seasonal peach jasmine tea was the surprise standout ..floral jasmine up front, real peach sweetness (not syrup-bomb fake fruit) on the back end. Balanced in a way that seasonal drinks rarely pull off; most places either overdo the fruit or underdo the tea. This one's dialed in. Iced Spanish latte rounded things out and didn't miss either; espresso with enough backbone to cut through the condensed milk instead of getting buried by it. A lot of places let the sweetness take over; ROK kept the coffee actually tasting like coffee. 4 drinks, zero misses. That's not luck; that's a program that's actually dialed in behind the counter. This isn't a place riding on aesthetics and a good logo the drinks back it up. The matcha is legit, good quality stuff Come open up in OC you batches

I ordered the matcha latte with kuromitsu syrup and kinako powder. This was aromatic without the bitterness. And through some form of wizardy, you don't get an ounce of matcha powder sinking to the bottom. In other matcha places (or when I make it at home), you always get a thick layer of matcha powder on the bottom of the glass. I also ordered the matcha pancakes, which are the signature Japanese souffle pancakes. This comes with a thick layer of matcha cream, which wasn't too sweet and something that was truly desirable, and this is coming from someone who finds more decadent heavy desserts repulsive. I also had the chicken katsu, which came with miso soup, rice, and salad. I think the chicken katsu here had the perfect crunch and the sauce / rice that came with it was delicious. The miso soup was also quite tasty. Word of advice from the server was to purchase the combination, which allowed me to get everything I wanted for steep discount in comparison to buying everything aforementioned individually. One downside was that only street parking is available.

We've tried the mango stinky rice sundae (must order), Thai tea lemonade- basically cha manaow (can skip), mango sticky rice drink (pretty good if you're looking for drink version of the sundae but can be off putting texture to some), Thai tea shaved ice (melted so fast so wasn't very enjoyable), pandan toast (a lil dry but good w gelato), & gelatos: mango (good staple), coconut milk butterfly pea (yummy/creamy perfect w mango sorbet), jasmine matcha (good choice), pandan milk (strong flavor creamy yummy), earl grey Thai tea (top 3), hojicha crunch (#1), & Thai tea coffee (eh ok just coffee). All the gelatos were shining stars it just depends on preference; very thick, flavorful, & creamy. I've tried 3x in the past 2 months but will be back for more~
