Gourmet gorging just got a new name. A delicious array of cupcakes and baked goods is complemented by a wide selection of coffees and teas. A relaxed atmosphere and full bar, not to mention actual meals, makes this a place to go.

First time visiting. Went on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. I was craving something velvety. I have a few bakery favorites but I am always looking forward to next velvety surprise so I decided to visit this bakery to try a new spin. As soon as I entered I was greeted and my order was taken. I ordered a total of 5 cupcakes: 3 velvet and 2 black bottoms. Both was really good. Their velvet I felt was on the heavy side; it didn’t immediately melt in my mouth like I was expecting but it always surprised my taste buds which I needed. I highly recommend and I will return.

Honestly - the cupcakes are dry and aren’t really that good. Like, I’ve tried this place like 3 times and I just can’t seem to like it. My cousin introduced me to Sprinkles cupcakes is La Jolla…. Now those are cupcakes. But I mean - that’s just me… but for those that do like their cupcakes… enjoy ????

We ordered a 3 tiered cake for our wedding 2 months ago. Based on all the reviews and recommendations we had high expectations. Unfortunately, the cake was the disappointment of our wedding. The cake was DRY and stale …tasted like it was made days prior to our wedding. We bought the sample cupcakes and ordered the pistachio for one tier, baby cake flavor for another tier… and just the white cake for the other tier. All were a disappointment, we didn’t even want the left over tier. Straight to the trash.

Sadly I have to agree with a lot of the people on here that are saying the cupcakes are very dry.
I absolutely love a good cupcake and have had these cupcakes several times. It’s really been hit and miss so we’ve decided not to return. When you’re paying $4 for a cupcake it Has to be fresh & moist every time!! See ya baby!!

This place is incredibly unapologetic with poor communication. I sent over inspiration photos for my birthday cake and agreed to an amethyst color cake with some simple decorations and got a green, unattractive cake. My friend is going to try to salvage the design but this place doesn’t deserve its current ratings. Poor communication and didn’t even try to make it right. Despite their response below, their email was NOT clear and they did not state “No Design”. An invoice is generally a basic description of something, no details, and isn’t a communication tool. Call your customers and make sure they understand. It’s sheer laziness and clearly they don’t care about their customer experience. Get your birthday cakes somewhere else or risk getting a totally random cake design.
Update: We added flowers to the cake to make it presentable and then cut it and it was like a hard butter cream that was a bit to sweet, the cake itself was just okay (could have bought at a store), and the raspberry “layer” I requested inside was barely there/a joke and you can see what I mean from the picture. The shop has never apologized/continues to blame the customer. ???? It’s laughable at this point because it was just such a bad experience.

Amazing cupcakes my favorite by far. The baby cake one is amazing as it has some cookie dough in the middle. Also big fan of the Boston cream cupcake and the tres leches.
Loved them so much I had to share and ordered a huge platter of them for a family party. Very accommodating

I am not from the area and was looking for some bolillos, walked into the "bakery" but the cupcakes looked pretty so I bought two. One was lemon, beautiful but- save your money, it tasted like any box cake from the grocery store. :/ The second was a Tres Leches -NO LECHEs, not evan One!!! Tasted like vanilla cake :/ Don't taste as good as they look.

I stumbled across this place when walking by! I walked in and saw a beautiful display of marvelous cupcakes and other baked treats! I orded the Blood Orange, Carrot cake, salted Carmel and Chocolate mousse I believe. All were delicious but I would like to say, not sure if maybe it was sitting on the display for a while but the salted caramel was not as fresh tasting as the others. Besides that everything was delicious!

Eclectic bakery and coffee shop. They offer a variety of Cupcakes and coffees. They did forget some of our order and we had to ask for it again. It wasn’t very busy so I’m not sure what happened here. They offer a free treat on your birthday. ID must be shown and this is only good for the day of your birthday is what we were told. Nice place for a sweet treat. Overall a little pricey for what it is.
