Marvel Cake

Unfortunately, Marvel Cake is one of those spots with a beautiful interior and stunning-looking desserts that just don’t deliver on taste. When we walked in, we were impressed by the wide variety of options and decided to try the Napoleon, the pink opera cake, and the chocolate opera cake. Starting with the pink opera cake, it was easily the worst of the three. It had an odd jelly layer that was extremely sour and completely clashed with the rest of the flavors. The gelatinous texture made it hard to eat, and we couldn’t even finish it. Definitely a waste of money. The chocolate opera cake was slightly better, but still missed the mark. The flavors were unbalanced, leaning far too bitter, and the overall composition just didn’t come together like a proper opera cake should. The Napoleon, however, was a standout. It was light, perfectly flaky, and had just the right level of sweetness, genuinely delicious. Overall, for the steep prices, having two out of three desserts be almost inedible was really disappointing. It’s a pretty place to look at, but definitely not one I’d return to for dessert.

So delicious!! This place is amazing! My boyfriend and I shared the 3 desserts shown in the picture..absolutely enjoyed every bite! We will be coming back for the Chocolate Hazelnut, that was recommended. Can’t wait to come back!

It's indeed marvelous. We tried 3 of their best cakes and some tea there, it feels luxury. The cake is delicious. The vibe is fancy. Love this place.

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding cake! Even though we had a small, two-tier design, our baker went above and beyond to make it feel truly special. The gold trim was elegant and perfect for a simple but classy look. They also added some fresh flowers so it tied in perfectly with the rest of our decor. Not only was the cake absolutely stunning, but it tasted AMAZING. It was fresh, flavorful, and balanced. We ended up going with vanilla buttercream with strawberry filling and our guests loved it. Some even asked to take some home! The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The baker came out to the floor to talk though what we wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and overall made for a lovely experience with Marvel Cakes. Highly recommend to any couple looking for something both beautiful and delicious on their big day!

Marvel Cake in Campbell is a delightful bakery that I’ve come to really enjoy, especially for their incredible pastries. The standout for me has to be their croissants, particularly the ones filled with pistachio or chocolate. These croissants are simply divine—flaky, buttery, and filled with just the right amount of rich, smooth filling. The pistachio croissant is a true gem, with its nutty, creamy filling that perfectly complements the lightness of the pastry. And the chocolate croissant is just as indulgent, with a deep, velvety chocolate that satisfies any sweet craving. What I also appreciate about Marvel Cake is the variety they offer in their pastries. While I may be partial to their croissants, there are so many other delicious options to explore, from fruit tarts to layered cakes, all made with precision and care. However, I must admit that I’m not particularly a fan of their espresso drinks. While they offer a variety of coffee and espresso-based beverages, I’ve found that their espresso products don’t quite meet my expectations. They’re not bad by any means, but they lack the depth and boldness I typically look for in a good espresso. That said, Marvel Cake is still one of my favorite spots to visit when I’m in the mood for a sweet treat. Their pastries are consistently excellent, and the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it a pleasant place to relax and indulge. If you’re a fan of expertly crafted pastries, I highly recommend giving Marvel Cake a try—just don’t go there expecting to be wowed by the espresso!

We came to the bakery today genuinely excited, hoping to find a beautiful and meaningful gift for a beloved family member. While the cakes we purchased were delicious, the overall experience was deeply disappointing, and honestly, quite upsetting. The staff member who assisted us around 5:40–6PM on May 23rd was astonishingly rude. We tried to ask for her suggestions and later asked how we could best protect the cakes on our walk home. She responded with clear disinterest, as if helping us was somehow beneath her or simply not her concern. It left us wondering, does the bakery intentionally train its staff to be cold and dismissive to match some outdated idea of “Parisian charm”? Because if so, it’s working, but in a terrible way. Her attitude ruined what could have been a joyful and memorable moment. A bakery’s legacy is built not only on taste, but on hospitality and warmth. If this is how customers are treated, that legacy will fade fast. To the owner, you really need to choose the right person to stand there with pride. Otherwise, you risk letting someone else ruin everything you’ve built.

Marvel Cakes has a cute indoor dining room that would be nice for an afternoon tea. We took 4 pastries to go for dessert at home. Service was quick and efficient. There are a lot of beautiful desserts to choose from with many different flavors. They still had spiral croissants when we arrived at 3:15 pm on a Monday. We tried the following desserts: Pistachio Mousse - great if you like chocolate and pistachio Tiramisu Tart - tasted just like tiramisu but the filling was very soft so it fell apart once we cut into it Ube Sesame Tart - my favorite of the 4 we tried. Really good ube and black sesame flavor Apple Strudel Cheesecake - my least favorite. It has a good apple flavor but felt very small for the price My family enjoyed all the desserts and we liked having a variety to share. The desserts are not overly sweet and perfect as a single serving or for grabbing multiple items for sharing. I would recommend coming to Marvel Cakes for their desserts.

A lovely bakery at in Campbell! So many Beautiful and tasty cakes and pastries. Really want to taste every single one😋😋😋😋😋 a passion fruit cake and a pistachio cake with coffee and tea - nice tea time with a lovely friend. Nice indoor sitting area. Service level was depended on who to serve you…🤣🤣🤣

What a joy. They have lovely pastry, coffee from SightGlass, and teas from Mariage Frères, We found so many delicious treats. There's both inside and outside seating. In the corner, they have a whole dining room where you can eat your pastries on beautiful French tables. I highly recommend a visit for your next celebratory pastry needs.

Friendly staff, amazing desserts, and great coffee too! The interior is super cute and I love trying different cakes each time. This is a great spot to chill with friends, treat your parents to some afternoon tea, or a relaxing date spot! Love their desserts and recommend to anyone wanting to try something new

I am a regular to this place and have been coming back for their spiral croissants at least once a week for the last several months. I always take the bakery items to go and it's been great. Last week, since we had a holiday for Juneteenth, decided to take the entire family for a coffee and same pastries at the cafe and had the worst possible service imaginable. We were waiting for 30 minutes on the patio for someone to clear the table and none of the servers seemed to be in any hurry. Meanwhile, the three coffees we ordered were sitting next to the coffee maker getting colder by the minute. Finally, after several times of walking up to the counter and reminding that I had a party of 5 standing outside waiting for someone to assist us, one lady finally came by and seemed like she hated working there and had a grumpy face throughout. Very reluctantly, she cleaned the table and finally got us our items. The coffees were predictably cold and after all the waiting and frustration, I was in no mood to complain and wait 30 more minutes for a replacement coffee. We just finished what we got and left. We paid a service fee before at the counter when I paid for the bakery items, which was a let down as I received horrible service. The bakery items are good but the horrible service stood out so much that we couldn't enjoy a single bite of anything and left completely unsatisfied and disappointed. Will never be returning.

Marvel Cake had been bookmarked for quite long. I must say the place did not disappoint at all. Chic and stylish ambience perfect for those coffee dates or just hanging out with friends. Very polite Customer Service. They have quite a good selection of pastries, cakes, and coffees. My top favorites include the red velvet latte with the opera cake and tiramisu. The latte was not too sweet and just perfect. The layers of chocolate in the opera cake was splendid. I am not a big tart fan, but was pleasantly surprised by their tiramisu tart. I know that this place is popular for spiral croissant, but unfortunately they had run out of them. I am definitely coming back to try those viral spiral croissants. Highly recommended.

My FIL brought over some sweet treat from MC to cheer up my little one who recently broke her arm. At first I thought they were treats from mademoiselle Colette since it has similar colored box. Then we realize it was from Marvel. I remembered passing by MC in Palo Alto but FIL picked these up from the Campbell location. From the photo: Hazelnut chocolate: top left dark chocolate colored with golden hazelnut on top. This was 5/5 all the way. Love the thin layer of crunch and the mouse. So pretty and delicious! Tiramisu: caramel colored with MC big chocolate slab. This had a heavy coffee flavor topping. This was just ok. Chocolate eclair: far right with golden triangle leaves. This was good and light. Middle chocolate with gold x: tasted rich with many layers. Not sure if it was coffee flavored. Blueberry cream eclair: ok The best was the hazelnut one.

First time here. Cute decór and clean inside. Not too busy the day we came in, which was nice. Some of their menu items were already sold out earlier in the morning, but there was still a good variety to choose from. The staff weren't too friendly or welcoming this day, but it didn't affect our experience. We enjoyed the pastries and teas, and they were all delicious. The vanilla eclair was delicious- perfect amount of sweet.

The ambiance was surprising, especially for a strip mall. It felt like a mix between a gold and glass Bloomingdale's jewelry corner from the 90s and a Tea with the Queen pop up. The foods in the brightly lit cases were well-presented. They weren't incredible--- the parts of the flattened croissant without the pistachio dip were crunchy and flaky but not flavorful, the apple tart may have been better heated up, and the Napoleon came up a little short (get it?)--- however, everything was fresh, with great textures, and they're way better than their local competitors. But, back to ambiance, the perfect place for a mom to take her mom, or a mom to take her daughter, or a girl to take her girlfriend, or a boy to take his girlfriend, or a boy to take his boyfriend. I think it's because they care about presentation, my wife thinks it's because they care about tips, and the worker claims they mistakenly were waiting for drink orders we didn't make, but we had to wait for our food even though nothing was being done to it. But if it was intentional, ask for your stuff to go. The queen does not wait!

Walk into a dessert lover's paradise at marvel cake. Each treat I tried was a delightful symphony of flavors and textures: Pistachio Spiral Croissant: Not just any croissant, this spiral wonder is filled with lush pistachio cream, offering a nutty, buttery experience that flaky pastry dreams are made of. St. Honoré: A lavish affair of puff pastry, adorned with caramel profiteroles. The luxurious crème core oozes with each bite, topped off with delicately piped cream resembling flower petals. The caramel flow is simply divine! Napoleon: Layer upon layer of flaky pastry, each bite interspersed with rich cream. It's a textural dream that balances crunch with smoothness, perfect for those who love a classic done right. Passion Fruit Tart: Bright, bold, and beautifully tart. The passion fruit cuts through with a refreshing zest, nestled in a crisp tart shell--a tropical twist that's both vibrant and indulgent. L'Opera: For the chocolate aficionados, this dessert offers deep, espresso-soaked layers of almond sponge cake, married with chocolate ganache and buttercream. It's rich, decadent, and utterly irresistible. Pair any of these with their artistic Red Velvet Latte and Lavender Latte for a café experience that's as luxurious as it is comforting. Visit marvel cake for not just a treat, but an exquisite dessert journey with great service!

When you pay $6 for a pastry then it should minimally taste good and be packaged decently. This failed in both aspects. Stuffed into a sleeve which stuck to the frosting and basically rubbed it all off. Normally wouldn't care about that if it tasted good but really underwhelming. Also got the spiral croissant and didn't care for it either. It was not crispy on the outside but just kind of soft. Maybe if you get it when it's freshly made then it would taste different. Maybe the desserts are better. They looked pretty and probably are packaged better so they aren't ruined if taken to go.

I had been wanting to try this bakery for so long after hearing about their spiral croissants. We arrived right when they had opened and ordered 3 spiral croissants, a flat croissant, a slice of mango cake and a coquette chocolate dessert. My SO ended up getting more savory items such as a regular croissant and a handful of spinach and cheese snacks. The savory snacks were hand down the best part! The desserts were high quality made but we all realized only one was more than enough. The 3 spiral croissants were pistachio, strawberry and chocolate and jam packed of cream. They were certainly made well but not to our liking. My friends each got teas and those were delightful too. Verdict--get only one dessert, get all the savory goods.

I FINALLY DID IT! I made it in time for CIRCLE CROISSANTS! *DROOL* Since these things went viral online, I've visited three to four times with no luck. Today was the day! I finally made it with options to choose from. They open at 10am & highly suggest getting here closer to opening. Flavor options: Strawberry / Pistachio / Chocolate They had a FLAT CROISSANTS in the same flavor options. Didn't know I needed one in my life! For the most variety I chose to go with the strawberry circle croissant & the pistachio flat croissant. To which I was not disappointed. Circle Croissant was lightly sweet from the strawberry filling & had splendidly crispy layered rounds which I dipped in the middle. Heavenly pairing! Flat Croissant was crispy but not over crisped with a layer of bready center. I was worried I'd bite it & it would fall to crumbs. It did not. I bite perfectly outlined bites. It was buttery, crispy, & had the best pistachio coating. The pistachio pieces added the perfect crunch. 5 stars for pastries - they are the star of the show! Customer service was a little flat even though there was no one behind me. I felt rushed & that I couldn't really ask questions because when I did, I got one word answers or short answers. I wish there was some enthusiasm for the beautiful pasties they offer. Ambiance is cafe / coffee shop style with a walk past options & order to pay at front. Seating, mainly tables for parties of 2. They have about 3 larger tables for parties of 4. Thanks for the gorgeous croissants *chefs kiss*

I was swinging by the Nob Hill plaza to charge my car a bit before driving home only to be surprised that Marvel Cakes is located right here. I've seen the croissant rolls on social media but I was impressed by the interior and ambiance of the shop. Upon entry you will see the pastries they have on display and to the back corner will be cashier and drinks menu. The service here is efficient and answer questions regarding the ingredients of the pastries very well. I came early in the afternoon so the croissant rolls were all out but they still serve lots of other pastries that you should definitely try. I saw the flat croissants the closer I got to the cashier and had to try one and as someone with sensitive teeth it wasn't too crispy where it hurt to bite. I also got a lavender latte and was able to get it iced and the drink definitely did not disappoint.

One of my friends asked if he wanted to meet me at a place where he eats brunch with his wife but also takes home some cakes to gift others. We wanted to just meet somewhere to drink coffee and eat a pastry while we discussed some financial topics. Parking within the area was tight, people could door ding your paint so carefully pick where you park in this plaza. It was around 9am when we came and there was a line of people wanting to get in and pick out their desserts, it was a first time for me here so I didn't know what I was getting myself into. My friend said just to pick anything and that my wife would love them anyways. What got me surprised was when I had a dessert with edible gold on it. Theres tables inside and outside the restaurant where you can be seated and eat your pastries while enjoying it with some hot coffee or coco. If you needed to use a bathroom, you would need to squeeze through some people that was in line but the bathroom itself looks high-key bedazzled. This place is good for picking out bday cakes and gifts, I'll definitely come in for that.

The vibes of the place are AMAZING. I gasped out loud when I first walked in-- it's that beautiful. I thought the sweet pastries were delicious but really sweet! I would've preferred a balance. The one savory pastry that I got was okay. FOOD [4/5] ========= + Pistachio Spiral Croissant (5/5) SO AMAZING! This was filled with so much creamy filling and the croissant was perfectly baked. The pistachio flavor is very fresh and not too overdone. I really enjoyed this. + Strawberry Spiral Croissant (4/5) A great spiral croissant as well! There wasn't as much filling in this one and I enjoyed the pistachio flavor more. + Flattened Croissant (4/5) This looks absolutely beautiful and was decorated really well. I thought it was a bit dry and hard to eat. Buy this more for looks than taste IMO. :P + Leek & Parmesan (4/5) The one savory pastry I was able to order! I thought it was a bit too dry and crunchy. I wish it was softer and had more flavor.

I saw this place on Instagram and have been dying to try the viral spiral croissants and they did not disappoint! They were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the filling was AMAZING! It was such a cute cafe and the workers were so kind and fast! I will be coming back!

My gf took me here for some nice coffee and pastries. I really enjoyed their ambiance and cakes there. The flavors were great. It was more on the sweeter side but not bad. It compliments the place and I really enjoyed the decor. The service was nice but it's more of a self serve location. Really recommend if you like fancy pastries dinning experience and company.

Came here with friend's suggestion for meet up. It opens at 10am and came a few minutes before and pleased it was open! Shortly after the place filled up past 10am. Lots if couples i noticed. I wanted to try the crossiant pastries but was told there was alot of filling/creme inside which im not a fan of so instead went with the spinach tarte and french tea for my friend and i. They ended up runniing out of the Opera blue so i chose the french breakfast and she chose the mocha. I got a little cold inside the inner room but okay. I enjoyed the spinach tarte and the tea comes with very cute tea pot. Prices r on the higher end and there r so many other bakeries with yummy pastries, i really like the cakes here and would potentially want to order one in the future!

Cute parisian cafe. The croissants and pastries are okay (nothing extraordinary) but the birthday cakes are good. we ordered ahead of time and it was ready on time and packed well.

I love their tarts and baked goods. Their pistachio tart is so delicious I have to refrain from inhaling. They have a great selection of treats and good coffee. The area is very elegant and calm which is nice. The staff give great service and recommendations.

This is a must-visit gem of a bakery. Had the spinach feta croissant the leek and Parmesan croissant and the chocolate croissant. They were all delicious. Rich and flavorful. Plus they had a beautiful display of cakes and pastries that we will definitely come back for. The interiors are beautiful with a European cafe vibe and a fair amount of indoor and outdoor seating. And everyone working there was warm, welcoming and accommodating of any questions/ requests. Would highly recommend.

What a wonderful ambiance this cute little cafe provides. Lots of parking. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You walk inside and you are transported elsewhere. So light and airy and beautifully decorated. Lots of women behind a well lit counter that was adorned by some beautifully decorated decadent desserts. There is even a parlor type seating area with little cute lamps on each table as if we were in a French cafe. This was a part of my mother's day treat. So glad I found this place and bookmarked it. I chose 5 desserts, tea and a lavender latte. I chose a rose shaped yumminess that was so vibrantly red it could have been an actual rose. It was rose water flavored and was so light with a hint of rose petals. We also chose a tiramisu and it was giving tiramisu. There was a pistachio dessert that had a great amount of pistachio pieces that was melt in your mouth. My youngest spotted some almond cookies he HAD to try. So we got a couple of those. The last dessert was a oreo dessert that made my youngest smile. The iced tea we ordered was a Jasmin Mandarin tea that I'd come back for even if just for the tea. The lavender latte was also delicious. We will need to come back since I wanted to try the filled spiral croissant which they were out of when we visited.

Worth trying once but not my favorite. It took me 3 visits to finally get my hands on their viral spiral croissants - get there early to get your hands on them. I didn't realize they were filled with pastry cream as an extra surprise Overall, the pastries are good but not out of this world and pricey. Optimized for photo op rather than taste :/ Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - plenty of parking in strip mall

A lovely bakery at in Campbell! So many Beautiful and tasty cakes and pastries. Really wanted to taste every single one a passion fruit cake and a pistachio cake with coffee and tea - nice tea time with a lovely friend. Nice indoor sitting area. Service level was depended on who to serve you...

(Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is hidden Parisienne patisserie in Campbell! C'est Marvel! Marvel is in Campbell! Kara warmly greeted us and served us! We were transported to Paris! Ooh la la! The Thé Bleu was delightful! Fragrant. Subtle. Azure. Wow! My Latté was fab! A hand crafted artisan coffee w/ a heart surrounded by petals. Délicieux! The Strawberry Mousse was delish! The edible flower was the perfect touch! A tiny crunchy surprise! Vraiment! The Hazelnut Cake was incredible. Rich icing. Moist cake. Incredible filling! Wow! The mademoiselles are guaranteed to love it! (It says so in fine print...well, it should.) And the Parmesan Croissant was flaky, flavorful, and perfect! Just like Kara said, the dish has to be beautiful and most importantly delish (like an IG supermodel). Yes, I was referring to me. Isn't that right, ladies? mmhmm. Would order everything again! Thanks, Kara! Woohoo!

A beautiful tasteful cafe - always delivers on quality desserts and good service. They are a little pricy ($8-$12) per item but in-line with other shops like Alexander's etc. They did get very busy after their viral spiral croissant - and those do run out by 11/11:30 am. They are delicious and layered perfectly- but do get soggy if not eaten within an hour or so. They offer mariage freres teas - which is a great alternative for coffee. Like others have mentioned - this place would be ideal for an "afternoon tea" service and I hope they start something like that soon. Overall - a very beautiful elegant cafe with delicious treats!

The service and ambiance were great! We had French Blue tea which was fruity and refreshing, iced Rose Latte which was ok. Another Lopera green tea which was really nice. The pastries Paris Brest and Rose Pistachio tart were light but too sweet for me and my friends.

I saw this place on a tik tok video and wanted to see what the hype was about. I went on a Sunday morning right about when they opened. Last time i came here on a weekday afternoon they ran out of their special croissants. We got the pistachio and strawberry does croissants. The flavor was good on both and big super sweet but the texture was not the level i would have liked. I felt the outside was a bit too stale and the inside was not as flaky as I would have like it. The staff are really nice and the inside is very clean and modern looking. They also have an assortment of teas which are also really good!

We were here on a weekday evening , and we got a table fairly quickly. The interiors at this place is really beautiful. There are quite a few tables , but can see it get full pretty quickly. We tried the following : Tiramisu: 3/5. This had a strong coffee taste which was pretty good , however the base was a little hard to get through with a spoon. Crème brûlée : 4/5. This was definitely tastier. It had good texture. Lavender latter: 4/5. This had a good a flavor of lavender. It was on the sweeter side. The total for these 3 items was 30$. This is definitely on the pricier side. It was definitely worth a try, but not sure if I'll be back.

We made a 30 minute detour to check out Marvel Cake specifically after seeing it on IG, and it was absolutely worth it. This bakery was so professional, clean, and high-quality. We got an assortment of pastries and coffees and everything was amazing. The staff was all wonderful, but especially Dalia who made the whole experience a 10/10 for us with her excellent service and kindness. Keep in mind you are paying for quality goods, but it is worth it. The favorites of what we got were the vanilla eclair and the pistachio croissant. We will be coming back and sending our friends who are traveling even remotely in the direction of Marvel Cake.

Upscale ambiance and clean. Cakes and coffee were alright, but didn't really meet expectations. Everything overly sweet. Chocolate swirl croissant is a mix of a jelly donut and a normal croissant, except it doesn't do either justice. Unlike a normally good croissant, it is NOT "crispy on the outside chewy on the inside". It's not crispy. It also does NOT have the fluffy and airy texture of a jelly donut. The pistachio mousse cake was good, still too sweet. If judging by this only, would have given it 4 stars It serves Sightglass coffee but the lattes was very light (too milky). Rose latte was too sweet.

Excellent bakery items. They have limited spiral croissants which are very popular and they run out of it earlier in the day. It's worth tasting it . Service was fast and excellent. They have good indoor seating arrangement with nice tables and decor

The hype is real for Marvel Cake's wheel croissants and I see why. I tried the pistachio one and oh my goddd it's amazing. The filling has a perfect half custardy/ half ganache consistency that isn't too sweet. I paired everything with their mandarin jasmine tea, helped with the sweetness of their pastries. Pistachio wheel croissant - 10/5 Mandarin Jasmine tea - 4/5 Strawberry tart - 4/5 Leek & Parmesan pastry - 3/5

Cute spot to go to with friends or loved ones. Their pastries are good, sometimes they're a little on the more dry side, as this is my second time here and still feel the same. Their miniature cakes are delish though. The macarons are 4/5, they're a portion size but not as good as ones I've tried from Ketsourine near SF. The girl making my marcha latte today seems a little new or rushed (maybe lazy?) Not sure why but she had another lady come back and ask her to remake her lavender latte whereas with me, I had to ask her to shake my matcha latte a little more since there were still clumps. I looked over on the other side and saw that she had a perfectly good matcha latte on her end.l that she was sipping on (now why would you forget how to make a customer's drink)? Afterward, she remade my drink the correct way (mixing the matcha with hot water first, dissolving it, then. Definitely needs more training. My matcha was at best 2/5. No flavor:/ Overall, it's a good spot to hang out over coffee, but it's nothing to go crazy about.

Came for the spiral croissants and it was not worth it. Spiral croissant review: The spiral croissant was about $9 after tax and fairly large, although I would never pay this much for a croissant if it wasn't for the hype. Got the one with raspberry lemon filling, and I have thoughts... The croissant itself has a great texture and crispy outer layer. However, the filling was just a raspberry jam and a lemon custard both piped into the croissant, and it was so runny and messy! Difficult to eat and also such basic, unimpressive fillings. Matcha latte review: Also ordered a matcha latte which was so disappointing. It was basically just hot milk with matcha powder dusted on top, so you can barely taste any matcha. Not worth it. Details for when you visit: Arrived on a weekend afternoon and it was busy inside. We lucked out and got a table to sit down, but there's not much seating for how busy and popular they seem to be. Parking can be difficult in this plaza since it's busy. The interior is beautifully decorated though and has a luxurious feeling. The other pastries looked gorgeous, although I can't speak to their taste. I am not coming back to try them though.

Went here for the first time with one of my bffs. She told me that this place has good cakes. Oh my I'm so blown away by the cakes design. They're so beautifully decorated and displayed. My friend told me the spinach feta bakery is her favorite so I bought it (not in the pic) and yes it's now my and mini me favorite too now. I also love the rose cake (in the pic). It's a raspberry with a bit of chocolate mousse. This one was not only beautiful, it's also decadent and not too sweet like most cakes which is a plus plus. And of course this's my favorite too now. The staff was friendly and helpful. Thank you! I'll be back for sure

Came for the famous croissants but were sold out. This place is elegant, beautiful chairs and small tables, not ideal for more than 2 people. Service was super quick. No napkins were provided but no big deal. Loved the forks. All the desserts are beautiful. It was hard to choose just one. I shared some with friends. -Lemon Pie. Good. Needed to be more tart for my taste and I didn't like the whipped cream in top. Lemon tarts should have meringue instead, in my opinion. -Tiramisù tart. Pretty good! -Creme Brûlée tart. Pretty good! Vanilla beans for the cream which I really appreciated. The shell tart was tasty but like all the tarts, slightly undercooked. Needed 5min linger in the oven. Also I found the shells a little too thick but tasted delicious. -Matcha latte wasn't sweet which I really appreciate. I hate when they add syrup. -Leek and cheese savory pastry. Didn't like it. Could barely taste the leek and didn't like the cheese. Nice option for a coffee and dessert if you're in the area.

Two words: spiral croissants! Come early because they can sell out quickly. I came in right around opening on a Saturday morning fortunately was lucky to have a wide selection of their croissants (pumpkin spice, chocolate, or pistachio) - but as we were eating we quickly saw people buying the iconic croissants one by one. In general - I loved my experience at Marvel Cake! The ambiance is cute and quaint, almost reminiscent of a place to have a nice tea party lol. They had drinks, sweet desserts, and savory pastries available. You can also preorder/buy cupcakes or cakes for special occasions! I tried the pistachio croissant it was SOO good. The croissant was nice and flakey, and was generously filled with pistachio creme (which was such a dream as a pistachio lover myself). The creme wasn't too sweet which I appreciated, and I was surprised by how well the croissant held itself together with every bite. My only regret was not taking another pistachio croissant to take home - service was great during our visit and I had no complaints at all!

This place was trending and my husband saw it on Instagram so we decided to try it out since we were in the area during Valentine's day weekend. (Yes, it is a late review/didn't get to finish my review) We got here late (past 2pm) so by the time we waited in line, all the good stuff was mostly gone like the spiral croissants that was trending. Per other reviews I've read, apparently you have to wait in line early in order to get them so if you go in the afternoon, you'll most likely miss it unfortunately. I ended up going home with just 2 pieces of macarons that was close to $10 and they were alright. The aesthetics were nice and you can definitely feel the European vibe. I personally do not think its worth the wait for just the macrons.

!*CAKE REVIEW ONLY*!--This is long overdue but i could not hold back on this one! I received services from Marvel Cake in 2020 for the first time and it was an easy, hassle free, great experience! Very beautiful bakery, this shop has been clean and amazingly decorated for a long time! I was so glad to have purchased my daughter's first birthday cake from this bakery. I was hesitant before reaching out to Maryam (based off past experiences at other bakeries) but after speaking to her and explaining my cake design/idea, i knew we were on the same page and had no doubt she was going to exceed my expectations! I requested the cake exactly as it looks and I wouldn't have changed it for anything. Cake was delicious, moist, and perfectly sweet! My guests loved every bite. It was soo good I don't think we got to take more than 2 slices home. Up until recently I've been trying their baked good/pastry items and they've all been delicious! I noticed they have a lot of mousse options instead of actual mini cakes, but there's plenty of options to choose from and if you're looking for mousse, definitely check this place out!

I personally got the strawberry tart and while it was definitely the cutest thing I could order, I don't know that it was the yummiest. The tea, however, was in fact delicious loved it. The service is fast. You just go up to the counter and order what you want kind of like how you do at chipotle lol you just point and then they package it up it plate it depending on if you get it for here or to go. The restaurant is very pretty. Perfect for a little photo moment. I will say that there is limited seating so keep that in mind if you have a bigger group. It's very pleasant and clean too. Go check it out.

Parking: plenty Environment: cute & clean Croissants: - overall, filling is not too sweet, very flaky on the edge. I really enjoyed the pistachio croissant. Pumpkin spice tasted like a flaky pumpkin pie. Price: a bit on the higher end as it was $7.5/croissant Overall, glad the food actually matched the hype! Will come again!

Recently went to New York and wanted to try the viral spiral croissant's from Lafayette bakery but were unable to because the sold out. Found this spot in the South Bay that had them and they were pretty good! Ordered the pistachio -- which was really good! Also go that egg nog one -- this was also good but not as good as the pistachio one. They were both soft, flaky, and creamy in the inside with the filling! I thought there would be a lot of people trying to order them. But went right at opening on a Thursday morning (week of Christmas) and there were only a couple of customers inside. Both croissant's came out to about $15. Parking was easy, it's a big shopping center. The inside of the cafe was nice and clean and employees were nice. I'd come back and try some of there other flavors in the future!

Was super excited to try this place, based on their spiral croissant and they got featured as one of the best bakeries in San Jose from a YouTube foodie. This place is super elegantly designed and everyone looks professional and the display case is well stocked. Though I will say behind the counter it does look frazzled, but maybe because they were busy?? I loved the look of all the pastries in display, but I felt a disconnect with their selections, how you got to see all their selections and their labelling. There was some mislabeling of the pastries in the display which is not that big of deal to order, but then people go away thinking one thing is that pastry and go somewhere to get embarrassed. They have a lot of selections but it goes down a line and then more is around the corner. So the people take your order towards the middle of the long display case, but it's like you couldn't even see what was around the corner until you get towards the cashier. This is more of a nick pick for me, but I do not like that they had cupcakes there. The whole vibe if is this French patisserie, then you have basic cupcakes in the corner?? Since I was super excited by all the eye candy we got a few items: got both flavors of the spiral croissant (chocolate and pistachio), the opera cake, a mille fille and the chocolate eclair. If you get it to-go there are no spoons or forks available to take with you that I saw. We ended up using one of the pastry boards as a spoon. The spiral croissants were bad. The filling inside both of them were flavorless and tasted as if they were about to go bad. The topping for the pistachio one is different then the filling inside. I liked the topping better, it actually tased of pistachio. It was essentially a soggy croissant. The eclair felt the same bad pastry cream and soggy choux. I never had a mille fille cake slice before and I probably won't have it again. It was super eggy and rubbery tasting. The opera cake was actually pretty good. Overall super disappointed for the quality of taste of the items we got. Very expensive for what you get. Located in a business plaza with a lot of parking. Overall customer service was good. Super crowded from all the people flocking here to get pictures for their Instagram. They has tables inside and outside. There are way better places out there.

I was really looking forward to going here based on all the good reviews. Sadly was pretty disappointed. I got four items. A pear tart, mixed fruit tart, almond croissant and chocolate croissant. The place is super cute and the service was great (hence the three stars - I would give two if it was based on food alone). The pear tart was really bland, it's like they didn't put sugar in the pastry dough. The filling was ok, but clearly wasn't made that day. Actually nothing I bought seemed fresh, it was at least a day old. Fruit tart was ok, the crust was mushy because it had been sitting out awhile. The chocolate and almond croissants were the better of the four. Not amazing, but still good. I'll be going elsewhere for bakery items in the future.

Marvel Cake is a really cute bakery business right next to Capers. All the employees are very kind and the service is very fast. I will have to say get there early because a lot of the pastries sell out very quickly. It can also be a little pricy. Other than that, I highly recommend! I recommend the Napeloean and the iced lavender coffee. Everything is so appealing to look at.

I think I found my new favorite study spot. Came here to study with some friends to study and chat for a bit and was so pleasantly surprised. Off the bat the bakery/cafe is so aesthetically pleasing and everything looks so clean and put together. Right now since it's the holidays they have these adorable Christmas decorations up and it really livens the place. The cafe itself is also quite big compared to a normal cafe. The pastries and drinks are really good! They have a good selection of desserts and even have a few savory pastries. They have a good list of teas and coffee drinks. The staff were super sweet and accommodating. I will definitely be back here!

I saw Marvel Cake on instagram (highlighting the spiral croissants) and was so excited to try it out! I've been once before and previously had a matcha crepe cake and their red velvet latte. I wasn't thoroughly impressed then, but I decided to give it another shot and see if I could get the spiral croissants. When I went with a friend over Thanksgiving week, there's clearly a lot of attention paid to the presentation of their pastries and the interior design. It's an adorable tea room with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. When we got there around 4pm, there was a pretty extensive line, which was surprising to me given that it was a weekday. By that time, their spiral croissants had long been sold out, so if you're chasing after the instagram recommendation, you probably need to get there much earlier! My friend and I order two teas (opera blue and earl grey blue) and two pastries, a tiramisu crepe cake and a danish. Both pastries were taken out of the pastry case when we ordered, so we were expecting our whole tray with teas and pastries to come out fairly quickly, as all that was really needed was hot water. However, we waited for over 30 minutes, probably closer to 45 minutes, for our tea and pastries to come to our table. The tea came in a prepackaged bag, so it was really confusing to us why it took so long for our order to come out to us. If they were significantly backlogged from other orders, it might have been helpful to ask us if we would like to take the pastries we purchased to our table since there might be a wait for... a teapot with hot water. As far as the pastries themselves go, I was unimpressed by the tiramisu crepe cake. It was dry, didn't possess much coffee flavor, and honestly tasted more like a stack of rice paper with some coffee powder dusted on it than other crepe cakes that I've tried that are more moist and have nice cream fillings between the layers. I have been here once before and also tried their matcha crepe cake, and felt similarly. Perhaps crepe cakes aren't very good if they've been left out too long? Either way, I personally won't be getting their crepe cakes again. I also tried a bite of the danish, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't particularly good. Lastly, the price! The four items we got were an eye-watering ~$40 for a couple cups of tea and two pastries! I don't think the teas were particular standouts either, so the whole thing felt more made for instagram than for tastebuds or value. With the inefficient service and the disappointing meal, I unfortunately won't be returning to Marvel Cake again.

A nice place to hangout with your friends ;) They have many pretty desserts, too bad the price is very expensive The round croissant is the best deal in my opinion :) $7 each but the size is quite big and it's filled with cream.

Return of the Spiral Croissant! I had them from a different business before but those just didn't cut it. Marvel has around 3-4 flavors ready at 10am every morning but Mondays. Verdict: super flaky, buttery, and generously filled with sweet cream. Eat it right after purchasing for the best experience possible. Each layer was pure pastry deliciousness. They're spirals so it's not super soft, perfect crisp outside with a rich interior. Worth the hype! Flavors: *Pistachio *Chocolate *Tropical Mango Passion Fruit (seasonal) Tropical was my favorite of the 3: fruity, vibrant flavor. Pistachio was too sweet for my taste and chocolate was darker. Not bad though. Love the contrasting textures! No line on a Thursday morning and I went straight to the glass display cases to place my order. Couldn't help ordering a wonderful Parisian style chocolate macaron courtesy of baker @macarons_by_agatha and apple turnover + original croissants to take home. Maybe they'll have strawberry or a new seasonal flavor next time I visit.

Nice cafe with an elegant interior and beautiful cakes and pastries that gives out a French vibe. The spiral croissants have been all over social media recently so we tried the pistachio and the chocolate. They are both on the sweet side, pistachio tastes better. Also ordered the pink rose latte which is super grammable. It's nice to hang out with a friend here, although price is on the high side. But if your target is for a social media post, that's where you want to go.
