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

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!

First time coming here 2 weeks ago on a Sunday morning, was surprised this place is close to home &…read morenever knew about this place. I called asking if they had bolillos and was told they did. They stated they make them fresh every day & indeed were soft and delicious. They don't have a huge selection/variety of bread but emphasize in a great selection of Mexican bread. I wonder if they make doughnuts & were just none when I went but having doughnuts would be a big attraction. They also have jello in cups, cake pops & make cakes that I will be definitely coming back to try their Mexican bread & the other goodies they have. I appreciated their friendly customer service, taking precautions with covid, & being nice & clean. Thank you!! SPANISH TRANSLATION: Vine ase 2 semanas en un Domingo en la mañana, esta soprendida que este lugar está cerca a mi hogar y nunca supe. Llame para preguntar si tenían bolillos y me dijieron que si. Les pregunté si los asen frescos todos los días y me dijieron que si. Cuando los probé estaban deliciosos y suavecitos! No tienen una selección grande de variedad de pan pero de lo que lo vi se enfocan en pan mexicano. Estoy curiosa de saber si asen donas por que no avía cuando fui. Yo creo que si abría donas sería una atracción grande. Tienen gelatina en vaso, bolitas de pastel los "Cake pops", y asen pasteles que definitivamente regresaré para probar todo eso y el pan mexicano. Aprecio su servicio al cliente bueno, tomando precauciones por tiempo de covid, y que estaba limpio. Muchas gracias!!

Sweet Oven is one of my go-to spots for amazing Vietnamese coffee and matcha (although the…read moremacaroons and croffles should not be overlooked). Their coffee offers the strong, bold flavors of traditional Vietnamese coffee while also introducing fun and interesting variations, the honeycomb and fish sauce coffees being some of my staples. More recently I tried their seasonal jasmine matcha and persimmon matcha - both are delicious, with the persimmon matcha being one of the best matchas I have ever had. Service is quick and friendly, and accommodating to dairy substitutions. SWeet Oven shares space with the Sandwhich Spot, making for a clean cafeteria feel. Highly recommend this spot for your coffee/tea/sweet needs.

The people are friendly and knowledgeable if you have questions. It's family owned. Finding it is annoying because it's in a larger corporate building and shares the space with the sandwich spot. There's plenty of parking around the area, but only a few spots right in front of the entrance. Full review: Been coming here for a little over a year. Tried almost all of their drinks, cookies, and macrons, including several of their rotating specials. I've also had their savory croffle and it was delicious. This place is BY FAR the best matcha/coffee shop I've ever had. If you are a Dutch bros or Starbucks person, you may not love it. This place is not about dumping sugar into all their drinks. Flavor comes first, sweetner is secondary. Food/Drink: I'm not the coffee drinker, my partner is, and he rates his favorite as follows: 1. Pistachio Latte 2. Fish Sauce (it has a strong caramel flavor with a little saltiness, no fish flavor) 3. Cookie Butter 4. Black Sesame He's tried every coffee on the permanent menu and these are his favorites. Now for the Matcha/Teas. I can't pick a favorite, because they're all perfect. Not too sweet, and whatever the flavor, it stands out! For example, when they had a pistachio matcha, I watched them crush pistachios for my drink specifically. The flavor was so strong and they clearly know what they're doing picking these flavor combos, because it was excellent. I also love the banana matcha, the banana pudding matcha, the mango matcha, and the double matcha. But the star is the mango sticky rice matcha. I've only had it twice because it's a WHOLE MEAL in a drink. It's delicious and unique and the flavors are outstanding. It actually has all the ingredients of mango sticky rice, including cooked rice. It's amazing!! My personal favorite drink, that I've got the last 10 times I've visited is the black sesame hojicha. It is seriously the best drink I've ever had. Right now, I think they only have the double black sesame on their menu, but I've asked for this every time since it was on their specials menu and they still make it. The cookies and macrons and AMAZING. The s'mores cookie is my absolute fave and the damn crème brûlée macron is in my top 10 desserts of all time. The savory croffle is also a surprisingly good breakfast choice. I honestly thought there is no way they could be doing all of this well, but they don't put anything on the menu that isn't delicious and well made. Service: We've been here so many times that we've been lucky enough to talk to both the husband and wife that own the place. They are so damn creative and come up with the flavors for not only the drinks, but the pastries. They are both very nice. There are a few people working the registers every time we visit and they are helpful if you have questions and they're quick to get these drinks out even though they basically prep the ingredients fresh for each drink. Location/parking: This place is a pain to find. It is across the parking lot from the bank entrance, sharing a space with a sandwich spot. There are a few parking spaces in front of the store, but the parking on the main street is free. There is a lot of seating inside and large tables for big groups. There are even plug in areas at the bar like seating along the windows. Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays or it would be the perfect study spot.
