Freedom Bakery — Restaurant in Salinas

I have been buying cakes from Lisa well over 13 years now. Never dissapoints, always delicious, not over sweet, the bread is never dry. If you’re into fondant style cakes that taste like paper- then this place is not for you. If you love a delicious, spongy cake, then you have to try a cake from here. I randomly get an 8” round black and white with whip cream, whip cream filling with fresh banana. Oh my, it’s the ultimate (fresh strawberries is even better)!! About the guy who stated mediocre service; I don’t know what type of service you would expect when ordering a cake. Do you want a red carpet laid out? Lisa is a simple and honest individual who knows how to make the best cakes in Monterey county. If you want special treatment then I would suggest going somewhere where they’ll sell you an overpriced piece of dry bread with fondant on top to make it look pretty. We recently moved to the Fresno/Clovis area and I’ve yet to find a place that is nearly close to Freedom’s cakes. Every chance we get to go back and visit family we stop by to order an 8”. Try this place, you will not be disappointed. Move to Clovis Lisa, we...

Looked way better than what we were thinking about to begin with. (We were alsp pretty vague when we ordered and literally just said "moon cake") All I was expecting was a grey cake with some black circles, instead I get a Monalisa moon cake. Put far more effort than we ever expected. And the cake is incredible by the way. Frosting so soft its hard to even feel it. Best cakes and this is for sure our main bakery both for aready and...

Our family bought a Hawaiian Delight cake from Freedom Bakery on Market St. in Salinas for our grandmother’s 90th birthday. The piece that was served to Grandma had a small, about 4” half circle shaped stainless steel piece inside the cake. Thankfully Grandma was not hurt by it. The next day, this was reported to Freedom Bakery but they did not make it right, acknowledge the issue or anything. Instead they chose to lose long time customers by denying that piece of metal came from their equipment! IT WAS BAKED INSIDE THE CAKE! Family has always bought their cakes from Freedom Bakery, not anymore. It’s a shame Freedom Bakery did not provide proper...
