The Most Amazing Wedding Cake!!
by oliveoyl17_2000
Jamaica made my wedding cake. The cake tasting was a great experience. She was so pleasant and wonderful. The cake was absolutely the best!! I wish i could upload the picture. Not only was my wedding cake beautiful but the taste matched the presence. I had a five layer cake and EVERY piece was gone!! The price was very reasonable. Even though my friend paid for my cake as a present, if i did pay for the cake it would have still fit perfectly in my budget. All I can say is AMAZING!
- Pros: Wedding Cakes and Service!

Caramel Bread Pudding = Love
by lulu3212
I lived right across the way from Jamaica's for over a year before finally deciding to check it out. I couldn't believe I had been missing out on the caramel bread pudding and red velvet cupcakes that entire time! I was thoroughly impressed by the menu that they offer which includes vegan peanut buttercups (bought one for a friend and she LOVED it) and other goodies for people with food allergies or those that have vegan lifestyles. Super friendly staff. I recommend the caramel bread pudding, pecan or apple streusel bars, and any of the cupcakes (especially the red velvet or black-bottomed).
- Pros: caramel bread pudding, friendly staff
- Cons: depending on when you go parking can be hard to come by due to San Fran Saloon customers
