I usually order from another bakery on West 207th street (which is far from me) but when I found out that there was a Valencia bakery around my way, I was so excited. I ordered a birthday cake online perhaps a month prior the event. On the day of the event, I went to pick it up and the cake seems like it was made perhaps a few hrs prior and was not set and not in the refridgerator for much time. I visually saw a minor piece on the back of the cake already shifting. I took it thinking it should be okay and would be able to salvage it and put it straight in the fridge at home because I don’t live far away and it shouldn’t be too bad. I was extremely careful with the cake and not even 10 minutes later, the top part of the cake collapsed. I called the store, let them know what happened and the woman at the counter was happy to replace the cake. She was extremly nice. Later on, I did recieve the replacement. Overall, the experience obviously could have been better. Im grateful I got a replacement but it was odd that the cake was not set prior to me picking it up. I have never had that happened to me at the other bakery I go to. However the cake did taste good but I felt the design looked a bit subpar. The handwritten lettering, the icing and the placement of the beads were lackluster. I don’t want to let one experience take anything away from them but since I am so big on birthdays and cakes for myself and my family, I will probably just stick to where...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting Valencia Bakery over the weekend, and I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional customer service I received from Chris. From the moment I walked through the door, Chris's dedication, professionalism, and genuine warmth made my visit truly memorable. Their friendly nature, deep knowledge, and dedication to providing an exceptional experience left a lasting impression on me. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris and Valencia Bakery to anyone seeking not only delicious treats but also a remarkable customer service experience. They truly embody the essence of outstanding service and are a valuable asset to the bakery. While the customer service was exceptional, I found the cake to be slightly dry. However, it is important to note that despite this minor flaw, the flavor and quality of the cake were still enjoyable and it did not overshadow the positive aspects of my experience at Valencia Bakery. I would gladly return for their exceptional customer service and the overall quality of...
Read moreI grew with Valencia cakes, it was delicious and my excitement to drive a hour from where I live now , to the Bronx, I thought it was going to be worth it ! First they moved so they need to update address, they are on 9 west burnside ( Bronx). I called and the gentlemen that picked up was just horrible, he was just like we are on west burnside, no address, I was like ok bad day but no problem, I got there and bought two cakes and honestly the cakes were not good, not fresh , creme had a aftertaste that was not good, honestly shoprite has better cakes, it was such a disappointment because I was advertising how great this cake was to friends and to family. I remember the owners back then they were great, fresh cakes,I even asked the gentleman if Valencia had same owners and he said yes, very disappointed, Valencia cakes is just a memory now how how great it use to be . A downer for me and for friends...
