I've been coming here for a while because these cupcakes are soooo yummy.....but maybe they aren't the same anymore....

Today I went in and to get my favorite red velvet! The creamy topping is still very tasty but the quality of the cake is not. The red velvet I had today was very dry and uneven ...

Tiny cupcakes for $3. The ine bitters! Really? The $5 parfait made with cake pieces and just whipped cream! Rea...

Tried quite a few of their pastries and other sweets. I would skip the bostock next time. It must look really enticing, because we got it again recently - not realizing that we didn't like it the first time. The croissant and kouigin amann are solid offerings.

Meh... I got 6 mini cupcakes to try different flavors (carrot, lemon, strawberry lemon, key lime pie, chocolate mint, chocolate raspberry) and they were all way too sweet and wow STALE. The stale part was the most disappointing. For that price, I want something mega fresh....

Needless to say I ha...

Lemon Ginger Mousse Cake is awesome!!! In line with that is their assorted cup cakes o minis and macaroons. Real handcraft that perform good and excellent job that you can count on to Hotcake Bakes. They customize cakes for birthdays and weddings etc. Nevertheless, all I can say is that they had a ...

The have the best cupcakes around. I buy 2 dozen of the mini cupcakes for parties and they are gone before you know it. They are a bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it. I love their tres leche cupcake with the chili mango.

Hotcakes makes the hands-down best cupcake in Los Angeles. Their frostings are great, but anyone can do a tasty frosting. The key is the crumb. Their cake has a perfect crumb, and that means that it has great flavor, perfect texture and moisture level, and it has an ideal bite and mouthfeel. This mi...

The cupcakes might visually look appealing, but the reality is that they do not much flavor at all. And they often taste hard & stale. The only reason continue to go back is because it is 1 block from my house, and I want to keep giving them more chances to redeem themselves. Sorta sad :(

Don t waste your time or money. The cupcakes are not worth the calories, not even if they were negative calories. The customer service is one of the worst I ve experienced. The owner has a nasty attitude, which matches her nasty cupcakes. The staff is so lazy they won t take an order over the phone ...

I ve been buying cupcakes and cookies for 10+ years and they never disappoint. I ordered a Whale themed birthday cake and it was spectacular. Most important is the owner is so wonderful. She was closing her shop because of Covid on 3/16/20 and called me at 8am to make sure I was able to get my cake ...

Came here for breakfast- got the iced coffee and avocado toast.

The avocado toast was split into 4 smaller pieces making it way easier to eat- they give you an overload of avocado- love it!! Would come back to try the other breakfast items.

Super friendly mom and pop shop. Street parking.

I'm always suspicious of reivews when they are at both extremes. So here is mine for what it's worth.

Food;
I have been going to Hotcakes since 2011 and love their cupcakes.
I will agree however, like anything made fresh without preservatives, these delicious little gems will get stale if not k...

Best cakes in the world hands down. I've purchased cakes for all kinds of occasions and every time, the response is the same: this is the best cake I've ever had in my life! The owners are friendly and efficient and their other baked goods are excellent.

Hotcakes Bakes has some of the yummiest cupcakes, cakes and tartes on the westside of Los Angeles. The place is small, but offers what it lacks in shop size in big sweet flavors. I usually get a variety box of cupcakes as to sample a few and it's always a hit when we have guests over. The staff a...

I've worked near Hotcakes for almost 5 years, so I've driven by it a million times, but until recently I hadn't actually stopped in to try the food. But once my fiancee and I started planning our wedding I knew I wanted Hotcakes on the list of places to potentially order our cake from. I had contact...

Yeah....These guys got nothin' on Nothing Bundt Cakes. Cream puffs were good but everything else just ok. Fortunately, not too pricey.

Certainly friendly, but practically hovering, including to the point of over me as I chose a tip % (!) for buying a few items. And she put one puff and two min...

Hubby works in the area and finally was able to grab a last minute parking spot to pick up some cupcakes we been wanting to try. So the macarons were very tasty especially chocolate, just not the best I have had. But now those cupcakes are another story. So moist and fresh and that frosting is so di...

Paid reviews alert!!!

When you order a cake for your loved ones what is more important than your actual order?
including the texture and decorations if you want a cake minus all those things above you could go to Walmart and ask for a simple cake for 2 dollars per pound.

I usually pick up from here and get a selection of the minis when I'm going to parties and events. The cupcakes are always a hit. Their canele (little custardy French pastry) is quite good and can be hard to find in LA. The cupcakes are all cream cheese icing, though, so if you're a buttercream love...
