Shouldn't even think twice. The best bakery for the wedding cakes in the bay! Not as expensive as others and much better in tastes.

We tried so many traditional wedding cakes, but opted to do something non-traditional.

Instead of a primarily white painstakingly decorated multi-tiered cake we decided to go with 2
sheet cakes in different flavors expertly hand decorated with chocolate pieces!

The flavors at Schubert's - there are so MANY to choose from - are delicious.

VALUE FOR YOUR $: AMAZING.
Their cakes are delicious and infinitely cheaper than any other wedding cake baker we spoke with.

They worked with us to customize the messaging/decoration on the cakes.

Their staff is courteous and friendly.

Recommend you go early when they first open because the bakery is popular and it can get quite busy.

Beautiful cakes for a great price. I looked all over the Bay Area and you won't find a better value for wedding cakes. Really good cake, not the best out there - but in terms of flexibility, style and price - you can't beat it.

Chef designed a one of a kind cake for us from the picture that i brought - to match the wedding invitations and rest of the decor. It was pale blue with pink cherry blossoms and simply gorgeous. We were not charged anything extra for this custom design and paid the regular cake fee. Before choosing this bakery we visited several others at bridal fairs etc., but this was my favorite in terms of quality and value. Also, to save $$$ we ordered a smaller cake for display and an additional sheet cake, which was a fraction of the cost. The sheet cake was with mango mousse filling and it was a perfect treat on a warm summer day. Highly recommended!

The cake tasting was great! The choices were all delicious. Instead of saving the top layer for our first anniversary, they gave us a gift certificate to come in and get a free cake when we wanted it (great option to have fresh cake as opposed to frozen year old cake!).

In looking for a wedding cake that would be light enough to eat after a ten course Chinese banquet, we hit on the perfect cake at Schubert's, a San Francisco institution in the Richmond district. Another important factor was the cost, as we had to feed nearly 400 guests. We opted for a small tiered cake (for display and cutting) and additional large sheet cakes. Schubert's was able to adjust our order according to our guest count shortly before the wedding, which saved us from having lots of leftover cake!

As a bakery that doesn't specialize in wedding cakes, you'll find your decor options somewhat limited here -- but our cake turned out elegantly (an additional shoutout to the Ribbonerie, which provided the ribbon that decorated each tier.)

I ordered my cake online and then confirmed everything in person. Their cakes are truly delicious and fresh and they use only the best ingredience. I highly recommend this bakery for any of your cake needs.

The cake was beautiful, very tasty as well. They did a great job on the decoration of the cake, it was easy to order, and get everything done. They did a wonderful job.

I went to 5 bakers in various cities. Schubert's Bakery offered the complete package. I had a 3-tier cake, with Italian Rum, White & Lemon, and Mocha flavor. I created my own design which they were able to create and looked more beautiful than I can image. Their fondant taste wonderful. At first I wasn't not going to choose them because I wanted whipped cream frosting. After Sabine made me the fondant in a leaf form I new my search was over. I would recommend this bakery to anyone that wants everyone to rage about their dessert choice.

Schubert's cakes are so delicious! I came here from a recommendation of a friend, and decided to go for a tasting for my wedding. Needless to say, my now husband and mother in law loved their cakes. I especially liked their mouse and whip cream cakes. Charlene helped us w/ our tasting. We decided to go w/ a two tiered cake and then just get sheet cakes for the rest of our guests. At the time of the tasting I had NO IDEA what I wanted my cake to look like nor did I have a final decision on what types of cakes I wanted. I actually sent her my final decision later through email. For the two tiered cake we decided to get a chocolate mocha cake and for the two types of sheet cake we got a chocolate strawberry mouse and their coffee crunch. Everyone raved about the coffee crunch. One guest even told me they could've eaten 10 pieces of the coffee crunch cake! Not only were their cakes delicious they were affordable. Much more so than a lot of the other cake places I was looking at. I would definitely order cake from them again.

Their service is about average, but their cake is very tasty. They offer us a free cake for our 1st anniversity which is a big PLUS.

We chose Schubert's Bakery because they have been a neighborhood staple for years. From little desserts and pastries to big cakes suitable for the party at work and home, they rarely miss the mark. At our appointment, we discussed our options and tasted samples. We did not get a great big wedding cake and ultimately chose a sheet cake instead because of our small wedding. However, she added decorations to it that made it (a white cake with raspberry filling) just perfect for our wedding and wedding photos. The cake was delivered in North Beach area of San Francisco with no problems that I've heard. I think Schubert's is a great choice for any couple to consider.

I loved the wedding cake, we chose mango rum, and our guests complimented us on how delicous the cake was. The design was beautiful, we put ribbon around the layers, and had a cake topper, and they did a terrific job. Delivery was smooth, and went well.

We ordered a groom's cake from here. The cake looked excellent--we had it designed like a suitcase with stickers from different countries--but we had to haggle over the price, because the price they originally quoted us when we visited (and therefore budgeted) was apparently not their normal pricing. The taste was good/okay, but probably wouldn't have been worth their full price.

It was a total disaster, the cake was 1 and a half hours late, the receptio has already started. I was freaking out of course. The cake almost looked how I ordered, I order different flavor for each tier and they made the whole cake one same flavor. The flowers were awfully placed. WOULD NOT RECOMEND. The refund all the money.
