Personal hummingbird cake
Leilani B.

Picked up the cakes Monday it was hard to find and parking was not easy, emailed her and responded quick . The place is in apartments had to walk up to the door. Lemon pound cake was so yummy and a personal hummingbird cake was good. Birthday girl and family loved them both.

Banana Pudding
Nicole J.

Had a sweet tooth, so where else do you go... Been hearing about them, and they did not let down, and I ordered on doordash. I ordered their Banana Pudding and it was EVERYTHING and more. I have half left and I'm trying to save it for my sweet tooth later tonight. Man it's was so creamy the pudding and freshly made you can tell and it wasn't made weeks ago, lol like some desert is at some places. The cookies still were crunchy, omg the best. Make sure you check them out, definitely my go to now for Banana Pudding. * so glad I found my place

Red velvet pound cake
Janelle H.

Friendly and easy pickup.. This is a residential (apartments / condo / townhouse) pickup, just for a heads up if you're looking for a storefront. I didn't see any signs with the business name, just knew the address. Luckily the resident is located on the Main Street so it isn't hard to find; however parking may be an issue during general after work hours. I purchased via TGTG so I could try items at a discounted price before potentially making a large order. I received the sweet potato pound cake and red velvet pound cake. - sweet potato pound cake was not moist, had a dry crumble, overcooked outside and very sparse sweet potato swirl. - red velvet pound cake tasted like a box mix bundt cake made with oil opposed to a true chocolate pound cake made with butter.

Too Good to Go surpriase bag - 7 up pound cake and peach cobbler pound cake
Sydney J.

As someone who is not typically much of a fan of standard cakes that have that spongey bread sort of texture, that also made me a little hesitant and skeptical about getting pound cake, which is a specialty of Aunt Pooeys. However, after seeing them for quite a while on Too Good to Go, I decided to take a chance and order the surprise bag, knowing it was likely that pound cakes would likely be part of it. I walked up to the residential address that Aunt Pooeys is based out of and it was friendly and quick to pick up my surprise bag - it was likely Aunt Pooey herself that I got the food from. I got a 7 up pound cake and peach cobbler pound cake in the bag; they are shaped like small bundt cakes. I liked both but was a little more partial to the 7 up cake; the peach cobbler is sweet as one might expect with the flavor of preserved or canned peaches, whereas the 7 up cake had icing on it and was sweet with a slight sour hint from the lemon-lime soda. I was also happy that both were fresh (given it was a Too Good to Go bag, it is not unusual for some bakeries to be giving you leftovers that have often been out all day) and stayed relatively intact during my transit home from Berkeley. I thought it was a good deal for the amount of food on Too Good to Go. As the name of the business suggests, the cakes I tried were quite sweet, and I am sure the other goods they sell would also be good for a sweet tooth.

Banana pudding was amazing! Highly recommended. My order was right up she was fast and friendly.

Date: 6/15/2024 Time: 2:15 PM 70° Sunny Aunty Pooeys Sweet Tooth was one of the food vendors at the Juneteenth Celebration at Alameda Southshore Center. I was walking by when a young lady stopped me, recommended purchasing a sweet potato pound cake, which she claimed was bomb-diggity delicious. Cost was $10. It was a hard decision as there was an assortment of pound cakes - sweet potato, 7-up, peach cobbler, lemon. The drawback I have, and it is no fault of the vendor, is I am type 2 diabetic. I have to watch my sugar intake. I wish they had sugar free pound cakes. Being a nice lady, I went ahead and purchased the sweet potato pound cake to support a black owned bakery business. I know it will take me more than a week to eat that cake. Finally, I believe my three star rating is fair and reasonable.

Dark Chocolate Cake

I didn't customize a cake-I just dropped by and picked up a small serving of Aunty Pooey's daily-packed cakes: the dark chocolate cake and the lemon pound cake. Dark Chocolate Cake: Moist and dense-the kind of sponge that sticks to the roof of your mouth. The cake itself wasn't very sweet, which balanced well with the sweetness of the chocolate frosting. That said, I wish the sponge had a deeper chocolate flavor. On its own, it was a bit bland for my taste, so the richness and sweetness came mostly from the frosting-which I actually found a bit too sweet (on its own). Lemon Pound Cake: I love a strong lemon flavor in my pastries, so this one fell short for me. Both the breading and glaze lacked zest and brightness. I'd suggest adding more (preferably fresh) lemon juice to both the cake and glaze. For comparison, it wasn't as lemony or sweet as Starbucks' lemon loaf. The service was nice. I'm assuming the person I spoke to was Aunty Pooey herself. She was friendly and flexible. Her baked goods gave off a cozy, home-based bakery vibe nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Thank you~

Sweet potato crunch -- so buttery, delicious, soft, ugh to die for
Lucy P.

Do not miss out on Aunty Pooey's Sweet Tooth! If you're any kind of sugar/dessert fanatic, this is a must try. Aunty Pooey's is a home kitchen but the desserts are so delicious and full of flavor, I'm surprised they don't have their own storefront. It's amazing because you can tell the desserts are made with a lot of care and attention. I got to try their Lemon Loaf and Sweet Potato Crunch today, and it's probably the best dessert I've ever had in a looong time. Both were super moist, literally the perfect marriage of sugar, flour, and butter. It took so much self control to stop myself from eating the whole portion of the Sweet Potato Crunch. Each desert is around $9-10 but their portions are super generous as well -- would easily feed 2 people (or just one person, if you're like me). These desserts are rich and each box is heavy. Aunty Pooey does not skimp! Aunty Pooey offers traditional layer cakes, puddings, cobblers, pound cakes, and even vegan options! 15/10 would come again. Ordering is done by walk-in and online over DoorDash and other platforms.

Sweet potato Bundt cake
May Z.

I was craving banana cream pudding and I found Aunty Pooeys on doordash. I decided to google them and they have an option to order directly from them. They do walk up orders from a townhouse in Berkeley. It was a super quick and pleasant experience and they take card! All 3 items and to $30 which was super reasonable for the amount of food. I was super impressed overall. The banana cream pudding was rich, delicious, fresh bananas and the cookies maintained their texture which brought exciting layers to the treat. The sweet potato pie was beautifully crafted, the crust tasted so buttery and flakey and the sweet potato purée was fabulous and balanced. The true next level desert was the sweet potato pound cake. It literally was still warm when we got it. The cake was soooo soft and moist, the sweet potato was utter perfection and their some some sweet syrupy goodness on the bottom of the container. I love Aunty Pooeys and will be thinking about these treats for days and weeks to come!

Pineapple pound cake
Kitty S.

I got two pound cakes, a lemon pound cake and a pineapple pound cake - both were absolutely delicious! The pineapple one in particular had bits of crushed pineapple that added an extra element. Pickup was really quick and easy, it's a Black owned home business run out of a townhouse - I was greeted with a smile and a friendly, neighborly attitude. I will absolutely be back to pick up a yummy dessert again! I really love supporting local business and this one was worth every penny.

There was a…read moreline out the door which got me excited because it usually means the place is good, and the reviews say the same. The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.

The churro one was a standout, lightly dusted with sugar and cinnamon, just enough to give it flavor without being over-the-top sweet. The black sesame had a really nice nutty depth that came through well. The chocolate funnel cake flavor was okay, nothing particularly memorable, with the caramel one leaning a bit too sweet for my taste. Also tried the strawberry and mango matcha drinks. Both had a solid fruit purée presence, which balanced nicely with the matcha. Threw in a potato corn dog too, it was super crispy on the outside, with a fun textural contrast from the potato cubes.

That last one... let me tell you, it's incredible. It comes with vanilla ice cream and mango on top... just perfect. The service was excellent, super friendly, and it also arrived really fast (about 30-40 minutes). Everything was delicious. We loved it Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!

Over the intervening years, I've visited on an irregular basis branching out to other tempting flavors. I've never had a bad flavor among the dozens they offer at any one time. Honestly it's all great. I have to admit I had an unintentional moratorium since their original location on Harrison in the Mission sadly closed more than a year ago, so I was pleased to patronize their tiny Elmwood location. The $6.25 single cup of Pumpkin Galette was a nice, creamy treat on a brisk winter evening (Photo 6). On a subsequent visit, I went for one of my favorite guilty pleasures, Vietnamese Coffee (Photo 5). Seventeen years and still going strong.
