Cake Wala

Visited this place multiple times for chaat items hoping this time it may be better. But every time it's a disappointment. Took home Bhel puri and Samosa Chaat. More than the Bhel or Samosa, they are Chickpeas chaats. I don't understand their infatuation with chickpeas so much, may be to show the quantity. Bhel puri has no Bhel in it, but is full of chickpeas and green chutney. Never seen Bhel puri being green in color in any part of India. Look at the picture and see for yourself if you can see puffed rice in it, We could hardly count puffed rice in it. Total disappointment.

Cake Wala is a small bakery that specializes in cakes and traditional Indian cuisine. The highlight of my first trip was the Masala Chai Tea. It's the most authentic in Howard County. Food: On a cool morning, the unique blend of spices awakens my tastebuds with a buttery smooth finish. This version of Chai Tea was an enlightening experience for me. I've never had anything like it before, so once you try this version there's no going back.The cakes here are beautiful! You can enjoy a single-serving sponge cake with whipped cream filling topped with your choice of rose, black forest cake, pineapple, pistachio, and mango gel. The cake is airy and moist, there's a hint of vanilla in the whipped cream and that mango gel is perfection, I can see my face in the reflection. Service: Super friendly. I didn't recognize most of the items on the menu so I made my decision based on the cashier's recommendation. Ambiance: Inside there is no seating, just the display cases and an area for utensils. They have seating outside, but only two people can sit at each table. Most people take their orders to go. Overall: The Best Masala Chai Tea!Perfect way to surprise a friend, coworker, or family member with a slice of cake. Affordable Friendly service Grab and Go!

This was a little treasure that I happened to find randomly. It gives the neighborhood bakery vibe in any Indian town and if you're an 90s kid, you would totally relate. We got the chocolate and butterscotch pastry, and the cream roll and those were delicious. So fresh and not overly sweet. We also got the chicken puff that was slightly bland, but their Frankie was sooo good! Will definitely be going again!

Cake Wala can be described in two words: excellent choice!Parking was easy enough to find in this lot, but be warned that it's very busy! The line to place an order for Cake Wala was out the door, but we were able to place our order within 10 minutes and receive our food within 15 minutes!There is no seating inside, only tables outside. Bundle up if you plan on sitting outside during a wind day, like my friends and I ended up doing! I came to Cake Wala with friends initially for chaat, but ended up ordering cake slices as well. For chaat, we ordered samosa chaat, bhel puri, vada pav (not pictured), and gol gappa. My favorites were the vada pav and bhel puri because both were flavorful and really fresh. The gol gappa did not quite satisfy our craving because something was missing. The samosa chaat was great, but dredged in chutney and it became difficult to take in the entire dish. The cake slices were the real stars of the show, namely the falooda and rasmalai cake slices. These slices were not overly sweet and the true essence of falooda and rasmalai was captured perfectly in this slice. The black forest and tiramisu fell flat because the cake itself was not very moist and the icing was a bit hard. Thanks Cake Wala for a great Sunday afternoon turned evening! I'm sure we'll be back for more chaat and cake soon - looking forward to trying new flavors!

I stopped in this past weekend since I was dropping my daughter at the Pottery place next door. I got the pani puri and it was pretty good, however the service was not so great. The guy at the counter came off as standoffish and seemed like he didn't want to be there.Since there was a $10 cc minimum, I decided to grab a couple of cupcakes as well. The chocolate was okay, but the strawberry frosting didn't really taste like strawberry. If I'm not mistaken it tasted mostly like shortening.I'm not sure I'd make any special effort to return unless they improve their customer service.

Amazing desserts! Service was quick as well. And I really liked the scenery within there.

Good food love the cake and the chai so good must try is the cookies which is house made and tastes soooooooooo gooood

Small shop with cake and chaat offering. We tried cake with was ok but chaat was good

Pastry cake slices are light and fluffy very tasty. We have also ordered samosas for gatherings, large size samosas with yummy potato/pea filling. Prompt service.

They should call it dhokawala(betrayal) instead of cakewala.. They ruined my son's first birthday. I ordered a customized cake 6 days before the birthday and one day before the party they text us and cancelled it. And we can't get customized cake in just one day. So the result is my son's first birthday got ruined because of them.
