    My aunt purchased my wedding cake from the 26th street location. It was delivered to my wedding venue on April 13, 2024. They failed to inform my aunt, the staff at the venue or myself that the cake contained real flowers and that they wrapped the stems of the real flowers with aluminum foil. When the cake was cut and served to guests, you could imagine how we all freaked out when the staff realized that the cake had some bits of foil. They quickly took action and removed the served cake from the guests. My aunt called the owner and the person was unapologetic, said that the only thing that could be offered was the replacement of another cake. The box the cake came in nor the receipt provided had no indication that the flowers needed to be removed as it contained foil. Here is a picture of a piece of cake that contained bits of the foil. Do not recommend this place.

    El pan ya no está esponjadito como antes y esta muy seco. Tengo un familiar que me comentó entes de darle una mordida que ya no ha comprado más porque ya no sabe igual. Sin creer, lo partí y luego me di cuenta de la textura. Después lo probé y para mi sorpresa, seco. Muy mal. Última vez que Compro.

    I ordered a cake from here this past weekend and I was upset because I had ordered a cake of 9 inches and when I got the cake it was 6 inches. I had a lot of guests that day and unfortunately I didn't have enough cake for everyone. I had my mom pick up the cake so she had no idea what size I had gotten. Just upset that they didn't pay attention to detail like this. On top of that they charged me the price of the big cake when I should of have paid for the small cake only.

    Beautiful and delicious!

    I am surprised to read all the bad reviews. I love this chain of bakeries! (I have been to 2 of their locations - little village & the ashland location) Awesome service, and aesthetically delicious cakes! I ordered my nephews' cake from here and it turned out beautiful, and tasted delicious! All the guests loved the cake, they raved about the great taste! It was a 3 tiered cake - with different flavors. Our flavors were tutti fruiti, abuelitas cake, and tia martita cake When choosing a design and flavor(s) we were a hot mess! Leticia (I think she is the owner) was super nice, and she sat down with us to help us create a cake! She suggested ideas, and we told her ours, together we created a beautiful Christening cake! **I smile just remembering about it** She also mentioned how most of the recipes were passed down to her from her Grandma. This was during the summer (90+ degree weather) so it was beyond convenient that they were able to deliver the cake directly to the hall. (We had ZERO issues with punctuality, and with the driver finding the hall) Truth be told I did not know this location had a cafe as well. I usually come here to order cakes, or pick up pastries.. not to HANG OUT!! So if your looking for a hangout place to have lunch, this probably will not be a good choice for you. Get in, order a cake, and get out! Their ashland locations has a bigger seating area, and a bigger menu selection. I will not go anywhere else for cakes but Bom Bon! I have recommended them to all my family and friends. My cousin had her wedding cake made here as well. They even have miniature versions of their popular flavors for $5.00 - great way to sample, or in my case, order a bunch of for a party :-) In my experience, cheap cakes are not usually the best in taste or ingredients. Great tasting, and aesthetically pleasing cakes are usually pricier. If you want great tasting cakes and great service this is your place.

    My favorite fruit is guayaba, this place has the best tres leches guava cake. Im addicted, its that good.

    I bought a birthday cake for my mom, I believe it was the Kahlua tres leches, it was pretty much a cake without the tres leches. I did also get the personal tres leches guava cake and that was beyond delicious.

    I believe it's called Martita it has a very light cheese cake inside along with raspberry filling and chocolate cake.

    My son asked me if I wanted a cake for Mother's Day and I said yes but it had to be from BomBon. He ordered my cake from the 26th St. location. It was a little pricey but if you want quality you have to pay for it. It was made fresh and was extremely delicious. The chocolate taste like La Abuelita Mexican chocolate.

    This is what the cake was promised to look like.

    I first of all had such high hopes since they weren't afraid to charge us 280 dollars for the cake we ordered just for it to look like shit. When I went in to inquire about the cake I was really specific on if it's not going to look exactly like this then I can go somewhere else but the owner was set on how he could do it and I didn't have to be worried because he did something like this before. He said to send the pictures of exactly what pictures we wanted on the cake so we did. A week before the event he again asked for the pictures saying he didn't receive them so we sent them again. Now the day of pickup we went at 10 and they said the cake wasn't even started on and they didn't have the pictures of what we wanted. So we had to reiterate the fact we needed it done by 12 and how could they not have the photos when we had send 2 times already. Again they couldn't find them because the owner had us send them to him when he wasn't even going to work on the cake because he was "off". It's all just very unprofessional. When I had my cousin pick it up they had just barely slapped the fondant on and let me tell you. That shit is ghetto. Spent nearly 300 dollars on a cake that I could've done a better job on. Don't go here even if it's your last resort. You'll spend an arm and a leg for a kidney and get a bean. I wish I could've gotten a discount or a full refund because honestly this shit was horrible looked horrible tasted horrible hardly had any strawberries and honestly a waste of time but idk what the statues of limitations are with this unprofessional ass cake company. I'm telling you for this price I should've just went to webers!

By the time I completed my order, the pickup time was 12:15pm. However, it's nice to order from wherever you are and know what time to swing by for your pickup. When I got there, the line wasn't as crazy as I've seen photos of, but it was still long. You get to walk inside past the line for online pick up. There's a sign on the counter. They make any drinks you order fresh when you get there, and it's really quick too! Service was very friendly and fast inside! The ube latte was one of the best ube flavors I've had in an ube latte before. Highly recommend! I had it iced. The pork belly adobo (only available on weekends I think) was a little disappointing. It's very possible it wasn't that great because it might've been sitting a few minutes before I picked it up and then it was 15-20 minutes uber back to my hotel to eat it. Food is always better when eaten fresh, so I don't fault them for it. The egg was perfectly cooked. I thought the pork belly would be cut in bigger chunks like their photos online, but they were cut very small. I want to try the breakfast sandwich next time I'm in town. The chocolate chip cookie with dark and white chocolate was big, soft, and yummy. I also got the banana tart which was SO good. It was not what I expected, but the flavors and textures were spot on. They have some benches on the side of their restaurant so if you do online order for pickup, I'd recommend trying to grab a spot there and eat the food fresh. I would recommend the baked goods and ube latte, not sure about the hot food until I can go back and try more menu items.

This is a fast casual spot so service was pretty fast. There is a decent amount of seating, most of which was surprisingly taken around 11am on a Thursday. For starters, they no longer have their rainbow cake! I was surprised to hear that considering how popular it's supposed to be. We got both banana lattes which were extremely sweet. It's basically dessert with a hint or caffeine. I'm a big fan of banana, so I actually liked this but I would've preferred half the sweetness. The Turkey Bacon & Egg Croissant was so good! A solid breakfast sandwich - the eggs were cooked perfectly, the turkey bacon was insanely crispy, and that sambal aioli was just what this needed. I highly recommend adding Avocado like I did for some freshness & creaminess since it's a heavy sandwich as is. The Cinnamon Roll was soft, moist, and not overly sweet. Overall, I really enjoyed this breakfast!
