Birthday cake, looked and tasted beautifully
Alize R.

Best experience. To order, they were super responsive (surprisingly, this is apparently difficult for a lot of bakeries to do, I checked with 4 other ones who were so slow to respond). I sent an inspiration picture and they delivered exactly what I ordered and the cake tasted delicious. All my guests enjoyed it, highly recommend them. Thank you for helping make my event run smoothly.

Orchid pot cake. Simply strawberry cake. Silk orchid that I provided.

It was easy to inquire about two cake ideas for my sister's 30th birthday and party. They responded right away to my inquiry the next day, and their prices were reasonable for what I was asking for. The cakes came out wonderful and exactly how I wanted them to come out!

A true USC cake!

I had a custom cake made at this bakery in USC colors for my Dads birthday. It was so easy to pick up a cake tasting box & we decided on the red velvet which was delicious. The cake was beautiful & exactly what I wanted.

We were in Orange County to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday and my nephew's 22nd birthday and my brother ordered two cakes from here. One was chocolate and the other was lemon... Not only were these cakes absolutely delicious. They were beautiful. These individual cakes made the birthdays so special to have these custom, delicious cakes!! Highly recommend!! Thank you Simply Sweet Cakery!!

After doing a lot of research, I booked them for my wedding back in June and they were LOVELY to work with! We asked them to make a vintage 2-tier marble cake plus an additional strawberry vanilla sheet cake. These things stood out to me: 1- Taste, arguably the most important thing- it was delicious! So much so, I didn't even get to try the sheet cake day of cause my guests ate it all so fast! lol Also my mom could not stop talking about how good the cake was too! 2- Communication- Emailing them was such a pleasant experience!! They were kind, clear, concise, and always responded in a timely manner. 3- Price- Their prices are pretty reasonable and when planning a wedding that is always welcomed! :) 4- Aesthetic- From their cake tasting package to how our cake looked the day of the wedding, you can tell they take the time to make things look pretty which is always a big plus!! Highly recommend! :) *Pictures by Epic Vision Studios

My husband and I ended up booking Simply Sweet Cakery to do our cake for our wedding. Most of the time the cakes look good but is super dry, but not here. The cake looks good and tastes amazing. All of our guests loved the flavors and couldn't stop talking about it. They went above and beyond and I'm so happy with how our cake turned out

Christine N.

Violet, Christina, and the Simply Sweet Cakery team are INCREDIBLE!! They were incredibly professional, responsive, and kind throughout the entire planning process. They brought our cake vision to life, and placed our cake topper of our dog on the cake in the sweetest way. We cannot thank them enough!

The wedding cake!

Absolutely beautiful cake. My daughter wanted a small cake for a personal cake cutting. It looked so pretty sitting on their dessert table. Plus it tasted good. (I snuck a piece!). Exactly what the bride wanted! Thanks so much!!

Vanilla gender reveal cake
Briana S.

This place is fabulous! From their super prompt responses and they delicious cakes, they've nailed it! I requested a gender reveal cake and they gave me a list of options and prices for me to choose from. I sent a few designs in and we were able to find one that worked in both style and budget. Their cake was absolutely gorgeous and High quality. All of my guests were commenting on how tasty it was and asking where I got it from. Will absolutely be using them in the future!

We chose Simply Sweet Cakery for our wedding after searching through many bakeries, and honestly one of the best decisions ever! First of all, Brooke & Christina are so so sweet and kind - they truly made the wedding cake experience the best it could be. I first reached out to them via email - they are super responsive and have very reasonable cake pricing in the OC area. We chose a few flavors and picked up our tasting box from their Costa Mesa location. After the tasting, we knew SSC would be our cake choice - their cake is super moist and fluffy, and it wasn't too sweet, just right! And the white buttercream they make is soo good! We ended up getting a 2 tier wedding cake with sweet marble and lemon raspberry, as well as 8 dozen cupcakes for our dessert table. SSC delivered the cake to our venue and we also rented a few cake stands from them. We got so many compliments from our guests about how the cake and desserts were delicious and not too sweet! Overall, the entire wedding cake process was so easy and seamless with SSC! We're sooo happy with how the cake turned out and recommend Simply Sweet Cakery for anyone looking for a wedding cake or desserts. Thank you Brooke & Christina, you two are the best!

We reached out to Simple Sweet Cakery to make our wedding cake and they were very courteous and communicative the entire time. We got to pick up a cake tasting kit to choose our flavor and the cake was ready on time and convenient to pick up. Most importantly it was insanely delicious and everyone including people who claimed they weren't big cake fans loved the cake!

Julianne T.

Ordered a cake for a small wedding ceremony and I was so pleased with it! Violet and Christina were so easy to work with, and the cake turned out exactly how I imagined. We ordered a Strawberries & Cream cake and brought in fresh flowers for decoration. The strawberries very fresh and the frosting was just lightly sweet. I wish the cake itself was a bit lighter, but that's just a personal preference!

Samples!
Erika R.

I loved my entire experience and my beautiful, delicious wedding cake from Simply Sweet Cakery! From the beginning, our email communications were smooth. First, my now hubby and I chose flavors to sample which I picked up at their bakery which was easy to find. The samples were nicely packaged and labeled with instructions on thawing and storing. They were all so moist and not overly sweet! After tasting, we knew we wanted Simply Sweet Cakery for our wedding! For a fee, your goodies can be delivered and set up at your venue. Cake stands are available to rent as well. We chose a small, 2 tier cake and cake cups. Cake cups are basically just cakes served in cups with a cute sticker (we were able to request our initials on the sticker!) and a little wooden spoon! The cake cups are something new they offer which was perfect because nowadays, not everyone really wants to eat something that's been sitting out in the open! At other weddings, I notice how much cake is sitting on the table which ends up getting thrown away. I received a lot of positive comments on the cake cups because people were able to take them home if they didn't feel like eating theirs and some people took the cake cups left over from the crazy people who don't like cake! You can order as many different flavors as you please. We kept it simple with 2 flavors for cake cups and our 2 tier cake- we both chose 1 that we liked the most which was red velvet and cookies & cream. My husband and I then took our 2 tier cake home to share with our families. The icing on the cake (no pun intended!) - Simply Sweet Cakery gifts married couples a free small cake on your 1 year wedding anniversary if you spend a certain amount! How freakin awesome is that? We did NOT want to do the traditional "keep cake in the freezer for a year" thing because it takes up space and we heard other couples end up throwing it away because it doesn't taste good! My only very very minor gripe is payment is done through mail - either mail a check or write down your credit card info. I mailed a check and appreciated that I received an email when it arrived, but I would have loved to pay via Venmo or another electronic payment. I still highly recommend ordering from Simply Sweet Cakery for all your cake needs!

When we ordered the cinnamon roll, there was no option to heat it up, so we thought they would have done it already. When it was served, it was rock solid. So, we asked them to heat it up. However, after a few minutes, it still wasn't that gooey and the inner core was still pretty tough. Perhaps they could have warmed it up so that it was evenly softened. Overall, the cinnamon roll was alright. It was a brioche roll so you would think it might be lighter and fluffy, but ours was pretty dry. However, the cream on top was insanely good. It carried the roll. The hazelnut twist was kind of what you would expect. A twisted pastry but with a hefty amount of hazelnut-chocolate spread thru the layers. We sat in a little nook, where there was a magnetic black board, where there were word tiles you could rearrange in any way. It was a nice place to just look around at all the sentences the community wrote. Chess tables were also available as extra seating. Overall, the service was good, but could be better when warming up pastries, so that the customer can enjoy them properly!

The quality has just been so utterly consistent. These baked goods truly taste rustic and homemade; I believe the freshness is guaranteed and everything is baked daily. I always buy the shuku pan to make sandwiches my daily lunches and the country bread/sourdough for my avocado toast and breakfasts. The sandwiches made in-house are also recommended especially the chicken katsu and the assorted ham/tuna/egg salad. I like the croquette and egg salad in a bun especially. All of these are savory and flavorful yet subtle. I also recommend any of the pastries including curry pan, melon pan, and of course the strawberry croissants but beyond that I also really like the strawberry banana croissant and blueberry croissant. There is also a selection of drinks made in-house café-style as well as bottled Japanese drinks. The staff are friendly and I really like the space even though it's small. You can find seating outside especially if you avoid rush hours. Of all the three locations, this one is my favorite because it's so rustic and historic and really fits in with the overall vibe and aesthetic of Old Town Tustin and the El Camino Real. Please check this bakery out; it's one of the best in all of SoCal in my opinion.

I ordered this durian cake for our anniversary, and wow... it's easily the best cake I've ever had…read more If you love real durian, you'll love this cake. The cream is super smooth and filled with actual durian pulp--no artificial flavor at all. The sponge is so light and fluffy that it almost melts in your mouth, and it pairs perfectly with the rich, fruity durian cream. I already love fresh durian and durian ice cream, but this was my first time trying a durian cake, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The 6-inch cake was $68, so it's definitely a treat, but I'd happily buy it again. Just make sure to order a few days ahead. The service was amazing too. Since it was our anniversary, they added a cute "Happy Anniversary" sign to the cake at no extra charge. When we picked it up, they even reminded us to head straight home because the summer heat could affect the cake. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their cakes and want customers to enjoy them at their best. Definitely coming back to try more flavors!

What else to say about Chaupain, except it's always exceptional?…read more I'm biased - but their pastries have got to be the best in OC. This is the 3rd Chaupain location I've been to, I happened to be in the area. It's smaller than the one on La Paz in LN to be sure, but ample size enough to provide anyone with full tastes of their amazing goods. I like everything - I've tried nearly all of their pastries and cakes, this time I tried the cinnamon roll- which was insanely good, soft, and tasted of such quality. Actually - never tried their quiche, which is certainly on a bucket list for next time. I highly recommend everything they have - but just to name a new, the guava cream cheese, cinnamon cream cheese, mixed berry bateau, opera cake, vanilla scone, any of their croissants, lemon tiramisu, and the jamon sandwich is incredible - I love that the bread had a chewy texture, which is perfect for this sandwich. Adding any of the American condiments would almost be a sacrilege, but a bit of dijon is good, which they have there in packets- the flavours work so well together. I really struggle to restrain myself when coming here, which necessary for your wallet and your waistline - but whatever you decided it's all good here. The customer service was also stellar - very friendly, helpful, and personable. Thank you !

Everything is clean, beautifully organized, colorful, and incredibly fun. It's almost like Disneyland of Mexican markets! We loved sampling the tacos and exploring all the different food stalls. We picked up a whole roasted chicken with warm tortillas, salsa, and beans, which made the perfect family meal. Easy, delicious, and no one had to cook. That alone deserves applause. The entire market feels like a fiesta. There is vibrant fresh produce, option of authentic food in different stalls, and churros served hot from the fryer. We also grabbed some carne asada to grill at home to keep the party going! And then there is pretty impressive collection of tequila for the tequila lovers! Mercado González is more than a market.

I've been shopping at this location for about a year and have been a customer of Northgate Markets for several years. Unfortunately, my experiences at this location have become increasingly disappointing. I've encountered raw chicken left on the shelf two or more days past its expiration date, fresh fruit and salsa still being sold after their use-by dates, and produce that was visibly rotten and infested with bugs. These aren't minor issues when it comes to a grocery store--they're basic food-safety and quality concerns. And then there's the customer service. Today, there wasn't a friendly employee in sight, and the customers weren't much better. I'd especially like to thank the grumpy woman on the scooter who apparently tried to run me down three separate times. I assume you were having a bad day, but judging by the atmosphere in this store, it seems like everyone is having a bad day, every day. No one smiles. No one acknowledges customers. No one seems remotely interested in providing even basic courtesy. I understand that people have bad days--I really do--but when the entire experience consistently feels cold, hostile, and unwelcoming, it becomes a pattern rather than an isolated bad day. The cashier couldn't be bothered to say hello back or even make the slightest attempt at being friendly, and the young man bagging my groceries was just as dismissive. I've spent years shopping with Northgate Markets, which makes this especially disappointing. Customers shouldn't walk into a store and feel like they're an inconvenience for simply being there. Today was the final straw for me. There are plenty of other places willing to take my money while treating me--and other customers--with basic courtesy and respect.

The line was…read morepretty intimidating, esp for a Sunday night (it was a holiday weekend though, so that might have been a big factor as to why it was so busy there that night)...but even with the long line, it went by pretty quick. Love the simple decor and vibe of this place. You can see the churros being made to order, which is cool. Ordered a bunch of churros for our group; the condensed milk is def my favorite dipping sauce, but the chocolate and I think the other one is caramel...is good too. Tried to eat all the churros we ordered cuz I don't like them when they're not fresh. So needless to say, I was pretty filled up with churros by the time we were done. The milk chocolate shake and choco milk were a hit with the kids as well. Not a TON of tables and chairs to eat right where the spot is at, esp with a big group, but there are tables inside Northgate..again, if it's not crazy busy, you should be able to find a spot. It was towards the end of the night when we hit up El Moro, so we all moved our cars close together in the lot in front of where the churreria is located and hung out there. Parking - It's the Northgate market, so it can get crazy busy, esp during dinner time. Service - Very friendly and patient, esp since it was our first time there.

They are worth a try if you're in the area!
