- “
knew that everything needed to be special and since dessert is his favorite meal, the cake was especially important. ”
- “
And the berry blossom cake is our absolute favorite. ”
- “
The berry cake was fresh and delicious, does not even compare to Sweet Mary Jane (dry and more expensive). ”
- “
If you like fruit-based desserts and pies, this place is perhaps worth a try, but I can't agree with the 9.8 rating, or the rave reviews. ”
- “
The only thing we regret is not taking a big chunk of the wedding cake with us after the wedding! ”
- “
Now this is maddening, I go to a place because I hear they serve great desserts and that it is a must try. ”
- “
Service was a little slow, when I arrived the cake was not ready yet. ”
- “
The quality of their desserts is simply unbeatable, and our cake alone (much less the fresh fruit tartlets and handmade Italian cookies) left our guests speechless. ”
- “
Its a huge slice (probably a 4 layer cake) with white chocolate frosting inbetween layers of vanilla cake with all types of berries and bits of white chocolate. ”
- “
NOt only do they ahve the msot delectable offerings, but they are open til 10pm some nights--so convenient for picking up that birthday cake AFTER dinner to take to the party later. ”

Susina made the most amazing wedding cake we could have imagined! ”

We'd used Sugarplum for a catered event about a month earlier too (trays of cookies, fresh fruit and mini-tarts), and everthing was perfect. ”

Best cake ever, awesome customer service, I will recommend this place to everyone who needs delectible treats. ”

Susina's (and Jenna - the cake expert) was amazing. ”

My boyfriend and I LOVE dessert, and the first time we went to Susina, we ended up ordering a chocolate molten cake, a slice of strawberry shortcake, and another slice of cake--and ate them all instead of dinner! ”
- “
Susina (as the bakery is now named) is a wonderful spot to enjoy delicious cakes and pastries. ”
- “
Guest after guest at the wedding came up to us and asked us where we got the cake calling it the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. ”
- “
also asked for cookies now - this is where I am most intrigued if this is a normal practice for them -- I tell you the size and say I would like an assortment and then you counter people decide what that entails -- What if I was allergic to nuts or hate ”
- “
like being able to read there with a big slice of cake and good, hot coffee. ”
- “
The banana cream pie, fruit bowls, Quiches tarts are all fabulous! ”
- “
Wonderful scones (especially the chocolate cherry) and perfectly prepared quiche pair nicely with the freshly roasted coffee (superior to the Starbucks next door) and impeccable, friendly service. ”

The menu has expanded, so even though you can still get amazing European cakes and pastries, they now serve more American desserts as well. ”

If you love dense, moist cakes, and creamy sugary frostings - this is not the place. ”

Their chocolate cake and yellow cake w/berries are still heavenly! ”

We can't remember how many times that night we were told that it was the best wedding cake our guests had ever tasted. ”

When I called in my order they were so nice on the phone, they knew where they were located (an anomally in LA), and even more friendly when I picked up my yummy birthday cake. ”
- “
have been here 4 or 5 times now and each time, the triple berry cake is pretty good (i say comparable to or a bit better than sweet lady jane's). ”
- “
With so much other stress involved in event planning, working with Susina's gives you confidence the dessert will be a huge success. ”
- “
Get there early for the fresh croissants and scones- try the ras-polenta or the chocolate cherry scones that nobody else in town makes. ”
- “
Want a great spot for coffee, salad and then a killer cake? ”

good berry cake ”
- “
It was a very good chocolate cake but not worth $35 [ plus a drive from the valley specifically to buy it ”

Too bad I was concerned more about my bad experience than how the cake tasted. ”

Yummy creations of all kinds can be found here, from chocolate covered stawberries to cake to a savory lunch. ”

The cakes and tarts are creative and FRESH. ”

rich banana cream filling is loaded onto a perfectly baked crust and topped with a healthy portion of whipped cream plus chocolate shavings! ”
