My first experience with Cake Thieves was about ten years ago - Mila Coffee sold their donuts and I remember craving that fruity pebbles donut for ages. They matched perfectly with Mila's Coffee. Much to my surprise, Cake Thieves had a brick and mortar bakery over on the east side of the city! I dropped by to check it out and I was very pleased to see a robust vegan menu. Vegan bakeries are few and far in between, and as someone who is NOT vegan, but appreciates the vegan culinary arts, I was very excited to see a full pastry case. I ordered the cortado, butterfly pea flower latte, a jalapeño cheese kolache, and a creme brûlée donut. The cortado was more of a cappuccino in terms of size/volume but I still enjoyed it. The butterfly pea flower latte had vanilla in it, and the oat milk yielded a delightfully creamy drink that I would absolutely make the drive for again. The kolache was good. The croissant dough was buttery and flakey (amazing what vegan butter can do nowadays!), but the sausage was missing that decisive "snap" texture when you bite into it. Oh well, it was still a very good breakfast treat. I took the donut home and had it a few hours later. I loved how crispy/crunchy the bruleed/caramelized top was! The donut itself was fluffy and the filling was nice and sweet. The staff? Amazing. Shout out to Eli (spelling?) for making the entire experience just truly magnificent. read more

Ive been here a handful of times and each time I am greeted by a warm and welcoming employee (Alijes, I'm not sure how to spell the name) I've tried many different pastries and desserts and I keep coming back for the donuts!! So far, my favorite flavor is the Lavender Lime. I tried the Keylime Cheesecake, I wasn't a fan--also wasn't expecting it for cost $15 for the slice!! But the donuts are my personal favorite. They have a great selection of vegan pastries and desserts. This is a great place for someone who is dairy free or vegan. They have plenty of indoor seating--though I always opt to take my items to-go. I crave the donuts, so I will continue coming back for them! read more

Love this bakery. Staff was friendly and personable. Pastry and Latte was some of the best I have had. Will become a regular at Cake Thieves Bakery. read more

I have been planning on visiting this bakery for months, due to it being walking distance from the hotel I booked downtown. I almost didn't go because my energy was shot but I am so glad I pushed thru as this was such a treat! I love, love, love bakeries & I have been on the hunt to find new ones. To find a vegan one is like finding the pot of gold at the end. The space was filled with a handful of tables & chairs, & their well crafted landscape & flowers outside was a wonderful touch (I bet many of those attract hummingbirds). The glass case was full of playful colors, crispy golden crusts, glistening glazes, & swirls of sweetness. I loved that they had seasonal fall treats like pumpkin muffins & cinnamon rolls. Life is great when your worry for the day is having a hard time choosing! I got the vanilla bean glazed donut & the raspberry pistachio donut. Both were heavenly, with the dough like clouds, pull apart melt in your mouth. The vanilla bean was delicately rich, not sure how they pulled that off, and the raspberry frosting was perfection. I really had to fight the temptation to get more to go but now I am regretting it (luckily I live only 30 min away :)) For drink I had the pumpkin pie spice latte & I really enjoyed that! Perfect amount of sweet & spice, nothing artificial tasting, just wish it was more creamier. The young lady that took my ordered & worked so hard on her own to also make all the drinks was super sweet & attentive. I will be coming back & I cannot wait! read more

We are a small local business that pays for advertisement, got hired on for a service of theirs after a big box company gave them the run around and provided no customer service and "worse experience ever". We show up resolve and repair their issue with no background to the problem. They denied paying and have ignored every attempt at paying their service bill although their issues are resolved. Small local business just trying to survive and provide for their family gets shafted by another local business that started from small too.. So not advise promoting to contributing to a business that doesn't even care about their local community. read more

HOLY COW! This vegan bakery is AMAZING! I am in awe of the delicious treats they have created, and all of them being vegan! This is a dairy free girl's dream bakery. I ordered three items even though I only came for the tres leches. Those three things were: a crème brûlée donut, a slice of mango cheesecake and the tres lèche cake. All three were a 10/10. I don't know how they made such delicious treats, but they did. This place was busy and for a good reason. The prices were a little high for the cheesecake and tree leches, but dairy free/vegan alternatives are on the pricier side, so I can understand some of the prices. Everything inside looked delicious, from the breakfast tacos to the scones and donuts to the cold case items. I will be returning for future sweet treats :) They keep the inside clean and there is free parking outside. You can even watch some of the prep work taking place through the glass windows. Cake Thieves is AMAZING and you should definitely treat yourself to some sweets. read more

I've been a Cake Thieves fan since they supplied their donuts for The Fairview years and years ago. They have been consistently amazing all of these years! I get so happy seeing their pop pastries in coffee shops around town and other offerings. I finally got to come back to their brick and mortar and I just wanted to leave a review! Their strawberry pop pastry was yummy as always but my husband got their crème brûlée donut and that was AMAZING! I was honestly a little mad at myself for not getting one for just myself lol. Their donuts have always been great but that one in particular was crazy good. Cake Thieves forever!! read more

Absolutely love this place! It's the only vegan bakery in town, and it's such a gem. The staff and owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and I love that it's dog-friendly too! Everything I've tried has been delicious, but the London Fog scone is the one I keep coming back for. Definitely recommend visiting! read more

I remember cake thieves from the old vegan market days - the line was always so long and they always sold out! A testament to their yummy vegan donuts! They also make vegan cakes! I had one custom ordered for my 10th anniversary. It was beautiful. read more

All I can say is if you've not been by Cake Thieves Bakery by now you are doing your tastebuds & belly a serious injustice! And she on you! I've been coming here since shortly after they opened. (Since I had purple hair. ) I tried her lavender scones, & I was hooked. I've tried so many of her goodies since then over the years, but I always come back for the scones. Being a baker myself I'm harsh on bakeries. They have not ever, not one time, disappointed my taste buds. The fact that they are vegan I really questioned whether I would like the food. The first bite, I questioned why I ever ate any other. Her baked goods are not only fresh & perfectly baked, but they aren't ever dry or hard. I'll be honest, being single I can't always eat everything I but the first day. Sometimes what I purchase will wait a day or three!!! In the fridge for me to consume it. I pop it in the microwave or oven for a bit & it's still wonderfully good. I haven't ever been disappointed with the taste or quality of the product. But, right out od the store is best. And the scones rarely make it past the corner. #iykyk That lemon blueberry scone made it to IH35 before it was devoured! It was baked to perfection. Moist, the blueberries were plump & the lemon taste was spot on. The first bite of the orange cranberry scone was also perfect. You can taste the orange without it being over powering & the cranberries are sprinkled throughout with perfection. With the scones I ate back in London & Wales I always wanted butter with Cake Thieves scones no time! I just eat them because they are perfect. I truly cannot stop recommending this bakery to everyone I talk to & have for years. The muffins are baked amazingly, the cookies are so good they'll leave you wanting more, and those pop tart like pastries - those are my other go to goodies!!!! Try them all!!!! The bakery is a great place to go in, sit down have a cup of their delicious coffee & just enjoy the ambiance. Enjoy! read more

Get the kolaches -- they're hands down the best and clearly a crowd favorite! Make sure to get there early because they do sell out, and trust me, you don't want to miss out. Their pop tarts are also great. I'm a big fan of the mixed berry flavor, but honestly, it's all about the kolaches, don't sleep on this spot! read more

After picking up some treats from Cake Thieves; I had to hop on and share how impressed I was with the quality of their baked goods.

As if that wasn't enough; the service was spectacular! Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

Friendly staff, great iced and drip coffee and yummy bakery. Definitely a must try when you're in San Antonio.

Cake Thieves! I don't know if they're stealing cake, but they've stolen my heart. I swung by on my way home one morning and was amazed at all the non cake options. Pie tarts, kolaches, scones, muffins, donuts, pound cake, and on... oh my! I eventually decided on a sampling of a homer donut (simple pink frosting and sprinkles), blueberry streusel muffin, and pineapple peach pie tart to bring home. I don't think prices for pastries are posted, but it's been about $5/treat. Everything was delicious! I came back the next morning with a friend to co-work and Sam was so nice! She checked in on us and made sure we had coffee/tea as needed. It was a warm and welcoming place to be, and judging by the friendly chatter, a lot of people coming in were regulars. Since then I've been back for more treats to go! Some of my favorites have been the pineapple peach tart, blueberry muffin, lemon scone - so tender and not dry at all!, The jalapeno cheddar kolache was also incredible - they use the same dough as their croissant and it is soo good! Oh yeah, and it's all vegan! Good for the planet and good for the soul. read more

I have not written a review in years for personal reasons, yet in kind I cannot keep myself from bragging about Cake Thieves; The "Bright Magic" of San Antonio's Bakeries, including Coffee & Tea. Their doughnuts have stood out for years putting others respectfully on notice, their Homer representing the fluffiest of all confections, and their seasonal creations warming your heart and soul throughout your day. Be sure to tip well, as the service from the back of the house to the front will leave you looking forward to returning again and again. Moreover, the decor and ambience will welcome you with delight and dazzle you with each holiday and season, believing in true magic from entrance to order to each sweet morsel to a comforting salutation, "have a nice day". Equally healthy, you can look forward to a few delicious breakfast tacos if you're fast enough, or if you're lucky Gluten-Free baseRice Crispy Treats. read more

When they asked me how my day was going and I was honest (but vague), they commiserated! Such nice people. Great vibes here. I had the strawberry matcha (good) and the lime coconut cake (phenomenal). When I told the staff I was on my way to deliver something to someone in need, they gave me a free donut for that person! read more

It wasn't 100% horrible, but I was a bit frustrated that I didn't know it was vegan until I bit into one of their "kolaches" and the "meat" tasted really weird and not good at all. I felt pretty sick at my stomach a bit later and had a suspicion something was off. Then I realized it was vegan meat I don't know what chemicals they put in this fake stuff, but it really made me feel nauseous. Never making that mistake again... The place looks cute, but I really wish they warned people that they don't use real meat... read more

Great local bake shop. They offer vegan and vegetarian pastries and are packed with a rich flavor. The blueberry pop tart was a great take on a nostalgic pastry. Of course you can trust everything In this and expect is to be that much better. read more

Amazing donuts every time. Creative flavors and classics. Always delicious! The people are always friendly too.

I believe donuts don't have much upside in creative in flavor. My experience with donutshops is that most places do to much on the presentation rather then focusing on the taste. Other places focus on the taste and do nothing for the presentation. This place has a perfect balance on presentation and tastes. The donuts look as good as they taste. The bread falls between a soft pretzel and a common donut making this place really stand out in the donut game. I was surprised how much this reminded me of carnival food in the best way. I had the classic glazed and the cinnamon sugar donut. It's a place I might stop by before heading to a UTSA game with a coffee. I think this is a 4.5. will be giving it a 5 due the the texture of the donuts being something that I want all donuts to be in the world. read more

I would not recommend trying this place if you're using the "Too Good To Go" app! Where I work, I often place large orders for pastries for the entire staff, so I like to try a place before I give them that much business. Using the Too Good To Go app allows me to vet the places ahead of time. I've tried a couple times to go here, but literally upon my arrival at the designated time 4pm, they immediately cancel the order. So, I guess the "thieves" in the name is appropriate. They've stolen time and effort. Even when I mentioned the inconvenience to the frontline worker, the person's response was basically a shoulder shrug as if to say "That's your problem!" I will definitely take my business and my company's business elsewhere. If you value courtesy and respect... this is probably not the place for you. Just an FYI read more

Vegan or not, you have to go here and try the food. Like today! Go!! My wife and I have cut most animal protein out of our diet, but our kids still eat meat. They can't tell the difference. It's all delicious. I especially like the lemon scones and kolaches. The lady at the register laughs everything I go in and say "This is vegan too?!?" I just wish they delivered to the north side. Everywhere is nice and the restaurant is clean. Only thing to warn you of is they don't use a microwave and just a toaster over. If you want a warm kolache it take a little bit. It feels like forever but only because you know the food will be on point. read more

This place used to be decent but the last 2 visits have been terrible. First, there were ants in the box they gave me with my order. Dry donuts, dry and hard pineapple upside down cake and dry and tastless tres leches cake. Chai tea that was awful too. Way overpriced and low quality. Never again. read more

Cake Thieves is tucked in a small shopping center directly next to black lab brewery. Since they are only open until 4pm, parking shouldn't be an issue. I've had a variety of different pastries from here and all have been great. Specifically, I've had a few of their Poptarts, banana donuts & lemon fog scone. They have something for everyone so I'm sure you can find something you'll enjoy. Each visit I've always felt very welcomed by their staff, which provides a great customer-centric environment. Also, they have offered great recommendations to me when I can't decide what to order. I usually take my pastries to go but I noticed there are a few tables inside in case you want to enjoy your food at this establishment. I'll definitely be back to try something different. Peace. read more

My wife really wanted to come to this bakery because of their vegan and vegetarian options. We were driving by the area so we stopped by here recently. We had two vegan kolaches which were good but lacked the savoriness I desire from this. The vegan cookies and cream donut was outstanding. They had a lot more items that I would like to try in the future. I would recommend this bakery for anyone who enjoys vegan treats. read more

On Saturday, September 17, 2022, at approximately 1230 hours Nat D. and I, Dante G., responded to Cake Thieves located at 1602 East Houston Street Suite 104 which is in the jurisdiction of the city of San Antonio, county of Travis, and state of Texas, in reference to a larceny. Upon arrival, we entered the business through the outward opening double door located at the B-A Corner of the business. The business shares the A Side with the neighboring financial institution. We were immediately enthusiastically greeted by a young female with blue hair and clad in a white t-shirt, denim pants, and glasses, possibly known as Sam. She faves us a few moments to view their wares, all of which looked ridiculously delicious. We settled on two vanilla iced doughnuts, one dirty chai donut, and an apple spice pop pastry. To drink we went with an Americano and a rooibus latte. They only offer oat and almond milk due to being a vegan bakery. We were promised we wouldn't notice a difference between vegan baked goods and the things I normally consume. Do not let the "V" Word scare you because no truer words have been spoken. The doughnuts were amazing. Being baked, they were fluffy like a fried donut, but that didn't stop them from being beyond amazing. The pop pastry, though, was asounding. Basically, as good as the pastries looked, they tasted much better. The barista, possibly Jan, took care of the drinks, which were equally tasty. We ate to contentment as we watched Kia cut fresh apples for whatever creations were coming next. It was confirmed that a larceny has been occuring, hunger being stolen from every person who enters. It is recommended continued observation be conducted, maybe twice a day. BEWARE OF CORNELIUS THE TURTLE. Very aggressive. End of Report. read more

First time at the brick and mortar location. I've had Cake Thieves at local coffee houses. Got there at 7:50am and they were already running low ok some items. Had the Jalapeño kolache as well as a regular sausage kolache. We took the last two. As well as a chocolate salted pop tart. It was reminiscent of a Bavarian crème pie. The food was yummy but it was $17 for two kolaches and a pop tart. read more

In fact, the kindest barista on the planet who used to work at the coffee shop down the street from me in Austin now works at Cake Thieves. What a nice surprise. Wish they had decaf because I'm an old, yet baby, sensitive person who's a major dud on caffeine in the afternoons. But I understand the commitment to the caf. read more

SPECTACULAR BAKERY! This beautiful cake is a true work of art. We had a dinner party in celebration of an important birthday on the super moon partial eclipse. I did not ask for certain flavors but asked Sam to create from the things my sister liked. Not only a true show stopper, this cake was the best tasting cake in years. It was very much like a Renoir painting that changes in the different lights. The icing had star dust which reflected off the cake differently as day became night. This was magical. The cake was coconut with milk and cream, filled with strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. The crumb was tender and tasty. The Icing was perfect, not too sweet or thick. Sam and her team are the very best bakers in San Antonio and the Hill Country. I drove 97 miles to get this cake. My guests ate every morsel and some were still talking about the next morning! Do you need a great party conversation piece? This could be it! Sam definitely has the ability to make your occasion a very special one. read more

Great service, delicious treats, yummy tacos!! Everything is vegan and fantastic. I'm a weekend regular and have never had a bad experience.

Unbelievable!! I ordered an end of the day goodie bag (Too Good To Go). Location only has a 10 minute window available, drove across town, was not even 10 minutes late, but upon arrival employees were locking up the door and carrying out in their hands what appears to been my goodies? Asked for the owners number, and called her (Sam), who not only, did not offer any type of compensation or anything, but was quite unprofessional and had a could care less attitude, then just hung up on me. This is a prepaid type of deal, so at least they got the "thieves" part of their name, right. read more

Had the strawberry pop tart, cinnamon roll, three different types of donuts and a latte. None of us ate more than one or two bites of any of them. Not even my little kids would eat the donuts. Overall very disappointing. read more
