Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake, Strawberry Cupcake, Chocolate Vanilla Cupcake
Kyra K.

My Dad wanted a sweet treat for his birthday. After our afternoon activities, I took us to SusieCakes. It satisfied our sweet tooth and was a nice way to celebrate. I've had SusieCakes before and enjoyed it, but this was my first time at their Laurel Village location. It's bright, clean, and smallish. Once you arrive, there's a counter with all the cupcakes on display. It can get busy, and there is a small table with two stools; most people take out, which is what we did. Service was efficient and kind. We all chose our own cupcakes. I got a Chocolate Vanilla, my dad had the Pineapple Upside Down Cake, and his friend got the Strawberry. Everyone enjoyed their cupcakes. Sweet, moist on the inside, and a good amount of frosting, all traits of a good cupcake! For those in the mood for a sweet treat or celebratory cake or cupcake, you can rely on SusieCakes. Their location in Laurel Village is easy to find off California Street, with metered parking in the front and parking in the back.

Wow, I bought a cake here last minute as I heard their red velvet cheesecake frosting is one their best seller. I wanted a change from the place I normally go to, so I thought why not and it did not disappoint. That cake is super heavy in weight as everything was tasty for last minute pickup and everyone enjoyed it when I brought it in for a celebration at work next day! I definitely adding this place to my list of cakes to pick up for special occasions. Parking easy in parking lot in back or neighborhood parking is somewhat easy. Yummy in my tummy.

SusieCakes is by far one of my favorite places to get cakes and desserts. The customer service here is always amazing. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a smile, and the staff are consistently friendly and helpful. The cakes themselves are fantastic. They're always moist, flavorful, and topped with a rich buttercream frosting that isn't overly sweet. There's a great variety of options to choose from, plus seasonal flavors that rotate throughout the year. My personal favorites are the Celebration Cake and the Carrot Cake, but honestly, you really can't go wrong with anything here. Overall, SusieCakes is a reliable spot for high-quality desserts, whether you're celebrating something special or just craving a slice of cake. Highly recommend.

Cupcake

Hands down my favorite cupcakes in the city! The cake is so moist, it's freshly baked every day, and visually appealing. There are so many options with icing and cake combos. The price is definitely high at around 5 dollars / cupcake and 9 dollars / cake slice, but it's absolutely worth it on a special occasion. Parking is very easy on weekday nights around the area. Service is very efficient. Store is clean and bright. They don't usually run out so you can arrive later in the day. My favorite is the red velvet cupcake with plain frosting! Definitely on the sweeter side, so I can't eat more than one in one sitting.

Service was not excellent! All the people working were kind and helpful. Lemon and a chocolate cupcake... so good.

I think this is one of the cutest cake shops around and it's always so clean and the presentation in the cases is top tier. I came in specifically for the Susiecakes x See's Candies collab but I was a day too late. I didn't want to leave empty handed so I took my time deciding what I wanted to get. I choose the chocolate chip cookie. Upon entering the store I was greeted by the staff and Dina helped me with my order. I told her I wanted the See's cupcake but she let me know it had ended already. She knew how much I was looking forward to it so she let me know their next collab is end of Sept. She even gave me a goodie because I missed out on the collab. Such wonderful customer service at this store! I will be back again!

I remember getting susie cakes while living in San Diego so it's been awhile since I've indulged in its splendor. We came here after checking out the coffee shop across the street, and it's such a cute spot for an any time of day drop in. I am obsessed with the turquoise color theme and the adorable wall of any possible accessories for a cake or cupcake celebration. They have a healthy milk of premade cakes and cupcakes, and with seasonal flavors. They also have a sampler case in the front. Their cranberry sponge was deelicioussss. My husband and I chose to do the mocha and the strawberry. The mocha cupcake was one of the best cupcakes I've ever had- 5/5 for sure. The flavors of the cake and frosting were a perfect blend of mocha but the cake was INCREDIBLY moist. The strawberry cupcake was meh. I'd give it 3/5. The cake was flavorless and dry! So sad compared to the mocha cupcake. The frosting was delicious though and the saving grace.

Southern Red Velvet Cupcake /these are the Easter decor. They normally don't look like this.

Recently celebrated one of my friend's birthday and another friend's retirement. Got them some mini cupcakes from Susie Cakes and some balloons from next door. We celebrated at the Harborview Restaurant & Bar. Beautiful cakes that's tasty and so pretty, too. Mini cupcakes are perfect for those that don't want a lot of sweets, but want to celebrate the moment. Great choice for parties. This location is nearby to our house, so it's easy to pick up some sweets for any special occasion. Friendly service. Located on California and Locust.

There are hardly any special occasions in our household that haven't been celebrated with SusieCakes. We'll use any excuse: St Paddy's Day? Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes. Birthdays? Celebration Cake with celebrant's embarrassing nickname in pink icing. Thanksgiving? Their incredibly moist & sweet Carrot Cake. Random Wednesday? A slice of Red Velvet. I've always said that as I get older, my taste for overly-sweet desserts have decreased but SusieCakes is the exception. Their frosting is saaa-weeet, but I like it (or I'm used to it.) Most recently we came in for some cupcakes, & they are as good today as they were years ago when we started buying from this baker. From their multi-layer cakes that we've come to know & rely on to their limited edition seasonal cupcakes, SusieCakes never fails to make a good impression at my get togethers.

Peanut butter and mocha
Cathrin P C.

Above all else, SusieCakes has exceptional service and after visiting a couple of different locations, this remains to be consistent at every store. Their vibrant decor and friendly service draws customers to return. Their stores always give that old timey, classic vibe where customer satisfaction is always their priority. They have so many choices, it's hard to decide on just one. I tried 3: slice of tropical coconut layered cake with noticeable pineapple bits in each layer, peanut butter cupcake, and mocha chocolate cupcake. I believe the slice was about $8 and the cupcakes were $6. I can't quite remember because I used a giftcard for my purchase. If you're a fan of that classic buttercream, then you're going to like SusieCakes. If you prefer a less sweet and lighter cake, this might be overwhelming for your palate. It helps to pair it with some coffee to cut the sweetness. I also liked eating the cupcake with a fork so that I could control the amount of frosting on each bite. Each cupcake, though small, is so rich that you'll definitely be satisfied with just one. Their presentation is beautiful so if you're looking to buy this as a gift, you won't be disappointed.

This bakery never disappoints! I absolutely adore Susiecakes. They have the best cupcakes and cakes in the city. The employees are friendly, the bakery is very clean, and the selection of seasonal flavors and decorations are in always in a steady rotation that keeps things interesting. It's my favorite dessert place! There was such a cute wedding cake on display when I visited, which I think is inspired by Taylor Swift's Recent engagement?! See attached pic! All of their flavors are terrific! Here is my ranking of them with the best first: Susie's Famous Southern Red Velvet, Vanilla Celebration (birthday), Old-Fashioned Chocolate, Luscious Lemon, Tropical Coconut, Carrot Cake... I also like their Chocolate Chip cookies. I haven't yet tried their pies. I prefer this store location over the Marina location, which is takeout only. This store is significantly larger and has two stools inside, as well as benches outside on the sidewalk.

Delectable cakes!
Jennifer O.

We always get the 6-layer Celebration cake with the signature blue icing. It is delicious, amazing and really pretty. For this special birthday, his 18th, I ordered the Luscious Lemon cake with layers of lemon curd and buttercream frosting, mmmmm! The 6" size cake is more generous than you'd think and every bite was both tart and sweet, the cake so moist, the delicious cake sugar sprinkled on top of the icing crunching on your teeth. The cake quickly disappeared because my son is the Incinerator. Wait until he finds out he can ask for a free piece of birthday cake for 30 days after his birthday! What will he choose? I'll report back. Quaint space, centrally located and plentiful metered parking right outside.

Cupcakes
Joseph A.

To Good Too Go TGTG order. Chanced on the offer and having seen other Yelpers post about SusieCaked decided to place an order. The shop was adorable, the staff gracious, and the packaging so cute. As for the cupcakes the buttercream was a bit heavy for me, but given the discounted price it was still a decent value. I prefer a very light buttercream so it was nice to check out the version at SusieCaked via TGTG.

That's why I decided to take my chances around 11am when the line was significantly shorter. I waited maybe 15-20 minutes. Downside was I didn't have too many savory options left to choose from. I had only one savory option left: the butternut chorizo croquiche. Only thing I wish they did was separate the savory from the sweet because when we bit into it, pieces of chorizo fell onto the dessert-y pastries. Reminded me of that Friends episode where Rachel made a beef trifle for dessert. *I wasn't supposed to put beef in the trifle* I think the savory pastry was the best. We also had the chocolate chip cookie (not my fav, too crumbly), the banana pain au chocolat and the lemon vanilla bean filled cruffin. I'm having vague memories of that last one. I just remember it was really messy when you unleashed the cream. Among the sweet desserts, I liked the banana chocolate croissant the best! It wasn't overly sweet. I also got the salted maple pecan latte and I really enjoyed their housemade whipped cream! And the latte wasn't too sweet either :) I expected to spend a pretty penny on 4 pastries and a latte. It was ~$40 overall. It was less sticker shock and more quiet resignation. Anyway, I would still happily try their pastries again as I know they have a seasonal menu, but you won't find me in line at 7am.

Heard about this place and I'm so glad it was open today! Usually there's only one item for sale…read moreon any given day, and the menu item for today was Moon Cake. I hadn't had a traditional one yet this year, so that was a plus for me. Normally I'm not crazy about the nut moon cakes, but this one was terrific! It was the best moon cake I've had in a while - regular lotus seed with yolk and nuts. The lady at the bakery reminded me of an "auntie" and she was super friendly! Even though today was moon cake, I took a chance and asked if she had any wife cake (Low Po Behng). Unfortunately she didn't, but we had a nice little conversation in Cantonese and it brought me back to childhood and Chinatown in L.A. back in the day. Some people might not like that it's closed (I think that's when she runs out or isn't baking that day) but that's just how it goes. It's nothing personal if someone drives a long way and it's closed. It sounds like sometimes the lines can be long (There was no line for us today - score!) but it's everyone's choice if they're willing to wait or not. It's a little place and you order through the door. To me, that just adds to the quirky adventure of it all. Next time I hope she has Low Po Behng!

FINALLY able to try the egg tarts from Golden Gate Bakery after numerous attempts. The hours are so…read moreunpredictable, and we honestly wouldn't have realized it was open if there wasn't a line on the sidewalk because the gates were still drawn. Took about 15-20 minutes to get through several people. We tried both the egg tarts ($3.50/ea) and the white lotus paste double egg yolk mooncake ($13). They don't use lard, so if you're vegetarian, snack away! Egg tart shell was super flaky and thin; custard was *very* egg-y. It was a little more like egg souffle than egg custard, and not as silky as I personally like. Still delicious though, 8/10. Mooncake was pretty solid and the filling had some surprise macadamia nuts in there, which added a nice texture. The skin wasn't my favorite, but I think that's just personal preference. Not too sweet. 7/10. Would come back to grab an egg tart if I ever happen to catch this place open again.
