Delicious baked goods and confections and friendly staff. Not much room inside, so you'll want to get it to go. Try the eclair for a quick and cheap fix or go for a Napolean for a slightly more decadent choice.

Ordered a custom lambeth cake for my daughter’s Friday 13th wedding. Turned out beautiful! The attention to details and piping was amazing. The devils cake and buttercream was so delicious and the cake was very moist. The thin multi layers was breathtaking when the couple cut the cake. Highly recommend this bakery.

I absolutely love Cakery. I ordered my wedding cake from this cute little bakery shop and it was beautiful and delicious. Their price for wedding cakes is very reasonable in my opinion after I requested so many bakeries' quotes. They also offered a variety of flavors for us to choose from and taste. As Chinese, I don't really like a lot of American cakes that are too sugary and sweet. However, Cakery's cake was perfect for the sugar level in my mind. The staff who responded to my email was very friendly and responsive. And the delivery was also on time. Thank you very much and we enjoyed the cake a lot!

We have used the cakery for our wedding as well as our sons’ birthdays and baptisms. We don’t live in the area but come up to the bay for a lot of our events and they have always managed to perfectly execute what we wanted with just phone calls and e-mails. The latest was a cake for our sons baptism and I am still getting messages from people commenting on how beautiful and delicious it was! From construction sites to elegance, they can do it all! Highly recommend the apricot preserve with apricot buttercream in a vanilla sponge and devils foodcake with rasberry truffle!

I ordered a custom birthday cake from this bakery. They were very responsive and helpful. I basically sent them images of the cake I wanted from Pinterest and they were able to replicate it beautifully. The cake itself was delicious. I found the price to be very cost-effective for a custom cake that included exquisite artistry.
