Rubicon Bakery

Got their strawberries and cream cupcakes at Clark’s in Chino. Perfectly sweet, cream-​filled AND only $ 1 for a hand crafted cupcake! You can’t beat that! My new favorite cupcakes. Furthermore, the company employs the formerly homeless and incarcerated, which is awesome! I’ll be getting a whole bunch for a b-​day party.
Update: Had their chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting today and they’re soooo good. Super chocolaty and super moist, not too sweet. Super delish!

Bought one of their carrot cakes at New Leaf in Half Moon Bay. Total disappointment. Cake part was compact and tasteless. Frosting, way too much and way too sweet. Four of us tried it and no one liked it. Second half still sitting in fridge a week later.

I started buying the cupcakes at Whole Foods this week.
WHOA… that is all I can say. They are copying the «Hostess»
desserts from many years ago. However, they took the
artificial ingredients out.
These cupcakes are SO moist. I stopped buying Rubicon
cakes years ago. Had a couple of dry cakes and I just
stopped purchasing them. Well, I am back!!! Not sure if they
do cakes.
I love the concept of Rubicon.
WOW, if I could do 6 stars, I would!!! Seriously the best cupcakes ever.

Amazing cupcakes. I have had them twice now, once from a friend and once from Safeway, including the lemon and chocolate truffle varieties. They are just the right size, great filling and frosting, and delicious cake. And the price is right. I can’t wait to have more!

I’ve had their good yummiest before! Are they still in business??? Tried calling 2 different ph#‘s. that were disconnected:((

We bought the cupcakes from whole foods. They were moist, and delicious. Bought it for a birthday party for our son. We shopped around for cupcakes and most places that sold them were really expensive or they were not that good. While we were shopping we saw tees bad boys and tried them out. We had one of each flavor and loved every bite. They weren’t big and they were a dollar each.

I am a big fan of the chocolate cake, rich, moist overall delicious. Having purchased this many times for dinner parties and birthdays, I was quite confident that the carrot cake would be just as good. I was pleased with my find as I placed the cake in my basket, on the label I noticed that whole wheat prominently displayed. My mind hung on this odd information for a moment, but, I disregard this. After dinner, we sit down to indulge and after a few bites I notice that the texture is not tender and moist, but dense and heavy, nothing like the chocolate cake.
Why would a baker want to make a «healthy» cake by using whole wheat?
This could be really good if Rubicon used the right flour and made a cake as it should be, a dessert not a high fiber bread.

i am so glad the rubicon bakery cakes are available again in Whole Foods!!! i am a long time fan and even though i now live in New Orleans i try and get some rubicon cakes (the bete noir is my favorite) when i am in the Bay Area. so glad to have seen them in a whole foods when back for the holidays. I hope my whole foods in new orleans will have them soon! we are currently stuck with those inferior j deserts which can’t touch good old rubicon…

I have loved Rubicon Cakes from the first time I tried them a while back. I use to get them at Whole Foods all the time, but then I didn’t see them for a while… sad. BUT now they are back in force, with a darling little mini cake, that is perfect for my family of 3. This is hands down the best Chocolate cake around commercially. I have a go to recipe that I love, but this bad boy rivals it any day, and when you are lazy, you could just pick up the bigger one for a birthday and decorate it your own way.
To also think that it is a fantastic company with a wonderful mission statement, makes it even better. You guys rock!!! Keep up the fantastic work you do.

Never knew Rubicons sells at Andronicos markets… as well, in the past month, Costco began stocking those triple mousse choc gateaus once more… but they’re now $ 14…what a steal for a beautiful dessert!

I work for Rubicon and I can not tell you how great the work is that our people put forth. Try the chocolate Gâteau cake!!! its so friggin delicious, and i think we used to sell it at costco! its like 3 layers of mousse. YUMMM Support this local non-​profit!

Imagine my delight when discovering that I can have my cake and eat it, too, and support non-​profit community programs at the same time. That’s Rubicon Bakery for you.
There is no carrot cake in the world to equal Rubicon’s. I think their secret ingredient is pineapple, which adds fruity sweetness and makes the cake super moist (but it’s not a strong pineapple flavor — just complimentary). The frosting is perfect, not too sweet. Few cakes, imho, can triumph over a good chocolate cake, but Rubicon’s carrot cake is da bomb.
Rubicon cakes are sold at Andronico’s, too. The cakes are moderately priced compared to high-​end bakeries and just as delicious. Even though the cakes are not Andronico-​baked cakes, the staff at Andronico’s will write a message on the cakes if you ask (and if the frosting design permits).

Most AMAZING Chocolate cake that has ever touched my lips!!! Someone shoot me, I could not stop! This is definitely a dangerous habit in development.
Not only do they use all-​natural bakery products from scratch but all proceeds support the non-​profit Rubicon Programs, a leader in community development.
How awesome is that? Indulge on dessert knowing you are helping individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area overcome economic and social hurdles. Who can ask for more??? Now you don’t have to feel all that guilty when you are stuffing your mouth with 210 calories of sinfulness!
You can purchase on line or through their retail locations. I got my lovely slice of heaven from Whole Foods.

Their cakes are soooo delicious. The Le Bete Noir is a flourless dark chocolate cake I couldn’t stop eating even though it is superrich. They sell the cakes and also marshmallows at Whole Foods. What’s really cool is they are also a job training program.
