Cake made the most beautiful cake for my daughter's birthday! I sent over a mockup of what I had in mind, and they recreated it almost exactly. Christine was so easy to work with, honest (and hilarious), and I really appreciated that she wasn't afraid to steer me away from decorations that looked pretty but wouldn't actually be pleasant to eat The cake looked **amazing** We got the strawberry cream cake with buttercream frosting and it was absolutely delicious. We had leftovers for three nights, and family even came back over two nights later for more! Beautiful cake, delicious, and such great people to work with. We'll definitely be back! read more

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! read more

Christine- bakery chef & owner graciously worked with me to create the perfect cake for my girls weekend celebrating my friend's 60th birthday.

Simply the very best. Amazing, artful and delicious every scrumptious bite... order in advance for special occasions.

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I stopped by for a bite to eat at Cake Bakery and Cafe when I was in Grass Valley for the day. Since I was in the mood for something savory, I opted for the sandwich of the day, which was the "Grande". It was a vegetarian sandwich with egg frittata as the main protein. I opted for the half portion, which was the perfect size for a late breakfast/brunch. The order also came with greens tossed in a light vinaigrette. The employee who had taken my order kindly brought my order outside to the table I was sitting at when it was ready, along with silverware and a glass of water. I enjoyed my food outside in the shade while listening to a podcast and brought my cleared dishes back in when I was all done. Next time when I'm in the area, I'll be sure to swing by to try whatever sandwich they are offering for the day and grab a cup of coffee too! read more

If this was just about the food this would be a 5 star review. We went in about 1:30, had one person in front of us and maybe one other visible customer at a table. After waiting forever for the one customer, the cashier told us to wait & went to talk with other staff then perform some other chores. With 3 people behind the counter we waited and waited then left, my wife saying to the cashier "we give up" & the cashier wished us a nice day. We would have ordered a pie & probably bought a cake. This is not a one off. Every time we come up from Auburn we drop by. We've learned if they have more than 3 customers waiting not to bother, it will be an impossible wait and have walked away more than purchasing. I can't imagine how much business they lose. I don't know about you, but I don't beg anyone to take my money. read more

I ordered an amazing cake, Swedish Princess, for Easter, a beautiful presentation and very delicious. The special cake has a marzipan paste/glaze with a whipped cream, jam, and cake filling.

Amazing place with really good coffee, desserts and croissants! They have a rose matcha latte special which was just incredible- so nicely made, subtle flavors, not sugary.

We stopped into Cake for a little late breakfast/early lunch while we were out in town that day. We were drawn in by the exterior of the building which looks like an old bank or something really cool, then I saw the 'Cake' sign and it was like the old French metro signs - which sold me! We went in and this place was decorated like a little French bistro with flowers painted on the walls and cakes and fruit everywhere. It felt like a movie! The baked goods in the display case were so perfect looking too. We got the soup, sandwich, and the Swedish cardamom cake (which was the best thing ever!). The staff really cared about each and every order and helped us with our order very professionally. I will definitely stop in every time we are in town! read more

We purchased baked goods here on a visit. This place had a nice ambience and the pastries and coffee were excellent!

Always kind, courteous, clean and absolutely delicious! It's my go-to bakery in the area. Creative pastries always delight! I try to go every week as there is always something new and delectable. I also love lunch and had a delicious bowl of carrot ginger soup and a salad. I love also that they make an effort to keep everyone safe with masks, being in the food business, this very important as it reflects on their respect for sanitary conditions around food. read more
