Wow the coffee cakes, DELICIOUS! The coffee drinks are sweet and delightful just like I like them. They have SO MANY different options and combinations of flavors that it will take you at least 5 minutes to decide, and that's just talking about the drink menu. There is also a wide variety of coffee cake flavors ranging from original, schoolhouse style, banana, apple, peanut butter and so many more. They have lots of open space and tables to work and enjoy your goodies at. The music is a vibe and definitely is a quiet work spot if you need one. Staff is always friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu the two times I've been in. Both drinks and the cake slices are around $8 each but they're pretty big so you can definitely get a couple servings if you really wanted to. I will absolutely be back when I need the best sweet treat and test out a new flavor of coffee and cake! read more

This is my 2nd time going here. I wanted to do a 2'n review b/c the first one indicated I did not see a sign of "food contains nuts" the owner responded and said there were signs. 2nd time around and I was intentional about looking for signs...there are two handwritten signs on the display case. The Biscoff is the highlight and I probably won't order anything else...it's delish! read more

Coffee Cakes - Cute setting w/great music - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lakewood, California

My friend and I were looking for someplace to meet that would satisfy our sweet tooth cravings when we stumbled across Coffee Cakes, a dessert cafe in Lakewood. It's a pretty spacious shop with plenty of seating, and I absolutely love how they play nostalgic R&B music non-stop. After checking out what they had available that day, we ordered four drinks and three coffee cakes between the two of us. Unsurprisingly, we couldn't finish it all in one sitting, but we were committed to the attempt since everything looked amazing. For the drinks we ordered the Honey kiss latte, Lucky charms latte (marshmallow syrup and foam), Biscoff matcha, and Strawberry matcha. I personally liked the two lattes better than the matchas, but everything was good despite being on the sweeter side. As for their signature coffee cakes, we purchased the toffee nut coffee cake, lemon blueberry coffee cake, and school house coffee cake. Let me start by saying the slices were huge, and they were definitely generous with their portions. Our favorite of the three was the lemon blueberry because of how moist it was. My least favorite was the school house rock because it was pretty dry, in my opinion. All in all, I will definitely be back the next time I get a coffee cake craving. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Coffees are delicious when you want to splurge on the extra sugar. Most of the coffees are very sweet in nature but oh so flavorful! I added two additional shots to try to balance the strength I like with the sweetness they provide and it did the trick! The baked goods were amazing as well I got a cinnamon bun and sour cream bunt cake slice. Everything was amazing and the staff was very friendly! The ambiance is giving early 90's RnB cafe which I LOVED! And they even have an old school arcade game near the back! Over all the vibes are mellow and nostalgic! read more

This was a 5 star experience. Since I moved to LA I've been looking for a good coffee cake and I've finally found it. This was my first time visiting Coffee Cakes and it didn't disappoint. The staff were friendly and very inviting and I loved how patient they were with us. And the vibe inside the cafe is very welcoming. The artwork is very east coast/west coast hip hop with a touch of R&B. I ordered the banana coffee cake, it was so good! The banana didn't overpower the coffee cake, and the coffee cake as a whole was moist. This place is a must try and I can't wait to get back. read more

Got them in the nick of time right before it closed at 1p on Sunday. Always wanted to try this place out and missed out on events they throw with DJs. Anyway, got a few of their drinks. Banana nana, coffee cake, and biscoff cookie lattes. Missed out on their baked goods, but that'll be another visit. Service was good, drinks not super sweet, music on point, and digging the vibe with the decor. I'll swing by again for sweet munchies. read more

I first heard about Coffee Cakes on TikTok, so of course I had to check it out for myself--and I'm glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I loved the vibe. The upbeat music, welcoming atmosphere, and great customer service made for a wonderful first impression. They offer an assortment of unique coffee flavors that go beyond the usual menu, which was a nice change from the typical coffee chain. And let's talk about the coffee cakes--they not only looked amazing but tasted absolutely divine! One thing I also appreciated was the comfortable seating and the amazing artwork. Whether you're catching up with friends, having a casual meeting, or just enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, there are plenty of places to sit, relax, and chat while enjoying your drink and a sweet treat. Like most specialty coffee shops, the prices are a little higher than making coffee at home, but honestly, they're not much different from the larger coffee franchises. If you're looking to support a local coffee shop and want to try something different from the usual chain cafés, I definitely recommend Coffee Cakes. It's a great place for delicious coffee, amazing pastries, good conversation, and a relaxing atmosphere. I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

I'm so happy that I gave Coffee Cakes a shot! After seeing their mouthwatering coffee cakes online, I decided to pay this place a visit, and every aspect of my experience was great. The coffee shop is aesthetically pleasing and has a chill, welcoming vibe. The gentleman who helped me that day was incredibly informative and friendly. He recommended the banana coffee cake, and it did not disappoint! I also tried their Coffee Cake Latte. Since I didn't want caramel syrup, he suggested substituting it with white chocolate syrup, which paired wonderfully with the latte. The coffee cake itself was mouthwatering and absolutely delicious! I loved how moist the cake was, and it had the perfect amount of sweetness for me. I'd definitely come back to try more of their coffee cake flavors. Overall, I highly recommend Coffee Cakes to anyone looking for a new coffee shop to check out! read more

I came here recently and ordered a Chocolate Horchata Latte, something I've never seen on a menu before. I placed the order online and came for pickup. When I came in, the place was pretty full of people, which was surprising to me as I haven't heard much about this place before. There was only one person working so service was a little slower, but he was definitely friendly and working as fast as he could. The whole place had a cozy vibe, with unique decor that sets itself apart from the typical hipster coffee shops you typically see. They had a couple arcade machines in the back, though I wasn't sure if they worked or not. As their store name is coffee cakes, I do regret not getting a coffee cake. It looked like they had a good assortment of flavors and they were also pretty sizeable...so maybe next time I come, I get! read more

Coffee Cakes is one of those hole-in-the-wall coffee shops I'd driven past countless times without stopping. After seeing their Cookie Butter Latte online, I finally decided to check it out, and I'm glad I did. Parking was easy, there wasn't much of a line, and the shop itself has a really fun, modern aesthetic. The atmosphere is inviting and has a lot of personality. Service was quick, and ordering was straightforward. Since it was my first visit, I appreciated that they clearly highlight their best-selling drinks, which makes choosing something easy. That said, I do think there's an opportunity to elevate the experience even more. With such a unique brand and vibe, I'd love to see the team engage a little more by offering recommendations or talking through their favorites. Matching the energy of the space with more personalized service would make the experience even more memorable. I went with the Cookie Butter Latte (of course, since that caught my eye!), and while it was good, it leaned a little too milky for my taste. The cookie butter flavor itself was delicious and not overly sweet, but I would've loved a stronger coffee flavor to balance it out. Overall, it's a great spot with a cool atmosphere, efficient service, and plenty of drinks I'd still like to try. I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. read more

First of all the AC was working great, this is important to note because it has been hot and humid recently. The vibes in here are great. We went with the buttermilk and original coffee cake. Personally, Id skip the buttermilk and just go for the original it's not bad just not what I expected. I had the caramel Apple macchiato and it was just amazing, a must try for sure everything about it was so well thought out. Our cakes came out warmed and our drinks were ready quick. We will definitely be back! read more

Good caffeinated, sugary vibes Coffee Cakes is a recent addition to this plaza, which I used to frequent when there was a DVD Rental shop (remember those?) located there. I was in the mood for a cafe latte, so stopped by post-lunch. Biscoff Crumble Cookie Latte - One of Coffee Cakes' most popular items, and I can verify as to why. Silky smooth, decadently sweet, the Biscoff Crumble Cookie Latte hit the spot after a heavy meal. The cookie crumbles provided texture, and each sip was silky refreshment. Service was good. The young woman behind the counter was friendly, and quick to offer recommendations. A fair amount of indoor seating, the atmosphere has an Old School R & B and Rap motif, with many murals of iconic figures. Parking is via a shared private lot, with Coffee Cakes adjacent to Boot Barn. Coffee Cakes is an excellent new cafe in the area, incorporating quality ingredients, fresh takes & a cool setting. I look forward to coming back, trying out a new drink and perhaps one of their enticing pastries they have to offer. Highly recommend! read more

This is a great little coffee shop / bakery! The shop has a cool vibe, at first we were saying it is like being in the club but that's not right. It's more like being in the VIP room at the club where everybody is chill and you can relax and have a good time :) We both ordered Flat Whites which were good and the perfect drinking temp. Not burning hot like some shops make. Don't get me wrong they were nice and hot just not "well I gotta wait 20 minutes to drink this" hot. LOL But for me the star is the cakes!! I LOVE good coffee cakes and these were as good as it gets! Nice big slices that are fresh and moist. I had the Schoolhouse Classic (which is the LAUSD Coffee Cake... if you know you know!) and it was delicious!!! My Son had the Cinnamon Bun Cake that was also great. Since everything was so good I got a slice of Buttermilk cake to take home :) Everyone was friendly and the shop is super clean, no crumbs on the table here. Coffee Cakes is in a strip mall so there was plenty of parking. Can't wait to come back and try more cakes :) read more

So I have to thank TikTok for putting me on to this coffee shop. I went on a Saturday morning , it was pretty chill. I love the vibe of the coffee shop & and the good music playing. So I ordered the fan favorite iced coffee cake latte & vanilla walnut coffee cake 10/10 for both The latte was strong in flavor not just the coffee cake flavor but coffee also. There was also a lot of option for coffees and lattes. The vanilla coffee cake was light and flavorful and tasty. They also have a blueberry coffee cake that I'd like to go back and try. So it is a little pricey I think it 17 dollars. But 100 percent worth it . I think it's always worth it to spend the extra dollar for local businesses but to each its own. Will definitely be coming back tho read more

I support black businesses of excellence. Their coffee is good, not acidic, a little on the sweet side but you can adjust sweetness level. I like the basic vanilla latte and bananna latte, iced with an extra shot. Only suggestion is get the oatmilk you guys use don't taste good and alters the flavor but good oatmilk is a challenge. The staff is friendly and it is a vibe, I love the 90s rap theme. Make me wana throw up the W. Westsideeeee. Lol read more

This spot is located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking. I've been on a cookie butter/Biscoff cookie latte hunt and this one by far reigns supreme if you're in the Long Beach area. That is exactly what I ordered a cookie butter latte. Coffee was strong, and you could still taste the cookie butter flavors, which also comes with cookie butter crumbles on the top. What else can I say? It was a perfect blend and balance of espresso and that cookie butter/Biscoff cookie flavor that Ive been looking for. The ambience was nice too. I recommend. read more

I live nowhere near Lakewood and discovered this place in my yearly tamale hunt that led me to Lakewood. Kinda mad at Yelp for leading me to such a good place that is so far away. Hit this place up on a Saturday following its very high Yelp rating. I was a little overwhelmed by the menu and the barista kept leading me to the cookie butter latte but I wasn't swayed. I always try a banana latte if they have one and I also went with a safe choice - an horchata latte. I had both iced and with oat milk. This was the best banana latte I have had to date. If you've ever had one, you know they are a hit or miss because the syrup can have a chemical like taste to it. This latte left me wanting another one when I went for my final tamale haul. As for the horchata latte, it did not disappoint but the star was the banana latte. As the menu provides many options, take your time researching your drink so you don't feel overwhelmed like me. I did not have any of the pastries. I went back two weeks later when I picked up my Christmas tamales and the baristas had called out so the owner was making the drinks. While his aesthetic touch to the drinks was on point, surprisingly, his baristas made better drinks. I'm not deducting any stars for that but I will say I was disappointed my drinks weren't as great. So, sir, protect those baristas at all costs because they make some damn delicious drinks. If I'm ever back out that way, I will definitely pop back in and hope the regular baristas are on bar. This gem is in a small stip mall and parking is ample. As you can see from the pictures, the inside is very cute and that little coffee sign pictured is just too adorable. Of note, this place was voted as the best coffee place in Lakewood (the owner pointed this out). Highly recommend that if you live near this place, you get your fix here. read more

Parking is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. As I walked in the lady in a green sweatshirt that was at the register that day walked away. So that was not a good start. A young lady helped me and was really sweet. I left a small tip and she actually thanked me. Most places don't even acknowledge it. I ordered the biscoff late. The lid was a little inconvenient because when I pushed on the top to take a drink the cold foam splattered on me. The coffee itself was pretty good. The coffee taste was mild, I would prefer a little stronger. Overall it was good. The place is cute and I would rather help a mom and pop coffee shop than a cooperative coffee shop. read more

Walking in, the place is really nice -- clean, artsy, and filled with artwork and paintings of rappers, which is a cool touch. Seating-wise, though, this spot is definitely for parties of two. There are no big tables, and only one table that seats four, so it's not ideal for groups. The workers weren't super talkative, and I did have to ask what coffee cake they recommended, but once I did... solid suggestion. We tried the peanut butter coffee cake, and WOW. I've never had coffee cake with peanut butter before, and both my boyfriend and I loved it. The worker said it was their favorite -- and honestly, they have great taste. One note: if you eat coffee cake without a drink nearby, you might choke but that's honestly true for all coffee cake. I ordered the Biscoff cookie iced latte. At first, it tasted more like caramel than Biscoff -- not gonna lie. Still really good though. And the longer it sat, the more Biscoff flavor came through, so I fully take back my initial complaint. My boyfriend got the coffee cake iced latte, which I think tastes like the crumbly topping on coffee cake. His review: "I don't know what it tastes like, but it's really good." Fair enough. Both drinks have a strong coffee-forward taste, with the flavors more in the background -- which means it will definitely wake you up. Overall: great coffee cake, strong coffee, cool vibe. Just don't come with a big group and maybe expect a more low-key service experience. read more

As part of my "75 Whimsy Summer," I've been making a point to visit more local mom-and-pop coffee shops, and today I stumbled across Coffee Cakes. What a delightful surprise. The moment I walked in, I knew I had found something special. A kind gentleman held the door open as I arrived, a local artist was painting beautiful faces on a mural, and the music set the perfect mood. The artwork throughout the shop was stunning, the aroma was heavenly, and I was greeted immediately by a warm and welcoming staff. I ordered the Biscoff Crumble Cookie Latte and a sinful slice of buttermilk coffee cake. The latte was cool, sweet, and drizzled with Biscoff cookie crumble and caramel. Absolutely divine. The coffee cake was rich, buttery, and every bit as heavenly as it sounds. What I loved most, though, was the atmosphere. I sat for a while, sipping my latte and simply watching people come and go. It felt cozy, creative, and full of heart--the kind of place that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. If you're in the Lakewood area, do yourself a favor and stop in. It was easily one of the highlights of my day, and I'll definitely be back. read more

5/20/26 ~ this is my second time here and I ordered the Biscoff Cookie Crumble Latte and Banana Coffee Cake I ordered it my first time here and it tastes just as amazing (if not more) as the first time. My first time I visited, they disclaimed yes they are on the sweeter side of coffee shops, but they can always make your drinks stronger or sweeter however you like. The owners are very kind, welcoming, and helpful when introducing and explaining the menu. I know I should eventually branch out and try different flavored drinks and pastries but I'm stuck on how complimentary the espresso and sweet cookie crumble are and the not too sweet but perfectlyyyy sweet that banana coffee cake is :) read more

Amazing coffee , pastries and atmosphere! I'm hooked , it's a must visit for coffee and music lovers

This morning we woke up and jumped on Yelp looking for a new black owned coffee cafe to try. We have only been on the Cali scene for a few months, but find a 2 for 1 coffee spot have been hit or mess. What do I mean by 2 for 1? Great food/coffee and experience. Today, I think we found it. We drove 20 minutes for this experience and it was worth it. Seriously, if you're looking for a cozy little place to grab coffee and a treat, this is it! I tried their coffee cake iced latte and the minty white mocha hot both were absolutely delicious. Try all of the cakes. I don't think you can go wrong with your choice. The slices are massive. Okay, now that I've acknowledged the food lets discuss the service because the service is hella important to me. The owners run the show and the service was top-notch and felt super personable. Don't be in a hurry, great barista skills takes time. You should definitely check it out if you're in the area. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed morning or mid day pick-me-up. Thank you guys for a great kick start to our day. See you again, soon. read more
