These cakes are very moist, perfectly frosted, and have the right balance of sweetness. They make the best red velvet and strawberry cake I have ever tasted. The customer service is fast and friendly. read more

Please ignore the ignorant, poorly written, and disrespectful assessments. The Cake Bar sells terrific cakes! I'm in love with "Hummingbird" and "Italian Cream". I was introduced to the The Cake Bar at the 2022 Riverfront Jazz Festival and I visit them every time I come to Dallas. Go by there and spoil yourself. Spoil your sweet tooth all the way! read more

Place look nice but the cakes where not good.. almost taste like the cake are made for diabetes... icing not sweet enough at all and the cakes taste kinda off... maybe I just caught them on a bad day not sure ... but I spent a lot of money for 5 slices of cake that all ended up in the trash read more

I'm just gonna be straight up, I ate the cake(s)... but it wasn't a "all sh&$ I have come back" . I can literally doctor up a box cake and make a homemade buttercream... it will come out better. Hype for sure...Unfortunately I won't be back. Tried 6, yes cakes. Not it! read more

First time trying this place out after a friend recommended it. I'm not really a cake type of person, but my fiancé loves desserts. The place is pretty small & they have signs for which direction you're supposed to walk due to the pandemic, but it seems like no one follows it. Nevertheless, the cake was pretty good. We each got one slice: him lemon & me Italian wedding. The cake is kind of dense, but full flavor & moist. My fiancé finished his practically in one sitting. It actually took me three servings to finish it. I like more icing on my cake, but it was pretty good. read more

I LOVE CAKE BAR. It's a loveable place and anyone who says otherwise is _______. If you're a cake lover like me, please come here. First of all, I love the blue exterior of the shop. I think it's cool that they have a large menu outside of the store (see attached picture). Second of all, the customer service is great. I've been here twice and I haven't had any issues. They say the "third time's a charm" so now I have to go back! Third of all, and most importantly, their cakes are delicious! I've tried key lime, German chocolate, and hummingbird cake. They were all soft and flavorful. I will be back. read more

At the suggestion of a friend, I swung by Cake Bar prior to heading to the airport. This place had it all! There were whole cakes, cake slices, small loafs, cookies, brownies, and other desserts. I asked what the best selling cake was and the lady behind the counter picked up their last slice of strawberry cake. I'm not really a fan of strawberry cake but if it's good, I'll eat any kind of cake. I also got banana nut, pumpkin, and sweet potato breakfast loaves. I must admit, that strawberry cake was delicious! It was moist and soft with real strawberry flavor. The strawberry preserves in between the layers was a little strange, however, and it added an artificial taste. The pumpkin loaf was absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed the sweet potato one as well. On the afternoon that I visited, gospel music filled the air and the smell of fresh cakes wafted though the store. It was essentially empty, which I've heard is unusual. But, it gave me a great opportunity to look around the place to survey their inventory. I'd love to return and taste my favorite cake flavored - red velvet and chocolate. read more

One of the fondest memories I have from growing up is picking up my grandmother from work. My grandmother was a cafeteria lady at an elementary school back in the 70s-80s (back when they cooked real food with real ingredients). She always brought the leftover chocolate chip cookies and I remember sitting in the back seat of our royal blue Lincoln smiling from ear to ear because those were THE best cookies I'd ever tasted. As an 8 year-old, I thought my grandmother was a MASTER baker and every holiday she would make red velvet cake. I was never a cake fan, but the red velvet cake was soooo delicious. But time goes on and grandmothers age and pass away and memories fade. As an adult I searched high and low for that red velvet cake that Lola Parks used to make, but every red velvet cake I met tasted like chocolate cake. Here's a tidbit for you that you may not know, if you don't like red velvet cake, it's because it is made wrong...if it tastes like chocolate cake it is wrong, wrong, wrong! When I went to Cake Bar, I ordered the red velvet cake, I always do, hoping and praying that I will bite into a super moist cake that takes me back to my grandmother's little kitchen. I didn't even wait to get home I opened it and took a bite in the car. I fully expected to taste chocolate cake. My husband stared at me hoping as well because he had been on this journey with me, hearing all these years about my love for red velvet cake except it doesn't taste like what most people know as red velvet cake. I had tried to describe the taste to him, but because he had never tasted Lola Parks' red velvet cake, I think he had gotten to the point that he didn't even believe me when I would take one bite of red velvet cake and throw it in the trash and say, "nope, that's not it!" I opened the cake bar container and took a deep breath. I hadn't realized that I was actually holding my breath! I slowly took a bite...the cake didn't even have to rest on my tongue long before my body went into a state of euphoria! My taste buds said, "that's it!" and it was like the rest of my body cheered, "THAT'S IT!!" Maybe my eyes rolled to the back of my head, but I couldn't breathe yet, I had to take another bite. My husband staring deep into my face like, "Well???". I couldn't even speak, I just smiled. I was taken back to sitting at the kid's table eating red velvet cake in Lola Parks little kitchen, kicking my feet, savoring every bite. This was love, this was family, this was home. This was red velvet cake!! *minus those godforsaken nuts...I will let them pass because the cake was so delicious.* You have to wow the pants off of me to get a five star rating! I never want to be those raters that give fives (or ones) and my judgement becomes questionable. Like I said, I am not a cake fan, but they did other things right! The super, super moist pumpkin bread, the hearty banana nut bread...and the banana pudding only had one slice of banana (yes, I am that person that doesn't like bananas in the banana pudding or peaches in the peach cobbler). I would have loved to have way more cookie in the pudding, but honestly the pudding stands alone quite nicely! I miss grandmother's love in cooking, it is something this world needs desperately, but I'm alright, alright, alright if I can get that anytime I order Cake Bar's red velvet cake....I've been there twice in a week already! read more

Update: My companion purchased two slices of the lemon cake. She reported that her cake slices were dry and that the lemon flavor was off, like a metal or chemical taste. Definitely our last trip to Cake Bar. read more

I placed two orders within one week and tried a variety of cake products. Here's my experience... I pre-ordered a German Chocolate cake ($40) for a birthday party. The online ordering process was smooth and sleek via Toast. They even have a rewards program to drum up repeat business which is nice. I picked up the cake and decided to buy myself a slice to try the Old Fashioned. The slices are not stored in cold storage, rather just sitting on their counters. I went home to try the slice of Old Fashioned and the cake was dry. Not a good first impression. I was concerned about the German Chocolate cake, but had no alternatives, so I served it after dinner. The cake was fantastic! It was moist and delicious. It had the perfect ratio of coconut and pecans. Total redemption! I made another order within a week for two 5" cakes in Wedding and Old Fashioned ($15 each but had $6.50 in rewards!) I just had to try it again. We picked up the small cakes around 1pm. After dinner, we decided to dig in. I was happy to see the Old Fashioned was perfect, moist and chocolatey. The Wedding Cake, unfortunately, was not. Another dry cake from Cake Bar. I sent an email to them using the contact information from their website explaining my two experiences. A representative responding basically told me that the cakes are best at room temperature and that their products are fresh. The email from Cake Bar was sent from a cell phone and wasn't signed, totally unprofessional. When the slice from last week was purchased, it wasn't in a refrigerated case. The two 5" cakes were sitting on a table and not refrigerated. Both products were consumed well after any possible refrigeration. Simple fact is the cake was dry at room temperature. The bakery dropped the ball by not trying to do some service recovery. I highly recommend buying a larger cake. I'd steer clear of the smaller slices and 5" cakes due to inconsistencies in those products. I gave them 2 stars for not even offering a small credit after spending over $60 on cake in two weeks. read more

When I think of a great place to grab a slice of cake... I automatically think of cake bar. First of all I'm not a huge cake person but I love this place! They are the exception to the rule for me! They have a beautiful display of cakes that you can scoop out from the window. But trust me you will want to go in! The cakes are freshly made and taste just like the way the flavor is listed! I highly recommend the strawberry and key lime piece. The y have real pieces of fruit in the cake which is so delightful to the taste buds. The line is normally not too long so you grab a slice quickly. Most of them cost $4.50 which is average pricing. They don't have seating area but they have seating out on the patio as well. They are quite friendly with superb food sweet selection to choose from. read more

Yes first of all I think the customer service could be more friendlier my first time in there a lady I think was the owner did'n have Good Customer Service and I purchased several items and the chocolate cake that I brought was a little bitter it was chocolate on chocolate I Never had a Chocolate cake that tastes like that one I called and she told me that they have a bitter taste even the chocolate icing on the other flavors cakes don't want them anymore. read more

The Cake Bar has so many cakes to choose from and it's always a plus when you can order a piece of cake by the slice. I have been to the Cake Bar about six times and the cakes were either very moist or very dry. Their cakes are pre-sliced and in my opinion the cakes should stay whole until the customer places their order. My 25th anniversary of the day I met my spouse was yesterday. I ordered my cake and paid for it over the phone on Thursday morning to guarantee a fresh made cake. I arrived Saturday morning around 11:45 to pick up my cake. When I sliced into the cake, I could already tell the cake was dry. The knife did not go through the cake with ease. I sliced a piece for myself and my husband. I felt the inside of the cake and it felt like the cake had been made a week prior. I took one bite and immediately knew the cake was not fresh. The cake went in the trash. I wasted my money coming here but this will be my last visit. If you are lucky enough to come on the days when their cakes are freshly made you will love their cakes. It's a gamble that I'm not willing to make anymore. read more

Cake Bar - Dry Cake - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have never tasted cake so dry. We spent almost $30 here today and we bought 4 slices of cake in 4 different flavors. Every single one was dry. All of us were so disappointed. I rarely leave a one star review but if I had read the recent complaints of others, we would have skipped it all together. Hopefully my review will help others. read more

Cake Bar is a little shop located in the Trinity Groves area of Dallas that just happens to specialize in cakes. Atmosphere: A nice and tidy store that was very clean and was setup to really show off the cakes. Nice displays for the cookies and quick breads too. 1 Star Service: Just a quick counter service. The place was basically empty (1 other person) so we just walked up to the register with our items and the only words spoken were, "Will this be all?" That was the extent of the service. No one approached us as we were looking at cakes and trying to decide on one. 1/2 Star. Food: I'll admit I was quite disappointed. I expected much more from a place that named itself after the item they specialized in. We ordered one slice of the Key Lime Cake, a slice of Banana Nut Bread, and two Cookies (chocolate chip and peanut butter). The cookies were nice and soft (the way I like them), not to mention HUGE. Sadly though, I didn't find them any better than a cookie bought from one of the chains in most malls. The Banana Nut Bread was okay, but almost every homemade BNB I have ever had has been much more moist and tasty. Now to the "specialty," the cake. It was moist and the slice was very large. It was also very eye appealing. Once again though, it was "okay," but it was actually quite hard for me to get much of a "lime taste" from it. I even had my wife try it (not a big key lime fan) and she said it had a hint but generally just taste like some sweet cake. The icing was definitely sweet, but there just wasn't any of that distinct key lime tang to it. I just feel like I have had much better cakes through a popular chain like Nothing Bundt. I would normally like to try a place a second time to see if it was just a bad day, but in this case, with every item being just mediocre, I feel like this is their norm. I know many people like this place and to each his own, but to me it just wasn't anything special. 1/2 Star Overall Impression: If u are into mediocre confections and barely any interest from the staff that you graced their door, then I have found a place for u. I doubt I'll ever be back. 2 Stars ------------------------ My Rating System: Things have changed. I felt it was too easy to get 4-5 Stars so I will be giving out many more 1/2 Stars and basing my reviews on a 10 point system rather than 5. 1 Star-Wouldn't let my dog eat here 2 Star-Below average-usually something really struck me as being bad and I doubt I would ever return. 3 Star-Average-Might come back. Might not if there are better options. 4 Star-Above average-will definitely come back and try something new. 5 Star-Phenomenal-Will definitely return for such an amazing experience. read more

Yes, this place is soooo cute, fun, friendly and filled with all kinds of cakes. We went there after a dinner for my son's birthday... I mean it's a cake bar, right?! Super friendly. Their team made one announcement about my son's birthday and suddenly the entire restaurant broke out in song together, no hesitation. It may be a small space, but it packs a bunch of peeps, who all sang. It was a moment for sure... but let's talk cake. Strawberry... pretty, fresh, going again today and getting this again... THAT good; did you see the Key Lime Cake? It's green and it's amazing. We bought an entire one of these to take home; chocolate is super rich but seriously good. You may want to share this one. Honestly, they're all good. So, go! Yes, I was serious about going again today. Think I may even get another whole cake to go. Cake Bar. Love it! read more

I'd gone here about three years ago, by recommendation of a friend, and got the strawberry and key lime cakes. They were ok, but not the best I'd ever had. Fast forward to this past Thursday when I was back in Trinity Groves and someone told me they had a cake ATM. I went to check it out and noticed that they had caramel. I tried it and was totally glad I did. It was delicious! Now, I'm just trying to plan when I will make my way back down there. The caramel cake is a winner! read more

Cake Bar, where to begin? Once you walk in, you're surrounded with delicious variety of cakes. You can't walk out just with one flavor, if you do, are you really a cake fan? Recently, they installed a cake vending machine outside their establishment for late night craving, however, cake is always gone. That should tell you something. If the owners of Cake Bar hasn't already, installing a cake vending machine at other locations would be AMAZING. Either way, I love this place. read more

So glad to have supported this black-owned spot in Trinity Groves. Went with my fave, the cake. It was sooo moist and delicious even after the 2nd day.

Was going to give 3 stars, but I just can't. I ordered several slices, but ate the Neapolitan in-store. The chocolate was great; I did not care for the strawberry or vanilla as they were very dense. The icing was excellent! I traded in the strawberry to-go slice since I didn't like it in the Neapolitan. I just opened the chocolate slice at home (35 miles away) and there was a long hair across the top of it. Between the unimpressive cake, and the extra unwanted ingredients, I won't be back. read more

I got the chocolate cake from a vending machine for $8. The flavor was okay but I feel like I could get the same from a grocery store.

This place is a cake lovers dream. By the slice by the teeny cake or full size layers of all the good stuff. Classic flavors like your grandma would make. Tight space on a busy night, but roll through see the cases and take a slice to go. We tried the Dark Chocolate. The icing is Rich and creamy and the cake super dark classic chocolate. In an energetic area with great views of the city lights. read more

Remember the "Soup Nazi" episode from Seinfeld? The soup was pretty good, but getting it meant you had to endure a borderline abusive customer experience. That's similar to Cake Bar. Every time I go, the employees are unapologetically rude. It's uncanny, and doesn't matter how nice you are, or how much you tip. I ordered a $50 wedding cake this week, it was super dry. I called to resolve. They offer no refunds, exchanges, or empathy. read more

AMAZING!!! The Cake is Very Moist. If you aren't a fan of actual bananas in your banana pudding you will enjoy their banana pudding. The wafers are soft and the custard flavor is amazing, very little bananas in it. Definitely no box ingredients in either. I was told the owner is from GA and let's say the proof is in the pudding and cake. read more

Hummingbird cake by the slice. And we are talking about a nice, thick, very generous slice of cake. With just the right amount of cake to icing ratio. The cake was moist and blended well with yummy bites of nut and pineapple. The cream cheese icing was thick but not too sweet. A slice sets you back $4.50. I also spied mini cakes for $13 so if you need a small cake for a party I'd suggest you drop by for that or go to town since they also sell their full size regular cakes. I hate to say it but I polished off the entire slice by myself, I didn't manage to save any for N. The girls were really friendly when you walk in. They have like 14 flavors to choose from so just try to not want to get several slices. This trip I used self control and aimed for moderation and only bought one slice. Though since I did devour the slice maybe my moderation didn't fully work. If you are in the area I would definitely recommend this. Second time was still a charm and their hummingbird is just the way I love it! read more

1st time here! 4 stars out of 5: -you can have your cake & eat it too! -nothing special inside re. decor or seating; the cakes are the business' feature -I had the Neopolitan (3-in-1 tasting of their chocolate, strawberry & wedding cakes) which was delish with it's buttery white icing. -long but fast-moving line up (after dinner); felt like an assembly line though P.S. You can burn some of the calories by taking a stroll on the Ronald Kirk Bridge right next door. read more

I had very high hopes for this cake shop considering that this place came highly recommended but unfortunately the cakes at Cake Bar didn't taste homemade nor from scratch. They tasted very processed and industrialized. I was in town visiting so I purchased multiple different slices to try the different flavors. After trying a piece of all of them, I had to throw the slices away in the trash because they not only didn't taste good but they also had a weird consistency. The slices looked pretty from a presentation perspective but the flavor did not match. I cannot recommend this cake place to anyone and I don't plan on returning. read more

I always stop here if I'm close. Sometimes the lines are long, but they move quickly because the sweet ladies taking orders are fast. Know what you want in advance, even though it's hard to decide because they are all delicious! My mom gets the hummingbird because her southern momma used to make it for her when she was a kid. She says it's as good as her momma's. I usually buy 3-4 slices and freeze the leftovers. My faves are the red velvet, chocolate and Italian cream. My sister is crazy for the wedding cake. read more

Having tried a few of the flavors, I think a review is due. The lemon cake is easily one of my (and my partner's) favorite cakes probably ever. I got a small round cake for his birthday and he loved it, and they also included this cute little happy birthday sign for the top. The strawberry cake and the hummingbird cake are also fantastic and are on our favorites list. We've gotten a couple of other slices to try, like the old fashioned chocolate and coconut, but think those cakes were a little dense. Highly recommend letting those sit out to get to room temperature before eating. Overall, a great classic cake joint. Nothing frilly, just awesome cake. read more

I Had ordered a cake for the office and decided to buy some extra slices for household and was not happy. Looks like someone tried the cake and put it in container. I was paying for half ass slices.

Whenever we visit the Trinity Groves area, coming here is always a nice way to finish a visit or a meal. On this visit my family was visiting from Hawaii and we decided on banana pudding and a slice of the Neapolitan cake to share. We found a seat inside (the Gods favored us as there is limited inside seating and although there is outside seating it was hot) and proceeded to dig in. We all agreed that the banana pudding was good, the cake had some mixed reviews. Seems like some layers were better than the others (flavor/moisture/sweetness) however it was still a successful visit. There are various options of cake, so I've said I would go outside the box when I come back and try some things I may not usually pick (key lime cake) in hopes that I may find something new to tickle my fancy. A little pricey, but if you are willing to get dessert at a local restaurant then I suggest you skip it there and give this place a try instead. read more

Cake cake cake cake cake!!! Stop your search cuz you need not look any further for amazing cake! My first introduction was at a friend's birthday party, where one of our friends thankfully brought a deliciously fresh and moist strawberry and yet, not overly sweet cake from the Cake Bar. Upon my first bite, I knew this was the one and I subsequently ordered the same for my birthday. Each of their flavors are equally amazing, so treat yourself to a slice or an entire cake for a special occasion. read more

They introduced a cake vending machine that never works. It's notorious in the neighborhood for just taking people's money and it's taken our money twice. We haven't seen it actually work. You can't see into the cake slots because the vending machine lights don't work so after you spend $6 on a slice, you open the door and there's no cake in there. It's empty! They won't reply to messages or emails to get your refund so you're basically just left being scammed. Terrible customer service. Great Cake but the customer service involving this new vending machine will certainly be their downfall. Sad. read more

How can I NOT give the Cake Bar 5 stars?! Amazing!!! The place is overwhelming at first. You can get whole cakes in different sizes (writing on them for you is free) or you can get one of about 20 different flavors by the slice. The selection is amazing and they are all baked fresh the day that you were getting them. My two favorites here are the lemon cake and also the wedding cake. But no matter what your palate is they have a flavor for you. read more
