      I really enjoyed my strawberry shortcake and my order was ready for pickup at the appointed time.
      My girlfriend thought the cake was a little 'dry'. I don't know that I agree with her opinion.
      The cream frosting was fresh and delicious as were the strawberries

      This place is nestled between popular cafe/bakeries, but in terms of food, I liked this place better! And there's no line.

      SMOKED SALMON ON CROISSANT - so good!! Their croissant is buttery and soft, and with a generous amount of salmon neatly packed in together. I kind of wish there was a sauce on the side to go with it.

      Bestie had the turkey wrap. He liked it but my salmon croissant was superior.

      Also the CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT CAKE (not the official name aha)
      this was so good! Dense and nutty with rich hazelnut and chocolate flavor. Best eaten the day of, as it dried out in my fridge aha.

      The interior feels quite empty, with some tables by the window, it might be cuter and more functional!

      Very sweet staff and a super cute bakery in a busy shopping area of Burlingame. They were very accommodating when I needed to change the pickup time for my cake, and they even provided a candle and a happy birthday sign. The coffee crunch cake was delicious, but it's a cake you have to special order at least two days in advance! It's huge and heavy so be careful when transporting it!

      The cookies here also look delicious, so I can't wait to come back!

      Tried their chocolate cake and unfortunately it was disappointing :( it was dry and very spongey.

      Really nice pastries and cakes!

      I ordered a few mini cakes for my birthday and they all were delicious and very creamy!

      Cute little bakery nestled in the heart of Burlingame. They've got everything! Cakes, cupcakes, custom made or by the slice. They have a website you can engage with them about orders or custom builds. They do cakes for all occasions.

      In ordered the Double Chocolate Mousse cake which was amazing! Very creamy and airy! This dessert will not weigh you down. The Swedish Princess slice is good, too, and creamy with berry jam layer inside. The Mango Mousse cake is vegan and surprisingly creamy and very good. Two little cake bars with lots of mango bursting on top of a graham cracker moist crust.

      I definitely recommend this bakery for all your sweets needs!

      March is a busy month of friends and family members' birthdays. Appreciate a bakery dedicated to cakes. The Cakery is a small cake shop on Burlingame Ave in Burlingame. Parking is on the street. No dining areas but of course, there are benches along Burlingame Ave. Sometimes it's just nice to get a sample of cake slices versus a whole cake to celebrate a birthday. We enjoyed the vegan mango tarts, marjolaine cake, and dark chocolate mouse cake. The vegan mango treats came as two pieces and were so good if you prefer a fruity sweet treat. The marjolaine cake seemed dry to our taste. While the dark chocolate mouse cake was heavenly to taste as it was so light in sponge but gave you a good sample of dark chocolate that wasn't rich but just right in texture and smoothness. Will likely return for either a whole cake to order or just get a sample of goodies.

      Door dashed a mango mousse cake, Oreo cupcake, salted caramel cupcake, and princess cake. The princess cake wasn't available so we sadly didn't get to try that, but the mousse cake was amazing flavor! The Oreo cupcake frosting was very delicious but both cupcakes were just okay. The salted caramel frosting didn't really taste like salted Carmel's and the chocolate cupcake could be richer. Overall, I think it was still good and would def order again to try the princes cake!

      Received cupcakes yesterday as a birthday gift via Uber Eats. Sadly they were just blah. Not a lot of flavor, frosting was too sweet and bland, the cake itself was dry. I've made better cupcakes from a box with more flavor and better texture. They tasted like cupcakes made several days ago :( super disappointing

      Got a chocolate cupcake. Tasted dry and bland. I had tasted better ones made from a box. Not much chocolate flavor. Butter cream was also below par. Not sure I want to eat anymore after taking one bite. Not worth filling my stomach when there are so many better options around. Customer service was also not great. Didn't feel welcomed here.

      First time at this bakery. Ordered a Swedish Princess cake. Service was excellent and very helpful making our choice. Cake was delicious and a hit with the entire family. Will definitely be back.
