    a cake and cupcakes on a table

    We recently had our wedding cutting cake and cupcakes made by Liza and they were amazing. When we met with her we explained our beach theme and hopes for a cake. What she came up with was so much better then what we envisioned. She's a honest good person who followed through with everything discussed. We will highly recommend her to anyone we know in the area.

    Film Reel Cake - Chocolate Cake w/ Raspberry & Salted Caramel Buttercream Filling - Yum!
    Mona K.

    The owner Liza really came through for me last minute for my fiance's 30th birthday Film Reel cake, as the baker who was supposed to create his custom cake bailed on me last minute. I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail, as she was always responsive and made sure to go over every aspect of the cake I desired. Not only was her rate very reasonable but she also aided me in my time crunch by delivering, and ON TIME, during busy downtown San Francisco 5pm traffic time, which was a huge help and much appreciated! The film reel cake looked exactly as discussed, and tasted even better (if you haven't already tried a Chocolate Cake w/ Raspberry & Salted Caramel Buttercream Filling, you have NOT lived, & NEED to asap!!). Thank you so much Liza, we will be back very soon!!

    Liza was very professional and very talented. She will walk you through from the style of your desired cake, size, color, toppers, etc. just name it. She can really make it possible! My daughter will really love her cake and cupcakes! Thank you for making it possible! Definitely will recommend this to friends and loved ones.

    My birthday cake which was made to look like a burger. Amazing!

    My friend surprised me with a birthday cake (which I later found out was from My Favorite Bite) and it was honestly the BEST birthday cake I've ever had! I'm obsessed with burgers, so my friend found this place on Yelp and they were able to make this custom cake on such short notice and they even delivered the cake to my friends house! When the cake was brought out to me, I was so excited! I've never had a birthday cake that looked like a burger before. And this cake was EPIC. The detail on the cake was outstanding...from making it look like double burger patties, to the sesame seeds, lettuce & cheese! It was so delicate and perfect looking that I didn't want to touch it! We finally cut into the cake, and the inside was funfetti (also my favorite)! The cake was moist, the frosting was light and sweet. So so good! Seriously the best birthday cake I've ever had!

    Amazing bday cake!

    I would give 10 stars if this were an option! Liza and her cakes are awesome! I had a super last minute request to provide a cake to a local legend and celebrity (Willie Mays) for his 90th birthday. I was in a panic trying to find someone who could create a one of kind cake on such short notice and using our chocolate (I work for Ghirardelli Chocolate Company). I found Liza right away and she was as excited as we were to be apart of this special project. The whole process was easy, we gave some ideas on the look and feel we were going for and she sketched a beautiful design that was beyond our expectations! She was super friendly and had great communication along the way. As you can see the cake turned out amazing and wowed everyone who saw it!! On top of that everyone thought the cake was delicious, tasty and moist, each layer was a different flavor highlighting variations of chocolate and everything was executed to perfection. Liza will be my go-to for all my future cakes and baked good needs!

    I have a very bad experience working with My Favorite Bite. I wanted to order a cake for a friend's birthday and the time was limited. At the beginning, I was very happy that they can make me a cake at such a short time. The mistake is we misunderstood each other by text message. I wanted a plain white cake with gold-edge flowers on top, and gold strips on the side. And then Liza showed me another picture that I don't like the flowers on top. Since I thought everything was set, I paid $226 for the cake (1 plastic toper included). What I got was a plain white cake with gold strip and plastic topper. Where are my flowers? She apologized for the miscommunication, she thought I didn't want the flowers, but I explained that I didn't like the flowers on the picture she showed me, not the first picture. So far, I think it's the text messages cause her misunderstood me. BUT, how can you give me an almost plain white cake and charge me for $200? So I told her that it's not what I expected and would like to have a refund for the flower part. I thought about asking for the full refund, but since I've agreed on communicating by text which caused the miscommunication, I'm taking my part and want her to take her part of this. After a few conversations, she refused to refund the flower part and just stopped replying me. So this is it. BYE!

    MortalKombat themed Birthday Cake

    I found My Favorite Bite thru Yelp when I found out my "go-to" cake person had moved too far for me to make the trip. I sent Liza an email with my thoughts, ideas and photos of what I had in mind. That same day she got back to me with some options that I may want to consider. I took her up on her suggestion and I'm glad I did. My son is a Mortal Kombat fan and his fave flavors are RedVelvet and Chocolate and was hoping Liza would be able to accommodate that, which didn't seem like a problem to her. She was very helpful and considered my vision to make it perfect. The cake was delish. Very moist and delicate. The redvelvet was a bit rich for my taste (but thats just me) bc my guests LOVED it. My guests asked for Liza's info so they can use her for their events. I knocked off a star solely bc there was a hiccup on time management. Im a very prompt, on time person. Since Liza works out of her home, we went to her location and stayed in the car for about 45mins bc she was putting on the final touches to the cake. But honestly, with the outcome and how beautiful the cake turned out and how delicious it was it was definitely worth the wait. I will definitely keep My Favorite Bite on speed dial for any event I hold in the future. Liza was very sweet and apologetic when she came out to deliver the cake to my car.

    Just had my husband's surprise bday cake delivered to his job. He lovvved it, and said it tasted delicious too. Liza did an amazing job!!!

    If you're looking for a custom cake that won't blow your budget, this might be a great option. More cost competitive than others in the Bay area. Quick response via email and phone. If you pick a theme, they'll send you different options for decoration with fees. Delivery in the Bay area is an additional $15 and pick ups are available in the Daly City location. The Monty Phython cake ordered was decorated beautifully and tasted amazing, moist and decadent in all the right ways.

    a birthday cake for a sports fan

    It's been a long Covid and we wanted to celebrate our son's 10th birthday properly. I sent pictures of a two "sports cake" as an inspiration and we couldn't have been more thrilled!! Thanks for surprising my son with such an awesome cake! The best cake and a great price-even better.

    Arsenal Jersey Cake
    Melissa G.

    I live in southern California and trying to throw a surprise birthday dinner for your boyfriend who lives in Oakland can be a bit challenging. Luckily, I found My Favorite Bite through yelp. I spoke with Liza 7 days before the event and placed my order along with an ideal picture of the cake. Liza was very responsive and professional which made me feel at ease. On the day of the event Liza sent me a picture of the cake which was beyond my expectations. My boyfriends face LIT UP LIKE A LIGHT when the Arsenal Jersey cake was presented at the dinner table. We received so many compliments about how great the cake looked and tasted. THANK YOU SO MUCH LIZA! You made my boyfriends birthday just that much special :-)

    The cake was perfect! Everyone at the party said that not only was it so cute but it was also sooo delicious. Liza was so easy to work with. Definitely recommend !

    My daughter's Birthday cake. Details in my review.

    I am incredibly DISAPPOINTED at the lack of professionalism, customer service and quality of cake My Favorite Bite made for my daughter's birthday. (1) Cake was delivered 2 hours late, which was five minutes before the party ended. (2) I called Liza during the two hours for a status, and the only response I received was an "I'm driving" text. No phone call or estimated time of when she'd arrive. (3) The cake was leaning, and began to sink once we started cutting into it. When I followed up with Liza about it, she claimed that it was intended to be "topsy turvy," which was not only poorly executed, but not what I ordered. (4) The "Happy Birthday..." inscription was completely missing from the cake. (5) The cake topper was broken. I followed up with Liza after the party, requesting a partial refund given the poor service I had received. After multiple emails, she finally replied to me, confirming that she would grant me the partial refund, but needed my credit card information again. I left her a voicemail with my information and asked her to contact me if she needed additional info to process the refund. Never heard back. After three weeks of emails, text messages and phone calls, she has been MIA and not honored the refund that she agreed to grant me. I regret choosing My Favorite Bite to make my daughter's birthday cake. Lesson learned.

    Pacman cake and ghost cupcakes. Cake was in incredible dulce de leche with raspberry cream filling. AMAZING!

I arrived at the bakery before it opened on a weekend morning, and there were already a couple of brave souls in line. I waited only about 25 minutes for the bakery to open, and once doors officially opened to customers, I was in and out in no time with my fresh pastries in hand. I enjoyed my almond croissant as soon as I got back home, and now I fully understand why Arsicault is at the top of everyone's SF bakery list. The almond croissant was still warm, the inside struck the perfect balance between fluffy and gooey (from the almond paste), and the exterior was nicely crisped. The almond filling is super rich and decadent yet not overly sweet. I also noticed - and appreciate - how Arsicault's almond croissant doesn't include toasted almonds on top, since these can often get over-baked and taste bitter. I definitely agree this is one of the best pastries in SF now.

    It's been a little over a year since my first time trying B&C, and things have definitely changed…read moresince then--in a good way! I definitely feel like the team implementing the 7:45AM start time to line up has helped a lot. Not only is it better for the neighbors, but it also makes the whole experience feel a lot less chaotic compared to showing up super early and scrambling to get in line. Everything feels much calmer and organized now. As for the pastries: To be honest, it really depends on what you like. I'm one that gravitates towards pretty much anything with meat and chocolate. Because of that, most of their savory/meaty and creamy pastries are always a must for me. They're super flaky, flavorful and decadent. You can really tell how much time and effort they put into making everything as high quality as possible, especially since you can see them making everything from the window while waiting in line. All in all, I think there's been a lot of improvement over the past year with some trial and error. Their pastries have always been delicious and I personally think it's worth the wait. I recommend getting to the area closer to 7:45AM so you have a better chance of being towards the front of the line. If not, it's still better to come before opening, I just wouldn't recommend getting there right before they open. By then it's not guaranteed that you'll get everything you want since they do run out depending on how many people are there.

    Delicious, definitely not hype and it was worth the 1:15 min wait…read more - Short rib 5/5 - Brown butter cornbread 5/5 - Peach cobbler 5/5 - Pistachio cookie 5/5 - S'mores 3/5 - Strawberry cookie 3/5

I've been here a few times and this time I remembered to take photos of the pastries before digging in! We tried the ube twice-baked croissant, ham and cheese croissant, curry potato bourek, and the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant. Every pastry was perfectly flaky on the outside while staying soft and buttery on the inside. My favorites were the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant and the ube twice-baked croissant. The savory pastries were packed with flavor, and the ube croissant struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overpowering. I also love that they offer unique pastries you don't find at most bakeries. The café itself is small and cozy, and the staff were warm and friendly. It's usually packed, but we arrived at the perfect time and were able to grab everything we wanted before they sold out. We'll definitely be back to try more of their delicious pastries!

It's not much, more of a storefront with 2 tables outside but they have all the pastries. This place has the best mushroom tart ever. It has a generous amount of mushrooms but is not overpowering. All of their pastries are top of the line, fresh and flavorful with the perfect blend of ingredients. I also tried the Curry Potato Bourek and Everything Croissant which I'd recommend. I really wish they had a website where you can see the establishments where they sell the pastries. Dogpatch is kinda BFE for many people but great to stop by if you live in Portrero Hill, Mission Bay, or are doing something at UCSF or the Chase Center.

My husband got in line while I waited outside. It's on the first floor of the Japan Center Malls and easy to find in the corner. While the line was long it moved quickly and we ended up ordering two drinks and a few pastries. We had the drinks right away and I enjoyed their honeycomb toffee latte ($8.25) while my husband ordered a flavored lemonade. The Honeycomb latte wasn't overly sweet and the honeycomb on top was a nice treat. The honeycomb itself was sweet and crunchy and you can either pick it out and eat it or stir it into your drink and let it melt. The lemonade my husband ordered was on the sweeter side, but was super refreshing for summer. If you like sweet you'll like this- if you prefer less sweet or tart it may not be for you. We also brought home a few of their pastries. All of them were fresh and well made. The basque cheesecake was creamy and satisfying without being overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookie had dark chocolate and was really rich and satisfying. The last pastry I forget the name of but it was like a cinnamon roll but with an orange glaze and some cocoa powder, this one was also delicious and not overly sweet. They had some savory options that were sold out when we visited and we would definitely visit again to try those and more items from the menu. We can see why this spot is so popular.

Ordered 4 plain salt breads, 1 injeolmi pastry, and 2 chewy Dubai cookies. After receiving the box, trusting that all our items are in there, we already left. Drove home 50 minutes away from here expecting all is well. As soon as my daughter opened the box of her goodies, 1 chewy cookie was missing! Went to Yelp right away to find a number to contact and to my surprise, there isn't one! Went to IG to double check for a contact number, but none to my avail.

You could've just asked Justin C.! Hopefully it was just a mistake they could correct. Not having a contact number seems like they don't want to get disturbed with any complaints.
