FOOD.
Mamolo's Fine Pastries is a European-inspired bakery, with a reputation for baking high-quality pastries, cakes and other baked goods.
The birthday cakes are beautifully decorated - there are never any leftovers! I have also purchased chocolate cupcakes and vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting. The vanilla buttercream frosting is very smooth, light, creamy and not overly sweet. The cakes and cupcakes have been loved by everyone!
I have also purchased French Bread baguettes for sandwiches - the bread is fantastic, with a crunchy crust surrounding a delicious soft French bread filling.
Mamolo's Fine Pastries in Irvine (inside Gelson's) is my favorite go-to for cakes, cupcakes and French Bread.
AMBIANCE.
Mamolo's bakery is well-stocked with various sweets and treats and always very clean. The clear glass bakery cabinets display several long shelves of picturesque pastries and desserts. You'll be able to see an assortment of cakes, cupcakes, specialty pastries and cookies before buying anything.
SERVICE.
The counter staff ladies are very friendly, courteous and helpful. They strive hard to provide excellent customer service even when they're very busy with multiple customers crowding around the front counter. You can also place custom orders for special occasion pastries and desserts (birthday cakes, holiday pastries, office parties, engagement parties) with the front counter staff.
The baker in the back space of the bakery ("Eduardo?") uses fresh ingredients and is available to answer questions about the baked goods. On several occasions, I have asked Eduardo to prepare special cupcakes for me and he has always done a great job. Thank you very much for great customer service!
