I have ordered several cakes from here and I was never disappointed. I traveled across town just for these desserts

You know ,I'm also a business owner. We all know customer service will take you farther than quality at times. I have an engagement coming up,someone told me to go here and order for an event I'm hosting. Well,phone etiquette is very imperative when owning a business. I was coming to spend good money here,but when I was given a dull oh I don't really wanna be here type of answer/attitude.. I'll take my money elsewhere. As a colored individual,I've noticed a lot of business owners forget how they got where they are in life. A little advice "EVERYTIME THAT DOOR OPENS,EVERYTIME THAT PHONE RINGS ALSO EVEN WHEN OUT IN PASSING" THATS A COIN THAT CAN BR MADE! THOSE ARE THE WHY'S, CUSTOMER ARE THE REASON WE GET PAID AND OUR BUSINESSES FLOURISH!! Really hate that,I never been here I wanted to support,but hey. I go where I'm appreciated read more

I love this place. The cakes are baked to perfection and the tea cakes I go by to pick up a dozen every week. The ladies working the front area are pleasant and inviting. My only complaint is that if you're going to buy you some of those tea cakes you'd better get there early. At least 10% of the time when I go by the regular tea cakes are sold out. The best part of the tea cakes when you eat them is that they are the only ones that are good enough to remind me of my grandmother's tea cakes. They are fresh, tasty, delicious and soft. read more

Very special place .. always on time wit the moist cakes n pastries as tasty and delicious as every time I've purchased from them ..

Excellent, Brilliant Desert,organized wonderfully Great Job!!!!love that peach cobbler, and the peanut butter cookies taste like Reese-spieces read more

Great service and excellent quality of product. I don't eat cake but I get them for my people I care about.

The wide variety of cakes are unbelievable. The richness of the cakes give them an authentic made from scratch delicious flavor that makes you eat 2 and 3 slices before the day is over. One of my favorite is the 7up crunch cake with the lemon butter frosting also made from scratch. read more

Amazing cakes and teacakes. Also pies and special orders. The staff is great so stop by you can buy a slice of cake so you can try them all. German chocolates is my favorite read more

I have been trying to make it to this place for a while and I finally got over here. This black owned business is known for being one of a few places in Houston that sells Teacakes. They also sell cakes by the slice and you can place orders for whole cakes. And if you are last minute, you can always call and see what they have available. I came on a Thursday morning. (Yes random, but you have to do what you have to do because Saturday morning is chaotic). I ordered a box of tea cakes which is 12 for about $16 of the regular. And a package of the lemon tea cakes for about $4. And a slick of 7up cake which was an impulse buy, 7up cake! Oh my gosh! It was still warm from coming out the oven. Listen. I --- yes. That's the answer. just go get one. The tea cakes were consistent and if you need a foundation for tea cakes this is a good place to start. read more

Every time I have gone there, the service and food is exceptional. The ladies that take your orders are very personable.

Bought a German Chocolate Cake for Thanksgiving. It was dry and tasteless. Friends say their tea cakes are good, maybe I'll try those. So disappointed in the cake.​ read more

Great cakes. I have been purchasing desserts here for years and have never been disappointed. They usually have a variety of deserts available for purchase also in addition to desserts that are ordered in advance. read more

my last 3 others weren't the same taste as be four, maybe they changed cooks, pecan pie was too hard to cut, potato wasn't sweet as before, banana pudding had something missing, I won't give up with them because it maybe the egg thing. read more

A family member of mine got a birthday cake from this establishment and it was completely delicious. It was an 8 inch cake with pineapple filling and butter cream. The cake was very moist and delectable. It was only $15 at that. They were so nice when we picked up the cake and they wished her happy birthday. Come here if you want a GOOD CAKE for a REASONABLE PRICE. read more

The service was great. Everyone is so nice. My daughter's graduation cake was DELICIOUS and HUGE!! I hadn't ordered from here in a long time. I have definitely done myself a disservice lol read more

I have ordered cakes from this business for over a decade! Still enjoy ordering these tasty cakes!

Alright with much delay... First off you would have to be in this particular part of town to partake in the goodies. I stumbled across it in multiple passings to another destination. But of course it caught my eye bc who doesn't like a decent dessert, right??? Anyway-ladies n fellas if you want to make a statement with a dessert-this is the throw down for ya. Okay, okay customer service is not five star, but baby the dessert is, legit the price is too... okay O' they take custom orders too. For my big 49 I'm ordering me, myself, and I some bakery LV style you hear me... That'll be my test for A&K you feel me... Alright, thus far everything I have purchased as been legite on taste. Don't get me wrong-I am epic on customer service, and anytime you have teengagers employed rather familia or not I know it's a training process (You were warned by Tabatha L.) okay... read more

This use to be one of the best places for tea cakes, but the last couple of times, they had a different taste, not as tasteful. Now, last time, I also got the oatmeal raisin pecan cookies. Those were good. I've heard a few people state that the cakes are a bit dry. I've never had the cakes, so I can't give my review of it. read more

It's hard finding a place that sells Tea Cakes but this place makes them just like my grandmother. They are soft, and not too sweet. I can never stop at just one. Thankfully I live four hours or I would be tempted to get them on a weekly basis. The only thing I don't like is the price increase. I use to pay $9.00 a dozen but today when I picked up three dozen, the price came to $42.00. I haven't purchased them in over a year. It will probably be another year before I purchase them again. LOL I have tried a few of their cakes and I have never been disappointed. You can also purchase their mini pecan, sweet potato pies or their cake by the slice. FYI- They are closed on Sundays and Mondays. Saturdays are super busy so try to get their first thing in the morning. read more

Absolutely the best Teacakes ever...Delicious I will forever purchase from this business, The Best by far

A&K has the best cakes. Everything that I've tasted from A&K has tasted very delicious. The service is always impeccable. The staff is friendly and the cakes are always ready for pick up as promised. read more

I ordered my birthday cake from here last year and the employees are extremely rude when you call in to place your order. When I picked my cake up and git it home to taste it it did not taste home made at all. Tasted like it had been altered it was a box cake not from scratch. Never again read more

The cakes here are sooooo delicious. I always have a sweet tooth and this place has never let me down.

First time having teacakes and loved it! They gave them to us right out of the oven, and they were delicious! We also enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies, which had the perfect chewiness. Affordable and tasty desserts! read more

I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with the 2 cakes I purchased Saturday. I ordered 2 6' Butter with pineapple filling. Normally $10 but went up extra $5. I wasn't tripping cause the cakes are/were good. BOTH of my cakes tasted dry and old...it lacked pineapple filling. Both cakes had missing spaces where their was NO FILLING AT ALL. My last cake had semi chucks of pineapple, it was soft and melt in your mouth soft! One cake was for me and the other was for my Mom since she loved A&K..she was confused too on why the cakes weren't good like they use to...MIND YOU..WE BEEN CUSTOMERS SINCE 2016 so we know what A & K could do. Not this time. I won't be back. read more

Look if you have been searching for that cake or even the tea cakes your grandma made well this is the place to be. 7-up cake and the variety of tea cakes & cookies are amazing; you just got to go and taste for yourself read more

Great taste quick and happy service very clean have recommended to others will be reordering

Alright, my mom has gotten a few cakes from here (pound cake). Since it was mothers day, i decided to try something new from A&K. That was a mistake. I bought this cobbler frozen Saturday by recommendation from A&K. Here we are Sunday afternoon and it's cooked at 350 until bubbling and golden brown on top. Upon first inspection, I noticed how runny the juices were. Not thick at all smh. It wasn't very sweet and everyone agrees, it seemed to be missing a lot. Cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar. Waaaaay too many peaches. Almost like they just dumped canned peaches along with the juice into the cobbler. We were really looking forward to some fantastic peach cobbler and we were all disappointed. $50 peach cobbler is very overpriced. The 3 stars are for the Tea Cakes I had a few weeks ago. I won't buy a cake or pie from here again. read more

Horrible Experience. My wedding cake looked nothing like we agreed upon. Our grooms cake looked like it was decorated by a 10 year old. If you are unable to design a cake like a customer wants, then don't do it. To make matters worse, they dropped off the cake at our venue and just left. They didn't speak to anyone. I was so embarrassed by the cake that we didn't even allow the guests to see them and we didn't even do the cake cutting. The worst part of my day was the cake. So embarrassing. I'm sure they can make a decent cake for a small family gathering or your cousin's backyard barbecue, but I would not trust them to make a cake for an event as important as a wedding. Tip: hire a competent decorator & do what the customer asks, not your own version of it. If you can't do that then ask them to take their business elsewhere. read more

My mother has been ordering her cakes and pies from A&K bakery for over 20 or more years. This was because she couldn't make them as she was use to because of her health. Even after her passing, we continued to order and pickup our baked goods for every holiday event. Moist, delicious German Chocolate Cake and the various cakes we craved every year. I've driven from Louisiana to pickup for my family without a second thought as to what was in those boxes. Imagine our disappointment to purchase cakes that were dry and in no way comparable to what we were used to. It hurt my heart not to be able to enjoy desserts or share to others due to our bragging which we felt entitled to. The icing on the GC didn't look like what we were used. The red velvet? No Wow factor of any kind. I've never thrown or wasted GC cake...Ever! So, at this point I'm not sure what can be done if anything but, it would pain me to have to think twice about ordering with the upcoming events I our lives. Sincerely, The White Family read more

3/1/2017 This is truly a hidden gem. Homemade cakes, pies, cupcakes, teacakes and muffins. The prices are amazing as well. Today I picked up my cake order for my mom's birthday.The only negative is that I scheduled a time to pick up my cake and from past experiences they are NEVER on time having your order ready so I was late on purpose.Still had to wait about 15 minutes. As I was waiting another patron ordered a slice of German chocolate cake and pound cake muffin. It sounded so good I ordered the same. The pound cake muffin did not make it out the door and the German chocolate cake was very light and taste great as well. Now do not expect anything fancy because the space is very tight(I mean family reunion tight) so this is a pick up and go kind of place and I would suggest calling in your order. They have done many birthday, bridal showers and graduation cakes for our family. We drive 30+miles to get cakes from A & K...so worth the drive. read more

THE ABSOLUTE WORST IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. The best teacakes you'll ever eat. I placed an order 1 week in advance and called two days before picking up my order just to re-confirm that it'd be ready on the date/time that I needed. Well, when I go to pick up the order, it's not ready. Everyone who placed and order on that day was turned away because they were running behind. Then, I go back 3 hours later and they started selling some of my order to others!. These people lack professionalism, character, customer service and any qualities a respectable business would have. What a waste! read more

Best cake place I've had. The cakes are moist and super delicious. I love working with Mrs. Earnetta very sweet and provides great customer service. They will be making my wedding cake.
