Peppermint chocolate bliss balls
Lorraine M.

Absolutely love these raw, vegan, healthy treats that are good for you but you'd never know with how good they taste! I usually try to find their bliss balls at local shops in San Diego, I caved and ordered their specialty goods for the holidays. Delivery was super speedy in time for the holidays.

Pistachio Marzipan- 2nd favorite of all time!
Molly E.

I've said it before and I'll say it again-- she is SO GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES. Just when I think I've tried her best, she'll come out with a special that just blows your mind! At the farmers market this week, they sold a special ice cream sandwich that they described as spumoni. It was absolutely mind blowing! I love their monthly pumpkin spice cinnamon roll. I also tried the Katy cake finally and holy smokes... Wow... Absolutely phenomenal.

Satisfying Cinnamon Swirl!
Opal F.

Rpt. Buyer Review + Cinnamon Bun, swirl so satisfying, taste/texture on point + Pairs well with coffee + Found at Irvine Farmer's Market or Neat Coffee (available at other locations- see their Insta page for locations/restocks) + Fairly standard service experience, $4 per bun (worth the price) + They have other varieties to try Overall, no complaints! Definitely would recommend!

Best bakery ever!! Best cakes EVER! So yummy and gorgeous! All organic and vegan with simple ingredients. Honestly, I've never tasted such a delicious cake. We order the chocolate peanut butter flavor and it is incredibly decadent. It almost tastes like a cheesecake or thick mousse and is totally mouth-watering. Worth ever penny! We just ordered one for a birthday and didn't end up paying for the decoration but it came with stunning decorations. The cinnamon buns and balls are also amazing. The cinnamon buns are my favorite when warm. Will always come back!

I've ordered from Meet the Source 5 times now and have tried a few of their products (cake, bliss balls, and cinnamon rolls) and always enjoy their raw, vegan, healthy desserts! However, I don't always feel that the advertised flavor tastes like what it's supposed to be, like the glaze donut hole bliss ball or strawberries and cream cake for example.

Love love this little gem!! The best treats for all your vegan/raw needs. Love the cinnamon buns, bliss balls, and cake slices. Great customer service too.

Shirin S.

YES! Thank you so much for the beautiful and delicious cake. Complete whole ingredients, vegan, dairy free, and so yummy. On the pricier end, but expected given they are made from Whole Foods. No bake cakes that are so beautiful. Must order online 72 hours in advance. Wish they had delivery, but I will be back!

Cookie dough cake
Bri B.

Got the raw cookie dough cake from Whole Foods and it was AMAZING!! love that it is non dairy, no refined sugar and no soy. Super tasty, only negative was that it was $13 for a tiny piece of cake but I guess it makes up for having natural ingredients. Will be purchasing more in the future!

Bliss ball pack - mint, strawberry, and cookie dough
Tess F.

I saw my friend post a picture of a cake from this place and it looked so pretty I immediately checked three out. Meet the Source is a vegan and gluten-free bakery with unbaked goods. First thing, if you are going to get something from this place you have to order online at least 72 hours in advance - this isn't a walk-up bakery that you just order something from behind a case. Everything is made to order so keep that in mind. The first thing I ordered from them was their specialty bliss ball pack with mint, strawberry, and cookie dough flavors. Each ball is packed with flavor but the strawberry with coconut flakes definitely takes the cake (no pun intended). They are small but heavy so you can make the box of 12 last a while or put them out for a party - someone will enjoy one of them. But, I wanted to get a cake. And thankfully, my friend had a birthday...so, I used that reason and offered to buy the cake for the party. Warning - they are a little expensive (but they are made to order, with natural organic ingredients, for people with all types of food sensitivities), but they are absolutely stunning. I added the floral decoration for $20 more and if you take a look at the pictures you'll see why it was expensive. Worth it. And the cake was a huge hit! Everyone asked where I got it, people had no idea there was somewhere like this. But let me just tell you, if you're expecting the cake to taste like every other cake you've had, you'll be disappointed. This cake is unbaked and remember it's ingredients are as close to healthy as you can get, while also being organic, gluten free, AND vegan. The cake was amazing, and heavy, so the small cut into 12 pieces. The lemon was subtle and the raspberry popped through more. Super happy with the money I spent and cake I got and will definitely be coming back.

Pretty good sweets. Found their stall at Mariners Farmer Market. The miniature cakes are very decadent, kinda small and pricey.

I am back at SusieCakes, Costa Mesa during Mother's Day weekend 2026. Their cakes and staff did not…read moredisappoint! They were busy with a lot of Mother's Day weekend rush, but the staff was friendly to everyone with big smiles and they were moving the line along as quickly as possible. I picked up my usual favorite slices: Carrot Cake Slice ($8.49), Tropical Coconut Slice ($8.99), and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Slice ($8.99). They were moist and delicious! Sometimes, the Tropical Coconut can be slightly dry, but it was perfectly moist when I had it this past weekend. They had a really cute May 4th Grogu cake on display and I just think that they not only make delicious cakes, but their cake decorating skills are on point! SusieCakes is worth the splurge!

I picked up a gender reveal cake and received a level of attitude that none of your customers…read moreshould experience on Mother's Day. After waiting for someone to help me, I walk up to the counter and ask if it was possible to pick up a cake that I ordered. The result was the male sales representative with a beard rolling their eyes and yelling at me - what's the last name! I'm positive Mothers Day is a very busy day for you all, but no one should be on the receiving end of that type of sass from anyone, especially after paying close to $100 for a 6" inch cake. It definitely killed the excitement for the gender reveal with this cake tainted with attitude.

We also order max 3 drinks and on average 1/2. Today was just one drink and I received a text saying it was ready in less than 5 minutes. Cool no problem, it takes 10 minutes to drive there. I got there and no one was within view. Once again, no problem they have a bell for a reason. I rang the bell and no one came out. I was also trying to listen for any sounds in the back if they were busy with anything. Nope. All I heard was a super loud Reddit story time. I literally walked around multiple times to see if I could see any sort of movement and rang the bell more times. Once the person finally came out, he looked at me and then went to move a couple items and I had to ring the bell AGAIN. What is the point of online order? Or the bell? This isn't the first time this specific employee has ignored us/people in general. I'm genuinely annoyed at how many times this has happened with this guy. We put in the order well before we get there to allow time for rushes or any issues. We've never had issues with other employees but the person wearing glasses, a hoodie, and a normally heavily stained sunright shirt.

Sunright has always come in clutch whenever I need a lil something sweet after something salty (you know how it be) ;) They were one of the few places that had this drinkable mochi topping that was my absolute faaave but so sad they don't have it anymore, but that's ok because I really respect Sunright for constantly evolving and rotating in new products. They currently have the super trendy Dubai chocolate in a frostie form, and where else can you get a Cosmic apple oolong tea?! And after much trial and error by yours truly, this is how to order THE perfect drinks at Sunright take notes... -Matcha latte with pistachio cheese foam 75% sweet -Sunright fruit tea 50% sweet with agar boba and no fruit slices (to maximize the amount of tea) ;) Thanks for reading! ^-^

It's impossible to…read morewalk out of here without spending a solid chunk of change because everything looks and smells so good. Their cookies are absolutely massive and they are incredibly thick, dense, and heavy. The outside has a nice crispness, but the center is pure gooey perfection. They are so rich and packed with chocolate that you honestly need to break them into quarters to share, or just save the rest for later. We got the chocolate chip cookie and s'mores. Their best seller is definitely the chocolate chip. To wash it down, their Vietnamese Coffee is a must. It is strong, bold, and has that perfect sweet, condensed milk punch that hits just right. It pairs perfectly with how rich the cookies are. The spot is just a quick grab-and-go setup, and the line moves fast. Just make sure to get there on the earlier side because their popular stuff definitely sells out later in the day.

She only started smiling and became nicer to the customers when I asked for her name. While waiting for my order, one of the customers approached me and said she was barked at, too..and thanked me for putting this girl in her place (I didn't really do anything, I just asked for her name and sarcastically replied to her questions while she was taking my order). A third lady agreed with me that Jayden is swamped with work--there were around 8 more in line and she's alone. Not an excuse, but yes, she became an 'ogre' because she was left to work alone in a busy place. Shout out to management--take care of the business and put more people in there.
