9/26/2026 First time here! Been wanting to visit for a long time! BLUM'S COFFEE CRUNCH CAKE Very subtle mocha coffee flavor in the cream filling. But when eaten with the honey crunch (honeycomb candy), it is so good! Burnt caramelized sugar. Spongy, soft, moist cake. Big chunks of honeycomb candy was crispy and sweet. It would be a delicious cake to bring to parties and gatherings. However, the honeycomb candy disintegrates into the cake if eaten the next day! So be mindful as you buy a slice or whole cake! This cake can only be eaten the day of! HOUJICHA CARAMEL LATTE Earthy houjicha with subtle caramel flavor and touch of saltiness at the end. You can taste the buttery flavor of the caramel. I got it hot and the foam was well done too. This was delicious! A good marriage of two flavors! MISO SHOYU MOCHI CAKE Mochi cake was chewy as expected. Delicious miso and caramel flavor. The miso caramel flavor is sweet, but the mochi cake is slightly sweetened, but it tasted like it was sweetened with a sugar substitute or maybe they added less sugar. The miso caramel is quite sweet, so it does balance the mochi flavor's non-sweetness level. The black sesame on top brings a nuttiness too. Overall, it was good. I think mochi cake and butter mochi cake fans would love this! COFFEE CAKE The cake was soft, but the cinnamon was weak. It tasted a bit like light cornbread, strange to say. Overall it was good, but really wanted a strong brown sugar and cinnamon flavor. This was my least favorite of everything I've tried. CHOCOLATES & PETIT FOURS Matcha Tea Truffle - Enrobed in white chocolate with matcha ganache center. Good fruity matcha with hint of bitterness. It did have a weird soapy aftertaste though. Jasmine Tea Truffle - You can taste a strong tea flavor in it, yet you can't tell it's jasmine. It tastes like black tea. It starts off delicious and suddenly the aftertaste with the combo of the tea flavors is soapy! Rice & Sesame Caramel - Nutty, black sesame flavor with toasted rice / scorched rice flavor mingles together with buttery caramel! The aftertaste is a strong roasted, nutty, smoky, salty flavor at the end that was beautifully surprising and delicious! The best one out of all the chocolates and petit fours I've tried! Earl Grey Petit Four - Good, strong Earl Grey flavor, that Bergamont flavor coming in at the end was delightful! This was enrobed in white chocolate ganache. The flavor of the white chocolate is off and tastes soapy, which is a shame because the Earl Grey flavor with the spongy cake was beautiful! But I realize after tasting the other tea flavored chocolates that it's the combination of the tea flavors with the white chocolate that leaves that soapy aftertaste! Champagne Petit Four - Light boozy petit four. The sponge inside was moist and the chocolate was a semi-dark chocolate which was good. All the flavors linger together after the petit four is gone. I think this would be great for bridal showers with a glass of champagne! or Afternoon Tea-like gatherings. Espresso Petit Four - Was a bit confused to what this was for a minute after having tried the Earl Grey petit four. For a quick minute, the Espresso has that lingering flavor of the Earl Grey. Espresso one was good and did have ground up espresso beans on top. No bitterness at the end. ONLINE ORDERS AVAILABLE You can order online as well. Shipping available for chocolates and cakes too. Blum's Coffee Crunch Cake is available to order via Goldbelly. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and good customer service. Patiently answered my questions too. AMBIANCE + SEATS The shop was clean and it showcased many chocolates, sweets, pies and cakes on display. There are outdoor seats directly in front of shop. However, the best part of this shop is the back of the shop, where they had wooden tables and chairs. It was such a cute area! Didn't eat there, but took a quick look before heading back. I think they could seat about 20-22 people. PARKING Difficult to find. Some street parking and neighborhood street parking available. Parking is available directly in front of shop too, but it would be very difficult to get that spot. On Elm Ave. + Glenoaks Blvd there was neighborhood construction, so limited parking. Would love to return in the future! So many variety of savory and sweets, baked goods, chocolates and cookies too! read more

I had an online pick up order here for a strawberry trifle and it was sooo good. I also got the basque cheesecake to try and I really liked the smoky flavor coming from the burnt top. The service was great; they even offered to help take the cake to my car. As for the shop itself, it's so cute with a little bit of decorations which did not take away from the sweets being presented before you. Definitely would come back! read more

Tasty little bakery with a delicious black sesame yuzu mochi cake! I love mochi and was so happy to hear about this cake they make.. it's not too sweet and such a fun texture to eat! I've also tried their pumpkin pie.. classic! As well as their honeycomb cake which is so light and wonderful! The honeycomb adds such a fun crunch as well! read more

Love them! The cakes and pastries are delicious and decadent. Plus their service is impeccable and consistent.

My Yelp buddies with great taste lead me here (Hi Nikki B. and Joseph A.!)... thank you for this terrific find! Am blown away at how good this bake/confectionary shop is! The COFFEE CRUNCH CAKE here is the BEST coffee flavored cake I have ever tasted. It's a two layered chiffon cake that's light and fluffy that's finished off with coffee whipped cream and covered in coffee honeycomb. Great texture contrast and the perfect sweetness level. It's my favorite cake now! Cakes are available by slice at the store; whole cakes may be ordered online or in person and I believe they require 24 to 48 hrs notice. Valerie's Confection is a great bake shop that is known for their artisan chocolates and confectionery products. Owner Valerie is nationally recognized for her crafts and desserts! Come check this place out. There are two locations: Echo Park and Glendale, CA. -CARD ONLY (cashless) read more

Yay! A long long time ago I tried Blumes Coffee Crunch cake when I went to DTLAs grand central Market. It was the best slice of cake I had ever tasted with the different textures- crunchy coffee honeycomb and airy cake which isn't mega sweet...And then they were gone! Didn't know about the other locations and kind of just filed it away in a corner of my brain. THEN I randomly drove past this location and all the memories came rushing back. SCORE!! Small shop with coffee drinks, baked goods, chocolates, and small takeaway snacks/treats for home or gifting. Btw, Blumes Coffee Crunch Cake - Still amazing! I also tried the mochi shoyu caramel cake and I'm a sucker for all these ingredients. The cake is chewy with a hint of sesame flavor throughout and has like a toffee caramelized top. so good and again not too sweet. They have some seating out front and a cute little patio seating area on the side. read more

Staff was helpful. This place is a grab and go. Caramel Latte- 7/10 The staff went a little overboard on the caramel. The espresso had a strong burnt taste. Salted Maple Latte- 7/10 This latte would have been great. The only thing that really altered the taste was the burnt espresso. read more

This was a place where I literally wanted to sample everything they had in their display cases. Valerie certainly makes great confections. It's a cute little shop with an adjacent building where they serve afternoon tea. That's an experience I'll have to come back for on another day. Love afternoon tea services! We came for a few slices of their famous Coffee Crunch Cake (and a few other treats) but I was seriously considering buying the whole cake. It was delectable and a huge party hit. Also got a couple of the Mochi Shoyu Caramel Cake and Passionfruit Pie. Each dessert was really unique and stood out on their own. I really had a hard time choosing a favorite and I can only imagine all the other items they had in store were equally fantastic. read more

Small, charming bakery/confectionary located in Glendale right at the Burbank border. I've only been once as of 3/24, but it seems like they do a lot of unique cakes or at least cakes I don't see often at other places. Their other offerings include coffee, tea, other baked goods, and of course, lots of fun confections. Oh, and they offer an afternoon tea service seated on the side of the building in an enclosed area. I came here looking for the Blum's Coffee Crunch Cake - I heard great things and wanted to pick some up for a friend's birthday. Lots of things looked really good, so ended up getting a couple slices of the coffee crunch cake, a slice of the passionfruit pie, and a couple of the mochi shoyu caramel cakes. The coffee crunch cake is as delicious as advertised - it was a spongey chiffon cake, not overly sweet, and had a great contrast in texture with the coffee honeycomb that adorned the outside on the whipped coffee frosting. Actually none of the items were overly sweet, which I appreciated. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the passionfruit pie - similar to a key lime pie. The moshi shoyu was nice and chewy, with a bit of Asian flavor profile. There was a group of folks finishing up the afternoon tea and they had to come in and pay, so it was a bit hectic at the time I was in there, but the line pretty standard in terms of bakeries or coffee shops. read more

This is a review for their afternoon tea service. The tl;dr version - well worth the drive from the Westside. You need to book reservations on Open Table since seating is limited. The tea is served outdoors on a fully covered patio that is open on two sides. They offer a set menu where the only choice you have is which tea you would like. The teas were perfectly brewed. My husband had the iced English breakfast, I had the genmai matcha, and our daughter had the jasmine tea. There were no leaves or bags left in the pot, so the tea did not become more bitter over time. The server stopped by fairly frequently to refill my husband's glass. The food was fairly informally plated - no towers to be seen - but it was delicious. The scones were brought out first, and they were pretty perfect - nice and crunchy on the outside and not too dry in the inside. The salted butter made a nice complement, but the lemon curd is always my favorite. I did miss having Devonshire or clotted cream as an accoutrement but not too much. Once we were done with the scones, they brought out the sandwiches, and they were all delicious. The deviled tea egg was probably my favorite since it didn't involve bread and was a bit unusual in that regard, but both the curried chicken and smoked salmon sandwiches were superb. We were thrilled that our daughter didn't fuss about the ingredients but simply offered me the avocado from her tartine and picked the celery out of her chicken sandwich. Finally, the desserts - once again, all delicious. I couldn't quite finish all of mine, but the quality was good and I did enjoy what I ate. They had so many delicious desserts in the case when we went in to pay the bill - I think we'll have to come back sometime just to check out some more options. With the low-key setting and personable service, this is a great place for afternoon tea and a wonderful option for kids. read more

Beautiful, decorative confections that were delicious. Also, one of the best Chocolate Chip Cookies I've tried in a while. Thank you to the young man for the friendly service. It was a perfect day off from work. read more

On a Saturday morning in early December, my family and I drove to Glendale to get free sample of cookies and hot chocolate. Inside has display of boxes of chocolates for gift ideas. They also sell individual pieces petit fours, pie slices, Cupcakes, coffee. The staff are nice and helped select items into the bag. We tasted free sample of cookies, but they ran out of hot chocolate. Cute chocolate store. There was street parking and few tables outside. read more

Delicious! This shop is located on a nondescript stretch of Glenoaks famous for deranged driving, it should be famous for this shop but that's another story lol. Delicate chiffon, enrobed in coffee whipped cream, layered with honeycomb crunch is a masterpiece. We tasted and tested side by side for our special celebration and arrived at this as our top choice. Stop in for a slice; better yet, order one and devour at the peril of your waistline. read more

I was looking for a coffee stop while in the area and saw this place on Yelp. I don't know how I have never noticed it before or even heard about it. I come to this area weekly for my job and never saw it. Anyways I'm glad I found it .... What a nice surprise. I walked in and was greeted right away. The display of the sweets left me in awe. They are perfectly made chocolates and tiny cakes. There was also variety of cakes such as apricot and few others. I wasn't planning to buy anything but the apricot cake looked to good so I bought a slice to enjoy with my iced coffee, the reason I walked in. The coffee was very delicious by the way. The employee gave me a sample of the salted truffle and a mini cake once he found out it's my first time here. Now that amazing customer service. He made sure I get to taste their products. Both tasted heavenly. Can't wait to come back and try other things. I have a feeling I'll be here very often. These chocolates make great gifts as well so I'll be buying them for sure. They truly make very special products that you won't find anywhere nearby. Almost forgot I noted they had sandwiches and savory pies as well, also jams that looked amazing. Will be trying them out on my next visit. read more

This review is for the afternoon tea only! Arrived and was able to find street parking just around the corner; be warned there is only street parking. For the tea, we checked in outside on the patio; we had to wait a bit because no one checked us off a list as they seemed to be busy scurrying in and out and all around. We were seated under the building and let me tell you, it was hot. No wind under there and we were right up against the wall; J had to move the table away from the wall cause she was hot and felt squished. Servers were nice, but all the tables seated after us were assisted before us so we were hot and hungry by the time they finally stopped by our table to take our tea order; they were doing iced teas because of the heat, but hot teas do not come in a pot with a cup and saucer (came in a mug). After delivering our teas, they finally took our order. Basically, you choose 2 petit four flavours, everything else is the same for everyone, so we were a bit annoyed it took them so long to get to us; 20 minutes have now passed since we arrived for our reservation. The scones were good, but we've had better. The sandwiches were hot or miss; cucumber very bland, egg salad good, heirloom tomato delicious. But, we did wish that they used different breast for the sandwiches as it seemed a bit of a cop out to use the same little buns for at $65 a person. The fruit was a nice a touch and the petit fours were good, but absolutely expected them to be good. Tea was refilled often, but there was always a bit of a wait for it to arrive after we ordered them. And, you pay inside, so a good opportunity to pickup a few extra items to take home. The take home box of 2 truffles given to us after paying was a nice touch. read more

I've been hoping to try this place for months, it did not disappoint! Tried the salted maple latte (pretty good), the mushroom and cheese pie (liked it), and the basque cheesecake (delicious!!). The service was fantastic. Very friendly staff. I will absolutely return. read more

My whole heart. The best birthday cake I've ever had was from here. I am moving away from Los Angeles and this is the place that I will miss the most after 15yrs here. The Ginger and rose petit fours are my absolute favorites and so many other items have been chefs kiss. Even their hot chocolate was wonderful. Simply go! read more

I recently saw a post from Valerie confections on Instagram, and I immediately checked out their website, and decided that I needed to give them a try. Today was the day! What I love about this location in Glendale, is that there is street parking available, that you don't have to fight for. I walked in, and I was the only customer at the moment. The young gal working was very sweet, and very helpful. We had good conversation, and she even allowed me to sample a truffle. The Earl Grey truffle is bomb.com. I went specifically for the blum's coffee crunch cake. I walked out with one slice of that cake, and Victoria sponge cake, and a little Earl Grey petit four. I had the petit four on the way to meet my friend for lunch, and then we shared the Victoria sponge cake. All was enjoyed. I'm saving the coffee crunch cake for later. But, it looks fabulous! Overall, a really good first experience at Valerie Confections. I will definitely be going back in the future. read more

Do you care who you do business with and how they operate? I went to Valerie's website today and gave up my email address on request, for a 10% discount code. A pop-up immediately got my mobile number in exchange for "an Extra 15% Off." But when I tried to place a chocolates order, for my 40th anniversary, I was told discounts aren't stackable. In email correspondence with Allison in Valerie's office -- less than an hour after I accepted the promo offers -- I was told, "We've clarified the wording going forward to prevent any misunderstanding, but we're unable to combine multiple discounts." read more

It's a breeze ordering around the holidays and the bakery goods are outstanding. Worth a little bit further drive.

I ordered the 'Les Hommes Truffles' which were on sale. It's an assortment of dark chocolate truffles, some full of chocolate topped with a little salt and some with a melty caramel interior. My husband is Swiss so we are used to high quality chocolate. Valerie Confections hits the mark if you are looking for non-fussy, non-contrived but exquisitely made chocolate. Also, they are delivered with an ice pack so they don't melt before they hit your tongue. read more

I tried the Blum coffee crunch cake recently. It was indeed a very beautiful cake! The cake and whipped cream frosting were heavenly but there are a few things that are just not right at all. The honeycomb crunch part was overly sweet so just pick them off after photos are done. Also they stick a straw in the middle with some nasty dough/fondant to hold the cake layers together and/or to the cake box. I had an awful mouthful of whatever gummy dough was in there and it tasted quite bad...luckily the person I bought the cake for was not subjected to this unpleasant experience on his birthday. It would have seriously ruined everything. I took one for the team unknowingly. I guess it all worked out in the end as I was the sacrifice and not he. A warning from the shop would have been nice: eat the cake but not the very center! Sorry, I just assumed I could eat everything? You cannot order whole cakes in store. You must order them online. Street parking available. read more

Valerie never lets us down! Went there for Pie Day today and their apple pie could not have been better. Perfectly cooked chunks of apple, not too sweet, and crunchy buttery crust. Best in L.A, no contest. We go there once a week now to try something new and it's always delicious. She understands balance and the cakes and pastries are great every time, always perfectly baked and never over-sweetened. Even flavors I normally would not think I would like (lavender!) is done with such a delicate touch that it's quite enjoyable. Thanks Valerie! read more

Excited to finally try the Blum's Coffee Crunch Cake and ended up getting the strawberry rhubarb pie since I've been looking for a good strawberry pie all summer! The cake was so light and airy with fluffy coffee whipped cream and the coffee crunch was like was a nice blend of airy and crisp pieces, a bit too sweet for me, but definitely a unique cake worth trying! The staff also convinced me to try some of the truffles on my way out, I got the rose petal which had passion fruit purée and was my favorite! Also tried the rice and sesame, which was like a caramel with sesame and the earl grey was a smooth darker chocolate. I want to come back and try the mochi shoyu caramel cake and Basque cheesecake! read more

Not a fan. The petit fours were not good at all, they tasted very off. Ie prices are too high for the very low quality of product and the place wasn't clean either (dust bunnies, bugs) read more

Yet another 5-star review for this spectacular gem of a bakery. This time ordered the Key Lime Pie for a friend's birthday and did not disappoint. So creamy with the perfect crust. It was the star of our meal. Best part, the service. The gentleman we spoke with offered to deliver our pie to out neighbor's house because we were coming back from out of town on a Saturday night and unable to make their closing time. It's one thing to make irresistible desserts, but it's an entirely different ballgame when you have this kind of hospitality. Clearly, this speaks to the enormous success of this place. Have also LOVED the quiche and vegetable baguette sandwich. All so good! read more

We went here for the first time today with a few friends for breakfast. We ordered 3 hand pies; Ham, cheese & scrambled eggs which they made to order for us since they were out. Absolutely delicious. As our delightful server Ella set down our to go coffees she said she would bring out or hand pies when they were ready. The last coffee slipped out of her hand and landed splat on the floor behind the counter, with impeccable comic timing she smiled sweetly and said, "I'll bring another coffee with your hand pies to the patio." Please give her a raise! We ordered some chocolates to go. The chocolate is rich and flavorful and doesn't rely on sugar to give it a punch. The Very Berry Truffle is out of this world, try it. If you can't stop by, order them online. You won't be sorry. read more

I got this cake for my birthday and the texture of the cake just wasn't for me. I had tried a few pieces of the petit four before, and wasn't in love with the dense, dry cake, but the Fallen Fruit cake just looked so beautiful and I loved all the ingredients in the description, with vanilla bean and passionfruit that I thought I would love it regardless. Unfortunately this was not the case. The cake was still beautiful, but definitely not moist as mentioned. It was incredibly dense and took us a while to finish it. The passionfruit flavor was pretty good and not too sour. Overall, I'm glad to have tried it, but probably should not have jumped into the deep end getting such a large (9", feeds 8-12) and expensive ($80) cake. read more

4-4.5 stars overall but rounding up for their delicious petit fours and excellent customer service. This Valerie Confections location is very small, and they no longer sell slices of Blum's coffee cake at this location (as of May 2021), but you may still be able to order whole cakes for pickup. I stopped by around 3pm on a Friday, and they weren't busy at that time. Their petit fours were all nicely labeled, but a majority of their chocolate truffle assortments were behind the counter, and it was really difficult to read the labels and prices. I ended up trying: -Champagne Petit Four (Butter Cake w/Champagne Milk Chocolate Ganache, Bittersweet Chocolate Glaze, $4, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=x4JEtPUbkwmrai9avKcajQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): DELICIOUS, and a must try!! Petit fours are usually too sweet for me, but I loved that they balanced the milk chocolate ganache inside with a bittersweet chocolate glaze outside. The butter cake was moist and delicious, and everything went perfectly together. I could eat an entire box of these petit fours. -Assorted Truffles (Small Box/$22.50, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=K1TOdMV9qz1XiL45YXNVfA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Flavors included: Salt, Jasmine Pearl, Moroccan Mint, Champagne, Scotch, Stout, Liquid Caramels, Matcha Tea, 72% Bittersweet Truffles. Their truffles were made from high quality chocolate, and each truffle was rich and smooth. Not all of the flavors were super prominent, but these solid truffles. Although these were very good, and definitely worth trying once, I'm not sure if I would purchase again with the price point. I've had truffles from other chocolatiers that I've loved a bit more. They were so friendly and helpful here, and it was a great experience overall. I would definitely come back to try more of their petit fours (especially the Rose Petal Cake), and hope to try one of their actual cakes. Parking was easy at the time since there is street parking available in front of the store. read more

Oh, Valerie Confections. I really wanted to like you! After all, we share the same name! But I have to admit, I was rather disappointed by my recent visit to this location. First off, it's important to note that Valerie has changed this shop from a cafe where you can buy coffee and pastries to more of a boutique storefront that only offers pickups of preordered items and a glass case of chocolate bars for sale. I was super bummed when I walked in and discovered that I wouldn't be able to purchase any of the adorable petit fours that used to be sold here in the past. But I didn't want to leave empty handed, and the salesgirl working the counter was very nice (hence 3 stars), so I wound up buying a chocolate bar. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until I was checking out that said chocolate bar retailed for TEN FREAKING DOLLARS! Are you kidding me? I know Valerie is in independent business and all, but $10 for a candy bar is crazy. Also, for the price the candy bar was extremely mediocre. I ate about half of it before deciding that I didn't like it enough to justify consuming the rest of the calories. It wasn't bad, per se, but unremarkable given the sky high price. I would still like to someday sample some of Valerie's baked goods, but in the meantime I don't think I'll be going back to this location anytime soon. read more

Overall Valerie Chocolates & Petits Fours are amazing! My favorite is Chili with Chocolate, but all of the flavors are outstanding. Valerie's Petits Fours are unlike any Petits Fours I have ever had. They consist of Moist, Rich Cake with Filling which are then Dipped in Chocolate. The Chocolate, Rose, Lavender & Champagne versions are my go-to whenever I need a good cake fix. We are lucky to have such an extraordinary Chocolatier & Bakery in our city. Bravo Valerie! read more

Have you seen the Friends episode " The One will All the Cheesecakes"? I feel like I was living that episode with the Basque Cheesecake from Valerie Confections. It is honestly one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. It's so perfectly creamy but also light and not too sweet but sweet enough. This was also the first time I've had a Basque Cheesecake and I really enjoyed the burnt/caramelized exterior. The shop itself is really cute. Like other reviews have mentioned, at this location you can only pick up pre ordered cakes and they have their chocolates on sale. Everyone working there was really friendly and helpful. I'll be back to try their Blum Coffee Crunch Cake! read more

The BEST chocolates in town. I just had yet another great experience at Valerie Confections. If you haven't tried these insanely good chocolates, do yourself a favor and head over to this sweet spot. It's such a cute space, always clean and stocked with magical chocolates and pastries. My standard is the Fleur de sel or almond toffee, but today I ventured into truffle land. My MIL can be a tough cookie to buy for, and the liquid caramel chocolate hearts are the perfect honey-for-the-bear. The lovely staff member helped me put a box together with the hearts and some other gems, let me choose a ribbon, and tied it up beautifully. I also grabbed a preset box of truffles for a gift for a guy I don't know very well... because it's perfect for everyone! If I hadn't just eaten lunch I would have grabbed a slice of the gorgeous quiche they were serving. I love that that had vegetarian options with all of their pastry items. Next time! read more

A delightful little gem hidden within the mist. Pristine cutely decorated petit fours along with the selection of chocolate truffles. My sister had found this place off of Yelp and we dropped by on a Saturday afternoon to check it out as we were in the area. Our favorite for the petit four was the Lemon. It was just a delightful treat to have in your mouth with the mixture of 4 layers and the ganache. My favorite toffee on the other hand was almond fleur de sel toffee. We had wonderful customer service in sampling the chocolate truffles and choosing them with recommendations. The cookies they had were DIVINE - and we had to buy another even after we had one. It is quite a small little shop, but filled with so many goodies. We stayed there for quite a bit, eating and trying our purchases and seeing what else there was. My brother-in-law also got a drip coffee which he said was really good from here. It was very surprising to see they have been around 2004 and the history of how Valerie Confections came to be. The petit fours is made of 4 layers in which a ganache is place between each one. Once they're stacked, put into the freezer, and then cut into even pieces and then covered with chocolate. There was a video on their website that showed a quick overview of how the rose petal petit four was made. It's amazing to see how someone could make something so petite and taste so good in their craft. Keep up the creativity! The price is a bit more expensive than I would want it to be - but I believe that the price it is, is worth it due to all the work is put into it. read more
