    Overdue review but needed! We had Eva do our wedding cake and a year later we had the frozen piece we saved and it was still as good as ever! We got the strawberry guava for one layer and lemon almond for the other. The buttercream was amazing and flavors perfect. I still am told by friends that it was the best cake they had. Definitely buy here.

    Strawberry guava cake

    Cute little local bakery. Love the butter cream cake here. They always have a lot of flavor to choose from. Other than the cake i don't love other things and they really don't have much to choose from. I ordered a petite size cake for my anniversary. It just comes plain when you order. They can't do frosting or anything else beside writting letters on top unless you special order on the website or something. I got some flowers to put on top so it looks less plain. I like the cake here but i found there is less buttercream when you get a whole cake vs when you get the cake cup and that's my favorite part, and what make this bakery stands out from other. The cake is moist and not too sweet. I would get some cake cup here when i crave buttercream cake but not sure about ordering for a special occasion or something.

    That focaccia is so good. I can't even get over it. I am an Italian descent and I know quite a bit about bread and focaccia and you have the golden touch. The dough is divine on its own and you have just the right amount of sea salt to really bring out the delicate flavors. I love that touch. I believe you must use a high-quality olive oil as well. Anyway, Yum! and thanks! The only thing I didn't like about the cake is I wish I would have ordered a bigger size. It was so good. The cake itself was so delicate and moist. The blackberry compote was absolutely decadent in it's richness and a wonderful pairing with the light and fluffy white cake.

    At long last, I have found a craveable cinnamon roll! (Why are they so hard to find?) The cream cheese icing is well-balanced, tangy, and not too sweet. I will definitely return for one of these brioche cinnamon rolls in the near future. Note: they are currently only available on Saturday and Sunday. I also picked up a chocolate chip cookie for my daughter and a walnut chocolate chip cookie for my husband. They both gave the cookies rave reviews. Glad to have Full Belly Bakery in the vicinity and look forward to returning one weekend soon.

    Mother's Day special Petite cake size

    Last minute find for Mother's Day. The cake was super cute with yellow and pinkish buttercream flowers. I didn't actually get to taste it though. It was a bit pricey for such a small cake but it was a gift for MIL. What I did like was their mini lemon meringue tart. It was absolutely delicious and well priced!

    Cute pastry shop conveniently located across from the Safeway in Montclair. Not open on Monday and Tuesday. A variety of different options including rolls and pastry. Now serving coffee so grab breakfast and walk around the village. The pies are excellent and my favorite is the key lime pie. Pre-order for special occasions. Staff is friendly and helpful as it is hard to choose. Support a local baker who was born and raised in Oakland.

    We really enjoyed working with Eva at Full Belly Bakery to create our wedding cake! From initial discussions to the day-of, Eva was super helpful in helping us figure out what kind of cake would be best suited for our wedding given our tastes, guest count, and budget. She also worked seamlessly with our florist and coordinator to make sure that the cake was delivered on time and also decorated beautifully with flowers from our florist. We had many guests comment on how delicious our strawberry guava cake was, including from folks who don't usually like desserts. We love that we'll be able to go visit Full Belly Bakery and have a slice of our wedding cake again!

    New bakery in town! Located in the busy Montclair Village where the old Subway Sandwich establishment use to be. Parking is not easily found but a nice walk through the village is always great! The ambiance is trendy, small and casual. I walked in this weekend for the first time & was looking for a yummy cake to feed 14-16 people. Unfortunately they do not have pre-made cakes but I absolutely appreciated them offering to make one with a turn around of 2-3 hours. Any other establishment would have said "no we don't have any and we also can't do it" ...and would have just let the customer walk out the door to bring business elsewhere. So for this I admire their hustle. I was thrilled! I picked the 14-16 person guava, vanilla cake (tall) for $84.00 . I did not receive a call to let me know it was ready BUT they are very punctual and had my cake ready by the time we had a greed on/ the moment I picked it up. To my surprise the size of the cake is so small for 14-16 people although the cakes have tall size options, i was just amazed. I come from a family of cake lovers and was super bummed and worried this wouldn't be enough cake! So I had to run to Lucky's and just get a cheap 14 person Oreo cake to compensate from not having enough. I guess this cake is meant to be eaten in very very small pieces, they even include a card with their cakes on how to "maximize" your cake lol. You basically have to cut your cakes halfway point and give your guest the bottom part, while others get the top part with all of the writing and jelly on top. The taste was VERY sweet - someone went way too heavy on the sugar!!! The butter cream is too thick and it's obvious you're consuming butter. My family has a sweet tooth & everyone was amazed at how small the pieces were but mostly how sweet the cake was compared to the cheap Oreo cake... the Oreo cake was less sweet. I couldn't believe it. I really thought this was going to be an amazing cake and I wanted myself and family to be amazed but it just didn't happen with this one. Especially after the amazing customer service I experienced when I walked in. The price, the size, the sugar .. it just wasn't it. And I'm so bummed I won't purchase another cake from my local bakery. It was too expensive for such a mediocre experience. see attached picture for size reference. I will though purchase their focaccia and cinnamon rolls! The samples tasted heavenly! Which is why i was even more bummed about the cake.

    Not only beautiful but delicious!

    When I arrived to the venue to see the cake that Eva created I was in total AWE! It was so stunning (photo attached). And delicious. All the guests were raving. To top it off, she's just an all together good soul, really easy to work with, very accommodating. I highly recommend working with her and Full Belly Bakery. Thank you!

    Today I had the pleasure of meeting Eva and tasting a few of her signature desserts and wow! I cannot wait for my moms birthday so I can order a full size Caramel Pecan Carrot cake. The cake jar was a good treat but I need bigger and MORE!!! Update: I went home and warmed the Carrot cake and the cookie up.... 10/10 highly recommend!!!

There are glass cases full of breads, cakes, eclairs, tarts and other delicious looking baked goods. On the top of the cases are jars with a variety of cookies to choose from, as well as, one of my favorites, their lemon shortbread bar. The lemon shortbread bar is amazing. They stack the wedges in a large lidded glass jar, each wedge separated with a sheet of white parchment paper. I believe this is one of the hidden gems at La Farine. The shortbread crust Is tender and buttery and hold holds it shape well when you bite into it. The lemon curd is creamy with the right amount of tang, and there is a thin sweet layer of crunch on top of curd that puts this bar over the top. The balance of textures and flavors is perfect. I also highly recommend the chocolate eclairs. Each one is filled with a generous amount of piped whipped cream, a pate choux with good flavor and texture, and topped with a rich, silky layer of chocolate ganache. Overall their prices are reasonable -lemon shortbread bar $3, and chocolate eclair 3.50. I decided to give La Farine four stars because on a previous visit I had a slice of the Moka cake, and was not impressed. It is an attractive and delicious looking cake with lovely pale moka colored frosting surrounding layers of dark chocolate cake, however, the frosting lacked the coffee and chocolate flavor combo that I was looking forward to, and sadly the frosting was more waxy than creamy. That being said, I will definitely be back to search for the next delicious gems at this very lovely bakery on Piedmont Ave.

Sometimes, the pizzas are a little overcooked which causes the crust to be extra crispy and a little burnt. But it doesn't change the deliciousness of it. It doesn't matter what they put on the pizza of the day, I know it's going to be tasty. Arizmendi's pizza 100% makes me forget about meat on pizza. I have tried a couple of their baked goods, which have always been good as well. They also have soups of the day, which I surprisingly haven't tried. If you're ordering more than 1 pizza, I'd recommend calling ahead of time so that you don't have to wait a while. There's typically 2 cashiers, always a small line, but you'd be in and out under 30 minutes max. No music, just the sounds of pure hustle trying to get everyone served. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating so keep that in mind. Parking may be tricky as well as there are a lot of surrounding businesses.

Everyone has causes they care about, and many of us do our own advocacy in different ways, but not everyone wants to sign petitions while trying to cross the street or grab lunch. Today, one person became very insistent when I politely declined. He then accused me (and apparently others) of not wanting to engage because of his skin color, which was completely inappropriate and inaccurate. My decision had nothing to do with our skin .. I simply was not interested in signing anything or stopping to discuss a petition at that moment. It escalated to the point where two other women nearby also felt uncomfortable enough to respond. One said, "This is not the way to do it," and another said, "I don't even have money." It was unfortunate that his approach put people in that position. Just a heads up for anyone visiting: be prepared to be approached at the crosswalk, especially since the light can be long. On a positive note: the pizzeria itself was busy, but everyone inside was pleasant, I found a quiet corner to sit, the coffee was warm, and my $3 slice and $1.25 coffee hit the spot.
