    I absolutely LOVE this family bakery cake shop!! The cupcakes are so delicious, that we drive from Valencia to Simi Valley for them!! If you want to pick them up on the weekend, I would definitely place an order 24 hours in advance, otherwise it's first come, first serve and they get busy! I think you can also order online. The cupcakes are always fresh, and the proportion of icing to cake is perfect! The brownies are pretty fab too.

    Skiffs Cakes made my wedding cake and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Steve took the time to go over every detail, making sure my vision and logistics were perfectly aligned. He was kind, organized, and extremely knowledgeable, which made the planning process stress-free. The delivery was seamless, and everything went exactly as promised. I also loved that they offer sampler boxes with a variety of cake, filling, and icing samples, which made choosing flavors both fun and easy! The cake turned out beautiful and absolutely delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    My son picked up our small yule log cake from Skiff's and it's absolutely beautiful! Service is A+!!! So grateful to have this wonderful bakery in our neighborhood.

    Still 5 stars but had to mention I got a custom cake here for my birthday. Honestly the work they do for the price is some of the best in the area. I remember getting my 16th birthday cake here as a kid and it's so cool still being able to patron a local business who continues to do such incredible work.

    We ordered our wedding cake and dessert assortment from Skiff's Cakes. All I can say is Wendy and Steve were an absolute joy to work with. They gave us exactly what we wanted - a simple beautiful cake that was delicious and a variety of desserts that everyone could enjoy. During the reception, I had several people tell me how delicious everything was. Thank you Wendy and Steve for making our day even more special and delicious.

    We cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Skiff's! Their kindness, communication, dependability, and attention to detail truly made our wedding cake spectacular. Highly recommend if you are looking for a delicious and beautiful cake. This was by far the most reasonably priced option we found, and the best tasting experience that allowed us to customize our cake.

    They nailed it ! My daughter's cake was a beautiful and so good ! The service was amazing so friendly ! The young girl jaz was really sweet thank you for making my daughters bday 100 times better

    My beautiful wedding cake!

    This is the place to be if you need a cake, pastry or dessert! They made my wedding cake a week and a half ago and it was absolutely gorgeous tasted delicious and exceeded all of my expectations! The customer service is incredible. I will definitely be a returning customer for my next special occasion and whenever I need a sweet treat! Thank you Skiffs!!

    Custom red velvet cake

    Skiffs created an absolutely stunning cake for my mom's 70th birthday! Not only was it beautifully designed, but it was also incredibly delicious (we went with red velvet, and it was perfect). I gave them only a vague idea of what we were envisioning, and they brought it to life even better than I imagined. My mom was over the moon -- it truly made her day extra special. On top of that, the pricing was more than fair for the quality and artistry. Thank you, Skiffs, for your talent and care!

    We got married in June 2025 and are so happy we chose Skiff's Cakes for our cake and dessert table! The cake was absolutely beautiful and looked better than we imagined when describing it! It also tasted incredible! We got the banana chocolate on one tier and the white cake with strawberry cream for the other tier, and they were delicious and moist! We got a ton of compliments, and know some of our guests were following servers around trying to get more! And the mini desserts were so good! We got a larger package than we needed and have been enjoying our leftovers! We definitely want to go back for their desserts whenever we have a sweets craving! They were also so easy to work with, and we really appreciated that the cake and filling options were deconstructed during our tasting so we could try different combinations. Thank you Skiffs for the tastiest cake and desserts!

    I had a really disappointing experience at this place. I ordered a cake for my son's birthday two weeks ago, and unfortunately, it was a total letdown. The frosting was extremely sweet, so much so that the kids couldn't even eat it. Several guests also commented on how overly sweet it was. While the decoration was decent, the flavor was honestly terrible. I would not recommend buying a cake from here, it's a waste of money and can easily ruin a special celebration. Unfortunately I did not have time to go back and returned the horrible cake so they can try it and taste it how bad was it.

    I always knew this place existed and passed it many times on TO Boulevard and I'm so glad I finally…read moremade the effort. I found the atmosphere to be so inviting, warm and modern with plenty of seating and a really nice outside patio. I would also mention that's it's so nice not to lumped in the middle of a strip mall like, ' Longevity in TO & Ragamuffin in Newbury Park' . I love the design of the interior! I have been to a ton of coffee locations in the area, ( Westlake, TO, Newbury Park, Oxnard, Ventura , Santa Barbara, Malibu) and this Cafe Ficelle location is up there with the best of them. Yes the parking is not perfect- but....the service I found on my, 'so far 5 visits' has been excellent and my ' cappuccinos' have been perfectly made and tasted superb. I also had a Tri Tip sandwich which I also found to be really tasty. I am a fan and would encourage you to give it a shot and look past the 3.7 stars on Yelp- I hope this location makes it as the Pizza place that was next to it didn't.

    Today I had lunch at Cafe Ficelle with my parents. We shared two French dip sandwiches, a chocolate…read morecroissant and an almond croissant. The sandwiches were outstanding. Crusty, toasted baguette, tender tri-tip, and perfectly melted Gruyere. The dipping sauce was rich and flavorful, a perfect complement. Each sandwich also came with a fresh side salad of arugula and goat cheese. The croissants were very good. We arrived close to closing, so the pastries may not have been at peak freshness. I would recommend enjoying them earlier in the day, ideally with coffee or tea. Since we were sharing, our server sliced each croissant in three pieces. Thank you! The cafe itself is charming, with warm dark wood, cozy seating, and a fireplace that adds to the ambiance. Indoor temperature was a bit cool during our visit, but still a pleasant environment, and there is outdoor seating as well. The staff was friendly and service was quick. One small note: it would help if the staff had a better grasp of the menu and felt more confident describing it. The food speaks for itself and is worth highlighting. Parking was close and easy, and I especially enjoyed the light jazz playing in the background, including standards sung beautifully by Ella Fitzgerald. P.S. I always forget to snap photos. The sandwich was Insta-worthy.
