Omg this place is my go to place when it comes to any function. As you all can tell by my pictures. So recently I hosted a gender reveal party and my sister wanted this one specific cake with certain design and instructions, 🧐 thank God it was not a bridal shower 😂😂 any way I call Ali and he says no problem at all. I mean after a hectic week of all planning that's what you wana hear right. By the way the cake was a bomb, it was star of the show, every single person commented, one lady specifically was hesitant to eat maybe coz of sugar issues, but when she took that first bite, she said omg this is good and I like how it's not so sweet. This has become my favorite place when iam in berkeley albany area, coz I really admire this place. Firstly on a Saturday morning just to go here, sit and sip on that hot chocolate and have a bite of that banana eclair is such an amazing feeling. Also Everytime I have gone, I have found this place super neat and tidy. And the pastries, lemme tell you people. It will be too hard to chose coz they are so so so beautiful pastries that you would just Wana stare at it and not end up eating 😜😜. But on a serious note, any of your party need, you all can count on Ali, I promise. You will never regret. Thank you Ali for making my party so pretty.

Lavendar bakery baked a three tier cake for our outdoor July wedding. They were incredibly easy to work with, emailing with me to arrange a free take-home tasting and coordinate cake decoration and delivery. They had a huge list of flavors and we go to taste all of them to decide on our favorites. We opted for a 3-tier cake that had two different flavors, lemon and raspberry buttercream on vanilla cake. Prices were very reasonable and they worked with us to estimate the number of servings we would need, understanding that people don’t always like full servings at a wedding. The cake was all white and they delivered it with time so our florist could add fresh flowers at the venue. We had so many compliments about the cake on the day-of! It was absolutely perfect for our event and such a wonderful afternoon treat in the garden.

Ali and team went above and beyond in creating the vision I had for my wedding cake since a little girl. When we arrived for the tasting, we were greeted with hospitality, a comfortable intimate corner to enjoy our tasting, and a latte on the house! We were served samples of several cake flavors which made it extremely hard to pick a favorite! We wanted a really simple 2-tier cake for the wedding but had a large number of guests, so Ali worked with us of what was realistically needed for a wedding guest number our size and the pricing was very reasonable considering we asked for custom cartoon characters on our cake. Overall great experience from tasting to final product. Our guests really enjoyed the cakes and took some home. The cake was more beautiful than the sample picture I provided.

This exquisite old world European themed bakery, puts out a mind-boggling array of different cakes, confections, and desserts, with real attention to detail, and with skill that simply can't be faked. This is a real Bakery with serious master bakers, (The lead Baker is an Algerian man, whose name escapes me, and is a true gentleman and scholar, answering many questions from annoying cake neophytes like me, without batting an eye) My favorite is their Opera cake, a masterpiece in six layers; a finely arranged orchestration of ganache, coffee buttercream and almond sponge cake soaked in coffee, topped with a chocolate glaze, and adorned with a treble cleft in the key of YUMMY. I don't really eat much sugar these days, but when I do I want to make it count. This does! Thanks Lavender!

I lovvvvveeee this bakery! They have such a great selection of desserts & I never know what to choose from. My friend is gluten free and I asked the sales worker which desserts are the most popular. She made me a box with all the things they have that are gluten free. This is what they are: 1. Chocolate Raspberry Mousse 2. Turkish Delight: Rose petal, lemon hazelnut, pistachio 3. Almond macaron cookie (BOMB) 4. Top 3 French macaron flavors: raspberry, caramel, vanilla (they also had pistachio, chocolate, & mango/passion fruit) I like how this bakery includes special dietary needs. I also noticed they had 2 vegan items. Both chocolate. This bakery is just such a great addition to Berkeley. If you don’t have a restriction then the have such a huge selection of other things

Lavender Bakery did my wedding cake two months ago. Ali and the staff were so friendly and helpful to me and my fiancé when we were figuring out the perfect cake for us, where we decided to go with a naked two-tier cake with mocha and coffee filling. We also ordered their Tiramisu cake and Neopolitan cake to serve to our guests. The day of our wedding, all the cakes turned out AMAZING. We knew our cake was good, but we got so many compliments from our guests saying how yummy and delicious both cakes were. We had almost 200 guests at the wedding, cake was all gone!! So glad we went with Lavender Bakery, really awesome staff with awesome sweets! 😊 [Because we ordered a naked tier cake, my floral team decorated the cake]
