Kia's Cakes

Kia’s cakes is absolutely amazing!!! Her customer service is stellar. She executed our vision for our wedding cake beyond what we even expected and it was absolutely delicious! We choose red velvet with strawberry cream cheese filling! Kia’s will always be apart of any special event we have. Thank you so much for making a special day beautiful with your beautiful artistry.

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is calm, cozy, and welcoming. It feels like stepping into a sweet little escape. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind. You’re always greeted with a warm smile, and you can tell they genuinely care about both their customers and their craft. Now let’s talk about the desserts. Absolutely phenomenal. Everything I’ve tried has been rich, flavorful, and clearly made with love. But hands down, my favorite and I mean favorite are the peanut butter cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. I get them for my birthday every year and they never disappoint. The cake is soft and moist, the frosting is perfectly creamy with that deep peanut butter flavor. It’s honestly the best dessert I’ve ever had. No exaggeration. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with incredible treats and kind people, Kia’s Cakes is a must. Whether you’re celebrating something or just craving a little joy in cupcake form, this place delivers every single time.

These treats are absolutely amazing! I tried the bread pudding, chocolate cupcake and vegan chocolate cupcake. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the vegan one and the regular one. Both were decedent and incredibly moist. The bread pudding was phenomenal. I'm in talks with someone now to create the desserts for our upcoming wedding. I can't wait for my guests to be as impressed as we were!

Ordered six "giant mermaid gem cupcakes" (the newly six year old's wording) and told them to go nuts. What I got back went above and beyond - the kids were THRILLED, the cupcakes were indeed giant, and I personally deprived the poor lil children of one entire gorgeous giant confection. Delicious! The flavors are more present than any other cake I've had elsewhere. The party was at one of those Chuck e cheese esque kiddo hellscapes, loud noises and bright lights galore, stinking old carpet and parent panic sweat. I was not there, tho, soon as I bit into that cupcake. I was in a vanilla scented bath, and the air was sweet, and the world was just swirls of pastel frosting and little edible pearls. Finally, and most importantly - the kids got dat sugar rush IMMEDIATELY. I savored my cake while they beat up a giant inflatable slide. By the time it was (finally) going home o'clock, the crash had just begun to come and she went easily. Really mostly because those cupcakes were so huge we still had one and a half to take home and put in the fridge. So really we Do gotta go, you don't want them to melt, do you? Of course not It's 7:20. She is happily asleep already, dreaming of a fantastic party with killer cakes that "really looked like something a very fancy mermaid WOULD REALLY eat" Its also a super chill place to hang out. They have what I call "jillows" (visit kias you will immediately know what I'm talking about if you don't already) and the staff is friendly and interesting. love love love love kias - absolutely a neighborhood staple and a sweet beating heart in our lil community.

If I could give this a million stars I would! This is the best cake I’ve eaten in my entire life. My family could not stop raving about it. This MADE my husband’s birthday. This is our family bakers from here on out.

We used Kia's for our wedding cake and it turned out AMAZING! They were willing and able to execute on our vision and it was SO GORGEOUS in the end! The photo doesn't even do it justice. Can't recommend Kia's Cakes strongly enough!

I found out about Kia’s cakes from the Lansdowne Avenue Night market where I tried the banana pudding cheese cake. It was so good I marched my tail down the street and got more. I appreciated the free sample though 😅 The cheese cakes are so good. I’ve had the cherry cheese cake, sweet potato, and plain. I was icy when I went Saturday night and they were sold out of the sweet potato one even more in my feelings about the pumpkin spice being sold out talk about heart 💔. I love that they offer vegan options and they taste just as good. The cookies, cupcakes, and the bread pudding YES GAWD!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on your 7 year anniversary! I’m sad I didn’t know about you guys sooner but overjoyed to be patronage your business now. You’ll see me soon 😂

I purchased a cake for my baby shower from Kia’s Cakes and it was just as delicious as it was beautiful. It looks exactly like the inspo picture I shared - just so perfect. Everyone at the party is still talking about this cake! I picked strawberry cake with strawberry jam filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. Sooooo good!

Made a quick stop to grab some mother's day cupcakes. I just knew I'd be waiting for 3 hours lol But nope! Waited a good 30 min which was amazing for a hectic mother's day! Kia's for the W and awesome customer service!

The cake was really good just a tad bit dry. Icing a little too sweet but the cake was beautiful and everyone enjoyed it. Made sure i cut big slices cause i didn't want to bring any home

I am not a huge cupcake person, but the lemon blueberry was calling my name... And I'm glad it did, because it was delicious! Sweet but not overly so (which is usually where my issue is). Service was very friendly. Will definitely be back to try some other items in the future. They also have a good number of gluten free options.

Wonderful experience for my vowel renewal. They were professional and accommodating, cake and cupcakes ready on time and people are still asking who made them. More business for Kia's cakes.

Great local spot for excellent baked goods with a creative flare. The owner does a great job with social media, letting customers know what's new and reminding everyone they are there: smart! One of my favorite local businesses.

We ordered a mess of food: sweet potato cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, vegan vanilla bean cheesecake (not my fav)... all were decent. Black owned so yes yes

Recently ordered some Renaissance themed cupcakes for my 30th birthday. Not only did they come out beautiful and spot on with my vision, they tasted great! Kia's will be my go to for all my bakery needs from now on.

This week... um... no... TOMORROW you must RUN not walk to Kias to have a dessert that is out of this world. The cakes, cupcakes, and other treats are top level. I'm talking award-winning taste. Whenever I visit I can't decide what I want - because it's all great. Nice cozy space too! Service is fast and friendly.

Please be careful before you shop here, this Bakery is freezing their Birthday Cakes 1-2 before you pick your cake up they let it thaw out. These cakes they're selling are not fresh don't be fooled. I preordered a cake from them on 6/10/2024, The agreed pick up date was on my relatives birthday which was 6/18/2024. When I got home with the cake my family and I started to sing happy birthday the candles had a hard time going into the cake and the knife also couldn't cut the cake due to it being frozen. The Owner of the bakery told me that there was nothing that she could do for me but what I could do is let the cake thaw out for 45 mins. Stay far away from these Clowns go to your nearest GIANT Bakery they won't freeze your cake.

I had cupcakes from this bakery at a party and was lucky enough to take some extras home. I am a baker and am very critical of baked good. mediocre baked goods just aren't worth the calories and extra time at the gym. Please understand this bakery is top tier. The quality and flavors are outstanding. It is immediately apparent that these are very talented bakers who do NOT cut corners or skimp on quality ingredients. their flavor parings are so well done. I don't live in the area and feel lucky to have been introduced to this bakery via an event. My friend who threw the party said the bakery was wonderful to work with and very amenable to changes. Are they more expensive than the supermarket? yes, and for good reason. There are other bakeries who charge similar prices whose quality is just no where near Kia's. Here you will get your money's worth. I wish there was a bakery of this quality in my area.

I needed some cakes, and I was looking all over the place. I could not come across any in the Upper Darby. Then i went on Yelp and found this spot. As soon as i walked in, I was greeted by the sweet aroma inside the bakery. Thereafter, i went on to admire their colorful and plentiful selection's of cupcakes. Last but not least the girl behind the counter was very friendly and very welcoming.

The strawberry cheesecake was amazing--the strawberry sauce they use is a star. We did have to wait a while at pick up which was the only downside. But I would say it was worth it!

I am not a fan of cake, if I want sweets I usually eat fresh baked chocolate chip cookies (I LOVE the cookies from BJ's, 4th Street Cookies and the Flying Monkey in Reading Terminal) or I will indulge in a good brownie... But, in 2021 I had a slice of bday cake on 2 separate occasions and learned that both were from this bakery, so that's what brought me here. In addition to cakes, this bakery also offers cupcakes, cookies, muffins, pies, brownies and cheesecakes - the offerings come standard but there are also vegan options... I made my way to this bakery in need of cupcakes to celebrate a friend's bday; I purchased 6 and when I saw mini cheesecake I couldn't resist - I purchased a salted caramel pecan and an Oreo... The cupcakes were just OK for me but the mini cheesecakes were absolutely amazing. On this visit I purchased a mini sweet potato cheesecake, a mini strawberry cheesecake and a salted caramel pecan cheesecake; the strawberry and salted caramel cheesecake were exceptional, the sweet potato was good. I did purchase a plain cheesecake also but I didn't taste it so I can't rate it. I definitely recommend this bakery because the goods are fresh (the cakes and mini cheesecakes and delightful) and the prices are reasonable!

The service and the staff are really nice. I had the cupcakes at the Lansdowne night market and I really liked them. Since then I've been there twice and the quality wasn't the same. Seems like the baked good are old, and some flavors have a weird taste( lemon and salted caramel). They also serve really good coffee. This location has a cute cozy dining area. I will continue to support this business.

It pains me to write this review especially after so many positive reviews. Because another Lansdowne Cafe has an extremely rude owner and I like to keep things local I made a special point to patronize Kia's. Well so I thought! The night before I plotted my day with anticipation and the willingness to wait until 10:00am to eat breakfast. Although I wake up on weekends at 6:30am for the community support I waited. To make sure I didn't arrive too early I went to Dollar Tree first, I arrived at Kia's 11:20am. Queue up the dramatic music.... Server/Cashier: 'You should always call in advance we usually sell breakfast but not today our dining area isn't open. That person is not here right now they may be in later.' Me: 'No I shouldn't call in advance you should always be prepared to sell what you have advertised..' Sorry I had to say it but I don't have to call anywhere that advertised themselves as a restaurant or cafe etc., well until now I guess! Is the part of the Government shutdown and the cook was furloughed? This is why some businesses in the community don't last, don't make it or have caused themselves to have a bad reputation. However I do understand part of a review should be based on the business main focus which is the bakery (Kia's Cakes) in this case. I have not had their baked goods for quite some time thus 2 stars instead of 1!

Kia has brought warmth, happiness and full bellies to this little part of downtown Lansdowne with her cakes, cookies, coffees and hmmmmm those cupcakes!!! Her cake/coffee house is frequented by neighbors, nearby workers, gamers on some nights and me who occasionally takes the 25 minute drive to imbibe in her cupcakes. Why do I take the drive? Because I'm sick of $5 and $6 cupcakes elsewhere. The other day I got one beautiful cupcake, one piece of poundcake drizzled with icing and a cup of coffee for $7.95. Last week it was 2 cupcakes and coffee for the same. And Kia herself is personable and likable. Comfortable tables and chairs, banquetted walls to lean back on and pretty overhead lighting all make this a place to chill with some good beverages and desserts. There is a catering company within that although I've never tried, provides breakfast/brunch items that look diverse and reasonably priced if you'd like to grab a bite here. Give this Mom n Pop a try. You won't regret it.

So after reading some very good reviews I decided to In trust my nieces bridal shower cake to Kias cake. Unfortunately it was an emotional nightmare. I spoke back n fourth with "Rachael" who promised they would and could accommodate the shower cake I had envisioned. Simple 2 tier cake with mauve and burgundy flowers cascading. Cake was to be ready at 11:00am shower was at 12. 20 minutes from shower location. Cake was not ready when promised. Then stated they didn't have enough flowers They would use white and red. After waiting over 30 minutes. We were handed 2 cakes in separate boxes. The 2 tier cake was not assembled never ever have I heard of such a thing. Arrived at shower. Go to display the cake on the dessert table and it's a mess. The layers were sliding apart all cream was off one side. The top layer could not be placed on top since the bottom layer fell apart and not to mention was missing an entire side of cream As I contacted them numerous times they said I would be compensated. But I actually wanted an apology and an explanation why and what happened? They said they would have Kia contact me. 24 hours still no apology Never have I ever experienced a situation like this and I pray no one would ever have to have their special occasion ruined. It could never be undone.

While Kia's is known for their baked goods (rightfully so, they are divine), this is also a cafe with sandwiches & drinks. Over the months since I've been going to. Friday night game night (once a month), I've been enjoying their cafe food - from m the waffles (yum) to their individual size pizzas (special of the day), they're solid. When my friend Al commented on how good the vegan meatball sub was, my first comment was "I didn't know you were vegan." "I'm not." he replied. "It's that good." I am wary, because most of the vegetarian/vegan "just like meat" food I've eaten tastes, well, close, but not fooling me. I decide to order it anyhow. I'm hungry. OMG y'all it's fabulous. Delicious. Didn't fall apart as I ate it. If you hadn't told me it was vegan I would never have guessed. This is now my new steady at Kia's.

Sitting at a traffic light and saw Kia's out the side of my eye so we turned around to give it a try. This small bakery has a nice variety. The displays were filled with everything from cookies and brownies to cupcakes and cheesecakes. The associate said that the lemon and strawberry crunch cupcakes are two of their popular items so I had to try both. Both were tasty but the lemon was my favorite. It was packed with lemon flavor! Happy I stopped and would recommend you give them a try as well if you are in the area.

Hidden gem!!! Can't believe I just found this place. Friendly staff, cute store, smells great. Got 6 cupcakes, cherry cheesecake, chocolate chip cookie and banana pudding in a cup. Everything was delicious!! They have coffee also. I will definitely be coming here again. Noticed several custom cakes in the case that were beautiful.

I can't say enough about how awesome the cake we had made at Kia's was. I worked with Rachel on my order and the service was fantastic and the cake was exactly what I had envisioned for my daughter, who is a Big Breaking Bad fan! And the cake itself was amazing. Super moist and delicious! Everyone at the party raved about the cake!

[512] I've been eating Kia's Cakes for the past year or so ... It was great that they finally opened a storefront on beautiful historic Lansdowne Ave. These delicious cake/cookies/pastries are definitely making a name for themselves at the local Gelato place (where they sold items in the winter) and the local farmers market. Everything we purchased from Kia's Cakes has been delicious so far. The one thing I haven't tried yet is the cake. HA! The inside of the store is very inviting with it's tons of tables and cushy chairs. Lighting inside is great along with the relaxing music. Perfect for eating breakfast/pastries and reading the paper or just hanging with the family. There are a few hot breakfast items available long with a few lunch items (see my pic of the menu). It's on a main road so parking is tough. A few spots out front and a parking lot across the street. The store front needs a sign but I'm sure it's coming. They are closed Mon/Tues. Open pretty early Wed-Fri (7am) and Sat (8am). I'm think they should be open earlier on Sunday (now it's 10am) but I'm sure they will figure it out. It would be perfect spot to visit after mass. I'll definitely be back. They have a ton of great recipes.

A quaint bakery with the most delicious cheesecake ever. I chose the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. Also brought a dozen assorted cupcakes to a party, a big hit. Excellent customer service and products are baked with love!

Kia's cakes hit the spot every time. Everything is good and delicious! I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to cupcakes and cookies so that says a lot. So darn good!

Ordered cheesecakes with my big Sis after using Nev Creative Studio down the street for a pop up event we walked down the street for a sweet treat. I purchased cheesecakes that were already on display, cherry topped, strawberry and chocolate. All were fantastic, best in the area. You can taste the richness of the creamcheese, the lemon essence, even the crunchy buttery crust. BOMB. My sister said her vegan cupcakes she ordered were absolutely delicious, gluten free ones were "okay". The customer service of the cashier was adorable, we vibed, all was well.

Super good cake from an adorable spot! My mom decided to stop by here to get my graduation party treats and I pretty much fell in love as soon as I got in the shop. The bakery case was beautiful and the set up was nice and cozy. Nice chillhop music makes it a perfect place to get some work done. We got the vanilla 7in cake along with a dozen cupcakes: caramel cappuccino, lemon raspberry, lemon blueberry, vegan strawberry, red velvet, and triple chocolate. They were not only a hit, but people almost immediately asked where we got them from because they wanted more! Definitely consider getting your next cake order from here because on top of the service, the cakes are so so good. And it's a small business!

Great German chocolate cake!!!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Cute place but coffee service was very slow ...took over 39 minutes to get a latte

Cake was delicious and moist. Happy to have this option in the area. And the young ladies were very helpful!

We purchased the cupcakes (awesome), a slice of pound cake (also delicious) and a birthday cake. They were all very good, glad to see a lot of vegan options.

I ordered chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's Day and they were great!!! High quality chocolate, super fresh berries, very reasonable prices. I'd post pics but the berries were consumed long before I could reach anything with a camera. Soon I'll return and try their gluten free cake offerings. I chickened out this time because the person on the phone seemed a little confused about what was and wasn't gluten free--she offered me a V-day treat box that contained (normal) pretzels even after I'd stated that I was looking for something GF. But honestly this says more about my own anxieties when placing orders over the phone than Kia's Cakes' actual GF competence levels. One last thing-- it smells SO GOOD in this shop! SO GOOD. Go for the smells alone!

Best cupcakes and a great atmosphere. My children look forward to me bringing home delicious treats when I meet coworkers here after work.

The most adorable Gritty cake! The cake was a surprise from my husband (we just finished a Gritty 5K charity run) and when he opened the box I just couldn't stop grinning!!! My husband has a tree nut allergy and the bakery was very careful and respectful about providing a cake that we both could enjoy (typically desserts are really tough with that kind of allergy). Our first time ordering and we will be repeat customers. Thank you for creating a special memory for us!

Another terrible experience. The products are very tasty. The biggest issue is service and professionalism. I did not get what I ordered and that is unacceptable period. - I did not request a cake I saw in a Hollywood magazine or TV show. I simply picked a cake already on the website from the cakes she made. The cake was incomplete and missing designs. I was told, " the cake came out smaller than expected," nooooooooooo then you throw it away and make it AS EXPECTED. I needed a cake for 20 people not a baby cake for 12 people because you messed up. Then take a few bucks off like you are doing me a favor. There was no way that cake was for 18-20 people no way. I needed the gold colors because that was my color scheme. She did not put it on there and acted like it was ok. "Oh it's ok I forgot that part". Noooooooo not ok. I did not have time to go and buy another cake. I also ordered one dozen cupcakes with gold liners. She gave me mix matched baking cups and wrappers. It looked terrible. She just grabbed whatever she had left in her kitchen. Too lazy to buy me one dozen liners like I asked for. She put one baking cups inside of another. It was falling off. It was a sad presentation. She did not have a box for my cake. She used plastic and tape to hold the box up. I EXPECT this from my girlfriend baking out of her house and I'm only giving her $20bucks. I don't expect this from a professional business. Especially when I paid $150 for this cake! I would never recommend this place.

Very good product. But the customer service is lacking to be kind. I have been in more than once when they had more than one client, and more than one person behind the counter. I was not acknowledged. Today, one clerk went in the back to wrap a cake. Clerk #2 came out from the back, stood and stared at me with no greeting or acknowledgement, then turned and went into the back. I left. The only reason this is not a 1-star is because I have enjoyed the product. Will not be returning

Just so good. I'm super picky about cupcakes. They are really just so yummy! Service is always great too.

The service is hot or miss, but the cakes and cupcakes are consistently delicious! I haven't tried their breakfast items yet. I will update the review when I do...

Her cakes taste delicious and the service of the employees are very friendly. Ordered a cake 1 day before a party and she was more then happy to help and made a cake that looked prefect. I will definitely be back and I will reccomend her bakery to my friends..Thank you

Really good cupcakes! Definitely some of the best in the area. This competes with A La Mousse and Nothing Bundt Cakes for me- a good way to cycle through cake cravings haha. They have a wide variety, and it's definitely worth a trip.

Kia never disappoints. She did my birthday cake a couple years ago. The cake looked so amazing (I didn't want to cut it ). It was so good that of course I decided to go with using her creative skills for my private / intimate wedding. Rachel and I came up with an idea of fusing 2 different cakes since I couldn't decide on which one I wanted. The outcome was better then I could have even expected. Thanks so much to Rachel for being patient with my request and Kia to executing the vision. Do not hesitate to order from here. You will never be disappointed!

We purchased a last minute birthday cake from Kia's. The cake was very dense... almost as if it was missing an ingredient... such as eggs...presentation was nice... the cake was beautiful...however did not taste good.

Okay, so good. The vanilla bean cake slice was heavenly. I always drove past this tiny shop and today I finally made my stop and I am so glad I did. I am definitely ordering for my sons birthday from here!! The owner is so nice as well! Well done!!

Stopped by Kia's Cakes to satisfy a sweet craving. The cupcake and muffin really hit the spot. They had lots of different flavors to choose from. We also got a beautiful cherry cheesecake to gift to a friend. It was all delicious! Staff was friendly, courteous, and very helpful. Will stop by again!

I love it here. I ordered several times and was always satisfied. I recommend stopping in even if it's for a personal treat. Nice and clean atmosphere with a professional stuff.

This place deserved a 0 star!!!! We have been a strong supporter for this establishment before, the owner herself was able to obtained Kia's shop. Regretfully, the customer service is so terrible!!! I will no longer continue to support this establishment. The sad part is that, I want to support my community and especially black own businesses! Kia's has a lot to learn, it is so important to treat your loyal customers and your future customers right, especially if she want to see this establishment flourished and continue to grow. She can start of by hiring more friendlier staff and please do respond back when a customer is calling you! It is so unfortunately, that we live in Lansdowne and will no longer care for Kia's cake. I would rather drive and take the extra mile and spend my hard earn money somewhere else!

Very nice owner & great desserts. I've had the lemon blueberry cake to the strawberry cheesecakes and all items are great. I suggest all in the Delco area to support a local business.

I got an assortment of cupcakes for my baby shower last year including gluten free ones since I have an allergy and they were amazing. Just got gluten free/egg free ones for my daughter's bday and they were delicious and so cute!

I've used Kia's cakes for several occasions. She can make elegant or whimsical fondant sculptures, lovely wedding cakes, fun cakes, etc. The important thing is, her cakes taste really good. The buttercream icing has actual butter in it - you can taste it. It's not like a typical bakery cake, it tastes like a real homemade cake. I also enjoy the cafe, the coffee is great, the environment is lovely, and they stay open so you can go before or after work from the train station. Never tasted anything that wasn't superb from Kia's Cakes!

Stopped in on Sunday to pick up dessert for an impromptu dinner party. Got an assortment of gourmet cupcakes, from red velvet, chocolate to vanilla with strawberry frosting. My dinner guests raved about the quality and presentation! So tasty and fresh. Will definitely come here again!

We got 4 dozen cupcakes from Kia's Cakes for my baby shower and they were AMAZING (red velvet, carrot cake, vanilla bean, & chocolate)! They were ready on time the night before and she was able to use custom liners to match my theme. Every person who tried one went out of their way to tell me how delicious they were. The consistency of the cake and frosting were perfect - they were so fresh, even the day after we picked them up. I was happy to support this local business and urge you to do the same, she won't disappoint!
