My second cake order! I got the mango cake (again) and it always is a hit - I never have any leftovers for a party. It's the perfect balance of sweetness, very fluffy, and creamy. I love the fruit mixed in the center. The fruit decoration is SO good, I don't know how they do it so well. read more

Solid service. The Indian Girl says she has been buying cakes from them for years. And I have enjoyed a few of them. Spoken to them about other events as well. Consistently good. Their egg less cakes have a bonus of not being too sweet. read more

Bravo! Café and Bakery - Birthday Mango Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Bravo is a quaint and quiet cafe / bakery! There is really no seating available within the shop so it's more of a grab and go place. I ordered an iced chai tea latte which was delicious! There were many menu items that weren't available but we went near closing time which may have contributed to that! We didn't try any of the baked goods but I would love to come back and try some of their bakery items. read more

Loved the mango cake! The cake was light and fluffy and the cream was not too sweet. Our family of 21 had the 14" cake but only ate half. Perhaps we should have ordered the 10" cake instead. read more

SERVICE: Sent an email for a custom order heart cake on Wednesday 2/12/25 for a pick-up of Saturday 2/15/25. I used the cake ordering form on their website as a reference for what information they needed for the cake order: size, flavor, name, email, telephone#, pick-up date, pick-up time. I included reference photos for what style I wanted it to look like. They called me back in about an hour to tell me which of the reference photos they could replicate and quoted me a price of $90 for a 10-inch custom order purple heart cake. FOOD: I requested that they make a 10-inch purple and lavender-colored heart-shaped cake. I sent a couple of reference photos. They were able to make a close replica of one of my reference photos and matched the exact colors that I wanted. They did the lettering on top of the cake at the time of pick-up. The quality of the strawberry fruit cake was amazing! The flavor was subtle and the cake was soft, spongy. There was real fruit inside of the cake, but it was not strawberry, so I was a bit let down by that. I also wish the heart shape was a bit more pronounced. But overall, the cake was enjoyed by me and my guests at my birthday party. Got compliments for it on social media! read more

Bravo bakery is an adorable shop with a comforting feel. The staff are very kind and friendly. I got a hot jasmine green tea. I was a little disappointed because a lot of the menu options were not available, but it was also the end of the day. Definitely will be returning to try some more options! read more

So I first discovered this small little bakery/boba drink place over 10 yrs ago when I worked in the area and was introduced to their cream puffs Let me tell you that these are AMAZING!! Now I'm a big dessert snob and coming from a European nation I know my baked goods and Bravos Chioux pastry is spot on and the custard vanilla cream filling is to die for and best yet it's served ice cold so when it spills out it's perfect! Also they give u a lot of filing not like other places do. They are first come first served only Thurs- sat until sold out so you just take a chance. I haven't tried anything else here but I hear good things about their cakes and they look so beautiful that I need to order one for my next special occasion It's a small space they have a couple tables but it looks like the family is just sitting there or hanging out so I always order to go and cash is best as they charge a credit card fee Parking available on the street on Grand read more

We went in on a Saturday morning to choose some slices and made a little taste-testing spread for my mom's birthday since they have so many great flavor options! The staff were helpful and suggested options for us. The cakes were absolutely delicious. The cake was moist and frosting was perfect sweetness. The taro and mango were my favorite. Loved that there were real chunks of fruit in there! We'll definitely be back!! read more

Friendly staff. A nice place to sit and have a bite either sweet or savory. Had a latte and cherry danish and some to go. The whole family liked their pastry. Will try the cake of the month for my birthday. Worth a visit. read more

The cake is very average, I like it because it is not sweet like the other cake. I normally order the toro cake.

I go here for all my cakes needs especially for birthday cake. Very nice customer service and if you want a cake they require that you order at least 48 hours in advance or else they will charged an additional fee if order within 48 hours. They don't open Sunday so if you need a cake for Sunday, you need to pick up by Saturday. I love that they have other flavor cakes besides just my favorite mango and it comes in different sizes, or you can get it by the slice at the display. They have a little mini dining area where you can sit to have coffee and cakes, but it's a bit outdated. The shop is on a busy street on grand so parking could be hard at time. Been here for many years and love their sweet treat and cakes read more

Little gem in Saint Paul. We love ordering our Durian cakes from here. Flavor is great and presentation is fun with the fresh fruit that is added to the top. Few tips: - they are closed on Sundays, so check date and hours - place online order ahead at least 48 hours in avoid additional fee - have someone wait in the car so you can run in quick versus needing to find a parking spot (it's a somewhat busy corner) read more

We get cakes from here often. They are good as long as the fruit they use are in season. We have been getting cake from here for over 10 years now. I am sure I can find a picture to post soon. The cake we get often is mango cake, decorated beautifully with many fruits such as kiwi, strawberry and mango. In between frosting has mango chunks in it. The base of the cake is very tasty, soft and airy. I believe it's called chiffon cake. They offer many flavors such as strawberry, matcha and taro as well but mango has stuck with us. read more

Came in for some baked goods and a refreshing boba tea. Only to discover lots of cakes in their display. Seems like this a cake shop that decided to start selling boba milk tea. It was a little confusing the way they offer the flavorings. You can only choose a flavor of milk tea that the milk is offered in. I know that also sounds confusing, but basically you can't add any flavor you want to any type of milk you desire. The taste was just ok, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

Bravo is my family's favorite!!! Whenever I'm in charge of getting a cake for birthdays, graduation parties, and whatever crazy event I'm invited to I almost ALWAYS ORDER from here! Both my parents (typically Asians af) do not have a sweet tooth and generally doesn't care for cakes but also love the cakes from here because they are not too sweet, little and airy made with fresh fruit. Usually I order online but one time my order didn't go through and the staff was willing to accommodate! I ordered a last minute full sheet cake for my brother's graduation and they were so nice to take my order. The owner said she was overbooked for a wedding but since she knows I always order and support their business, she would do my order by 2pm that day! Online ordering is super duper easy or you can call to place an order (I would recommend emailing if no answer after a couple of tries). With COVID, it does seem like they are asking for consumers to pay in advance but that's fine with me because it's so worth it! They also have tea, boba, cake by the slice and other sweets here! Parking as be a little of a pain and I find myself circling at times but it's totally worth it. read more

Mmmm what can I say..?? I didn't have a great experience at all. - Bakery shop it's too old, the decoration it's totally weird and it doesn't tell me anything. - Cake: We Gad the Mango Cake, it looks good BUT mmm I was very sad, It was just ok. - Price: I think it's too expense for the experience. So I won't go back, it is sad because it has a great location, but I'm sure people are not going back anymore. You guys need to change A LOT of things there specially because you have a BIG competition which is Cafe Latte. Bye bye bye. read more

We ordered a cake for a graduation celebration from here. I'm not usually a fan of cake because of how dry they can be and the icing is usually overly sweet. However, the cake from Bravo was unlike any cake I've ever had. First off, it was beautifully decorated with the fruit on top and then the icing wasn't too sweet at all. The cake was so moist and fluffy with more fruit inside. The bakery isn't huge but it's a hidden gem. People seem to love their cream puffs too. Overall, I'm surprised how much I liked the cake from here. It was delicious! read more

Oh, Bravo. I remember back when you first opened, a little Taiwanese bakery serving light, airy cakes stuffed full of fruit and a small menu of vegetarian dishes. The family running it are kind, sweet, and devoted to their little store. Since then, I believe the food is a thing of the past, but the cakes and baked goods live on. We have had cakes made for birthdays, catered for parties, sent for friends...every time, people are astounded by Bravo's delicious and un-saccharine take on cake, and utterly confused about how they've never heard of this place. If you don't believe me, go in for a slice and try it out. (And then order a full cake for your next event.) The mango is always my and my mother's favorite, but any fruit flavor will astound. The flavor profiles and textures are very East Asian, soft and fluffy, not too sweet, no overwhelming use of dairy or butter. The result is a cake that won't leave you feeling overly full or heavy, just refreshed and happy. read more

I love this bakery! The cakes are so soft, feels like it'll melt in your mouth. Flavor is not too sweet, the real fruit inside is fresh too. I called 2 days ahead of time to order two big birthday cakes and it was made beautifully. read more

Heard about this bakery so decided to order two cakes for my kids birthday party. By the time I got home you can't even read the writings anymore. So disappointing. The lady didn't even bother looking at the order form and couldn't even spell my kids name. I requested one to be custom made to be blue for my son and it's obvious they didn't bother at all. Very disappointing. read more

This place makes such beautiful cakes! My mom's birthday was coming up, and I ordered a birthday cake from here- she loved it. I drive 30 minutes to get to this bakery and it's so worth it. The cakes aren't super sweet, it's just right. They let you pre-order the cakes 48-hours before you're able to pick it up. I got the 10" cake and it was $40 which I find is a fair price. read more

I'm not from the Minneapolis area but I heard about Bravo from a Facebook group. I'm so glad this place was recommended to me! We needed a custom cake for a friends surprise party and Bravo REALLY delivered. I've had asian cakes before but not Taiwanese cakes. My friends said it was the best cake they've ever had. It was the perfect level of sweetness and every piece melted in your mouth. I was also amazed by their variety in fruit on the cake. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a cake! read more

I have been getting cakes here for about 10 years now. I buy cakes here not just for special occasions, sometimes I buy an 8 inches cake just to eat for myself. My favorite one is the mango, green tea and pineapple. Recently I ordered an 8 inch chocolate supposedly for people. The cake looks great on the outside, but it didn't taste good. I don't know what happened but it was a disappointment. Of course it looks fantastic but the chocolate cake from cub food tastes a lot better. read more

Delicious all natural low sugar. Best birthday cakes ever. Great flavor. It's also a small cafe with tea smoothies and coffee. Call ahead for birthday cakes a few days in advance but sometimes they have extra cakes short notice. read more

Since I found Bravo! on the iPhone app, Veg Out, two months ago, I have been stopping in on a weekly basis in attempts to sample every vegetarian/vegan mock-meat option on the menu! The staff is always friendly and extremely prompt (less than five minute wait between ordering and receiving the meal)! Seating is a bit limited, so bringing a group of more than four could get tight if there are other customers dining-in. Additionally, there are two or three small tables set up outside when the weather is accommodating to outside dining. The portion sizes are huge and each entree is under $7. The sesame "chicken" is currently my favorite meal here. It would be amazing if they had vegan desserts available...maybe someday! Suggestion: Vegans and vegetarians need to check this place out ASAP! read more

I still haven't been able to try the cream puffs here. They are always out, probably because I usually come here in the evening. Will try to make it there earlier on some day for the cream puffs. I don't like overly sweets cakes, so the fruit cakes here are perfect for me. My favorite is the Mango Cake. It's fluffy with real fruits and real cream! I also really like the Green Tea flavor. I actually like these two flavors too much so I always get them and haven't tried any other flavors lol. Will try my best to get something else next time. I know they have some speciality tea and drinks here, but I haven't tried any yet. Not sure about their food either. I go for the cakes!! read more

It's covid and I miss cake. The fluffy and light icing, fresh fruit, and delicious taro filling were calling my name. I ordered a cake online and picked it up on the agreed date. The cake was phenomenal! The staff during pick up were amazing. read more

I come from a Vietnamese family and my husband is Laotian and we both grew up on Chinese style cakes with fruit and whipped topping. There are limited choices to where you can buy these cakes in Minnesota, it's down to two and Bravo has a great variety and better decorations. I've ordered cakes from here several times, the most recent for my brother's graduation party, we got a green tea with fruit cake and added the graduation cap decoration for an additional cost. They make it easy to order online if you aren't going to be too specific on how you want it to look and the pricing is resonable for what you get. The cake was a hit and it was gone in literally 10 minutes. People were grabbing a slice for themselves and then coming back to get more for the rest of their table at the party. I highly recommend their cakes as they are not too sweet and can feed a lot of people. We are already going to be ordering another cake for my son's third birthday later this month. It is worth the drive for us from Maple Grove since we know everyone will love the cake flavor we choose and if you can get my whole family to eat it (not everyone likes sweets and dessert) then you have a winner. read more

Bravo always makes the best cakes, my moms favorite. We always get durian, taro or green tea and red bean. The cakes are so affordable compared to cafe latte and less sweet (they use a whip buttercream frosting)! Very light, delicious and always decorated so beautifully!! The service is stellar too, they follow up on your online orders and are so quick about it. I always suggest bravo bakery to all my friends and family :) read more

I walked past this bakery so many times before I realized it was a Chinese bakery that sells the cakes I grew up eating in Los Angeles and sorely missed ever since I moved to MN. The storefront is so unassuming, but once I finally noticed the unmistakable spongey Angel food cake covered in fresh whipped cream frosting and fresh fruit, I bee-lined right in. I always get their taro cake slice--it's light and refreshing on the palate. Their strawberry cake is also wonderful. I have yet to try their cream puffs, which I've read are super popular. They stopped making them when the pandemic hit, but I hope to one day get some of them! read more

I ordered durian cake for my birthday and it tastes better than the fruit itself! I never ate a whole cake in my life and I ate this one with no hesitations. The texture is so smooth and silky, the taste is so rich, I would give it a 10 out of 5 rating if I can. I don't feel like craving for durian after eating the cake. Please keep making it and I'll definitely buy it again! read more

I stopped by this bakery today after finding out that they have Taro cake! The shop is pretty small but it's really cute and there are about 3 tables and a small bar/stool area for seating. The server behind the counter was really nice and answered my questions about cake orders. I couldn't decide between the taro cake and green tea cake, so I ordered both (though they also had other flavors such as strawberry, mango, blueberry, etc.). They also had some sort of cheesecake bread that I will probably try next time. The taro cake was light and I could tell that they used real taro to make it! I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. The green tea flavor was also really light and yummy but I think I prefer the taro cake over it. It's definitely a cute shop if you want to catch up with a friend or something because you can get drinks along with your cake here. I'll definitely be back when I am craving some light asian desserts! read more

Very small family owned business. So much of the food is made from scratch, and very delicious cakes. The cream puffs are super underrated! Fantastic puffs fresh every single day. Gotta have it. Expect brusque transactions and mild confusion while in the shop, but it's part of the charm. Mango cake is by far the best seller. read more

Delicious strawberry and mango cake! If you are expecting a sugary surupy sweet you will be disappointed. The cakes are made with natural flavors and ingredients... cool and sweet. Perfect for a warm day. Each has pieces of real fruit incorporated (reminded me of fruit cocktail). I give it 4 stars. But I give a 5 star rating to their Lychee smoothie! I could drink that everyday. It is a sweet fruit and tastes incredible. Try it if you haven't before or are a fan of lychee. I recommend it as a smoothie, I haven't had it in the bubble tea form. read more

They have the best fruit decorated cakes. So far green tea is my favorite flavor but I've also enjoyed Mango. They also have decent bubble tea. Not the widest selection but enough to get by. Their tea and coffee is decent as well. I don't think they are as well known for their food but I have tried it and it is ok. Last time I bought a gift set of Pineapple cake to give to my boyfriend's mom. She loved them. Also, it looks like they sell out of creme puffs pretty fast so try visiting earlier if you want a taste of them. read more

Had the first cake I bought here. Made a last minute order at 2pm with the bakery closing at 6pm. I came and picked up the cake at 5:30pm. It was a strawberry sponge fruit cake filled with those creamy fruit mixed fillings. I paid $30 for an 8" cake and overall was very satisfied. Very nice for what you get. Other competitors are similar but this place is better because it is a little bit cheaper and comes with the option of more cake flavor choices and designs. They have those number candles too readily available, which was nice!~ read more
