"We had a fantastic experience at Marvel Cake in Palo Alto. Alex was absolutely amazing, warm, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to describe the pastries in detail, which made choosing our desserts even more enjoyable. We ordered the Lemon Tart, the Serenity, and a couple of americanos.Everything was exceptionally good. Lemon Tart: A beautifully balanced dessert with bright, zesty lemon curd sitting in a perfectly crisp, buttery tart shell. Refreshing, smooth, and not overly sweet, exactly and precisely what a classic lemon tart should be. Serenity: A true standout and a visual delight. This pastry layers blueberry mousse, almond cookie crumble, and raspberry compote into a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The mousse was light and airy, the crumble added a gentle crunch, and the raspberry compote brought just the right amount of tartness. Every bite was exquisite. Paired with their well-crafted americanos, the entire experience felt like a treat for the senses. Marvel Cake and their hosts are all about craftsmanship, creativity, and outstanding service. With Alex’s thoughtful guidance and such beautifully made desserts, this spot is a must-visit in Palo Alto. Highly recommend!"

"Gorgeous cafe with fantastic coffee, lovely staff, and absolutely beautiful Asian-inspired, French-style pastries! I grabbed coffee with a friend at Marvel Cake in downtown Palo Alto, and we were both incredibly impressed; our lattes were rich, smooth, and creamy (although a smidge more milky than I’d typically prefer), and the pastries were amazing. We decided to split their mango crepe cake, which had a wonderful mango flavor and perfectly tender and beautifully thin crepes. It wasn’t overly sweet but was quite decadent (and expensive), so it was the perfect treat to split."

"Marvel Cake is one of those hidden gems that just makes your heart happy the moment you walk in. It’s a small space, but incredibly aesthetic and cozy — the kind of place you want to sit and savor every bite. They have a lovely selection of desserts, and while I found the tiramisu crepe cake just okay (not quite like the crepe cakes I’ve had elsewhere), everything else I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. A go-to spot for a sweet treat and a little boost of joy 🌸🍰"

"Marble Cake is a delight. Staff are friendly, ordering is quick and easy, and the display is full of colorful, visually delicious cakes with lots of variety. The flavors are not overly sweet and perfect for an afternoon tea. I ordered to-go. The neighborhood is lovely on weekends, though parking can be tricky then. It’s a bit pricey, but the quality make it worth it."

"Stopped in Saturday afternoon, there was a very friendly young lady working the counter. She answered out questions and was very helpful . We managed to get the last 2 spiral croissants, a cookies and cream and dark chocolate filling. Also got a hokiado crepe cake, hazel nut tart, and a mini cake (bosan or something, don't remember). The crossaisnt were filled to the max fill filling and crispy/crunchy on the outside and outstanding. My kid devored the crepe cake, but it was very delicious as I got to try a bit of it. The hazelnut tart was very rich, could have used a nice coffee to go with it but it was also very good. The mini cake was also very good, the custard filling was excellent. Overall good service. We asked for bathroom and the lady politely told us out of order and suggested some near by locations."
