Both were absolutely DELICIOUS, especially the former! And the people working there were kind as well, which is always a plus.

The last time I was here I had the "butter cup," a classic vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting--but it was THE BEST vanilla cupcake I've ever had. "Grandma's chocolate tea cake" was decadently rich and chocolaty, and the Hostess chocolate cupcake look was wonderfully nostalgic for this 90s kid. I've also had lemon drop which was light and refreshingly citrus. My volunteer organization provided Sibby's cupcakes for a private event and every single cupcake I had was so good, I don't care to say how many I ate . The neat thing about Sibby's is they also have gluten-free options and are completely peanut-free and tree nut-free. The location is in an odd place adjacent to downtown San Mateo with plenty of paid parking nearby along the train tracks, and a few limited parking spots right by the bakery. It's a takeaway only place with only a counter right by the door. The prices of the cupcakes are reasonable for the quality you're getting. This is worlds beyond the junk full of vegetable shortening "icing" that you would pick up at a local grocery store.

From time to time, they have promotions with their gift cards. Right now for mother's day, they have a buy $50, get $55 or $100, get $115.

The shop has a small seating area upon walking in with mainly a counter and the cookies on display for you to pick what you would like to refer. Wait time: Practically no wait time waiting in line or for cookies after placing your order. Service: The workers were nice and greeted upon entry and were quick to put the order together. Order via worker standing behind the counter. Cookies: The 66% chocolate chip had big chunks of chocolate which the bitterness helped balance the cookie. The cookies n cream was a little sweet for me but had again pieces of Oreos inside with a nice texture. The chocolate peanut butter again had both chocolate and creamy peanut butter which didn't leave the mouth dry. The honey comb was a unique and different taste with the honeycomb providing a less common sweetness but can be overpowering. The toffee cookie had bits of toffee which again provided texture without being overly sweet. The oatmeal chocolate walnut cookie was my second favorite after the 66% dark cocoa due to the oatmeal again balancing the sweetness of the chocolate with the saltiness of the walnuts. Overall would recommend for a solid cookie with a fair price and the day olds were also extremely cheap for a better quality than you could get at other places.

I recently tried a chocolate cupcake from The Cake Shop in San Mateo at a friend's birthday, and…read moreunfortunately I was really disappointed. The cupcake itself was quite dry, and the buttercream had an overwhelming buttery taste rather than the smooth, creamy, silky texture I expected from a professional bakery. There was also very little frosting on top, which made the presentation look unfinished. I'm honestly relieved this wasn't for my son's birthday, because I would have been extremely disappointed. I really wanted to love it, but it just didn't meet the quality I hoped for.

Had a nice chat with Sales Associate Rosa at the Cakery who enlightened me to this interesting tidbit. ... If you've been Following my reviews you will know... I am absolutely in love with Schubert's princess cake. This may explain why the princess cake at the Cakery has often been hailed as very similar to the one from Schubert's. Even though the Cakery has changed hands. They still offer memorably delicious cakes. I couldn't resist a slice of strawberry cream cake for lunch which was moist and light and ohh sooo good. Picked up a princess cake to enjoy with family and friends tonight. The verdict, while similar, I still prefer the Schubert's princess cake for its lightness and less sweet finish. Schubert's princess cake also has a more predominant almond flavor. Both memorably delicious. In fact, the consensus over the dinner table amongst friends and family was deeeelicious! And my cousin, who's the most important critique says I can bring the princess cake from either place over anytime! Would definitely return for either cake or to try the double chocolate cake which is Rosa's recommendation or coffee crunch cake that Mike C. recommended for next time. Suspect there will be many more times visiting the Cakery on Burlingame Avenue!

I've previously come here for their ice cream and smaller desserts, which were all great. The service is friendly and quick.

They really listen to what you're envisioning and know exactly how to execute a client's request with precision and creativity. Every cake they've made has brought so much joy to the celebrations, and it's clear how much care they put into their work. I can't recommend Simple Delights enough. They've made the families I work with extremely happy and have genuinely contributed to some very special moments. If you need a custom cake that's both stunning and delicious, this is the place.
