    The cakes not only look wonderful, they taste great! These are top-of-the-line cakes made with pride. They are pricey, but as with all things, you get what you pay for. When I placed the order I was able to customize the cake decoration and the result was a "wow" when I brought it to the table.

    Tried the chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, I feel the frosting was too sweet for me, but the cake was fresh and delicious. Overall good experience when craving for something really sweet

    Wow! What a find this place is - great cupcakes and cookies! Perfect portions too! Not sure which too choose? Bite size available. The regular cupcakes are a perfect size too - very satiated without over indulging. Great selection of flavors. Cookies - 👍👍 Excited to return! Staff is great too! Helpful and friendly.

    Been eating baked goods here since last July 2021 and it’s now January 2022. Ordered a few custom cakes and many cupcakes and cookies. Consistency in deliciousness and customer service. Unfortunately the lines can be long sometimes but that’s not a bad thing obviously. They are long because they are a great bakery, not because they are slow at service. Whether one has to buy at Cake Box due to food allergies, celiacs or other reasons, I would buy here anyway.

    Great variety of daily cupcakes, made to order custom cakes including gluten-free options. 💯🔥

    This place has amazing cupcakes, cookies, tea cakes & monkey bread. I've never had the cakes but they look so delicious and if they are anywhere near as good as the other items they sell, well, good luck with keeping your weight down. I found this little gem because I was looking for a gluten free bakery for treats for my kids who are both Celiacs and one of them is also dairy free (he calls it 'fun free' & 'taste free'...obviously unhappy with the choices he has). It's been challenging to say the least but the Cake Box has a division that caters to the GF/DF/Vegan community and that makes this Mom very happy as well as the kids, who by the way are both college age (1 graduated this yr). The choices are abundant but call ahead because they are very popular. My kids love the Monkey Bread, Oatmeal Raisin & Chocolate Chip cookies as well as the amazing flavors & varieties of cupcakes. Rest assured non-GF/DF/Vegan people (such as myself) they have plenty of yummy treats for us as well. One of my favorites just happens to be GF is the Ricotta Tea Cakes. OMG...I could live on those. Keep up the great work "CAKE BOX" we love you! Thanks for 'treating' the other group of dessert lovers too.

    Do not listen to Google. They do not have gluten-free breads or pastries. They do have gluten-free cupcakes and cakes, which all looked delicious.

    They have a great selection but their website is frustrating at best. The header is in the way, the gluten free selections are not included or labeled consistently, and full descriptions of the products are not accessible (when you click on a product to see more information, it adds it to the cart without redirecting to a more informative product page) and as someone with an unusual food intolerance this is EXTREMELY concerning. Of course, all those issues only became apparent when i changed devices to a laptop, as the website is not at all optimized for tablet or mobile use. For a bakery that has marketed itself as catering to dietary needs such as allergies, gluten free, and vegan, you'd think they'd make it easier to actually ORDER the baked goods!

    Ordered about a dozen of a variety of their vegan cupcakes for my wife's birthday, and wow. They were a huge hit. Thank you for offering vegan options, Cake Box!!!!

    Every cake I’ve had has been amazing! And the fact that they can be gf and dairy free and taste like the real deal is a game changer. No more denying yourself a sweet treat because your stomach says you can’t. Ordered the double chocolate and the black and white. Going to try their carrot cake next. 🤤

    My wife and I truly did not know wedding cake could be this good! For starters, the Cake Box was extremely easy to work throughout the entire process. Since we do not live so close to the shop, we were not able to taste the cake beforehand but we put our trust in the team. We specifically worked with Robert, who helped us go over our options and select the perfect size cakes for our guests and for our custom wedding cake. He was a pleasure to work with. Our custom wedding cake was absolutely stunning, covered in gold leaf and cranberries. All of our guests couldn't believe it was real cake. it was delicious too! Our guests' cake had the most decadent chocolate ganache with a raspberry filling. The only regret is we didn't order extra! Delivery on the day of the wedding was on time and the price was more than reasonable. You should definitely work with the Cake Box for your next event.

    From gluten free cupcakes, cakes and cookies this bakery nails it! They have an art of baked goods. Very friendly, professional and personable. They go above and beyond to make sure your experience is the best. My family is mostly gluten-free and I have to say that it’s great to find a bakery that have great products. This is not an easy task. We have had a variety of cupcakes which were out of this world. You pay for quality products and I find their prices reasonable. The decorations is a craft as you can see from this vanilla cake. Delicious!!!!

    My foodie sister and her husband thought that the What's Up Doc cake was amazing ... ditto from the band (who asked for seconds!) and the rest of our party. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Randolph B. 1 year ago on Google
    For our wedding, we wanted choices - so we opted for three cakes from Cake Box - carrot, chocolate with chocolate ganache, and vanilla with salt caramel. The best tribute I can give is that although we ordered about twice what we thought we would need (so no one's choice would run out), in the end we had no leftovers. First time I have been to a wedding where the cake(s) proved to be so good people wanted to have some of each one.

    Gluten Free and DELICIOUS! Our son has had a gluten allergy since birth so believe me when I say we have tried all treats out there, nothing compares. Cake Box is so good, and most of their stuff is way better than their non-gluten free counterparts. We are in here at least once a month. Recommendations: Choc chip cookie dough, MOON PIE (if you're lucky enough to be there when they have it), and brownies

    I ordered a vegan, gluten free, nut free cake from them for my wedding. The chocolate cake with chocolate icing. It was delicious and all my guests with food restrictions were so pleased! This is a nut free facility. They said it’s not a gluten free facility but they are very careful to prevent cross contamination. Some of my guests are quite sensitive to gluten and they didn’t have any problems.

👍👍 My girlfriend and I have eaten here for breakfast many times over the last 5 years, their gluten free pancakes and waffles are the BEST. They have great lattes too! We’ve never had a bad experience and the owner is always there making sure everyone is enjoying their meals. Highly recommend.
