Ruby Bakery

One of our favorite bakeries. The cakes are delicious and so are all of the cookies and treats. The service is amazing and and their staff is so sweet. We recently got our wedding cake from Rubys and it was absolutely perfect, plus their prices are excellent!

It was so so. The cake was okay. It doesn’t even come close to Porto’s. I loved the dipped fortune cookies. I went to pick up a cake that my supervisor ordered for a work Birthday party and I almost thought they weren’t going to let me have the cake even though I had the cash to pay. They wanted me to confirm the phone number that was left on the order. It seemed like they didn’t trust me. Who picks up random cakes and willing to pay for them. Get real.

We tried the strawberry cake today for a birthday party. I liked the fresh strawberries and the cake was good, the cream was also good, not too sweet. It felt like a lot of cream tho, I feel like the cake was 50% cream haha. I do want to try their mango cake because I heard good things about it. I will go back in March, mango season.

We came here for a cake tasting. They recommended the strawberry cake for tasting since it is their best seller. Only one slice is complimentary. The slice was delicious. Overall it was not too sweet. The whipped cream frosting was easy to eat and the cake was fluffy and moist. Unfortunately we weren’t offered a 3 tier cake. They offered a 2 tier cake that would feed 75 – 80 guests. They didn’t have a a big selection of design choices. Although we know we aren’t going to choose Ruby Bakery for our wedding cake, I enjoyed the strawberry cake and wouldn’t mind to come back here again for it if we are in the area. We purchased a cream puff to share and it was delicious. I really like it was still chilled when we ate it.

Ruby Bakery is a really good bakery. The cakes are well decorated and well made. I really like this bakery. I get most of my birthday cakes from this place!

I decided to stop by Ruby’s as I needed a cake last minute. It was my grandmothers birthday dinner and needed a cake the same day. My family and I have been coming to this bakery for many years now. I came in at around noon and showed them a picture of the caked I wanted. I specified the colors I wanted to incorporate and the basic overall look. The owners were very kind and told me they could do it for me. I Came back a few hours later to pick it up & seriously once again Ruby’s did not disappoint! The cake came out even better than I expected. I am very pleased and will continue to be a loyal customer.
P. S. I also ordered a two tier cake for my mom’s 60^th birthday celebration last year. The cake was beautifully decorated! All the guests loved it. I also enjoy the fact that their cakes are light and not too sweet! Try getting the mango cake whenever its in season. It’s seriously the best!

I was going to a party and decided to try Ruby’s because of the great reviews. So glad I did! My friends all raved about the strawberry cream cake, the éclairs, and the red velvet cupcakes. Prices were phenomenal. So happy I didn’t pick pastries up at the grocery store where I would have paid more for junk.

I ordered a two-​tier cake on Wednesday for pick-​up on Sunday morning and Ruby Bakery came through as they have for our family for over 30 years. The cake (chocolate mouse on the 1^st tier and strawberry w/​white cake on the 2^nd tier) was moist and delicious. Everyone loved it and there was not a piece left. Their icing is so light and fluffy and not too sweet. Always a good go to place for cakes and the prices are really good!

Wow! Can I give them 10 stars! This bakery always comes through for me with impressive results! 3 days before my daughters birthday party they took my order for a 2 layer custom cake. Not only was it beautiful but it tasted amazing! They are so helpful and kind when you call and when you come in. They helped me to my car with my giant cake and gave me some tips on how to hold on to it for the car ride. Thank you Amy and all the staff at Ruby bakery there is a reason you are so successful! Keep up the great work!

Everything about this place was awesome!
The moment I walked in the door I was greeted with a smiling helpful woman who answered all of my questions with patience and kindness.
We had a slightly odd photo that we wanted put on the cake (a YouTube screen shot of a viral video) and we were worried the image would not be high enough quality. But she just told me to email it to her and when I ran out to get cash (cash only establishment) she had already uploaded the photo to check it for quality and assured me it’d work just fine.
Awesome. Great. But then there is the whole part about the cake being good.
I’ve ordered cakes that have looked great and tasted store bought. But this cake!!! Was. Amazing.
Seriously. One of the best tasting cakes I’ve ever had.
It was SO moist. And the custard filling was a perfect combo to the marble cake.
The icing was delicious too. Often times I find icing too sweet and scrape most of it off. But theirs was not too sweet at all. It was soft and fluffy and delicious.
Very pleased with my experience here! Can’t wait to need more cake.

First time buyer! I absolutely love their cakes! Not only are they delicious but beautiful as well. I bought my brother’s wedding cake their and the design was flawless, everybody thought it was from an expensive bakery. They have fair prices, wedding cakes start at $ 95, which is not bad. Mine was $ 140. I love their strawberry cream cake and chocolate as well. I couldn’t decide so I got both, top tire chocolate and bottom tire strawberry.
If purchasing a cake they will let you sample all their flavors for free! I got to try 3 normal slices of cake before making up my decision. Nothing but a satisfy customer, I am definitely going again!

I always order from here whenever I get assigned in bringing the cake in parties/​potlucks. Twice I had them do a picture cake and I only spent less than 40 bucks. I was recently there to order a small cake with a few customizations and it only costed me $ 17.
For the cakes, I recommend their strawberry cream cake! It’s what I order every time. It’s light, moist, delicious and just plain perfect! They also use fresh and sweet strawberries. I’ve been wanting to try their mango cake but either it’s not in season or it sells out fast if it is in season (I just can’t win). You should also try their éclair! My fiancé is not into cakes and pastries but he sure likes Ruby’s eclairs.
Service here is always 5 stars!
Cash only!

I chose this bakery based on the positive reviews here on Unilocal and I have no regrets. However, I’m not sure I would return, based solely on their customer service which I experienced as a mixed bag. More details on that later. I’ll start with the positives:
1. The cake I ordered was for my son’s bday party. I saw a design on their website and called to request it on a round cake meant to feed about 24 people. The nice gentleman I spoke to said that the cake usually came in a smaller size and a larger size than I needed, but that they could make the cake higher to make it the right size for my number of guests. I really appreciated how he was willing to modify the cake to meet my needs.
2. The day before I was to pick up the cake, the bakery called me to confirm the design of the cake. I thought it was great that they were so conscientious.
3. I pick up the cake and the design is perfect! The lettering, the colors, and the design were fantastic! I was giddy with excitement to see such a great-​looking cake! The young woman who boxed up the cake for me was really pleasant and nice. She did warn me to not push down on the top of the cake box so that I wouldn’t ruin the decoration. The box was rectangular shaped and came with a separate top and bottom. I was really nervous carrying the cake out but the young woman showed me how to carry it and cautioned me about stepping out of the front door bc there was a small step right outside the door. She opened the door for me and was just really helpful overall.
4. The cake made it home safely and my son wanted to take a look at it. I carefully opened the box, showed him the cake, and then tried to replace the lid on the box. To my horror, I accidentally pressed down on the lid, smudging half of the design. My husband came to look at what happened, and he said, «What? This is totally the wrong box for this cake!» Which was my same thought when I first saw the box at the bakery but I didn’t want to argue the point at the time. I just tried to follow the young woman’s instructions and I obviously failed:(
5. I sheepishly call the bakery, explain what happened, and ask if they can fix it. The same nice young woman who luckily answered the phone said, ««Sure, bring it back and we’ll see what we can do».
Already embarrassed, I make my way back to the bakery, and this is where customer service starts to become a mixed bag.
Upon entering, an older gentleman immediately asks me, «What did you do??» and I recount the details of my mistake. Then a older woman proceeds to show me the proper way to position the lid… I’m to fit it on from the top-​down and not from backpack to front which I had initially done. She also asked me why I opened the lid to begin with, and when I explained I wanted to show it to my son, she slightly shook her head in disapproval. She then gets a new box while the nice young woman fixes the design. She did a great job and made the cake look new again! I really appreciated her work!
The older woman tells me she is just going to charge me $ 1.25 or so for the new box. I was already prepared to pay for their fixing the cake and I had some money ($ 5) ready, so I just went ahead and gave her the money and told her to keep it. It was the right thing to do but I did appreciate how they didn’t outright charge me for the repair.
Even though I made the error, I just wish the above comments («what did you do?») and the woman shaking her head didn’t happen because they had the effect of making me feel more stupid and embarrassed than I already felt. I don’t think there was any ill-​intent, but it just made me feel worse about the whole thing and feeling like I never wanted to return.
The cake was indeed beautiful and the highlight of the party. The flavor was good, although I expected a little more bc of all the people raving about the cakes on Unilocal.
We ordered the chocolate with banana filling, which is not their signature cake, so maybe that’s why I was a little disappointed. I did like the fact it wasn’t super sweet and the frosting was light and tasty.
So sadly I give this whole experience 3 stars. I just love giving businesses perfect ratings but I also strive to be honest based on my personal experience. This bakery is really busy and gets great reviews, which I do believe are well-​deserved. I do think the people there are generally nice but just couldn’t quite hide their annoyance that day. It’s okay. After my mistake, I’m sure they won’t miss me as a customer anyway!:)
Tip: if you do purchase a higher round cake here and if you pick it up and see it in a rectangular box, be VERY careful!!! My advice is to not peek at the cake and open the box when you’re ready to serve it.
You have been forewarned.

Affordable cake prices. I came in to get couple slices of their cakes to try. I got their chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and their vanilla cake with strawberry/​cream filling. Both were very good. I usually don’t eat frosting, too sweet for my taste but the frosting they use here is very good, it tasted very light, whipped-​cream-​like. I’m going come back to purchase a cake when I’m in need of a simple tasting and affordable cake. This place takes cash only.

Their stawberry cream cake is delicious. Everytime I order it for my daughters bday parties, the parents are asking for the bakery info. It’s a hit everytime!
Its a small mom and pop shop with resonable prices, takes cash only and last min orders.

Outstanding work! Great cake, great price, friendly service. I will definitely recommend to family and friends. My daughter absolutely loved her cake. Thank you for making her day special.

ordered my daughter’s birthday cake here since she wanted a STRAWBERRY CREAM CAKE. i heard through the grapevine that Ruby’s are pretty good. so we came to the store to reserve the cake and check them out. the bakery is a no frills spot, just like walking into a chinatown bakery, but in Eagle Rock. fine by me since it’s no problem skipping the trip to downtown!
the STRAWBERRY CREAM CAKE was just perfect. strawberries were fresh, whipped cream light — not overly sweet. also, it was reasonably priced! i paid for and placed ordered a few days in advance and service was friendly.
get a load of the fun little treats in the case… HELLO KITTY cookies — i loved using these for party favors. they are 3/​$ 1 and love their novelty of other fun shaped cookies. including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle faces!

A few years ago we went to a friend’s wedding and they had this amazing strawberry cream wedding cake. Cut to: a few years later and my daughter is requesting that cake for her birthday. We found out it was from Ruby Bakery in Eagle Rock. Called and ordered the fresh strawberry cream cake for four people.
When I got there I was looking for this giant bakery but instead found a little hole in the wall. Ruby Bakery. Half the words in Chinese. (I think.) When they presented the cake, I thought it looked tiny, but my wife ordered it, so I got it. It was around $ 12-​$ 13.
TIP: Cash only!
The cake was awesome! My daughter loved it! And though it was more than enough for four people, we should probably have went TWICE AS BIG — for leftovers!
Best strawberry cream cake hands down.

Fortune cookie review only!!!
How cute are these chocolate covered fortune cookies?!
So crispy and fresh, doesn’t taste stale and being dipped in the chocolate didn’t take away from the fortune cookie.
Chocolate tasted more like dark chocolate than milk chocolate, great compliment with the sweetness of the fortune cookie. Decorated with sprinkles and viola, there you have a sweet tasty treat!

When the person who was suppose to make a smash cake, 40 cupcakes, and 40 sugar cookies for your daughter’s first birthday cancels 7 days before the party, what the heck do you do?
Go to Ruby Bakery.
On such short notice, they delivered and conquered. Smash cake? Done. 40 cupcakes? Done.
The frosting was light and not too sweet. The cake and cupcakes were moist and airy. They even had animal figurines to place on top of the cake and cupcakes to go along with the jungle theme. Decently priced and reliable.
A definite win.
