SusieCakes - Menlo Park

I usually order a dutch apple pie from Marie Callender's for Thanksgiving but the past 3 years have not been good. I'm not sure what happened to their pies. I've had cakes from SusieCakes before and, in all honesty, they're too sweet for me. But I wanted to give their apple pie a try. Very Very glad I did. Pick up was scheduled and easy the day before Thanksgiving. I came at noon and it was quick. I also ordered their 4 pack of thanksgiving cupcakes. Dutch Apple Pie - 5/5 . Wasn't too sweet. Balanced textures. I had the pie for the next 3 days and each piece was still delicious. I highly recommend. Cupcakes - 4/5. Red Velvet, Chocolate, and Vanilla. The cakes were super moist even after 3 days! The frosting was too sweet for the 4 of us. I think that's why I've felt the cakes were too sweet.

I think they have the best red velvet cake ever! I like how the cheesecake frosting isn't too overly sweet or thick. I ordered an 8" birthday cake & it was delicious. Will definitely make the trip here whenever there's a request for red velvet but open to trying other cake flavors. I also tried their lemon cupcake which was so yummy Staff is super friendly & welcoming. Love the decor & it's super clean!

I was at work thinking about one of their delicious cupcakes! So before my pedicure appointment I stop in ! I ordered 6 cupcakes and then 1 on the side to stuff in my face immediately! The nice lady rang me up and i handed her cash and said she oh I'm really sorry but we don't take cash! I completely understand but was devastated! lol she boxed up the cupcakes as I was seeing if I had a card! I she handed me the box plus 1 and said here don't worry about it!! I was so shocked and was saying no it's completely ok I'll come back!!! She would not let me leave without the cupcakes!!! I was so taken aback by how generous she was being!! I didn't feel right leaving with 7 cupcakes! She insisted that I do! As I was walking out I turned to tell her that it was actually my birthday and she had just made my day!! She wished me a happy birthday and said have a great day! I walked out with such a grateful heart! And a satisfied spirit because I ate my cupcake in 2 bites and it was so delicious!This kind of thing doesn't happen often! I want to say thank you so much! After my pedicure I went to dinner with my family and shared the cupcakes and the experience!!She said she was the manager but I was so stunned I didn't ask her name!!! Thank you for your kindness and amazing service!! I'll definitely be back and share my story with all my friends!

I feel like I'm totally missing something. I've been here on several occasions and have always been disappointed. The staff members are extremely friendly and the service is always fast, but I really do not like the flavor of the desserts and find them to be super dry. I've mainly tried cupcakes and cookies from here, so maybe I need to try different menu items.There is plenty of parking behind the store and in the surrounding area in the public lots.

I was here when they had their buy 1 cupcake get 1 free deal. I got the mocha, red velvet, lemonade, and vanilla. The cakes were a bit dry for my liking. I really liked the cream cheese frosting as it had a strong cream cheese flavor. I gave the mocha away to a friend and they liked it. Overall, it wasn't the best cupcake I have had but still a good place nonetheless. The service was great as the workers were very attentive and friendly to customers as they were walking in. The place was nicely decorated and clean.

We are a susiecakes family. Sometimes I stop by just to grab a chocolate chip cookie for lunch. The slight saltiness is my favorite. But now is the time of year for their chocolate peppermint cake. IT IS THE BEEESSSSST. If you like candy canes and chocolate this is for you. Don't mind the inscription for my 6 year old son's cake. It was actually doordash's fault. Lol. He loves the cake so much he didn't care!

Update to my review from five years ago: I came in today while in the neighborhood because I just had this sudden onset of The Need for Buttercream. I ordered four cupcakes: peanut butter, chocolate vanilla, vanilla, and blueberry pancake. It was about $20 for four cupcakes (very reasonably priced) and the service today was great! A friendly woman greeted me on arrival and tried her hardest to ensure I'd get rewards points (I gave up in the end; the app wasn't downloading for me). My box was packaged neatly and without a speck of frosting on any of the dividers (don't know how they did it). I ate the vanilla cupcake on a bench outside because TNFB is real. It was delicious! The cake was moist and the layer of buttercream paired perfectly. Thanks SusieCakes - I will be back.

We got the confetti one. Unfortunately dry and very sweet; even the kids left more than half in their plates. It was the same day cutting. This has happened twice, so I guess it just their style.Gave one positive star as it looked good. 7" cake is an also a lot of cake as it's tall.

Old fashioned chocolate cake was great! Moist, classic.Red Velvet - no buttermilk flavor, or even cocoa flavor. Is it red dyed vanilla?! Huge DISAPPOINTMENT.Lemon cupcake - not enough lemon flavor. Coconut - great coconut flavor throughout
