I just wanted to take a moment to recognize two amazing ladies at the Downtown Los Angeles…read moreSusieCakes location--Climmiesha and Ariel. Every time I stop by, they greet everyone with genuine smiles, kindness, and such positive energy. It's refreshing to see how well they interact with every guest and how much they truly seem to care about making each visit special. Their customer service is consistently outstanding, and they always make me feel welcomed and appreciated. I'll admit, I probably stop by more often than I should (don't judge me! ), but it's honestly because the experience is just as sweet as the desserts. They always leave me smiling. Thank you, Climmiesha and Ariel, for making every visit such a great one. You both are a huge reason I look forward to coming back. Keep being amazing!

Cakes- Although initially the cakes were on the heavier / sweeter side than expected, the staff…read moreshared which cakes were sweeter, used cream cheese frosting vs buttercream, were more moist (even after a couple days), etc. Our favorite has been the Red Velvet- moist, cream cheese frosting, and not as sweet. You cannot go wrong with any of the cakes if you inherently like coconut, lemon, carrot cakes, birthday, and others (seasonal favorite is berry cake- Light, buttercream frosting, fresh berries, the best!) However, indulging in the cakes is not the main reason we come here. The people who open and close the store, who make the cakes, place them tantalizingly on the shelves, have dog treats/samples available, and the ability to somehow uplift any depressing mood (esp. our chemotherapy treatment days) and even my Shiba Inu's day, are the reason we chose this location. Cici (shortened) has done it all and has gone above and beyond to even greet Rufus, our dog as we walk past the store to give him a treat. She remembers what cake my mom enjoyed during chemotherapy, and always lifted our moods. I don't leave reviews on service, usually the food is what's important. This is one exception where I need to echo other reviewer sentiments that CiCi, Lucia, and Dennis have made this location our go to location because their professionalism, hard work, friendliness, empathy are all palpable. Thank you Cici, Lucia and Dennis for the cakes and cupcakes, (even making a cream cheese frosting cupcake instead of buttercream on the spot, because we asked). Cici we are grateful for sharing your time with Rufus as he has a new friend in DTLA. Moreover, for your kindness and ability to always sweeten and uplift even our roughest days.

Super friendly guy working! We were playing tourists in town and decided to stop here for dessert…read more& it does not disappoint! We came at a perfect time with no one else there. The guy working was super helpful and told us everything he had in the store. By the time we decided what we wanted, a line started forming! Good timing for us!! He didn't rush us and answered our questions nicely! We got a few different things & sat outside to have a break and try our goodies. He even game out later with a little sliver of the berry cake for us to try! So nice and the cake was soft and yummy!!! My lemon bar was tart & tangy as well. I tried my lemon white chocolate cake slice ($13) when I got home & it's amazing!! I love me a good lemon treat, I also got the lemon bar($6). Soo many flavor options! My friend got 2 of the cupcakes ($7). They use to have 1 in Newport but it closed. Glad their LA location is still open. So if you are nearby, worth a stop! SYOY!

I've been coming to this bakery for cream puffs for years and years and they are STILL the best…read moreI've ever had. They used to be 50-60 cents each when I first started going and now they're a $1 each but absolutely worth every cent!! There's another location in Garden Grove so Ktown or Garden Grove whatever's closer for you. The custard filling is rich, dense, creamy and perfectly sweetened. It's also filled all the way through unlike some places where they skimp out and it's a lot of dough/air. Just the teeniest bit of crust to hold the filling and it's basically just pure custard... soooooo so good. No frills bakery. Not here for the aesthetics just good cream puffs. They sell bread and cakes too but we are loyal cream puff enthusiasts. 50c charge for using credit card if you don't hit $10 I think but... 2 bags of cream puffs and you're good to go. I cleared these so quick. Buy more than you think you're going to need and ESPECIALLY if you plan on sharing!! These cleared out in SECONDSSS before we even got the freeway back home. Easy parking. There's only 1 row in front and usually taken (since they're right next door to BCD) but there's the whole rest of the plaza to park in so don't even worry.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TREATS!…read more As we were going home, we saw a little bakery and decided to stop. Turns out, it was a great idea! I think they also serve pizza? lol. Food: 4/5 My family loved the sweet breads. I'm not a bread girl myself, (I know, Mexican- card revoked lol) but my family did, and they really enjoyed the conchas, cookies, and bolio. Service: 5/5 The boy running the register, was so nice! His mom (possibly) was amazing as well. I felt like I was talking to my aunt lol It's so nice going into places and they try to make you feel at home :) Price: 5/5 Imo, 14.00 was good! We got a lot of items, and we spend way more at El super or Gonzales supermarket. We love to shop local as much as possible. All around: 5/5 It's clean, great treats, and amazing service. If you need a whole birthday cake, pizza, or after dinner treat, this place has it all!

Petit Bonbon LA is the place to go if you want a beautifully crafted, delicious cake--especially if…read moreyou have a specific vision in mind. I've ordered from them multiple times, and every time, they absolutely nail it, even with some of the more unhinged requests I've thrown their way. No matter how niche or wild the idea, she goes above and beyond to bring it to life, and I appreciate that so much. Beyond the aesthetics, the flavors are incredible. The cakes aren't overly sweet, which I love, and she offers unique flavors that are hard to find outside of Korea, like mugwort injeolmi, alongside delicious options like earl grey. She even made a custom Pochacco cake for my friend's birthday, and it was perfect. Petit Bonbon LA is hands down my go-to for every event. If you want a cake that's both stunning and delicious, I can't recommend them enough! (I'll share some pics of past orders so you can see just how amazing they are.)
