    Lemon chiffon with lemon curd & raspberry sauce

    Christine- bakery chef & owner graciously worked with me to create the perfect cake for my girls weekend celebrating my friend's 60th birthday. The cake was not only elegant & beautiful, it was extremely delicious, moist, bright & refreshing. Can't thank you enough Christine for personally making this the most perfect cake.

    I have lived in Grass Valley for several years and I can't believe I didn't stop in here! It is located in a historic building in downtown Grass Valley ( across the street from the Owl). So cute inside and very welcoming! I saw Christine on Good Day Sacramento ( my fav morning show) and I knew I had been missing out on this place for years! The Croissant was delicious and there was some really delectable treats as well. They also serve lunch and coffee specialties. It's an upscale place using quality ingredients ! Try their soups when in the area! Well done Christine! I will be back!

    Cake Bakery & Cafe feels like stepping through the looking glass. I popped in for "just a slice and a drink" and immediately wanted to try everything in the case. My cake was unbelievably moist with frosting that was sweet without being cloying, and my drink was the perfect match. What really sealed it: the team. Everyone was so warm, patient, and genuinely excited to talk flavors and favorites. The space itself is gorgeous--soft colors, pretty details, and that whimsical, storybook vibe that makes you want to linger and celebrate something (even if it's just Tuesday). :) Magical treats, lovely people, dreamy ambiance. I'll be back to work my way through the rest of the menu. If you're even a little bit cake-obsessed (or just need a dose of joy), go.

    A German chocolate wedding cake of dreams

    If I could give more than five stars, I would. This bakery didn't just make our wedding cake, they poured love into every step of the process. From the owner and staff clear and thoughtful communication to the chef's artistry of the design, I felt completely cared for. And the taste? I still dream about that German chocolate cake. Moist, rich, unforgettable. Every bite felt like it was made with heart. This isn't just baking this is devotion and love you can taste it. I've been a loyal consumer of Cake for many years. It's not only a bakery but a vital piece of the community. 6 days a week you can count on a satisfying latte, a fresh croissant, kind staff and a relaxing atmosphere or a bustling bakery full of joy and excitement. Thank you Cake bakery, for all that you are.

    Incredible selection of pastries! Christine is an awesome owner!

    This is one of my favorite Coffee Bistros on the entire West Coast! Christine the owner is amazing and I just love her team! This is my shorter review but more is coming!

    Quiche Lorraine- so creamy
    Nicole B.

    This place is perfect stop for a bite to eat and a cup of tea. Quiche was creamy and melted in your mouth. Tea and coffee in real mugs. Space small but cosy, with indoor and outdoor tables. Service is fast and friendly.

    Chai, pumpkin soup and a pumpkin spice latte.
    Justin S.

    The food is amazing. The Thai pumpkin Soup is super good. You can taste the real fresh ingredients in it with it being homemade. The chai is delicious. Highly reccomend.

    Stopped in for lunch. Has a small but satisfying menu if you like to eat on the light side. No fried foods here, no burgers, etc... My Asian chicken salad was big and tasty. The greens were fresh and crunchy. The sliced chicken breast amount was generous. The dressing was bright, piquant without being too sweet, oily nor cloying. Had a cup of lemonade. It was perfect. Nice folks at the counter. Helpful and smiling. Just 4 outdoor tables on the sidewalk with patio umbrellas. I had my 2 Labrador retrievers tagging along so the opportunity to eat out on pedestrian Neal street is appreciated. There are several tables inside for you customers who are canine free. Finished with a Neopolitan 3 way cookie. Big, chewy & delicious. 5 stars on a modest budget. Recommended!

    We were visiting from Los Angeles and took a stroll through the promenade when we decided to stop for a snack. We picked up a carrot cake to enjoy later for dessert, and I believe it was the owner who kindly recommended keeping it at room temperature for the best flavor. As we were leaving, she surprised us with a complimentary baguette and warmly thanked us for stopping by, saying she hoped to see us again soon. That thoughtful gesture made our visit even more special. Later that evening, after dinner, we followed her advice and enjoyed the carrot cake at room temperature--it was absolutely delicious! Our only regret? Not ordering more. Now we know to stock up for our travels next time. Beyond the incredible treats, we loved the décor, the inviting atmosphere, and the friendliness of the staff. We can't wait to return!

    Beautiful and tasty birthday cake. My mom absolutely loved the Lemon Meringue with Raspberries. It was very special!!

    I've seen this place for a long time and I'm glad that I stopped in. It was a sunny day and a lovely time to be out on grass Valley walking mall. The owner was very kind and brought out the coffee as I am disabled and I will not be able to carry a cup Being grass Valley a couple of friends wondered by and they were going to have lunch there so they bought me some food and we had an hour and a half of a good conversation I will be back. It was wonderful.

    Service was pretty fast I got a tiramisu slice. It was tasty but a tad bit too sweet. Aesthetically pleasing and probably will go back.

    The cutest little shop perfect for a light lunch!…read more They were open on Sunday for the Christmas market but had a limited menu so we ordered pork tamales and veggie tamales, which were so fresh and tasty! The pork was much heavier than the veggie so choose according to hunger. We also tried the rye oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (hearty and rustic) and a unique masa cookie with hibiscus glaze, which is one of the most interesting desserts I've eaten recently. The subtle earthiness of the masa was offset by the hibiscus tang and sugar glaze Logistics: - one table for 4 inside only, there might have been a back patio but unclear - limited street parking nearby - I think tamales and masa cookie were gluten free but double check

    This has to be one of my favorite bakeries ever! I love this place so much that a two and half hour…read moredrive is worth it. I adore here with all my heart as they offer delicious small batch handcrafted and seasonal desserts with fresh organic peaches from twin peaks for their peaches n cream brioche donut, for example, to their cakes, Mexican pastries such as a wide variety of conchas, cookies, savory buns, tacos, and much more! Everyone is very kind and knowledgeable about every item! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them and you may be impressed and amazed but their responses. Panadería Matilija also has a beautiful outdoor space to sit and enjoy! I recommend getting your pastries for here because every item comes on a beautiful unique dishware and glassware that I adore very much! So much love goes into this place and it really shows! I can't wait for my future visits!

    Very poor experience this morning. I had my dog with me - ordered latte and a berry croissant…read more Overpriced ($16!), but wanted to support a local business. All was going fine, and we were happily bopping to the music while my pastry was being heated, but my pup yelped at a clearly non-dog person and the manager (?) came out screaming at me "THAT DOG CANNOT BE IN HERE!!" I am happy to avoid businesses with anti-dog policies if they are posted (was not). And, by law, a business has to ask you if it's a service animal before asking you to leave. Regardless, I would have been happy to leave with my already purchased product, but the woman kept screaming while I was waiting for them to hand me my pastry. I was so embarrassed and angry with her attitude, I spilled my coffee on the sidewalk outside as I was trying to get away from her. There are service-oriented ways to address this type of situation - yelling at your customers is not one. Especially followed by a snide "have the day you deserve" as I was leaving. I will never return and will discourage others. Ftr, went to Flour Garden and after hearing the story, they gave me a discount on my replacement latte. The pastry sucked, by the way - overdone on the outside, claggy on the inside and no flavor.

    Coming to three forks was such a treat being able to get something yummy that's also locally…read moresourced. We ordered a house sausage pizza and to add the salami to the pizza which was a great choice loved the pizza we watched it get made right in front of us and their bacon and cheddar melt. I personally though the bacon and cheddar melt was fine I probably wouldn't order it again looking back on it just simply on the fact it was $21 and the pizza was $23 it just felt very boring and overpriced in comparison to the pizza. I do love the sustainability of this place but find it odd the water cups are plastic after all the effort put into reusable, sustainable, organic, and farm fresh It definitely eat here again especially with the fact the menu is always changing the pastries here were a hit every other table had something from the bakery or a pizza. This is a great spot to come on a date or with a bunch of friends. I haven't tried the brews here yet but I'm looking forward to it. The staff here are very sweet and food comes out quickly. Parking is right outside of Three forks and plentiful even on a Sunday afternoon.
