Rum Cake Lounge

The cakes are absolutely amazing and the owners are very friendly and accommodating! I ordered a cake for my husband’s birthday, and they allowed me to come pick it up from their location since I live locally. They added extra nuts into the dark chocolate French roast cake. The price is reasonable, and the cake really feeds a lot more than you would think. It was very delicious and all our guests loved it. We will be coming back for more!

Love the cake-​got the monthly special for my October birthday. Orange chocolate truffle-​mmm-​yummy! Still had difficulty with the website, it wouldn’t take any credit card! Had to call Olivier to fix, some website glitch, and the only reason gave it a 4 star-​cake is the best!

Olivier did it again! I decided to try his new Gluten-​free vanilla rum cake for my French class and everyone enjoyed it. We couldn’t believe how moist and flavorful it was. The white chocolate ganache was smooth and intense. An ingredient list and nutritional breakdown was provided. Olivier always provided professional service, responding to email questions promptly and able to meet his clients at the office for local pickups.

I found this bakery through Unilocal and ordered a cake for my Mother-in-Law’s birthday. Ordering online was very easy, I chose the pick up option. I called to verify pick up time and they were extremely nice, helpful and accommodating.
We ordered the Big Chantilly Crème cake and it was delicious. All natural ingredients and tasted just as good as a homemade cake without all the work. I would definitely recommend ordering a rum cake from here. All kinds of amazing flavors!

I found this bakery on Unilocal as one of the few gluten free bakeries in San Diego. The reviews seemed good so I ordered two rum cakes for an office celebration.
I wasn’t expecting much from the gluten free nutella cake but it was a really lovely delicious surprise! After the strict gluten free people received their pieces, I didn’t tell anyone the difference in the cakes. Everyone LOVED both of them, including my Parisian boss.
Their website was down when I ordered so I called and spoke to the owner and he was amazingly helpful. I placed my order, made an appointment to pick it up and everything was very smooth.
This place definitely «takes the cake» :) Great job guys, thanks for making me look so good!

One thing I’m very particular with whenever I order personalized product was theM paying attention to my request. Let’s all admit it, after you specified your order still they would end messing up your order! This place on the other hand was very exceptional! I ordered fruit cake without any rhum on it, and these people were amazing. Olivier was very nice and helpful. Will definitely order again and I will recommend you with all my friends as my friend recommended you to me. Thank you very much!

All of the rum cakes are very moist and delicious. The mandarin orange vanilla bean rum cake is my favorite.

Bought a deal on Deal Chicken — «$ 15 For $ 30 Worth Of 1 Flavor Gourmet Rum Cake». Couldn’t get the code to work on their website, so I emailed them and was told that the deal only works on the Mandarin Orange Vanilla Bean (it’s in the fine print), or I can pay an extra $ 15 to get the Chocolate one I wanted. I was gonna cancel but one of the owners convinced me, claiming that it’s his favorite — so I gave the Mandarin Orange a shot.
Well, it didn’t taste that great. For me the cake tasted imbalanced and one-​dimensional. It has a prominent orange scent with faint vanilla notes, follow by the sharp and overpowering bitterness from the zest/​pith, and ends with a potent but good rum taste.

Their cakes are absolutely decadent and sinful!
DH surprised me with a Double Chocolate French Roast Rum Cake from here. The chocolate cake was dark, rich and bursting with flavors of coffee and rum. Despite the flavor being double chocolate, the cake wasn’t cloyingly sweet.
We bought the same cake again for a party and it was a big hit.
Few tips on the cake:
It is not for kids. It is really meant for adults with a sophisticated taste.
It is big and easily serves 10+ people.
It stays fresh for a week or more without refrigeration.
They do have a smaller sized cake but it comes in a pack of 6.
Come here for the utterly delicious cake. Do not expect a «lounge». It is a bare boned bakery and looks like an office space. Nothing fancy schmancy at all. But who cares when the cake is this good!

The double chocolate «French Roast» was moist, dense and intensely flavored with both chocolate and rum. The rum was strongest in the middle, but discernible throughout. Not too sweet, and utterly delicious.
A bit pricey but it’s a large and heavy cake, so, an excellent value.
As the business grows, we might hope for a few process improvements:
— A resealable bag
— Some sort of base under the cake
— Be able to buy the small cakes as onesies (currently have to get 6 of one flavor)
— A listing of restaurants where you can get just a slice, to be added on the website. A restaurant which has the good taste to order these cakes might be worth visiting for the rest of its menu…
But when the cake is this good, who cares, really? Those are just minor nitpicks. I can’t wait to try more flavors.

Gluten-​Free Vanilla Bean Gourmet Rum Cake (comes in mini 2 oz. or full size 43 oz.) is made with rice flour, homemade crème fraîche, creamy white chocolate ganache, sweet butter, organic sea salt, farm fresh eggs, premium vanilla beans, pure extracts, and hand-​glazed with their signature Madagascar vanilla bean rum glaze. It is extremely light and moist with vanilla flavor bursting out. It reminded me of my childhood. In a Japanese household, desserts are made with rice flour. I love it and the slight grittiness of the flour gives it a bit of character, separating it from the usual cake. The white chocolate ganache is fantastic! It is very luxurious and just melts when it hits your tongue. For my first time trying a gluten-​free product, I was pleasantly surprised. Thumbs up, way up!
Pumpkin Chai Cranberry Pecan is a moist pumpkin rum cake made with organic pumpkin, tart cranberry coulis, toasted caramelized crunchy pecans, and finished with a delicate sweet chai rum glaze. It’s all of your favorite holiday flavors baked into a gourmet rum cake. This is exactly what I said after taking a bite of this delicious cake. All that was missing was the turkey! The cake is so moist and the pumpkin doesn’t make the cake heavy at all. It also has lots of textures to keep your mouth happy from the tart cranberry to the crunchy pecans. Thumbs up, way up!
Double Chocolate French Roast is luscious chocolate rum cake infused with undertones of robust French roast coffee, ripples of dark chocolate ganache, finished with caramelized walnuts, and drenched in a decadent chocolate glaze. Oh, my! This cake will bring out the chocolaholic in anyone. The cake tastes like a chocolate truffle and reminded me of the chocolate truffles I made last Christmas with Johnny Walker. Chocolate and good liqueur always make a very nice pairing. The cake itself is very moist and the walnuts give it slight smoky, nutty flavor. This would pair well with an espresso, cappuccino, or if you dare, Cabernet Sauvignon or Port. Thumbs up, way up!

Just tried their gluten free vanilla minis. Just like their other flavors… exceptional.

I haven’t had many rum cakes but the double chocolate expresso from this shop is the best I’ve ever had. The cake is very moist and the ganache is very creamy. The walnuts on the bottom really gives this one the perfect texture. You can taste the chocolate which is not overwhelmed by the very generous amount of rum. The proprietor told me there are no preservatives besides the rum, and there is a lot of it, which I like! The cake goes great with coffee or red tea. Would be great if they open a lounge in la jolla or someplace instead of just a kitchen where they ship the goods.

Our story begins 10 years ago. I was in Hawaii for a friend’s wedding. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the reason he had his wedding in Hawaii was to prevent random «friends» like me from showing up. I was clueless. So, I made my way to Hawaii to his wedding. The wedding was only 1 day, but I was stuck there for a whole week, staying at some moldy youth hostel. So, one day, while schlepping around the island, trying to figure out how to kill some time, I walked into some random convenience store and ordered some spam and rice. And in the refrigerated counter area, they had some rum cake, Saran wrapped, sitting on a little styrofoam tray. I decided I would give it a try, and bought the little package, and then went back to the youth hostel. That night, I had a bite, and it was a like a FLAVOR EXPLOSION in my mouth. (Somebody should use that in a commercial. Maybe for a fruity soft drink? «Spinnaker Soda… it’s like a flavor explosion in your mouth!») I knew I needed to have more. Unfortunately, I had no flippin’ clue where that little convenience store was — it was just some random, dusty, little shop on some nameless road, in the middle of nowhere.
I have been searching for rum cake like that for 10 years now! 10 years!!! A whole decade of my life has gone by, and invariably I have been sorely disappointed by every dry, chalky, dusty rum cake that has made its way across my cynical palate.
But, you guessed it! There’s a happy ending to this story For now there is the Rum Cake Lounge! Amazing rum cake. And they sell online and ship anywhere. Anywhere, my friend. I could be in San Diego, I could be in NYC, I could be in Hawaii, attending yet another wedding, and still get that wonderful, wonderful, tasty rum cake.
Do it. It’s good.
By the way, they even have gluten-​free options!

Great rum cakes… I highly recommend them. I tried one last year before the holiday season and they have become my official gifts to relatives across the country. This will be my second season sending them out since the feedback was so good last year.
As for myself the only problem is trying all the flavors because I can’t get past the vanilla bean… but I also like the chocolate french roast because it goes well with my morning coffee and for dessert with vanilla gelato.
That’s all for now. Keep it up RCL!

This bakery was reccomendd to me by a friend. Since then I have tried a number of their cakes and they are awesome. Their website says «Best Rum cakes in the US» and they are probably right, I can’t imagine anything getting better than this.
They ship all over the country, great product plus great packaging, makes a perfect gift.

These cakes are absolutely amazing. So moist and delicious I would not hesitate to give them as gifts to anybody! I have to say the chocolate chip minis are my personal favorite. They are a perfect individual dessert, and the chocolate ganache center makes them to die for… :-)

Best Rum Cake I have ever had! Peanut Butter Chocolate my favorite.

I love the Vanilla Chantilly rum cake and the Chocolate Coffee Bean is a must for chocoholics. The Rum Cake Lounge has the freshest, most tender & delicious cakes you can imagine, perfect for parties as each cake serves eighteen. You can order online and either have it mailed to you as I did my first time, or pick it up directly. You won’t be sorry!

Delicious and fine quality ingredients. I ordered the White Chocolate and Raspberry Cake.
The rum is plentiful and gives a very nice taste/​kick to the cake.
They vacuum pack their cakes and ship anywhere. If you live is San Diego you can pick up your cake from the warehouse.
