Was nearby and was craving something sweet. My husband looked around online and found this place. What a wonderful little gem! It's a small place with a few tables but SO MANY options. We tried almost one of everything including their donuts, baklava, cookies, and flan. The baklava was absolutely wonderful. Could foresee myself getting lots of these for a party. Their cakes are also huge and gorgeous. Will definitely think of them for future parties I will be having. All in all so many options, so many gorgeous food options, and so many tasty options. Will absolutely be returning. Also their service was phenomenal. Plenty of parking as it is in a mini strip mall with lots of parking. read more

I challenge others to find a better selection of baklava in the area. Flavors were all light but distinct for each type. Constructions were spot on and highlighted classic flavors. Only "criticism" may be to suggest experimenting with new flavors - teas tend to pair well, and could create a nostalgia all on their own. *Note, this place is now called Cakey Bakey but the sign still reads Balboa Bakery and is listed as such on Google Maps. Very slow morning when I came in - but it was also very early. There is an entire baklava case, and a case dedicated to some other desserts like Napoleon's, tiramisu, and roulades. Everything is priced per weight. Tiramisu was really just a simple sponge with a light cocoa and coffee flavor. Mascarpone cream is very light and layering is precise and clean. Could have a more soaked texture. Baklava (primary reason for rating and staple of this place) were all delicious and each had great flavoring, balanced in texture and sweetness. Would come back here for the baklava only. read more

This place caught my eye when I was recently going to the International Market. Their storefront name is, Balboa Bakery, so that did throw me off a little because their Yelp name was different when I looked them up on Google. I decided to check them out anyways, and I'm glad I did! The shop is small, but there are 2 display cases with a lot of different goodies and a couple seating area. Right when I entered, I was greeted by a really friendly lady who explained to me that I could mix and match whatever I wanted from one of the cases and it would be $19.99/lb, but I could do half a pound of whatever I wanted. I got a whole bunch of different things to bring home, from almond flower cookies, to pistachio baklava to Turkish delight. The Lady was beyond patient with me as I went through the options offered lol. Everything I got was really delicious! I tried the pistachio baklava right away and it was so flaky and the honey was sweet but they did not overdo it which I appreciated. The cookies had a really good base and were not too sweet. The Turkish delight was, well, delightful lol. While she rang me up, I asked if they were a part of the International Market next door, and they are not. They are their own small business, which I loved and will be back to support soon! read more

My daughter was at the store across from this bakery. So, my son and I saw bakery sign and wanted to go try a new treat. I just wanted to try one thing. The elder lady said "do you have cash", I said no. She said "I can't do that". I get the concept of a minimum purchase. However, I was bummed. I wanted to try a new sweet treat. There were no signs either, stating that. Service 0/5 If I could give this place a no star I would. The elder lady was rude, not professional, dismissive, or helpful whatsoever. If you want new customers that is definitely not a way to gain them. Horrible service and very disappointing that my review isn't based of an actual item from here, because I didn't get the opportunity to try anything. read more

Went there for the second time, not realizing the name has changed. But I was craving some persian pastry and had no choice. Great service, very clean, and nice selection. The only problem is the taste amd texture. They are just not right. There is nothing wrong with them. But if you have been living where you had the pastry before, then you will feel the difference. Cream puffs are great. But they are like cream puffs I leave in the fridge for three days. So does the pirashkis. Napoleon's layers are kinda mixed up. Sholezard taste great and is just right. I hope they try to make it authentic. Having said that, may be they are baking for the customers who prefer what they have. I can say. I just miss a perfect persian bakery in San Diego. read more

First time at this awesome Persian coffee shop/bakery. Very friendly and welcoming customer service. Incredible assortment of sweets. The girl there told me they were not overtly sweet which is exactly how I like patisserie. The eclairs were as good as people commented here on Yelp. My favorite item was the Persian Neapolitan so flaky and with pistachios. My boyfriend and I shared that one, so good. The cream puffs are equally amazing. Super satisfied and now just can't wait until I go one day to have coffee seating there with a friend. Such a pleasant and cute store. read more

I spent hours looking for the perfect bakery to make my 25th birthday cake, and Cakey Bakey was it. The selling point for me was the aesthetic numbers cake. I gave them a call about a month in advance, texted over all of the details/specifications of what I wanted, got confirmation for pickup a couple days before, and picked it up early than I even anticipated. It came out amazing, and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! I did their bestseller napoleon cake and it was so solid! Other options include vanilla and chocolate, which I'm sure are also fantastic. I don't like things that are too sweet, which American cakes tend to be, so I so very much appreciated that this sweetness level was just right. The vanilla cream was also so fluffy yet not overwhelming in flavor at all. I had sent over some requests and ideas for the toppings to match the theme and my overall sweets preference, and she delivered! Everyone loved the cake and I'm so happy with my decision to get it from here. It's located in the plaza off Balboa with consistent signage and is actually under Balboa Bakery or something of the sort instead. Service, again, was excellent. Price was fair, and it served 30 people with leftovers. read more

My first time using this bakery. Wow, I was very impressed. I needed a special carrot cake for my grand daughter's Sweet 16 party. I sent a picture of what she wanted. They knocked it out of the park. Not only was the staff soo nice but the cake was absolutely delicious. I also bought a Cream Puff Tower for my sons birthday the day before. He does not like cake soo I thought this would be a nice option. He loved it. They were really fresh & good. All the staff in the restaurant kept coming to get a cream puff. It was a big hit. I will be coming back in the future. You won a new happy customer! read more

Can't believe I wait this long to stop inside & get a few tasty treats for me. Right before COVID- I changed dental offices & Cakey Bakey is two doors down. I've noticed the pictures on their windows and told myself- "Someday..." Well, I figured after my tooth got pulled out & had to get a temporary- I'm gonna need something soft to nibble on, right? The display case isn't overwhelming & the what's offered is simple. I decided on slices of tiramisu, cherry/ vanilla cake, mocha roll, & pistachio baklava. I hate sitting in traffic- I mean, who doesn't, right? So, with the side of my face numb from Novacaine- I decided to let my mouth soak on a piece of baklava as I'm doing a slow roll in afternoon traffic. Minimal chewing, and it just hit the spot. I'm still enjoying my little treats with morning coffee or even as late night snacks. My whole purchase came to $17 and it was worth every penny. Every piece of cake was moist & soft. read more

Nice location. Lovely store. Friendly people. However, the pound of butter cookies I purchased were not good at all! I specifically asked if the cookies were made with butter. I was assuming they were. I couldn't tell for sure. There might have been a little butter in the recipe, but something less costly was substituted for it and the result was dry tasteless cookies. For $20/lb they should have been excellent. I couldn't eat any more after sampling 4-5 from the box I brought home. I should add that the cookies, as well as all the desserts, looked great. Maybe it's a cultural thing. I just don't know. As I said, the ladies running the small shop were friendly and pleasant. I'm sorry ladies. I very much wanted to like what I bought, read more

I wish they had more coffee and tea options but dessert wise, everything is amazing. I can't wait to break my diet for another delicious treat. I'm glad I discovered this place. It says balboa bakery on top so it was a little hard to find. I didn't notice it until I found it on yelp. Parking is plenty. Service is amazing.

This place is a hidden gem that I can't believe I've been driving by for 6 years now. It's a small and humble looking bakery with a small selection of baked goods but the quality is great and I prefer have a small selection of delicious desserts of a vast selection of ok quality baked goods. I tried their napoleon cakes first and it's perfect. The combination of their flaky layers and the cream is to die for. I love how it's got a good balance where it's not bland or too sweet. It's perfect to have with a cup of tea. I went back recently to also pick up the bollet, mocha cakes, and cream puffs and am not disappointed. Looking forward to many more visits to this location for my dessert fixes. Another thing I wanted to highlight is how nice the bakery owner is. She's always super helpful and even though I arrived a bit before opening, she still welcomed me in and prepared my order. Can't wait to go back for more! read more

This is a review Jose had- When I looked online, The bakery at first glance, shows great cakes and designs. Which made me come in to place my order. The complaint I have, is that those cakes advertised and shown online are not what I experienced. Don't get me wrong, the people were nice, but very unprofessional and not at all organized. I had a few issues with my whole experience. Here is my breakdown: So I came by on Friday, Aug 7th in the morning around 10:30am to place my order. Maryam took my information, ideas and details on what I wanted the cake to look like. I asked her if it would be ready by Monday, Aug 10 at 2pm. Which I imagined it was plenty of time, approximately 4 days in advance. I called to check in on the order and she totally forgot about it, mentioned that she was busy. Honestly I feel if I hadn't called to check on my order, she wouldn't have had the cake ready for me... I cannot believe I had to remind her. Upsettingly enough it wasn't even ready when I stopped by, which was about 2pm, she then asked if I could come by in about 2 hours. Another issue I experienced was she completely forgot to put the main reason I was getting the cake "Happy Birthday Alice" !! The cake also didn't look like anything I asked her to create. I have attached 2 photos. One of what I expected (with different colored flowers and some other little details added) the other what I got! make matters worse she said the image was edible- it was not. She definitely half assed my order. To be honest, the flavor overall on the cake was good. The main reason for my negative review, was that she could not follow the simple instructions and the timing was awful. I did not feel valued customer what so ever. read more

We tried 7 different desserts: 2 different Turkish delights, 2 type of zolbia, baklava, tiramisu, and the almond cake. We didn't like a single item. Truly unheard of.

It looked nothing like the photo we gave her for reference. The top layer of the cake was uneven and unstable. We asked for a white cake with fruit because the mommy to be is allergic to chocolate! The entire cake was lined with chocolate! We didn't have the heart to tell her the day of- but we were embarrassed to bring this cake to my sister's baby shower. It wasnt the tastiest cake, it was bobble-headed, was lined with chocolate, and it looked nothing like what we were expecting. We were going to let it go but we cant! read more

This is a Persian Bakery that I have been going to for many many years. They're located in a small shopping center where nearly each business is Persian (grocery store, florist, restaurant etc). It's a one stop shop for me! They have plenty of parking so it's really convenient to get in and out. Prices at the bakery are based on weight...to give you an idea - I recent;y purchased 4 Rollettes and 1 Slice of Cake and it was about $20....so roughly $4 each which I think is very reasonable! Everything is delicious - you can never go wrong with the Rollettes and if they have the Banana Pistachio Cake - I definitely recommend it! If you don't speak Farsi, it may be a little difficult to communicate depending on who is working but just point to what you want LOL. I love this place, I generally would select them over most places when getting treats! They serve hot tea and have ice cream as well. They accept Cash and Credit for payment and there are a few seats inside and a couple outside if you decide to enjoy your treats there. It's not a problem for me since I always do take-out, but just a heads up that they do not have a restroom for customers available. read more

You can tell he cares. The staff was also welcoming and took the time to give us a rundown of everything being our first time. You owe it to yourself to take a break and enjoy a pastry here.

Tried a mix of savory and sweet: the Curry Pan was good but didn't totally wow me, while the chocolate, strawberry ribbon, and matcha croissants were all really solid -- especially because they weren't overly sweet. The surprise favorite was the caviar bread: salty, fishy, briny topping on crusty bread that somehow just worked SO well. We also split a croque monsieur which was warm, cheesy, and perfect to balance out all the pastries. I wish they had real cutlery (vs only plastic disposables) for dine in customers. Our family shared all these goodies and a plastic knife was no match for some of them. Overall, really good quality pastries and breads, worth the early lineup. I'd definitely come back to try the sandos (served started 11:30)

Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

Also just so everyone is aware they're also liars just to mention & stupid.. she tells us her name is Karen thinking we don't know the owners name lol .. She was at the register at 7:20pm and was extremely rude and dismissive after we placed our order, especially regarding a child's dietary restrictions and health concerns. We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

It is raaare to find bakeries whose desserts are as tasty as their aesthetic, but the treats AND…read moredrinks here truly live up to the vibe. Flour Atelier is a small bakery right next to the hovering Mitsuwa. They carry two refrigerated sections' worth of original treats and pastries, many with Asian flavors such as their ube leche flan and calamansi cheesecake. I'm a gluten free girly nowadays, but when I could eat their desserts I did love their cheesecake: a balance of cream-to-crust is important to me. And those flavors? Standout. Hard to find many other places. They also have tea and coffee, and my husband and I LOVE their hojicha latte, which boasts a nice earthy-to-sweet ratio. If you want a grounded flavor without getting another coffee, try the hojicha latte! The store itself is quite small, selling sweet treats, drinks, and even flowers through a collaboration with a florist. They have about 4 tables outside -- recommended for small parties, unless you come when it's empty with a group. BIG TIP: Bring your mother or mother-in-law here to impress -- that is, if she likes cute, sweet treats and a tea party vibe! My mom always loves coming here, and bringing the whole family, too Keep up the great work Flour Atelier!

There is no indoor seating but there are a few tables out front. It's an interesting concept. Flour meets flowers.

I saved the rest of the pastry for later since I was still full from my cream puffs. I did try a piece and it was perfection! I chugged down my delicious iced drink as we sat outside. My son told me their most popular pastry is a Calamansi cake, which sells out quickly. Would love to try one of those.

The fruit flavors are also made with fresh fruit, which is a plus. We stop by sometimes to pick up a box of 4-6 as gifts for our friends, and it's always a hit. Their crepe cakes are also really tasty and not too sweet. We really like the basque, vanilla, and strawberry flavors. The desserts here are a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and presentation are worth the splurge.

Had a chance to check out Yiko Yiko after hearing lots about it and honestly, I had a feeling that…read moretheir products would be a on the pricier side. Many reviews have noted this, and I would have to agree, especially for the size (crepe cake slices) and/or simple design (two layer naked cakes). We ended up trying a slice of their taro crepe cake. It was tasty - light, smooth, and included real taro - and had alternating layers of cream and taro; however, we were surprised with how small it was in person (vs photos) for $12.50 before tax. This is just below the price for an Extraordinary Desserts cake slice, which is not only bigger and more complex, but also made fresh. We noticed the crepe cake slice we got had that dusting of ice sparkles, indicating it was frozen and defrosting, and additionally, as it defrosted, the more it started leaning. If you haven't tried Yiko Yiko, it's worth still checking out. That said, I think you'll be satisifed after one or two visits.

Lines are always better with a friend and even though we all arrived before opening there was still a healthy line. I was really excited, to finally get to check them out, I saw on their socials that a new chef had taken residency and that they came with some Filipino flair. As a fellow Filipino I definitely wanted to support. I ended up ordering a lumpia roll, ube butter ensaymada, a halo halo tart and a egg sando sandwich along with an iced matcha with honey, with tip my total was $48, which isn't horrible considering these are meant to be higher quality pastries. My girlfriends and I found a table and decided we would share, I shared my egg sando sandwich and the lumpia roll, while they shared their ube butter ensaymada and the turon kouign amann. My matcha, was a horrible, it was a muddy green and really lacked any matcha flavor, my friend didn't like her matcha either and she had the miso caramel matcha. I didn't even finish my matcha and I can really take one down. We joked about how we should have opted for the orange juice instead. Now for the pastries, I was really underwhelmed by them, the ensaymada was just fine, I honestly cannot remember the taste of it, it lacked something. The egg sando sandwich, the filling was plentiful and flavorful BUT the bread was dry, was that potato bread? The texture was off for me and I ended up just scooping out the filling and eating it like that. Where the sando had a good amount of filling the lumpia roll lacked it, it was so sparse I figured it would be more like a sausage roll so I was taken aback by how little there was in it. Flavors were fine, the pastry was buttery but I just wanted a little more. The one pastry we agreed was better than the rest was the turon kouign amann, the crunchy bits of sugar was so reminiscent of turon but the filling, for me was like uncooked banana bread batter, that threw me off entirely. It was better, but not the filling. So overall, I would say it was okay, I guess for the costs it just didn't meet my expectations.
