Whole Cakes - Potrero Hill — Restaurant in San Francisco

Updated as of 3/21:

Sonya reached out to me about the cake and offer to make another 4 inch black sesame matcha cake for my sister's birthday. I do appreciate with store owners reach out as it shows they valued their customers.

The black sesame matcha cake is their popular cake. My family is a fan of matcha and black sesame, so finding a cake with these two combo is a plus. The chiffon cake tastes like matcha and is like a soft sponge cake. The black sesame cream was not overly sweet, but do wish it was more black sesame flavor (just my personal preference). Matcha can have some bitterness and black sesame has a nutty flavor, if these are not your taste, this cake is not for you.

Today (3/18) I ordered two cakes for my sister’s birthday. I made a call in order - I got a 4 inch black sesame matcha and a 6 inch strawberry vanilla cake. The black sesame matcha cake smelled sour and tasted sour! We believed the cake was spoiled! The strawberry cake was dry and hard like a rock. Worst cakes...

Whole Cakes is one of the many gems hidden within SF. This place has some truly amazing edible works of art. I ordered two cakes for a little cake picnic a friend was hosting. I got the Double Chocolate with Mixed Berry and the Dirty Chai.

I was beyond impressed with not only the taste of course, but the presentation as well. Everyone at the picnic was equally enamored.

Furthermore, I found the quality of customer service offered went above and beyond my expectations! Despite them being a local business that surely gets a lot of request, they were very warm and responsive to my inquiries. Also they graciously accepted my request on pretty short notice!

This is a business that is well worth supporting, and one that I will absolutely continue to be a patron of...

Whole Cakes (Sonya) provided the cake for our Yosemite elopement and I could not have been more pleased!!

Sonya was a total hero when it came to our cake. She took my order at the last minute and went way above & beyond for us - making special accommodations to let us pick up our order outside of their regular business hours and even staying up long after the sun went down when our travel was delayed by several hours. I am SO incredibly grateful!

We got the Signature Green Tea cake and the Meyer Lemon Raspberry cake. Both were beautiful and super, super yummy - full of flavor and perfectly moist. I would highly recommend getting your cake from Whole Cakes for any occasion or just because!
