    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!

    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.

    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!

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

    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!

    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!!!

    MortalKombat themed Birthday Cake
    Sarah N.

    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.

    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!

    The first time I came here, I was underwhelmed. It seemed like another overrated joint (one of so…read moremany, am I right?). I could see the balloon that held all of the anticipated excitement my husband had of showing me a "new" spot (it was new to me) all but heartbreakingly deflate. Sigh. Not wanting that crestfallen look to prevail, I told him we'd try again. A hole in the wall that is takeout only, the customarily drab sunset weather doesn't do the vibe any favors out here. When it's overcast & cold outside, does anyone want cold pineapple buns to go with it? That was my first experience, so I was curious about how the do over was going to go. Night & day... Yelpess with the mostess Cherylynn was spot on when she said the buns need to be warm & eaten asap. This is key to experiencing a stellar treat over a humdrum one. On our 2nd visit they were hot. They were pillowy. They were divine. Gloomy sunset weather? It could be RAINING outside & I wouldn't care right now. It was a total 180. Butter. Do it! I suggest you go for the gold, kerrygold Irish butter. Matcha. I love matcha so it's an automatic order but it's a definite winner. Not too sweet, because matcha isn't naturally sweet. Custard. Hubby's favorite. He's a vanilla head, so... Salted egg yolk. Hubby's other favorite. I like, he loves. Ube. WOW. Better than the matcha which is weird coming from me. The Ube filling BAKES INTO the interior & it is amazing! I wished I'd gotten 6 of these. The puffs. How friggin adorable. Just throw in 6 puffs. Or 18. Then dip them in the side of custard that comes with. If you get extra to take home (& you should), all you have to do is be sure to reheat them as per the directions on the box. Just place them on a baking sheet lined with foil, or an oven rack (I've done both, both work), at 325 for around 10 minutes. I think 12-15 minutes is actually ideal. I couldn't believe how soft they were after this. Like new! The next day, after being refrigerated all night! I know weird, but fact! A couple of days later I requested that we go again next Saturday. Like when you were a kid & you couldn't wait for Friday because Friday's were pizza night. That crestfallen look my husband had was replaced with delighted satisfaction. Glee even. We went again the following Saturday. 5 stars

    I go to Arizmendi almost every week with my friends. They have cheap prices, and as a kid who…read moredoesn't earn much money, this is great for me. The baked goods there are amazing. My favorites are the cheese roll, the chocolate thing and the almond cookie. All of the treats have the perfect balance of sweet and savory. And, they have stuff for breakfast, lunch and maybe even dinner. The customer service is great too. All of the cashers at the front are patient and kind to me when I give bills. They all ask how the day is going, and one gave me $2 off! The bakery is well decorated from the inside and out. They're tiny details like the cute, hand drawn 'Dog Parking' sign, the banners and drawings from other kids, and all of the carefully arranged baked goods. I think that Arizmendi is a part of my life that I will miss as an adult. I hope you enjoy their service as much as I do.

    When my wife and I started planning our leisurely drive to San Francisco, we intended to visit two…read morebakeries, Tartine and Arizmendi, with the goal of purchasing scones and other pastries/desserts. Our cousins were familiar with both bakeries and graciously volunteered to be our foodie guides as we drove to these two bakeries Saturday morning. After visiting Tartine and B Patisserie, Arizmendi was our final bakery and our last stop on our Bay Area foodie tour. Just like the other two bakeries, Arizmendi was a popular destination, it was different than the other two in the selection of the pastries, and I highly recommend their corn cranberry scone and their cheese focaccia. Arizmendi is also located in the Mission District specifically on Valenica and 24th Street. The bakery is in between a Royal gas station and the KitTea Cat Lounge. Parking consists of street parking and just like the other bakeries, parking could be challenging, but Arizmendi is worth the trouble parking and walking to this confectionary paradise. This bakery is a business where their baked goods are enjoyed at home since there is minimal seating. What's unique about this bakery compared to the other two is how the baked goodies are selected. It is self serve where it's a little hectic trying to maneuver around other customers to pick the pastries and breads you desire. The young black lady behind the register who checked us out was courteous, friendly, and took care of us quickly. As you enter Arizmendi, there are four wooden display cases with plexiglass holding scones, cinnamon rolls, muffins, pies, croissants, focaccia, cookies, and shortbreads. As you peer through the plexiglass to decide what to select, make sure to grab the provided wax to pick up your baked goods and place them in the provided bags. One of our friends asked us to grab scones, so scones were one of the items we knew we were going to purchase. My wife selected other items, but I asked her for a focaccia because my cousin said that Arizmendi was know for their pizza breads. I highly recommend you purchase their corn cranberry scones. These scones are hearty, the cranberry is plentiful, and I really enjoyed these while I was drinking a coffee at home. The focaccia I picked was a cheese focaccia made with poblanos, kale, and queso fresco. That square pizza bread was a savory revelation where I devoured that as snack after heating it in our home toaster oven. It was cheesy, the poblanos and kale were tasty, and I completely agreed with my cousin's assessment about their pizza bread. We're so grateful to our cousins for taking valuable time to serve as our foodie tour guides during our trip to San Francisco. Bay Area denizens are blessed to have three bakeries where they can satisfy their pastry, dessert, and bread cravings. We're fans of Arizmendi's scones and pizza bread.

They offer a variety of baked in house items that range from the savory ( mushroom and cheese "tart") to the sweet of banana croissant invention. EVERYTHING is tasty. Items are limited in quantity, so go early. The mushroom green onion tart is delish! It has a generous amount of mushrooms, manchego cheese, and light green onions. It's a lovely flavor profile. The only downside is that it's not given to you heated. Eating it cold was not optimal. The banana "tart" because I don't recall the exact name, is to die for! It's sweet, it's sooo good! It's like banana crack. It has caramelized parts to it, and you won't want to share it!! The double backed pistachio/blackberry croissant is a food group all its own. It's everything you want in a pastry! The Thai tea was just OK. Super pricey for the amount. It's not that traditional taste profile. The people that work at Neighbor big house are friendly, expedient with service, and this definitely needs to be on your secret places to try when you're visiting SF. It's not that we want to gatekeep, but you are gonna want all these pastries to yourself!
