    Cutest details exactly what I pictured
    Monika B.

    Honestly, I walked into the store the first time yesterday. I was in need of a cake and cupcakes for the next day for my daughter's 9th birthday. Totally last minute which is so difficult. The sweetest husband and wife duo honestly they were so sweet and accommodating. They made sure to get all details of everything so detail oriented. They really went above and beyond and made it so special. Thank you so much for your sweetness, your amazing attitude and amazing customer service. Can't wait for more orders and to refer people to you guys!

    Custom made cupcakes

    I found this place on Google and I contacted them and texted them the picture of the cupcakes that I wanted for my sister and I only really needed four cupcakes so I don't really need that much. It was just more for the decorative and they were so nice and the man that took the order was really nice and helpful. WhenI went to go pick it up, the cupcakes were exactly like the pictures that I've sent to him or even better and the cupcakes even taste really good too they were carrot cake flavor, and it was amazing. My sister really liked it and I highly recommend this place and I will definitely order from here again thank you.

    Very nice cake & pastry shop. I ordered a cake from them kinda last minute and showed them a picture. They were able to completely replicate the photo I sent them and make the perfect cake. I wish the font on the cake also matched the photo but other than that it was perfect. The cake itself was delicious too. Also, the people who own this shop are really kind and genuine. I appreciate them and will definitely get a cake from them again in the future.

    Strawberry cake!

    Idk why this place has a one star. Reasonable price for a cake, the workers were super friendly! This a new spot I highly recommend for people to give it a try! This is a the cake I got ! And the plus the blueberry pie was soooo good I ate it at the store lol

    Custom lion cupcakes

    I ordered custom cupcakes for a birthday party. The price was good, and the man who took my order was easy to work with. I sent some reference photos, and he made suggestions. I was astounded by the quality of the final product, and the taste. I would definitely order custom cakes/cupcakes here again!

    Delicious selection of different types of pastry. Clean location and easy to find out. Parking on the street and back lot. Everything was freshly baked the day I visited. Returning soon to try more!

    Grand Opening! (feat. chocolate cupcake)
    Naira M.

    Came here for the grand opening and I love this bakery! Quaint little bakery with lots of delicious looking pastries. I tried the carrot cake, red velvet, and chocolate cupcakes as well as the sliced chocolate cake, vanilla roulette, chocolate biscuit cake and they were all so delicious! The staff is super friendly and helpful with choosing pastries. Highly highly recommend! I can't wait for them to expand their menu and try some more from them!

    I am so impressed with Lida's Cake and Pastry. I called to ask about a turtle cake for my boyfriend's birthday. The process was quick and I was provided with multiple options for the cake. When I picked up the cake, I was absolutely blown away. It was perfect! I had requested a fondant turtle be placed on top of the cake, and when I arrived there were two turtles! They also had great attention to detail and had done their research on the exact type of turtle (a red eared slider). I couldn't have asked for a better cake. Not only was it beautiful, but it also tasted fantastic! From here on out, I will always go to Lida's for all of my cake and pastry needs.

    Heart Cake

    The customer service here is incredible. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. They made the exact cake I wanted on short notice. The cake was fresh and fluffy, and everyone loved it. Highly recommend this bakery.

    77th birthday cake

    I have been ordering my cakes for all my events from Lida. At every one of my events my guests ask me where the cake is from. My favorite is her white cake with fresh strawberry filling. Lida is so kind and always capable of creating exactly what I ask her. I highly recommend using their service for your events!

    Rice crispy covered in chocolate and decorated as a thanksgiving turkey

    5/5 Stars! A friend recommended this little mom and pop shop and i couldn't be happier. I took the rice crispy and cake pop turkey treats to a thanksgiving party and everyone loved it! Very cute and more importantly very tasty! Friendly service too. Definitely recommend it.

    Thanksgiving cupcakes

    Tried this bakery for the first time for Friendsgiving dinner and I'm so happy with the order. Not only were they super cute, the pastries tasted sooo good! Highly recommend and will be returning!

I was…read morein Pasadena so I went to this location but it's nice to know that have multiple locations around the city. The Pasadena location was nice and spacious and very clean and cute. They have a nice large parking space in the back as well. I went on a Sunday around 6:30 pm so it was pretty empty, which was nice. I think the bigger crowds are earlier in the day. They close at 7 pm so I just made it. Luckily they still had a few cupcakes left and plenty of the cakes left. I decided to get a slice of their old fashioned chocolate cake, and 4 cupcakes to go. I got a red velvet, a chocolate, a vanilla, and a mocha cupcake. Everything was delicious but I have to say that the old fashioned chocolate cake slice was my favorite. They give you a ginormous piece too which is nice when you have that craving. All the cakes were very moist and the buttercream was sweet but not crazy sweet which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience. I can't wait to come back again and run some of their other cakes and cupcakes!

If I didn't move to San Diego, she would still be my consistent cake lady. I absolutely love her! When I first ordered, she had followed-up asking if the cakes were up to par with the taste and if they lasted well. I had to say, not only was it pretty to look at - it didn't taste bad either! Usually it's a sacrifice for one or the other! I've ordered over 6+ cakes with her and will definitely continue whenever I'm in the area. The amount of buttercream flavoring choices and real fruit used inside the cake... you really can't go wrong if you order from Karena!

Karena is incredibly talented. I can't even begin to talk about my wonderful experience. I showed her a few pictures of inspiration and she told me what she could and couldn't do. Once we agreed on an inspiration picture and idea she put my specifications to work and low and behold, an absolute masterpiece! The detail on each part of the artwork was outstanding. The person I gifted it to was ecstatic. If you take a look at each picture printed and cut out perfectly, the teacup molded to the perfect size, each colored detail intricately placed, absolutely every single thing done with prose and care. Talk about a passion for what she does. You absolutely won't be disappointed. Talk about a date, talk about a time, and she will work it out with you. She communicates incredibly quickly and will be sure to make you happy!

    Writing another review because I love this place so much!…read more This year, for my mom's birthday, we decided to try something from their low-sugar series (love how this is an option!). We got the Berry Summer cake for 5-6 people for $138 and it was worth every bite. The cream is so light, the jam was delicious, and the cake was beautiful. Loved the forks, cake knife, and candles that came with the cake. Pickup was super convenient and flexible and ordering was easy (ordered 2 days prior). Highly recommend! Street parking is easy and there are some tables outside.

Warning though, forks are raw edged metal so they feel harsh to the touch. Service 5 star: Nice and easy pickup. Very easy to order online with very fast availability compared to some cake ordering places that require more time. Convenient. Taste of black sesame cake 0 stars: I didn't get a clear description from my family who ate about every flavor profile but I asked if the cake was comparable to a 99 ranch cake my aunt got one year that tasted horrible. My sister didn't even want to answer which cake was worse. So I feel justified to score the cake as 0 in flavor If I didn't want to eat that 99 ranch cake and my sister said this cake was just as bad... Look of the cake: from pervious seasons, the black sesame cake looked really cute! With the spring season, the design changed. I understand the concept but... it's really not that pretty anymore. The green icing looks cheap and the flower on top looks like a weed. Compared to the fruits, nuts, and macaroon decoration from previous season, the design is worse. I bought a cake from Freesia knowing that reviews on Yelp for the taste of the cakes were a hit or miss but my brother-in-law likes black sesame and most of the reviews that mentioned the cake tasting good was of this flavor. I was treating this purchase as an experiment since I was also interested in the mango sago for my husband's upcoming birthday and he likes mango sago. Well, it was a miss. I appreciate the service, convenience, and packaging but an inedible cake is a pass.

Most items are in the $6-7 range. Food: The regular croissant was buttery and flakey. The whipped ricotta hot honey was delicious and also super buttery and flakey. Definitely eat them fresh because it tastes amazing fresh. The cinnamon roll was really yummy and I loved that the frosting wasn't too sweet! Also I loved that the frosting stayed soft/melty even after a few hours later. The apple fritter was on the sweeter side but my toddler loved this one! She loved how soft and fluffy the middle pieces were. My brother tried the spinach artichoke one and he said it was delicious. Overall, this is a solid bakery. The wait time definitely affected my rating. I don't think it's worth waiting if there's a long line. I would probably wait 5-10 min at most. If I'm already in the area I would definitely come back to try more of their savory items. One downside is the parking. They have a shared lot and very few parking spaces. Most spaces are also only 15-30 min parking. They also don't have tables for you to sit, just a few benches in the store.
