Lisa is certainly having a Brat summer. She deserves these five stars based on taste and design of the cake, as well as her service. I was looking for a Charli XCX's Brat inspired cake with a complicated phrasing to add on top. Lisa delivered! It was so delicious we ended up just going at it family style. Thanks, Lisa! read more

I ordered a cake from Lisa for my fiancé's birthday party(9/12). I put in the order a week and a half prior to his birthday so a bit last minute but she made it happen for us. The process of ordering was very easy and straight forward. I told her that I wanted a Don Julio 1942 cake since we will be celebrating with that specific liquor. I wasn't sure of what flavor it should be so she recommended champagne flavor with buttercream and strawberry jam filling which ended up being DELICIOUS. The cake itself was a hit and my fiancé was very happy with the presentation. Everyone at the party LOVED it. I didn't know what to expect when I ordered the cake but I put my trust in her and Lisa exceeded my expectations. We will be ordering custom cakes from her again. read more

I discovered DELIGHTS BY LISA purely by accident about a year ago while out walking in Noe Valley and am very glad I did. Lisa is not only a lovely person, friendly, highly likable and fun to chat with, but a very talented baker as well. I try to drop by and pick something up whenever I'm in the neighborhood. My wife particularly likes her lemon bars but her cookies and chocolate concoctions are wonderful too. I had her make a cake for our wedding anniversary and it turned out great to the eye and the palate. You can't go wrong dropping by and picking up a scrumptious goodie here. read more

It was a delight working with Lisa! She is very responsive and her creation are wonderful.

Thanks Lisa for making the best cake I have never seen for a baby shower! I would definitely recommend you to all my friends for special cake! read more

Ever since I discovered this place by surprise, I haven't gone a week without thinking about their Sea Salt Chocolate Bundt Cake! I'm surprised I even found it, considering they're only open for very short hours during the week. But it's okay--double checking their hours is SO worth it. I've had their Boston Cream cake and it was very decadent, perhaps too thick/too much cream for me. But their sea salt chocolate Bundt cake? Absolutely to die for. read more

This Bakery is in my neighborhood but unfortunately had to close down right as it opened last year due to Covid. Today coming back from my second vaccine dose I saw the open sign and stopped in. Cautionary tale, don't be me, I walked right by the large STOP and Wait here podium like a dope but I recovered as gracefully as one can when you do foolish things. I ordered a blueberry muffin. My husband had a chocolate croissant He said his was really good. I loved my blueberry muffin. I look forward to returning (and following signage) and trying more treats or maybe just eating a dozen blueberry muffins. This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. read more

Delights by Lisa is a real find! I just had them cater the desserts for my daughter's baby shower and everything was super delicious! We had an assortment of shortbread cookies, little cakes, lemon tartlets, chocolate covered strawberries and oh God, was it good! Everyone loved the desserts! Lisa took plenty of time with me to design the dessert menu. My daughter is a fantastic baker and in the food biz so it needed to be extra special. It definitely was! Lisa is a lovely person and is just getting started at the location on 25th Ave. It is in a place that used to be an awful tea room restaurant and now it's her bakery. The shop is set in a bit off 25th Avenue in a little courtyard but it is NOT hard to find. Service - fantastic Food - Yummy!! Will I go back: Oh yeah! read more

I was definitely delighted by Lisa's Bakery! This was my first time getting a cake from her and she was extremely professional. I just required a simple birthday cake for my friend and she was able to get it ready for me in a day. I asked for a simple chocolate cake with layers of peanut butter within. The cake was not overly rich and it was perfectly moist. The design was extremely pretty as well. She even went the extra mile and labeled peanut butter on the box in case someone had allergies. I will definitely be coming back to her. Delicious cakes with great service to back it up. read more

Customer service is very rude. Was laughed at on my face. Was recommended due to multiple orders made by my client prior to but since a simple interaction ruined it all. Will not attempt to order from here. read more

I had such a great experience with Lisa. I wanted to touch base with my friends and clients and ordered 20 pies to drop off at their homes. Besides the pies being incredibly tasty, she provide easy curbside pick-up. I will definitely be ordering more cakes and pies in the future. She's a neighborhood gem! read more

I ordered cupcakes from here for my daughter's birthday. They worked with me over the phone to create beautiful designs. My complaint is the price. Each cupcake was over $3 each, and I didn't feel the cake quality justified that expense. The cake was pretty dry. My other minor complaint was the buttercream frosting: it was the butteriest buttercream I have ever tasted. It tasted OK -- who doesn't love butter??? -- but it seemed like the butter/sugar ratio was way off. Anyway, not terrible overall, but pretty expensive for cupcakes that weren't really more professional than anything I could make at home, which is what I would expect from a bakery specializing in this type of thing. read more

We got unicorn cake for my daughter's smash cake. It was a chocolate mouse cake and the flavor was on point! My daughter loved her first cake! read more

I tried to call to inquire about pricing but kept being told to "go online" but I was unable to find their website. I called back to inquire and I was told to "google it" and the information is online. I just wanted a general idea of cost and they wouldn't even give me a range much less any customer service over the phone. Very disappointed in lack of courtesy and will happily take my business elsewhere. read more

I ordered a cake from Lisa for my son's birthday. I worked with Lisa directly from start to finish and she was wonderful. She responded quickly to my questions, was very friendly, and provided a great product. The cake was more beautiful than I could have imagined and it was delicious. Thank you, Lisa! read more

We needed 2 cakes for a birthday party the next day and Lisa worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. The cakes were beautiful and we were able to get them in a very short time frame. Overall I was very impressed by the owners's friendly service, professionalism, and willingness to accommodate what we needed. read more

I was planning my son's first birthday party with a Daniel Tiger theme. We went in for a consultation and gave Lisa our ideas for a cake. She worked really well with us and the price was very reasonable. The day we went to pick it up my husband and I were really happy. It matched our theme perfectly and it tasted really good! We even ordered a smash cake for him to eat. He was really careful with his cake and loved it! Thank you so much Lisa for helping us with our son, Brandon's very special first birthday! read more

For beautiful, delicious cupcakes, this is your place. The family that runs it are all very nice, it's tucked away in a cute little corner, and it's really pleasant. If you call ahead, they'll do custom work - or you can walk in and get what you get. But let me tell you, what you get is super! read more

My wife and I were looking for a treat in San Mateo Sunday afternoon and found Delights by Lisa Bakery. (They don't front 25th -- they're in a courtyard in the back.) We were expecting a display filled with cupcakes and treats. We found a display with only 9 cupcakes (cupcakes, not flavors) and a handful of eclairs. We bought some of each; the cupcakes (we tried chocolate, coconut, and orange sherbet flavors) were very ordinary. The eclair was better than the cupcakes, with a nice pastry texture, but was pretty forgettable. The cupcakes differed only by frosting; the bodies were the same "yellow birthday cake" sort of cake, were dry, and were all the same neutral flavor. And the frosting was too much, especially on the coconut - it was like eating butter and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Maybe they're better for custom baked goods? I don't expect to return here as a walk-in for an afternoon treat, though. read more

Lisa to the rescue!! My daughter was planning a very last minute birthday celebration for my 7 year old granddaughter... who doesn't really like cake, or cupcakes! She does like cake pops. Because the party was on Labor Day, and we were planning just the week before, no one could accommodate our requests. Quickly I thought of the new store front just two blocks away on Church Street: Delights by Lisa. Not open yet, but a phone number to call. Suddenly the door opened and there was Lisa, to the rescue. Yes, she agreed to accommodate our request! Three dozen cake pops! Vanilla cake, decorated for a 7 year old who loves glitter and sprinkles! Lisa delivered as promised and the cake pops were a hit!! So thrilled to have this new bakery opening in our neighborhood! Give Lisa a try! read more

Talk about yum yum desserts handmade with a taste of home. I have eaten cookies, milkshakes, cupcakes and cakes before from this place and they are super freaking good the owner is really great and down to earth to chat it up with. A couple of my close friends had birthday cakes made by this place and so rich, elegant, yet light and fulfilling. If you are looking for quality, tasteful and custom orders that will make your water like Homer Simpson then this is indeed the place to go too read more

I love supporting local independent companies, so was glad to find this bakery on 25th Avenue in San Mateo. I was cooking a birthday dinner for my mom and was looking for a cake. I asked Lisa if she bakes any sugar free items as mom has diabetes. She said 'yes', using a whip cream (instead of frosting) and she uses a sugar substitute. We choose a Lemon curd cake with the whip cream topping. (She noted that the cake is not 100% sugar free.) It was a big hit at mom's birthday dinner. The cake was light, moist, and not too sweet. The price was a bit on the high side, but I figured it was well worth it considering the quality and taste. Extra bonus points because I only gave Lisa 24 hours notice, but she rose to the occasion. read more

I've picked up cupcakes and a tart on two separate occasions at the last minute. Lisa is a pleasure to work with as she is very helpful, attentive and friendly. She made me feel like I was at home. The price is a little high, but by all means no higher than most places. I was referred to her by a friend who orders the coffee crunch cake that is AMAZING! read more

I wanted two cupcakes with custom wording on top. I called Lisa and ask which cupcakes were in stock as I was in a hurry. Lisa was very accommodating, and got my order ready right away (within 20 minutes!). When I explained what I wanted them for (I initially had only a rough idea of the cupcake design), she told straight away that it could be done. She had some suggestions as well, which turned out to be excellent and fit what I needed. read more

I was just here today for the reopening - I have so missed this place! The cupcakes, pastries, cakes, cookies, and pies are seriously to die for. The ambiance is welcoming, Lisa, the owner is delightful she greets you with a smile and makes you fee like family ... I give it 5 stars because it's the highest I can give on Yelp but honestly this Bakery well deserves 10! So worth traveling to San Mateo for actually I would travel even further for these delights!' read more

I discovered this little shop on a walk down 25th Avenue. The best cupcakes I have tasted in the Bay Area. Lisa is charming, and there is even a little table to enjoy tea and pastries. read more

Lisa was wonderful. It was my friend's birthday and at the last minute I offered to help her husband with the cake. I went with mini cupcakes. Chocolate with chocolate, vanilla with vanilla and lemon cake with vanilla. Lisa handled my last minute request with ease and the cupcakes were delicious. The vanilla on vanilla was the crowd favorite but they were all devoured. My daughter especially liked the signed Chef Duff jacket displayed on the wall. read more

First let me say, Lisa is such a sweet lady and very helpful. I even appreciate the fact that she delivered our cake to the baby shower as I had no time to pick it up. Also my guest, loved the taste of the cake, as did I. Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed in how the cake turned out (appearance wise). The sizing was correct, 8 by 8 for both blocks, but it looked nothing like the photo I had given her. The pink fondant was the exact shade I wanted but the gold trimming was more yellow than gold. The lettering on the blocks, "M.A.M" for my daughters initials, were entirely too small. As you can see the letters in my example photo actually filled the blocks just as real childrens blocks do. Childrens letter blocks were exactly what I wanted my cake to look like, just with different colors. The "gold" fondant border was coming off in no time. Cutting the cake, as instructed by Lisa before hand, was causing it to completely crumble. So no neat slices. We also asked for a rattle with a bow to be constructed on the side of the cake and not only was it abnormally small, it looked nothing like a rattle at all.. just a ball with a stick coming out of it. And the bow was like the size of a nickle. Not sure what happened with my cake, as her other cake photos look pretty impressive. Was not worth $400. read more

The owner (Lisa) is very friendly and attentive. We ordered a birthday cake and it was great value for the price. We brought our own train models for the birthday cake and she took care to sanitize them. Highly recommended, we would order from them again. read more

Today I went to a cake place 2 stores down and they couldn't make my sons birthday cake because they say they needed 3 weeks notice to make a TINY cake. so I walked down to Delights by Lisa and asked if she could do it. My sons 1st birthday is 10 days away. I wanted a 8' fondant and butter cream cake. not too much to ask.. she said yes!!! i was thrilled. i didn't want to have to resort to a safeway cake for my sons 1st birthday. shes going to make a Dr. Seuss cake which might take a bit of time but she took on the challenge knowing shes only got 10 days and tons of orders ahead of me. i am thankful and grateful to have found such a nice and hard working lady!!! read more

I'd def go back to her for some more creative cake ideas that I have in mind. Thank you Lisa.. read more
