I tried their cinnamon rolls (delicious), biscoff cheesecake (amazing and I'm not a huge fan of biscoff cookies), and the banana less pudding (wish I got more)! Staff were really kind! They offer complimentary coffee with a purchase - if I heard right. I didn't take it because I had to stay awake. They have a large parking lot, right next to the 91 freeway. read more

Sweet Valentine's Bakery has a wide selection of cakes and treats, which I really appreciated. I ended up trying the German chocolate cake to compare it to my favorite spot, and while it didn't quite reach that level for me, it was very close and definitely competitive. The brown butter chocolate chip cookie was a standout--really delicious and worth going back for. On the other hand, the churro-flavored cookie and the chocolate chip walnut cookie didn't do it for me. They were a bit lacking in flavor, and I personally prefer my cookies to have that crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside texture. These were softer than I like, but that could just come down to preference. One thing I did really like is that they give full cookie samples, not just tiny bites--that's a nice touch and shows confidence in their product. Service was very good, friendly, and welcoming. Overall, I'd come back to try more of their cakes and definitely get the brown butter chocolate chip cookie again. read more

We had just finished eating across the street and were craving something sweet, so we decided to stop into Sweet Valentine Bakery. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted right away. The place is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Through the glass display you can see their cakes, and they are beautifully decorated. Everything looks fresh and very nicely presented. The employee behind the counter even offered us a free cookie to try, which was a really nice gesture. I usually eat low carb, so I just had a small taste, but it was absolutely delicious. It wasn't overly sweet, which I really liked. The cakes reminded me a bit of the style you see at Nothing Bundt Cakes, and they also have a small refrigerator with individual cakes packaged in containers that you can grab and go. Overall, it's a very nice place. I'm not from the area. I was there doing business. So I don't get out that way often. But if I ever find myself nearby again, I would definitely stop back in. If you're in the area and looking for something sweet, I would recommend checking this place out. read more

Walked in for work reasons, was given a chocolate chip cookie upon arrival, purchased the banana pudding to-go, ate banana pudding in my truck and immediately was a fan! The banana pudding alone, slaps. Aside from that, the storefront is clean, inviting, filled with pretty packages of baked goods and the employees are serving happiness, joy and just positive vibes. I left and one of the employees said, "Have a sweet day!" BRANDING! Love it here! I would come here and pick-up banana pudding as a sweet treat for people I really like/love. Of course, I will be back to try more, but for now, I will testify that the banana pudding is worth stopping in and trying and also a nice gift for a friend or relative! read more

First, I want to say that I love the treats here especially the banana pudding. I've been coming for almost three years and have always had a good experience up until recently. The last two visits within the past month have been disappointing due to customer service. There's an older woman who has helped me both times. On one visit with my husband, I asked if the $2 lemonade deal was still available, and she ignored my question and rolled her eyes. Then today, when I came with my mom, she asked, "How many lemonades do you want?" in a rude tone and again rolled her eyes. I truly enjoy supporting this business, but these interactions make it uncomfortable to return. I hope customer service can improve, because the quality of the treats deserves a better experience. Banana pudding 10/10 ALWAYS Lemonade 10/10 Coconut cake was definitely a solid 9 read more

Ordered a funfetti Bundt cake, sock it to me Bundt cake, and 4 dozen sprinkle cookies for our baby sprinkle. 10/10 recommend! Everyone was delicious! It was the first time we've hosted a party where almost all the desserts were done. This family owned bakery is better than any big corporation you'll go to. Will definitely use for all our future parties read more

Picked up a TGTG order and also bought a cinnamon roll to try. Their cinnamon rolls have some of the best soft texture I've ever had from store bought! The icing is sweet but has a good cream cheesy flavor to it. The girls working there are friendly and they have so many options in the cold case. Puddings, cakes etc. they also offered a cookie sample which was nice of them. Pricing is also fair, plenty of parking in the lot. read more

Sweet Valentine Bakery - Red Velvet Cake 10" - Bakeries Near Me - Carson, California

Run... don't walk... to this bakery if you need some sweet treats! First of all, they hand you a free cookie when you walk in... who else does that? NO ONE! I hope they don't mind me saying that. lol The cookie was delicious... I knew we were off to a good start! My mom loves coconut cake. So of course, I turned to Yelp to find the best one for her birthday. Sweet Valentine got me with the "southern coconut." The reason this is my mom's favorite is because my grandmother always made it for holidays when she was a little girl. When I told them it was for her birthday, they decorated it with cute flowers and a little Happy Birthday sign. I was hoping my mom would like the cake. I quote, "I suspect that they went to my mother's kitchen and stole her recipe. I feel like I'm 6-years old again." That is the highest compliment you can give because my grandmother was an AMAZING cook! When I looked at other bakeries, they wanted at least $75 for a cake. This one was less than $50. An incredible value, especially considering how delicious it was! I went back today to get a red velvet cake for my son's birthday. I can't wait to see his reaction. I know he will love it. Please support this business! The shop is really cute and super clean. Everything is on display beautifully. The prices are BEYOND reasonable. The owner, Matthew Valentine, and his staff are really friendly! But most important, the sweet treats are really AMAZING!! read more

Wow! What an amazing experience at Sweet Valentine Bakery! We must protect and support this place, at all costs! Walking in, I immediately felt "at home". The interior is very well decorated and has the aroma of fresh baked goods, coming out of the oven. It reminding me of going to Grandma's house and smelling fresh peach cobbler! The lady behind the counter had a huge smile and genuinely welcomed me in, and offered me a sample chocolate chip cookie while I made my decision. Great touch! She asked if there was anything I was looking for, specifically, because they just made some fresh batches of items and could get it from the back. Spectacular customer service! I was indecisive and ended up getting way too many desserts: - Banana Pudding - 5/5 - the custard is so creamy and not overly sweet, the layering of the Nilla wafers and bananas were perfect ratios. It was super fresh because the bananas still had normal colors and hadn't blackened. Top tier banana pudding! - Biscoff Banana Pudding - 5/5 - great modern take on a classic banana pudding! Had biscoff cookies and cookie butter swirl inside. It's definitely a bit on the sweeter side but the family loved it! - Sock it to me cake - 5/5 - I haven't had a sock it to me cake this good since my Grandma's! Holy moly! Super light and airy but also crazy moist! The sweetness level was great and a good amount of pecans. This was awesome! - Peach Cobbler - 3.8/5 - The flavor of the cobbler itself was very good. Very cinnamon forward, which I actually enjoyed. It was just a little too "wet" for my liking. Also, it's more of a crispy pie crust style. So, it's wet and crunch at the same time. Flavor profile is great but textures were polarizing. Overall, the customer service was amazing the desserts are off the charts. Can't wait to come back for more banana pudding and to try their cinnamon rolls and red velvet. A must stop if you're in the area! read more

The owner was the server and shared his baking history. Offered a free sample and all around a nice person. I tried the original banana pudding, chocolate chip cookies, and maple cake. All were 10/10! read more

Went in because I searched a bakery that had sweet potato pie. This bakery stated they sell some. I get there to buy one for my boyfriend's birthday in December and they had NO pie. Ended up buying cookies which were quite tasty. They had nice service. read more

Sweet Valentine Bakery is the sweetest! The owner and baker, Matthew Valentine is so nice and has a really cool story. His first inspiration into the culinary and baking world stems from a southern cookbook his grandmother gave him as a child. Sweet Valentine started in Matthews's garage in 2020, and became a brick and mortar a year ago. The bakery smells so good, upon entering, with nice and bright decor. I was greeted by Cathy from behind the counter and she was just sweetest too. Both Matthew and Cathy helped me choose their best-selling and favorites since it was my first time there. I was picking up an assortment of treats to bring into my office for an event. The banana pudding was phenomenal. The book it to me cake was amazing. The brown butter pound cake was delicious. All of the cookies were a huge hit. I was hoping to take some leftover treats home, but there was nothing left. My colleagues devoured it all! I'm definitely coming back to Sweet Valentine Bakery for all of the above plus the fresh baked cinnamon rolls that were calling me my name and to try their coffee too! read more

Holy smokes this place is good! I went in today with the goal of getting some banana pudding. The store is locate in a small shopping center with a DD's discounts and next to a Subway. There's lots of parking so no worries there. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted and offered a cookie "sample" that was delicious. I put quotes around sample as it was a normal sized cookie. There was a variety of pastries and sweets from cookies to croissants, cobbler, and of course banana pudding. I got two of the original flavor and one Nutella flavor. There was also a Biscoff flavor that's a must try for next time. Both the original and Nutella flavors were absolutely dreamy! Creamy and just the perfect amount of banana flavor. I honestly didn't know what to expect since I've only had homemade before but it was excellent. I'm so happy to have such a high quality sweets shop so close to me. read more

This spot can be a little hard to find if you're not already looking for it--you could easily drive past without noticing--but once you're inside, it's absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is warm and homely, and the staff is genuinely friendly. They offer a great variety of pastries, and everything we tried was delicious. The standout for us was the banana pudding, but all the pastries we sampled were tasty and well-made. I'll definitely be returning to try more of their menu. Highly recommend giving this place a visit if you're in the area. read more

Such a cute bakery/cafe. We walked in and they handed us each a free brown butter chocolate chip cookie!! The cinnamon cold brew with caramel was delicious! And the chocolate cake (split between me and the hubby) was delicious and not too dry despite being individually packaged. The icing was also so beautifully draped on the slice. It was a very pretty. read more

Run! And do not walk to this bakery!!! You walk in, you're greeted warmly and handed a full choc chip cookie sample! The cookie was lovely, and set my expectations high. Then i see that everything else in that store is DIVINE. I bought up a little of everything as you can see. I had some bites of the regular banana pudding when I got back to work and was TRANSPORTED to someone's granny house in Louisiana!! I saved the biscoff banana pudding for my son, and now I'm his plug, he's texting me like a fiend, lmao. I used the too good to go app and recieved 2 cinnamon rolls and the peach cobbler, which are soooo good!! The other stuff I bought on top because it looked so good. I'll definitely be back.

I have been to this location 3 times and have always enjoyed my experiences and desserts. When you enter the employees are friendly and always offer you a complimentary cookie which is always delicious. Today, we celebrated my grandpa's 92nd birthday and "Sock It To Me" cake is one of his favorites. I wanted to do better than a grocery store cake so I decided to give them a try and bring it to his party. This cake was a hit at the party and everyone loved it. My grandpa went back for seconds which he doesn't normally do. I will definitely be coming back and can't wait to try more of their desserts! read more

The Store Staff was sooooo welcoming!! Even gave us a cookie which was delicious. I ended up buying there maple bundt cake as a walk in so I was pretty happy with being able to do that. I found out it's a family owned business. #keepsmallbusinessalive. You can also pick up slices of pies,cakes and cookies. read more

I ordered from the "too good to go app" and was able to get a bag that had a cheese croissant (on the saltier side) coconut pudding which was delicious and 2 cinnamon croissants. I was offered a sugar cookie sample as well which was really yummy and probably my fav besides the pudding. Not bad at all especially since the items are from the app deal and not "fresh" so I bet it would be even better if I get them fresh. The service was very nice and I think is family owned. The ambiance is very clean but is in the corner of the shopping center so I didn't even know this place was here. I will definitely be coming back! read more

WORTH THE TRY. You get a free cookie. The customer service and BANANA PUDDING make the drive worth it. If you are going to try anything, let it be that; my family buys the Large lol. I've tried almost everything but really only come back for the BP and their menu is still growing bc they listen to their customers!!!!!! Storytime: On my first visit my husband wanted to try their RedVelvetCake, something smaller than a whole cake but more than 1 little slice. We asked if they sell mini cake bundts out of curiosity. NOW THEY SELL MINI CAKE BUNDTS. Called "Teeny Bundts". If you need more convincing than that then let me know read more

Very much enjoyed the free cookie at the shop and throughly enjoyed the cinnamon roll & toffee cheesecake that we brought home

I loved the fact I was able to walk-in last minute and grab a whole dessert option for a party, rather than just single serve options. I bought a large Banana Pudding. It was about $43. Everyone at the party loved it. Not too sweet. Light and delicious. I will definitely be back. Also, their Brown Butter Cookie which the gave me as a free treat with my order was perfect. It's a chocolate chipless cookie. Delicious! read more

This establishment definitely deserves five stars. The parking can be a bit tight but there's plenty. When you walk in the team members warmly greet you although they're helping other customers. I'm assuming it's customary to give customers a sample. I sampled a warm chocolate chip cookie. It was crispy yet soft. I didn't know anything about this bakery but following the "Too Good To Go" app, I discovered it. I'm a serious fan of cinnamon rolls so I'll definitely be stopping by again. They have a light in the window "Hot Cinnamon Rolls" which I'm assuming is switched on when the rolls are fresh out of the oven. I wouldn't mind having that experience. I got a chance to sample their cake and cinnamon rolls in my "To Good" order but I can only imagine what they taste like freshly baked. One difference in the cinnamon rolls is the icing. It's not the flaky heart icing It's more whipped. I look forward to giving it a try because the cake and rolls were magnificent!!! read more

Stopped by sweet Valentine Bakery yesterday and had a great experience. Was greeted by the workers and was given a free chocolate chip cookie to sample. There are tables and chairs to enjoy your treats. As I walked in it looked like the owners were getting interviewed for a podcast. I checked out the counter and saw all the delicious looking Bundt cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, pies, and banana cream pudding. I ended up with the brown butter chocolate chip cookies, banana pudding, and a cinnamon roll. Everything tasted great and satisfied my sweet tooth. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other cakes. read more
