Every time I come to Los Angeles I get a piece of yellow cake with chocolate frosting from this place. Every. Single. Time!Cake slice is big enough to be two separate servings with vanilla ice cream, perfect!Red velvet cupcake and pound cake on Deck to broaden my horizons.Its nostalgia on a fork. It reminds me of Duncan Hines commercials from the 70s

Got sweet tooth? Prayers answered. Be ready. I never quite had a red velvet cupcake that tasted like this one. You will see that its missing from the pictures because I just gulped it down. The glaze is on top and the velvet cake is better than any other cupcake ever tasted!!! There!! I said it!! Best red velvet cupcake!!! Ever!!! Period.

Let me tell you one thing…The way this bakery changed my whole life last week. I’m a NY’er with no knowledge or expertise around LA bakeries and I needed a birthday cake for a party in LA last week. I’ve heard many great things about this bakery so I took a chance and ordered a Lemon Birthday Cake. The cake was seriously out of this world! The texture, the crumb, the icing, the butter, everything! I could have slapped somebody it was so darn good. I knew I was in love when I ate 3 slices of cake in one sitting. Thank you Southern Girl Desserts, my friend absolutely loved her birthday cake. I appreciate the great customer service and the team for taking time to answer all of my questions. I’ll be back! You have a new fan here!

This was my second time coming to this establishment as I live in Sacramento. The cupcakes are too die for. I had a Carmel Chocolate, Red Velvet, Lemon, and Sweet Potato. My first customer service experience was excellent, BUT today...was not so good. There were two young ladies working and was not very attentive. I had to ask questions twice do to them talking to each other about something not bakery related. I would have gave 5 stars because the cupcakes are that good, but customer service was very off today ☹

The best everything!the employees are ALL kind and PRETTY! Please dont buy up everything of one item just cause u heard someone else say its good. This is going to disrupt there business and thats selfish. They make way more than enough for almost anyone buying. Over all I say u have try everything and take a menu with you. Also tell someone else how great this bakery is.

It was delicious & the staff here was so very friendly & personable....I felt at home in here. Due to construction at the mall it wasnt easy to find the entrance & we called them. They had our order ready & waiting for us even though it was literally FIVE minutes before closing. They didnt rush us out the door & answered all of our questions. The next time that Im in the area I will make it my business to support them.

The cookies are amazing. You have to call and order 30 minutes in advance, but the cookies are made fresh. I cant wait to go back. The banana pudding is also one of my favorites.

Yellow Cake with Chocolate frosting. Oatmeal Raisin and Pecan Chocolate Chip cookies. The cake was moist, but the chocolate frosting was too sweet for me. Oatmeal Raisin and Pecan Chocolate Chip cookies were tasty.

Had a birthday party May 1, 2021. Decided to have a dessert bar. Have always been happy with Southern Girl in the past. My friend order 2 sweet potato pies, that were undercooked. 1 lemon cake that was undercooked. 2 peach cobblers, while they weren’t the best looking cobblers, one was very good, while the other one was undercooked. The oatmeal cookies and chocolate chip cookies were the star of the show. They were very good. The sweet potato cake was also very good and very pretty. The total was $323.41 which included a $30 delivery.

Ordered my cupcakes online. They arrived not looking the best however I pride myself on being a CAKE CONNOISSEUR so I assumed these cupcakes would be magnificent….CHILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE only thing that has flavor was the damn icing! These cupcakes tasted extremely GMO’ish meaning BOXED cake mix. The flavor evaporated as quick as I tasted it! Very dissatisfied. Expected to taste real ingredients

I dont know who owns this place but they really need to invest in some customer service training for their employees. I checked the hours to see if this place was open. Google showed them as open so I called. The first two times I called, the phone rang and rang then went to voicemail. Then I called a third time, a woman answered, told me to hold on. I was on hold for five minutes. While on hold I could clearly hear two female employees having a conversation. Mind you, I was still just sitting on the phone waiting for her to come back just so that I could ask a question about pricing for a catered event that I was having. I guess business and making money is not a priority smh. Your employees can make or break your business and that should be a concern for a business owner. Do better folks. I will never patronize this place.

Two months ago, I would have been glad to recommend this bakery to family and friends. However, the quality of their cookies have been disappointing the last few times I have ordered. At one point, the chocolate chip cookies had too much flour and tasted stale. Tonight, the cookies had way too much chocolate and was overly sweet. I could not finish the cookies and my teeth hurt. I dont know whats been going on in the kitchen, but this bakery has been an extreme let down. Im never ordering again.

I’m changing my 1 ⭐️ to 5 even though the pie hasn’t arrived yet I’m so impressed and happy they tried . I was told the bakery made a pie and it’s on its way to PA. I never received a call but from the owners remarks he tried and that’s all that matters to me . I can’t thank You all enough for fixing the problem. Only suggestion let one leave a voice Message on the phone 🥰

Review №45

Worth the wait! I have wanted to try Southern Girl cupcakes for months now, and finally made a special trip across town. Location was surprisingly easy to find. It’s in the mall, but with an entrance facing the parking garage so there’s no need to enter the mall itself.Due to Covid, there isn’t much of a counter display, but I asked an employee for recommendations and she was enthusiastic about the lemon poundcake. So I left with 8 cupcakes (tried every flavor) and a slice of poundcake for under $30!Highly recommend the Red Velvet and Double Chocolate cupcakes. Everything I got was moist, buttery, and pure heaven. I especially like that the cupcakes aren’t too sweet, so the frosting is well balanced. Can’t wait to come back here again next time my sweet tooth wants to party :-)

Review №47

Stars are for cheery service and freshly prepared food. I read that they had good vegan cobbler so I ordered a whole one for my B-day. Bad choice. What I got couldn’t pass for cobbler at all. A gooey, flavorless biscuit-like topping was substituted for crust and when I asked why, they said “Cuz it’s vegan”??? Like quality and flavor can’t be vegan.Don’t buy vegan from this place. Their hearts ain’t in it.

Ive been looking forward to coming here. Bought 2 red velvet cupcakes, they were not the best as I thought it would of been tasted artificial. Maybe it was a bad day? The lady at the register her pants were falling, she was glued to her phone the whole time, didnt even bother to wash her hands. Customers notice everything! Even if the employee is inexperienced, still theres no excuse.

BIRTHDAY RUINED!!! My sweet sweet boyfriend took me here for my birthday to get some cupcakes. Because Im a Southern girl I so was looking forward to tasting them and they had interesting flavors like sweet potato with cream cheese frosting. We bought a few and took them home to celebrate later. Unfortunately, the smell and look of these cupcakes did not foretell the awful awful awful taste of the cake which was severely dry and hard (ie stale) and the frosting which was too loose and not very sweet. We were told these were cream cheese frosting and I dont know where they get their cream cheese but it was more of a whipped cream which I do not like. Did their sign say they won a cupcake competition on television? Overall a very disappointing experience given that it was my birthday and I felt really terrible because my boyfriend could tell I didnt like them and I wanted to so bad because of all of the effort. How annoying. Im wondering are these really from the south and how do they stay in business? Um, not the southern US and thats for sure ... unfortunately I was so angry I neglected to even take any pictures (the decorations were actually pretty) I will definitely NOT be going back to capture photos. The shop actually smells really good and the prices are a bit steep but would be worth it if the cake were good. In the future I will just stick to my known cake shops where the cake is actually tasty and worth the money and drive.

This place is located on the third floor of the Korean shopping market. It has a cute and clean ambiance. Staff is friendly and helpful when I asked her what they are known for. She said everything purple. I ordered the sweet potato tiramisu and sweet potato soft serve. They both were yummy and we enjoyed it. Not a sweet flavor but perfect for a dessert craving.

Had to update my review for this bakery. The food is always great! But today I placed my usual order through postmates and I recieved 2 wrong items. I contacted the bakery to tell them what happened and they admitted to putting the wrong items in. They offered to deliver the correct items later in the evening. I agreed to wait until they did since I was already home. 2 hours later I recieved a call that the items they were supposed to be delivering to me were not available anymore and they couldnt do anything for me so they hung up. They arent open tomorrow and I usually order so I can keep something in my house for their off day. So instead Im attempting to get a credit from postmates since they dont just refund the card and the discount I used to get free delivery is not going to be valid anymore. Hoping this doesnt happen again and my experience gets better from here on.Another update : I have stopped coming to Southern girl. I have continuously gotten the wrong order or my bakery items are stale. Not sure whats been going on recently but Im sad to see their bakery items get worse with every visit. The staff are nice but seem to lack any type of professionalism. I would have put up with all of this if the food was still up to par

I come from a family of some country, thick neck, thick waste, thick armed ole southern women that were bakers. I must say this made my Cali trip. That sweet potato cupcake was everything. It was so good that I ate the wrapper. (Ask my wife) I am a very judgmental person when it comes to food and my judgements is for sure own point. Must have don’t take my word for it.

I came here to buy Cupcakes with my little sister. But they took forever. We waited 15 minutes for 2 cupcakes, because the cashier couldnt get a simple cookie order right. We got a red velvet and Chocolate one. The red velvet one frosting was terrible. And the chocolate one made me sick the dough was still raw. We will most likely not be coming back here. The cupcakes tasted terrible and overpriced.

Finally got to try the purple dessert place! It was okay. Not too sweet which was pleasant. I can see why Koreans like it. I tried the purple sweet potato tiramisu and the sweet potato soft serve. The tiramisu was good. Moist and had a pretty good sweet potato flavor. The soft serve was tasty too. Its too expensive, in my opinion. Theres so many unique cute dessert places in CA. It can be hard to keep up. This place is definitely cute and unique (their desserts are purple, for Petes sake!) Taste-wise, its not bad either. Worth trying at least once.

I cant say enough about this place, Ive been going to Southern Girl for years. All the cupcakes are great, and the cake slices are insanely good. The frosting is a bit heavy with the cake slices, but easy enough to scope off.

I love the caramel cake, its the only thing I like here.On this one particular day the caramel cake was covered with icing. I didnt recognize it. I brought it anyway because its my favorite cake. The caramel was runny and not like usually. The cashier assured me that it tasted the same. I purchased it and got home and it didnt taste the same.I called and let them know that I wasnt pleased with the cake. The person told me to bring back and they would exchange it for another item. I only like the caramel cake and they only make it on Tuesdays.I returned the uneaten portion. The cashier who sold it to me told me no refund, just exchange. I told her I only like the caramel cake and its only made on Tuesday. Im not waiting a week to get my cake or my refund. After going back in forth with her, she finally returned my money.I WONT BE RETURNING HERE ANYMORE. I THOUGHT SHE WAS VERY RUDE TO ME. I BUY THE CAKE ALMOST EVERY TUESDAY SO I KNOW THE TASTE. SHE KNEW THAT THE CAKE WAS NOT THE USUAL CAKE, SHE COULDVE TOLD ME AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BROUGHT IT. I Feel if I return something with one bite missing, it wasnt to me liking. She felt that if you dont like it, thats no a reason for a refund.
