Got the vegan cupcake, oreo flavored! Good quality, but a little small for what you pay for. The cookies looked a little dry, but they had cool flavors. The cupcake was sweet but a little dry, but good for a little snack. Not somewhere I'd go for large orders, but a nice option to try some vegan flavors and sit and work. read more

Drove by this place and thought it looked interesting. They do regular and vegan items. The cake isn't as fluffy as I would thought they would be but they weren't bad. Also tried the vegan cupcake but beware those are extremely sweet. Had some other interesting things like pumpkin turnover and pumpkin bread. Not bad but also on the sweeter side. read more

I needed a birthday cake for my dad's 70th and was looking for something to really wow the guests at his birthday celebration. The team at Oakleaf did an amazing job from the ease of communication, helpfulness with my cake selection, and the final product. I had asked for a cake in the shape of a boat with a figurine of my dad fishing off the side. The cake was truly spectacular and the guests were blown away by how incredible the cake looked (and tasted). I'd definitely use Oakleaf for a specialty cake again!! read more

The toffee shortbread cookie is one of the most delicious treats I have ever eaten. Thick semi firm shortbread with crunchy, buttery edges with a soft, almost gooey, but firm center. It had all the flavors and textures I desire in a delight. A touch of saltiness cuts the richness. I love this cookie!! Vegan iced oatmeal was nice and reversed chocolate chip cookie was very tasty. read more

Very easy online ordering and pick-up process on a designer cake (which is not easy to find around here)! We got the designer Batman cake for my son's birthday, and it was a hit with the toddler crew. Unfortunately, the fondant and Batman decor was way too thick to be edible (like a solid 1/3 inch of black dyed fondant) and made it even a challenge to slice. The buttercream was dry and flaked off from the cake. We followed instructions (left out 8 hours). I would recommend Oakleaf for a beautiful cake, if you don't care as much about the taste (but you might be better offer with something non-fondant..) read more

I worked with Oakleaf Cakes to create custom cookies for a virtual event. I didn't have a lot of time to work with and had to rush our (very large) order to meet the deadline and Oakleaf had no problem making it happen (thank you!). The cookies turned out even better than expected. Beautiful and tasty. Everyone LOVED them!! I highly recommend working with Oakleaf for events and especially custom orders. read more

Our cake ended up being one of my favorite parts of our wedding! When we walked into the venue and I saw it for the first time, I think I squealed with delight. We did a tasting/consultation in advance (and we actually had two separate appointments because we wanted to try the funfetti cake and trust me - it was worth it!) and ended up going with a four layer cake for our wedding of about 120 guests (we had estimated high at 150 before we got our RSVPs back). Our flavors were funfetti (SO GOOD) and vanilla and we chose a mix of lemon, raspberry and blueberry icing and vanilla fondant. Thankfully, our wedding coordinator sent us back to the hotel with a sampling so we could try each and every flavor combo (since it's really true that you barely eat at your own wedding!). We saved and froze the whole top layer and I'm already looking forward to eating it on our anniversary. Worth noting, we also got an assortment of vegan cupcakes for a couple of our dairy free guests and they were also a huge hit! We also got a custom birthday cake for my niece since our wedding fell on her fourth birthday and we heard that was delicious as well :) The bakery itself is so cute and they have a delicious variety of pastries, cupcakes and coffees. read more

I ordered a vegan chocolate cake for my best friend's birthday from Oakleaf Cakes and let me tell you, it may have been the best chocolate cake I've ever had. First of all, as a Chinese girl that grew up on Chinese bakery style cakes with whipped cream as frosting, regular frosting grosses me out. Might as well be eating spoonfuls of sugar, okay? But Oakleaf's buttercream frosting is PERFECT. So airy and not sweet, which is important to me. Then came the cake. Moist and chocolatey and I've never wanted to buy an entire cake for myself this bad. Definitely coming back to Oakleaf for future occasions. read more

As they entered Wellesley Books for the launch of Rita Zoey Chin's novel, the attendees were absolutely entranced by the sight of THE STRANGE INHERITANCE OF LEAH FERN in cake form. The artistry involved was impeccable, and the scent of peppermint and chocolate hanging in the air was enticing. When the flavors hit the tastebuds, people couldn't believe that it could also be so delicious! If you, like me, are a "You get what you pay for" person, Oakleaf Bakery is for you. read more

Amazing taste and excellent quality! My wife and I went to Oakleaf Cakes for our wedding cake and were not disappointed! We sampled their cupcakes to decide on what flavor we wanted. We ended up ordering a red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. We realized that we needed a slightly bigger cake than we originally ordered. We simply called to request a bigger size and they just charged the difference to our credit card. It was super simple and convenient!

Oakleaf Cakes made a wedding cake for a very special friend this past weekend. The bride and groom asked for a "Nightmare Before Christmas" theme. From the initial contact, through the tasting, design and delivery, the staff was professional, prompt, responsive and creative. The cake was three layers, and we we able to have three flavors,carrot and red velvet with vanilla buttercream, and vanilla with Nutella buttercream. the cake was lovely, exactly what the bride and groom wanted, and delicious. Amanda opened her original location across the street from my home and business in Winthrop, MA, and I was always impressed with her work, I am so happy to see her business thriving and was excited to use her shop for my assistant and friend's wedding.

This review is based on their customer service/ my ordering experience. I reached out on June 3rd with an inquiry for a custom cake for a corporate event. I specifically shared that I was extremely flexible and could even do a macaron or cupcake tower, but would love to speak with someone to get their expert opinion on what would work best for our party size. Since this is a corporate event, I wasn't too worried about meeting the minimum spend- instead, I was more interested in making sure I ordered the perfect cake for the occasion and really wanted to speak with someone. After a few emails exchanges later, I kept insisting for a phone call, but it seemed like the bakery didn't care to pick up the phone and call. Instead they just wanted to make it clear that their minimum spend on a cake is $350 and they don't deliver (with certain exceptions). They will also charge an additional fee for consultants going back and forth with me on customizing my order - which I was still waiting for. I really did not appreciate how they made the interaction all about the money, and didn't care to ask once what I actually wanted. I called them twice and there was no option to speak with a live person, when finally I emailed them back for the 4th time asking if they don't have the time for a phone call they should just let me know, so I can place an order with another bakery. Finally, a full day later (after hours) I get a call from someone and because I am not working around the clock, it went to voicemail. I immediately followed up with an email sharing that I had now placed an order with another bakery for close to $1,000 because they had taken the time to hear me out and understand my needs which Oakleaf just wanted to talk about their $350 minimum, additional fees and no delivery. I did mention in my email, that they should not avoid requests for phone calls because sometimes customers need their expert advice. I got the most nonchalant response to my email, which further proved how little they cared about this corporate order. I will never be placing an order with this company and they just lost a large corporate client they could have had a long term partnership with. It's about how you treat your guests, no matter where they come from. I am so glad I saw this side of Oakleaf.. Furthermore, if I am spending close to $1,000 on a cake, do I not get to speak with a live person about my requirements?? Is that too much to ask? My email exchanges were with 3 different representatives- I can't even imagine how terribly messages would've been communicated from one person to another at this bakery. It took 6 days to get a voicemail from them. They are extremely money minded and don't care about your needs read more

My husband and I decided to get a cake to celebrate our elopement, after all wedding cake is the best cake. We already had an idea of what we wanted - stained glass theme, shaped with beehive like hexagons in bright colors. We also requested a couple of white flowers and black bee silhouettes. They were so great, drafting up an image and asking for any input / modifications needed. Unfortunately we couldn't do the tasting due to the shut down, but they were very accommodating, having us pick up cupcakes with the different flavors and buttercreams we requested. The end result was gorgeous and tasted delightful. We highly recommend their vanilla bean with raspberry buttercream. Overall it was such a great experience. read more

This is such a cute little bakery, and it's open until 11pm too! I came here after a BSO concert, and it proved to be the perfect place for a late night treat. I came just in time for their adorable Halloween-themed offerings and chose a zombie brains cupcake (vanilla bean cake with strawberry buttercream and cherry pie filling), but I was definitely debating the lemon meringue ghost as well! The one cupcake I've had here was delish! The cake is more fluffy than moist and is the perfect sweetness. The buttercream was also very smooth and not cloyingly sweet. There was also a gummy cherry ribbon that bisected the "brain" hemispheres that added a bit of textural realism - slimy, like I would imagine real brains to be. Their prices are standard - $3.50 for a cupcake, and the girl and the counter was super nice. I will definitely be back! Oakleaf has me won over. read more

I live down the street in one of the dorms. I moved to Boston this fall for college, and this week had been feeling a bit homesick. I thought a cupcake might cheer me up, so I walked down to Oakleaf. I decided to try both vanilla cupcakes: the vegan vanilla with raspberry icing and the vanilla birthday cupcake. BOTH WERE PHENOMENAL. I'm someone who usually wipes all of the icing off of a cupcake (I prefer whipped cream), but the raspberry vegan icing was so flavorful that I ended up devouring the whole thing. I went right on to the bday cupcake which had what tasted like a whipped cream/icing hybrid on top. Both were very moist and not overly sweet. And... I feel a little less homesick. Great place for treats! read more

I was so excited to get this cake. When I got it, I was impressed with how beautiful it looked. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the taste, particularly the frosting. It was super bland and had a gluey texture. It barley tasted like anything independently of the cake. The cake, however, was moist and well flavored. If you want you cake to look good, I would give this place a try. If you want a delicious cake, I would would keep searching for better taste. I am disappointed as I really wanted to like this place, but it looks like I'm throwing away most of this cake. read more

Oakleaf has solid coffee that they brew per cup. I go for the Ethiopian light roast. A solid and frills free brew. Oakleaf is a bakery that specializes in custom cakes and there are examples of their fondant artistry throughout the store. As such it was ironic that the pastries were so underwhelming. I figured this would be their wheelhouse but they were forgettable. The Nutella cupcake has winning frosting. It captures that chocolate Nutella flavor without being too sweet. The problem was with the cake, which was dense and bready. Overall, an acceptable cupcake but not one I would order again, and definitely not in the league of Georgetown. Conceptually, I liked the idea of their banana bread, they took a classic treat and added chocolate chunks for taste and texture. The execution was disappointing, the banana bread was dry and crumbly. As such, the texture was completely off and the flavors didn't come together. Oakleaf has a good amount of seating and it doesn't get too busy so you shouldn't have problems finding a table. read more

Solid coffee and sweet treat are great morning fare, but I wouldn't make a special trip here if I didn't live so close. This place makes solid cookies and interesting treats like homemade marshmallows. The cupcakes are drier than I like and the whoopie pies too mundane. Sure, this place does the job if you're looking for a small gift for someone or if you need a quick espresso, but I don't feel like it's a special bakery such as those in the north end or even in Chinatown. I wish the place had a little more whimsy and personality. Sure the decorated cakes in the front look great, but I wish they could have made the rest of the bakery more fanciful and special. Anyway, it is nice to have a neighborhood bakery. read more

We first came across Oakleaf Cakes when we were living in the area and strolled by one day on our way over to Fenway. We stopped in for some lemonade and a treat, and both were delicious! So, when we started wedding planning, I thought this may be a good place to consider for our cake. One of my husband's favorite parts of wedding planning was the tastings, and Oakleaf did not disappoint. They prepared 6 cupcakes for us with different cake and frosting flavors. And we got to try the fondant as well, which was a yummy marshmallow flavor. All of the flavors were delicious, but we settled on a lemon cake with raspberry buttercream frosting. Since we wanted a yellow cake, we also had a layer of lemon buttercream frosting as the outer layer. I had found a picture of a beautiful tiered buttercream ruffle cake online that I presented for inspiration. We were quoted a reasonable price that was within budget. Also, Oakleaf had vegan options, so we ordered 6 cupcakes as well for our vegetarian guests. We weren't looking to spend a lot on the cake but we wanted something tasty, and Oakleaf did not disappoint. The cake was beautiful and so yummy. We got so many compliments from our guests. We even enjoyed our top tier on our one month anniversary! Thank you Oakleaf! read more

History

Established in 2008.

Previously located in Winthrop, MA, Oakleaf cakes relocated to Boston in 2013 with an expanded cafe, classroom for their incredibly popular cake decorating classes, and large production area where they make all of the goodies they serve in store from scratch daily. Specializing in crazy custom cakes and wedding cakes, they have been featured on Food Network Challenge, TLC, CNN, and countless other publications.

Meet the Business Owner: Amanda O.

In September of 2008 Amanda had the crazy idea she could combine her passion for art with her love of sugar, and thus Oakleaf Cakes was born in the kitchen of her one room Boston apartment. That effort blossomed, and today Oakleaf Cakes has a gorgeous storefront (you should visit!) and an amazing staff of insanely dedicated artists, bakers and baristas. Amanda has been featured as a competitor on the Food Network Cake Challenge, and her work can be seen in many magazines and various other publications across the country. Having been formally trained as an oil painter at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, she approaches cake creation like any other art form -except, in this case it's also delicious. She now employees a tight-knit staff of pastry chefs, decorators, and baristas all of whom are artists in their own right contributing to Oakleaf Cakes' overall vision; to create food that tastes as good as it looks.

Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more.

Perhaps there was a mistake when it was made because I can't imagine they would it this way otherwise. The place is very clean and nice diversity of options. I think the restaurants could do a better job labelling their menus for diets (vegan, vegetarian, GF, etc). In addition, it was weird that to pick up my food, there wasn't some kind of text system or beeper. You just had to stay around and they would just call up orders. This would be very confusing when the place gets busier and noisier. There was water available at the end of the main bar but it wasn't well marked and I had to go walk around to find it. They should also have some kind of areas with napkins and silverware. So my conclusion is good food but still needs some work for the rest.

The chocolate chip walnut and coconut caramel were both very good - not too dense or airy, tender crumb, and melty chocolate.

Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them. The WiFi is free and we didn't experience any disruptions, there's great lighting in addition to the natural light from their floor to ceiling glass walls, and the music is so good here. They were playing all 2010s indie, pop, and alternative hits. We all loved it. I ordered a decaf iced latte with Carmel and it was delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but it is what it is. :) My friends got a sandwich and also tried their coffee and really liked it too. We will be back!

Their craft is just so perfected and the flavor of everything is just right. Perfectly tangy, not overly sweet, flaky, buttery. I've tried: Bread: sourdough baton and miche(whole weat sourdough), both amazing and great for price. Pastries: chocolate pistachio and pain au chocolate, sooo good and flaky even when cold Drinks: only tried the brown butter syrup matcha which was decent but matcha flavor isnt rly strong, i'd get their latte next. Service is fantastic and welcoming! Only con here is the wait. Don't come weekends unless you're ready to spend a FAT chunk of time waiting.

Wish there was more chocolate in it but that's my chocolate tooth talking -Honey stack - layers of croissant pastry with honey and a salty top layer that creates a delicious sweet/salty flavor combo. My second favorite of what we tried! -Blueberry scone - a moist blueberry and cranberry filled scone that is soft yet dense and covered in sugar crystals that allow for an amazing textural contrast -Chocolate pistachio croissant - my personal favorite; a croissant with chocolate and pistachio filling (while I love a plain croissant, I am a sucker for jazzed up pastries) -Regular croissant - perfect layers of buttery pastry Recommend coming on non-weekend days to avoid long lines!

Oakleaf Cakes created an absolutely STUNNING cake for my 40th birthday party this past weekend in Boston! I sent the design team a few inspiration pictures I had found, a general color scheme, and they literally brought my vision to life. Guests at my party had nothing but compliments about how it looked but once they tasted it...they were speechless! Oakleaf created everything on the cake by hand including the flowers, except for the "40" topper and the gold "happy birthday" charm. I ordered those separately from an Etsy vendor. Jamie and the Oakleaf team were incredible and they were so easy to work with! I can't recommend them enough! read more

My girlfriend ordered a birthday cake for me few days before my birthday. We were really exciting about it, but after we saw that actaul cake they made, It was totally different from our requirements. After that we came in talked one of the owner, and he was extremely rude and arrogant. He refused to make any changes, no refund, and no return. Frankly, owner's attitde and how they treated their customer completely ruined my day. The way they treating their customers were unforgiveble and most importantly it made us felt unequal because of we do not speak english that well!! read more

I had the pleasure of ordering my birthday cake from Oakleaf Cakes, I saw them on the news and was amazed at the work that they did. I requested a specific cake and they executed it perfectly! I couldn't have been more pleased with the way it turned out, when it was time to serve the cake it not only sliced smoothly but the cake was very moist and very tasteful. It was a complete hit at my 60th birthday celebration. thank you to Liz who I worked with and was very helpful with selecting flavors and colors. Huge thank you to all that worked on the cake I am beyond pleased. read more

For my Boyfriend's 29th, I envisioned a fanciful cake. I chose Harry Potter as the theme since he knows all the words and has watched the movies 100x over. Oakleaf Cakes worked with me to include pieces I saw in pictures and incorporated everything to a T. I couldn't have asked for a better surprise, and the carving of the cake made it look just like a book from the movie. The wand and the snitch are especially picturesque. Thank you so much for curating the perfect piece; it made his day all the better. read more

Korean Momma has set the bar very high. The cheesecakes are great for parties and entertaining, but sometimes I keep an eye out for a fun flavor and just get it to try. Nothing beats the OG burnt flavor though, which has just the perfect touch of saltiness to complement the tangy cheese flavor and balance out the sweetness of the cake. I also love the graham cracker crust which gets so caramelized, crispy, and almost a little smoky. For gluten free friends out there, you can also get the cheesecakes without the crust. I'm so happy that they've now partnered with Darling which serves their gluten free cheesecake on their menu, but it's always worth signing up for one of the weekend drops to chat with Duly and his whole team.
