It's All Good Bakery Inc

I’ve been coming here for many years and Nae is a big reason I keep returning. She’s always warm, helpful, and genuinely sweet. Real customer service that is rare these days. The signature sweet potato cake is legendary. It’s always the first thing gone at any gathering. Between Nae and those unforgettable cakes, this place is always a win.

First off, the service was absolutely stupendous . the young lady working up front is very energetic and helpful. Second this is one of the best peach cobblers I've ever had, and I am returning tomorrow to get the chocolate yellow cake again!

This is one of my happy places based solely on my love of sweet potato pie. I realize that love of sweet potato pie is a very selective thing. Some folks like their pie with nuts or made with lots of butter or sugar or both or maybe neither. I come here because the sweet potato pie is closest to the way my mom made her sweet potato pie. And since my mom is now in heaven I get another happy memory of my mom in every slice of sweet potato pie I purchase here. For the record there are other marvelous looking offerings as well - pecan pie, cakes and even peach cobbler and - but none interest me as much as the sweet potato pie.

It’s all good Bakery is absolutely scrumptious. I grew up in the south, around Savannah Georgia and these cakes remind me of family get togethers. The 7-Up Cake is #1 for me and the yellow cake with chocolate frosting is runner up. I can’t wait to try y’all’s strawberry shortcake, sock it to me cake and pies Mmmm - Shout out to Miss ShaRonda, she’s The Best! Much Love to Everyone. Go get y’all some of this goodness in your lives ASAP... for real why you still sitting there GO Now!

We drive from Las Vegas, NV to get these cakes. The pictures are after we made it home. Cakes are MOIST and DELICIOUS!

My husband bought me a German chocolate cake from here for my birthday. I usually get my cake from A Taste of Denmark (formally Neldam's Bakery) but they recently closed. It's All Good did not deliver on this cake a all. The cake is very crumbly like it's missing something that binds it together. The "frosting" was ok but it didn't have any chocolate just the coconut pecan filling . Looks like a cake I could make out of the box except a box cake literally taste better. Actually, Safeway does a better cake than this. Very disappointing.

I start to crave certain desserts and flavors at different times of year. Luckily, It’s All Good, is nearby. I missed eating a slice of Peach cobbler during the Summer and Thanksgiving because no one made or brought one. German chocolate cake is the staple dessert during my family’s Christmas holiday parties and birthdays, I could not locate even a slice until today. Now I know for parties in 2020 it is best to pre-order. I am so happy there was an abundance of peach cobbler and slices of German chocolate cake.

Betcha didn’t know this location was the Black Panthers first office!! ✊🏿One wall gives you some local history — read up! So, I came here for the sweet potato pies, which taste…yummy…and also very much like pumpkin pie — which was odd (I’m used to a color and texture and flavor difference). The staff was super-friendly, but what with the VERY high prices (a pie is $27.50, about 4x what you’d pay at a local supermarket), the pies appear unaffordable for neighbors in the ‘hood, cuz it was def a wallet stretch for me. Previous reviews of stale products + menu confusion + booshie prices + the constant “Looking for Workers” signs make me worry that we might lose this business 🥺 (Which would suck. Hope things turn around.)

My mama wasn't driving all the way to Oakland from her new abode without getting a slice of pound cake. Periodt. I think she thought I didn't know her because she started acting like she was "lost" and ended up in North Oakland while we were driving--conveniently along MLK and just next to It's All Good. "Oooh, isn't that...? I mean, since I'm here, and they have that 7-Up cake, and my friend hasn't ever had it..." my mom said, like this wasn't all hella pre-planned. Like any decent child, I just let this woman have her moment. "Go get your 7-Up cake, mom." She flipped that car around so damn fast and pulled over. She emerged beaming and carrying a bag of baked goodies to take home with her. To see how happy it made her reminded me of all the times we'd visited growing up and all of the times folks showed up at holidays or functions or birthdays with cakes or pies or banana pudding from their shelves. It's All Good is an Oakland institution as seeped in rich flavor as it is in rich history, and you can find both behind their doors. But my mama's still mostly there for that 7-Up cake.

This Oakland institution is a hidden gem. I don't need all the fancy overly priced French patisserie cakes when traditional will do! It has been a long time since last here so I had to pause and take it all in. The 7-up Bundt cake is still abundant as well as the peach cobbler. Today, I went with the German chocolate cake and the coconut pineapple which was new to me. The German chocolate cake is unbelievably light in the 4 layers as well as the coconut pecan frosting. Very easy to eat this whole slice but I'll be sharing! And then there is the coconut pineapple with its light yellow cake layers filled with chopped canned coconut and topped with a white frosting covered with sweet shredded coconut. For my next birthday, this is where the cake is coming from! Street parking, cash and app payments. It's old school with a handwritten menu taped onto the display case. Service is what it is. Only one person at the front today. Please support this local business

This place has been here a long time I say at least 25 years that I know of it has not changed. The cakes are delicious. The cobbler the cookies too if you want some real good cake, cookies and cobblers go there I guarantee you 1000% you will not be disappointed!! I don't have a picture of a cake but trust me I know what I'm talking about. I live for cake and cookies. I just had to do this review because I came across this bakery and I was referring it to someone in and it bought flashbacks the reason why I don't go now is because I live in Los Angeles, but trust when I come in town, I will be going and then I'll take a picture

The baked goods here are so good. The service needs some work. Little improvements can take them a long way. Display a menu, post a table sign with what's sold out for the day, greet customers and smile. There's another bakery nearby that gets all the service stuff right. I always see a line there and honestly have a better experience shopping there. But this place has the flavor and nostalgia stuff we grew up with. My favorite thing here is the German chocolate cake. It would be great if they could also implement a preordering system for the holidays. Many bakeries in Oakland and Berkeley do this. Definitely check this bakery out, but expect the poor service. This is my grandparents neighborhood and we've been coming for years. I hope they fix things and continue to be a staple in the community.

When you pay $35 for a pie, you want it with.. No Strings Attached. Having just had 2 slices from this pie, having to either pick out the strings in the slice... or worse, from the bite of pie still in one's mouth, it's not pleasant. HOW can someone make a pie, mixing the filling, and NOT notice ALL THESE STRINGS?? I mean, Really? While I'd really like to support a local business, I'm not going to do that when they can't even make a pie without the scraps being included.

It's all good no IT'S ALL BAD!! I hate to leave this review but I have to be honest I went there for my favorite cake yellow cake with chocolate frosting when i got home to eat it was stale as fuck i said maybe it was a bad day i tried them the following week same stale cake I don't know what happened to this place use to be the best‍

Loved this place and products back in the day. The quality and taste of the cakes and pies have fallen. 7 up cake was dry, grainy and did nothing for my tastebuds. What happened ??? Display case looks tired and unappealing to say the least . Handwritten signs are so unprofessional and $10 for a slice of dry azz cake is heinous. I wouldn't mind paying that for the goodness I received when this place opened years ago, however it is just not there anymore!!!!

This place has the best banana pudding I've ever had. I always get the giant one. Half of the time I go there I have fun conversations with the staff, other half of the time they're quiet which is totally fine. I feel like they could do more with the space though

3 different slices of cake for $34 and it wasn't worth it at all. They really have fallen with the recipes. Everything seems to have been unthawed or either stale. Very disappointed . service was service and the ambience was dark

I've been coming here for over decade purchasing my cakes and pies for the holidays. I was shocked to learn the huge mark up on the sweet potato pies!! The website states that the pies are $27.50 but, in-store I was told that the price $34.95 per pie!! Why is the website pricing different from the price at the bakery the customer service is horrible Where's Kym ? Whose supervising the associates running the bakery now?

I use to be a fan but they lost my business selling that stale box yellow cake that was overpriced. Ugh

I drove 17 miles to come pick up a seven cake. I came at 12 noon lunchtime and I get in there and there was not one cake of any flavor in the entire bakery. How do you open your doors of a bakery without having product? I try really hard to continue to support this business, but they have truly fallen off in the last few years. And the customer service horrible I asked the lady about cakes and she looked at me like duh. That's all we got. I will continue to support other bakeries that have just as good cakes, but better customer service and they have cakes when you get there.

Not as much variety as other places, but what they do, they do well. Some of the best German chocolate cake I've ever had and the pound cake is always moist and tasty.

Best peach cobbler and sweet potato pie I've had in my life. I come here every chance I get, it's spectacular.

Been coming here for years. Prices have gone up which is understandable. We purchased a 7-up cake. I served it after Thanksgiving dinner as a treat. Several of the people at the dinner were familiar with the bakery and excited to have a slice...until they tried it. The cake was completely fallen. It was so dense it was inedible. The cake was not moist at all. I was so embarrassed! And, to make matters worse, I came back with the cake the next day and the store was closed. No signage, no notice on the website, nothing just locked doors. I threw an entire cake in the trash. You have lost my business.

Food: 4 Customer Service: 5 Menu selection: 3 Location/ Parking: 4 Cleanliness: 4 Reservations: N/A We visited this bakery last yr, while we was visiting the bay area and visiting some friends. The bakery is located on a side street and pretty close to the downtown area. Parked on the street quickly for some grab and go deserts. Visited this establishment in the afternoon so unfortunately they where out of some items. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Also kinda pricey for what you receive. *I really stopped for the black panther history trail, make sure you see the memorabilia on the wall. So the stop was worth it for me. Most totally ignore the history part...or maybe they are unaware.

It's been years since i've had anything from here. Not because the food isn't good, it's just not nearby me. This was my 1st time physically visiting the storefront. It's only street parking but I easily found a park right out front. The bakery itself is underwhelming. You won't see any decor nor bells and whistles to warrant someone walking by to want to enter. It's simply a IYKYK situation. I didn't go there with any intentions. In fact it wasn't even on my mind. I ended up passing by it to get to my destination. So I stopped in. I remembered the peach cobbler being delicious back in the day, so I picked one up. I mistook the slices of German Chocolate cake for a caramel type cake. Traditionally German Chocolate cake has a dark brown base. Their cake is caramel colored. Which threw me off a bit. I asked for a recommendation which is why I opted to try it. I have tasted quite a few German Chocolate cakes. I would say theirs WAS THE BEST. 10/10. They also had yellow cake with chocolate frosting, pecan pie, sock-it-to-me cake and pound cake.

I went to get some good sweets...and boy was I disappointed . The young lady working alone was NOT welcoming at all! She didn't acknowledge me or speak to me. Not good. The selection was ok but no Peach cobbler which I really wanted. I settled for a slice of pound cake, Pecan Tart and a chocolate chip cookie. After paying and getting back to my car I noticed that she didn't get me a cookie. I had to go back in and informed her of this after I had to wait for two customers who entered after I left. After about 10 minutes I ordered the cookie again, paid and left. The Pecan Tart was very good as usual but the pound cake was very average. Something has changed. Not excellent at all anymore. The cookie was below average at best. I guess I should have left when she forgot it the first time! For the prices to be that I high I expect the best, not what I received. A wasted trip from Sacramento. I won't make that trip again!!

I come all the way from sac.to Oakland to get pie's all the time.Whoever was in the kitchen today.Really messed it up it was so damn disgusting. I'm so mad!

I have been here many times before not sure why I never wrote a review This business is an OAKLAND STAPLE for sure a must try!! Located inside a building that was once occupied by the Black Panthers there is a nice homage to them and the buildings history (see pictures) My favorite item to buy here is the Banana Creme pudding. It is so creamy, so tasty, so delicious and all ingredients are fresh. My second favorite is the 7-up cake, also very tasty and a must try I have not tried other items, but I will be back lol Parking is kinda hard to find, street parking only.

** The following review reflects my experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** I had just seen the impressive "Judah and the Black Messiah" about Fred Hampton and the Illinois chapter of the Black Panthers when I caught a local program that spotlighted this bakery. Of course everything they baked looked good, but what was interesting was finding out that the bakery operates out of a building that was the original headquarters of the Black Panthers. As it turned out, I had driven by the place for years without noticing the business. So now I knew and after making an errand in nearby Temescal, I decided to stop by. I was greeted with a friendly smile, and I was immediately overwhelmed by the selection in the display case - cobblers, cakes, pies, cookies - full-blown confections or individually packaged by the slice. This was no high-end patisserie with unpronounceable names. It was my kind of bakery, a homestyle, Sunday picnic kind of bakery. I felt I had to apologize for my delay in ordering because I was taking it all in. I just knew the 7-Up Lemon Pound Cake was something to try. Owner Kim Cloud talked about how popular an item it was on the program. It was $6.75 for a generous slice fresh from the Bundt pan (photo: https://bit.ly/3vPPr6H). I also knew I had a weakness for Sweet Potato Pie, and a perfect-size tartlet cost $7.75 (photo: https://bit.ly/3131cIP). I brought them home to split with Jamie W., and our anticipation was palpable. Perhaps it had been so long since I tasted sweet potato pie with my memories of Lois the Pie Queen long faded, but it was so tasty. And 7-Up poured into a lemon pound cake? Kim's right, it works. BAKED GOODS - 5 stars...classic Sunday best baked goods, for sure AMBIANCE - 5 stars...really welcoming place in an unexpected part of town SERVICE - 5 stars...very patient with me TOTAL - 5 stars...who knew 7-Up was a baking ingredient? RELATED - Exploring Oakland? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2ObVcpQ

I've been coming here since I was a child. Excellent treats and sweets always . The pecan pie is just so damn good. Sweet potato pie so fantastic

Love this place. First of al it's down to earth and feels like waking into grandmas baking room. It's not fancy in terms of aesthetic but is rich in history and culture. Now food: Fresh made, well lasting, not-too-sweet-but-always-sweet-enough sweets! And reasonable prices for the superb quality. This staple has been around a long time. As I say, "you Haven't been in the bay until you had one of its all goods cakes!" Go hungry Leave your judgement at home Take a bite and learn why I took the pick before I opened my bag lol Enjoy!

1. Two days in a row no cookies, and 90% of the shelves were empty at Noon. 2. Lighting was super dim or completely off so you couldn't really see what little baked good were there. 3. Counter person was super disagreeable, acted like she didn't want to be there, and was wearing a sleeping bonnet. She talked to me from across the bakery. 4. Baking staff didn't have on aprons or masks and the door to the baking area and to the service area was wide open to the elements (dust from the adjacent BART tracks, flies, etc. and who knows what). They used to be much better. I will never go back there. Horrible customer service. From here on out I am going to Gregory's Gourmet Desserts in Downtown Oakland where the complete opposite of what I stated above occurs.

I paid $40 for a cake and the cake was stale and old I was so embarrassed serving that cake to my coworkers. The level of freshness's in the cakes have went down tremendously. I have never experienced such a thing. You loss my as a customer never again.

Absolutely horrible service. How can you be a bakery and not have products on your shelves because you don't have supplies?! I have been there multiple times to get items only to be told " we don't have that cause we are out of supplies ". How do you fail to plan for busy holidays? Good thing that when you can get something it's good. They have the worst service around.

The food is delicious. The service is OK, but it needs to be a little cleaner and the prices hi $40 for pies expensive

Hit or mess with this place! Sometimes open sometimes close. It look a little ran down and uninviting but the cakes etc or good. Out of stock a lot

LOVE this place!!! The food is amazing!! The staff is friendly and personable. Historic location. I will be back!!

I had their 7-up lemon pound cake and the sweet potato cake at a work event. Both of the cakes were absolutely delicious, perfectly balanced flavors, and had the soft texture. Looks like I have to visit this bakery when I'm in Oakland!

Maybe I caught them on a bad day cakes was dry we try about six different slices all of them was dry . Sweet potato pie was alright.

The prices have gone up and the quality is not quite the same as it used to be. I got a slice of German Chocolate cake and a mini sweet potatoe pie. The cake was a nice sized piece, but it was almost $8 and is was very dry and didn't have much taste. The frosting on the top separated from the cake as soon as it was laid in on its side. Does this mean the cake is fresh or stale? Either way, I did not like that. Next, the sweet potatoe pie. I have loved their pies for years and would sometimes get theirs during the holidays. I wonder if the recipe changed because all I could taste was sugar. I really wanted some pie! Some good tasting pie. Looks like I'll be going back to my other spot :(

Service is great, space is nice and bright and desserts look good, but coffee is very weak and doesn't taste so good.

Good cakes and pies and different sizes and cake slices. They do not always have all flavors so you have to check. Love their bakery items

we were hosting a Sunday event and needed desserts to go with our tea. I reached out to it's all good and they POLITELY let me know they don't reserve cakes and I'd have to walk in. I let them know I needed 6 cakes and I'd be in around 9 am to pick them up, they told me they should have a wide selection since it was around thanksgiving and they were preparing for the rush. When I arrived there weren't many people in line so I was able to get my cakes quickly. They were out of one of my selections (red velvet, I think) but I was happy to grab a couple coconut pineapples, German chocolate, and sock it to me's. We had around 55 people at our event and we double cut the cakes and there was a full cake left over. They're tall and hearty, a really good size for the price ($30/cake) I had a piece of each and they were AMAZING!!! Moist, and flavorful. I'm not a huge fan of sock it me anyway and this was one was a bit dry. But we got rave reviews and the cakes really elevated the experience for folks, their words not mine! I also got a slice of 7up for myself and YUM!

Why be in business if you don't have the most sought after products available for sell? Multiple trips to this location and no availability and not taking any orders?? On Thur they're waiting for the manager to return with the ingredients to make the pies! It's the holiday week. These ingredients should have been purchased way in advance or at least offered to take paid orders.

Seriously they need to rename their bakery to "It's Damn Smackin A/F Bakery". Why! Red velvet cake is the best red velvet in my life. The Coconut cake with the caramel pineapple filling is blissful. The oatmeal raisin cookies are the best ever. You can make some fantastic ice cream sandwiches from them. Sweet potato pie pillowy texture with incredible flavor. You can taste and feel the love that's put in. Peach cobbler you'll never be disappointed. Warm spices matched with meaty textured peaches. Simple yet explosive in you're mouth. Historical focal point in Oakland. The building was the former headquarters of The Black Panthers. If you're into history. Then this place is worth the visit. Plus spend a few dough getting some authentic deliciousness. Trust me it's smackin. Best time to go is in the morning hours. Parking is on the street around the corner too. In a quiet neighborhood border-lining Oakland and Berkeley area. It's a couple blocks north away from the Children's Hospital on you're right. Customer service is top notch.

I have been coming to this bakery for years! I love it! My favorite thing ever...is their pecan pie! Just perfection! Not too sweet! I love the coconut cake, the german chocolate cake, pecan pie and their peach cobbler. It is really easy for me to make a stop and get one of each...so needless to say I don't get by here too often, it would be awfully dangerous and I would weigh a whole lot more! Today I took a 7 up cake to the dealership where I get my car serviced! Every once in awhile I will get one and take there for the service dept...and they were in awe once again...that it was still warm when I took it to them and it was delicious! Nice thing to share with a team of folks that treat me very well! And for me...they didn't have the small pecan tarts....not a problem I bought a whole pie...just for me! I realized today that I need to get there earlier because sometimes they sell out of things. Most of the shelves were empty and I was told that they sold out. So maybe that was really a good thing...I was able to get pecan pie though! I have never been disappointed when I come here...so I guess I will keep coming! ;=)

The best cakes ever. I especially love their coconut cake. I request it every year for my birthday. Support them I promise you will not regret it

I've been coming here my whole life and I absolutely love this local bakery!!!! My go to is the pound cake but everything my family has ever tried is great! My order is always timely and I love that I can just get slices of certain things. The location is convenient also but be patient with parking. It's worth the hassle. This place comes highly recommended from me. I'm so glad they are still able to remain open during this pandemic.

I hate to write this review, but I feel forced. I stopped patronizing this Bakery because the quality of cakes declined, but I decided to try it again. My cake slice was old, dry, lacked flavor, and had an eggshell in it. I paid nearly $7 for one slice of dry cake with an eggshell.

It's sad and unfortunate that this bakery is going down hill. I have had the experience of enjoying several of there pies a few years ago and I do remember the customer service being absolutely horrible at that time. Today I called to see if they were going to be open next Wednesday; the day before Thanksgiving and if so what were there hours going to be. The girl who answered the phone sounded like I called her personal phone on her off day. Lol, she was completely detached mentally from the bakery. I felt like apologizing for calling ! No worries ma'am I will not be calling or coming by to pick up any pie's any time soon. I do not recommend this bakery to any one. The pie's use to be good however it seems like based off of other reviews that not only is the customer service horrible but it seems as if someone changed the recipes as well. Good day! It's All Good Bakery!!!

This is a sweet spot to grab sweets. This yellow cake is my favorite. Its moist and home made with perfect chocolate frosting. Years ago I ordered a large one for my daughters baby shower. They didn't have anyone to write on the cake but it is such a good cake I didn't mind. They have good cookies as well and other treats...

Banana pudding so good it will have you eating the whole tray for yourself and telling your family "go back and get your own!!" Source: I did this today.

You ever had a square cookie? They have good peanut butter, chocolate chip and snickerdoodle square cookies! The flavors were good. The outside is a bit rundown. Support your local small businesses or they will disappear!

I love alll good bakery! Nice family owned business, and good people. The deserts are amazing, and I love the staff! Please support them if you're ever near by. The area is hard to park in but that's the only bad thing. The ambiance is amazing!

Bought sweet potato pie small tart size. The pie had more crust than filling. This business has gone way down. Hate to see it go but won't be back

NEVER AGAIN!! Stopped by to get a 7 up pound cake, took it home, cut a slice, and spit it out! The cake was HARD and tasted OLD. I ended up putting a $22 cake in the trash. Had I of used my card, I would have called up my bank to dispute the charge. Seriously, It's all good! You ought to be ashamed for selling old ass cakes! I will never give this place anymore business. The cake almost made it worth it to deal with their crappy customer service, but after this trip...yeah, no thanks!

This is my go to every year. The 7up pound cake and sweet potato pie is to die for, can't never go wrong. There should be a pre-order/paid line for people who has already paid and a sign or someone coming out to let people know what's available and what's not available that's just customer service. Standing in line for 40 minutes or longer and to get inside and there out of something you wanted is not good.
