Ordered a gender reveal cake and asked for it to say “Coming September 2025” this was not only for a gender reveal, but for a photo shoot as well. Disappointed to say that when the cake was picked up by a third person that didn’t know it was to have a message written. When we gathered saw a blank cake. Photo shoot ruined. Called them and all I got was a weak sorry from management. With so many places to choose from I chose them. Never again!

Luz the Cake Lady didn't just make our wedding cake, she made our wedding day! We wanted a simple, classic white on white wedding cake. And after multiple interviews and searches all across the Peninsula, Luz called and instantly understood our vision and desire. "Something like my grandmother would have had." YES! And she delivered! Beautifully, timely, deliciously. And she threw in little blackberry pies as a tribute to my late mother-in-law. With as much heart as she has, I Highly recommend! Thank you!

Luz made my wedding cake for my August 2024 wedding and it was absolutely beautiful! We asked for a vanilla cake with fresh strawberries and white frosting. Luz decorated the cake exactly how I had asked - the cake was beautiful and tasted wonderful. Everyone was raving how delicious the cake tasted! Additionally, Luz catered our post-wedding brunch the next month for about 30 people in Salinas. The food was wonderful and we even had leftovers after people going for second helpings. It was so easy working with Luz and her team - they brought everything over in the morning and picked it up at the end of the day. They supplied us with coffee, hot water, utensils, plates, etc. It made the morning following the wedding so easy on everyone. My mom worked closely with Luz ordering the cake and catering, and my mom said Luz was a joy to work with. She was extremely friendly and kind and really wanted to make sure we had a wonderful event and wedding cake. We were so happy to work with Luz and are so grateful for her!

The baked goods I've had from here have been consistently of high quality. However, I had a somewhat irritating customer service experience yesterday.

I went to pick up a cake yesterday on Christmas Eve; was initially told to pick it up between 10 am and 12 pm. I called the morning before arriving, and was told it would be ready by noon.

I came a few minutes before noon. The place was busy, and only one person (I believe the owner) was managing the front. So, I was anticipating some slight delays. However, after I was acknowledged and instructed to wait for the cake, I proceeded to witness walk-ins who arrived after me all get served preferentially. The person managing the front didn't seem in any way to attempt to follow up on my cake order while she served customers who arrived after me.

I was standing at the front continuing to wait the entire time, until the next walk-in customer gestured that she thought I was next in line. The person managing the front then went to the back, finished the decorations for my cake, and brought it out. I had ended up waiting about 25 minutes, on a Christmas Eve when most establishments were closing early, and it disrupted the rest of my day.

I could have forgotten all of this, but I didn't receive even a simple apology or acknowledgement for the wait.

This place still provides high quality desserts, but their customer service has room for improvement.

Main Street Bakery & Catering is amazing! Their food is incredible, especially their quesabirrias - the best I've had (as an official Mexican-born and raised). Luz and Marco are fantastic owners, and their service is top-notch. I highly recommend them for both catering and their delicious bakery items.
I know Marco and Luz personally, and I can vouch for their dedication to quality.

I recently visited this bakery for a graduation cake I was specific and clear of what I wanted. Not to mention the cake I order was super simple a white butter cream cake with a gold drip on top. When I saw the cake I was shock and disgusted of how bad it looked. I was so embarrassed to put this cake on my dessert table I was truly embarrassed for anyone to see my cake it looked like a five year old did it. The price of 315 clearly did not match the quality of the cake. I will never go back to this bakery again.

I ordered a half sheet birthday cake and a dozen cupcakes for my daughter’s 9th birthday 🎂 the cake was vanilla with raspberries cupcakes were chocolate with raspberry filling. Everyone love it and kept asking where I ordered it from. I definitely recommend Main Street Bakery! Very good quality bakery.
