Stale custard cream puffs
Claribel V.

I've been to Candlelight Bakery a few times over the years and have always enjoyed their tres leches cake; it's usually pretty good. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was a completely different experience and honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. I stopped by one morning because I was craving a ham and cheese croissant. Yelp showed this bakery in my search results, so I decided to swing by. When I got there, they didn't have any croissants -- just cakes, cookies, and a few sweet pastries. That was fine, but what really turned me off was the service. There were a few people waiting for cake pre-orders. One of the cash registers didn't have a line, so I stood there for a bit, but no one acknowledged me. I eventually moved to the other line and waited my turn. When I got to the front, the cashier asked if I had a pre-order. I said no, I just wanted to grab a few cookies. Instead of helping me, she told me to hold on and went straight to the person behind me to ask if they had a pre-order -- and then asked, in a rude tone, "Who was here first?" as if I had cut the line. Thankfully, the person behind me spoke up and said I was there first. I bought a few custard cream puffs and sugar elephant cookies, but sadly, they weren't worth it. The cream puffs tasted stale and the cookies tasted store-bought. After this experience, I don't think I'll be coming back.

Not much of a selection... stopped in to grab some cookies. The bakery has a great reputation for their cakes and we were in the area so we stopped in! There weren't a lot of cookies to choose from.. we grabbed several and they were all mediocre.. really wanted to love this place :( review is based simply on cookies. The staff was friendly tho!

My wife ordered this cake for my daughter's birthday. It was a solid option. Cake was moist and fresh and the frosting wasn't overbearing or overly sweet. I want to try their tres leches next, see if they can get to 5 stars.

Choco Flan
Dexter B.

Sent my sister inside to get some cake for my mom's bday two days ago. Can't speak on the service because I didn't go inside but it was quick and she came out with this Choco flan which I believe was only like $20-$30. It was pretty good, but I'm Filipino and the flan obviously tasted different because it's Mexican flan and not as sweet with a slight texture change. It was aesthetically pleasing to look at too.

I ordered a half a sheet, chocolate cake with strawberries   inside.

We ordered a cake from my favorite spot, been coming here for over seven years and they never disappoint. Whatever design I give them for the theme always looks better than they idea, not to mention the cake always tastes great, everyone always wants to know where I order my cakes from. Even though I moved to Moreno Valley this is still my spot. Thank you again Candlelight bakery for always having the best tasting and the best looking cakes

Chocolate fudge
Virginia S.

Where do I start off by saying that this bakery has been my go to ever since I met my mother-in-law she put me on it is local to us and the staff is always very friendly and there is multiple options and if you need something to grab and go they always have a couple cakes that are ready and they just add a birthday topper for you if you need it or whatever the occasion may be for you. I've tried multiple of their cake flavors and I love them all. They're never dry and their frosting isn't too sweet which lets you enjoy the cake. Within the flavors, I've tried has been red velvet chocolate three milks, Choco flan, simple vanilla. And they have plenty of other treats that you can also buy like some yummy cannoli or macaroons. They also do custom cakes and personally I have never ordered a custom one, but my mother-in-law has and they always have them at the time she arranged to pick them up and they always do a great job. Pricing is reasonable in my opinion compared to other bakeries.

They were friendly, bakery was basic, no frills. This review is strictly for the cookies. We were looking for a local bakery to try some fresh cookies. These cookies left much to be desired. We have this bakery a try because we had heard good reviews about their cakes. The only good cookie was the apricot thumbprint cookie. The rest of the cookies were completely tasteless.

Napoleon Cake
Nikki B.

My darling co-workers brought me a cake and some thumbprint cookies from here. The cookies were tender, buttery, & very tasty. The Napoleon Cake was pretty & delicious. The base was a moist vanilla cake and the top was a slightly crispy mille-feuille topped with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, sliced peaches, & pineapple. It was light and not too sweet. My co-workers and I enjoyed these yummy treats. If I'm in the area, I'd like to try their other goodies.

Hate the writing. No effort just dull.

Their flan, mil hojas, and chocolate ganache cakes are great, but I would not recommend this place for sheet cake orders. Perhaps it was my fault for not being specific enough, but I chose this place specifically because this location is considered an artistic bakery, or at least I thought so. The girl on the phone said the writing on the cake is up to their standards, and that they can't write any larger than what is displayed on the photo. I paid $110 for this half sheet cake only for it to look like this and the cake itself had more cream than actual cake. I was left really disappointed.

Ordered my baby shower cake and gender reveal cake here! Sooo good! I'll be ordering another cake for the holidays!

Horchata cupcake
Martin N.

candlelight bakery is the spot for birthday cakes and cupcakes. I get this all chocolate cake that my family loves and we try to get on every birthday. They have this Horchata cupcake to die for service is excellent. Very clean establishment highly recommend this spot. They also do custom cakes, wedding cakes and they have so much other things to choose from as in desserts and pastries. Check them out won't be disappointed.

Chocolate ganache cake
Cayley D.

My fiance got a chocolate ganache cake as a birthday gift from his sister. It's been in the fridge for a day and we got to trying it today. Id rank it as the best cake I've ever had. It was moist and the perfect amount of chocolatey but not too sweet. The whipped cream on top was delicious too. Can't pick a favorite part of the cake because I loved every part of it. Even the strawberry on top was tasty and fresh.

Vanilla cake, with half strawberry and half peach filling. Almonds on the sides, 10/10 recommend. Very airy spongy cake not too heavy.
Laina O.

Came here for the first time on 12/14 to buy a cake for my sister and I. The customer service here was a 10000/10 from the moment I walked in. The workers were so friendly and nice! I let them know it was my first time here and had called ahead of time to see what cakes they had available for a same day pickup. Luckily I got exactly what I wanted. A classic vanilla with half strawberry and half peach filling. It was delicious!!! Everyone loved it. A sweet lady let my nephew and I sample the tres leches fruity pebbles they had and that was so bomb! I will definitely be back next year, thank you for the amazing experience and delicious cake.

Mexican Chocolate Cheesecake when? It's been over 5 years since you've had it and nothing comes close to equaling it's decadence. Please bring it back - it's one of the few things that brought joy into my life. :(

Do they have gluten free cakes?

Is there cake tasting when placing an order?

You know what, I have not done any cake tasting... I only buy there bake goods... You should ask them ...

Are they open during Coronavirus quarantine?

No, they aren't. :( All of their locations have been closed "until further notice" as of March 27, 2020. Check them out on IG @candlelightbakery for updates. Be well.

Does anyone know their website? It seems like the one listed candlelightbakery.net is no longer operational.

That's a good one Sorry but I don't

I just really want to know why they even have a phone when they don't pick up? I called NINE times. Picture attached

Yes, they have one phone line but are an extremely busy bakery. They do not do consultations or orders over the phone, so if that's what you're looking for, you will have to stop by.

Do they use frozen/ready made whipped cream?

How much for 1 dz cupcakes?

I just ordered their horchata cupcakes a few weeks ago and it was $2.00 per cupcake, so $24.00 a dozen.

I am looking for a gluten free cake. Does anyone know if they bake gluten free cakes?

Can anyone rate their 'Tres Leches'? 1-5 scale, 5 = Best

Definitely a 5! I usually don't like tres leches because everywhere else I had it is too soggy. It's perfect here and their cakes are always fresh. I'm sure you'll love it! :)

Do any of the locations serve Italian rainbow cookies?

Unfortunately they don't :(

Do you make cakes for dogs? Sounds super extra but doesn't hurt to ask.

If I'm not mistaken, they do not make dog cakes. I recommend PJ's Pet Cafe on 7th St in Long Beach :)

Do they have fruit tart cakes?

I have never seen a big fruit tart so maybe by special order? If walking in, they do have a napoleon cake which is the closest thing. There is a lot of fruit and custard and crispy pastry inside. It's good however it's not a traditional fruit tart… Read more

Hi, Would it be too late to order a fondant cake for Saturday. I need it to feed approx. 20 people.?

Hopefully, you always mean 'next' Saturday

Do you sell a Star Wars themed cake?

I'm pretty sure they can make anything. They were able to make me a beach theme bridal cake. Good luck!

DELICIOUS! Came here…read moreon a saturday evening and it was fairly packed with all the other food trucks in the area. Dulce Canella has so many options to choose from but we got the Dubai Strawberries, Churros, Mini Pancakes, Atole, and Fried oreos. Everything was sooooo delicious and made fresh to order! You can see them cooking and frying everything in front of you, which is amazing! The Atole was one of the best i've had, usually they seem to be a bit more water down, but their Atole was not like that AT ALL. It was so flavorful. The strawberries they top the pancakes with and they use for the dubai strawberries were perfectly sweet too, it went well with everything. Their service was quick and kind, they recommended so many amazing things and everything was priced great too. Highly recommend supporting a business like Dulce Canella! So so delicious!

I got their fruity pebbles shake, Dubai chocolate strawberries, fried Twinkies, and foodie plater which comes with mini pancakes, fried Oreos, and churros with 2 toppings and I got their fruity pebbles and lechera. Everything is super fresh and made to order. The fruity pebbles shake was creamy, rich, perfectly sweet, with plenty of fruity pebbley flaves. The strawberries in the Dubai chocolate strawberries were fresh, tart, sweet, massive and perfectly balanced the rich nutty pistachio butter and Nutella that was loaded in there with that crispity crunchy kataifi. This was my first time trying a fried Twinkie and Oreo and wow. A crisp yet fluffy pillowy pancake like batter that perfectly balanced the sweet soft Twinkie and Oreo inside. MNM. The churros were also really good. Made to order, Hot, fresh, amazingly crispity crunchy, sugary, and definitely pure deliciousity. The mini pancakes were fluffy, pillowy, had a lightly sweet vanilla flave with a lightly crisp exterior. Everything paired well with the toppings and was a nice sweet treat. Overall this place is pretty good. Foodie platter $15 Fried Twinkies $7.28 Dubai chocolate strawberries $13.52 Fruity pebbles shake $6.76

Unfortunately we moved out of state but when we visit family in Cali. This place is a MUST visit! Ice here is just that good!! Customer service here is top notch !

Update: They're no longer affiliated with Fivestars!…read more I've since gone two additional times to try their waffle bites. My last trip was kind of spontaneous because I suddenly got a Fivestars reward that day for these waffle bites. However, when I arrived, I was looking for the Fivestars tablet only to be met by a Clover tablet instead. It felt like I went through a time warp because the employee working behind the register didn't seem to have any idea what I was trying to say regarding Fivestars, though he did notice a little trifold card on the front counter mentioning Fivestars. I asked if he could get his manager so I could explain, and even show, him my Fivestars reward. The reward said "already accepted", which he almost thought meant I had redeemed it already, but if that were the case, then it would have said "already redeemed". Given that they've now done away with Fivestars, I'm not too surprised he may have gotten the words "accepted" confused with "redeemed", but luckily, he was happy enough to honor it for me. The employee who assisted me was very helpful, though he did ask me to repeat the topping and the drizzle that I wanted. I chose the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor ice cream with Fruity Pebbles toppings and a Strawberry drizzle on top. Since I had already tried the cookie flavors before, I figured I'd try the fruity flavors this time around. He said he needed about 5 minutes to prepare my waffle bites, which were presented a little different than last time. Last time, I got the Cookie Butter flavor with *Cookie* Crisp and Peanut *Butter* (see what I did there?), and it came in a small plastic takeout container. This one came in a large plastic cup, and I'm thinking the logistics may have changed a ton between my last two visits. I did appreciate how the employee asked if I wanted the waffles on top of or beneath the ice cream before making the waffle bites; I chose on top. He also asked if I'd like powdered sugar on top, to which I agreed. Unfortunately, neither of the waffle bites I got from my last two visits impressed me that much. As a matter of fact, the only thing that impressed me was the strawberry drizzle. Everything else fell kind of flat. While generous in size for the $8 price tag, the Cookie Butter and the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream didn't really taste like these flavors at all! For whatever reason, the peanut butter didn't add much flavor, but the strawberry drizzle added a lot! How even?! In short, the waffle bites weren't that much of an upgrade from the ice cream scoop that I had on my first visit. I'm willing to say "too much good was no good" here. The waffles themselves were good, but they can only do so much when a flavored ice cream doesn't even taste like that flavor. It's worth noting that on my penultimate visit, when I got the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, I saw two employees behind the front counter who were ready to take my order. I asked them to explain what the waffle bites were, but it took them a couple of tries to actually understand what I was asking. From what I gathered, the waffle bites were similar to the ice cream scoop I had on my first visit, but with the addition of a warm waffle to supplement the ice cream. However, the step-by-step process remains the same. I was initially told it would take 6 minutes to prepare the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, but it actually took 15! It seemed like one was training the other or they were trying to gather the ingredients and/or the steps needed to create the waffle bites. After about 10 minutes, I was told by one of the employees they had to make a new batch of waffles because the first batch had burnt. The music was getting pretty loud, so it was hard to hear him after that, but I didn't want to hold up the kitchen prep process any longer. I just said "Alright, sure" so he could continue preparing my order. I do appreciate how he let me know of this so that I'd know the reason for the extended wait, but I wish they weren't so ill-prepared during my visit. So overall, still 3 stars overall. I appreciate the prior partnership with Fivestars, but these missed opportunities have led me to believe that Cravings is just not for me. I doubt I'll try anything else on their ice cream menu, and considering that there are only a few parking spots in their lot, it will take a lot to get me to try their hot chicken. And speaking of lack of parking, I also want to mention that on my second visit, I saw two open parking stalls right in front of Cravings, one on either side of a car. That car had its driver's side wide open so that I couldn't park there. I had to park on the passenger side of that car, which he left much less room for. Perhaps a microcosm of the clientele in this part of town? Everybody deserves a second chance, right? Unfortunately, not everybody can make the most of them, and this is just one example of such. Thanks for the sweet treats Cravings, but I'll get my next one somewhere else.

They have two ordering kiosks, which I love because you can take your time, look at the menu with pictures, and not feel rushed. The workers are always nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. My absolute favorite is the Twin snow mountains. I'm obsessed with the vanilla frost -- it's like chewing ice that's perfectly flavored with vanilla. The vanilla and matcha ice cream blend together really well, and pairing that with the grass jelly and strawberries is chef's kiss. My only tiny wish is that the strawberries were cut into smaller pieces so I could get one in every bite, but honestly I'll gladly do it myself. I come here all the time just for this dessert. It's my go-to and never disappoints.

Parking: They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a parking spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating. The tables and seats were kept clean. There's cute decor from the ceiling as well. This is the type of spot where you'd bring your family with younger kids for something sweet, while the adults sit and talk. When we visited, my family and one other family pretty much took up all the tables lol. Service: There was only one worker behind the counter serving and making the drinks and desserts. She doesn't acknowledge anyone. It wasn't too busy, but throughput took a while since she was by herself. There's two kiosk to order from. You don't really interact with the worker until she brings out your order. Desserts & drinks: We ordered a mixture of almost everything. We noticed there were a few menu items that were out of stock. I ordered a mango pamelo sago, my sister ordered a brown sugar boba milk tea, my cousin ordered an americano, and my other cousin ordered a strawberry & cream eggette. I thought the mango pamelo sago was okay; the mango flavor was lacking except for the actual mangos. There was plenty of sago, but I thought this dessert was underwhelming. My sister thought the boba was okay bc it had an interesting texture, and the drink itself was lightly sweet than what she's used to. My cousin thought the coffee was okay. The only thing we all enjoyed was the eggette. It's a bubble waffle with ice cream and fresh fruits, which is pretty difficult to mess up. Pricing: Prices are pretty high for the portions offered. Overall, the desserts were underwhelming and some didn't meet our expectations. The eggettes are most likely the only thing we'll come back for.
