I need to come back to try their cakes but their pastries are good! The selection is limited…read morethough, as they focus on cakes. I stopped by Sunday around 1 to pick up some pastries on my way to a friend's house. It's located in a plaza with a small parking lot. First thing you notice when you step in is that they have a lot of cakes on display. There's no seating either, it's strictly a grab and go place. Both times I came, someone was picking up a cake ahead of me, so that's definitely what to get here. I asked the cashier, and she said that you can either call or came in person to place a cake order. You can also come by and pick up one of their ready made cakes. Will keep this place in mind for the future. I picked up a number of pastries and tried some of them at my friend's place. Here's what I tried: Slice of vanilla roll cake ($2) - very moist but not much cream Almond croissant ($3.50) - loved the almond filling Sponge cake ($2.75) - delicious! Almond cookie ($0.35 each) - tastes exactly like the almond cookies I ate growing up Cream puff ($2) - this was the only thing I didn't like. The puff layers on both the top and bottom were dry Next time I need a cake, I know where to get it!

Really the best bakery in town: they sell pastries and also really the best cake ever!…read moreI had my birthday cake there and you can see the pictures it was white with light, pink decorations, and Strawberry and banana inside. But last night I got the cake for my son's birthday, and I got him a 8" très Leche cake; it had slivered almonds on the side, all around and a layer of strawberries inside for $52 All the guests love that, including my son that enjoyed his birthday cake! Honestly, if I can give six stars to that Bakery I would! It is located in Van Nuys off Sherman Way, one block West of Sepulveda! A true treasure of Bakery

I stopped by Red Ribbon to buy a birthday cake. They had a huge selection of cakes which made it…read morehard to pick. Cakes looked fresh and after couple of minutes I decided to get the Ube Overload cake which was the perfect choice. It was so fresh and yummy. Glad I picked that one cause everyone loved it. Franz Adrian helped me with transaction and picking the cake. He was so nice and helpful. He provided an outstanding customer service. He even offered to write on the cake which was a very nice gesture. Most of the bakeries are not doing it anymore. He had a smile on his face when he was helping me which made the experience more pleasant. This bakery was very clean and shelves were full. They had a variety of bread, pastries. The only complaint I have is the parking. Sometimes it's hard to find a parking spot in this shopping center. Other than the parking everything was perfect and five stars.

I really wanted to love this visit to Red Ribbon! I picked up an Ube Overload Cake for a birthday,…read moreand as usual, the cake itself was fantastic--moist, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a classic Filipino bakery. However, the service at this location was a bit of a letdown. I called ahead to coordinate the order, and the person on the phone was incredibly sweet and helpful. Unfortunately, that energy didn't translate to the in-store experience. Even though the shop was completely empty when I arrived, the staff seemed very impatient and rushed me through the process. It felt a bit rude, especially considering I was there for a special occasion. I'd love to see the in-store team match the friendliness of their phone support. The Good: Ube Overload Cake is a 10/10. The Bad: Rushed service despite no crowd. Pro Tip: If you're ordering for a special event, calling ahead is great, but be prepared for a quick "in and out" vibe once you get to the counter.

For something sweet my go to is the karioka which is like a mochi ball which is chewy with a hard sugary coating. So delicious. Everyone is very friendly and helpful if you have questions on what to buy. The parking lot is always busy since it's shared with a Filipino grocery store but find a parking spot and get some treats.

They had beautiful cakes and cartoon looking cake slices. They also had empanadas de carne. Walking in, everything is right there, it's a cozy place and the plaza gives Mexico vibes since the area is hot, dry, colorful, and you can smell all the different foods. I love that the plaza has a place for children to play. Cost $9 each box of 10pc

The fruit tarts is probably my favorite of them all, the fruit is fresh and they're not stingy with it at all. The bread? So fluffy and great as well. They expanded from their old location to next door and it's really modern and beautiful on the inside. Very clean and they sell hot/cold coffee drinks as well! Just get there before 2pm as they barista is gone by that time. Highly recommend anyone looking for custom cakes, highly recommend anyone local, in reality , I highly recommend ANYONE to try them out. Huge shout out to the staff as well.

Called in order on Sunday and specifically requested Fondant cake with no milk (no tres leches)…read more Person that took order even repeated it back to us. We picked up cake yesterday and it was the incorrect cake. They made it Tres leches and no fondant. We went in and spoke with manager that stated that the employee that took order is not in today. And refused to refund because there wasn't a contract for Fondant. We made order over the phone so obviously there wasn't a contract and we were never told that that we needed a contract for fondant in order to refund. Manager was very unprofessional because we told him that we pretty much have to pay for his employees mistake and he responded: Yes

What a great experience!…read more Walked to this bakery and tried a few things and everything tasted fresh and delicious.

I highly recommend stopping by!

Easy peasy panaderia!…read more Martha's Bakery is a local spot many enjoy! I've been here when the line has been out the door many times. Come for the pan, jugo y postres! Stay for the warm service and friendliness. It's pretty classic goodies - I typically purchase things for others as I'm vegan and can't enjoy most of the rich creamy treats here though they do have some fresh bread that I've been suerte de comer. Definitely a gem of gems in the SFV beat as others have expressed. It's small inside but spacious - they do bake cakes. Located in a tiny shared lot that's rarely full near other local businesses off Victory Blvd & Hazeltine. Apoyar a las pequeñas empresas #SupportSmallBusinesses

Be very careful when purchasing here if you want fresh bread. The last two times my husband and I…read morehave bought here. We get so disappointed when we get home. Bc half of our bread is nice and soft fresh of the day. And half stiff possibly yesterday's bread. It's very frustrating to get home and want every single kid to have the same experience with what they're about to eat. Even myself. If you ask me. I'd go in and ask to give you (today's bread) to make sure it's fresh.
