But for her 3rd birthday we decided to order one instead. So happy and thankful this bakery exists! Amy is AMAZING! Her customer service is top notch and the ordering/pickup process was effortless. We decided to stop by prior to purchase a few different cupcake flavors. They were ALL absolutely delicious but we loved the strawberry churro flavor the best. I submitted my cake order online (I was able to include inspo pics and provide specific cake decor I had ordered on Etsy). Amy immediately responded back to my online order and answered all of my questions. I was able to easily purchase online and pick up day prior to my daughter's birthday party. The birthday cake was absolutely beautiful (it looked exactly like the inspo pics I had provided), it was moist and delicious! It's everything we asked for and more. The birthday girl and guests enjoyed every bite of it. Thank you again for being a huge part of her special day. I look forward to ordering from you in the future!

OBSESSED is an understatement. I just discovered Cake Girl Bakery in LA and I can confidently say I…read morehave found my new addiction. First of all ...these are VEGAN cupcakes (YAY) and cakes... and you would NEVER know the difference other than they're better than any dairy cupcake I've ever had. The texture? Perfectly moist. The frosting? Creamy, rich. The flavors? Unreal. Every bite tastes like it was made with actual love. Their donuts were beyond my expectations... deliciously dense and very filling. Safe to say I'll be ordering birthday cakes, random Tuesday cupcakes/donuts, and probably anything else they make from here on out. I am officially obsessed.

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.

There's a self serving kiosk but I crashed at some point when we were looking through our choices. We ended up having the worker help us. They helped me choose my flavor because I was debating on either smores or banana. I'm glad I ended up with banana! Banana(8/10): The cake part basically tasted like banana bread and it was quite delicious! As much as I enjoyed it, I thought the frosting was overly sweet. I would still choose that flavor if I were to choose again! Protein(0/10): I thought the whole thing was very dry and it didn't help with the frosting being overly sweet. Definitely, will not be choosing this again. Service(10/10): They were kind and helpful! I accidentally dropped my cupcake and I was devastated! I asked if they were ok with switching it out and luckily they allowed it! I was very grateful for the worker that helped us! Overall, a place worth trying especially for their service!

Fyi - it's located on the second floor right next to CPK. It's a small cake shop that can handle a few customers at a time so be patient if you're coming with a group or if it's busy. The employee we interacted with was nice and more than willing to answer any/all questions. We even got to try a free sample of their chocolate cake while we looked everything over. You can build your own customizable cake if you're adventurous with plenty of toppings to choose from. They also have signature cakes if you get overwhelmed and want to keep it simple. My better half and I shared a Strawberry Shortcake. We were both surprised by how good it is! A perfectly moist and tasty treat! They also write your name on the cake box so you can take pics and humblebrag to your friends/family. We like that all the cakes are individual-sized so it's not too heavy. Bonus points for having a lot of gluten-free options! Hope Peace of Cake continues to be successful! They also have online ordering/pick-up available.

Walked past the beautiful historic hotel across the street and noticed that this bakery was in a corner space of the hotel. My friend recommended we go in because it is a very highly regarded bakery. And yes, I found out that she was correct. We bought a Guava & Gruyere croissant And it was delicious. You get an aluminum tray and tongs that are located by the display and pick out what delicacies you want and then take them to the register. The people working there were very nice. And the price is great! I wish I bought a few more before coming back across town!

Found this place on Instagram, so we drove down from Pasadena...and it was well worth the drive…read more The store is super cute inside with a fun seating area. I wished we had arrived earlier to be able to enjoy more of the sold out offerings, but next time we'll arrive right when they open. We ordered a dozen crinkle cookies for a Mother's Day lunch - enjoying the sweet ube and the spiced thai tea versions. Both were great compliments to each other - more perfectly sweet and the other a bit more herbal. The chocolate chip cookie was perfect - nice crunchy edges and slightly gooey soft inside. The ube tres leches was a little disappointing as there wasn't any tres leches cake at the bottom, just crumbly graham crackers resting below exquisite ube mousse. It could have been mislabeled, but it was essentially just ube mousse with crumbly graham crackers for texture. The staff were friendly and the store is so fun!

We visited Butter Lab for the first time on 05/10/2026 in the late morning hours…read more The person helping us out at the counter, on this somewhat busy morning, kept the flow running nice and smooth (and he was friendly) So, we tried a few things during this visit. Two items for immediate consumption and then some cookies for later. We purchased a dozen of the regular size cookies, including both Ube and Thai Tea. Both of them were excellent, and I felt they were priced appropriately at a dozen for $18. The Thai Tea seriously tasted like you were truly drinking a thai tea. We also shared one large classic chocolate chip cookies (so yummy!) The only thing we didn't understand is that we shared a Ube Tres Leches. I am not sure what was going on. Don't get me wrong, what we ate was very good; however, it was 100% not Tres Leches. It was an Ube Cream with some graham cracker crumble underneath. So, my assumption is that they must have just given us the wrong item. I would love to try the Tres Leches again in the future. Please support his lovely local business. It was a real treat!

I've visited Café Dulce in Little Tokyo before, and I usually enjoy stopping in, especially when…read moreI'm in the area with my two kids. The drinks and pastries have always made it an easy place for us to grab a treat, so I'm not writing this based on one random first impression. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing enough that I felt I needed to say something. When we came in, the trash cans were overflowing, and the floor looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time. I understand that cafés can get very busy, especially in Little Tokyo, and I never expect a place to look perfect every second of the day. However, the dining area felt noticeably neglected. With two children, cleanliness is something I pay closer attention to, and it was uncomfortable trying to find a clean area for us to stand and sit. The overall atmosphere also felt disorganized. We waited at the register for help, but it took a while before anyone acknowledged us. A simple "I'll be right with you" would have made a big difference. I have had better experiences here in the past, which is why this visit stood out so much. I'm hoping this was simply a bad day, because Café Dulce has always been a place I was happy to visit with my family. I'm sharing this because I would genuinely like to see the cleanliness and customer service return to the standard I remember. Private Feedback for Management I did not feel comfortable putting the full details of this experience in a public review, but I believe management needs to be aware of what happened. While I was standing at the register waiting to order, the male employee working there was engaged in a conversation with another person and appeared to be openly gloating about drinking while on the job. Based on what I heard and observed, he also appeared to be impaired or intoxicated. He continued the conversation while ignoring me, even though I was standing directly in front of the register waiting to place an order. The tone of the conversation was not subtle or professional. It created a much darker and more uncomfortable atmosphere than what I would ever expect from a family-friendly café. I was there with my two children, and hearing someone behind the register casually talking about drinking while working was deeply concerning. Someone who appears intoxicated while operating a register and handling customers' money creates a terrible narrative for the business. It raises concerns about judgment, accuracy with transactions, food-service safety, and the overall professionalism of the workplace. Even if the employee was exaggerating or joking, it was still completely inappropriate to have that conversation openly in front of customers. What bothered me most was not only the conversation, but the fact that I was being ignored while it continued. I was waiting to spend money at the business, yet the employee seemed more interested in talking about drinking than acknowledging a customer. As a mother standing there with two children, the situation felt uncomfortable, disrespectful, and honestly a little disturbing. This is not my first time visiting Café Dulce, and I have never felt compelled to complain before. I understand that employees are human and that businesses have difficult days. However, the combination of overflowing trash cans, a dirty floor, being ignored at the register, and an employee appearing impaired while discussing drinking on the job crossed a line for me. I am sharing this privately because I believe management should have the opportunity to address it directly. I hope the situation is taken seriously, not only for the reputation of the café, but for the safety and comfort of the customers and employees.
