Explosion center
Irene Q.

Ordered a naked funfetti explosion cake three layers high with raspberry Bavarian crème filling for a bachelorette party. Ordered a month ahead and provided candy for the center of the cake. Everything came out perfect! I recommend for your next party.

Loved moved loved our gym theme cake for my husbands birthday party. East to order, Staff was really friendly and the cake looked and tasted amazing. Will definitely be back!

I am so happy i found Pastry swan i called one day before my event and they made the exact design i wanted for my son (which so many people said they couldn't) and she did an even better design than the one i asked for! Also the flavor of the cake was amazing i chose marble cake and nutella and it had so much nutella and delicious flavor ! thank u so much!

Fudge cake with raspberry filling, the design was requested very last minute and I love how it turned out!

Requested a custom cake with less than 24 hr. heads up, and an employee named Deborah was so helpful and kind over the phone. The cake was very delicious and the design was perfect! Definitely a top notch bakery

Thank you so much for the beautiful cake for our birthday celebration. This is our first time using Pastry Swan and we will be back. I was quite nervous as to how the cake would turn out and when they opened the box it was perfect in every way! Exactly as I had wanted. And it tasted delicious! All of the staff here was very helpful and super nice, they even carried the cake to the car for us. If you are looking for a great bakery, I recommend Pastry Swan! A+++

We love Pasty Swan, they did a great Yule Log for our Rotary Christmas party this year, Christmas Cookies and Pecan Pie for Christmas, best bakery in the World and would highly recommend.

Thank You so much...we ordered last minute on Thursday for Saturday and you guys came more than thru. We ordered a unicorn cake and my daughter loved it. It didn't just look great but it tasted delicious as well. Since we couldn't finish we happily shared it with the kitchen staff who enjoyed it very much as well. Again, thanks for doing an awesome job on such notice and the price was more than reasonable. We highly recommend this place.

This pic doesn't do it justice... it was big and spectacular.

Pastry Swan created the cake for our wedding in 2005. My husband and I met in Switzerland we wanted a Matterhorn shaped cake... and we got it. Everything about the cake making process was a delight. Loved the tasting part -- for the first time in my life they introduced me to a buttercream that was not too sweet -- was it Italian, or Swiss? The cake was big and amazing and immediately recognizable as the Matterhorn. It tasted fresh and chocolatey and delicious. Not everything went absolutely perfectly that day, but the cake part did and I am so grateful for that memory. PS. why am I writing this now? I'm on Yelp looking up their number to order a cake for my daughter's quinceañera.

Pastry Swan is the best bakery in the desert. Not only do they create incredible designs but their cakes taste incredible. They did my aunt's birthday cake and my law school graduation cake and we loved both! (Sorry for the horrible pics we didn't get any good ones because we couldn't wait to eat )

I was so thrilled to find Pastry Swan Bakery while looking for a place in the heat of the summer to design a birthday cake with a Mah Jonng theme for my mother's birthday. They were very helpful on the phone, and I ordered the cake one week in advance of her party. I sent a text of a photo I liked online, and they were very patient, helpful, and efficient in making this happen. My mom was so happy, and so were her friends. Thank you! I can't wait to order from you again.

I bought a cake back in June for my son's 1st birthday and they did an amazing job Not only was the cake delicious, it was beautiful! I really didn't want to cut it because it looked so great. They also gave us a free smash cake for him to use. Will definitely buy from them again

The images on your videos showed full bakery cases to choose from. Not so when I arrived. Very disappointed.

This spot that was featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, and it definitely lives up to the…read morereputation. Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.

Why is no one talking about this place?!!!…read more I can say this place is one of those rare finds you measure other meals against afterward. I stumbled on The French Corner while driving cross‑country, expecting another forgettable meal- and instead walked into what felt like an old‑world kitchen with a dash of current period wrapped in quiet romance. The room has a warmth and charm that you just don't see anymore: soft, unpretentious, intimate, like being welcomed into someone's home rather than processed through another restaurant. In a country where corporate dining has made every exit start to look the same, this felt almost unreal, like I'd slipped into a little pocket of time that somehow survived. We came in the morning and started with pastries, and that's when I realized this wasn't an ordinary stop. The pastries were next‑level: delicate, rich, clearly made with quality ingredients and real care. You taste butter, you taste texture, you taste intention. It was one of those moments where you look across the table and both of you know--you've found something special. We were so impressed that we didn't just talk about coming back; we had to come back that same day for dinner, which they've only recently started serving again since covid, and it felt like being let in on a secret. The food carried that same homemade soul the pastries promised--deep flavor, thoughtful seasoning, nothing rushed, nothing generic, fresh vegetables etc It was the kind of meal where conversation lingers, bites are shared, and you suddenly realize hours have slipped by without you noticing. There's an intimacy here that no chain restaurant can manufacture. As someone who's spent years chasing good food from the road, I can say places like this are heartbreakingly rare--far and few between, and fragile in the best way. I already know I'll be pining to return, measuring future road trips against the hope that I can swing by again. If you're anywhere within reach, don't wait or assume it'll always be there. Go now, sit down, and experience it while you still can.

This is an utterly authentic and irresistibly charming French bistro-patisserie, the kind one…read moredreams of discovering. I was accompanied by a chef who has owned and dined at the world's finest establishments. His verdict-rare and deeply considered-was unequivocal: superb ingredient quality, flawless execution, all delivered at a remarkably fair price. The warm, enveloping atmosphere, almost familial in its intimacy, completes an experience of rare harmony between culinary excellence and unpretentious elegance. A must-visit. Unreservedly recommended. Georges and Lisa
