Happy Valentine's Day! I came in this morning to purchase a cake. They have ready-made ones, and I asked if they could please add hearts and write "Happy Valentine's Day" on the $18 cake. The woman at the counter said "they usually do not write on those cakes" What? Really? WOW! Okay. For the 20+ years that I have been a customer, I was always able to do this very thing! Thanks, but no thanks. So, I left. Without my Valentine's Day cake for my family. Oh well, off to another bakery. read more

I've been ordering cakes from Greggerson's for over 60? Years. For family birthdays for functions at the schools I worked at. They always accommodated my requests for special decoration themes and colors. The vanilla almond frosting is my favorite. As I write my mouth is watering thinking of the cakes and that frosting! Love Greggerson's Cakes and hope you will too! read more

Decided to have a last minute 1st birthday party for my daughter. I called the day of to get a smash and regular cake, and Greggerson's made it happen!!! I called about 3 times and spoke to two different people and both were understanding and were costumer service oriented. Not only does the cakes look beautiful I love the almond paste/taste of the cakes. It's a flash from the past of original type of baked goods. If you're used to store bought cakes and want to try something different, you try this place out. read more

Best cakes and cookies, always consistent and the service is amazing! I don't usually like frosting but Greggerson's is my only exception!

I really wanted to like this classic bakery but unfortunately I didn't. We have so many other excellent bakeries all over El Paso. If you include home bakers in the mix, there are plenty more. I'm going to say 2.5 but round up to 3 on this one. A lot of people like their signature frosting but I didn't at all...not even a little bit. It was overly sweet for me. The sweetness of the frosting on top of a cupcake can make or break it. In this case, it broke it royally. I had to scrape it all off the cupcake before eating the cake part. I just couldn't stand the taste or smell of this frosting. I hear it's made with almonds. It didn't taste like almonds at all imo. All I tasted was a ton of sugar. I think I even felt the texture of grainy sugar in the frosting. It was almost like the frosting was crunchy from so much sugar in it. Perhaps that was the almonds that people mention? Personally, I prefer whipped cream or cream cheese frosting. It isn't as sweet. It's also smoother and fluffier. Fondant (which I hate eating too) would've been better than the frosting here. I paid $7 for a half dozen of strawberry cupcakes. The cake without the frosting was pretty good. It was moist and fluffy. That's why I'm rounding up to three stars. The customer service was ok, nothing spectacular. The guy who was helping me was ok. He did his job but didn't go above and beyond. The bakery didn't have anything else to sell aside from cupcakes and cakes. I expected a larger variety of baked goods. It's still Covid times so there's that. Maybe just maybe if the frosting was different, I would come back. If not, I wouldn't return. read more

Extremely rude gentlemen working the window , screamed at us to put a mask on, would not give us a mask to wear, stated it was not his responsibility.

I ordered a cake last minute and they had it ready. Cake was delicious, we had no leftovers! Icing is so good!

Holy moley! Greggerson's you have a forever fan in me! I've tried a few different bakeries when buying cakes and if you're looking for a buttercream frosted cake, nothing compares. I went in earlier this week to place an order for Friday with only a small idea of what I wanted. My exact words? Small and girly. The lady at the register was already helping a guest when I arrived, but another lady came out from the back and was ready to help me. Now that's what I'm talking about. Going in, I wasn't exactly sure of the skill set so I didn't want to ask for the world only to receive a small island, but after she asked me some questions and showed me some designs on cakes and cupcakes that they had on hand I felt pretty confident that they'd be able to execute a beautiful cake. So we landed on their smallest chocolate cake with roses and butterfly (non-edible) in pastel colors. All of this for $15! And you're probably thinking, how big was a $15 cake? We had seven people eat into this cake and the birthday girl still ended up going home with at least half a cake. I can't say size in inches for sure, but I'll just say that the diameter was the size I'm used to seeing, it was just a little shorter than most (but it actually gave a better cake to frosting ratio). The cake was amazing! And the frosting was by far the best buttercream I've ever had. The chocolate cake was moist with the perfect amount of sweetness. Gahhhhh... the buttercream. They do an Amaretto flavored buttercream and jeez that stuff is heavenly. I'm not usually a fan of buttercream because it tends to just taste like sugar to me, but Greggerson's buttercream is the stuff of dreams. I would legit eat this buttercream frosting by itself. Great bakery for your cake and cupcake needs. I recommend them for any kind of occasion that calls for a cake. They are at the forefront of my mind for our wedding cake... yeah, it's that good! read more

I stop by today because it's my son's 15th birthday & I was hoping they might be open. Greggerson's cake cottage was not only open they had lots of cupcakes of different sizes, cakes of different sizes available for pick right up! It was great! El Paso's most popular wedding & quiceñera cake was available for anyone to walk in & buy. They followed Covid-19!safety protocols and I was in and out within a matter of 5 minutes. Will definitely be coming by again. Thank you Greggerson's! read more

I ordered 2 chocolate cakes from here & they were decorated beautifully. The man I spoke to had excellent suggestions on what colors & style for the decorations. They were ready ahead of time too. I even got a free cupcake when I picked up the second cake. Unfortunately both cakes were a bit dry. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that they were sitting out before serving. I kept them in the same containers they were picked up in, with the cellophane wrap covering. Maybe I should have kept them refrigerated? read more

Greggerson's Cake Cottage - Buttercream Amaretto frosting - Bakeries Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Excellent service and everything tastes so good. Great cakes for events, cookie platters, and cupcakes.

New to El Paso and was wanting a cake for my daughter's graduation. Asked around and several people recommended Greggerson's. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Walked in the store and was not greeted in any manner. There were a few people waiting in the lobby, so I stood in line. I was with a friend, another newbie, who was also wanting a cake. When it was our turn, the lady behind the counter just stared at us and waited for us to speak. There isn't any kind of signage showing any options like cake flavors, sizes, prices, etc. There isn't any kind of book with photos to give you inspiration if you aren't sure of what you want. When we asked if she had anything to give us ideas, she pulled out a sheet of paper that showed different icing fonts. She offered no suggestions or explanations whatsoever. So, we got through that, figured out our cakes and what we'd like written on them. I must add, the entire time she was waiting on us, she was halfway doing other tasks as well, so I felt very rushed and like I was bothering her. The day comes to pickup my cake. The decorations looked great but the wording was sloppy, crooked and grammatically incorrect, to include lack of punctuation that I had specified. I was very disappointed. The cake was also not wrapped or covered. It was in a makeshift box with no lid and just a flimsy piece of plastic wrap over the top that didn't even cover the whole top. I wanted nothing more to do with this place, so I paid and left without a word. I will say, I did think the price was fair for the size/design I wanted. I ordered a vanilla cake with raspberry filling. The cake was very dry and the filling was like a thick, fake pie filling glaze. I was not impressed. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but my cake combined with lack of customer service, left me feeling so disappointed. read more

My mom bought our birthday cakes from Greggerson's in the 80s and it was always the special touch to celebrate. Fast forward to today and we are still buying cakes from Greggerson's. I'm so happy they didn't change the recipes with the new ownership! read more

Exceptional customer service and amazing cakes!!! The bakery went above and beyond at last minute.

The frosting they have on their cakes is simply out of this world! The distinct taste is unique and flavorful that one will be amazed they haven't had one of their cakes sooner. The texture of the icing is smooth and has a great balance of sweetness. Greggerson's is El Paso bred and born, and in my eyes one of El Paso's sweetest best kept secrets. Enjoying their cakes since my childhood years I genuinely can't find another place that makes cakes like they do. When you arrive at their shop you will immediately notice the quaint and homey feel of this place. Make sure to take notice about their hours as they can close early at times. If you forgot to order a cake they have some available for immediate purchase; however, I love their custom cakes as you can request distinct cake flavors and such. Can't wait to go back to El Paso and enjoy this delicious place! read more

Greggerson's Cake Cottage is my absolute favorite cake in El Paso, Texas. Every occasion on which I have served a Greggerson's cake, the cake becomes the topic of rave reviews amongst my guests or company leading to a barrage of questions by practically all in attendance. I am always pleased to inform them of my source, Greggerson's Cake Cottage. They have perfected the almond flavoring with notes of cherry essence one often enjoys in a special-order wedding cake. Personally, Greggerson's cakes remind me of the cakes I grew accustomed to and absolutely loved as a young child in New Orleans, Louisiana. read more

Their cakes are absolutely delicious! I don't typically like the butter-cream icing on cakes but if I had to choose a butter-cream cake that I would eat, I would choose Greggerson's cakes over any other! The Amaretto/almond style flavor of the icing is like no other and it really balances the flavors of the cake. I will admit, it is a little bit of a sugar overload but the flavor makes it all worth it. The other benefit of slicing up one of their cakes is that they are an El Paso, homegrown, family business. They are so helpful and attentive that it makes you question why anyone would go any where else. They will customize your cake if ordered in advance and even help decide on a theme if you're unsure. If you want to stay local, grab a cake here and you won't be disappointed! read more

Greggerson's Cake Cottage - Happy B-Day Erika!!! - Bakeries Near Me - El Paso, Texas

The first time I had cake from here I was very impressed. My aunt ordered one in April and one in May. Both were absolutely delicious, moist, and the butter cream frosting they used was not overly sweet, just perfect. The smell was immaculate and there is like a hint almond in the frosting. The filling was also good, one was lemon, the other raspberry! They also have smaller cakes, cupcakes, and brownies for sale. It's not a typical bakery, as they specialize in cakes for all occasions. I also liked that the 2nd lady gave us both a free cupcake, when it's only supposed to be 1 free cupcake per order. Great service, very fast, and they do things right. The young man decorating the cake did an excellent job! read more

Let me start off by saying, I have a sweet tooth. I specifically love cake and cake in cup form. I was very excited to try this cake cottage because I have heard many good things. First things first, I wasn't very impressed with the aesthetics of the bakery itself. You walk in and it isn't very welcoming, but almost cold. But need that be, I was there for CAKE. They have cupcakes displayed on the side in packages of 6. I chose the chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. I must say I loved the flower that is decorated out of frosting that is on each cupcake. I eat my cupcakes with a fork, I find it less messy. As soon as I got home, I got my fork and dove right in. First thing that jumped at me : THE FROSTING! The frosting has this amazing lingering almond extract flavor. It is also VERY sweet. But like I said, I have a sweet tooth, so I didn't mind one bit. Now to the actually cake itself... DRY. Very dry unfortunately. This cake is the type of cake that you HAVE to have a glass of milk with. I've had a fair amount of cake in my life, and the only other cake that I had that was that dry, was my own, that I made when I was 8. I give this cake cottage 3 stars because I was disappointed with how dry the cake was , as well as the displeasing interior design of the shop overall. read more

Honestly this place deserves more than 5 stars! Legit one of the best cakes I've EVER tasted!! The smell of the frosting will legit knock you off your feet! The Moistness of the cake is exquisite and presentation suburb. Every slice was like heaven! Best bday cake I've ever had! read more

I live in Florida and had to coordinate a cake for my Grandparents 50th anniversary. My cousin recommended this bakery, and I'm glad she did. Considering the distance they were extremely easy to work with. The estimate for the cake was simple and the design was exactly what I had asked for. I had read from reviews that the buttercream frosting was great and it did not disappoint. I love how the cake turned out. It tasted amazing and was a hit at the party. The cake was moist, filling delicious and buttercream was as advertised! My grandparents loved it. Thank you for your help and making their day special. read more

I was excited to try this place. The lady I ordered the cake with was somewhat helpful. I had never been there and felt a bit lost. The gentleman that was there when I went back to pick up my order was way more helpful. I feel like I would've gotten some better assistance with him. I would definitely like to try the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting next time. I personally did not like the almond flavoring in the white frosting. We all scraped it off and the cake was better without it. read more

Greggerson's Cake Cottage - Beautiful and delicious. Almond flavored frosting, to die for! - Bakeries Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I have been purchasing my cakes from this place for years, I picked up a cake for my daughter's birthday on Friday and the cat or what ever it was looked like road kill. The worst cake I have ever had from there. It was also supposed to be two layers with filling, well that did not happen either. Is this place under new management? I am totally disappointed and I am not sure if I will ever order from here again. The quality of this place seems to be going out the window, it used to be the best in El Paso now I don't think so anymore. read more

Greggerson's made 100 cake push up pops for my daughter's drive thru party/parade. Thank you for making them so yummy!!!!

Very pleased with the cake I ordered. They did a beautiful job on it and it tasted amazing! The gentlemen that gave me the cake upon pick up was super friendly and the woman I spoke with to order the cake was very pleasant as well. I didn't expect such an elaborate, beautiful cake, I had been pretty nondescript and kind of left it up to them when I ordered so it was a very pleasant surprise to see the finished product!!! I was also very pleased with the price. Very good value for what I paid. read more

While their cakes were good quality, their rude service has convinced me to never return. When i tried to order a cake with a custom drawn image for my friend's 21st birthday, the very angrily refused stating that it was copyrighted. When I tried to explain that the image was drawn and not a simple copy, they seemed to not care, eventually just refusing saying they refused to hear any explanation. After such a horrendous experience trying to make my friend's birthday extra special, I will never again use this bakery. read more

I really wanted to love this bakery. I had asked for a recommendation from friends on where to go for a great tasting cake in the Far East area of El Paso, and Greggerson's Cake Cottage came up. I ordered a 9 inch round cake, decorated like a rosebud. Having worked at an upscale bakery for almost 4 years, while in school, I was surprised to hear that Greggerson's does not deal with whipped cream at all. As the gentleman taking my order added, "We're known for our buttercream icing". I thought, "Okay, if they are famous for their buttercream icing, I trust it will be wonderful". Upon pick up, the cake was absolutely beautiful - couldn't wait to taste it. The cake was kept in a walk-in fridge at the venue were we had the party, and when it was time to serve it, many of us were disappointed. The cake was 2 thick layers. I selected 1 chocolate layer and 1 vanilla layer, with Bavarian cream filling. The cake was so thick and the filling so thin, that it just came across as extremely dry. Furthermore, it crumbled as we were serving each piece - there was just no moisture at all to keep it together. The "famous icing" was not something that should be touted. It had a strong aroma and flavor that was not your typical vanilla buttercream. It was heavy in the flavor of almond extract. No doubt the almond flavoring is what sets Greggerson's apart from other bakeries, but either the decorator used too much of the extract or I just have a different taste palette from a lot of the other reviewers. Most of the guests (18 people) scraped off the icing as the flavor was simply not good. The price point for the cake was right on, though. I paid $43 for a custom decorated cake. I thought I was getting a deal as a cake like that would easily be double in Southern California bakeries. I think the work it took to make it beautiful was worth $43, but the cake flavor itself was bland...not delicious at all. All you could taste was almond extract and most of us asked for drink refills at the same time because the cake was so dry. read more
