I am back at SusieCakes, Costa Mesa during Mother's Day weekend 2026. Their cakes and staff did not disappoint! They were busy with a lot of Mother's Day weekend rush, but the staff was friendly to everyone with big smiles and they were moving the line along as quickly as possible. I picked up my usual favorite slices: Carrot Cake Slice ($8.49), Tropical Coconut Slice ($8.99), and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Slice ($8.99). They were moist and delicious! Sometimes, the Tropical Coconut can be slightly dry, but it was perfectly moist when I had it this past weekend. They had a really cute May 4th Grogu cake on display and I just think that they not only make delicious cakes, but their cake decorating skills are on point! SusieCakes is worth the splurge! read more

I picked up a gender reveal cake and received a level of attitude that none of your customers should experience on Mother's Day. After waiting for someone to help me, I walk up to the counter and ask if it was possible to pick up a cake that I ordered. The result was the male sales representative with a beard rolling their eyes and yelling at me - what's the last name! I'm positive Mothers Day is a very busy day for you all, but no one should be on the receiving end of that type of sass from anyone, especially after paying close to $100 for a 6" inch cake. It definitely killed the excitement for the gender reveal with this cake tainted with attitude. read more

Heard so many good things about this place and was able to try a cupcake at one of my friend's birthday party! I was hooked! I kept hearing about this place also from TikTok and knew I had to come in and try it! We got the 8 cupcakes variety and wow. They were so moist and the frosting isn't overly sweet! We took a bite and then left it overnight and the next day it was still yummy!! Really enjoyed their chocolate and mocha cupcake. The peanut butter was a surprise and yummy. Enjoyed the lemon but wish it was a bit more lemony but still yummy. I was even surprised with their coconut! Wasn't overly coconutty! The shredded coconut was a nice touch. Overall loved their cupcakes. I do want to try their cookies and slice cakes one of these days! read more

I stopped by this weekend to get banana pudding since they were going to have it for a couple of days. There was so many good options and will be coming back later to get a slice of coconut cake. The service was great. There is seating outside if you want to eat the pastry. They have cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. The banana pudding was a good portion and super delicious. read more

This place is so cute! They sell cakes, cupcakes, and mini cupcakes as well. Prices were not listed so I had to ask the person at the register. Its a small place but efficient and clean. One staff managing the register and orders and someone else in the back making the menu items. I chose two cupcakes that were a little under $6 for each. I got the red velvet and the lemon. The lemon cupcake was really good but the red velvet cupcake frosting hasn't completely set. After I refrigerated it, it was fine though. Obviously not an everyday thing but a nice treat every once in awhile! read more

I am just still soo happy to celebrate my birthday with Susie Cakes today (2/26) with Heidi who helped offer choices on slices of cake to redeem my birthday reward. There was a limited edition cupcake, but I was unable to get that one bc it the frosting contained whiskey, and I am 27 weeks pregnant so didn't want to risk it. I close red velvet slice for my bday reward and got 1 vanilla cupcake in susie blue frosting, 1 mini cupcake in vanilla & red velvet. It was so sweet for Heidi to surprise me with the nice sweet treats and birthday writing on the box wishing me HBD Heidi, you made my birthday month so amazing!!! I will never forget the amazing experience you gave me today!!! Thank you!!! I can't wait to enjoy my bday cake read more

Susie cakes is a great place to order specialty cakes! We ordered an engagement heart shaped cake, which was insanely expensive at other locations and needed an order placed very far in advance. However this style of cake was much more affordable here and also you can order pretty last minute. The ordering system and pick up system was super easy as well! We ordered a vanilla flavored cake which actually came with some chocolate/chocolate chips. I liked that the cake itself is very dense and rich. It's definitely on the sweeter side especially the frosting. It was super cute and great for the party! read more

We wanted to pick up some quick sweet treats for a birthday. Their mini cupcakes are super cute and perfect for individual portions. A bit pricey at $2.99 each, but overall a good option for desserts. - Mini Cupcakes 4/5: Moist, delicious, and not too sweet--great for small portions. - Snickerdoodle Cookie 5/5: Amazing, perfectly soft with great cinnamon flavor. - Chocolate Chip Cookie 4/5: Classic and did not disappoint. Service was okay. Not the most friendly, but overall still a solid spot for desserts. read more

We had the sweetest experience at SusieCakes! We walked in on Sunday afternoon and asked if they could do same-day gender reveal cupcakes, and not only did they say yes--they were genuinely excited for us and made the whole moment feel so special. Within just a few minutes, they had everything ready to go. My husband and I did our little reveal in the courtyard, just the two of us, and it was perfect. When we came back in to thank them, they surprised us with mini cupcakes on the house, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. It's rare to find a place that goes above and beyond like this. Their kindness and enthusiasm made a moment we'll never forget even more meaningful. Highly recommend! Also the cupcakes were very flavorful and soft. We will definitely be coming back read more

We picked this banana chocolate chip this morning. The cake was good except pulling this thin plastic piece from my mouth. It was in the middle layer. Not top, or bottom bite. Pricey cake for that experience. We've been coming here throughout the years. Never has this happened. 3/8/26 read more

This is my go to Susie Cakes! It's so convenient too right by freeway. I saw they had a scotch mellows cupcake that was limited edition so I had to come & try it. Definitely worth the spot. If you're craving for a small sweet treat they even have minis. There are three flavors for the minis (: Parking is so easy and convenient too! Thanks again for the sweet treats! read more

I'm a huge fan of desserts. I usually am not able to make it here until around 6, and by then most of their stuff is gone. But that's how I know their goodies are fantastic, because even the little inventory they have left are still DELICIOUS! Great service, and a very inviting ambiance! Go early and be able to have your pick on whatever you want! 10/10 read more

I just wanted to write a review about how they are scamming people at this location. I've been involved and have had the two good to go app for some time now. I've always picked up a bag and got two boxes usually would also get a cookie. One box would have six mini cupcakes and the other box would have either four regular size cupcakes or a slice of cake. Just recently the past two times that I've got the orders they've only given one box with four cupcakes. They've also raised the price from $6.99 to $10.99. So not only are they giving you less cupcakes? They have also raised the price. I have not experienced this at any other Susie cakes. Not sure what to think. I love the Susie cakes brand and have been going there for years. read more

This is such a fun place if you have a massive sweet tooth like I do! The place is cozy and clean, I adore the vintage aesthetic. The staff is friendly and did an excellent job at giving recommendations. I got six half a dozen assorted cupcakes: lemon, strawberry, chocolate, coconut, and their seasonal offer: strawberry rosé. Lemon- The cake base is nice and rich. The frosting has a thick cream cheese base that is lemony and sweet. It also has touches of citrus tanginess. Strawberry- I love strawberry desserts and this did not disappoint! You can really taste the fruit in the frosting and it was a lovely flavor profile. I ate the lemon cupcake with this and turned into a strawberry lemonade cupcake! Chocolate- This had a deep chocolate flavor in both the cake and frosting. You get fun sprinkles to add some texture. Coconut- If you're looking for something mild, this is the way to go. The cake base has a nice vanilla flavor. The frosting gets the coconut and is really creamy. Tooped with frosted coconut flakes. Strawberry Rosé- This was a delight! The cake base has strawberry bits in it that adds a layer of fruity and sweet. The frosting has a wonderful bubbly flavor with a hint of strawberry. Great experience overall! read more

I wandered in for the first time today and it was like stepping into my favorite episode of Pushing Daisies! The place is immaculately clean and really cute. Very quick, friendly and attentive. I was all over the county on my bike doing some fun last minute Christmas shopping and a pair of cupcakes made for the most amazing and unexpected treat. Peanut butter and coconut, thank you Elaine!

We recently ordered cupcakes from SusieCakes. These cupcakes were just okay. The frosting was super sweet, dry, and somewhat chalky. I had the coconut one, with the white frosting, and that was disappointing. Had one tiny bite of the frosting and scooped it up and threw it away. Way too sweet and dry, it was almost crunchy! read more

I was in the area and happened to see Susie's Cake. I was excited to try some of their desserts. The service was really friendly and it's a cute bakery inside. I'm docking off stars because the cupcakes are really way too sweet. The worker recommended the chocolate since it would be bitter to balance out the sweetness. It was still very very sweet. I'm normally a strawberry cupcake type of gal, so I wanted to give that a try. The cream was too thick and sweet-- and I don't think this cupcake had any strawberry flavor at all. Like another review said, it tasted quite chalky. The cupcake was almost like a cornbread consistency. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie. At least this one was thin, soft and chewy. It was still overly sweet but better than the cupcakes. Overall, I wish the cupcakes were lighter and less dense. It's a very thick cake, with super thick cream. The sugar and sweetness was overwhelming. read more

I just want to express my sincere gratitude to the team at SusieCakes Costa Mesa for going above and beyond for me. As a busy mom juggling a million things, I accidentally placed my cake order for December 7th instead of November 7th -- a full month off! When I called the bakery to confirm pickup, they couldn't locate my order at first, and that's when we realized my mistake. Instead of turning me away, the team discussed it internally and somehow managed to expedite my order for same-day pickup. I was honestly so touched and incredibly grateful for their kindness and willingness to help. The cake turned out beautiful and absolutely delicious -- we went with "The Big One" theme, and the ombré blue design was perfect in every way. Thank you so much to the entire SusieCakes Costa Mesa staff for saving the day and making a stressed-out mom's life a little easier. Your service, care, and quality are unmatched! read more

Came in on a Sunday and we asked for a cookie that was on display and the lady behind the counter was super rude and aggressive. We understood that someone had just reserved them but her tone was super condescending and it was not a good experience. We left without purchasing anything and will definitely not be back to this location. read more

I have been a fan of Susie cakes since they opened at this location. All their cakes and cupcakes are delicious. They also have large variety of flavors. Their customer service is also amazing. They always make sure we got the cake decorated the way we want it. The place is clean and you can even see their kitchen and how they decorate their baked goods. They have outdoor dining areas as well. Definitely the best one for all occasions!! read more

Went in to satisfy a sweet craving and was definitely happy with what I got! I got a slice of the carrot cake which had a nice balance of cinnamon, sugar, and cream cheese. Loved the extra crunch from the nuts too. This is a bit on the sweeter side, but if you like that, this is great. Service was quick and friendly. The place was clean and is definitely more of a grab & go spot as there are no tables, but there are tables outside in the common open space. It's in a plaza of some sort so there's a lot of parking available. read more

This was my first time at Susie Cakes - I had heard about it but I didn't realize how close it was to my office. I was in a pinch and needed some cake for a little get-together for my son's 'early' birthday celebration, but I definitely didn't want grocery store cake. I'm actually a baker, so the bar is set high for my family when it comes to cake - they are used to having fresh baked cakes that aren't dry or that have been in the freezer for who knows how long. But since this little celebration was pulled together kinda at the last minute, and it was during the week, I really didn't have any time to bake. Thank goodness SusieCakes popped up on my Yelp search! I picked up a few slices - carrot, marble and celebration vanilla - which were perfect for 5 people. We actually had some leftover. Everyone really enjoyed them - they weren't dry, you could tell tbey were fresh baked, and they tasted really good. The only one that someone commented on was the vanilla celebration cake - that it was too sweet. But I have to admit that this is a great option for me when I'm in a pinch. It's hard to find bakeries that I'm ok with buying cake at when I'm not able to bake myself. We're actually having another get-together tonight, so I'm going back after work to pick up some treats we can have for dessert. Just a note - they have an app which you can earn points towards I'm not really sure what - but if you like earning points with your purchases, be sure to load the app and create a profile before going there - their wi-fi is REALLY slow so it'll take you forever if you do it there - that's what happened to me. The shop is small but cute - they have a few little party supplies available, and the young ladies who helped me were very nice! read more

They couldn't handle a changed order almost ending up with no cake for today's wedding shower. I was put on hold for nearly 9 minutes. I had a taste of the cake, and it wasn't anything special. Why is this company so highly rated? read more

I fell in love with Susie's lemon cake! Lucious, irresistible and so addictive. Susie's other cakes look just tempting. Lots of cute cupcakes and cookies to go for as well. The humble chocolate chip cookie is to die for! Soft and chocolaty! Cakes can be customized for that special occasion. All cakes are baked and decorated on site. Will definitely come back! read more

My wife and I discovered Susie Cakes by accident and we're glad we did! We just had dinner nearby and decided to take a look in the store. All the cakes looked amazing and we decided on a slice of lemon cake. The cake was great! It had Madagascar vanilla cake with fresh lemon curd and frosted vanilla buttercream. Moist, rich, indulgent ---- just a really good slice of cake. The store itself is very nice: simple and stylish in decor and completely focused on the colorful cakes and cupcakes. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and the woman who served us the cake was a gem. What a nice place for a dessert! We'll stop by again and try some of the other cakes. read more

SusieCakes is my absolute small chain bakery, and CM is my favorite location! Not sure how this is my first review but nevertheless, here we are! What I love most about this location is that even though they may not know me by name, I know they recognize me and always give me the best greetings. The staff is consistently nice, consistently helpful, and warm and inviting. I've been helped by many, but today, shoutout to Suzie! I bought a mint chocolate, pumpkin cream cheese, sees Bordeaux, and received a red velvet cupcake for having my leg pulled lol. All were delicious! I love the sees candy collaboration. The other thing about SusieCakes is that the product is always consistent. I've never had a bad cupcake, cookie, cake or pie slice. I'll probably be taking another trip in for Thanksgiving! read more

My fiancé and I came in for a wedding cake tasting and I have to shout out our host, Andy, for a spectacular experience! We were happily greeted and guided through their classic menu with a few off menu surprises as well! We had such a relaxed and fun experience and Andy was able to answer our questions and make recommendations for our big day! Didn't feel salesy or pitchy at all. Very happy with our choices and excited for the final product :) thank you Andy!!! read more

No truly "gluten free" items which is a bummer.. but they had 2 "flourless" items. A peanut butter cookie and a flourless chocolate cucpcake with buttercream frosting. It was pretty darn good. Not as good as Sprinkles or Frosted brand GF cupcakes, but still good. Service was nice, big hello upon entry. Thanks for the yummy treat Susie Cakes read more

Not for me. Truth be told, I am not a cake guy. I am into pies. The exceptions are bundt cakes or carrot cakes (without raisins). Someone at work brought a FUNFETTI white vanilla celebration cake in for a birthday. I think I had seen the name on a grocery store cake box mix but never had any interest. The idea of mini sugar discs mounted onto a semi-moist or dry cake with frosting that might be a sugar bomb never appealed to me. So many grocery store cakes have super sweet frosting where flavor is absent and all you taste is table sugar. Since this came from a bakery I crossed my fingers. Although, I have found other items at SusieCakes far too sweet. This cake was no exception. It was dense and somewhat moist but not overly so. The vanilla was pretty up front. The FROSTING was a full-on sugar bomb where the sugar was relentless. I am not sure how I picked up the vanilla with the sugar stealing the show. If you love sugar, by all means "sniff in". Otherwise, move it on out. Yuck. read more

SuzieCakes cake is so good! They also have delicious chocolate chip cookies- literally my favorite cookies! We often treat ourselves to one- they are huge. They also have tasty cupcakes, including gluten-free chocolate cupcakes. On this occasion we enjoyed the Old Fashioned 6 Layer Chocolate Cake. It is so tall! And is my recommended go to for that chocolate lover's birthday. So good, and tastes even better with milk or coffee. Their Berry Cake in the summer is wonderful, and the Carrot Cake is amazing. The incredible frosting makes it taste so good and the cakes are always moist and perfectly made. The application of the frosting not perfect and it looks very home-made, just like it tastes! read more

I have been a regular customer and have been coming in for the past few years. I love that as soon as I come in the customer service is always top quality and it honestly feels like they are a good neighbor or a friend. Always helpful and cakes and cupcakes are always consistent on quality. Easy to place orders or make adjustments (you give them a heads notice) I have been to other locations and while they all treat you well, I have to say this location is my personal favorite due to the wonderful staff! read more

I discovered SusieCakes within the past year and they've never let me down. Every bake I've tried has been outstanding--perfectly sweet and never dry. Their custom 4 cupcake sets are always a fun gift to friends too. The service is always great, but Dennis deserves a special shout-out! When I asked for recommendations, he was incredibly kind and pointed me toward their carrot cake. That carrot cake officially dethroned red velvet as my top choice. It's wonderfully spiced, and the texture from the raisins and nuts is just fantastic. read more

SusieCakes is an absolute fave. Whenever I'm out in the OC area, I try to grab some treats from here. I love their chocolate cake. It is one of the best I've ever had. They had a whiskey vanilla cupcake. It was good but not one of my favorites. Their mocha cupcake is also very delicious! This location is a walkup counter where you order from a case of yummy delicious goods. The staff was nice and accommodating when asked questions about their offerings. Highly recommend SusieCakes for anyone with a sweet tooth looking for a nice treat! read more

I'm sorry Susie, but I'll have to break up with you. For so many years, since your first Brentwood bakery opened I've been a fan. First, you now have employees that work here that obviously don't give a f*ck and they have terrible attitudes (Elaine), minus Noel. The client experience, docking 2 stars. You don't offer miniature cupcakes unless they are pre-ordered, there goes another Star. What happened to cookies, banana pudding, lemon and berry bars? And now this pre-packaged, pre-assembled cupcake box?!?! You and your strategic team of bakers have lost it or lost touched on the essence of being our local bakery. So commercialized! If this was the case I'd driven further to Costco for something prepackaged and yucky yet at least the folks at Costco are NICER and more professional! read more

It was my husbands birthday and I got slices of carrot cake, German chocolate cake and coconut cake. The cake was very dense and wasn't as fluffy. The banana cupcake was also very dense too sweet. The chipset chip cookie was by the far the best. Each slice of cake was about $8. I probably wouldn't return back just because the cake was too sweet and too dense. My husband wasn't a fan either unfortunately. Service was great though and they were all nice. read more

I absolutely love SusieCakes. Their cakes and frosting are fresh and delicious. But what I love more than anything and wait all year for are their seasonal Pecan pie. The crust is crispy and the pecans are toasted to perfection. It is my yearly go-to to kick off the holidays. My kids enjoy picking out a cupcake from their cupcake selections. They also sell candles for the cake if you have forgotten to get yours in time. The staff here are amazing, friendly and courteous as always. I love coming here. There is easy parking right outside. read more

I recently tried their carrot cake, gingerbread cookie, and two cupcakes (Vanilla and Strawberry). The carrot cake was flavorful, though a bit too sweet for my taste. I found myself wishing they offered hot tea, which would be a perfect pairing to help balance the richness of the cake. The gingerbread cookie was lovely--soft with a touch of chewiness that made it irresistible. A great seasonal treat! But the real stars of the show were the cupcakes. Both the Vanilla and Strawberry cupcakes were incredible! The buttercream was light, soft, and delicately sweetened, leaving me satisfied without the dreaded sugar crash. The store itself was clean and bright! i wished they had a little seating area so I can enjoy my treats there and chat with a few friends. Thankfully this plaza offered tons of place for seating BUT no where sold hot tea! Only cold boba and on a cold night I did not want that. read more

I made a stop after work and was wanting a sweet treat so I found this place and decided to give it a try. While the atmosphere was very bright and pleasant with the decorations, I think my overall experience was lacking due to the time i visited. It wasn't busy and there weren't many options for me to choose from probably given I arrived at about 5:30. I got the red velvet just to appease my craving and I was sad by the lack of flavor and dry texture. I think that it may have been resting in the refrigerator a little too long so I wasn't a fan. Given the reviews I wanted to like it but it just wasn't for me. Maybe I will give it another try in the future but i'm grateful for the experience and company of great staff. read more
