Charly's Bakery

Stopped by Charles Bakery in Cape Town, and it had a lively, busy atmosphere when I arrived. Even with the rush, the staff were friendly and ready to assist, which made the experience feel smooth and pleasant. The cupcakes and cookies were the highlights — colourful, creative, and full of playful designs clearly aimed at kids. They’re fun to look at and make great treats for little ones or themed parties. Overall, a cheerful spot for picking up something lighthearted and sweet, especially if you’re after kid-friendly baked goods.

I recently ordered a wicked chocolate cake and two personalised wicked chocolate cupcakes online from Charly's. The online ordering process was much quicker and easier than I expected, and I got a prompt email response back. They also confirmed receipt of payment and collection time, so I was kept informed each step of the way. There is parking right next to the bakery and one of their lovely ladies carried the cake and cupcakes to the car for me. I won't hesitate to order online from them again!!

Charly’s Bakery went above and beyond with my order placed all the way from Dubai for my partner in Cape Town. I couldn’t be there in person, but they made the entire process effortless. The cake was absolute perfection – not only beautiful, but full of deliciousness – with the exact message I requested. A huge thank you to Alex, who personally arranged for the cake to be delivered to the restaurant in time for the birthday dinner. Fantastic company, incredible personal service – highly recommend!

I don’t usually write reviews, but this bakery left me no choice 😩 This is the kind of bakery where you go, ‘Wow, I’ll just get one thing,’ but then you hear yourself say, ‘And that one… oh and that too…’ pointing to things like Oprah handing out cars. And then, next thing you know, you’re eating a slice of hummingbird cake in your car like a raccoon 🦝 (Don’t believe me?…check out the pictures below for proof 🔍💀) The truth is…Absolutely everything here tastes like it was baked by someone who had a personal vendetta against blandness. Everything on offer is truly Mucking Afazing. Everyone who is a part of creating this phenomenal space? Beyond helpful and kind 💙 Honestly, this bakery is criminally good and I highly recommend you visit. Just don’t blame me when you leave with half the shop 🤷🏽‍♀️

A cute bakery and a must place if you are in Cape Town. The cakes & cupcakes looks like different art pieces placed in a chilled glass. It was a treat for both eyes & our tummy. Its better not to bring in the kids(especially the ones who have sweet little tooth) or be ready to empty your pockets ;-)

So happy with my wedding cake. Taste was amazing! Service was amazing! Thank you Charly's Bakery! The cake was beautiful and honestly the best decision I made.

I placed an order 2 days before and was pretty sure it was too short notice.. however I got a confirmation quit quickly that it was possible ! This was incredible and the communication was very easy! They did an amazing job on the custom cake, we chose the vanilla pound cake with buttercream icing and it was very delicious to say the least. The cake was very soft and not heavy at all. However the icing was a little bit sweet for us but it didn't take away the enjoyment of the cake. They decorated the cake exactly how we described it and arranging collection was smooth as well. Overall I had a pleasant experience ordering and communicating with Charly's Bakery! Definetly will order a cake again.

For a slice of cake is way to expensive (R50-R100) . ... I had a pie that was warmed up like 3 times and it was still cold so I ate it as is with silence. Cake is not to dry and not to stiff but also not that much of taste. Place looks absolute stunning, just the food/dessert that is the problem. Staff were kind but not professional with their communication and were abit rude when you tell them that the food is not cooked right.
