    Tres Leches decadent: Tres Leches Cake
    Manuel G.

    To me, the signature of a good event is not only the food but also the cake. I must say we need more bakeries out there. I searched throughout Downey and found this wonderful cake shop, Marissa's. They have samples of their chocolate, vanilla and tres leches. The Tres leches was definitely my top choice for my cake order! The staff were polite and worked with me on the design of the cake. The guests at my event specifically complimented the cake, saying how moist and delicious it was and asked where I got it from. I was very pleased and relieved as again, having a delicious cake is a necessity to me for a great event.

    ABSOLUTELY did an amazing job with my son cake for his 10th birthday! He wanted a Mario theme cake this year and my go to person I usually go to each year happened to be out of states. Unfortunately, I had to dig up some gold spots and I'm soooo happy I find the gem in the wall. They make cakes, cake pops, sweet treats, cookies and much more. Any occasion you can think of, they can bake and make for you! The ambiance of this place is cute and tiny and has a lot of eye candy goodies to eye from. I will be coming back if I ever have any special event occurring :)

    They did an AMAZING job and it came out exactly how we requested it. They were able to accommodate a short notice and totally exceeded expectations. Amazing customer service. Definitely coming back to them for our next event.

    My daughter picked up this cake for her fathers 50th birthday . As you can see there are plenty of flaws in this cake and my daughter expressed how unhappy she was with the result . From the print of the picture to the yellow spot to the directions she left and they didn't follow. They expressed there was nothing they can do. She still wasn't feel right and she walked back in and asked to speak to the owner only to be screamed at and told that there's nothing she can do. No refund no discount on a future order. Nothing !!! The owner greeted my daughter with no respect and made her feel so indifferent . There is no way that the owner can be proud of what she delivered . What a sad outcome to a so called high ranked cake business ! Do better!!!!!

    Cake with Kuromi topper

    What a blessing and life saver Marissa's Cakes is! I needed a cake within 3 hours because my previous cake maker bailed on me last minute! I asked for any cake that could be decorated with my daughter's birthday colors since I had the cake topper already! The cake came out beautifully and in time for my baby's birthday party! Thank you again!!!

    I'm so impressed with Marissa's Birthday Cake everyone LOVED it. Excellent customer service I'll be ordering cakes from here on out.

    Absolutely AMAZING!!! The cake was delicious, so moist I recommend the coconut cake with piña colada filling it was so mouthwatering! Great costumer service, Griselda was very friendly and attentive Marissa's cake exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much for everything!

    My simple gender reveal cake. I added the decorations.

My husband had really wanted to try their diablitos (?). Everyone was really nice and when we said it was our first time they helped us to the ipad menu so we could see pictures which was very helpful. I got the small mini pancakes with strawberries, lechera, and choco sauce. It was good but nothing incredible. Its on a busy street so you can forget about parking. I think this place would be better for drinks those looked really good.

    Dolce Cravings is located on a main street, and let me just say -- parking is not for the weak…read more Either know how to parallel park or be prepared to walk a bit. The inside is very small. There are two benches and one tiny table with three chairs. Funny enough, the area where they actually make the food and drinks is WAY bigger than the waiting/seating area. Definitely more of a grab-and-go spot. I ordered from the kiosk and had zero interaction with the barista besides her calling my name, which was fine but worth noting if you're expecting a more social coffee experience. Now... the Biscoff matcha. I've never had Biscoff with matcha before, and honestly? God-sent. Soooo good. Sweet, creamy, and perfectly balanced. This might be my new favorite matcha pairing. Overall, small space and limited seating aside, the drinks are absolutely worth it. I'd come back just for that matcha alone.

    Last minute search for something to drop off for the after school staff, could not find any bakery…read moreor cookies that seemed interesting enough. Searching down the map for the drive back from LA, saw this interesting thing. And great reviews from others sealed the deal to try it out. Online ordering with pick up time was very convenient. Driving down, got a text about 5 min before pick up time, just perfect. Cute and super clean store. Friendly gal grabbed the order for me and I was off in no time. Got the party pack (30) for the school staff, and of course had to try for myself too with a regular (9). Ended up being an hour and a half before I got around to trying our box of 9. Looked interesting enough. Kid took his bite and said yum. I took mine to the sink (lol) to catch any crumbs, but surprised me that it's not just a ball of a regular donut. This had an amazingly satisfying crispy crunchy exterior, with an airy chewy interior! I can't imagine how much better it would be when freshly made at the store! Even an hour and a half later was delicious... Me and the kid quickly devoured our 3 each and struggled to leave 3 for wife before we had to go to an activity. When we returned, wife was also raving, what was that, where did you get it? Trust me, you will not be able to eat just one. I'm greedy, I definitely want more than 3 next time! Donut ball itself wasn't overly sweet, just delicious period. I guess it's the toppings that add the sweetness. Only tried the classic (honey cinnamon, walnut). The other flavors will probably be amazing desserts, but I think all I need is just the donut ball by itself. Honey and walnut adds a bit of sweetness and bite, but the base donut ball is a shining star on it's own in my book! Good thing was the honey was mostly on the bottom and walnut crumbles on top, so you can rub as much or not of those as it fits you. Few days later, each of us were still talking about this greek donut. Just looking for a reason to grab this again. Father's day is coming up, I think it's time for a Party!

    Got the strawberry and the birthday cake varieties and, damn, they were both so good!…read more Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, nicely filled with Nutella. That delightful crunchy fresh donut texture is to die for! But all the toppings are also great - both very clear and good flavors. Everything worked well together and no flavor overpowered any other. It was clean, spacious and comfortable inside. Great AC on a 100 degree day in March (this is our new normal??) The person helping us was friendly, informative and so welcoming, and took their time telling us the origins of the donuts, explaining the flavors and the options to us. Very sweet, very kind! We came in at 2 on a Tuesday and they had just finished making a fresh batch (they are made every 30 minutes), so we lucked out on that and got to try these at their peak! Really wonderful. This will definitely be a stop for us when we are out this way again. Might even be worth driving for as a special treat from time to time!

    Update: They're no longer affiliated with Fivestars!…read more I've since gone two additional times to try their waffle bites. My last trip was kind of spontaneous because I suddenly got a Fivestars reward that day for these waffle bites. However, when I arrived, I was looking for the Fivestars tablet only to be met by a Clover tablet instead. It felt like I went through a time warp because the employee working behind the register didn't seem to have any idea what I was trying to say regarding Fivestars, though he did notice a little trifold card on the front counter mentioning Fivestars. I asked if he could get his manager so I could explain, and even show, him my Fivestars reward. The reward said "already accepted", which he almost thought meant I had redeemed it already, but if that were the case, then it would have said "already redeemed". Given that they've now done away with Fivestars, I'm not too surprised he may have gotten the words "accepted" confused with "redeemed", but luckily, he was happy enough to honor it for me. The employee who assisted me was very helpful, though he did ask me to repeat the topping and the drizzle that I wanted. I chose the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor ice cream with Fruity Pebbles toppings and a Strawberry drizzle on top. Since I had already tried the cookie flavors before, I figured I'd try the fruity flavors this time around. He said he needed about 5 minutes to prepare my waffle bites, which were presented a little different than last time. Last time, I got the Cookie Butter flavor with *Cookie* Crisp and Peanut *Butter* (see what I did there?), and it came in a small plastic takeout container. This one came in a large plastic cup, and I'm thinking the logistics may have changed a ton between my last two visits. I did appreciate how the employee asked if I wanted the waffles on top of or beneath the ice cream before making the waffle bites; I chose on top. He also asked if I'd like powdered sugar on top, to which I agreed. Unfortunately, neither of the waffle bites I got from my last two visits impressed me that much. As a matter of fact, the only thing that impressed me was the strawberry drizzle. Everything else fell kind of flat. While generous in size for the $8 price tag, the Cookie Butter and the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream didn't really taste like these flavors at all! For whatever reason, the peanut butter didn't add much flavor, but the strawberry drizzle added a lot! How even?! In short, the waffle bites weren't that much of an upgrade from the ice cream scoop that I had on my first visit. I'm willing to say "too much good was no good" here. The waffles themselves were good, but they can only do so much when a flavored ice cream doesn't even taste like that flavor. It's worth noting that on my penultimate visit, when I got the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, I saw two employees behind the front counter who were ready to take my order. I asked them to explain what the waffle bites were, but it took them a couple of tries to actually understand what I was asking. From what I gathered, the waffle bites were similar to the ice cream scoop I had on my first visit, but with the addition of a warm waffle to supplement the ice cream. However, the step-by-step process remains the same. I was initially told it would take 6 minutes to prepare the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, but it actually took 15! It seemed like one was training the other or they were trying to gather the ingredients and/or the steps needed to create the waffle bites. After about 10 minutes, I was told by one of the employees they had to make a new batch of waffles because the first batch had burnt. The music was getting pretty loud, so it was hard to hear him after that, but I didn't want to hold up the kitchen prep process any longer. I just said "Alright, sure" so he could continue preparing my order. I do appreciate how he let me know of this so that I'd know the reason for the extended wait, but I wish they weren't so ill-prepared during my visit. So overall, still 3 stars overall. I appreciate the prior partnership with Fivestars, but these missed opportunities have led me to believe that Cravings is just not for me. I doubt I'll try anything else on their ice cream menu, and considering that there are only a few parking spots in their lot, it will take a lot to get me to try their hot chicken. And speaking of lack of parking, I also want to mention that on my second visit, I saw two open parking stalls right in front of Cravings, one on either side of a car. That car had its driver's side wide open so that I couldn't park there. I had to park on the passenger side of that car, which he left much less room for. Perhaps a microcosm of the clientele in this part of town? Everybody deserves a second chance, right? Unfortunately, not everybody can make the most of them, and this is just one example of such. Thanks for the sweet treats Cravings, but I'll get my next one somewhere else.

    If you are looking for a unique experience stop by Cravings Ice Cream! The menu is fun and I have…read morenot seen anything like their options before. The ice cream was a 5/5 for me, the toppings, and waffles combined well giving a crunch to the soft ice cream. Free parking is available but limited, and they have outdoor seating with a v for entertainment. I was joyed to see the international snacks available for purchase! I had to buy some oreos. Another perk was the eatery nextdoor!
