I visited Pendell’s Bakery for the first time today with the thought of ordering a birthday cake. The staff there were friendly and welcoming. The slice of cake I tried was quite good and moist. However, I have to agree with other reviews that mentioned their cupcakes did not taste fresh. Despite leaving the cupcakes out at room temperature for a few hours, they were still dry, and neither the frosting nor the cupcake itself tasted fresh. I had plans to order a cake this month and three dozen cupcakes next month, but now I'm having second thoughts and will likely look elsewhere. I might just go with Cupcakin Bake Shop, as they have always been reliable!
Cute little shop with lots of options. I was greeted when I walked in and since it was my first time coming a took some time to look around. I settled on dog treats (my dog loved these and he is a picky puppy), 3 shortbread Cookies (these were to die for), a rosemary and goat cheese scone (good but a little dry- I came in the afternoon), and some cupcakes (lemon, red velvet, and vanilla). Everything was pretty good. My favorite was the cookies by far!
Recently, we ordered a family birthday cake from PennDel's, and the ladies went above and beyond to ensure it was a memorable treat, even accommodating several delays due to Covid. We can't thank them enough for becoming one of El Cerrito's top destinations—a warm and inviting place to stop by when you need something quick and delicious!

I bought a dozen cupcakes this week, featuring nine different varieties, and they were outstanding. The service at this charming little shop in El Cerrito is excellent. The cupcakes look beautiful, and they also offer other treats like coffee cakes, which I've tried and enjoyed as well.
Their baked goods are some of the best. We served this tiramisu at a special family dinner and at least three people said that it was the best they had ever had. PennDell's has a relatively small menu but everything that I've had from there is exellent.
super luxurious pastries!! I had the tiramisu cake and it was super lovely and rich (it might be some of the best tiramisu I've tried), the woman at the front was kind too and the store was really clean. Would definitely return if I lived closer lol!

Stopped by one morning to grab some breakfast. Left with a cheesecake, a croissant, and a few scones. Everything was good, but the cheesecake and scones were beyond. The owners were very kind as well!
cupcakes are great
