Wow!! Picked up a dozen of the mixed assortment cupcakes for a last minute gender reveal party yesterday, and they filled one surprise cupcake with some blue frosting no problem. Everyone was remarking at how good the cupcakes were. Nobody could believe that half and them were gluten, dairy, and egg free... the texture and flavor were spectacular! I'm already dreaming about getting these cupcakes again for another event

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.

Doodlecakes overdelivers every single time! They are so easy to work with, responsive, and make the entire process stress-free. Not only are their cakes absolutely beautiful, but they are also delicious! We've ordered from them multiple times and are consistently impressed by their creativity and attention to detail. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

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.

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!

Cupcake variety

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!

Current selection

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!

Melanie D.

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

Between the inside seats and the outdoor bench seating, there's plenty of space for a lot of people and when the weather is nice, it's even better. The pastries display was absolutely amazing. Not just their bread offerings, but also their croissants and bombolinis, my gosh it's hard not to throw caution into the wind and order a little of everything. I opted for the matcha croissant, blackberry cream cheese danish, passionfruit bombolini, and vanilla bombolini, and all were amazing and not too sweet. The topper was the ube latte that I got along with everything. Overall, a great pit stop if you're in the area or if you just want to come here because of this place. It's sure to be a good, delicious time.

I love this area of Alameda, populated with so many fun breweries and family-friendly spaces.

Would love to try it as a brekky sandwich, but we didn't want to ruin our appetites for festival food lunch..the brekky menu looked amazing including biscuits & gravy, churro French toast sticks, lemon zest French toast, brekky pizza, and the pork & jam (crispy pulled pork, house made blackberry jam, fried egg, honey-buttermilk biscuit with country fried taters...sounds delish!!) They also have a beautiful selection of baked goods, pretzels, packaged breads to-go, lunch AND dinner options including soups, salads, pizzas, kiddo menu, sandwiches, sliders, and more. I had no idea! Service was quick, hours kickoff at 7:30a, and there's indoor/outdoor seating. Plenty of parking outside or across the street if needed. Can't wait to come back soon!

The coconut was great, but the middle chunks of coconut, which I appreciate, just didn't do it for me. I personally think a softer - cream/cake center would've made it a 10/10. Very excited to try more flavors.

While it took some coordination on my part, we all made it and it's the best insider peek into this Bay Area institution that started in a small bakery that has grown so very much! Our guide Jennifer was a wealth of knowledge and so very fun to lead us through the history and operations of this business. The average person just doesn't appreciate all the work that goes into the foods that we eat. We saw the warehouse where the raw goods are stored and then onto the production floor! We saw the flour coming out into the massive vats, loaves coming out of ovens, focaccia going into convection ovens and all the steps in between. We were gifted an amazing bag of products that included a sweet baguette, sour battard, a bag of granola, bag of croutons, a morning bun, bag of cinnamon bread, biscotti and a bag of cinnamon bread. Unbelievable!!! They are such a family oriented organization that values community that they regularly donate product out. Items that come back from the stores and those that have an opps are sent out to become feed for chickens! I've always loved Semifreddis and now, I love them more. There are no public tours. Only way in is via a donated tour or via hosted events for 2nd grade and up classes. What a special day for me and 19 of my friends and family. Thank you!! Ps. No pics inside due to employee privacy.

Gluten challenge stop #7. All I can say is WOW! We got the yuzu bun and a pandan bun…read more The yuzu meringue bun was amazing. It's like a morning bun, and the texture of the morning bun is light, fluffy. Lots of sugar on it, it shedded everywhere while eating. The filling is the star. It is a curd and has a strong a prominent yuzu flavor. They filled it VERY generously. You get curd with every bite. We both agreed the meringue on top, while good, was not needed. The yuzu curd is not too sweet, they really lean into the sour so it balances out the sweet bun nicely. The pandan bun is like nothing I've EVER had. It's the strongest pandan flavored anything I've ever had. You can smell the pandan before you even bite into it. It's a lot like a brioche bun (not dissimilar to challah in texture) with a pandan-flavored concha top. It has a cream-style pandan filling which is a SUPER strong pandan flavor. Generously filled, very generously. Will definitely return if I can. Their flavors are on a rotating basis. The woman at the counter was enthusiastic and polite, eagerly answered questions.
