Cake House

Korean bakery where you can taste the quality!
Their multigrain seed & nut bread is pricey ($ 7) but so good! I toast it and put generous amount of avocado w/​cracked lemon pepper and sea salt! Its so good and healthy!
I also love their hodoo gwa ja (small round walnut bread) love how they used barely wheat and does not skimp on res beans.
Their whipped cream bread is fatty but its perfect yo make dreamy french toast!
Make sure you reserve whipped cream bread and multigrain seed&nut bread. They’re usually sold out around noon!

Some people might think I’m a skinny Asian kid but inside there is an overweight fat kid that loves bang. This place has been my number 1 spot for years. Their gom bo bang is the shiiiiet.

Custard fish cakes for the win! Whenever, I’m near a Cake House — gotta stop by and get them :)
I would also stop by for a sweet potato cake slice, but I love fish cakes, hehe!
You get 8 pieces for $ 4 — the outside is a chewy waffle texture, and inside is a creamy custard. Great for eating while shopping in the Galleria, on the drive home or as a yummy dessert or snack :) They taste even better of you’re able to refrigerate them for a bit too.
Minimum $ 10 purchase to use your credit card.

Everything here is fantastic! Their Soboro buns, morning loaf, and sweet balls are my favorites!

The woman Julian Yi is rude! She is in the cashier! I got a birthday cake and I’m paid $ 100 bill and I feel embarrassed because she check my money 3 times and ask also the woman working at the back! Not even smile! 1 star for the cake and negative 0 for the employee!

This cake house location sold old rolls which was hard when I went home to eat it. I called to see if they would exchange the rolls for me. They said they would and I asked for the employees name. She did not give me a name assuring me that the bread would be exchanged for a new one.
When I went they told me they do not accept returns on their baked goods.
Obviously having no name to give them they refused to switch out the rolls and wasted my time.
Once I stated that I would probably file a complaint to the health department for selling old bread did they offer to switch out the rolls.
They did ask me for my information and number so that «I don’t do this type of thing again.»
Terrible service here. If they had told me they would not replace the rolls I would have accepted this fact and took it as a loss. Then I probably would be pissed off at the moment and complained the next time I went.
Understandable that their staff could have made a mistake and sold bread that was old but their customer service is definitely not acceptable.
After this experience with their rude employees– now, not only would I not go back I definitely would advise all others not to be patrons of this establishment.

I always get the cream bun ($ 1.20). Sometimes the bread filling is so little I feel like what’s the point of calling it a cream bun. And the ajummas at the register and the ones refilling the breads are so rude. I don’t understand why they are so rude ALL THE FREAKING TIME! I always have a bad experience here. Go to Vermont location if u can. They are much better.

Service is very bed… They been makeing lot a money.
That’s why service geting bed. I think.

A quaint bakery inside the Galleria near the grocery store. Lots of freshly baked options like cake, bread, and even macarons. They open as early as 7 AM and goods are constantly being baked throughout the day.

LOVE their mini, custard-​filled bunggeoppang (fish-​shaped pastry)! Whenever I’m in SoCal, I always make sure to drop by Galleria just to pick up several boxes of this deliciousness.

****CARD MINIMUM $ 10****
I love Cake House ^_​_​_​^ I used to come here as a child with my parents when my family visited LA, and this place always stays the same. This place is perfect for snacks on-​the-​go after you grocery shop at the Galleria.
In the left back corner of the bakery (when you face Cake House from the outside) there are these deep fried sausage rolls that are soooo good. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend. Their bread is all standard/​good! I got this flat almond cracker snack (it’s $ 3-​$ 4ish) and there’s like 5 medium pieces of it inside a plastic packaging but it is SO addicting and good.
In the front there’s also these round, hollow-​ish sesame ball breads that have a chewy consistency in the middle (both matcha flavored and regular flavored) and I’d recommend those for a unique bread if you want to try something other than the typical red bean or cream bread!
My favorite part of Cake House is the ice cream bars. I always get red bean (remember to get napkins bc they melt so quickly in the LA sun)!

The ajumma workers are really rude. i always see them chit chatting in the corner & they don’t even care if customers come by. We asked for 6 candles but when we got home, we found only 5. LOL dude do you now know how to count??? The cake was very soft and good though
I hope they train their older ajumma workers to give good customer service and do their job

Gawd… that older Ahjeuma-​ownerish lady… RUDE, RUDE and oh, RUDE! I don’t need a friendship with her but how about pulling out that spiky pole she’s got up in her butt.

This joint is the bomb! Might be the best Korean bakery around.
Cake costs are between a dub to $ 40. Bit pricey, but chicks love the birthday cakes here. The presentation matches the wonderful sweet sugar aroma and fresh fruits as they wrap around your palettes.
word to the mofo.

I ordered cupcakes for my birthday and they were amazing! Came out exactly as I wanted it, and tasted even better.
I’ve been getting treats from Cake House for years and I think the breads are wonderful, the pastries are delicious and the french macarons are the best.

These guys are a joke.
Found hair in my bread.
Not clean at all.
Ridiculous, never coming to a cake house franchise ever again…

Tried a few different types of their Asian bread since my friend brought it over. Overall, good quality and flavors, although nothing really stood out in my mind. There are so many various bakeries in the area that it’s hard to tell sometimes. The bread I tried had also been sitting out for 6 hours, so not sure what it would have tasted like if I just ate it at the time of purchase. Will visit in the future and check it out!

Despite the array of yummy goodness, I only get two of my favorite things.
Green tea and black sesame bread are sort of chewy yet airy and not too sweet. I love eating it with peanut butter and raisins as breakfast.
Green Tea Chiffon Cake, this cake will make non-​sweet tooth people into a monster and fight for that last slice. The to-​go pack comes with matches, candles, plastic knife, two tiny forks and dry ice! Seriously?! That’s bomb!

The only items I’ve tried here are small Korean pastries. The best things come in small packages!
— White bean paste walnut cracker (
), 3 for $ 1. Soft chewy outside. Although the filling looks like red bean paste, no? (
)
— Tiny taiyaki with custard crème (
), 3 for $ 1. Really chewy outside. It actually was an unlabeled bakery item, so I was pleasantly surprised by the sweet custard filling hahaha (
).
— Sesame ball (
), $ 1.25. Mistook it for the green tea flavor, but it was delicious anyway (
). Enjoyed the chewiness of the inside dough, which was minimal in sugar, and the sesame undertone of the flakier exterior. If I were to describe the flavor, it would be «starch.»
Oh, and they have these Korean donuts that sell pretty quickly. We watched one lady buy an entire box of them, oh snap.

The Background: Korean bakery with various cakes/​cheesecakes, freshly baked goods, coffee and random items like croquettes, red bean donuts, sandwiches and even macarons!
The details: I’ve been here a couple of times and I can’t help but be reminded of the notorious 85 degrees bakery or even paris baguette. The style is the same, if that helps to put things into context for you.
I’ve fallen into the my eyes are bigger than my stomach phase here before. So I’ve done my fair share of goodies here. I’ve tried (this list isn’t everything, just what really stood out):
Macarons (1.50 a piece comes in coconut, pistachio, strawberry, blueberry, coffee) — unfortunately doesn’t matter the flavor, all tastes like colored sugar.
Red Bean pastry: $ 1.35 — EH ok, insides were too sweet
White Bean pastry: $ 1.35 — EH ok, insides were too sweet
Red Bean Donut: red been insides, outside sprinkled with sugar: good, but often out of stock!
Regular Asian Donut — sprinkled with sugar: best when warm… but often out of stock!
Bavarian puff (?) — just odd, it’s like someone stuffed pudding inside a piece of bread.
Mini chocolate loaf with chocolate cream: this is just brown bread with brown butter. It tastes like nothing. I don’t get how they turn bread into a deep chocolate color without adding flavor to it.
If you want to try to get something out of the cake case, good luck. You’ll be standing there awkwardly if you expect someone to ask you if you need help. My advice, be assertive and almost annoying in trying to get someone’s attention if you want that $ 3.00-$ 4.00 slice of chiffon cake, cheesecake or the $ 25-​$ 35 whole cake.
The verdict: More of a 2.5 stars! The pastries honestly aren’t THAT good. I’ve felt a bit let down with about 75% of the things that I’ve eaten here, which is what drags their rating down. Things look nice, but upon biting into a pastry, there is either no flavor, odd flavor or just bad flavors. The service isn’t that great — don’t expect them to go out of their way to help you. What is good is the display, everything LOOKS better than it is.
