Every time I stop by, they greet everyone with genuine smiles, kindness, and such positive energy. It's refreshing to see how well they interact with every guest and how much they truly seem to care about making each visit special. Their customer service is consistently outstanding, and they always make me feel welcomed and appreciated. I'll admit, I probably stop by more often than I should (don't judge me! ), but it's honestly because the experience is just as sweet as the desserts. They always leave me smiling. Thank you, Climmiesha and Ariel, for making every visit such a great one. You both are a huge reason I look forward to coming back. Keep being amazing!

Cakes- Although initially the cakes were on the heavier / sweeter side than expected, the staff…read moreshared which cakes were sweeter, used cream cheese frosting vs buttercream, were more moist (even after a couple days), etc. Our favorite has been the Red Velvet- moist, cream cheese frosting, and not as sweet. You cannot go wrong with any of the cakes if you inherently like coconut, lemon, carrot cakes, birthday, and others (seasonal favorite is berry cake- Light, buttercream frosting, fresh berries, the best!) However, indulging in the cakes is not the main reason we come here. The people who open and close the store, who make the cakes, place them tantalizingly on the shelves, have dog treats/samples available, and the ability to somehow uplift any depressing mood (esp. our chemotherapy treatment days) and even my Shiba Inu's day, are the reason we chose this location. Cici (shortened) has done it all and has gone above and beyond to even greet Rufus, our dog as we walk past the store to give him a treat. She remembers what cake my mom enjoyed during chemotherapy, and always lifted our moods. I don't leave reviews on service, usually the food is what's important. This is one exception where I need to echo other reviewer sentiments that CiCi, Lucia, and Dennis have made this location our go to location because their professionalism, hard work, friendliness, empathy are all palpable. Thank you Cici, Lucia and Dennis for the cakes and cupcakes, (even making a cream cheese frosting cupcake instead of buttercream on the spot, because we asked). Cici we are grateful for sharing your time with Rufus as he has a new friend in DTLA. Moreover, for your kindness and ability to always sweeten and uplift even our roughest days.

This was actually our second time having this cake. While it's definitely on the pricer side, it is 100% worth every penny. It was my first time visiting the Downtown location--it's a bit cozy/small, but super clean and lovely. (The only tiny detail is that it would be awesome if they provided complimentary birthday candles like Korean bakeries do, but other than that, everything was great!) Highly recommend for special occasions!

I had no idea Sweet Lady Jane had opened a location in Downtown LA, so I was thrilled to see that…read morethey had made their way down here! I happened to be in DTLA and needed to pick up some desserts for a birthday party, so the timing worked out perfectly. I was able to pre-order online, which redirected me to DoorDash. I ordered a box of six cupcakes: Birthday, Red Velvet, Strawberry, S'mores (New!), Matcha Strawberry (New!), and Pumpkin Spice. I also ordered a slice of their Triple Berry Cake and Proper Carrot Cake. I didn't get a chance to try the two new cupcake flavors since those were reserved for the birthday gal, but I did get to try some of the Strawberry Cupcake, Triple Berry Cake, and Proper Carrot Cake. The Strawberry Cupcake was good, but nothing particularly out of the ordinary. The Triple Berry Cake, however, was so light and such a pleasure to eat. It's a classic vanilla sponge cake layered with blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries between light and fluffy whipped cream. The Proper Carrot Cake was definitely proper! It was everything you'd want from a classic carrot cake--filled with warm spices, walnuts, and raisins, with layers of walnut-caramel filling and cream cheese icing. It was much richer than the Triple Berry Cake, but equally satisfying in a completely different way. When I picked up my order, I noticed that the DTLA location doesn't offer the same cafe service as the Santa Monica and Melrose locations, where you can also get breakfast and lunch items like egg scrambles, pancakes, salads, soups, and sandwiches. The Downtown location also didn't seem to have quite as extensive of a cake selection as the other locations. Either way, I was still very satisfied with my haul, and most importantly, the birthday gal loved how pretty all of the cupcakes and cake slices looked! All in all, I'll definitely be back whenever I'm craving their cakes--and next time, I want to try their cookies!

I've been coming to this bakery for cream puffs for years and years and they are STILL the best…read moreI've ever had. They used to be 50-60 cents each when I first started going and now they're a $1 each but absolutely worth every cent!! There's another location in Garden Grove so Ktown or Garden Grove whatever's closer for you. The custard filling is rich, dense, creamy and perfectly sweetened. It's also filled all the way through unlike some places where they skimp out and it's a lot of dough/air. Just the teeniest bit of crust to hold the filling and it's basically just pure custard... soooooo so good. No frills bakery. Not here for the aesthetics just good cream puffs. They sell bread and cakes too but we are loyal cream puff enthusiasts. 50c charge for using credit card if you don't hit $10 I think but... 2 bags of cream puffs and you're good to go. I cleared these so quick. Buy more than you think you're going to need and ESPECIALLY if you plan on sharing!! These cleared out in SECONDSSS before we even got the freeway back home. Easy parking. There's only 1 row in front and usually taken (since they're right next door to BCD) but there's the whole rest of the plaza to park in so don't even worry.

I've ordered from them multiple times, and every time, they absolutely nail it, even with some of the more unhinged requests I've thrown their way. No matter how niche or wild the idea, she goes above and beyond to bring it to life, and I appreciate that so much. Beyond the aesthetics, the flavors are incredible. The cakes aren't overly sweet, which I love, and she offers unique flavors that are hard to find outside of Korea, like mugwort injeolmi, alongside delicious options like earl grey. She even made a custom Pochacco cake for my friend's birthday, and it was perfect. Petit Bonbon LA is hands down my go-to for every event. If you want a cake that's both stunning and delicious, I can't recommend them enough! (I'll share some pics of past orders so you can see just how amazing they are.)
