New Russian River Brewery in Windsor is Close to Opening | Eater SF

"I'm excited that Oakland's James and the Giant Cupcake is opening a third location at 463 2nd Street in Jack London Square; the bakery specializes in cupcakes and wedding cakes, already has downtown and north Oakland locations, and the new spot will face competition from Berkeley’s Cupcakin’ Bake Shop moving into Swan’s Market a few blocks away." - Janelle Bitker

Ordered the wildflower cake for my kids bday party and it was beautiful! The ladies that worked there are so sweet and kind and definitely put lots of love into it. Everyone kept asking where I got the cake from during the party because it was so beautiful. Thank you to the cake makers who made my kids day extra special🤍

Grabbed an assortment of cupcakes for my son's birthday party and was blown away by how delicious they were. Even my husband who is not a fan of cupcakes ate a mini lemon blackberry and said, "I don't like cupcakes, but I'll eat those any day!" We will definitely be back.

A random find of the day and they did not disappoint soon the writing of this review I have tried the carrrit cake and it was very light and moist. The icing was creamy and not sweet, a very good cupcake. Once you’ve had them fresh it makes ya wonder how good the day olds are lol. Significantly cheaper and something that moist can’t truly go bad overnight if stored correctly ryte? Anywhoo, just some thoughts. I purchased a half dozen and can’t wait to try the rest

I am on a gluten and dairy free diet and was so happy to see they offer cupcakes that are both gluten and dairy free. I had a vegan/gluten free snickerdoodle cupcake which was literally the best cupcake I have EVER had!! Thank you guys!🧁 🩷

This is a very awesome local business to support which is owned by super awesome women! They are located next door to sweet cafe and a few small boutiques on a busy street, in a residential neighborhood. Allow time for parking and exploring the whole block. I was lucky enough to find a jewelry store a few doors down that quickly gift wrapped a lovely necklace for my BFF the birthday girl while I was picking up her cupcakes last week. This original location on San Pablo and Alcatraz was so popular that they now have a second location in the Jack London District. They make delicious cupcakes, small and large, for ALL occasions. The chocolate one topped with an Oreo cookie is my favorite. They have salted caramel cupcakes, strawberry short cake, and all kinds of diverse flavors along with traditional ones. It's so fun to get an assortment of mini cupcakes so that your guests can all have a two bite taste of each flavor. They are all unique, pretty, and of course, delicious. You can usually order ahead, online or by phone. They will even DELIVER! Isn't that a total game changer for party planners!? Visit their website to get inspired. I think the prices are fair and that it's a treat to support these amazing women who own the business and do so much for other people around them.

We ordered custom Unicorn cupcakes for a birthday party. Not only was the cupcake so cute, but the carrot cake itself was super moist. It's a bit pricey ($60 for a dozen), but highly recommend!

Been coming for years. Customer service has gotten so bad hardly come. The quality of the cupcakes are subpar. Definitely not worth the price. Finally made my last stop 5/22/24 the customer service from the woman with slick ponytail. She was rude and unfriendly. Just because you have old cupcakes keep in mind the customer don’t won’t them especially if they cost $5. Once these start raises prices they lose value in all areas typically.
