Doan's Bakery

Came from Australia to try the famous cruise cake. Had to be done. We got the cupcake version of the coconut cake which was unreal arguably better than the Original. We of course then got an 8 inch Bundt cake to go and sat in and ate a mini Bundt cake. All unreal and very worth the trip. The staff were also so lovely, I didn’t get the young girls name behind the counter but she was so willing for a chat and answer all our questions about the famous bakery and the baker came out and said hello. What a lovely team and lovely baked goods if we were staying longer we would have loved to try more so we’ll just have to come back! Thanks again :)

I've been wanting to try the famous white chocolate coconut bundt cake made famous for being the "Tom Cruise cake." Cake is very decadent and rich. Love the loads of coconut flakes. However, it's a bit sweet for my liking. In addition to the coconut cake, I also got carrot bundt cake and dark chocolate. Both were very rich and sweet. My preference when it comes to sweets or desserts would be on the lighter fluffy side versus dense cake with a lot of frosting. I can see why the white chocolate coconut cake is a favorite amongst many.

A co-worker brought in the world famous Tom Cruise cake and lemme tell ya, it’s worth every penny! Tbh, it’s a Death Row dessert, which is convenient since the bakery is located in California.

I just wonder when the last time someone actually taste tested this cake at the bakery? Goldbelly is huffing glue to sell this cake. The separation of whatever is in the batter is gross. The cake is dry and the coconut, who cares its not like the bakery made the coconut lol. The frosting is very rich to the point of it being nauseating after a couple of bites. Should have looked at the reviews first. How the heck does one end up being sold by Gold Belly with this few of reviews! Please don’t say to each their own because this is like not good enough to serve to anyone you like let alone $129 lol, $129! What a crock! I have had cakes from bakeries everywhere and this is no better than a Merritt's cake in Tulsa once they went to a central bakery, yes in 1984 they were good, not so much in 2024. Tom Cruises assistant ordering this is the myth, no way that man eats this cake. Taste your damn cake after its been shipped and tell me Im wrong!

The wife wanted to try the famous Tom Cruise White Chocolate Coconut Cake. I read reviews that it was dry but it was not the case at all. It was very moist and not dry at all. Loved the white chocolate all around the cake. We also got recommended the strawberry shortcake. It wasn't dry at all as well. I'm not sure where the other reviewers are getting that their cakes here are dry but it was not our experience.

First time customer, ordered iced coffee and muffin. The coffee tasted awful, and the muffin…at first I was a bit annoyed at the price for how small it was…but it was DELICIOUS. I got the pumpkin pineapple raisin and it might be the best muffin I’ve ever had.

I ordered their famous Coconut cake via Goldbelly to be delivered 9/5/24 for a birthday and spent $126 dollars. I ordered it more than a week in advanced. They missed the 9/5 delivery which sucked for our party. We received it 9/6, packages nicely, semi melted but the BIG disappointment was the cake was so dry & did not have much flavor. I was very hyped about trying this cake and for the price it was such a let down. But willing to visit the bakery next time in California around the area.

Ordered a While chocolate coconut bundt cake via goldbelly. Wow overnight shipping was great and arrived on time via ups. I let it sit out for 90 minutes and then tried it. It is absolutely delicious. Very moist and a very rich frosting. Definitely worth the hype. To the people saying it's too sweet, ofcourse it is because it's a white chocolate coconut bundt cake! This cake is supposed to be very sweet and rich. Additional photos on my profile page and videos on my YouTube page

I popped in to try the cake everyone seems to talk about. Which I got. However, let me tell you about the lemon cake!!!! I got two lemon cupcakes, a week ago, and they are all I can think about! They were so good. Crumb to frosting ratio was perfect for me, flavor was strong and balanced. The parking is street metered parking. Inside has two two tops. They also serve up coffee and smiles!!! The coffee was good :) The staff was super sweet! They cut my slice for me from the famous cake, and when a passerby came by and wanted to sample it, we struck up a convo and I invited him to have a bite. The staff then sliced the cake shown. Get the lemon cake! Its phenomenal!!!

Of course, I came by for the famous Tom Cruise Christmas Cake, better known as the White Chocolate Coocnut Cake. Service was fantastic. I picked up my cake 2 days before Christmas and as busy as they were, all three girls working the counter were smiling, being friendly, and moving fast to get orders out! I ordered the medium sized cake which is $40. It's a great size and they say it can feed 4-6 people, I really think you can feed 8-10. The cake itself is moist, soft, and mild flavored. I think that's where the overall cake can improve. The white chocolate frosting is SO sweet. It's pretty overpowering and rich. The coconut flakes on the outside add some contrast in flavor and texture, and there are some crunchy bits inside the cake that I can't quite pinpoint as to what they are. So the cake as a whole isn't bad at all, it's just way too sweet and rich and really, nothing special. Sure, if I get a cake directly from Tom Cruise, it's going to be the best cake I ever ate. But at face value, it's a simple cake. I've had worse, and I've had better.

Going for manicure around 3 miles away and taking advantage to make a stop at Doans Bakery, which apparently was said offering Tom Cruise's 'annual Christmas gift'. The cute bakery literally reminded me of typical long-standing one, with simple design that probably has stayed for years. Only 2 sets of tables available with most people only came for 'TO-GO's. I came just right past noon and had quite limited options but still saw some of their signature Tom Cruise cake available. It was moist sponge cake topped with super generous cream cheese frosting with chunks of white chocolate and shredded coconut. Priced at $9, I would say it's pretty big and rich that some people might consider sharing for 2. I'm a sweet tooth and for me I finished one myself but surely felt pretty sugar-high after. Despite some people complaining it being dry, the mini version I got didn't seem to be the case at all. I thought it worth the hype; the sponge cake could be just okay, but the cream cheese with abundant white chocolate was surely the creme de la creme. I wished I was on Tom Cruise's annual Christmas gift list!

I recently learned that this is where the popular Tom Cruise white chocolate coconut cake was from so curiosity got the best of me and I ordered one. It's lovely- not a huge coconut fan but this is pretty tasty and it has a cream cheese based frosting that's not overpowering.

It's not easy having a child's bday between Christmas and New Years. That said, Doan's makes ordering a cake for her special day super easy! We've only ever gotten Bday cakes from Doans as well as other special occasions for this reason. Much gratitude to Doans for being awesome.

So we've been hearing about this infamous White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake for a while now. We were wondering if it would be risky business to get or if it was indeed a top gun dessert. Since we live so far and away it was nearly mission impossible to get since they close at 2pm everyday. But one lucky Saturday we made all the right moves and were able to get one. With our eyes wide shut we dove right in and it was super decadent for sure. Let's just say you better like coconut because this cake was no ordinary vanilla sky. The cake was firm and the cream cheese frosting was something to write to your mummy about. However, I might be in the minority report when I say it was too sweet, but of course it was saved when paired with some strong black coffee. We got the large cake and it was very very large and we shared it with a few good men. The whole staff, from the person who took my phone order to the ladies in the shop, were wonderful and didn't make me feel like an outsider. Anyway, to sum it up, the cake was indeed a legend and well worth the color of money.

4++ OK so full disclosure, this review is just essentially for the cake and the process of ordering through Gold Belly. This place is actually close enough to my buddy's house, which I visit pretty often so I'll be hoping to visit the actual location sometime soon. That said I really can't comment on the ambiance here. So we ordered a White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake for my dad for Father's Day. We were pretty excited since this was the famous cake that is being talked about a lot. I must say - the cake is pretty great. I love the flavors since I'm a big fan of coconut and the texture was great as well. And to me, I don't think this cake was overly sweet. The package came promptly and it was really nicely done as well. The cake was imperfect condition and it was kept cool with dry ice. The cake does feel a little pricey, but it's a pretty large cake and it serves a lot of people. And I was just shopping today for another cake for a friend's birthday and honestly cakes are just pricey at the moment, especially the quality ones. So, hopefully next time I'm visiting my good friend in Encino I'm gonna make that extra bit of trip just to come out here and grab a few items here. Possibly I get to try some other items available as well.

"Tom cruise came review" I got two mini Bundt cakes. $8 each. Pros - cake is decent size. Definitely enough as a dessert for one person. - I have quite a strong sweet tooth. I'd say the decadence and sweetness of this cake is similar to a Cinnabon or your average cheesecake. You have more than 1 and it's a sugar overload. This falls in the same category. - I read a lot of reviews saying the cake was dry. Idk if it has to do with it maybe being delivered or it being a whole cake but the mini ones I got were super moist. Bomb! Cons - none. I'd go back for sure. Overall 9/10

Shout out to lovely Yelper @TerriC - her review and instagram post led to my discovery of their famous Tom Cruise cake! I just had to secure one for an upcoming work party and it was a huge hit! Tom Cruise gifts their White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cakes to all his Hollywood friends every holiday season and I can see why! I read a lot of stories saying these cakes sell out so I called two days ahead of time to make sure they'd have cakes available (it's an hour drive one way in traffic). The staff I spoke to on the phone (a young lady) was so helpful....she explained the sizes and assured me they'd have one waiting for me. They have 3 sizes for this particular Bundt cake - mini (personal), medium (serves 8-10), and large (serves 12-14). I ended up getting a large and it served our party of 11 very generously and still had leftovers. It was delicious and everyone loved it! The cake was soft and moist with white chocolate chunks, a smooth creamy icing and lots of coconut - rich and heavenly! When I arrived to pick up my cake, the young lady at the counter was very sweet and so helpful. I also ended up getting one of their Cloud 9 cookies, a pineapple muffin, and a lemon blueberry muffin at her recommendation and they were all excellent. The Cloud 9 cookie is like an "everything" cookie - has tons of stuff in it and lovely! But for me, the muffins stole the show - they were absolutely fantastic!! Super moist and extremely flavorful - I'd drive all that way just for more of those! Prices are moderate here - the large Bundt cake was $55 - a tad pricey but was worth it. Inside is very clean with well stocked pastry cases and a couple of tables - but not many - it's mostly a to-go situation. Parking is all metered street parking - they have a parking lot off to the side but the spaces were all labeled for other businesses that I could see. I didn't have any trouble finding easy street parking though.

This bakery has very delicious treats. My favorite item is the lemon loaf. The staff is very friendly. Great baked goods and super service! I highly recommend this bakery.

Great people, outstanding product. Coconut cake was amazing. Iwss late for pickup and staff waited for me.

I came by Doans the day before Thanksgiving to pick up a pie for a Friendsgiving party the next day. I hadn't heard of Doans before, but I found it through a quick Yelp search and it seemed pretty popular, so I decided to give it a shot. It's a small storefront with no seating. I think there was one small table outside. There's a small parking lot in the back, otherwise you'll need to use metered street parking. I got here around 1 pm and they were sold out of all pies except their apple pie, so we got that. I asked and they typically have a good variety such as pumpkin, pecan, chocolate pecan, etc. One thing to note is that things aren't cheap here. We paid $55 for the apple pie which is by far the most expensive pie I've ever heard of. I can't help but wonder if pie prices were bumped up for Thanksgiving or whether this is the normal price. After chatting with the employee, we learned the bakery is famous because Tom Cruise orders coconut white chocolate cakes for his friends and acquaintances every year during the holiday season. They also sell a mini version of the cake for $8, so we decided to try it and see what the hype is all about. My family and I all found the coconut white chocolate cake too sweet. We couldn't eat more than a bite or two at a time, so even for such a small cake, it took us a while to finish it. Surprisingly, the coconut flavor didn't come through as strongly as I expected. It was more sweet than anything else. The apple pie was amazing though. Luckily it wasn't nearly as sweet as the cake and comes with a ton of delicious cinnamon apple filling. When you look at my photo of the cross section, you can see there's a lot of thin apple slices layered inside which I found pretty impressive. I'm glad I tried this place once, but I think I prefer my desserts less sweet.

This review is ONLY for the famous Tom Cruise Coconut Cake and I do realize you can't please everyone, but I'm totally NOT a fan. I'm not a professional baker, but I do bake a lot and "cake" is my favorite. With that said, "moist" is THE one feature I strive to achieve in each and every one of my cakes. I can't understand how anyone would like a DRY cake. I loved the story about the Tom Cruise cake, and I'm happy I tried it, but for $125 for a regular sized bundt cake, I was shocked it was NOT over the top delicious. I had posted on Facebook and friends were also excited to try, so since I just wanted one slice, I shared the other pieces in hopes to recoup some of the ridiculous price!! OK, so Tom Cruise endorses this cake, so I get the cost. Gotta make money when you can. I hoped to cut it into 12 pieces because everyone was willing to pay $10 per slice to try it, however, I was embarrassed that their slice would have been so tiny, so I cut it into 8 slices instead and ate the rest of the money. Also, IDK why, but I had to wait 2 months for this cake to be delivered. You're a bakery for heaven's sake, but I didn't question this. I've tried SAM'S CLUB's coconut cake which I thought was awful. Well, this is worse, IMO. Super dry AND tasteless. Both the cake AND frosting have no flavor. The frosting has SO MUCH sugar in it, you can actually taste the grit. My teeth hurt just thinking about it. Consensus of my friends (without me saying a word) started coming in and most of the 7 people were negative. One person said it was ok and managed to finish the slice in 3-4 attempts. Now, I'm honestly questioning the story itself about Tom sending this cake to his friends for the holidays, but guess we'll never REALLY know. On a positive note, Gold Belly did a wonderful job in shipping, but yes, the dry ice was no longer apparent once it arrived. I watched the delivery as soon as they said it was shipped and it did arrive the same day, that afternoon. To end, I'm happy I tried this. JUST TO SAY I DID. 4.6 Yelp stars for Doan's Bakery? I'm shocked. See photos, if you care.

It has been many years since I first found Doans bakery. I went there before Tom Cruise made them famous for their coconut cake. Success has definitely NOT spoiled their quality because they are still turning out delicious, perfectly baked sweet treats after all these years !!

That coconut cake!!! I had it at a party and now drive 30 minutes every few months to get it. I don't even think of myself as a coconut person! The staff is also super helpful too!

The baked goods are yummy but the customer service is a bit questionable. My first time visiting, so I asked a few questions about the baked goods and the snippy answers left me questioning, if I wanted to purchase anything. A simple answer would have made a world of difference but instead a snarky well that's the only thing with coconut on it when it obviously wasn't was off putting.

We went in to try the famous white chocolate cake but they do not serve slices of the cake only muffins & mini Bundt cakes. We took one of each along with a chocolate croissant & 2 coffees. The staff were amazingly attentive to detail and were all very lovely. The white chocolate muffin/bundt cake were really sweet and delicious but it wasn't anything mind blowing. The chocolate croissant had better flavor profiles in our opinion. The coffee was a pass as well. I would not recommend grabbing a coffee but the cake was good & if ever in the area again I would stop by but I wouldn't go out of my way to go.

Amazing. Nothing more to add. The Cruise Christmas cake was just out to this world. It's a good thing I live in Florida or else I would be going there every week. Even though it's 36 miles away from my family home in Southern California!!! Damn! So so good!

For a place probably known all over the world for their white chocolate coconut Bundt cake (famously gifted by an A-lis Hollywood star amongst his friends), the staff remained so nice and without air. There isn't a lot of outdoor seating, just a few seats outside by the sidewalk, but the idea is to have your celebrity cake to go and let your friends be awed that you also enjoy the finer cakes in life. As Kirsten Dunst would say, "let them eat cake! And let it be Doan's!"

Great cake! One of Woodland Hills' hidden gems. Try the Tom Cruise white chocolate coconut cake. It's awesome!

The Tom Cruise Coconut Cake is everything people say it is. I came here after seeing it on the season 3 premiere of Hacks. I got both the mini and cupcake versions. It was so yummy and moist. Will come back again to get a whole cake. Parked at a metered spot close by.

The white chocolate coconut cake is amazing! AKA The Tom Cruise Cake! The cake is moist, frosting is perfectly sweetened and the amount of coconut on the cake was perfect too! We have purchased this cake many times and it does not disappoint. Everyone loves it! The lemon bars are also delicious! The crust was perfect! We also enjoy supporting a small neighborhood business. Check their hours because they are limited.

I walked in without being greeted and I asked if they had gingerbread cookies and one of the girl said not yet and I just simply asked when do you think they'll be available and the other girl with the bright blue eyes said "When we feel like baking them" in a rude snobby tone. I just said thank you and left. Good way to scare customers off

I came to try the Tom Cruise cake recently on television and also their Yelp famous Apple Pie. The actual bakery reminded me of a 1960's vintage bakery, S I recollect growing up in the San Fernando Valley. The baker and staff are cute and kind which is a nice way of doing business. Although I was only able to get the coconut Bundt cake, but was able to score their delicious apple pie!

Amazing!! Ordered a Birthday cake and it was beautiful and SO delicious!! Am definitely going back soon! Thank you!!

Another beautiful and amazing cake. I highly recommend the chocolate muffin cake. It is the most delicious cake I've ever had, and decorations are perfect.

I've been hearing about the TC coconut cake for so long, finally got one for Father's Day this year and it did not disappoint! In general, I'm actually not a fan of white chocolate nor coconut because of the texture, but I figured other people who would be eating it with us like it so I'll just have a little bite. Surprise surprise, I actually like the cake!!! Still not a big fan of the coconut but it's not bad with the ratio to the cake! And the white chocolate doesn't have that super intense cocoa butter flavor which is good. It is not cheap, but it is good also quite sweet so you don't eat much of it anyway :) I also got a brownie and lemon bar, both very good as well, I think they were $3.50 or $4 for a little 3x3 square each. As for parking, the tiny parking lot in the back was full, I don't even know if there's any spot for them or just the salon/massage next door actually. There's meter parking, not the easiest just like most places in Woodland Hills.

I will just add to the amazing reviews. The coconut cake here is unreal. No one else makes anything like it. I plan to bring some on the plane with me when I travel back to Virginia.

I've been wanting to come here for such a long time, ever since I found out that Tom Cruise orders cakes from here regularly. But it was never close to anywhere I was going too, or on the way to where I needed to be. So when I found out I was gonna be in Woodland Hills for the day I had to make sure I came here!! Now I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise's ideologies. But I can say without a doubt this man has taste!! He definitely knows his desserts!! And the coconut white chocalate (aka Tom Cruise cake) is pretty amazing!! There are evidently 3 different sizes of it. With the small or personal sized bundt cake. Being so sweet, though, you can easily split it among 2-4 people. Then they have a medium sized cake (in the display), as well as a large cake. The small bundle cakes are around 8 bucks give or take. Which is not bad since regular sized cupcakes are going for 5 plus these days. The flavors were amazing!! Lots of coconut shreds everywhere. The icing is extremely sweet and thick. The inside of the cake is soft and moist. Pieces of white chocolate nuggets throughout. It was really good. But the sweetness is definitely overbearing. Most definitely required some black coffee to go with it to temper the sweetness. It was so sweet my teeth were hurting afterwards!! I couldn't eat an entire bundt cake in one sitting. It was just so rich and decadent. Felt like I had to go run a marathon or work out really hard to not feel guilty from eating something so rich and decadent. It's off the main street. So easy to miss unless you know what your looking for. Cuz everyone's just flying by at high speeds. But there's plenty of street parking. They seem to get a lot of to go orders. As the only 2 small table here were covered in to go boxes to put these sweet offerings into. So you kinda gotta get your order and leave. People working the counter are really nice. Everyone saying hello to you and smiling. They also answer all your questions with a smile. Like they actually enjoy their jobs!! They allow you to reserve the cakes for pick up later that day. And you can even pay later when you do pick it up. Which is nice of them. Overall was it worth me driving 60 plus miles for it? Simply put. Yes

Doan's Bakery is mostly known for their white chocolate coconut cake that Tom Cruise sends out to the masses every December. Would love to try that one someday! I was looking for a birthday cake and ended up getting the lemon with raspberry swirl. There was only one other customer in there at the time so service was quick and easy. There were a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and treats ready to go but you can also order ahead. The cake was pretty good but not great. It seemed a little dry and we ended up scooping most of the icing off. Make sure to not leave it out for more than an hour ;) The cake was a little over $40 and is a great size for about 6-8 people. Overall, the cake looked very pretty (especially with some Harry Potter candles) and always happy to support a small local business!

The home of the best cake around - white chocolate coconut Bundt cake!!!! I was first introduced to this delicious creation by friends who lovingly called it "The Tom Cruise" cake. Even the owner of Doan's (an adorable mother son bakery) gives Tom Cruise all the credit for putting them on the map. This cake is so delightful that even my husband, who does not eat sweets, will only eat THIS cake. I drive 45 minutes each way to get it for his birthday every year. It's also my go-to cake when bringing dessert to events as well. The cake is even better than it sounds - a rich Bundt cake with white chocolate chips baked in, topped with just the right amount of cream cheese frosting, and then dusted with the perfect amount of sweet, heavenly shredded coconut. The owner will also tell you this, but it's best when you leave it out of the fridge for 30-45 minutes before serving. Doan's also delivers nationwide through Goldbelly, but, be warned, the shipping is actually more than the cost of this reasonable cake. With tax it comes out to around $40 for the size that serves 8. They also make minis of this cake if you need portion control. Once you try it, you'll be hooked! All of their other creations are equally delicious, but this one is a real standout for the creative combination of flavors.

The food was amazing but the girl with the bright blue eyes needs to be trained or fired.. she had the WORST service in the world and she seemed like she didn't want to be there and when we asked what kind of coffee they had she then said "I don't know I didn't check" please do something about her because clearly she does not care

I have lived in the area for almost 10 years and I found out about Doans Bakery on Tik Tok! So guess what...I headed out there this morning and am I glad I did! It's an adorable bakery with seating outdoors and an amazing assortment of designer cakes, bundtlets, cinnamon rolls (big and small) and brownies (that assortment is amazing)! The staff are friendly and helpful, making it a delight to be there. That sounded corny but it's true! Being the carrot cake lover that I am and always on the hunt for the perfect one that takes me back to my Aunt Dolly's signature carrot cake recipe (in which I can not duplicate even with her recipe)...I finally found it! The perfect amount of spices and ingredients and the frosting which is not to sweet and makes you NOT want to share it! LOL! So make sure you get a few! PS I'll get two next time when my son is out of town...lol! Check out Doans Bakery when you want to make any day special!

Cruise cake arrived fine, but after thawing it was so dry and the frosting was yucky. Frankly, we deserve a refund. There were ten of us eagerly waiting to taste....it was like it was sitting out someplace....

Delicious baked goods. Chatted with the young lady (Mia) who was very funny and witty and helpful. Definitely will be back soon for more baked goodies

Thank you Doan's for providing our wedding cake on 10/15/22. It was SO BEAUTIFUL and tasty. Doan's was my choice because they were willing to work with our budget, but mostly because : THEY ARE SO NICE! One phone call with Marina, and I knew I liked her. I knew I could trust her to do great work. She was supportive, kind, and was on my side. They provided the cake, delivered, and placed the topper and flowers on our cake. It was a two tier red velvet cake. Oh! Did I mention it was delicious? Our guest raved about it! Thank you Doan's and Marina! If you need a delicious, beautiful, yet affordable wedding cake from good people - call Doan's!

Yes, I am one of the customers that first came to Doans to try their White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake, made famous by Tom Cruise as he gifts them to his friends every Christmas. I tried it for the first time last year and the hype is real. You don't have to buy a full size cake; they offer a mini-bundt size that's enough for one person. The cake itself is a tasty combination of the coconut with white chocolate chips in the cake; not dry at all. I went back to Doans this past weekend for more of the bundt cakes to bring back as gifts for my friends; Mr. Cruise has the right idea giving them as presents because my pals loved them. Service is friendly and it is not busy at all when I've been there. I love that this is a local family business that's been made famous by the support of a big star, but its pastries are not out of reach for non-celebs like us. There are lots of items for sale here, not just the 'Tom Cruise Cake.' Brownies, lemon shortbread bars, pineapple upside down cake, confetti cake, croissants, and more are on display. I left with six of the mini white chocolate coconut bundt cakes ($8 each) as well as two gingerbread cookies on my latest visit. I will definitely keep coming back to this bakery for more of its stellar items.

I typically come here to grab just coffee but their strawberry shortcake (cupcake?) caught my eye and WOW!! I am not a dessert person, but it gets the Asian stamp of approval of "not too sweet" :) I HIGHLY!! Recommend it! Can't wait to order the cake version one day!

After hearing so many amazing things about their Bundt cakes and The Highly popular TOM CRUISE Coconut Cake I ventured over to check them out Not impressed Cheesecake taste very greasy almost as if they used "duck" fat. The rest of the Bundt cakes were underwhelming- Upside Nice staff Coffee station Plenty of street parking Downside Short hours-

I bought the famous white chocolate coconut Tom Cruise cake ($8 for the mini bundt). I had pretty high expectations, everyone who's tried it seems to think it was really great, even people who didn't like coconut. Ultimately, there's not much flavor aside from sugar, tbh. Too many coconut flakes, they didn't really add anything, imo, just a bunch of coconut thrown in for texture. The cake is super sweet. The frosting reminds me of store bought in it's level of sweetness, it's texture and consistency. I didn't expect it, I guess I've gotten used to the Asian-style cakes that are not as sweet. The cake actually tasted better without all the coconut and I wonder if maybe a little coconut frosting might've been more flavorful. The cake itself was pretty dense, not pillowy as described, and again, kind of reminded me of store bought, it was just a plain cake and I guess it's actually supposed to be a coconut cake? There was not coconut flavor to it. The white chocolate pieces on the bottom were good, though. All in all, I wonder if Tom Cruise is trolling everyone because this cake is not as great as his celeb friends make it seem, or fellow Yelpers have said. It's too sweet and there isn't really any discernable flavor.

I took a detour and made it. I just wanted to try it. Just ordered the little one. $8 each. Parking right in front. Like a mom and pop bakery. Very neighborly. I was asked, "How's your day?" I like the cream cheese frosting. White chocolate morsels are a bit sweet for me. The cake was super moist. The coconut flakes were light and not overpowering. I couldn't taste the coconut flavor.

Two years ago, read about: At the beginning of every holiday season, Tom Cruise is known to send many of his friends and co-stars a white chocolate coconut bundt cake from Doan's Bakery in Woodland Hills, California. So excited!! finally was able to order the white chocolate coconut bundt cake!! Last 2 years, when I tried to place order- cake was sold out!! Finally, in December the cake was delivered in time to celebrate Christmas! Then in January, I visited the bakery! So excited to be there and enjoyed a white chocolate coconut cupcake!! Amazingly delicious!!!

I read an article that mentioned a coconut white cake that Tom Cruise sends to people from Doan's Bakery. Curiousity got the better of me and I decided if I was ever near Woodland Hills I would have to swing by the Bakery to at least try the cake. An opportunity presented itself so off to Doan's I went. Doan's isn't too far off the 101 freeway and is on a main street with adequate street parking. After you look at the cakes, pastries and cookies, you'll notice there are no prices posted or a menu with prices. I threw caution to the wind figured I drove out there so whatever the cost came out to would have to be fine, lol. It came out to $47, a little in the higher end. Everything is very fresh tasting. The Tom Cruise cake comes in three sizes, mini, medium and large. The day I went they only had the mini and large (which is good sized). I ordered three of the mini cakes, one for me to try and two as gifts. I may have missed something but to me it was a white cake with white frosting dusted with shredded coconut and I thought I tasted a hint of melted butterscotch chips or something on the bottom of the cake. The cake was moist but really didn't stand out. I think I was expecting more or a wow factor. I would give it 3 stars. What I really liked were the chocolate chip cookies, raspberry lemon muffin, apple turnover, cinnamon roll with a maple frosting and a muffin with I think lemon and toasted shredded coconut. I would rate most of the other items 3 or 4 stars. Chocolate Chip Cookies (4): Moist, semi-chewy and not overly sweet Lemon Raspberry Muffin (4): Moist, nice light raspberry flavor and very, very light lemon flavor. Apple Turnover(3): Good flavor, nice light crust, light on the apples and not overly sweet. Cinnamon roll (5): Moist, good cinnamon flavor and nice touch with the maple instead of cream cheese frosting or white sugar frosting. Muffin with shredded coconut and lemon (3): Very faint coconut taste, moist but not a lot of flavor. I liked all of the baked goods with the chocolate chip cookies and the cinnamon roll as my favorites followed by the Raspberry Lemon Muffin, Apple Turnover, Tom Cruise cake and then the muffin with shredded roast coconut muffin. Everything was moist and not overly sweet.

We stopped in to pick up some Mini coconut cakes and they had the cutest Super Bowl cookies for Swifties! So we bought those too .

Hours are not very friendly and a little far out of the way. Having said that, the coconut and chocolate cakes are amazing. The chocolate cake does need to be heated a little to soften the chocolate. We all agreed the coconut cake was divine.

Stopped by to try the famous Tom Cruise white chocolate coconut bundt cake! We were concerned because we saw the large one was incredibly expensive, but we just wanted to feed our curiosity and try a nibble. We stopped by on a Friday less than an hour before close. The cost of the mini bundt cake was $8, which was a price MUCH more reasonable for us. There was also a cupcake option for $4.50. Our family of four split one mini Bundt and felt it satiated us enough, as the cake was super rich and sweet. Not much seating but fun to try!

Flippant service. I wish I didn't tip them even 10%. Extremely curt answers to just 2-3 simple questions. I had to ask for a bag for the $50 cake. They handed me the bag. When I asked for their help in bagging the cake, the teen acted like I was asking for a big favor. I get the feeling these kids don't want to be here, really. Maybe management should pay them better or hire adults. Also, the cake had clumps of chocolate chip unmelted, just hanging out in the cake.

Even more epic than the amazing cake they made for us was the customer service they provided surrounding a late order during the Christmas rush! 100% recommendation !

Best coconut cake in the valley. Love to bring this as a treat for special occasions or a thank you. Did cake pops to my dr office. And brought mini bundts for a baptism. Small shop big flavor. Got famous and are on gold belly.
