The Scene
Zillions stream in and out, snatching up cakes for every occasion. The tiny dining area is done up like a little old lady's tearoom, complete with pink flowery china and doilies.
The Food
It's not easy to score a sugar fix in Los Angeles, where everything is sugar-free and fat-free. With more than 70 layer cakes, cheesecakes, pies and tarts from which to choose, this is the place to indulge in the most sinful sweets. The raspberry-marzipan tart flaunts dense almond paste smothered by ruby raspberry glaze. The cheesecakes are luscious--the cappuccino, spiked with chocolate, is rich, while the hazelnut is feather-light. But what really sets this bakery apart is the kitchen's artistry--the frosting is glassy smooth and piping is always perfect.

I've made the mistake of coming here a couple of times, and each time I was appaled by the rudeness of the staff. Not so sweet, this lady Jane. They lack most common courtesy. I will NEVER come here again.

Its a shame that service is below any standards. Very rude. More then once. Won't go back.

I just went there this morning to get a cake for a birthday party. I forgot to order in advance, but they had an awesome looking cake (it was chocolate with fudge and espresso). A girl named Debbie helped me. She was so helpful and cute and really knew all the kinds of cakes. At the party, every one freaked out over the cake. It was the best chocolate cake I've ever had. Thanks, Debbie!

When to Go:
Even sugar fanatics need some real food once in a while, so Sweet Lady Jane dishes out soups, salads and sandwiches from 11:30am to 2:30pm.
Know Before You Go:
There are only a half-dozen tables, so when it's crowded there's a 45-minute limit and a $5 minimum per person.
