DOCD’s Southern Desserts

The cakes are great but the customer service sucks. Hire new counter people, the girl answering the phone has a really bad attitude problem. If this wasn’t so close to home, and last minute, I would go elsewhere. This will be my last time ordering from here.

I’m leaving an updated review because the manger actually read my review and commented and I think that’s great customer service. Now let me elaborate from my previous review which was short. All the baking is done on the premises. The store is very clean. Everything they sell is good, however my favorite is the red velvet and the Original banana pudding. I’m not saying that the other cakes aren’t good. It just those two desserts are my favorite. I also order a cake and cupcakes from there a while back and also have no complaints, they did everything to accommodate me in how I wanted the cake and cupcakes. I stated in my previous review about prices change, I guess I never look at the menu to know when they change and I don’t have social media this is probably the closet thing I have to social media so I’m usually unaware when the prices change. I would give this a 5 star review but sometimes the customer service is not so great. If this review was based on food alone it was definitely be 5 stars. It’s this one girl there and she always have an attitude. Customer service is everything to me.

Great cakes!!! This is my second time ordering a cake from DOCD’s and it was as delicious the and consistant as I remember from my first visit. The costomer service was dynomite. They retained my information from the last time I ordered a cake. I have now had their signature Red Velvet Cake along with the Yellow Cake with Chocolate Icing. Delicious! I highly recommend. They need two days for traditional cakes and a few weeks for custome orders.

Went in with my wife, we weren’t really up for sweets but we said, why not… We ended up having 4 cakes and a pudding :-)
They are delicious, we had the famous red velvet, just thinking of it while i am writing, the pineapple coconut cake, blue velvet and as a dessert a banana pudding :-)
Anytime again, thanks DOCD’s Southern Desserts

Such friendly staff – I went in later at night with my roomie, we wanted something sweet. I ordered the pineapple coconut cake and she ordered the blue velvet cake – both were amazing. Then we tried the banana pudding, I’m not a huge fan of banana pudding but it was also really good.
I’ll definitely be coming back here, the staff was so friendly and cakes were amazing.

The food is absolutely delicious. Their desserts are top notch and so incredibly moist! The prices are kind of high and the customer service is hit or miss so I knocked off 1 star.
Definitely check this place out when you’ve got a mouth watering sweet tooth!

Best cake I’ve ever had!!!(especially in NYC) Moist and light, right amount of frosting, perfection! My husband and I had the Pineapple Coconut Cake and the Golden with Chocolate Frosting Cake so good!!! They even threw in a Vanilla Banana Cream Pudding. Going back for sure!

The chocolate cake !!! Huge piece of moist Perfectly balanced on the sweetness of the cake versus the frosting. The only downside is they are so conveniently located off the Utica train stop it’s hard to not stop in for cake all the time :-)

I decided to order from Southern Desserts on Seamless last night! The second I put in the order, I was given a phone call stating they would be running late. I had no issue with this, yet when I was getting a bit antsy I called them and they reassured me they hadn’t forgotten about me. Not only that, but when they did arrive, they gave me a slice for free! I was touched, and their delivery man was also very kind. And of course, they cake was notably presented wonderfully, but it was delicious.

Today, I finally made it to this southern style bakery that I’ve been wanting to go to for months. I’m so glad I made the hr and 15min trip from Long Island to Brooklyn to check them out. I picked up a slice of German chocolate cake, 7-​UP pound cake, and their infamous strawberry shortcake which I loved the most. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the glass cake full of delightful eye catching sweets. I wanted to buy every single slice in the cake but God took the wheel and stopped me in my tracks lol Everyone was so nice and professional! The aroma of cake made you feel like you were in the kitchen baking with them. It was also a pleasure to see the owner there preparing cakes with his staff. For me that shows true dedication, passion, and love for his product and what he believed in. Even before I purchased my items I knew this place was legit by the constant flow up of people in and out of the bakery. I’m so glad I was able to stop in and finally enjoy what my eyes have been gazing at and mouth has been drooling up for months. This place is definitely a gem in the Bedstuy part of Brooklyn and for sure a must to visit. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I must say i have been a red velvet fanatic for some years now n i have searched high n low near n far for the best tasting slice n thankx to Doc’s i have finally found it!
Once i tasted the first piece i was in Heaven!!!
It melted in my mouth, soft, fluffy, moist, warm, generously sliced n it tasted as if it were just baked moments ago. I instantly fell in love!!! It was so good i started talking to myself n making weird noises hubby was looking at me a lil crazy so i had to put it away n eat the rest when he was gone…
When i got home i ate some more n more but could not finish it.
Btwn the slice being so big n time you needed to take in btwn each slice to really let it sink in it was impossible.
That first slice lasted me all the way till lunchtime at werk the next day n even still i took my time eating it to appreciate the goodness
I got the banana pudding too n that was good as well
As if it couldnt get any better they have slices with walnuts on it
Get one of each n thank me later ;)

This is the best cake in the city!
I’m in the Bronx and it is worth the trip for a treat for yourself or if you are entertaining.
yes they are sweet as others reviewers have said but it’s an enjoyable, guilt free sweet. You taste a well constructed caring recipe and not just a sugar doused dessert
The red velvet; I can swear by– the carrot and chocolate made me smile, literally :)
The staff is cheerful and pleasant making it an all out sweet experience.
Looking forward to my next slice at the Atlantic Antic.

My partner brought me here, and I would like to say that the red velvet cake was so good my eyes rolled to the back of my head.
The cake is not too dense and oily like cake man raven’s.
Also tried the banana pudding and I must say it’s absolutely delicious… Very light with chunks of banana and wafers ugh so good!
I’m currently telling my other coworkers to come here. The only thing I’m mad about is that my bf lives literally 5 mins away and I had no idea this gem was here.

Went here on my bday 5÷14÷2015, to get me two pieces of cake the guy in the place was nice, since it was our first time there, he gave us a free slice, I must say those cake slices was so moist and delicious, I enjoyed all three pieces had the chocolate with coconut, lemon Cake yummy and a piece with red velvet and yellow cake mix, I will definitely go here again, I’m thinking about ordering a cake for my boyfriend for his bday

Nice newly open little spot. No healthy choices. All the slices have icing on top. And too many fillings. Too sweet also. I tried the German Chocolate slice. I didn’t like it. Taste stale and cold. Also Way too sweet. All these desert spots are the same. Ted velvet cake etc. What about a healthy choice that wont make me feel bloated, fat and overweight. Create something new!

$ 6 red velvet cake with nuts that somehow has no artificial ingredients or colors, and $ 6 large banana pudding because the small one for $ 3 wouldn’t have met the $ 10 CC minimum. Cake was moist but forgettable (as 99% of red velvet cakes are) but enjoyed the banana pudding.
They inquired about the ‘See ID’ in the signature spot on my card but failed to ask me to provide it before accepting payment

This is a GREAT spot for red velvet cake. I’ve only had the German chocolate and red velvet so can’t attest to all the desserts but who cares when you have red velvet?
This is a small spot but it doesn’t feel like a hole in the wall either. The place is clean, well-​lit and an inviting signage although the name itself could be more enticing. Not sure what DOCD is.
The times I have been it has always been 1 of 2 young gentlemen at the counter. 1 is always very nice and provides great service while the other is so/​so and could stand to have a bit more southern hospitality.
Now to the cakes! Delicious. The red velvet with walnuts is super moist not oily and has a rich flavor. The icing is just the right ratio. I hate getting too much cake or too much icing. It’s also not too sweet which I appreciate. I hate diabetes icing. I’ve had the german chocolate cake too which is just okay. It’s a bit too fluffy and light. I’m not a chocolate fan so when I do get it it has to be a bit denser, fudgey moist like gooey. This was more like tiramisu lightness which is usually fine just not my preference for chocolate based cakes.
I definitely come here when I can since it’s not a far walk. Right nearby the A train too if you want to swing by for a whole cake or just a slice.

I can’t complain about anything here! The desserts were «smack yo momma good!» Ok not really.
If you have any ties to The Dirty South you will especially appreciate the delightful sweets served here. The red velvet was just the right density and was covered by a smooth and creamy cream cheese frosting. I usually only prefer banana pudding made by someone in my family but I have broke down that barrier after trying their strawberry banana pudding.
Customer service was good as I was welcomed by smiling, courteous faces.
I like the fact that it is on a side street so you can double park if needed.
I suggest having your dessert with water as they can be VERY sweet, diabetics beware and ladies apologize to your hips later.
Enjoy!

The guy at the counter was really friendly and gave us a free cupcake! very nice. I enjoyed my coconut pineapple cake — although it could have been a tad more moist. My bf thought it chocolate cake could have been more moist but he said the red velvet was spot on. Anyway, normally we go all the way downtown to the former Cakeman space — Piece of Velvet — but this is great and much closer to home. Would definitely come back.

The high reviews had me so excited to try this place. I am always on the prowl for new dessert places. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed.
The yellow cake with chocolate frosting was good, but didn’t stand out in any way. The frosting was a little too thick and sweet and the cake was a bit dry.
The banana pudding wasn’t good… it had an odd texture and the wafers were all in a clump.
Uninspiring.
