City Cakes & Cafe

A coworker of mine has been raving about City Cakes for a while, and now I completely understand why. We ordered a vegan cake for our office holiday party to accommodate a team member with a dairy allergy, and I truly don’t have enough good things to say. First, the staff. They are so kind, friendly, and accommodating. From start to finish, they made the process easy and enjoyable, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Second, the variety and pricing. The selection is impressive, especially for gluten-free and vegan options, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and customization you’re getting. The cake itself was adorable and absolutely delicious. We did a custom snowflake design (I wish I’d taken a better photo), and the flavor was incredible. It wa

I’ve been ordering cakes from City Cakes for years and I love them so much! They are my go-to bakery for dairy-free desserts since everything is vegan! In the past, I’ve asked for designs like polka dots or flowers, and they always do a great job. For this order, I decided to spice things up a bit and asked for a succulent design on this birthday cake. They went above and beyond my expectations - I couldn’t even have imagined the cake looking so good! The succulents were so cute and detail-oriented. I love that I just gave them a description of the design I wanted and they created something amazing and beautiful! This cake was chocolate cake with buttercream. The cake is so moist and the frosting doesn’t taste vegan. The peanut butter bars and cupcakes are also to die for!

When I’m nearby, I like to stop by. The hours are great, the staff is always super friendly. I am gluten/dairy/egg free so the variety is super helpful for my needs there. They do make lots items that contain gluten (everything is vegan though), but they say they are very cognizant of preventing cross contamination. Their desserts are always delicious, but I find, as with most vegan gf desserts you will find, they are fairly crumbly- except the cinnamon rolls, and they are quite chewy. I can’t claim to do better, thus my patronage… I love the scones, no matter the crumbly mess. I do wish they had more gf whole grains though. I personally think they improve the flavor of things, especially breads. Their bread texture is fine, but I find the taste so missing that I would prefer not to eat

I made kind of a weird order and they followed it to a T not only that but the cookies and the cheesecake were great. Everyone and myself (a foodie who eats all kinds of foods) loved them. I wanted to make sure I wasn't just giving people good for gluten free. These were just plain great.

We very recently had to go gluten-free because of my daughter's celiacs's diagnosis, so this is all very new and overwhelming. I went into the bakery needing some cupcakes for a family event. Beth was at the counter, and she was absolutely amazing! While I was there, someone texted me a food label to review; Beth came out from behind the counter to help me read the label. I will definitely be going back in the future, not just for these amazing looking cupcakes but because of the level of caring that I received as an overwhelmed parent.
