Bravo! Café and Bakery

SERVICE: Sent an email for a custom order heart cake on Wednesday 2/12/25 for a pick-up of Saturday 2/15/25. I used the cake ordering form on their website as a reference for what information they needed for the cake order: size, flavor, name, email, telephone#, pick-up date, pick-up time. I included reference photos for what style I wanted it to look like. They called me back in about an hour to tell me which of the reference photos they could replicate and quoted me a price of $90 for a 10-inch custom order purple heart cake.FOOD: I requested that they make a 10-inch purple and lavender-colored heart-shaped cake. I sent a couple of reference photos. They were able to make a close replica of one of my reference photos and matched the exact colors that I wanted. They did the lettering on top of the cake at the time of pick-up.The quality of the strawberry fruit cake was amazing! The flavor was subtle and the cake was soft, spongy. There was real fruit inside of the cake, but it was not strawberry, so I was a bit let down by that. I also wish the heart shape was a bit more pronounced. But overall, the cake was enjoyed by me and my guests at my birthday party. Got compliments for it on social media!

So I first discovered this small little bakery/boba drink place over 10 yrs ago when I worked in the area and was introduced to their cream puffs Let me tell you that these are AMAZING!! Now I'm a big dessert snob and coming from a European nation I know my baked goods and Bravos Chioux pastry is spot on and the custard vanilla cream filling is to die for and best yet it's served ice cold so when it spills out it's perfect! Also they give u a lot of filing not like other places do.They are first come first served only Thurs- sat until sold out so you just take a chance. I haven't tried anything else here but I hear good things about their cakes and they look so beautiful that I need to order one for my next special occasion It's a small space they have a couple tables but it looks like the family is just sitting there or hanging out so I always order to go and cash is best as they charge a credit card fee Parking available on the street on Grand

Little gem in Saint Paul.We love ordering our Durian cakes from here. Flavor is great and presentation is fun with the fresh fruit that is added to the top. Few tips: - they are closed on Sundays, so check date and hours- place online order ahead at least 48 hours in avoid additional fee - have someone wait in the car so you can run in quick versus needing to find a parking spot (it's a somewhat busy corner)

I go here for all my cakes needs especially for birthday cake. Very nice customer service and if you want a cake they require that you order at least 48 hours in advance or else they will charged an additional fee if order within 48 hours. They don't open Sunday so if you need a cake for Sunday, you need to pick up by Saturday. I love that they have other flavor cakes besides just my favorite mango and it comes in different sizes, or you can get it by the slice at the display. They have a little mini dining area where you can sit to have coffee and cakes, but it's a bit outdated. The shop is on a busy street on grand so parking could be hard at time. Been here for many years and love their sweet treat and cakes

We get cakes from here often. They are good as long as the fruit they use are in season. We have been getting cake from here for over 10 years now. I am sure I can find a picture to post soon. The cake we get often is mango cake, decorated beautifully with many fruits such as kiwi, strawberry and mango. In between frosting has mango chunks in it. The base of the cake is very tasty, soft and airy. I believe it's called chiffon cake. They offer many flavors such as strawberry, matcha and taro as well but mango has stuck with us.

Came in for some baked goods and a refreshing boba tea. Only to discover lots of cakes in their display. Seems like this a cake shop that decided to start selling boba milk tea. It was a little confusing the way they offer the flavorings. You can only choose a flavor of milk tea that the milk is offered in. I know that also sounds confusing, but basically you can't add any flavor you want to any type of milk you desire. The taste was just ok, but I don't think I'll be back.

Oh, Bravo. I remember back when you first opened, a little Taiwanese bakery serving light, airy cakes stuffed full of fruit and a small menu of vegetarian dishes. The family running it are kind, sweet, and devoted to their little store. Since then, I believe the food is a thing of the past, but the cakes and baked goods live on. We have had cakes made for birthdays, catered for parties, sent for friends...every time, people are astounded by Bravo's delicious and un-saccharine take on cake, and utterly confused about how they've never heard of this place. If you don't believe me, go in for a slice and try it out. (And then order a full cake for your next event.) The mango is always my and my mother's favorite, but any fruit flavor will astound. The flavor profiles and textures are very East Asian, soft and fluffy, not too sweet, no overwhelming use of dairy or butter. The result is a cake that won't leave you feeling overly full or heavy, just refreshed and happy.

Bravo is my family's favorite!!! Whenever I'm in charge of getting a cake for birthdays, graduation parties, and whatever crazy event I'm invited to I almost ALWAYS ORDER from here! Both my parents (typically Asians af) do not have a sweet tooth and generally doesn't care for cakes but also love the cakes from here because they are not too sweet, little and airy made with fresh fruit.Usually I order online but one time my order didn't go through and the staff was willing to accommodate! I ordered a last minute full sheet cake for my brother's graduation and they were so nice to take my order. The owner said she was overbooked for a wedding but since she knows I always order and support their business, she would do my order by 2pm that day!Online ordering is super duper easy or you can call to place an order (I would recommend emailing if no answer after a couple of tries). With COVID, it does seem like they are asking for consumers to pay in advance but that's fine with me because it's so worth it! They also have tea, boba, cake by the slice and other sweets here!Parking as be a little of a pain and I find myself circling at times but it's totally worth it.

Mmmm what can I say..?? I didn't have a great experience at all.- Bakery shop it's too old, the decoration it's totally weird and it doesn't tell me anything. - Cake: We Gad the Mango Cake, it looks good BUT mmm I was very sad, It was just ok. - Price: I think it's too expense for the experience.So I won't go back, it is sad because it has a great location, but I'm sure people are not going back anymore. You guys need to change A LOT of things there specially because you have a BIG competition which is Cafe Latte. Bye bye bye.

We ordered a cake for a graduation celebration from here. I'm not usually a fan of cake because of how dry they can be and the icing is usually overly sweet. However, the cake from Bravo was unlike any cake I've ever had. First off, it was beautifully decorated with the fruit on top and then the icing wasn't too sweet at all. The cake was so moist and fluffy with more fruit inside. The bakery isn't huge but it's a hidden gem. People seem to love their cream puffs too. Overall, I'm surprised how much I liked the cake from here. It was delicious!
