Love the ambiance of this bakery! All the pastries and cakes we tried were very good. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon!

Derek S.

Came by for some baked goods the other day and it was a decent experience. Parking was available in the private strip mall. Staff behind the counter were courteous. Ordered a chocolate hazelnut dessert and it was tasty and very good. Most importantly, it wasn't too sweet. It was on the pricier side at $10+ each.

Chocolate pastry , chocolate cupcake.

Customer service 5/5 Desserts 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 I came in randomly one day knowing I had always wanted to try their pastries. I'm not sure why I thought they would also have slices of cake ( Hense the name), but they had smaller pastries and dessert options. A lot of selections for all of your dessert cravings. I will have to go back in and try their coffee and other items. But the things I ordered were good.

Croissants selection

This has been my go-to place and a secret superpower for the last few years, that enabled me to show up with an amazing cakes for my wife's birthdays and really any occasions. They have a good selection of small single-serve cakes that we really enjoy, as we get to try many different flavors. But they also have large cakes, daily cakes, legendary Marvel tiramisu and all kinds of pastries. It's impossible to come in and walk out without a huge box of things you didn't know you needed. The service is quick and polite. They will even calligraph a custom edible banner for your cake! I've always taken away but there are some tables to eat in. There are always some people there but it's reasonably quiet and peaceful, with lots of light and muted colors interior.

Orange blossom latte

Aesthetic cafe and bakery. I tried the orange blossom latte, and it was quite fragrant. They also have lavender and rose lattes that I have enjoyed in the past.

Marvel Cake is such a hidden gem! The whole café has a girly and luxurious vibe, from the plush, super comfy seating to the elegant decor. There's plenty of indoor seating, so you don't feel cramped at all -- and bonus points for a clean, well-maintained bathroom, free WiFi, and easy, plentiful parking. I went on a Sunday around 1 PM, and surprisingly, it wasn't crowded at all -- which made the experience even better. I ordered the Hokkaido crepe cake, chocolate croissant, iced latte, and an iced americano. Everything was delicious: * The chocolate croissant was super crispy and fresh -- probably one of the best I've had. * The crepe cake was light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. * The iced latte was smooth and well-balanced, and you can tell they use good quality coffee. Definitely coming back. Whether you're into desserts, coffee, or just a chill spot with a pretty vibe, Marvel Cake checks all the boxes.

This place is absolutely lovely! The desserts were such a treat. I came the other day with a friend, and we ordered a few to share, the lemon pie, the passion fruit dessert, and the tiramisu, which was definitely our favorite. I had a cappuccino that was smooth and well-balanced, and my friend got the red velvet coffee, which had a really nice, subtle flavor, just the right touch of sweetness. If it weren't for my sugar sensitivity, I'd probably spend way more time here! The ambiance is so aesthetic and cozy, perfect for catching up with friends over coffee and something sweet.

The cute to go box

Seen this tagged all over TikTok so since I was in the area, I stopped in and let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed! There was sooo much to choose from! But went with the Lemon Tart, Strawberry tart, Creme Brûlée tart, serenity tart, and royal hazelnut. These were sooo good!!! The tart and sweet have the perfect balance on them. The Flavors are all amazing! The flavors are all there! Not at all to overwhelming. I will for sure be back here! They were a bit pricey but so worth the flavor. I'm sure the pastries I didn't try are all delicious as well! This cafe is super clean and quiet. They also have Affogato, Tea, and a coffee bar I can't wait to try next!! If you're in the area, stop by, you won't be disappointed!

I love the name! Being one of the few bakeries left in the area that makes spiral croissants... I had to try this place. MANGO SPIRAL CROISSANT - super disappointing - only the orange frosting/creme on top had actual mango flavoring - the interior was just your typical vanilla crème (no idea if this was intentional or if they just forgot the mango flavoring because this was SUPER DISAPPOINTING and I feel as if I have been lied to) - croissant itself wasn't crisp at all and not what I expected at all (it tasted like dense puff pastry not flaky buttery delicious croissants) DUBAI CROISSANT - okay I ordered this because I am totally falling into the Dubai chocolate fad - no flaky buttery crispy deliciousness any where - more "skin" than anything (I doubt anyone could guess this is a rendition of Dubai chocolates) ORANGE BLOSSOM LATTE - did not taste like blossoms at all - more vanilla taste than anything SERVICE - friendly - did not really wanted to answer any questions - I appreciate them charging me less? (Or maybe it was a mistake of charging me more before they noticed the mistake? But thank you) AMBIENCE - indoor and outdoor seating - a ton of folks were sitting in and having lively conversations while consuming their drinks and pastries - very modern white clean decor PARKING - located in the Nob Hill plaza - no other eateries around this bakery (but next plaza over) - plentiful parking; free + private lot

Almond croissant and hot red velvet mocha
Melody T.

I loooove their pain au chocolat!!! This time I got the almond croissant and a red velvet mocha latte. I really like the almond croissant too. The mocha was okay. It tasted good but I definitely care more about the pastries. The place has a nice tea time vibe inside and the workers are very sweet. Always coming back for the croissants!

Laura C.

Delightful! I felt like I was waltzing into a bougie Cafe . Anyhow I came here to purchase a cake for my birthday party and they had very aesthetic and beautiful cakes . I purchased a green one with baby pink roses and the flavor was chocolate and chocolate mousse. It was absolutely a crowd pleaser among all of my friends. The service was outstanding they understood that I needed a cake for my Milestone birthday and they helped me out. I can't wait to come back here to try the pastries and coffees and other things.

See Walnut Crek couldn't locat here on Y.thx and the luxury! I am Beverly Hills inside? Not CoCoCo county? City of Walnut Creek under New apt homes but not Lyric nor Avalon . This place is the hot Kardashian fave to have coffee, espresso Turkish cafe' or wonderful white Tea and others from France! Even my savory Leek was wonderful took one to go. And the beauty of the artistic work on the sweet pastierrisie and cake is just that a world of MARVEL Named appropriately, even when I recommend I always forget the name so I boast the location under the apt homes directly across from Kaiser. Nurses are missing out! Beautiful and chandeliers interior decored mustn't cost a fortune for the decorators. Wash your hand first as the flatware is actually since l ver songs tonnitngetna metallic taste and personal hygiene mostly! My gave i have enclosed and very pretty. So manynchoices as well but not overwhelming. Funny, my fave person from Paris is now their manger from Maison Benoits of DanV Everything went well especially the cafeteria almost dining bit not self serve Very nice morpheme ton relax and get away from everyday chaos outside doors Next time we will attempt to take home a larger selection of pastry, Walnut Creek go!

The beautiful birthday decoration
Cat N.

I've been wanting to try Marvel cake for so long and my brother-in-law surprised us by bringing it today for a birthday celebration. He got four things the strawberry heart shaped moose, the lemon tart, a pistachio tart, and their infamous croissant chocolate I don't even know what it's called. Everything was so flavorful and so beautiful. I thought the lemon tart was the best. It had such a great flavor. I wasn't so crazy about the strawberry mousse heart. I thought it had a weird texture, but the guys loved it. I did love how pretty it was and it had a teeny tiny little rose decoration, which was so adorable and special ! The chocolate croissant signature dessert was good. I loved the fudgy ganache interior. I wasn't so crazy about the pistachio tart, but my brother-in-law went nuts for it. But I did go crazy for was just how beautiful everything was highly recommend to take it for takeout to while your guests.

Also, she was so accommodating by making this cake on a Thursday when her availability is strictly weekends. However, if I knew that asking for an accommodation would mean my needs wouldn't have been met I would have looked elsewhere. I ordered a 7 inch buttercream cake but instead received fondant which went uneaten. I went back to review the invoice she sent and I realized there was a portion that said fondant but it also said buttercream so I just ignored it because I had no problems with the previous cakes I had received. This cake was for my friends son so I was so sad when they complained about the toughness of the fondant. I should have contacted her prior to make sure it would be buttercream but I believe she also could have let me know she would have been diverging from what I requested. Especially because $220 isnt cheap :(. The inside of the cake was great!

Unfortunately, the cake I received was much smaller than expected. The sizing descriptions on the order form didn't reflect what was delivered, and it didn't match the scale shown in the reference image I shared, nor did she let me know that it wouldn't look the same. The cake itself lacked many details of the reference cake and it was also delivered late, making me believe that she spent extra time on final touches. To my surprise, the cake was very far off from what I had asked for. I tried reaching out to provide feedback but I didn't receive a response.

Update Review: First things first, I'd like to clarify that…read morethe cake and filling was indeed what I ordered. Secondly, I have to give credit where it's due- Sweets By Design totally came through when it came to taste and wow factor (minus the drip design)!! Cake was fantastic [MOIST & DELICIOUS] and I was surprised by my in-laws approval as well. No joke, they are harsh critics when it comes to desserts and to see them enjoy every bite was definitely a SLAM DUNK. I legit couldn't cut the cake fast enough!! On a side note, thank you Nicole for immediately reaching out to me regarding my disappointment. She handled the situation in a prompt and professional manner. I appreciated her genuineness and heartfelt concern about my issues. 3 stars overall but one additional star for Nicole's customer service. She truly cares about her clients. Business is booming for SBD for obvious reasons and my only warning would be the glitch in communication. Be aware that you may need to reach out and send a few reminder pokes. ---------------------------------------------------- I really wanted to like this small business, I really had high hopes. Unfortunately Sweets By Design is an absolute bust!! After a not so good first impression with SBD during my baby shower planning, I still wanted to give Nicole and her business a try. Since we were never really able to celebrate the birth of my daughter the way we wanted, my husband and I wanted to make her 6 month [[half]] bday a little bit sweeter. I decided to reach out and see if Nicole could help me with our cake. To start off, the issues with communication was just as bad as the 1st time around. I reached out to the business via Instagram on 9/26 and got a response back quickly. I informed the cake's pick up date and sent over 3 designs that I was potentially looking at. I ended up settling with the pastel, drip, macaron, & sprinkles design [see attached photo]. A quote was promised the following day [9/27] and NOTHING WAS RECEIVED. Nicole did reach out 2 days later with the pricing and I was ready to place my order and get the ball rolling. NO RESPONSE. I dm again asking for a cake flavor listing so I can finalize the order and process whatever cost that is needed. AGAIN, CRICKETS! I am forced to reach out yet again on 9/30 asking if she was going to be able to make the cake adding that important details and payment had not yet been able to be finalized. At that point I finally get a response. The entire process of working with this baker is just more stressful than it should. An email was sent to confirm cake info and the filling listed was incorrect. Then 2 days prior to pick up, I have to message Nicole again about an address as to where I need to pick up my order. She then sends another revised email. Cake- My husband was left with the job of picking up the cake since I have an infant to attend to. He comes home with a cake that is nice BUT NOT WHAT I ORDERED. The drip design was nowhere to be found. At this point, I question whether or not the cake & the filling is even correct. I am super let down by what was delivered, even after all the detailed discussion with Nicole. I have dm'd her through IG & sent her texts regarding my disappointment so we'll see how that goes. I'll update my review if/when I hear back from someone regarding this matter.

My friend ordered me a cake from here for my virtual baby shower and my husband picked it up as a…read moresurprise so I don't have much information in terms of communication and ordering or the process of picking up the cake but can attest to the design and flavor! My virtual baby shower was boba themed so my friend sent a picture of one of the graphics my sister made for me for the baby shower as inspiration for the boba cake. The cake (picture attached) looked just like the graphic and was perfect! I liked that she used an actual boba straw for the top and that it was very detailed and cute. Everyone who was able to see it online thought it was a perfect boba cake. For flavorings, my friend and husband chose the lemon with raspberry (I think) filling. It was one of the hottest days in the Silicon Valley (over 100 degrees) but the cake kept fine in the car and sitting out. The cake itself was moist, not too sweet and had the right amount of lemon flavoring. The raspberry part was also very good. Overall, no complaints about the texture or flavor of the cake. I'm not the hugest fan of fondant so I'm not the best judge but the overall icing was fine as well. Overall, very impressed with the style, design and execution of the cake. The flavor was also good!
