    Birthday Cake from Karina's Cake House

    This place never disappoints us, been going here since day 1 ! The staff took time to make sure cake is up to standard before parting ways with deliciousness! Thanks again

    Delectable dessert place
    Melody A.

    What better way to say happy new year's eve and ring in the new year than with the most delectable cakes on the East side? The cream puff, the eclair, and the chocolate cakes were all delectable. I couldn't stop eating and the assorted box brought in for my team was a temptation I kept circling back to especially after a 30 hour long call. The cakes were so good I found myself walking around the hospital with cake crumbs smeared across my chin and not a single part of me could feel anything but pure bliss- 10/10 for the most lovely cakes I've had a chance to indulge in. And, these sweet treats were essential for helping me stay awake at the tail end of the call period, I had beeb fighting to stay awake and then the sugar rush hit. Thanks to my kind colleague and Karina's cake house for this awesome discovery of a grand dessert place on NYE! Thanks 2025, grateful for all the food memories of this year, and I look forward to ringing in the new year with our awesome Yelp community!

    The bird's milk and the mikado have me in a chokehold.. these are 10/10 cakes that are seriously so, so good. With the perfect textures and taste with very affordable prices, Karina's Cake House is easily one my my top bakeries to visit!

    I ordered this cake for my husband's birthday. Amazing work from start to finish! The cake looked stunning and tasted delicious. My favorite bakery! Highly recommended!

    Fruit Tart Cake packed w/ fresh fruits & a flaky yet substantial crust to keep it interesting

    Karina's ALWAYS hits the mark! This bake shop has been making our family's birthday cakes & goodies since they graced us with their delectable treats over 2 decades ago! They are all so sweet & personable, whether you're ordering on the phone or in person. The cake shop is often bustling with happy sounds, friendly & excited voices, & tantalizing aroma. They clearly take pride in what they deliver & present beautiful, deeelicious pastries. Heck, I live in OC & I still make sure to get my reeaally special/ important items from Karina's. They have lifelong fans/ customers right here!

    If you're looking for another great cake/ bakery option in the Glendale area other than Porto's (and specifically for CAKES)- try Karina's. They have a Kievsky cake with OR without nuts that's a huge hit at celebrations. There was a line, you take a number and wait to be called- but pretty quick in getting to you. I haven't tried any of the other cakes YET. *The only request I have is for the staff: they can smile a little and be patient while answering questions about their cake selections. They know they're cakes are good, and it won't stop people from buying, but it's nice to have a welcoming attitude , especially for the customers. 7 out of 10 for me (only because of their customer service).

    Kievsky Cake
    Lala A.

    I'm shocked that the quality of my favorite cakes, Kievski and Kutuzov, has declined. On Valentine's Day, I ordered a Kievski cake, and the decor was terrible. You'd think they'd decorate with red strawberries, but all I got was a plain blackberry cake. I had to go out and decorate it with chocolate strawberries and add a love sign to make it more like a Valentine's Day cake. The decor is the least of my complaint considering that when I cut it and shared it with my family, all we tasted was baking soda. I was so disappointed that I threw the entire cake away. A few days later, we decided to try the Kutuzov cake. When we cut it, it was very dry, and the cream was so white that I thought they made it with whipped cream. But it tasted sour and had a strong baking soda taste. When we called the store, the manager said that it's possible that the Kutuzov cake was frozen even though she also said they made it that day. Why freeze it then??? She said to give it time to thaw, but we had guests over at the moment, who wants to wait for the cake to thaw. She also said that they use sour cream, which is why it's sour. When we insisted that the quality of both cakes were not to our expectation, the manager said that we NEED to bring the cakes to their store so they can taste it to see what was wrong with it. They said our tastes can be different. Mind you, I'm the one who paid for these cakes and have been eating them for the last 20 years. Also, it was raining heavily, and we didn't have a car at the time. We just paid heavy delivery fees for Uber to deliver these cakes to us and we have to deliver it back to them??? Not a sign of good customer service. The next day the manager called us and said we will pay for Uber to come and pick up the cake. What? Does she think I have a giant fridge to hold on to something that im not going to eat, I told her the cake went in the trash. What a waste of $90+ for these cakes. We were very disappointed with both cakes and the response we received from the manager of the store. Instead of offering future store credit or some type of compensation, their response was to bring the cakes back to the store. Looks like we won't be returning to Karina's anytime soon.

    Honey Cake Slice and Ideal Slice Pastry
    Melanie H.

    Karina's Cake House offers delicious and beautiful Armenian baked goods. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with well-stocked display cases. The bakery workers were efficient with calling ticket numbers and were okay if we weren't ready to place our order. I opted to try two of their slices: Honey Slice (5/5) - The honey slice is a russian honey cake that pairs perfectly with tea or coffee. The cake is made of a mix of thin layers of cake separated by a thin layer of cream. Ideal Slice (4/5) - The ideal slice was similar in favor to the honey slice but with nuts and slightly drier. It wasn't my favorite but still flavorful.

    Kievsky Cake
    Miguel B.

    I've been getting cakes here for more than 10 years. Ever since I tried their Kievsky cake, it turned out to be my #1 favorite cake. Since 2012 to this day.. still is my favorite. Ended up giving this to my friend for her 30th birthday. She loved it!

    Yummy pastries. Loved the Almond Cookie.
    Krystle G.

    Karina's Almond Cookies is what I will drive to Glendale for. They are so delicious. They are Chewy, not overly sweet, crunch edge, soft cream, and just the perfect taste to eat it with a cup of coffee or by itself as a little dessert. We have tried a few items from here, and every time we visit, the Almond Cookies is a take-home item to share with the whole family. Thank you Karina's Cake House.

    The cake a received
    Maria R.

    I ordered a custom cake for my birthday and what I received looked nothing like the photo. I understand that while you aren't able to make the exact cake from a photo I still expected something quite similar, which from the photos you can tell the colors are completely off. I was further disappointed when they offered no real solution to my dissatisfaction. Mind you I'm a returning customer. I will say the cake itself tasted great but considering how expensive the cake was I expected an overall better experience and customer service.

    3 tier Kievsky cake
    Krissy R.

    We've been a loyal customer of Karina for years, it's prolly our to-go cake for birthdays. When I needed a customized cake for a big event, they were my first thought. I asked for 3 layered cake, Kievsky flavor for all the layers. The size was meant for 100 people. I paid $640 including delivery. It didn't include the floral toppers and birthday sign topper. I needed to bring them a day before the cake delivery. The finished product was how I imagined it to be and it was delivered without any problems. Our guest loved the cake.

    Are they ever going to open again? Passed by today 12/29/18, and it is still under construction.

    Hi yes they are expanding and doing major remodeling and I guess falling behind with their schedule. Definitely coming back though yeyy!

    When is the store reopening?

    I really hope soon! It took longer than they said it would and if they don't open for the holidays, I will be worried.

    Are they open already?

    Yes

    Hello! What are the current menu prices? Especially for the meringue cookies please, thank you!

    Hi, they did some renovations in their shop which I don't know if it affects their prices. It is wiser to call them at (818) 240-6718 so you can have accurate figures. Haven't been back since they renovated few months ago.

    Are they open again? I know they were under construction until August 27th. I tried to call but it goes to voicemail.

    No as of yesterday October 1st, my mum and dad went there to order a cake for my baby shower and the place is still shut down and under renovation, no word on when it will be done. I'm so bummed.

    Can i order now and deliver later?

    You need to give yourself at least a day for availability. Karina's only deliver for special events (like huge cakes) with zero charge if it's within Glendale. If it's outside Glendale I believe they charge per mile. It's better to provide them the… Read more

I happened to be at the tire shop across the street getting the tires changed on my car and needed to pick up some pastries for guests that were coming over that same day. One of those guests happens to be a baker so I really needed to find some fresh delicious pastries. I checked Yelp for nearby bakeries and La Jaconde popped up with really great reviews so I drove right across the street and picked up some baked goods. I picked up this big pastry that was stuffed with cream cheese and sour cherries (TRUST ME you want this), a box of mixed cookies and bite sized goodies, and a box of stuffed dates (don't knock it until you try it). EVERYTHING was fresh. Everything was tasty. And it got the stamp of approval from the baker friend. The cream cheese and sour cherry stuffed bakery literally disappeared in 10 minutes, and that thing was not small by any means. I returned to this same place the following week to pick up some savory baked goods for some friends, and the owner was at the shop and was so kind and so proud of his products (as he should be).
