    I wanted to support an Alameda business for a recent event and came across Doodlecakes online. Rebekah was amazing throughout the process answering questions I had, keeping me updated on various flavors that were coming up, etc. The variety of cupcake flavors was awesome! The event guests had fun choosing what flavors they were going to eat and raved about the taste. I think my two favorites were the cookies and cream cupcake and the biscoff cookie cupcake. Highly recommend for any events you're hosting (they have regular cupcakes, mini cupcakes, cakes, etc.).

    So happy that we used Doodlecakes for our party today! Extremely friendly staff who were able to work with our schedule and delivered an extremely delicious and beautiful spread of cupcakes. Be sure to check out all of their flavors!!!

    Strawberry Crunch and Cinnamon Toasty
    Chris N.

    Awesome custom cupcake and cake shop right here in Alameda. Doodlecakes definitely delivers on its mouthwatering treats. I especially love their mini cupcake platter that gives you the chance to sample all of the flavors they offer each week. They seem to change their menu often with the different creations such as Taro one week and maybe Strawberry Crunch the next. The owners are very friendly and always greet you with a smile. They have a fair amount of Gluten Free options as well and are just as delicious. A place worth checking out and 4.7 stars.

    Chocolate chip cupcake

    I was walking by visiting a family member. I saw this place and decided to try them. The lady I believe was the owner was very nice and helpful.I would for sure go back!

    It was okay... I wish there were more options because the cupcake windows looked a little empty but the standard cupcakes were tasty. They do have vegan options and gluten free but they aren't sweet enough to be a cupcake but that's expected if you trying to be healthy. We didn't know that some were vegan and some were gluten free so we got 2 by accident. It's in a cute little location and the vibe is pretty standard just a small shop, the service was decent. I think it's like 4.50$ per CC.

    My new obsession! I've been wanting to stop by to try their vegan cupcakes. I came by today (Friday, Valentine's day) and they also had some special valentine's day treats! It is cute and welcoming inside and the person working was super helpful in showing me the different flavors. So far I have only eaten the chocolate cupcake and it was soooo good! You wouldn't even be able to tell that it's vegan and gluten free. Will definitely be back!

    holiday-themed mini cupcakes!

    I have ordered birthday cakes and cupcakes (both regular and gluten free) from Rebekah of Doodlecakes for the past 3 years. Everything has been amazing: delicious and beautifully decorated. She is also super responsive and does great custom cakes as well. I so appreciate her care and attention to detail, especially when it comes to common allergens like nuts and eggs. It's so nice to be able to support a local family-run business that does great work and is run by such lovely people. Highly recommend.

    Gluten and dairy free cupcakes. Oreo, blueberry, and hot cocoa were INCREDIBLE!
    Mateo M.

    Wife avoids dairy and gluten and found this place and wanted to give it a try, we went late in the day but tried what was left of the gf/df options and they were super good! I tried a couple regular cupcakes and they were great also. My wife pre ordered a gluten/dairy free dozen recently and I was blown away by how good they were. The oreo, blueberry, and hot cocoa gf/df cupcakes were incredible- I would've never guessed they were gf/df. I also tried a cinnamon toast crunch cupcake and it was pretty good, I just liked the other 3 a lot more. I wish I would've ordered myself a dozen too lol- next time! I live in the central valley but when we're in the area we're going to make it a point to come here! Staff was also super friendly. I used to love feelgood bakery in Alameda and now that it's closed this is my new favorite spot in the area

    Custom Sonic cake

    Rebekah was awesome! She created a custom cake for my son's birthday and it was amazing! She made the process so easy and was very responsive and friendly. Everyone at the party was so impressed with the cake and cupcakes! We will definitely be coming back!

    John Wick themed cake
    Rachel M.

    I have a friend who always brings cupcakes and cakes from this place and they are so good! My friend said the owners are a couple, one as the baker and the other in sales. They have creative tasty flavors and do custom orders really well. You name it they can do it- from John Wick to a vegan beer-themed cake! I've also had several of their cupcakes and they are tasty with yummy toppings and presentation. I have yet to personally order from them because they are a bit further from me and I've been spoiled by my friend who has this place as their go-to dessert spot. I know who to go to for my next custom cake!

    Doodlecakes is on Central, right next to the intersection of Webster Street, and across from the Coast Guard Recruitment office. Stopped in for a sweet snack while running errands nearby. Got the coco choco cupcake $4.25 and it was very tasty and moist, made well with good ingredients that you can taste. Some cupcakes are also made without eggs, dairy or gluten. I believe they change their cupcake flavors and designs weekly. If you opt in to their text messaging service, you can get 10% off your next order.

    Custom Jungle Cake
    Karen C.

    Doodlecakes may have a small storefront, but I would give it lots of kudos for service! Rebekkah was very responsive and accommodating. I also really liked their the online ordering and payment system. It was really convenient. The custom jungle cake that I ordered for my son's birthday was so adorable and cute! The cake was really moist, which we appreciated. However, it was a tad too sweet and had a little too much frosting on the outside of the cake. But, this may have just been due to the design that I wanted as it had to hold the jungle animals. I'm looking forward to my next event, so I can try some different flavors of cupcakes!

    Discovered this shop at the Alameda Art and Wine Festival and so glad I did! Their cupcakes are flavorful and moist. A week later, I was in Alameda and had to stop by the shop. Not all the cupcakes i bought are pictured as I shared with my parents. The red velvet, chocolate chip, cookies and cream and the ones with chocolate are my favorites I know it's hard to choose with all great options!

    Chocolate cupcake with caramel frosting and whip cream so beautiful and delicious

Street parking is the only option. Today, on a play date, I asked my daughter and friend if they wanted a cupcake - YEAH! The permanently drawn hopscotch and flowers on the sidewalk adjacent to the store was a nice touch. The two littles hopscotched their way to the front door. The hours are clearly printed on the door with adornments in the windows to be seen from the outside. Inside the store is quaint. The cupcake display is upfront with the register to the left. We were immediately greeted upon entering. We were the only group inside. At 12:30PM the display case was fairly empty, using cupcake name plates to determine if I wanted any not displayed - I did, one. The young lady behind the counter was in the middle of bringing out an oversized tub of cupcakes to fill the display as we entered. There were about 25 cupcake flavors to choose from with some being vegan including 3 additional dessert options. We each made our selection - vanilla bean, vanilla chocolate, lemon drop, Meyer lemon cream - each $4.75 and packaged individually upon request. Mobile pay, credit/debit and cash were options of payment. The cupcakes are smedium (small medium) in size. The vanilla bean frosting was enjoyed by my daughter. The cupcake itself did not taste like vanilla, more yellow cake forward and was a bit dry. The vanilla chocolate was devoured by my daughter's friend - she enjoyed. The lemon drop was lemon forward, the cupcake was moist, frosting thick. The Meyer lemon was a sweet, lemon forward cupcake, moist with a lemon curd my husband enjoyed.

I was so excited because I love cupcakes.... However, I didn't have a great experience. The person who served me was not nice or friendly at all. I was new and I was not informed on anything, sizes, or the type of cupcakes flavors she had. I was even asked, what size do you want? And there was multiple sizes, all I could guess by hand, was small and big.. but I didn't know the other sizes names...due to not being told. I was super rushed and was the only one in line. Weird. I was so excited to try, but the experience made everything change. Customer service was terrible. I wanted to take photos and videos to make a review and I was basically questioned as to why I was doing so... I informed her, that I was apart of the yelp community and then I was rudely asked. Do you work for yelp? I said no, I'm Yelp Elite. Then nothing was said, just a not so pleasant look. I don't think I will ever return, but you guys check them out. I hope you have a better experience. * UPDATE... then my co worker went to get cupcakes on his break... and had a totally different experience and he was given a Togo cupcake box when I received a napkin. I say this to say, BEING A BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN sometimes offends other women.
