This bakery is on another level. Every cake is clearly handcrafted with care--rich, decadent, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients you can actually taste. The flavors are perfectly balanced (not overly sweet, just indulgent in the best way), and the textures are spot on. read more

Yuuuummy yummy yummy cakes! I tried them for the first time for my bday about a month ago, and it was delicious! I got the Enzo, which was my fave, and the Ube one. The ube had a very subtle flavor, but the Enzo was top notch! The owner is also suuuuper sweet. It's worth a try! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Cake 5/5: wow we got ube one and the sweetness was on point. Not too sweet not too blend. I think this is one of the top ube cake I've ever tried, I highly recommend. Service 5/5: we called 10 mins ahead and we were able to pick it up from their apt. Quick and easy. Worth it. read more

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! read more

Lilou - Enzo "Dubai chocolate" - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Los Angeles, California

PSA: this is not a sit down bakery, even though their hours says 9am-10pm. It's a HOME, where they bake cakes for pickup. I have no idea why this is not made clear on the top of this yelp page, and why it has HOURS when it should say PICK UP or BY APPOINTMENT only. (Yes we drove out of our way after dinner looking for dessert, only to realize this when we got to the address). Please update your listing. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Fantastic!! Had some of their desserts at a party and everyone was raving about it all night

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!!! read more

The owner was kind enough to deliver the cakes to my residence and also included a sesame cookie that was amazing! However in terms of the cakes themselves, the taste of the ube was not as strong as I thought it would be. The cakes themselves were moist and full of flavor, but i'd probably ask for the ube flavor to be stronger. Hope to purchase cookies from this shop when they're available! read more

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..... read more

Lilou - OMG chocolate lovers? - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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.

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!!!! read more

Lilou - The Enzo "Dubai Chocolate Cake". THE BEST!!! - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Los Angeles, California

You've got to try this chocolate fudge cake. It's a flavor explosion. Richest cocoa cake you've ever tasted, but with a twist. There's a hint of high quality green tea matcha on top adding depth to every bite. I also like the Ube one. It has a unique creamy taste to it that balances all the flavors together. It's moist and so addictive. Trust me if you're craving something unique and delish this fudge cake is where it's at. All my friends love them whenever I bring some to them. read more

Just as a note: they do not have a store front. However, that does not take away from the delicious desserts! I was craving cake so bad one my way back from SF. Luckily I found this. I read they did not have a store front, but I always have a soft spot for small business and wanted to give it a try! I messaged them and they responded quickly. Luckily they had the flavors I wanted. Not only was she very friendly, the desserts are amazing. The flavor. The crunch. How soft. Not dry! Just yummy. read more

This cake is something Marie Antoinette would die for. Extraordinary, extravagant, rich, creamy, crunchy, gooey, as layers of sumptuousness and deliciousness unfolds. Obsessive in its opulence. I came multiple times in each bite, a peak of food brown chocolate orgasm. And as Marie Antoinette would say" ...Let them eat cake..., i'd say, let it be Lilou... I would kill & die for this cake! read more

Communication was super easy and the owner was accommodating to my time. I ordered the Matcha, Coffee, and Dubai chocolate cakes for my bf's birthday and they were absolutely amazing. I was actually shocked and how delicious they are. My boyfriend kept asking me where I got these cakes from. We definitely believe Dubai Chocolate cake is the best cake we've ever tasted. I'm definitely going to keep ordering the mini 3 inch cakes every time I crave them. I love that there's either a 3inch or 7inch option. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but we wanted to specifically buy a matcha cake for a birthday and this business looked good from the reviews. However, once receiving the cake, the cake looked nothing like the pictures. We thought we would receive a genuine matcha cake--especially considering the price and pictures. However, we opened the box to a neon green, Minecraft looking cake. We were incredibly disappointed by the aesthetics of the cake as it did not match the pictures. Additionally, the crumb coating tasted stale, and the matcha flavor was not balanced well. There weren't any instructions on how to cut the cake and it was basically impossible to cut out a slice. The cake is in a tin can and we could not remove the cake out of the container. You have to basically eat it communally with a spoon which was not enjoyable. Overall, would not recommend this place. read more
