CC Cake
1031 S Baldwin Ave, Arcadia, CA
Crema's Take
“CC Cake in Arcadia is a quirky, family-friendly spot where you'll sink into kitschy pillows while sipping creative fruit-forward drinks and caffeine-free tea options that are genuinely delicious. Their real standout is the adventurous dessert menu—think Durian mille crepes and fresh cream cakes like the vibrant Fruit Melody—paired with an impressive array of specialty drinks that make this place worth lingering in. It's the kind of place where you can order something totally unexpected and actually have it hit, especially if you're craving something sweet and unusual.”

I really like this cafe for its delicious and unusual desserts and drinks. I especially want to mention the caffeine-free series. The drinks are delicious and come in various fruit flavors. You can also order custom-made cakes.
We wanted dessert after lunch so decided to check out this cute cafe with kitschy pillows on sofas and chairs. We ordered Durian mille crepe, magnum crunch chocolate cake box, original basque cheesecake, durian coconut sago drink, and brûlée Oreo boba shake. The durian milk crepe and durian coconut sago drink were both delicious and not too sweet. There were a lot of durian bits but it was not overpowering. Cashier was patient while we were ordering. Parking can be an issue as it shares the lot with other businesses in the plaza.
Fruit Melody is a beautiful fresh cream cake. The cake was ready on time. Will order again.
I ordered from CC Cake through Uber a while ago, 4 star. I can't comment on their cakes, because I ordered none, but I have to say this place's drinks are pretty good. I liked how they packed the drinks nicely, and no caps came off during delivery. Their drinks stand out in terms of unique flavors, for example, they have the grapefruit magnolia and coconut mango. But they don't have the best selection and price is a little more, the small/normal size being $7.00+ and big size (which is only tall) being $8.00+ on Uber, which is why I rated 4/5 stars.
We ordered their pork cake and two drinks (watermelon tea and mango cheezo smoothie). All of them were surprisingly bad. The sampling pork cake was a nearly baked cake with seaweed and some fury stuff on top (which I assume it was the pork). The taste was unbearable; given that I am usually ok with trying creative combos. It came in a ready to go packaging although we ordered it as dine-in. Both drinks were bare minimum stuff. I would do 10x time better with my shaker. The staff were nice but they didn’t understand when I told them I don’t like the cake. Overall I hope their cake is good (which I initially marked them for). That the only reason I am not giving them 1 just for the good faith I have for their cakes.
