    Carrot Cupcake
    Hector C.

    The Carrot Cupcake was pretty good. The icing wasn't too sweet, and the cake was so (insert word that makes some people uncomfortable). It was such a good little cupcake. My favorite overall was the vanilla vanilla vegan cupcake no picture cause we ate it so fast. Love this place. 5/5 Food - loved it 5/5 Service - she was kind and helpful 5/5 Ambiance - clean,fun and spacious

    The cake was beautiful and tasted even better. What a perfect cake for our daughter's first birthday. Service was excellent as well.

    I've been a fan of Cakabakery since the early days at its other Holland location in a strip off of Lakewood, which now sounds like it's the production facility for all locations. The big claim to fame is owner Jason Kakabaker being featured on an episode of the Food Network's Cupcake Wars. The original location still operates in popular downtown Grand Rapids (I've never been). The Instagram page alone gets big kudos for the regularly posted beautifully crafted cakes for special occasions and daily menu offerings. The bakers' and decorators' craft is super impressive to witness and definitely worth a follow! This new downtown storefront is perfect real estate, as 8th street was really starving for a bakery and the west end especially needed a coffee option. Also convenient to stop in during a farmer's market trip at the Civic Center. The interior is bright, clean, and fresh with sparkling countertops and a coastal vibe. Limited coffee options, but it sounds like that and tea is in the works. Take and bake options are a big plus! Overall, I'm a big fan but do think it's a little overpriced. A scone shouldn't cost the same as a slice of cake, considering the amount of effort that goes into the latter. But I'll be back!

    Had to take several bites. Probably 1/3 of the Snickerdoodle cookie!

    Best cookie I've ever had. I randomly stopped in on my way to the salon and grabbed a huge Snickerdoodle cookie. It was warm with the PERFECT amount of crisp edge and soft middle. I made a Yelp account so I could leave this review. It's that good!!

The food is good, but not usually worth these long wait times imo. Today, was a cloudy and cold Wednesday mid morning. The place was busy, but no long wait times. The food is always good. Everything I've ever eaten on the menu is good... but I have a special affinity for pig 'n the blankets, banket, and any Mexican inspired breakfast item in the menu. Today I had the chorizo Benny. It was fabulous and worth the $15 imo. Our waiter, Pedro, was the best! He's worked there for over a decade and knows the family that runs this restaurant--- 3 Dutch brothers--- he gave me a run down on the lore and all the pictures are of their family photos hanging around the restaurant. I think that's pretty cool. They will be opening and expanding into a new restaurant location on the corner of River and Lakewood Blvd sometime in the near future. That location will have more of a "hipster" vibe with breakfast cocktails, etc. Check them out when you want... but if you don't want to wait come during off peak hours and off season times. Make sure to peruse their bakery for some goodies to take home. Salud.

I drove up and loved the spacious parking lot. Walking in, the bakery was well lit and clean, and a bit overwhelming. They had so many kinds of baked goods, including some Dutch specialties like banket. (I honestly have no idea what that is but I know it's a Dutch pastry.) You can order 2, 3, 5, or 12 tenders at a time, and you can get them as a combo (with fries and a drink) or just by themselves. I opted for two tenders, one plain and one with original dry rub which is kind of like a ranch flavor. I also ordered a Diet Coke. The food didn't take too long to come out, and the tenders were hefty and super crispy. I liked the dry rub, but I think I'd just go with plain next time because they have the most delicious honey mustard. The Diet Coke was also super crispy and this was such a nice snack. They also have a menu of breakfast options like egg sandwiches, bagels, avocado toast, etc. The lunch menu is rounded out with salads, sandwiches, and mac and cheese. If I lived nearby I think I'd be a regular here!

I highly recommend this bakery!

We then ordered 6 large sheet cakes to be cut and served to our 300 guests. Our caterer pointed out the cake was not deliverd yet, at 30 minutes before ceremony. We had to call to get the cake delivered and it was all wrong....it was a styrofoam cake with buttercream frosting that was melting off in the July heat at our outside garden wedding and reception. We were also shorted one entire sheet cake. We met with Marcia 3 times to get what we wanted and gave her pictures. Luckily, we also had Ben and Jerry's Ice cream serving at the reception and some guests only had ice cream and no cake because we were shorted one entire sheet cake. We specifially ordered fondant on the styrofoam display cake so it would not melt, my daughter burst into tears with she saw her buttercream icing melting and exposing the forms underneath. Our caterer and photographer tried to fix the appearance for pictures. We had to pay the entire $600 up front and when I tried to contact Marcia after the wedding, she would never take any of my numerous calls. No response from letter I wrote. I should have sued her!
