Such a wonderful experience with Cake Girl! I ordered cupcakes for my daughter's birthday to share with her second-grade class. Since several students have different food allergies, I shared the allergy information from their teacher with Cake Girl. They responded first thing the next morning and took the time to double-check everything, which gave me so much peace of mind. Pickup was easy, everything was ready on time, and the lady who helped me was so nice. I tried a cupcake myself and it was delicious! My favorite moment was at school when the teacher told one little boy, "You can have one too!" His eyes immediately lit up and he looked SO happy. It made me so happy knowing everyone could be included and enjoy the same treat. And most importantly, the second graders loved the cupcakes! Thank you, Cake Girl, for being so thoughtful and accommodating. We'll definitely be back! read more

Cake Girl - Chocolate Sprinkle Cupcake - Bakeries Near Me - Boyle Heights, California

Came here for a sweet treat this morning with my boyfriend. We ordered 2 donuts (strawberry and pumpkin snickerdoodle), but she threw in the chocolate one for free!!! and the last time my boyfriend and I visited, we got a similar order, 2 donuts and a matcha, and she also threw in an extra donut then as well! My mom has been ordering my birthday cakes from Cake Girl since I was 16 due to my allergies, and it's always been a hit! Even family memebers who don't need to eat allergy friendly food say that they couldn't tell the difference with some treats if they weren't told it was allergy friendly! This place is seriously amazing and I always try to support when I can now that I'm old enough to! read more

Delicious vegan pastries. Found this place online and stopped by for a last minute chocolate birthday cake that my lactose intolerant loved ones could enjoy. So yummy! Also got a few coffee cakes to try and they were a hit. The counter staff were so friendly as well. Everything was moist (not too moist) and not at all dry. Worth the price imo. I'll go back sometime for more pastries! Fyi parking can be hard, makes for a 2-person job. read more

I wouldn't come back again. the brownie is cakey but not bad. The cookie sandwich though.... is dry and hard, tastes like cinnamon, and the frosting isn't great either. read more

Cake Girl - Bakeries Near Me - Boyle Heights, California

I am not vegan or gluten free. But my bff is and over the years I have searched high and low for gluten free and vegan cakes that taste good. I have tried sweet laurel which is only vegan and nasty and sweet E's the most disgusting and can only be vegan or gluten free. So I was so happy to find a place that has both so my bff doesn't have to compromise . The way cake girl designed the cake is impressive! I chose a heart shaped cake and she even let me personalize it with my friends puppies. My friend was overjoyed when she saw her beautiful cake. And the best news is I actually ate a piece and it was delicious! It's the first time a vegan gluten free cake tasted like a cake not cardboard. So I will definitely be reordering this every year for my bff. Tip * Order a few weeks in advance. They are busy !!! P.s. they are located inside of a pharmacy if you are trying to find them after parking. read more

Cake Girl - Heart shaped vanilla cake - Bakeries Near Me - Boyle Heights, California

OBSESSED is an understatement. I just discovered Cake Girl Bakery in LA and I can confidently say I have found my new addiction. First of all ...these are VEGAN cupcakes (YAY) and cakes... and you would NEVER know the difference other than they're better than any dairy cupcake I've ever had. The texture? Perfectly moist. The frosting? Creamy, rich. The flavors? Unreal. Every bite tastes like it was made with actual love. Their donuts were beyond my expectations... deliciously dense and very filling. Safe to say I'll be ordering birthday cakes, random Tuesday cupcakes/donuts, and probably anything else they make from here on out. I am officially obsessed. read more

As a GF tourist, I came for the churro donut and got the added pleasure of a hibiscus raspberry gem. I'm happy I went out of my way to find them! I'm adding them to my LA restaurant list read more

This is the perfect bakery for someone with multiple food allergies and it's obvious that the owners go above and beyond to ensure quality and taste are top notch. I purchased a cake and cupcakes for my daughter's 21st birthday. The cake and cupcakes were very moist, but I prefer my frosting a little more sweet. The vanilla cupcake was the star of the show and many guests enjoyed it. When I went to pick up my order, the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, this is a great spot and I hope they continue to enjoy success. read more

Cake Girl - Don't mind the dents in the cake. I did it when I removed it from the box. - Bakeries Near Me - Boyle Heights, California

I recently came back to Cake Girl and I'm excited to say that after all these years of me frequenting their establishment, they still amazing me with their amazing selection of vegan treats and with their excellent hospitality that makes me feel apart of the Cake Girl family. My girlfriend and I are vegan and she has a major sweet tooth but unfortunately she has Celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. So you can imagine her excitement when I took her to Cake Girl for the first time! They are 100% vegan, gluten free, and to top it off they are allergen friendly! We recently came in to pick up some treats for us and was greeted by the owner Amy and her staff, Oscar and Liz. They are all so amazing and are so friendly and accommodating. We needed a cake for my birthday and they were able to give us the most amazing birthday cake ever! I got my favorite flavor, the Macha Cake with strawberry frosting! We also took some cupcakes for us to enjoy at home. I wanted to write this review to show my gratitude to Cake Girl and their staff for making the perfect cake for my special day. I proposed to my girlfriend recently and we are excited to have Cake Girl making our wedding cake to make our special day that much sweeter!‍ read more

Cake Girl - Try the Hostess Cupcake! - Bakeries Near Me - Boyle Heights, California

Truly amazing desserts! Cake Girl is the only allergy-friendly dessert spot where my grandson can safely eat, which means the world to our family. Every single time we visit LA, we make it an absolute priority to stop by and load up on treats--especially the Chocolate and Churros donuts, which are always a massive hit! The fact that they are both safe and incredibly delicious is a rare find. Thank you for making such wonderful sweets that everyone can enjoy! read more

The flavors and textures are amazing! You will enjoy everything you try I cannot recommend this place enough!!

Do not hesitate! Book your order with Cake Girl- you will not regret it! My daughter has egg allergies, I usually bake cakes at home to be safe. But for her 3rd birthday we decided to order one instead. So happy and thankful this bakery exists! Amy is AMAZING! Her customer service is top notch and the ordering/pickup process was effortless. We decided to stop by prior to purchase a few different cupcake flavors. They were ALL absolutely delicious but we loved the strawberry churro flavor the best. I submitted my cake order online (I was able to include inspo pics and provide specific cake decor I had ordered on Etsy). Amy immediately responded back to my online order and answered all of my questions. I was able to easily purchase online and pick up day prior to my daughter's birthday party. The birthday cake was absolutely beautiful (it looked exactly like the inspo pics I had provided), it was moist and delicious! It's everything we asked for and more. The birthday girl and guests enjoyed every bite of it. Thank you again for being a huge part of her special day. I look forward to ordering from you in the future! read more

Cake Girl - cake order, 10" strawberry churro inspired cake (2 layers of cinnamon cake, strawberry jam filling with a vanilla frosting finish). - Bakeries Near Me - Boyle Heights, California

Cake Girl in Boyle Heights is officially on my go-to list. I stopped in and grabbed a Gansito inspired cupcake, vanilla sprinkle cupcake, matcha strawberry cupcake, chocolate sprinkle cupcake, a Hostess inspired cupcake, and a couple of doughnuts -- basically one of everything that caught my eye. I just finished the Gansito cupcake and it's incredible. Whoever's behind these flavors clearly gets it. That nostalgic Mexican pastry flavor translated into a cupcake perfectly...dreamy. What really makes this place special for me is that everything is gluten-free and dairy-free, which means my little niece can enjoy ALL the treats from here. Having a local bakery this good AND this thoughtful about dietary needs is rare, and I'm so glad it's near me. Can't wait to work through the rest of the box. Highly recommend if you're in Boyle Heights or willing to make the trip. read more

Came here to pick up desserts for an event I was going to. It was such a hit! I came here via car on a Saturday afternoon and parked on the street around the corner next to a church. The bakery was inside a convenience store in the last aisle - follow the signs. Service was great. So thankful this place exists because my partner is allergic to milk protein so it was nice to find a vegan dessert place that actually makes appetizing desserts! We tried the churro cake, magpie cookie, and hibiscus donut. We loved all of them except the hibiscus donut because we weren't a fan of desserts that weren't sweet. All of my friends like them meaning there weren't too sweet. We definitely come here again. read more

The best cupcakes in L.A.! Absolutely delicious + flavors you won't find anywhere else. In addition, the frosting wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, which I love. It was a breeze to to place my order and communication was very easy and efficient. Thank you, we will be back! read more

I love a delicious cupcake, but I admit I was skeptical of the gluten-free aspect. I've had many a gluten-free baked good and unfortunately some of them are just too dry and crumbly. Cake Girl, however, nails it. Their cupcakes are truly divine. And they're vegan??? Even better. I will travel for a great cupcake and this is it. Don't miss out! read more

Holy Crack Cupcakes! These are the most addictive, heavenly, gourmet cupcakes in Los Angeles right now, and I would know! Ever since sprinkles went out of business, I've tried and failed to find a decent replacement . I've tried every single cupcake place in LA! These blow all the others out of the water. My main issue with the others is that the icing didn't taste like it had butter in it but these taste like butter! I then found out they're vegan! I had to call the store to verify because the icing is that good. It's soft but stands up, it's not too sweet, it tastes homemade but elevated with gourmand flavors like lavender iced lemon curd filled, rosewater, hibiscus, churro filled with homemade strawberry jam and topped with buttercream. They also have amazing iced cake donuts. I am in love and will def bring these to any celebration or if i'm just craving a cupcake. read more

First found this place tucked into a local convenience store on the corner in Boyle Heights, many years ago. I loved her donuts & pastries and that everything is vegan, gluten-free, wheat-free, egg-free, dairy-free, soy-free, peanut-free, nut-free (except coconut). They actually taste great. After leaving LA a few years back, I was sad to see that so many Vegan Businesses had shut down post COVID; that was a very difficult time for these places to survive. Luckily, and with perseverance, this wonderful shop survived. We decided to visit and share the goodness with our toddler. They have more of a selection now, but overall, is the same place. Parking on the street is all paid, but I always find a spot. When I was selecting our number of goodies I recognized the owner, "Cake Girl", and apologize for not recalling her name. We picked out 6 donuts (Churro, Strawberry Sprinkle, Matcha, and Ube Coconut), and a couple of everything donuts (made with the leftovers rolled into a big ball). Each and every one was delicious! If you haven't been here, don't let the Vegan/Gluten Free aspect scare you...they're all delicious and not dry. Come visit this place in the back of the bodega, and tell all your friends. #SupportLA ...especially during these times. read more

Cake Girl - Ube Coconut Donuts in the Front - Bakeries Near Me - Boyle Heights, California

Since my girlfriend is currently avoiding both gluten and dairy, I was looking for a delicious chocolate cake for her birthday that wouldn't resemble a rock or require more than a week's advance notice to order. Cake Girl to the rescue! Ordering by and paying over the phone was easy, pick-up in their charming 50's style pharmacy was a breeze (street parking right out front), and I grabbed some candles while I was there. They even provided me with a business card verifying the allergens they avoid using, which allowed me to store the cake in the kitchen of the gluten-free restaurant we were having her dinner at. Oh, and the cake was a hit! read more

In the heart of East LA/Boyle Heights is this hidden gem. I bought the day old goodies box for a birthday celebration at work and it was the best! The donuts and cupcakes were delicious and all staff loved them - vegan and GF for the win. This spot is located inside a store - so be on the lookout. It's a cute, small space....but when you walk in the entire place has a delicious sweet smell thanks to this bakery. PS...the vegan horchata WAAAAATT - I didnt know what I was missing all my life. Honestly I'd go back just for that. The staff were friendly and so professional. I'll be back. read more

What a hidden gem. Tucked inside a pharmacy, it's easy to miss but absolutely worth the hunt. Everything is completely vegan and gluten free, and you would never even guess. I can't begin to describe how delicious everything is here. The hibiscus donut, the churro donut, the brownie, the cream filled donut--every single item is incredible. Cute space and friendly people!

I love their lavender donuts the best. I also like the Matcha ones or the churro style . And of course, I order nothing but gluten-free. Throughout the years, their baking gets better and better.

Cake girl is located inside a community pharmacy. The whole pharmacy smells so good from all the pastries. I bought the double chocolate cupcake, ube cupcake , and vanilla sprinkle donut. The chocolate cupcake was moist and delicious! The vanilla donut was also moist and delicious. The only downside of the 3 that I bought was the ube frosting, it was bitter from the food coloring. Otherwise all delicious. Heads up it is a bit pricey. I shall be going back for the coffee cake. read more

I'm so torn between telling everybody to grab at least 3 other people and please go buy stuff from Cake Girl, and telling nobody to ruin this marvelous lil gem. Listen, cut all the bs, the cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cookie sandwiches, and more are just plain bomb. They also have the added benefits of being way frickin healthier than anywhere else, aka eat more lol So you gotta go inside the pharmacy on the corner across from the biggest gang in la, then go left and you will see this cute lil diner counter and a whole vibe. My homie took me here once and I've been back on my own twice so some of the things I've gotten are: 1. Pizza roll (5/5) - gooey cheez yes, crisp crust yes, soft inside yes 2. Chocolate cupcake (5/5) - like a hostess cupcake which were my absolute favorite before I started eating better haha amaze 3. Chocolate chip cookiewich (4/5) - cookies were amaze wit the perfect crumble softness and the filling was mad smooth. For me personally, it was too sweet, especially after I just hoovered the chocolate cupcake lol if I slowed down, a glass of oatmilk or something prolly woulda been perfect 4. Cinnamon crunch coffee cake (5/5) - ok so we have all had coffee cake, and the magic with this so the top layer. I assumed it would be softer but it's actually firm so there's crunch and the icing with the streusel remain divine and provide a contrast to the soft fluffy coffee cake part As far as I could tell, it's street parking to get here. And worth it, just be careful of them folks across the street read more

Wowow!! Best everyday vegan (dairy free) small bakery for snacks!! My new fav! $4.50 cupcakes, $1-$3 donuts, $1.50 cookies and more. Gluten, wheat, egg, nut, soy and dairy free!! This place makes me realize I don't ever have to put up with the norm of crappy vegan desserts anymore. Located inside, left side of what looks like the local corner convenience store. Difficult to find street parking on a Sunday afternoon. I'm sure there are ppl who quickly run in to grab to-go items while emergency parking at the red street curbs right in front. - 1 cookie $1.50: I love soft textured cookies!! - Hostess Cupcake $4.50: Was like marshmallow melts. The hard chocolate cap was fun. - Hibiscus Lemon Donut $3.00: Really can taste the hibiscus and lemon flavor vs just coloring and sugar. Soft almost like a Twinkie, or cake Sponage. - $1 Day Old Donut $1.00: Wow! I really need to find out what day or time they start selling these to load up!! I got the strawberry and really felt like they used a lot of real strawberries in this top coat. I feel I have reasonably low expectations when it comes to trying new vegan dessert places due to years of the chase. Looking through the showcase, I just assumed everything could be hard, dry and probably just sugar on top of sugar taste or just tasteless. And assume the day old items to just be extremely stale. To my surprise, each item was full of flavor or had perfectly soft texture!!! It felt like I was a normal kid again, able to eat normal everyday tasty desserts like everyone else. Anyone who comes across a big lifestyle change like developing a severe allergy, would really appreciate this place. I've been investing too many stars and money in supporting the wrong bakers....fyi, dairy ingesting customers have options and don't have to compromise or support someone's growing skills in these ways. But because there is a lack of decent vegan desserts, many of us don't even realize what we've been compromising for so long....due to the insufficient supply of decent and affordable everyday vegan desserts. Skip whole foods, skip trader Joe's, skip sprouts and anymore commercialized vegan dessert options. This place is it! I only went toward the dark side of commercialized desserts due to lack of easy, affordable and even decently tasty options. If I'm near Boyle Heights, I don't ever have to compromise again!! Financially and in taste. read more
