We attended a friend's birthday party this weekend and Jen's Cakes provided two gorgeous and delicious tasting cakes. The first cake was a banana flavored white cake and the 2nd a chocolate cake with bananas and whipped cream filling. I love chocolate, so you know I especially loved the chocolate cake. So good...highly recommend. read more

I chose Jens Cakes because of the wonderful and freakishly talented Shavon!!! Not only did my wedding cake need to be Gluten-Free, but we had a black/white marble theme, AND we can't stand fondant, and wanted buttercream frosting. Shavon is AMAZING!!!!!! YOU COULD NOT TELL THIS CAKE WAS GF!!! Everyone at the wedding was raving about how good this cake was. Thank goodness we took the top layer off after cutting it, bc it was completely GONE before we could get a slice!! It should have fed over 50 people, and there was only 42 people there!!! (I think I know who went back for 2nds or 3rds lol) In fact, the cake was so delicious, I have to order another small one for the Mr and I, so we have something to eat on our 1 year anniversary. We were SUPPOSED to put our third tier in the freezer...but it's so freaking good, we can't stop eating it!!!! Now, onto how gorgeous the marble buttercream frosting turned out!!! I don't know if it was more beautiful, than delicious!! Seriously!! I can add a pic, but it won't do this work of art the justice it deserves. I can't show you how good it tastes, because 1) I don't know you. 2) There isn't anymore!!! Shavon is the sweetest, hardest working, incredibly funny, most generous person I've met in a very long time. I will be going to her (and HER ONLY) as long as she will be local!!! And who knows..if she leaves the area, I just might stalk her. Sorry Shavon, your fault!!! Addicting cakes!!!!!! read more

The service alone deserves 5 stars. I emailed Jen about ordering a half and half cake. Because I anticipated the answer I asked if it'd be OK to order 2 different cakes so she can use it to make it a half an half. Although a strange request but Jen was able to accommodate my request. After a day in Santa Cruz we came by to pickup the cake in the afternoon on a Saturday. It is easy to miss because you will not see this bakery from the street... just follow your GPS or make sure you stop when following the address sequence down Lincoln Ave. Shortly after picking up the cake I had Tess blow out the candles and make a wish. As we were cutting the cake, I made sure to cut it completely in half so we can see the inside. The red velvet and the cookies and cream are decadent, smooth, and not overly rich. now that I'm older I appreciate sweet treats w/o making me feel sick after eating it. Both kids enjoyed the cake very much. I'd definitely order from Jen again. Oh, if you are wondering what happened to the other 2 halves, I had it boxed for consumption. It was so nice of them to ice it and decorate the second cake. read more

I don't normally post 2 star reviews but we were honestly just so disappointed with our cake. We chose Jen's cakes because the pictures looked great and they said they could do a shaped cake. I'm not a cake expert but the design felt relatively simple and we contacted them weeks in advance. You can see in my photo what we were expecting and what we got. Yes it *technically* was a round shape with a face, but it just felt so distorted (bizarrely tall, no dimpling at the top, eyes and smile placement is off, no blushy cheeks). My husband said it looked like Jack from Jack in the Box, I thought it looked like a snowman head. The only good thing was the raspberry cream cheese filling. We chose chocolate faustine as the cake flavor, which was described as a creamier chocolate. I don't know what it was supposed to be like, but our cake texture was just really dense and kinda dry. We splurged and paid $140 for this 7" round cake (for context, this cost half of what I paid for my wedding cake which was for 100+ guests!) because we wanted something special for our baby's first birthday. We really had higher hopes :( Giving 2 stars because the staff/people were nice. read more

My sister chose to purchase her wedding cake from Jen's Cakes. We first arrived for the tasting about 4 or 5 months prior to the wedding. I attended along with the Bride, and my nephew. We were greeted immediately upon entering (the location is kind of funky and parking is awful nearby). We were given one plate with about 8 samples on it. We tried and tested each one - wish we had coffee to go along with that much cake in the morning. We ended up choosing something with raspberry, and something with green tea. There were some slight issues the days before the event with my sister's succulent decorations but it wasn't anything earth shattering. The cake ended up being lovely and the green tea was BOMB. Moist, soft, delicious goodness that was devoured by the bridal party a day later. I would recommend Jen's business to any brides and grooms who are looking for a pretty simple and easy wedding cake experience. read more

Jen's Cake made a cake for my sister's 50th Birthday. I live in the UK and wanted to order a special cake as I could not join her for her big day. Shavon was very very helpful and kind.She suggested me the flavours to go with as I wanted to order chocolate cake. Angel was very prompt in replying to my emails and helped me organise things even at a short notice of 3 days. The delivery was spot on time .Thank you! The cake was a masterpiece and my sister was ecstatic when she received it. She said it tasted one of the best cakes she has ever eaten,I wish I was there to share this with her. I am sure it is now in her go to bakery to order cakes for special occasions. Thank you so much for helping me make her Birthday so special from such a long distance. I would give 5 stars to Jen's Cakes and would throughly recommend. Thanks you once again to Shavon, Angel and the gentleman who delivered the cake. read more

Wanted to get a birthday cake for my baby turning one year old, but she is allergic to dairy and eggs and has eczema, so they has agreed to bake my daughter an eczema friendly vegan cake! It turned out wonderful!!! They also let you rent their cake stands. and do other desserts if you have a dessert spread. We opt in for their cute pink macarons with edible gold garnish. read more

One month before my daughter's 1st yr bday I was scrambling to find a custom cake bakery. I usually use Marvel Cake in Campbell who I used in previous years for my eldest daughter's bdays. But sadly they were not responding to my order request this year. It must have been too short of a notice. Anyway, I heard about Jen's Cakes from a close friend. On yelp, the pictures of their cakes looked amazing and equivalent to the ones at Marvel Cake so I reached out for two birthday cakes for 2 different bdays (for my 2 daughters). This is when I discovered that Jen's Cakes was now under new ownership and the new owner's name is Shavon. She confirmed with me that she received my pictures and she said that they would be able to make the cakes as shown in the pics. The two cakes requested: 1) the little mermaid cake for my 4 yr old and 2) traditional Korean- inspired cake for my 1 yr old. 1 week before the first cake pick up, I got a phone call from Shavon who said that she could not use or make Disney characters on the cake due to copyrights and stated that I would need to buy a cake popper by Disney. Then I told her no need to make it "Disney" and to use any mermaid decoration. (At this point I should have looked up pictures and send one to her to replicate). On the day of pickup at 9 am, Shavon was running late and asked if I wanted my daughter's name on the cake and I responded yes. She had other excuses why she was late and she stated that she had been very busy blah blah and that her decorator missed something. I was empathetic towards her and told her not to worry. However, when the cake was presented to me, I was a bit disappointed at the product. I was expecting something beautiful as the cakes that I have received in the past. The decoration overall looked tacky and cheap. Also the name was just hand traced with the frosting like they do at the grocery store. But I accepted the cake because it might be something that a 4-year-old would still be impressed by --the mermaid tail, vertical twisted sea plant, and little sea shells. To be honest, I thought that it was a cake that someone decorated for a school project. It did not look professional. On the 2nd day for cake #2, I get a text at 8:21 am that my cake would be ready for pickup at 11 am, instead of the already established pick up time of 9 am. I live almost an hr away and the party was supposed to start at 12 pm. The text also did not apologize or acknowledge any inconvenience that this delay may have caused. So I was a bit annoyed by that. Finally, at 11 am, I went to pick up cake and the cake was presented to me. I was in shock. It looked nothing like the cake in the picture. As she was showing me the cake and pointed at this white flower on top of second tier, she said that she knows that it does not look like the flower in the photo but stated that it was 25 dollars (as if that would make it ok that she didn't follow my picture?). The flower looked strange too as if it was missing something. It looked like a blank canvas that should have been colored. It was ugly and I wanted to cry. It was not the fact that it looked so different from the picture that it was upsetting me so much. It was poorly designed. I have no cake decorating skill but I probably could have made it better. There was no skill in the creation. I probably should have refused to take the cake and asked for reimbursement in that moment in time but It was already the day of the party and I was running late. Maybe I could have just stopped by Safeway and picked up a cake that did not look hideous. I sent a text to Shavon and expressed my dissatisfaction. She said that she loved the cake and thought that the cake looked exactly like the picture which tells me that she does not have an artistic/aesthetic eye; she has no attention to detail. I will post photos of cakes below of what I asked for and what I got from her. She did ask how she can fix the situation but there was really nothing that she can do on the day of the bday and she already delayed my time by 2 hrs. I had to resend the same pic that I already emailed to her initially. And then she starts to acknowledge the differences, specifically about the flowers, between pic and product. She started to blame the print of the picture as to why they made a cake that looked so different. She then proceeds to saying that the client should bring in the flower. Then i said, you should have communicated with me, before the day of the pickup! Then excuse after excuse... that she is new at the business, she's short-staffed etc. it was very poor business etiquette. Customers don't want to hear that you're a mess and do not have it together. If you want a beautiful custom cake and you're spending $$$, go elsewhere because you're not going to get it here read more

Let me save you some time. If you're looking for a cake that looks as good as it tastes, and they taste amazing, look no further. Seriously. Now the in depth version for the doubters. I work at a local business in San Jose and everyone in our office has everyone else's birthday marked on their calendars. Not because we are all looking forward to buying gifts. Simply put we are looking forward to a cake from Jen's Cakes. Although we all have our own favorites we really don't mind taking a slice or two from all the cakes because they are all amazing. From the white chocolate, the confetti to the red velvet, they all look great and ,oddly enough, we never have left overs. Once the office knows someone on our team is having a birthday people we haven't seen for days start to mysteriously swing by until they just happen to spot whatever masterpiece Jen's has created for us. So yes, do yourself a favor and buy a cake here but be forewarned it won't be your last. read more

After many hours of scouring the Santa Clara, San Jose, Sunnyvale and Palo Alto geographical areas for a reputable bakery, my now wife and I decided to pick Jen's Cakes for our wedding cake. This proved to be the absolute correct decision. From the first phone call, to the private tasting and finally the moment we devoured the cake at our reception dinner; everything was flawless. Sarah, was an extremely knowledgeable and personable woman who assisted us the whole way during the delightfully amazing experience. The cake tasting was a wonderful private encounter for my then fiance and I. We ended up choosing a naked style Chocolate Bailey's Cake with White Chocolate Mousse & Toffee Filling topped with Butter Cream Icing. It had us at first bite. Second bite. It still has us. There were no hiccups, issues or delays with our cake. It was finished on the exact timeline provided to us and even met our strict timeline needs when most bakeries wouldn't. Sarah was there communicating with us every step of the way and even let me borrow a cake stand when I picked up our beautiful finished cake. I can't say enough how happy my wife and I are with the experience we had with Jen's Cakes. (It's a bit hard to find and hard to park, BUT WELL WORTH IT!) We will be using Jen's Cakes again in the future anytime we need a trustworthy baker who delivers a stunning cake. Thanks again, Sarah! -Zackary and Annmarie read more

We called them in a panic since the cake wasn't where we were expecting and they helped us get everything figured out right away. Turns out it was in a fridge and they had delivered it right on time!

Overall, the cake was fine. I thought the design could have been a little better (the gold flakes looked slapped on) and for an extra $25 I asked for some live greens on the side, but it was plastic (and clearly looked plastic). We asked for a 2 tier cake with the top as red velvet and cream cheese, the bottom was vanilla with raspberry filling. The red velvet was very, very dry. The raspberry filling was just a tiny bit, nothing like I imagined. Overall, it was fine but just could have been better. read more

Received so many compliments, On the tuxedo birthday cake! My baby boy now two years old. It was the best cake, I was told! We found Jen's cake of course on Yelp! There are so many people, Who vote for them, their voices helped, And cake was what we needed! The Sea explorer - party theme, For our baby toddler. He loves to swim, to the extreme! So Sea theme was in order! Blue water cake, six inches tall, With octopus and fishes. Crab on the sand, the algae, all, Was perfect composition! Eighth inches wide, it was good size. Enough for twenty people! So our choice was very wise! No bigger cake was needed! Inside the sponge was very moist, And fluffy, like a cloud! That's what our guests enjoyed the most! Cake was success - I'm proud! Our friends suggested other place, But they would charge us double! For same size cake, for goodness sake! It's a cake, not a resort for couples! If I could give 10 stars I would! The bakery's amazing! The price and quality were good! I'm highly recommending! read more

My husband and I did some research looking for someone to make our wedding cake. We weren't looking for anything fancy or elaborate. We wanted simple and elegant. We found Jens cake on Yelp. From beginning to the end of our experience (the day of our wedding) was a fantastic.' Jennifer was always prompt in returning our calls and emails. We made an appointment to do a cake tasting, which I highly recommend. We ended up picking something we never would have if we didn't do the tasting. Our wedding cake was gorgeous and very us. We decided on the raspberry filling with white cake. (I don't recall all the details, name of it or frosting) Our wedding cake and cupcakes were a total hit. We got rave reviews from our guests wanting to know where it came from. By far the best cake I've ever had! I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary to have a small one made. :) Her prices are very reasonable and her final product is well worth every penny! She's very talented and we look forward to ordering cakes in the future. Thanks Jennifer and team! Your the best! 9/14/19!! Jen and team knocked it out of the park again!! Our daughters bday cake was absolutely perfect! The outside was so adorable and the inside was the same cake flavor we had at our wedding! It was so yummy read more

Should have written a review for this place a while ago but it's always seemed to slip my mind. Customized fondant cake: top layer was vanilla and bottom layer was chocolate with cookies n cream filling. Paid extra for the edible Ace/King of Spades. Ordering the cake over the phone was a breeze. Great customer service and very easy to talk to. They took my payment right over the phone so I didn't have to go all that way prior to simply picking it up. Cake was stunning and did its job regarding the whole 'WOW-factor'.... Unfortunately the cake was dry and the filling didn't taste like cookies n cream at all!! This was my first time ordering fondant and didn't realize how thick and overbearing the taste was. FYI- from what I hear: I got ripped off by what they charged for my cake. MuLtipLe friends ordered customized fondant cakes elsewhere- some two tiered- and paid a fraction of what I did. (just something to keep in mind, do your research) read more

My wedding was in July 2022 and I hired Shavon in Dec 2021 to do my naked wedding cake. I did a cake tasting with Shavon and due to Covid-19 it was supposed to be picked up to be tried at home. We had an appt to pick up our cake tasting and when the day came, the store wasn't open, no one answered the phone when we called to find out what was going on no one answered. I sent an email directly after driving home (we wasted 40 minutes driving back and forth) to Shavon and received no answer for 2 days. When we finally received an answer through email, there was no explanation as to why no one was there for our scheduled pickup that we already paid for. Jen's Cakes was recommended by our venue & our planner so we were very disappointed and stressed out by this experience - I'd like to note that I believe the owner has changed so these recommendations don't reflect the current ownership. After we finally were able to pick up our cake tasting we still decided to go with Jen's but this isn't where the issues ended. After agreeing on tier's, sizing and flavor's we confirmed with Shavon and though everything was good to go! A month before our wedding we received notice from our planner that they had not been able to get in contact with Shavon to confirm details of delivery. This was very alarming as there was definitely not enough time for us to get a new cake and mind you we're getting automated payment reminders from her to pay for the cake. Eventually our planner heard from her and was asked questions like "will the bride want the cake to be decorated" and "what flavors will each tier be". I'm not sure why this is even a question 1 month before my wedding when I sent clear inspo pictures and asked in December if she could do the exact cake in my images and she said "yes" and asking about each tier should've happened when we selected the type of cake. I was very disappointed at this point and just asked for a plain cake to move on with this. Overall, I received a semi-naked cake that looked fine with florals from my florist (which was fantastic) but if you're a bride and don't want to be stressed out then I would take caution prior to selecting Jen's as your wedding cake vendor. read more

Get ready to wait, this place is popular for a reason. Izumi is one of my main go-tos for matcha…read more Their drinks strike a good balance of highlighting the natural, grassy/earthy taste of matcha without it being too sweet. Although my go-to is the honey matcha latte, you can honestly just throw a dart and be pleasantly surprised each time (I've done this about 5 times already). This time, I got the yuzu matcha tea. SUPER REFRESHING! Tart, citrusy and with the earthy matcha, the drink was a great pick me up. I recommend getting this if you can't have whole milk and wanna try something new! My partner got the soft serve and the flavor of the matcha cuts through very well- you won't be disappointed if you're a matcha lover. The line is long, but our orders always come out fairly quickly (around 10 minutes) after we order. I think it's long because others are debating what to pick at the kiosk. But alas, good luck finding parking! My partner and I always have to park on the street side of the plaza and walk over because we can never get a spot.

We went on Friday at 4 pm and it wasn't busy at all so we got our drinks pretty fast. The store was…read morealmost empty at this point. The store looked kind of dead and did not have a lot of tables + seatings except the long bench. There's plenty of parking spaces since it's in a plaza. We got 2 of the creme brulee matcha swirl due to the hype of this drink. The cream was extremely thick and just for my preference, it was too much. The matcha was not as strong to balance the sweetness and decadency of the cream. We ended up letting it melt a bit so we can drink the matcha without having to eat chunks of the cream. If you like your matcha thick, then I recommend this drink! It was just not up my alley unfortunately.

Each ingredient tasted fresh and added a different texture. I would definitely get the Ha Noi Mist again. I ordered online and I was grateful to see the pricing was the same. Pick up was super easy. I opted for ice on the side because I wasn't having my che until later, but unfortunately the ice froze into one big chunk in my freezer so I might just have them put the ice in the drink next time. I think price might be the only sticking point. The che is about 50% more expensive than Bambu or other Vietnamese dessert spots. I can absolutely see why their products are more expensive and totally think the quality of their dessert drinks surpass Bambu or similar dessert cafes. At the same time I have to acknowledge that I can order a che ba mau at another dessert spot and have my craving satisfied for less money. For me, this makes Co Ba a special treat that I wouldn't be able to have all the time.

One queue was for online orders (recommended by the bakehouse) and the other was manned by an attendant with a tablet and a printed menu. Parking wasn't a hassle this time as there were plenty of spots. Add the fact that we were now familiar with Vietnam Town. We got our usuals with choux (Kaya and Ube), Pandan-Coconut Milk Bread and Banh Bo (honeycomb cake). The mention worthy Guava filled Mochi Cake was so good! A yummy tip that elevates this baked good was when I toasted it (4 minutes) in an airfryer. The crunchy surface with the chewy mochi texture plus the sweet guava stuffing was the perfect ratio I was looking for in a dessert pastry.

It was an odd combination of flavors. It wasn't burnt but tasted like it/bitter and heavy on the butter. I would come back for the bánh bò for sure though!

I wished it had more toppings or something inside that was sweeter, but mostly it just tasted like chalky cocoa powder. Not very sweet and not in a good way. I usually wouldn't get this flavor and would get fruit so maybe that makes the difference. Was it the worst? No. The shave ice part was delicate and the portion was what you would expect. But I wouldn't attempt any chocolate ones again if I did come back here. It's lacking something. As for the inside, it's a spacious place with plenty of seating which is nice, although the music feels a little loud. The service is pretty straight forward here as you can order from a kiosk or up front, and there are screens that show which order number is finished around the restaurant. The bathroom was clean. Overall, wouldn't say it's bad but I'm not sure if I can recommend.

The mochi balls, weren't very soggy and they had the perfect chewiness to them. The mango sorbet was nice and creamy even thought was perfect. It was absolutely delicious. Perfect summer dessert. People working there were very friendly and patient when I asked them numerous questions about the menu. They made good recommendations after they figured out what I would like. It's a cute little store with enough seating for 20 -30 people. It's has a fresh nice and sunny feel and I love the ambience with the mango decor.

Bingsoo is popular nowadays, but I don't see many around Campbell, so this was a nice surprise to find on Yelp. The parking is ample and shared in a plaza with apartments and other businesses. Even though it was cold outside, the store was full. Almost every table inside was taken. The space itself was decently clean, although a bit cramped because of how crowded it was. Our group ended up sitting outside since a lot of the larger tables indoors were occupied by only one or two people. You can grab your own chairs by the bathroom if you have a big group. I liked that menu was extensive. Besides shaved ice, they also had boba, tea, ice cream, and taiyaki. We waited maybe around 10 minutes for our order. We checked out a couple of games available near the front for customers to borrow. We shared one large mango cheesecake shaved ice and one medium Biscoff shaved ice. Mango cheesecake - This was AMAZING. My first bite tasted like heaven. The flavors worked together so well and the cheesecake wasn't overly sweet. The mangoes were ripe and sweet. Biscoff shaved ice - I enjoy Biscoff in general, but this didn't compare to the mango cheesecake at all. It was too sweet and more icey/watery. Chamomile tea drink -This paired nicely with the cold desserts. It was warm and refreshing at the same time. I almost never order nor see chamomile tea on menus so this was cool. One note: there was a water station available, but the cups were SO small. Maybe 2-3 gulps of water per cup. I wish they were bigger. Overall, I enjoyed coming here for dessert after our big dinne I think this is a nice addition to the Campbell.

Is Izumi matcha worth the hype?…read more I have been to Izumi matcha over ten times at this point and remember first trying it in their original location in the silver creek area of San Jose before the matcha boom. Prior this place was unique and delicious, and really hit a spot. I believe that now with the various matcha spots around, it may not have as much as of unique selling point. Their tornado matcha is good and sweet, and is a great dessert however in my personal opinion, their traditional drinks are not standouts. Last week I went with a friend and ordered a matcha oat latte with a double shot, and while I tasted the matcha, it was grainy and didn't really have any depth. I wouldn't say I would avoid going here, for a matcha option and to get caffeinated for the day. It is still an option but I feel like it wouldn't be fair to say it's worth driving over 30+ minutes here. As a note too, this location can get extremely busy in terms of parking! The plaza is popping with heavy hitters. Service was fine as they do the self service kiosk with pick up being less than 5 minutes (no big lines), and the store itself is small with no seating outside but plenty of plaza seating outside.

Each drink is hand-whisked, so well worth the wait. Their cold foams were delicious and super flavorful as well. I was so excited to try the mango sticky rice matcha, as I hadn't seen this flavor anywhere else. The drink has a creamy salted coconut milk cold foam on top and some mango puree and glutinous rice on the bottom. Once everything was mixed, the mango flavor does get lost unfortunately. But still, the drink was amazing and rich. The guava li-hing matcha was sooo vibrant! I loved how the tropical flavor of the guava cold foam sprinkled with li-hing balanced out the earthy matcha. I've tried other guava matchas with guava puree on the bottom rather than cold foam on top, but I definitely prefer the latter to preserve the matcha flavor. The employees were kind and we came on a weekday afternoon with a short wait. Order at a kiosk. Limited seating inside.
