What a lovely bakery with good coffee option! Glad we have this spot not that far away. We came here to celebrate my first day of maternity leave (unplanned) and my lavender latte was just so fragrant and relaxing. It came with sprinkled lavender flower on top. We had savory feta/ spinach and almond croissants and both were pretty good. Almond croissants was a bit too sweet ti my taste. We got a couple pieces of cakes to go, but the cakes in display looked absolutely beautiful. I would definitely try out their whole cake when there's a good excuse. read more

Desserts ... incredible! Service .... leaves something to be desired. I just ran in for a couple of quick desserts this evening and the young lady helping me was not very welcoming nor helpful. Given this is an upscale bakery in an upscale part of town, I expect better service. She was more concerned about cleaning and closing up shop than customer service. Mind you, it was an hour before closing. I understand she may have had a long day or perhaps dealt with a rude customer prior to my arrival, but I find more and more this younger generation needs to be schooled on customer service. read more

I absolutely love cute cakes and pastries, and this place truly amazed me with their adorable creations. I had heard about them when they first opened and had been wanting to check them out for a while. I tried calling several times, but the number kept connecting me to a different location. Instead, I decided to send an email, and the owner personally called me back. She was incredibly kind and more than happy to accommodate exactly what I was looking for. The whole experience made me even more excited to support them! read more

I was so excited to get the cake here for my birthday. The cake looked so pretty with fresh flowers. While the cake was pretty, it was a bit dry for a chocolate cake. It was not moist at all and the icing is very thick. With the price I would expect a little more. read more

This was my first time going to this shop and I brought my mom on the trip with me. The shop was clean and immaculate and the service was quick and very helpful. My mom and I were sold on the lemon custard cake and coffees as an afternoon sweet treat. They cashier is also the barista and she brought our cake and coffees right to our table ! The cake was light and delicious with a nice touch of creamy lemon custard with a lemon jam inside. Very good and the coffee was nice along side our food. I got the orange blossom latte with whole milk and my mom got the lavender latte with almond milk. Both were delicious but if you are looking for a latte that tastes closer to the flavoring the almond milk didn't dilute the flavor of the coffee like whole milk does. Both were very good otherwise! We will be back with my whole family next time read more

Came here after hearing great things about Marvel Cake. I didn't find it right away and had to pay for metered parking in the shopping center beside it. Very fancy patisserie, clean with nice interior. Offers various quality drinks, savories, and sweets. Love that they have spa water too. Ordered the Royal Hazelnut, Pistachio Mousse Tart and Pink Rose Latte. I almost ate their "paper" logo topping, it sure fooled me for chocolate! Kind of pricey for my budget, but it seems like I was paying more for a nice experience. Great place to indulge though! Will come back to try others. read more

Came here after lunch to get something sweet for dessert. Walked in and it was such a cute little spot. It was the Friday before Valentine's Day and they had so many cute cakes and desserts just for the holiday. There were a few people there having a Galentine's day and it was so cute. As for the desserts, there were so many to choose from. The lady who assisted us out was very helpful and offered us more insight on each dessert. But we opt out in getting a slice of the Napoleon and Serenity mouse dessert. To our surprise the desserts were really delicious, not too sweet or powerful in flavor. The serenity is more of a berry taste and was very refreshing. As for the Napoleon, it was light and not as dense as I thought it would be. I would come back again to try other flavors. read more

SUMMARY: Prices are a but steep but it's WC. I love that the employees are friendly and approachable. I will come again and try more of their pastries. FOOD: Ordered Napoleon and Mini Almond. The pastries here pretty to look at. Anyway back to the what I ordered. Napoleon is on the small size, perhaps it's more French (three layers) than Russian (at least 10 layers), which probably explains why it wasn't as moist as a traditional Napoleon. As for the mini almond, forget it, get something more interesting. It was rather flat, nothing exciting as I was trying hard to enjoy it. Also I found the sliver if almonds a tad burnt. But taste got better when I added cream from the Napoleon Coffee is good, but nothing outstanding, I mean basic right? Frothed milk stiffer on the latte but still sweet and not burnt. (I actually like stiff more.) SERVICE: Amazing! Menu dis nit have flat white, and the beautiful young lady created one for me. Thank you for going above and beyond. SPACE: Big enough to not accidentally hear your neighbors' conversation and they have tables outside that reminded me of a cafe in France. Casual but in a chic way-- think ballet flats rather than gym/sneakers shoes. PARKING: Street parking and there is also a parking space right of the cafe. Parking not free. READ! We got a ticket when we visited on 31Jan2025, thinking it's NYE and quiet. read more

Marvel Cake - (clockwise from 1200) Napoleon, Mini Almond, Flat White, Latte - Bakeries Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Great afternoon sweet treat with Baby Bear. Had the napoleon with a cup of tea. Delicious, flaky layers of puffed pastry, pillowy cream and crushed pistachios. The tea is delicious, with a hint of berry and vanilla. The butter croissant is was warm and flaky. Matcha- perfectly sweetened. Always a lovely time. Like transporting to a new place and time. Definitely Marvel-ous. Service was great, as usual read more

I have heard so many great things about Marvel Cake and finally got a chance to visit one night. I was mesmerized by the cakes under the glass cases. They look decadent and so tempting! We picked a chocolate cake to go and It felt like a dream eating it. It was a great cake; it was moist, rich and smooth. I wish it would not end. This reminds me of those French pastries I have had in France! Would definitely need to get my fix here for my sweet desire. read more

Wish this cake tasted half as good as it looked. We bought one of their smaller strawberry Bavarian cream cakes to celebrate an anniversary and shared one slice just to toss the rest.

This Marvel Cake location might be the most spacious and least crowded amongst the rest of the location in the Bay Area. I was very surprised to walk in and there were no customers, though it was like an hour before closing. And what is even more surprising was that they had plenty of spiral croissants! These spiral croissants are one of my favorite baked goods ever! It combines the flakiness and buttery texture and flavor of a perfect croissant with mousse or custard-like fillings. They have plenty of other dessert options - all are very beautifully designed! The price is on the higher end but with the sophisticated and elegant look and taste of the desserts, it's definitely worth the price. read more

Super cute location with an interior that feels upscale and cozy. There's a convenient parking lot next door. However, you do have to pay a minimum of one hour. I tried the Serenity, Strawberry Heart, and Crème Brûlée, and all three were absolutely delicious. I was hoping to try the Royal Hazelnut as well, but unfortunately, it was sold out. (Stop by earlier for a better selection) The shop wasn't crowded so we were helped right away, which was great. A lovely spot with tasty desserts and a beautiful ambience. I would definitely come back ...specially to try the Royal Hazelnut! read more

The service was friendly, and the spinach feta pastry was really good. I also got a chocolate croissant, and they warmed it up so the chocolate was all melty and oozing out, it was delicious. The only disappointment was the rose latte. I was excited to try it, but it honestly just tasted like a cold brew coffee. I even asked the staff about it, and they said it was the rose latte, but I couldn't taste any rose flavor at all. Overall, the pastries and service were great, but I'd probably skip the rose latte next time. read more

Had a sugar craving and so we stopped by! However parking was very difficult to find. Apparently there is free parking inside the building but if you're facing the shop it's on the right side, so don't make the mistake we made and go to the left and backing out! We ended up paying for parking nearby when we didn't need to, which was a bummer. But the pastries and coffee were delicious, and the interior is nice and fancy! Would come back again... just.. find parking better. read more

I love the ambiance and decorations, it's something I would take a picture for instagram! All the desserts have aesthetically pleasing appearances. Service is prompt and friendly, smiles were warm and patient. I got the pink dome and it was too overwhelming and intense for me. Chestnut was very overbearing in taste. The jasmine tea cream was so strong I had a headache. The mango crepe was tasty as expected, now I need to figure out how come Anton makes mango crepes for them but doesn't sell them themselves at the moment... read more

Marvel Cake - Blueberry matcha - Bakeries Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

We ordered 3 types of drinks, and they all were beautiful and delicious -- the red velvet latte stole the show! We also ordered their ham and cheese (jamon & beurre) sandwiches were substantial and served with a side of chips. It was a good size and they cut the nearly foot long sandwich in half so we split it between two ppl and it was the perfect share plate. We also ordered one of their rose flavored dessert cakes. It was beautiful and had a vanilla bean /rose flavored like mousse center. They had French music on so we closed our eyes and teleported ourselves back to Paris. Definitely recommend you come here for a good girlfriend date to catch up over a cappuccinos and delicate decorated pastries that delights the eyes and tastebuds! read more

Visually appealing, but the flavor was highly disappointing. We stopped in and bought one of their daily layered cakes for my birthday. It was strawberry vanilla cake, with no strawberries! :( Overall the vanilla cake was very dry, frosting overly sweet, and the creme was disproportionately sparse compared to the thick layers of cake. I was really looking forward to trying Marvel Cake, and had high hopes. For the price point of $55, nothing should fall short of impressive - BOTH in taste and flavor. read more

This is such a beautiful store inside and out. The decoration and the tables are so lovely. The bad thing today was there was a screaming kid in the restaurant so that sort of messed up the ambience. The people that work there are really nice. Great service. They have such a wide selection of cakes and food items. I didn't realize they had food items and they look so delicious. It's so hard to choose what you wanna get because everything looks so amazing but I got the Bisou because I watch a dog named Bisou which means kiss in French. It was such a pretty cake and tasted amazing. Great place! But I don't think children should be allowed inside. Haha totally messes up the ambience. read more

The shop is under an apartment complex and have seatings inside and outside. All the pastries and cakes were displayed beautifully, and the interior is so pretty with a pink theme. The staff were really friendly and ordering was fast. We got the signature raspberry heart, passionfruit tart, sesame ube tart, and supreme croissant. The heart was a bit sour with a creamy mousse texture and raspberry filling. The passionfruit tart was unfortunately not my liking. It's way too sour, making me unable to taste other flavors besides the sourness. After the first two tarts, I weren't expecting anything from the sesame ube tart but it turns out to be my favorite one! It tasted like sesame roll with a hint of ube flavor which balanced the sweetness, making it not overwhelming. The croissant was ok. The pastry part of the croissant was delicious, but the caramel filling was a little too much/sweet to balance with the pastry. This place is definitely for a sweeter tooth and flavors vary a lot but the atmosphere is really nice. Parking was a hustle because the surrounding parking lot is either paid or store-specific. read more

My first experience at this location was not great. I've been to the Campbell location and it was completely different than Walnut Creek. I arrived late in the afternoon so most of the pastries were already gone. The line quickly grew once I got in. My advice is to scope out what's left before you fall in line so you know what to order once you're up at the register. Take pictures if you have to. Also, seating is extremely limited. The girl at the register was very friendly. I ordered a lavender latte, 2 pastries and 1 to go. My husband was able to get a table for 2, but it needed bussing. Although all tables were taken and there were a lot of people working, they struggled bussing tables so we had to flag someone to clean our table. My latte arrived 15 minutes later and my pastries that didn't require anything special took another 30 minutes to get to my table. WHY?! On top of that, the girl who brought my order didn't even give napkins or utensils. How was I supposed to eat a cake or the Napolean without utensils? She seemed annoyed that we asked her for those. I know this establishment is new and getting into the rhythm of hospitality with new staff might take a while, but these are all common sense. I hope for a better experience given that Marvel is exactly that. You go there for the experience and the high quality of the food. read more

Marvel Cake - Lavender latte - Bakeries Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I've been dying to try this new bakery. I specifically came here for the famous rolled chocolate croissants. They didn't have it when they first opened but today I walked in several people in the store drinking coffee and tea with the cakes and croissants. I bought one of each chocolate and pistachio. I first thought what is so special about the chocolate covered rolled croissant but once you take a couple of bites and in the center is a chocolate sauce that start dripping oh so satisfying. I did try the pistachio but thought the chocolate rolled croissant was better. I thought the chocolate filling was more flavorful than the pistachio. read more

Over promised, under delivered. Definitely not worth the hype and the flavors were low level to mid at best. We got: chocolate croissant, almond croissant, spinach and feta croissant, lemon curd cake, and a pistachio macron. The worst thing? The macron. I took a bite and couldn't even bite through. It was very stale and harder than any macron should ever be. The best thing? Almond croissant. It was very mid, with a disappointing pastry flake and an almond paste that was too sweet. Everything else in between tasted too salty, artificial lemon flavoring, and the chocolate felt old and bloomed, not appropriate for baking. The chocolate crumbled on the edges, even after being reheated. It was not melty at all. Lastly, I ordered a cappuccino that was definitely a latte. Too much milk, not enough foam, and not hot enough. read more

I wanted to update my review as I returned a couple times and unfortunately both visits the Lavender Latte was significantly different. On the second visit my latte tasted burned with almost no lavender flavoring - very different from my first cup. The lavender seeds were also sprinkled all over the top (not sparingly on one side like my first cup) and kept getting stuck in my mouth with each sip. My third visit, my latte tasted burned again and this time had absolutely no lavender flavoring and no lavender seeds. I would have thought they'd served me the wrong cup except the waitress confirmed what I'd ordered when she set it down. Both times I returned hoping to get a repeat of my first lavender latte, but sadly neither of my visits had a consistent experience, so I don't plan to return. read more

The next day the treats tasted good too FYI read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon after reading the Yelp reviews and was excited to give it a try. The presentation of the desserts and cakes was beautiful, but unfortunately the flavor and texture didn't live up to the appearance. I ordered the ube tart, which I appreciated for not being overly sweet, but it didn't stand out as anything particularly special. The L'Opéra was also disappointing--the balance of textures felt off, with too many hard layers and not enough soft cake texture. We also tried two cupcakes, and both were extremely dry and lacked the moist, fresh texture you'd expect from a bakery. The service was mediocre as well and didn't add much to the overall experience. While the desserts looked impressive, the taste and texture fell short for me. Unfortunately, I probably won't be returning. read more
