Via valencia cupcake (horchata cupcake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting)
Linda M.

Updating my review. Let them eat cake is soooooo delicious. Best place to get cupcakes in Davis. Sign up for a five star reward card to save towards a reward. Everyone who works here is so nice, and the decor is soooo cute. They're very helpful and everything is properly socially distanced. There is tape on the floor six feet apart. Unfortunately, due to covid they have reduced hours. The cupcakes are pretty reasonably priced, $3 for a really good quality cupcake. I used to live in LA, and I'll say it, Candace Nelson come at me. Let them eat cake has better cupcakes than Sprinkles. On this day, there were maybe 9? Different types of cupcakes on display, including some vegan options! I was really intrigued by the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "down by the sea". I really enjoyed the down by the sea frosting. I didn't really taste the mimosa, but both were really quite good. I'd love to try their other selections another time!

Still great! For my birthday cupcake yesterday! Amazing!

The macarons SOOO soft very nice. Enjoyed the frosting on the red velvet cake but the cake was a little too spongey for me but it was still good.

Wedding cake
Kirah C.

We couldn't have had a better experience with Let Them Eat Cake--we absolutely loved our wedding cake in October 2023! Alyssa is such a kind soul and took the time to listen to our vision. She definitely made our dream a reality and was even able to make our cakes gluten free! I highly recommend the little miss sunshine flavor. Plus, we had so much fun doing the wedding cake tasting here.

Very friendly and responsive staff, which I always love. Walked in on a whim with friends and had to buy several things! Mini pumpkin pie- (not pictured) filling was a little loose but shockingly good, although the crust could use a little bit more pre-bake. Very impressed, especially considering majority of the pumpkin pies you can buy are barely mediocre flavorless things. Ferrero-Roche cupcake- gorgeous looking with the gold dust, the cake itself was over cooked enough that I just ate the chocolate mouse filling and the insanely excellently decadent ganache Snickerdoodle- standard doodle, would've liked it a little softer but I'm also unsure when it was baked Oatmeal chocolate chip- not bad, but I probably wouldn't order again. Some other cupcake pictured as well that my boyfriend bought - under the sea? Can't remember name. Regular chocolate chip cookie (not pictured), thick cookie but more on the chewy than soft/gooey side that I prefer. Overall, the goods seem to have an over baked theme going, with the exception of mini pie which probably could've used another minute in oven. Flavor is good and people are very nice, I'll definitely go again and stop in for a latte or something.

Custom Fantasyland Cake
Ari M.

I've been a customer for many, many years. I started visiting the bakery as a student looking for a quiet place to study and then as a new teacher looking for a peaceful place to grade. Now, Alyssa is my go-to baker for any special-occasion cake. She is extremely professional, organized, hardworking, and creative. A true artist, I think Alyssa works best when you aren't too specific with what you want, which allows her creative freedom. When I put in a cake order I usually tell her something general like "Fantasyland vibes for a gal on her 30th" or "Haunted Mansion. Whatever inspires you" and she's able to create something beyond my imagining. Did I mention her cakes are really delicious? Alyssa has been especially wonderful during quarantine. Since I couldn't be with my friends in person on their birthdays, Alyssa crafted and delivered cakes in my stead to Davis, Natomas, and Woodland. In addition, I recently planned a small, socially-distant baby shower and she and her helper came geared up in masks and gloves to set up the entire dessert table! I didn't have to stress getting the event together knowing that Alyssa would be handling all the treats, and she delivered in so many ways! Alyssa is easy to work with; fair with her pricing; socially-responsible; and overall an asset to our community. Please don't hesitate to contact Let Them Eat Cake for your next celebration, or just because.

Green tea Kit Kat, dubliner, and mocha swirl cupcakes
Arti N.

Loved getting cupcakes for birthdays from here when I lived in Davis. They have so many unique flavors but not all are offered year round. I really liked the dubliner and blueberry cheesecake cupcakes. Only caveat is their cupcakes are on the pricier end but I def enjoyed getting them once in a while and I liked supporting this local Davis bakery!

Let them eat cake is delicious! I randomly stopped in here one day and got cupcakes during the Davis Farmer's Market. I saw that Yelp had a coupon for 1 free cupcake if you buy 5, so out I walked with 6 cupcakes! My then- fiancé and I were drooling over how delicious they were. Literally ate 2 in our car parked outside. We decided that we were interested in having Let them eat cake make our wedding cake and desserts. Fast forward a year later and Alyssa created the most beautiful Lemony Snickett semi-naked cake and desserts like we wanted! We heard nothing but good things from our guests and I'll never forget the moment we cut our cake. My taste buds brought me right back to year ago when we ate cupcakes outside of the shop. Thank you soooo much!

I stopped in on my way to celebrate my friend's birthday. I didn't know it was tucked in fraternity row. I enjoyed the ambience of the shop. You could look across and see a farmer's market. I did think there might be cakes and cupcakes but there were only cupcakes. Maybe I arrived to late in the day. Overall the bakery case was somewhat full. The cupcakes were pretty tasty. Downside the frosting was a tad sweet on a couple. I'd go back.

Some of their rotating flavors!

Let Them Eat Cake might be my favorite store in Davis! As a big fan of dessert, I'm always looking to find my new favorite pastry or sweet. After finding out about Let Them Eat Cake, I'm not sure I can find anything better. Right next to Central Park, Let Them Eat Cake has a very simple, unsuspecting exterior. But, upon walking in you're greeted by a beautifully decorated interior and very kind employees. The cupcakes themselves are probably the best cupcakes I've ever had. Of their staple cupcakes, I'm a huge fan of the Down By The Sea and Illegally Blonde. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful. The vegan cupcakes are indiscernible from the traditional ones, meaning they're just as good. Additionally, their vegan cupcakes are made with soy, so if you have a tree nut allergy this place is still allergen-friendly (but be careful of cross contamination). For me, the biggest appeal is their weekly flavors. They have a huge list of cupcake flavors on their website and each week they put out five different flavors (along with the staples: Vanilla, Chocolate, Red Velvet, and Caramel). It's so fun being able to walk in every week and try their new flavors, knowing that each one is going to be so tasty. Overall, Let Them Eat Cake might just be my favorite place in Davis. If you're ever walking downtown or you're even remotely close to the Davis area, I highly recommend visiting!

Walking in, the line was short but the staff took a really long time servicing people. Since it's a 2hr drive from SF to Sac, you know I'm about to bulk buy. The case had a good selection but quite a few were sold out already. Everything looks really delicious but I had to control myself. Almond Croissant $7.50 - I don't remember what this tasted like so it must've been standard. Matcha Croissant $9 - Don't let the price deter you because for $9, you get a big filling croissant and it was honestly so delicious. The dipped part was like a white chocolate matcha and the inside matcha filling was so good. I don't know how but I fridged it and ate it the next day, IT WAS STILL CRISPY! This was the highlight and highly recommend getting it. Blueberry Choux $11 - This was also really good too. The blueberry filling was creamy and delicious. It tasted really fresh. Macarons $2.95 each - Standard stuff. I got a Thai coconut cream and this is a flavor I haven't seen before and recommend trying it! In summary, highly recommend trying this place. It is on the pricier side but if you're like me and don't go to Sac often, I would give this place a try and buy extra!!

I haven't tried their baos or pastries yet, but they do have a limited selection of options that look pretty good. I usually come here for their fruit basket cakes.

I decided to go for the chicken and mushroom congee. (rice porridge.). I also got a green onion hotdog roll to take home with me. To drink, I had a green tea with lemon. The congee was amazing. A rich complex flavor. It had a little bit of ginger in it, you could definitely taste the ginger, but it did not overwhelm the rest of the porridge. The chicken was good, and for the mushroom, they used black mushrooms, which have a deeper flavor than regular mushrooms. So very good. It looked like a small bowl, but I couldn't finish it. Some came home with me, and it reheated very well. It also came with Chinese donuts to put in the porridge. Chinese donuts are a little bit different. They definitely taste like a doughnut, except they are not sweet at all. They are savory donuts, and are perfect to use as a crouton, so to speak. The green tea was very good, and they didn't overdo it with the lemon, and that hotdog roll that I had later, the pastry was delicious with just a little bit of a "chew" to it, they were definitely high-quality hot dogs, and it wasn't just green onion. They had something mixed in, I'm not sure what it was, but it didn't taste raw like green onion can. Just a great lunch. I'll be back. Thanks.

My boyfriend and I finally had the time to come on a Monday (after the gym lol). We ordered a couple of items to try and I'll tell you I was full after a couple of bites and it carried me for the rest of day. We ordered jalapeño cheddar and classic sausage patty, egg, & cheese biscuit sandwich and biscuit 2 pack: blueberry and brown sugar biscuit. While picking up my boyfriend was recommended the cinnamon roll and he caved and got it! We had our pickup time at 7:30, but we showed up a little early and got our food around 7:20. There was a bit of a wait since there were some people ahead of us, so I'd recommend you going a bit earlier than your time just in case you're in a rush. We headed home to try everything. We really enjoyed the biscuits themselves as they didn't leave a dry or grainy feeling in your mouth. They had a good crust while being airy and light inside. The sandwiches were good, but they were anything crazy. Size wise it is small for the price you get, but I get it. It's all house made and fresh. We definitely think the biscuits themselves are the standout. The blueberry and brown sugar biscuits were a sweet tooth's heaven. The cinnamon roll wasn't too sweet either and had great texture and basically melted in your mouth. I never knew about midtown bakery before midtown biscuits so I would definitely come back to check out their other items, while getting those biscuits!

The iced vanilla lattes were really good. The pastries were the highlight. The almond pain au chocolat was perfectly flaky, and the filling was absolutely delicious. The very berry pastry was my favorite. The cream was light, fresh, and had just the right amount of sweetness, and the fruit on top tasted fresh and sweet. The hash brown bread with ham and cheese was very dense and filling, making it a great savory option. I loved the self-serve pastry setup and appreciated how large the bakery selection was. While some items looked a little fresher than others, there was still plenty to choose from, and everything we picked was delicious. The bakery itself was very clean with plenty of comfortable seating, and I noticed they even offer WiFi, making it a nice place to work, catch up with someone, or just enjoy a coffee. It was fairly busy and a little noisy, but there were still plenty of open seats. Parking was also easy thanks to the large parking lot. The only downside was the service. The staff wasn't unfriendly, but they also weren't especially welcoming. I also had trouble hearing the employee calling out completed drinks, so I ended up waiting around 10 minutes. It's possible our coffees were ready sooner, but I didn't want to crowd the pickup area. Our total came to about $30 for two coffees and three pastries, which felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, this was a great first experience, and I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm craving a coffee and pastry.

However, when I bit into my croquette and garlic frank, they were still cold inside. Since I had requested them to be toasted, I expected them to be warm all the way through. I called the store afterward to ask what their standard procedure for toasting items is. The employee I spoke with told me that it "just depends on the worker and how they toast it." That response didn't make sense to me. I would expect there to be a consistent standard for preparing food, especially when a customer specifically requests it to be toasted. the attitude I received came across as very much "I don't care,"
