    I was shopping at the store next door when I smelled the freshly baked gatas and had to stop by and get some. I have been here many times over the years and can honestly say their cakes and pastries are delicious. Always fresh and lots of variety. They are known for their meringue cakes and the gatas. I purchased a box of gatas to enjoy with my coffee. My kids love it too. Customer service was welcoming and friendly. Gohar was helping me with my purchase. She was friendly and patient with me explaining the options. The ambiance is lovely here. Organized and well stocked with delicious things.

    I highly recommend Karina's! They created the most beautiful and delicious cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday, even with a very short turnaround time. Sona is the one who always helps us, and she is truly incredible! She is so kind, helpful, and accommodating, and she always makes the entire process easy and stress-free. I've been coming to this bakery since my engagement party, and they continue to be part of so many special moments in our family's life. Thank you, Sona, for going above and beyond and for helping make Layla's birthday so special. The cake was absolutely perfect!

    Delectable dessert place

    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!

    We always buy cakes here on birthdays. And we always take the cakes with us. Great place, everything is always tasty and fresh. They can make an inscription on the cake for free. There is everything you need for a holiday, different candles and postcards

    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).

    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!

    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
    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.

    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

    Custom made Kievsky walnut cake
    Suzie S.

    I ordered this custom cake with kievsky walnut filling and I was extremely pleased. Gohar perfected the design I requested and the cake itself was delicious. I buy the ready made Kievsky frequently and I must say that this custom Kievsky was even more delicious. Our guests kept commenting on how delicious it was.

    Yummy pastries. Loved the Almond Cookie.

    Which nuts are incorporated in the meringue layer of the regular Kievsky cake? And what type of buttercream is used (French, American...?)

    Is the Kievsky cake available in a smaller size?

    It only comes in 1 size, i wish it did too

    Do they sell pre made birthday cakes?

    Yes! They are delicious

    What nuts are in the beze?

    Walnuts

    What are the Holiday Hours?

    Do I need to preorder a standard (no special design) Kievsky cake? I don't want to walk in the same day I need it and they sell out. TYIA

    You do not need to pre order their Kievsky cakes...they always have plentiful cakes available when you walk in. Keep in mind they may or may not have a particular design or flavor but they will always have one available. Don't wait until closing… 

    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 now?

    Just called, answering machine says it's still closed for renovations.

    Are they open now?

    Yes, they are.

    Are they open?

    Yes

    Are they open and back in business?

    Yes

    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…

Got here in the evening. Parking appears limited where I was parked, but I know there are more parking at the town center. Anyway, I got lucky with a close parking spot. No inside seating. Just a couple tables and chairs outside. They weren't super busy at the time. I was the only person in line. This is my 2nd time trying Bruster's. My first time was at their Rancho Cucamonga location. Nick, the staff member who helped me, was very nice and helpful. I asked for recommendations on their best flavors. He graciously offered them. Thank you Nick! I got to sample a handful of flavors... Boston Cream Pie, Sea Salt Caramel, Death By Chocolate, Caramel Macchiato, and Cinnamon. Thanks for the samples! All the flavors were very good except for the Cinnamon which I thought was very light in taste. Since I was driving, I chose an ice cream shake instead of a cup or cone. Caramel Macchiato was my pick! It had a really nice caramel flavor with coffee bean bits. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't pile up the ice cream to the top of the lid. It stopped at the top of the cup. I felt I was shorted some ice cream unfortunately. Hence, 4 stars! Nevertheless, Nick was amazing. His service was fantastic. Wonderful conversation and experience. Ice cream shake was yummy. It was finished before I arrived home. YES, I will come back to try their other unique flavors! Thank you Bruster's!

Seating is available inside and there's even a few tables outside but this place is so popular that all the seats are always taken. Be prepared to take your desserts to go.

Her mother texted asking if we could bring pastries. It was after 6 p.m., so I turned to trusty Yelp to see what might still be open between Montrose and our destination. This bakery came up, so we stopped in to give it a try. One gentleman was minding both the bakery and the liquor store next door. It wasn't that busy at either place, but he did have to run between the two. He let us know that he'd be right with us, so we had time to look around. The baked goods cases were about half full at 7:00 at night. The man helping us didn't really know anything about the fillings of some of the items that weren't self-explanatory. He got our selections packed up nicely, but it would have been helpful to be able to get more info about some of the cakes/pastries. SG (age 5) boldly chose a cream puff for herself. I wasn't sure if she would like it, but once we got to her house she happily scarfed down half of it, saving the other half for the next day. Dear Hubby and I picked several layers cake pieces, and I added two chocolate-filled cookies. He went for a cannoli, of which they had several options of fillings. I think our daughter and son-in-law made out the best, as we weren't sure what they would like so we got them some Black & White cake, honey cake, espresso cake, and some of the chocolate-filled cookies. It was a dessert-tasting feast to wind up the weekend when we arrived at their place.
