Marvel Cake — Restaurant in Campbell

Marvel cake is a cafe that is very pleasing to the eye with pastries that are beautifully presented. It's obvious that a lot of care, love, and artisanship went into every single item displayed. They are picture worthy. The person who helped me was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a fresh fruit cream tart, mixed fruit puff pastry , also one with apricot, and a coffee. The apricot tart looked very beautiful but it had egg or milkwash on the top border and was very black. When I bit into it and ate some of of the top black part the whole thing tastes like dry burnt toast. The pastry was very dry and crunchy. It was beautifully layered but I think it just spent too much time in the oven perhaps. Usually when I order apricot with puff pastry the apricot has a nice tart flavor and sometimes it's slightly chewy like they reconstituted dried apricots. This tart had apricots that were mushy and tasteless. They taste like they came from a can. The cream tart however, had an assortment of fresh fruit that tasted fresh and delicious, with a light cream filling. The tart shell was very overcooked even the inside of the bottom of the tart was browned and it was hard. If it had more of a cookie flavor or some kind of flavor I would have just dipped it in some tea or coffee but I I just didn't want it. I ordered coffee and was very excited to try the lavender latte. A lavender syrup goes into the coffee so I would recommend tasting before you add any kind of sweetener. When I took a sip of this luscious latte I really did get hints of lavender. And what I thought were chocolate shavings on top of the foam were actually dried lavender buds. When I bit into them there was a burst of lavender flavor. This was absolutely the best latte I've ever had in my life. I'd like to go back and give the pastries a second chance. There are a lot of...

I came here 2 weeks ago for the first time with friends it was so good I came back again with my mom today.

This bakery is known for their “rolled” croissants so definitely try that. I had pistachio and it was very satisfying. The cream filling was rich but not so much it makes your stomach turn. Sweetness was just right for me, however those with sweet tooth may find it lacking if compared to the average American dessert. The ratio of pastry to filling was just right too, and pastry was just right amount of crispy goodness. Not so flaky that it disintegrates.

I have also tried feta and spinach croissant, apple turnover, pistachio mouse tart, and mini almond croissants all were delicious. I really wanted to try the Parmesan leek but they ran out boo.

Definitely pair any of the above with one of their lattes to round out the experience. I am not generally a fan of red velvet however it’s not something I see often on drink menu, and it was delicious not mention lovely looking in the mug.

Will definitely be back again ..hopefully 3rd visit will be successful for that Parmesan leek croissant lol.

My only feedback to management is whether they can do something differently to minimize the long queue. With only one register that’s seems to be a bottleneck. I waited 5-10 minutes to reach counter so the lady could gather my items. I then waited another 10 mins or so to reach the other lady to pay and place my drink order. Luckily the food was worth the wait and $$.

Quite a few orders were to go to, could there be separate checkout process for dine in vs take out perhaps? I have noticed that during and after pandemic more and more restaurants have handheld payment systems where waiter can take payment from customers at the table itself. This might be...

Worst experience with a bakery. I ordered two cakes for my daughters 1st birthday, 3 weeks in advance, one basic pistachio cake and one cake with some decorations, that was specific for her birthday. I went to pick up the cake yesterday, and they had lost the order and didn’t have my daughters 1st birthday cake. At first the ladies there were acting like they had it, asking me what color, what flavor and at the end they were asking what was the saying on it. They didn’t have the cake!!! They told me to come back in 10mins, and they slapped some $hit on a daily cake and acted like this was the cake I ordered 3 weeks ago!!! So disturbing that no one even called to confirm the order beforehand, make sure they have everything ready.

My advice here: don’t order cakes for important events here, you won’t probably get it.

After I left a review yesterday, the OWNER called me saying that this kind of a review will hurt his business and told me to delete it and he will send me a gift card. I deleted my previous review right away, and there was no gift card 😬

EDIT: After the owner called me to apologize, I did not ask for a refund or a gift card, he said “I can offer you a refund or a gift card, but a review like this doesn’t look good for my business”.

To add, of course I left your store in a hurry, you forgot my daughter birthday cake and left me no choice, I had to take whatever was given to me and not leave empty handed to a birthday party - that doesn’t mean I was satisfied. My guess is you thought I wouldn’t write another review after you lied about issuing...
