    Cake

    L.A Sweets has some of the best cake/cupcakes ! Seriously, so moist and decadent! I love their red velvet and the toasted coconut pineapple is incredible! Really cute little shop with the sweetest counter staff. Huge fan!

    If you want to satisfy a major sweet tooth and sugar rush, L.A. (Loretta Alston) Sweets on Lenox Ave & 120th St will satisfy both. Forget about the lemon olive oil cake I saw listed on the Italian menu just two doors down while my daughter treated me for a pre-Birthday dinner before she went back to the West Coast. It was actually the sweet smell of butter, sugar and vanilla notes all mixed together that made us ditch that olive oil cake. This Black-woman owned bakery is touted by locals (and not)- plus it has major star power backing this place up for her cake slices, cupcakes and Vegan options as well. The space is small- but has a bistro-type table and 2 chairs (could probably fit another small table?). I just see L.A. Sweets as grab & go. The options are almost endless. There's a Devil's Food cake slice I couldn't pass up, I wanted to grab a Carrot piece- but they had just come out of the oven- so no, there were Caramel cupcakes topped with both a Caramel square and drizzle and my daughter got the Red Velvet. Charlotte tending the shop the Saturday we came here was super friendly and gave us a Pecan Bun(?) Cake(?)'on her. Thank you so much! The Caramel cupcakes had a nice size, but the cream on top was thick and wayyy too sweet and the cupcake itself wasn't grand-tasting. The Devil's Chocolate slice though- was very dense but extremely moist and chocolate frosting on the outside and between layers, had a nice flavor. I was rooting for more cocoa flavor- but it was tasty and stayed moist the day after. L.A. (Loretta Alston) is known for a lot of things- but baking cakes from scratch and having a moist end result, ranks top I think. Nice cake slices+cupcakes, moistness, a warm oven, sweet smells that linger and tremendous service and hospitality are just part of L.A.'s base.

    Ordered my birthday cake from here a day before my birthday event over the phone . Staff was super sweet . Ordered a classic yellow cake with Chocalete frosting . My boyfriend picked up the cake with no issues . Now let's discuss the cake , let's just say everyone that had a slice at my gathering wanted their information . Thank you so much , will be ordering another cake , matter of fact will be going to get a slice soon .

    Vanilla Slice Cake but as a wedding cake!

    I've been thinking about the best way to thank L.A. SweetsNY and I settled on telling the world how incredible they are. I started as a takeout customer. Those takeout cake slices are a staple at our house. When we decided to get married we knew our cake had to come from this special bakery. They did not disappoint. The cake was BEAUTIFULLY decorated. It tasted incredible. The sweet lady who took our order told us to get that yummy vanilla creme on the side and THAT WAS A HIT! Multiple people have said they dream about our cake. It was the most perfect addition to our wedding. Thank you form the bottom of our hearts L.A SweetsNY

    Red velvet slice

    I'm a fan of sugar. As I child, I would sneak and eat spoonfuls of sugar, which is why I was surprised that I found the red velvet cake way too sugary. The cake was very moist but also dense, and all I tasted was the sugar. I've tried some of their cupcakes, and those were good. After reading so many people raving about the red velvet, I thought I finally found a replacement for Make my Cakes delicious red velvet cake, but this was sugar diabetes type of sweet. I think I need to get some blood work done to make sure I'm not pre-diabetic and I didn't even finish the whole slice.

    My friend went inside and grabbed these cupcakes for us. I'm sorry but they look amateurish 1 star deducted. I also was very disappointed in the small sad looking dollop of cream cheese frosting 1 star deducted. The cake taste was very good, moist and a perfect color of red.

    Mixed up my order twice!‍ I ordered vanilla and one strawberry. Sent red velvet. I am allergic to the dye. Ok so I settled with the Vanilla cupcake. Horrible. The icing looks as though someone dropped a scoop of icing on them and smeared it with a spoon.

    Came to pick up some cupcakes for a birthday today. The bakery is small but has a nice welcoming tone to it. I would say it would've been nice to hear some tunes in the store but it's ok. I got red velvet, dulce de leche and vanilla cupcakes and WOW. Icing was fresh and soft, cupcakes were soft and moist. Sooo delicious. Nayla took care of me and was so fast and friendly. Would definitely come back here. Got 6 cupcakes for $23 which was a reasonable price. The owner was a little busy today but still stopped to greet me and answer my questions. Again definitely a bakery I would visit soon! #Supportblackownedbusinesses
