What a waste of $50. Ordered the vanilla lemon berry cake in the hopes that it could possibly be our choice for our wedding cake and it was terrible! Cake was super dense and dry and the frosting was just pure shortening. No flavor and super oily.

Honestly pretty disappointing. The cake is extremely dry, the frosting is just pure butter. Not worth the $5 a cupcake at all!

I have been buying baked goodies at this bakeshop ever since we moved in here in our new place because their goods are so affordable and it tastes super good! I will surely recommend this to everyone I know!

The donuts are too hard. You need to make the donuts fluffy.

The donuts are very good. The pastries are of top quality in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this small shop.

Nice place to enjoy a little sweet and coffee. Good selection of flavors for the petite cupcakes. Moist and just enough icing!

Nothing wrong with the place. Clean, nice atmosphere, decent music, coffee was decent, as was the cookie, but the service was hohum. Nothing wrong with the girl, just no personality, and in my book that goes a long way. Would def go back, to just get coffee, another cookie, and keep to myself. Need coffee and are close by, def check it out. Maybe its more your speed. 👍🏼

Great ambiance, friendly staff, nice décor. I just ordered a cinnamon tea, but the people ordering baked goods looked like they were really enjoying their purchases. I couldnt give a perfect review here today because my tea was served to me at slightly above lukewarm temperature.

Wow. Just wow. This place is the epitome of classy. And as close to perfection as sweet baked goods can get. Highly recommend the blackberry, but you cant go wrong with the whole menu. And they have gluten free options!

I cant say how the cupcakes are, since I wasnt even helped at the counter. I went in on Saturday (6/17/17) and went up to the counter to NOT be helped, at all, not even a hello, be right with you, a glance or a glare. So I walked over to the register where another staff member was, to only be treated the same way. 3 staff members, and not a one would help me. They looked at me, and literally walked away, this happened several times. Since I wasnt being helped, we decided to leave. As we were walking away and almost to the door, one of the girls that had been ignoring me finally said, as if surprised I was standing there; Oh! Did you need help?! I felt like saying: Nope, I just randomly stare at cupcakes as a hobby.There were 2 people that had already been helped, and 1 at the counter, so its not like they were busy. Place is a joke and would never step foot in again

Both doughnuts we got were bad. Salted maple was too salty. Unicorn one was sickly sweet. Both were stale. It was later in the evening that we bought them, but I think that if youre going to sell something it should be good (if not, throw it out or at least discount it).Maybe this place is ok in the morning, but I wouldnt recommend afternoon or later.

Chic bakery with fresh cookies, cakes, pastries and macaroons. The white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookie is particularly yummy!

Nice cupcakes, donuts, & coffee shop. The price is on the pricey side for the quantity & quality of their pastries. We would only go back if other cupcake shops in Pasadena closed down. Clean facility & bathroom.

Horrible service, and un-informed staff of beginners doing cakes. I tried to order a simple 9 inch round cake and specified nothing fancy, no fondant. It took them 4 hours to quote me for the order...$425!!!! No joke! With guess what, fondant and super fancy. I just wanted a round cake frosted with buttercream to look like a cheeseburger (piping only, nothing fancy). I worked as a cake decorator myself throughout school, and this is a very common birthday cake you can find in grocery stores. I wanted to try them because I was being lazy and didnt want to make home made buttercreamNever go there. Also theyre donuts are disgusting and they had no chocolate syrup for making mochas.$425. One 9 inch round cake....oi.
