    Lemon lavendar 6" Cake Preorder
    Elizabeth M.

    Sweets without the worry of artificial or harmful ingredients. Honestly, I feel so happy knowing I'm eating desert and also serving my family sweets that won't harm them. This is my cupcake go to spot and custom cake spot! I am so GLAD I found you Valentine! I also ordered my husband's birthday cake for this weekend and it was exactly what I wanted in design and flavor thank you for your service! My cake was lemon lavendar which is my absolute favorite!! Also Armenian owned so you know it's going to be made with love ! Yay!

    Tasty looking cupcakes.

    Valentine Sweets started as a home bakery during the COVID lockdowns. This all-organic bakery offers gluten free, keto, vegan, and regular cakes, cookies, & lattes. I was in the area and popped in to check it out. The pastry case is lined with an array of delicious goodies - all beckoning you to stay for a bite. The gal behind the counter was friendly and asked if she could be of assistance. Everything looked delicious. I was tempted to get a variety to go but was on my way to meet up with a friend, so I asked for the Organic Chocolate Chip Cookie, which was voted best Vegan & Gluten Free Cookie. The cookie was soft & chewy. It had a nice flavor but was different than the standard chocolate chip cookies that I am used to. I'd like to come back and try their cupcakes and one of their specialty lattes, which are flavored with Monin syrup.

    Note: this location hasn't closed (as of Feb 2026), just sharing space with Art Lunch. Ordered a cake for my wife's birthday here, with sugar-free monkfruit frosting. It was made exactly as ordered, and tasted great--the monkfruit sweetener in the frosting was smooth with no aftertaste. Would certainly order from them again.

    Quick update after trying more items on a Sunday at 12:30 pm. The cashier service was good and so was the atmosphere. A cupcake, savory pastry, and plain iced coffee was around $20 after tax and tip. While the items were on the pricy side, all three tasted great. I only had a sip of the coffee, but it was strong and good. The Blueberry Lemon Cupcake was served on a cloud plate that matched the frosting decoration. So cute! I can never wait long enough for it to come to room temp, but the cake was moist with a subtle lemon flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the liquid blueberry core. It could have had more blueberry flavor though. On the plus side, the frosting was creamy and not too sweet. Our Shepherd's Pie Pierogi was served warm. The bread was soft with a slightly crisp exterior. Inside, the umami mashed potato and peas jived with the spiced ground beef. The filling had enough moisture. The only things I didn't like were the samples we tried for the matcha and earl grey tea cakes. They were rather dry and doughy, and light in flavor.

    HOLY DESSERTS BATMAN!! This place is ADORABLE! Not a ton of room to hang out - its more of a pick up and go place - but its very sweet inside. All the desserts look fantastic and so pretty. They have teacakes i want to try and some gluten free options. I got the matcha rose cupcake, clearly homemade, and my husband got the gf cookies n cream. Both were the perfect balance of sweetness. There was a good amount of icing - a complement not overwhelming to the cake. I got matcha to drink which was a little watery but i cant wait to come back and get more cupcakes and other things!! The woman behind the counter was also very nice. A great local business to support!

    Didn't try any baked good so the reviews are just for the dirty matcha latte I ordered. Service was slow, there was only one person taking orders, ringing them up, and making the drinks. I did see a help wanted sign though, so hopefully they're hiring more help. The drink with tip and it milk substitute came out to a whOpppping $10! That's a little absurd price point wise for me. The matcha tasted of good quality. And the decor was cute with a few indoor seating. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be back, but perhaps their baked treats are worth trying

    Wow valentines sweets was a vibe. I haven't been in the downtown Pasadena area in a cool minute so I'm not sure if this place is new or not, but it def was new to me. Valentines sweets was warm and inviting but what really drew me in was the cute pastel colors and the tea cakes. It's not often that I see tea cakes so I was pretty excited to give them a try. I landed on the lemon poppy tea cake and we also grabbed the blueberry lemon cupcake and lavender honey cupcake. The choosing was actually pretty easy because of the staff, they were beyond helpful and friendly going over whats popular, what's a favorite and all the different varieties they offer like gluten free, vegan and etc. as we checked out I almost noticed the very impressive drink variety they offered from canned kombucha to gut friendly sodas to matcha lattes to created coffees, you had a bunch to choose from. I absolutely loved the cupcakes, they were super flavorful and unique. The lavender honey was light airy and fresh with the lavender. The blueberry lemon was tart and sweet and very flavorful. Sadly my tea cake was on the dry end and lack some flavor. But this wouldn't keep me away from Valentines sweets, I def look forward to trying some other sweets and drinks next time!

    Although this was the most beautiful cake decorating service, the cake was dry & even the filling was just not good. I ordered strawberry & cream there was just jam & no cream in sight, I expected a delicious cake for almost $250 I've had plenty of gluten free cake, this was 0/10 taste wise. Decoration was perfect though. Truly a BEAUTIFUL cake but dry & not sweet, when you cut it, it fell apart bc of the way it was made. Holes were poked through the cake layers side ways to fill jam in instead of a layer of cake, then jam etc. cake was dry and the jam wasn't good & there was no cream w/jam, I ordered strawb& cream which was extra$. I have a wheat allergy so I chose to give this place a try for a GF cake. Very beautiful cake but one of the most terrible tasting ones

    I'm so sad & disappointed with this place. I stopped by during the week because Dots had closed for the day. It was a little hard to find, but I made it! I walked in and loved their set up. I did notice it smelled a bit funky. I'm still not sure what it was or have a clue of what it could be. There were only 3 people sitting at tables. It's a small location, but it's cute. The guy who helped me was nice. I asked him to give me all the "vanilla" cupcakes that were left (5). They weren't vanilla, but he said it pretty much tasted like it. They were organic keto I want to say something champagne. My total was $35. I was a bit surprised, but at the same time I wasn't. Usually what it is at Dots and these were organic keto ones so it made sense they were $$. Fast forward to coming home....my fam ate 3 & said they were okay. I didn't eat mine so I decided to have it for breakfast with coffee the next day. As soon as I took my first bite I got sad. It was hard....like hard hard. Usually cupcakes I buy at other places still taste pretty good & don't get hard by the next morning. I had 2 left and had to throw them away. :( I don't think I'll be coming back for more. But if you do go....I recommend you eat them right away & maybe they'll be good.

    Text Chain with bakery Part 5

    So to start... I did not get the cake I ordered. It was difficult to get in touch with them, I got gaslit, and then got denied a refund! It was somehow a very stressful experience. I cannot and do not recommend. If you're too busy to fulfill an order, don't take it!! :( I texted their # to place a custom birthday cake order for my friend's party. They didn't respond so I had to call. I was told they could do a 3-4 inch heart shaped cake with Victorian decorations on the phone. I placed the online order and sent 2 photos from their IG page to reference, as requested. I wrote in the order verbatim: "I would like a Victorian Style decoration. I really like these 2, but you can be creative and come up with your own design. The colors, black, pink, red, and white are preferred, but you don't have to use all of them. Cherries are also fine." After more difficulty trying to get in touch with them, I spoke to the decorator. She told me she could do black, white, pink, or red. She said this size cake doesn't come in heart shape so we agreed on round. (One of the reference photos shows a heart cake in this size!) She said it was a small cake so she could not do as much detail as the reference photos. I said as long as it was still a Victorian design that is fine. As you can see, the cake is Dark Brown with basic Beige piping. I could have purchased a cake that looks exactly like this same-day at a grocery store. My friend said it looks like a $10 cake from Von's. I was so embarrassed. She refused to take any pictures with it and we didn't even want to look at it, so we left it in the box. I had to make it up to her by buying her another cake elsewhere, that turned out beautiful and was easy to order. When I sent the bakery a pic of the cake, noting how different it is from my order, and requesting a refund, they argued with me! They acted like I didn't know what I ordered, started dismissing me and said "if you wanted all pink you could ask for it." They refused to address that I did not order a Brown and Beige cake with basic piping and no Victorian design. Then they ghosted me! Save your $67 ($45 cake $22 delivery). Many of my friends are gluten and/or dairy free who were curious about this bakery will not consider spending their money here now that they know this. Same for my restriction-free friends. The experience was unprofessional, rude, and disorganized. I'm truly very sad I could not give my friend the cake I requested and promised her. It's very embarrassing. I should not have had to pay for a cake so drastically different from what I ordered. I deserve a refund. And if my desired colors and piping were more money, I should have been quoted for that.

    People working there are very friendly and will always welcome you with a smile. They answered all my questions. I appreciate so much that they use organic coffee, organic milk, organic flour, etc. Not many people are aware but conventional food is full of pesticides, heavy metals, artificial flavors, mold, etc. It's so hard to find the bakery who uses organic products and I'm so glad they do. Everything I tried was delicious and full of flavor and not at all dry like others said. I think for most people it's hard to make this transition but you have to pay more for high quality products; otherwise, you'd have to pay much more for your medical bills later! Highly recommend them :)

    Lemon poppy cupcake
    Shaji K.

    Tempting bakery in the heart of the city with an interesting selection of confectioneries. Friday late afternoon, still plenty left behind the counter. Hard to choose what to get with the significant options, eventually settling on the Lemon Poppy Cupcake ($6). Was able to take the cupcake outside in their lone table outdoors to enjoy. Cake itself is nice, even flavor and moist throughout. The icing was dense/hard, easily separating from the rest of the cake. Icing was also proportionally too sweet compared to the balanced cake. Not a bad spot at all but pricey for an okay cupcake. Cookies looked pretty good...

First, the good: the cinnamon roll was moist and fluffy all the way through. No dry cinnamon rolls here! The service was also very friendly. The not so good: my first bite, which somehow managed to not have much icing, gave me a clear taste of the dough. It reminded me a lot of canned biscuit dough. I prefer a thicker icing, this one was quite runny and very sweet without any nuance to the flavor. Also, I really wanted to try the peach cobbler cupcakes but they didn't have any cupcakes in stock at all, only a few cake slices. We went around noon, and I hoped they would have plenty of options around that time :/ Unfortunately I've had much better cinnamon rolls elsewhere in LA. It's still tasty because, well, it's a cinnamon roll... but not sure I'll be back unless it's to try the cake or cupcakes.

    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.

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.
