    The cake was much larger than it looks in this photo!!!!

    I wanted a "Longhorn" cake for my son's groom's cake. I sent Lindsay a picture and she understood immediately what I wanted. I then pestered her with little changes I thought might look good and she immediately sent me mock ups of how the cake would look. I went with the original idea and it was perfect. The "burnt orange" of the Longhorn is VERY specific and I didn't even have to tell her. The cake was a huge hit, not only because it looked awesome but it tasted (red velvet) amazing. It was gone before you could go back for seconds! Thank you so much!!!!

    Rainbow filling with a sprinkle spill!

    Lindsay was so easy to work with, extremely responsive, and helped us design an incredible and delicious cake! It was the star of the party and our daughter was over the moon. I can't recommend highly enough!

    My dreams came true! Every part of this cake was edible and tasted delicious.

    Amazing cake, mini cupcakes, and service from Lindsay at Live Love Bake! Lindsay made my gender reveal dreams come true. From the execution of my design to answering my questions about flavors, colors, and frosting - everything was perfect! We had a 6inch cake and 24 mini cupcakes. The inside of our cake displayed the color blue in different shades and inside the mini cupcakes there was blue to indicate baby boy. Everything was beautiful and tasted amazing!!!! My pictures don't do justice but know I will definitely be using Live Love Bake again!

    I ordered a cake for my baby shower from Lindsay and she took my vague ideas and turned them into something magical! She nailed our woodland animal theme and made the most adorable hedgehog out of frosting. Communications and pickup instructions were a breeze. The cake itself (vanilla sprinkle with strawberries and cream frosting) was delicious and everyone at the party loved it!!

    Yummy Minnie Mouse themed cookies.

    As always Lindsay delivers. I had 2 birthdays and teacher appreciation to celebrate in 1 week. I phoned Lindsay and she made it happen. Thank you for making all my events special. Wether we are celebrating 8 or 40.

    Our beautiful 6" cutting cake! (Photo by Annie Hall Photography)

    Lindsay did an amazing job on the cakes for our wedding! We ordered a 6" cutting cake for ourselves and two sheet cakes for our guests (almond with almond cream and vanilla with raspberry). We loved our cutting cake and many of our guests told us that the sheet cakes were delicious! Lindsay was wonderful to work with during the planning process. She was always very responsive to our questions via email, and our in-person tasting appointment was a lot of fun. We tried five cake flavors and talked through our design preferences. It was clear that she totally understood our vision and she never pressured us to have a larger cake. On the wedding day, we loved the surprise of her adding flowers (provided by our florist) to our cutting cake. Thank you so much, Lindsay!

    I cannot say enough good things about Live Love Bake. I contacted them to help with my daughter first birthday. Lindsey was extremely responsive when it came to planning, pick up was a breeze and the pictures speak for themselves when it comes to the end result.

    Wedding cake and cupcakes

    I hired Lindsay to do a small wedding cake and cupcakes for our guests. She did an amazing job! We did a consultation where I got to taste her baking and she helped me figure out what I wanted and then she made my vision come alive! My guests commented that the cupcakes were great! I asked for rainbow and sprinkles but wanted to keep it classy, and she executed the project perfectly!

    I ordered a wedding cake with Lindsay and it was exactly what I wanted. Lindsay made the process easy; she is knowledgeable; her suggestions were great; she listens; delivery was on time! The cake was beautiful! All raved about the flavors. We had two different flavors under white frosting. The accompanying sheet cake was decorated with the date; a sweet touch. I will be using Live Love Bake again for my other children's weddings! Thank you, Lindsay.

    WOW. Just wow. I cannot believe how perfect our cake came out for my father in-laws birthday. He absolutely LOVED it and it tasted amazing. Thank you so much! We will definitely be using live love bake for every special occasion

    What an amazing experience I had with Lindsay and LLB. The process was so easy. I went to the website and saw some examples of what I wanted, sent her an email and she called me the next day. We discussed it, I paid online and I picked up the mini Minnie Mouse cupcakes and Unicorn cake a few days later as planned. I was so impressed, they looked amazing. It was seamless and we received so many compliments on the cake and cupcakes. Everyone said they were so cute, beautiful and most importantly, they tasted great. Thank you so much! We will be calling you again.

    Solid wedding cake. Came on time and was easy to work with them. They decorated it well. People ate about half the cake and the other half was left but it was a solid velvet cake in terms of taste and the frosting was good. Wasn't too rich or sugary maybe a bit on the denser side as it was stacked. It made for nice pictures.

    Vanilla/snickerdoodle cake that Lindsay made for our October wedding!
    Katelyn C.

    AMAZING!!! I'm a big fan of all types of cake, but the wedding cake that Lindsay created for our wedding was in a league of its own. Tasted amazing (we did vanilla and snickerdoodle) AND it looked stunning. We gave her some general ideas and a few photos for examples, and she took that and ran with it. The end result was even better than we imagined, and she topped it off with flowers that made it even more stunning. Thank you Lindsay!!! We'll definitely be ordering a mini version for our 1st anniversary :)

I will return every morning while I am here. Delicious lattes and a GALORE of scrumptious homemade sweet and savory baked goods. Friendly service from people who know how to make you feel welcome. Funky decore with loads of local art work on display/for purchase. Sit out in the patio garden and r e l a x. PS. This is the FIRST YELP review I have ever written.

There were mixed comments, some saying the place is good, and others saying it's not worth it and the owner is rude. I wanted to help, so I went to go check it out and see what I could buy. The owner was very rude and very short with me. In reading other reviews on YELP (in addition to Nextdoor), I see that sometimes she's very friendly, and to some other people she just randomly decides to be absolutely cold and unwelcoming. Despite my being cheerful and friendly upon entering her shop, I fell into the category of the latter. Hmmm, I wonder why? I should've left, but as I decided, I wanted to try the pastries and see if the place was worth it at all or not. I ordered a chai and a muffin, both were overpriced, and definitely not worth it. The muffin tasted like a lot of the less expensive ingredients, and very little of the good ingredients. The chai was bland. I definitely have compassion regarding the situation, I'm sure the owner is under a lot of stress. But, this could be a person's time to show their true colors and she shows that she's very selective and who she is kind too and who she is not. My compassion ends here. I will not return, nor would I recommend this place.

My spouse is an avid pianist, so we wanted something truly meaningful.

It was not just a cake--it was a work of art and a perfect tribute to his passion. Beyond the visual impact, the cake itself was delicious. It served 50 guests beautifully, and everyone who saw and tasted it was genuinely in awe. People couldn't stop talking about both the craftsmanship and the flavor. Carol and Christian were also incredibly professional throughout. Krumb Cakes delivered the cake to Il Davide in San Rafael with great care and precision, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition.

The place is clean, with plenty of seating both inside and outside, and there is a large selection of pastries, scones, breads, and grab-and-go items. My go-to has been the ham and cheese croissant, which was fresh both mornings. The coffee was also nice and hot, which I always appreciate. The staff is professional and efficient, though clearly busy, so do not expect a lot of chit-chat. I also picked up a box of Cheese Coins, which turned out to be dangerous because I loved them and ate the whole box. Good coffee, fresh pastries, easy seating, and enough tempting extras to make you buy more than you planned. I will probably stop by again tomorrow morning before leaving the area.

It took around half an hour for me and 4 of my friends to get our orders, which was frustrating because we were on the go. Definitely a very busy spot! The place is a grab-and-go establishment where you order at the cashier and grab your food once ready (or they'll bring it out to you if dining in). I loved the outdoor seating on a sunny day but all the tables were unfortunately taken when we were there. The inside also has a couple of seats and refreshing cucumber water was offered.

My "Soft Scramble" was a pile of astonishment. It was so unrefined that it was an insult the the ingredients. There was nothing soft about the eggs, they were overcooked. The only thing soft on the plate was the watery run-off from the vegetables they heaped into the eggs: Too many chewy mushrooms and HUGE. Too many cherry tomatoes. I had to dig to find the eggs. The leeks were strips of inedible ribbon. The toast? I think it had been toasted yesterday and left on the top of their oven overnight and then reused today. I had to get up from the table and ask for butter to make it edible and still I worried whether I was going to break a crown. The pickled vegetables? Again, HUGE, hard and barely pickled. I will refrain from criticizing the service because they are all unaware of the nightmare in which they are working. Bless their hearts. I was so sad and annoyed. People think they can buy a restaurant with recipes and wholesale accounts and staff and just run it, "business as usual" but they are wrong. I went in and asked if they had sold the restaurant and was told, "yes." I imagine some tech-bro's wife or some hedgefund community doodler wanted a pet project with zero idea about food or food quality or how to treat and retain employees because what happened to MHBB is astonishing. It's rude and insulting to anyone who opened this restaurant and put in their best to keep the name and claim to be catering to the same people. But then again, this is par for the course or, from my vantage point, everything wrong with what's happened in Marin in a nutshell. Faux authenticity. Zero care. This is now all about the money. I will never bother with it again.
