Cooper Street Bakery

I had a team member celebrating a 10 year anniversary and didnt want to just pick up the usual costco cake for the special day. Now I wish we had saved the extra $ 15 because the costco cake beat the pants off this place. When the order was called in we were so specific that we needed a buttery flavored cake (which is more expensive because its considered a premium flavor) and butter cream icing heavy on the butter. What we got– DRY (boxed tastes better) yellow cake where the edges were so done they were very brown, and an icing so sweet I had to scrape it off (and normally I can eat just the icing and forget the cake). I wished we had read the reviews before assuming a bakery that’s been there forever was actually good. I feel so bad about dissapointing someone on their day to be recognized. $ 38 dud.

Only big drawback of this place that stands out to me is they are CASH ONLY. The cookies are pretty good here. Peanut Butter brownies are AWESOME as well as just the regular fudge ones. We have a customer at work that sends us a bundle of sweets during Christmas and I always look forward to seeing what all comes in it each year.
This year we had a Black Forrest cake added to our order. I wasn’t a big fan of it, seemed real dry, but the appearance was excellent. Of course I had plenty of cookies and brownies to fall back on since the cake was a letdown.
There are all kinds of goodies inside, not just cookies and cakes. Placed looked very clean and tidy. JUST REMEMBER TO BRING CASH ONLY if you decided to check it out.

Ugh, what is it about Arlington that makes the bakeries so shitty??? This is the third bakery I’ve visited in Arlington since moving here, and it’s the third bakery in Arlington that I hate.
I walked in, saw how gross the shop looked and almost turned right back around and left. The fake cakes were grimy, everything in the display cases looked disheveled, the cookies all looked crumbly and misshapen and boring, the clearance items were roughly tossed or shoved into plastic bags and super smooshed, and they had mini pies out on display that looked like they’d been dropped a few times! But ugh, the lady’s kids were there with her and I didn’t want to be rude, so I stayed.
I was greeted literally one second after walking in with an annoyed «do you know what you want???» I told her no, this is my first time and I’ll need a minute. She then disappeared without a word. I actually didn’t realize she had left to go into the back until I asked a question about something in the display case and realized I was talking to myself. Uh… OK then. She eventually came back out, and I asked her what the specialities were, you know, the things they’re proud of and that people come back repeatedly for. She kinda stuttered and fumbled and just said that they’ve been open for 23 years and everything is good. Uh oh, another terrible sign. –_​–
I saw that they had prepackaged trays of 8+ brownies, danishes, some chocolate cookies with chocolate icing on them, and a few other intriguing items that actually looked tasty, so I asked if they have any for individual sale cuz I don’t need 8 damn brownies. Plus all the individual items looked really boring. She acted annoyed again and just said no. I wasn’t even surprised at this point. So I finally picked out what I thought would be a good assortment of the individual cookies to make a fair judgement of the business so I could just get the hell out of there.
Then, to the register. She gives me the total and I try to hand her my card, but she says in the most annoyed voice possible that they only take cash or check. Keep in mind that she never mentioned this to me when I said I was a new customer. At this point, I just laughed internally at the epic failure that this shop is, but politely said «ah, never mind, have a good day» and walked out. So glad that the ONLY thing I wasted here was my time.
Usually I like to offer suggestions on how to improve, but wow, this place is just a train wreck. I’m actually OK with brusque service and sloppy aesthetics as long as the product is delicious, that’s why I not only tolerate Stein’s bakery with their lukewarm service, I return embarrassingly often. But y’all? Nooooot worth it — I’ll just drive a tortuous hour to Stein’s. I’m so happy for you that you’ve made it 23 years… Good luck with the next 23 years seeing as how you’re stuck pretty much exactly 23 years in the past. If every single ubiquitous donut shop and all other types of low-​dollar-​amount-​transaction places can take card… you’re just plain lazy for not upgrading. You certainly lost my business not only today, but all the future times I would have returned what with being a stressed out UTA student with a sweet tooth. Good job!!!

I had Cooper Street Bakery do my wedding cake and my husband’s grooms cake for our wedding. When I went to sample cakes, we got a tray with a few different flavors, but we ended up going with traditional white cake for the wedding cake and chocolate for my husband’s groom’s cake. It was absolutely delicious! So moist and full of flavor. I was so pleased with the result! I had some detailed requests– and they did a fantastic job putting my vision together! I received so many compliments at my wedding about the cakes and how wonderful they tasted. Will be using them again in the future!

The owner took her time in getting around to the counter considering it was my 1^st time there. I was given 3 samples of cake which were white, red velvet, and strawberry. To my surprise, all of them were dry.
On a similar note, I had mentioned my son’s birthday was next month in February and that he wanted a Spiderman cake. The owner mentioned she could not draw Spiderman since he was a «copyrighted» figure and that they could only use a Spiderman toy as though the animated figure would be jumping off of the cake.
To be frank, I don’t believe the owner wanted my business. I was calm, cool, and collected… I know what good cake tastes like and this did not hit the spot. Also, when I arrived home I googled Spiderman cakes and what do you know… several cakes had Spiderman handcrafted by bakeries apparently around the world.
As a mother, I want the best for my son in taste and in quality when it comes down to his cakes. He is a child, and the cake revolves around creating those precious memories. My guests at the party should be begging to take cake home as has been the case at past parties.

Cooper Street recently did the wedding cake and groom’s cake for our wedding reception.
From our initial consultation with them, I was a little worried that they wouldn’t be able to remember all of the details and our specific requests by our wedding date — the man taking down all of our info wrote it on a hand-​written receipt and a piece of scratch paper. However, the cake at the tasting was awesome and the price was amazing, especially with some of the crazy prices out there for wedding cakes! With a coupon we printed out from their website, we got quite a deal.
My mom followed up with the bakery a few weeks before the wedding and took them our sugar flowers, toppers, and candy topping for the groom’s cake, as well as specific pictures. She said that she was able to talk to the actual baker for our cakes and she had a much better experience in that consultation.
As far as day-​of, the cakes looked absolutely beautiful! Cooper Street did a great job and both cakes looked awesome. They fulfilled our specific requests and the cake tasted great. We got many compliments from our guests! They delivered our cakes to our reception venue for a reasonable fee.
Overall, we ended up having a great experience with Cooper Street Bakery!

This is the only place I buy my cakes. We have a big family so I buy several birthday cakes a year & for other occasions too. They have all been beautiful & delicious. They made our 50^th anniversary cake & everyone enjoyed it.

I think their cakes are wonderful! Fair priced and I have never had a problem with any requested design. They have never disappointed me and I have been going there for 6 years. My only disappointment is that they won’t take debit cards just cash or checks.

The cake taste amazing !!! But I was disappointed in the design. Called several times before I got through but I must say the cake was amazing !!! I’ll go back

I honestly don’t know why so many bakeries found in Arlington, Texas find the means with which to charge patrons an extremely low price for quality baked goods. But the city boasts much in the way of affordable confectionery goods, and that is for the better of a city chock full of people who enjoy their diabetic-​inducing grub.
Case in point? Highly caloric sweets at 3 for a buck. Goodness… no wonder Arlington is smackdab in between Fort Worth and Dallas – two suburbs that have once held high acclaims for being among the top fattest cities in the US.
I will voice one extremely important complaint: there were a mere 2 raisins in my oatmeal raisin cookie. Ridiculous!
Aside from that, the others were good, but I just think that there are better institutions in The Agg that offer higher quality selections. In terms of pricing, it is hard to beat Cooper Street Bakery, but on the whole, there could be some improvements. Alas, you cannot go wrong with a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie.

My sister has been wanting to check out this bakery for a while now after passing by it so much.
The interior is nothing special to rave about, it just seemed old and outdated. They have fake cakes on display around the place. There was various baked goods on display on tables. There was even a sales rack (I saw a marble cake there for $ 5).
Anyway, we just got cookies. M&m cookies, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, recess peanut butter cookies, a chocolate cake ball and a few more items.
The m&m and chocolate chip cookies were very thin and sub par. The peanut butter cookies were a little thicker and chewy (hooray). Recess peanut butter cookies were good, I like them. I had never had a cake ball before so the experience with the one here was totally new. The texture was different. It was too moist, borderline wet, yet it seemed completely baked.
Service was average.

meh, I’ve experienced better! I think this place is overpriced and the cake is not so delicious. It’s just average!
I got a medium size cake here and they charged me 35 bucks for it. It wasnt even a special order. I could have gotten the same cake at target for cheaper!
