    Enzo cake, yum
    Caterina B.

    I decided to get the Enzo (Dubai chocolate kind) cake for my birthday, and I was so happy with my decision! I have rarely ever finished a birthday cake so fast, and with so much joy! I will be getting more cakes from Lilou! The lady is super kind, very responsive, and the cake is so worthy, plus it comes very elegantly presented. I am usually hesitant to order cakes, as I usually prefer to bake my own, but this one "takes the cake " I can't wait to order again from Lilou!

    Beautiful packaging
    Bella S.

    Overall, a very good experience with a home-based bakery. I would give it 4.5/5!!! Service and communication from beginning to end was fantastic - friendly and responsive. Kudos for this "amateur" bakers (as they call themselves) for putting their goodies out there for others to try. I think it's a wonderful idea. Their cakes are definitely unique and have not been seen anywhere else. It's always nice to try something unique and support local, private businesses. My partner and I decided to try their cakes in celebration for the New Years. Love the packaging - very professional-like! 1. Pistachio Brooklyn Cheesecake (5/5) This is a seasonal cake that we had the opportunity to indulge in. It's rich (from the pistachio butter) and creamy, but not overly sweet. They were extremely generous with the pistachios that were packed on top of the cake. The cheesecake itself was smooth and airy. The crispy kadaifi (shredded phyllo dough) were like crunchy fireworks in the mouth. 2. The Hobie Coffee cake (3/5) This came was unique to say the least. I love the coffee flavor and that it's light/airy, but overall, it felt more like eating a wafer than a cake. It's mostly dry cake crumbs and crunchy hazelnut meringue. Love the touch of coffee beans on top! 3. The Enzo Cake (3.5/5) This was the most aesthetically pleasing of the 4 cakes we got. It's their version of a decadent chocolate cake topped with a pistachio butter filling and crispy toasted kadaifi (shredded phyllo dough), finished with a layer of crackable chocolate disk Overall, this cake was chocolatey and crunchy, but yet sweet and sticky. We felt it was bit too complicated with too many flavors going on. The salted pistachio toffee on top was a nice touch! And breaking that chocolate disc was fun. 4. The Charlie Cake (5/5) If you're a chocolate lover, I recommend this over the Enzo. This is just a river of chocolate goodness. Once you crack that chocolate disc, the inside is flowing with rich, decadent, fudgy Belgian chocolate. The chocolate was not too sweet and it had a good velvety texture to it. Very moist as well. What an experience that our taste buds had!

    The cake was a hit! Perfectly balanced sweetness, rich and decadent chocolate, pistachios and an incredibly smooth, velvety texture -- every bite felt indulgent and elegant. This will surely be a staple in every special occasion!

    I moved out of LA this past May, but still come back periodically for work so this time I am in town I went back to Lilou and it was still just as amazing! Love your desserts they're so yummy, seriously haven't found anywhere that compares.

    Enzo "Dubai chocolate"
    Nina N.

    Get the ENZO "Dubai Chocolate" It is perfection not overly sweet; amazing crunch I met Chris, she is a passionate smiley hardworking owner. Pre-order ahead. This was my first purchase and I am in LOVE! Support them!!

    Enzo 3inch cake

    I ordered the Enzo 3 inch cake and picked it up within the hour. It was the perfect amount for a sweet treat. I ate mine with some strawberries and vanilla ice cream. Highly recommend!

    Regular Enzo and a mini Charlie

    A bit skeptical at first, but totally well worth it. Owner was communicative and super accommodating for pick up. Texted me the day before and day of to confirm. I actually ubered from the airport just to pick these up! The cake itself was moist, decadent, and delicious. Both the Enzo and Charlie are a chocolate lovers dream. The toasted kadaifi made all the difference in the Enzo. Can't say I've had anything like it before. The cakes are pretty pricey, but bound to be a hit for any special occasion. Highly recommend if you can plan in advance!

    Enzo and cody cakes

    I've had this bookmarked forever but finally got to try it! I couldn't believe I was able to order same day, and actually pick up in less than an hour! I ordered the Cody Cake and the Enzo cake. They were crazy good! The Cody Cake was rich without it being too sweet, and if you're a matcha fan you'd appreciate that you can actually taste the matcha without it being bitter! Great balance. My friends and I also loved the crunch of the Enzo cake. It was indulgent but in all the best ways. I loved the variety of textures in this! It was super easy to order (I messaged on Yelp and was directed to her website). Loved the quick service!

    Dang Lilou just made my mouth explode with excitement! My sil sisters told me about this spot and how delicious the cakes are. So my fatass placed an order the same night with a morning pickup the next day. Customer service was excellent, even though I messaged late in the wee hours, they still answered me lol. At first I thought "hmm a little pricey" but after tasting them, these cakes are priceless!! My favorite is the ube, the chocolate is hella rich. Cakes aren't too sweet and the perfect consistency. My only regret is not getting a large Ube. Show some love to this minority woman owned business and place your order today!!!

    OMG chocolate lovers?
    Evelyn E.

    This is Dangerously delicious...... seriously! Not only the best cake I've had in my life but they're so sweet ! The reason I initially chose this bakery is because of their amazing hours! Very convenient.....

    The Enzo "Dubai Chocolate Cake". THE BEST!!!

    Amazing product! So far we have tried The Enzo. Dubai chocolate cake rendition!! Every single guest who tried it at the party just fell in love with it. Everyone asked about it! Definitely will order this again and maybe even try their other cakes. You cannot go wrong! Perfect blend of pistachio cream, moist chocolate cake, and the crispy crisps!! Damn so good!!! Perfectly made! Please keep up that high-quality stuff you guys make!! They are prompt. Easy to communicate with. I ordered through their website and picked it up a few hours later. Pulled up to their business address, texted, and waited 5 mins later and they hand delivered it to me in my car. And off we went.Easy transaction! You will not go wrong with this folks!! Oh and yes, eat "The Enzo" at room temperature. You're welcome! Bomb product!!!!

    Cakes are good but the pricing is a bit too much. For the small like really small size is like $18 probably its just one or two bites.

I've seen people here working on their laptop and groups of people around one table so the vibe is chill and friendly. It also depends on what time of day you come. Weekends usually get packed. As for the drinks and food. What we've had here has always been good. Best to eat their Croffle and baked goods there. Although Matcha is not for my liking, I'm more for their Taro Drink. B says the Matcha here is one of the better ones she's had. I have to agree even their Matcha Ice Cream is good. We get is the Matcha Croffle + Ice Cream, Matcha Einspanner, Taro Einspanner, and their cakes. Only thing I knocked down a star is because Not all the workers know the answers to your questions of what is in what food item or if you can substitute the milks. So that's something Cafe Upper should train all staff. Especially if people have food allergies.

Personally, I don't like that style, I was hoping the original would change that for me! Long story short, I didn't like the Walnut Chocolate Chip. I personally just don't like that style still, so I'll chalk it up as a "me" problem. The cooked part was good. The Rocky Road was cooked through. It was an amazing baked good with good flavor and add-ins. Between the roasted almond slices and fudgey chocolate chips, I was enjoying it immensely. A highlight of my day for sure.

Based on my memories, this LA location keeps it consistent with a similar taste and texture as the NY location. 3.5/5 Chocolate Chip Walnut: This cookie was tall and slightly undercooked in the middle. The middle was a bit on the squishy side, and crunchy on the outside. Due to the undercooked quality, it's not a cookie I'd get regularly, though I am a big chocolate chip cookie fan. 5/5 Rocky Road: This was delicious. I'm not usually a marshmallow fan, but the addition of this ingredient formed a nice chewy consistency that I expect from a cookie. Chocolatey tidbits were well melted into the cookie texture and produced some fudgey notes. The cookie sizes are large and potentially shareable, and feel like an every once in awhile treat.
