    Sibbys GF cupcakes
    Kaari J.

    I heard about this bakery on TikTok--and happened to be in the area a few weeks ago! I snagged 2 GF cupcakes for myself, and they absolutely lived up to the hype! So delicious!! Consistency was like a regular cupcake, which is hard to find. My family enjoyed the regular treats. Parking can be a little tricky, but I found a spot around the corner. It's one guest at a time, so there was a short wait--but that just meant I had their full attention when ordering for myself. Will always stop in and grab treats when I'm in the area!

    Here are the cupcakes I tried: Salted caramel - delicious middle, slightly smoky flavor to me (no one else agreed with me though so maybe I have weird taste buds), would try again! Seasonal lemon meringue - nice but not as good as the salted caramel :)

    My go to cupcake place!! Their designs are always perfectly executed and flavors are delicious. Staff are always super friendly. 10/10 highly recommend.

    I stumbled upon this place while looking for mini cupcakes for my daughter's birthday. I ended up with half a dozen of cupcakes for us to try, and I was amazed by the flavors. Not to mention, they're beautifully decorated and the cupcake was moist also. The lady who helped me was also friendly and helpful. I probably will visit this place whenever I'm in the area! I ate 2 out of the 6 she was supposed to try. Oops

    Just gave this place a try. It's a bit out of the way, but the trip was WELL worth it! Tried out both the Salted Caramel and the Red Velvet. Both were absolutely DELICIOUS, especially the former! And the people working there were kind as well, which is always a plus. Only knock against them is that the Salted Caramel is ONLY in the Mini form. Would KILL to have a full size Cupcake of that flavor. But I'll definitely come back in the future!

    Sibbys has done cupcakes for multiple events! Not only do they make delicious cupcakes in a variety of flavors, they have amazing designs!

    Cupcakes to go!

    Found this cupcake shop randomly on a drive and loved the cupcakes. It's hidden in an industrial area but don't let that fool you. They have great cupcakes. I recommend giving it a try. I bought a box of three cupcakes to share with family and everyone loved them. It seems like most people order the cupcakes ahead of time and simply pick up their orders. But you can walk in and pick one up.

    At first I didn't realize it was a storefront because I think they do the bulk of their business as pre-orders for events. But alas they do have a storefront that you can walk in. It's not a typical cupcakery storefront like Kara's or Sprinkles which is bright and cutesy located in a shopping area but more like a display case in front of their kitchen and office across the railroad tracks in an industrial area. Kind of looks like a hidden place you need a password for. They have 3 sizes of cupcakes which is nice to choose from: Large which I believe is the equivalent of 3 cupcakes, regular, and mini. A list sits outside where it shows the cupcakes offered for the day. You don't get as many options if you walk in, especially at the end of the day. I like the Jimmie cake which has sprinkles and the confetti cupcake the best.

    Very friendly and talented employees at Sibby's Cupcakery! How can a decorator fit a Civic Type R on a jumbo cupcake???

    People are very friendly and cup cakes are very tasty. And owner Sibby is great too. Will buy cupcakes in the future.

    Ordered gluten free cupcakes from Sibby's, they were so knowledgeable about avoiding cross contamination and I am so grateful! Their cupcakes are delicious & the gf ones / can't even tell the difference. They have such a wide variety of flavors. Yes the cupcakes are a tad pricey, but worth it. Ordering, pickup, and consumption were All EASY and enjoyable experiences! Be sure to stop by and indulge!!!!

    Large CUPcake!

    Ok, so if you're in the SF Peninsula and are looking for some amazing cupcakes.. LOOK NO FURTHER! I have lived in SF and used to amazing spots for food and desserts! This is my fave in the peninsula!! I always order a dozen cupcakes and love getting random flavours. Sibby's has great flavours and always tastes freshly baked and with simple, real ingredients. You can taste the sweetness without the artificial sweetness taste (if that makes sense)!?! I have tried many flavours and always satisfied with every bite! They are dangerously good! Be forwarded, you won't just want to eat one! This place is nestled near downtown San Mateo with street parking that is metered. The place is small in size but create many delicious desserts! The price point is on par with many high end bakeries that have amazing quality and taste. The staff is super friendly and helpful every time I had gone. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this place!! You won't be disappointed!!

    Can I stop by to purchase some cupcakes ? I need 12 but it's not letting me to order for tomorrow

    You can buy cupcakes on the spot

    Anyone know how to mix and match flavors when ordering online? I want to preorder three dozen for pick-up next Saturday and don't see an option to customize my boxes. Thanks.

    You have to order a minimum of 6 of the same flavor. Another option is to show up early on the day you want them and pick out what they have on-hand. They usually have quite a few choices available.

    Are they still taking custom orders?

    Yes

    What is the current pricing for cupcakes? Are there half dozen assortments available?

    The cupcakes are not cheap, but are oh sooo good. Yes you can buy a half dozen and pick from the assortment available (so get there early). There are special flavors. They… 

    Do you have gluten free cupcakes?

    Yes!

    What is the price per dozen of mini cupcakes? I'm sure it's stated somewhere here, but for some reason I'm having trouble finding it. Thank you in advance!

    Hi Rosieposie!! Our mini cupcakes are $33/ dozen. And just in case you’re curious about our regular size cupcakes, they are $48/ dozen.

    Do they have eggfree cake?

    Yes! We have four flavors available year round that are egg free: Choco Choco, Chocolate & Cream, MMM Good Mocha, and Chocolate Coconut Cream. Please call us to find out if we have a seasonal flavor that is egg free.

    Is this a nut free bakery?

    Yes.

    Do you make King Cakes for Mardi Gras?

    Hi BudgetBougie B!! We would love to bake for you, but we only make cupcakes. You can order Mardi Gras themed cupcakes in a variety of flavors, but we do not make King Cakes.

    We ordered a birthday cake from Simply Cake in San Mateo and explained over the phone that we…read morewanted "Happy Birthday Dad" written in Chinese. Instead, we received a cake that literally said "Happy Birthday DAD IN CHINESE!" in English. We honestly couldn't believe it when we opened the box. This was supposed to be a special birthday cake for dad, and the result was incredibly disappointing. Given the large Chinese community in the area, the request should hardly be unusual or unexpected request. At the very least, I would have expected someone to clarify the wording with us rather than literally writing "DAD IN CHINESE" on the cake. This is the kind of mistake that is utterly unacceptable should have been caught before the cake was handed to a customer. The photo speaks for itself. At this point, I feel like this was done deliberately to go viral or something. Unfortunately, this also isn't the first troubling experience we've heard about. A friend of ours ordered a cake from Simply Cake last year for his son's fifth birthday. When they went to pick it up the morning of the birthday, they were told the cake had not been made and that there was no paper trail of the order, even though he had brought the receipt. Needless to say, his five-year-old son ended up without his birthday cake on his birthday. And what were they offered afterward? 10% off their next cake. Ridiculous. Birthdays are special occasions that you don't get to redo the next day. Between our own experience and what happened to our friend, the lack of attention to these orders is extremely disappointing.

What we received was very underwhelming sad to say with a bare minimum to no effort in design or to make her vision come true. They were not at all what we wanted. We could've used these exact toppers from Amazon and put them on for ourselves. We would've been better off buying from Costco or Safeway. There was also no preview of the final product which could have been my fault not following up but we trusted them and that was a huge mistake on our end. I also prepaid as I didn't want to deal with that upon pickups big mistake as well as what we received was definitely not worth the premium. They were expensive. On top of that, the cupcakes were very dry, bland and the frosting was oily and runny. At least if the cupcakes tasked good it would've saved this rant. The communication overall was ok minus the no preview of final product. I understand they are a smaller shop but this is not acceptable and we will never come here again. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friend, family, Or enemies.

Picked up a princess cake to enjoy with family and friends tonight. The verdict, while similar, I still prefer the Schubert's princess cake for its lightness and less sweet finish.
