Edelweiss Bakery

My fiancé & I recently did our cake testing there for our wedding. They make BEAUTIFUL & delicious cakes. Stacy was so helpful & answered ALL my questions! She made it such a fun experience!
My only wish is that they could come up with a way to make the Edelweiss cake as an option for a wedding cake. (Seriously, if you can come up with a way before 10÷29÷16 let me know!) ;)

We’re happy we got them for our civil wedding on the last minute. Stacy and Briana were so wonderful to talk to and the cake tasting was fantastic. We wanted all the flavors lol but ended up with white raspberry chocolate + butter crème frosting. Our guests love it!

Went here for the 1^st time in April. I ordered my birthday cake, it came out so beautiful and delicious! Love this bakery! Everything is so good. And now my family and I go here once a week

I can’t thank Edelweiss Bakery enough! I called with very little time to spare for my sons high school graduation. They knew I was panicked and upset. He said you tell me when you need it and we will get you something for your special event. They made a delicious beautifully decorated giant cookie for my sons graduation. Thank you!

Lynn was so helpful from the very beginning of our meeting. I had brought a black and white pencil drawing of the cake I designed for my son’s wedding. The theme was Alice In Wonderland. His new bride, Chelsea, is a costume designer and she hand made both their wedding outfits. I wanted their cake to be spectacular and reflect the creativity in our family. After a five to ten minute discussion and price and taste of their cake– I was sold! She even added in her own touch, since she was a fan of the theme! We were delighted. But, when my sister brought the cake in– I was amazed! It was everything I hoped and more. She picked the perfect shade of blue, even made it shimmery! She added the cards to round out my design. I got the cake topper from Etsy. It all matched wonderfully. It took me some time to post (the wedding was April 21, 2016) the photographers just posted all the pics yesterday to their Facebook page. Again, can’t thank them enough for all their help and excitement in making this day perfect for my family!

I loved my experience here at edelweiss while choosing my wedding cake. I was helped by Stacy and she made the cake tasting so fun! I 100% recommend coming here if you are looking for a place that does wedding cakes. I did not feel rushed at all, and will definitely be coming back.

We use Edelweiss for almost all of our office dessert needs. They have such a good selection of delectable sweets, it’s really hard to be disappointed. They’ve done a great job catering for us (packing us large trays of mini treats), and their prices are very reasonable.
I am rarely the pick-​up guy that gets to head down into the store, but it’s probably a good thing. I’d have a hard time holding myself back from all of the goodness in here. Glad they’re open early.
Check this place out & keep it up, Edelwiess!

Edelweiss had delivered cakes to a few weddings I’ve worked and they’re prompt and professional. I have ordered 3-​tier cakes from them for two big birthday parties in my family. They are not as sweet as some cakes I’ve tasted but still so delicious.
Stacy helped me yesterday order my moms 60^th birthday cake and she was super helpful and very cheerful! Exactly what you would expect from someone working at a bakery. She has such a happy personality! Thanks Stacy for your help!

A friend introduced me to Edelweiss when I met her up in RB for a lunch date. It was my fiancé’s birthday and she recommended I pop in there, as they have awesome cakes and desserts. I was blown away. Their desserts are incredibly fresh and flavorful — I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and it all left me salivating. I brought home a couple slices of cake, an éclair, and a lemon bar for my fiancé and he was in heaven.
It was a no brainer, then, that we decided to have Edelweiss do our wedding cake! We scheduled a tasting about a month later. Our experience was top-​notch. The girl who assisted us was so sweet. She was incredibly upbeat and excited for us, bringing us eight different amazing tasters along with coffee and their book of cake designs to peruse. We settled on a choice in about 20 minutes; honestly, there was no need for us to go anywhere else to taste. And the price was incredible. We would have easily paid double to get a cake from a high-​end, trendy boutique bakery that I don’t believe would have even measured up in terms of taste. Edelweiss is truly a gem!

We ordered my little one’s birthday cake from Edelweiss recently. Even though Edelweiss was not my first choice, I am so happy with the cake we got from here!
We were a little clueless about the whole process of ordering a cake. But Mandy (the head baker ?) was very patient and helpful. With his suggestions, we decided on a white cake with Bavarian cream and strawberry preserve filling. And to go with the birthday theme, we chose a pink buttercream rosette design.
The cake was a big hit! We got so many compliments on how beautiful it looked and how delicious it tasted.
Our cake cost almost 100 $ which seems pricey. But it is good for 40 people. At $ 2.50 per slice, it is not bad at all.
Great cake and great customer service! Five stars all the way! Will definitely recommend Edelweiss for all events!

Easy 5 stars! Family vote was 3 votes for 5 stars. Wife says good authentic good flavors and I agree. Found on our way to wildlife park on family vacation. If we lived closer we would be regulars enough they would know our names and probably just have things set aside for us. Cinnamon rolls made in a mini pie dish.

My three-​tier wedding cake was delicious. Everyone raved about it. Each tier was a different flavor– Bavarian crème with raspberry, chocolate mousse and lemon with raspberry — and each was scrumptious. The cake also looked beautiful. The design was exactly what I ordered — ivory with swiss dots and ivory ribbon circling every tier — and the personnel who delivered the cake decorated it with flowers the florist had left, as I had requested.
The tasting was also a great experience. We were even given a box of cakes to take home when we ordered our cake.

We ordered a 4-​tier wedding cake for our special day on March 19^th. The cake was absolutely beautiful to the eyes and absolutely delicious to the tastebuds! (See attached photo) From the sample tasting all the way up to the delivery… Customer service was superb. Lynn, the owner personally contacted me when they moved their store to solely the Rancho Bernardo location. She assured me that everything will go smoothly and not to worry. (I worried anyways because I lived out of state) We chose red velvet, my fave & lemon for his fave. The choices may seem simple but the cakes were everything but ordinary. Full of flavor & fluff. We are beyond happy that we chose Edelweiss Bakery for our wedding cake. And we would recommend them to anyone we know that’s getting married… Maybe my sister is next :)
Thank you so much! The Fords

Love edelweiss bakery. I’ve ordered birthday cakes from here and other goodies as well– never disappointed.
Today we ordered funfetti cupcakes, marble cake, red velvet cake, and cannolis. Service and food was terrific.
Will be back.

Step inside & feast your eyes on desserts galore!
This was one of the places I would go to during my high school off roll periods. It definitely brought back memories when my friends & I came 6 years later! The desserts are still as fresh & delicious & the service was wonderful.
Anything almond is great, get the Almond Squares! Order a bag of Pecan Lumps, you will thank me! There is a variety of cakes, why choose one when you can get a 5 different slices!

My fiancée and I scheduled an appointment with edelweiss for our cake tasting for our wedding.
Came in and saw stacey. Quickly sat us down and gave us water. Showed is a wedding book of designs. And brought us a sample tray (see pic)
Wow-​easy and painless. Stacey was the most easiest person to work with. Very professional and personable. She made the cake tasting fun. Even though though the shop was getting steady foot traffic. she still managed to keep checking up on us. If I could rate her customer service on a scale of 1 to 10(10 being the highest) it would be an 11. Kudos to you Stacey for making this part of our planning easy.
Pricing at edelweiss is affordable. yet the product is superb. The flavor of cakes we selected for our wedding Bavarian cream and rasberry and marble french choco chip. Of the 7. we chose those two.
We were able to price out for 275 people. With a 3 tiered cake. My fiancée and I were very pleased and walked out with a smile. I would recommend this place to the up n coming wedd-​sters and give this place a shot. Family owned and operated since a-​long time ago.

First time trying to buy pastries/​cake here myself and I was sad to find out they were no longer (conveniently located in MM Mall). But I made the drive to RB and was impressed by their bright & roomy location. I got there probably about 10 minutes before closing and instead of trying to hurry me with my purchases — they told me to take my time. The lovely lady behind the counter took her time explaining the different cakes & costs to me. Gave me her recommendations & was just generally all around great to work with.
I was indecisive & trying to text someone for confirmations on the cake choice (I know I was being rude) — but she was very patient and understanding about it. She recommended a White Chocolate Raspberry Bavarian cream cake and let me know it was fabulous. I took her on her suggestion and grabbed that cake & half a dozen cannolis, an éclair & a brownie. EVERYTHING I got was fantastic. The cake (and I don’t even like raspberry) was sooo good. It was not too sweet and the cake was moist & the raspberry bavarian cream was rich and fresh but not too sweet.
The customer service was so fantastic (and the desserts were so great) i will def make the drive up to RB for more! Thank you Edelweiss for making this such an easy & wonderful experience.

By far best bakery in San Diego!!! We go here for any family occasions to pick up pastries and cake. They have the most divine pastries and being from the east coast this is saying a lot.

Luv this place but I m very partial 2 n e thing German. Pastries r always fresh & reasonably priced. Baked goods such as strudels, cakes, cookies, breads, etc., r lower n sugar than n e American sweets, but have 10 times the flavor. Staff r usually friendly. This is the best German bakery n town. There is another place n North County where u can get a limited selection of German baked goods & that’s n Tip Top meats & grocery n Carlsbad. Look 4 the Hädrichs label inside the store. But 4 the best overall selection of high quality German bakery items, Edelweiss can’t b beat.

Edelweiss created our wedding cake from a sketch I gave them, it was exactly what I imagined and even better than I expected! They advised me not to use fondant because of the taste, so they did a smooth shimmer buttercream frosting — the entire cakes flavor was perfect, fresh and delicious we got tons of compliments. We ate the top of our wedding cake at our 1 year anniversary, after freezing it the entire
our surprise it still tasted delicious! Definitely a great wedding cake bakery who I recommend to all of my friends. The images they show in store and online are outdated but bring in a sketch or photo of what you want and they can do it! The cake artist is amazing.

Came by to check out the location. It’s cute, small and humble. Looked family owned which is a plus for me.
They have a pretty decent display case for bakery selections. Also seemed to get really good business so it can get a little crowded to peruse all the goodies in the displays. Service was polite but mediocre at best (at least toward me and my husband). when a co-​worker and his family came in. they were alight with joy and service towards them in blatant juxtaposition. Shrugs. didn’t bother me too much. except seemed like the lady was just eager to get done with us and get us out. Meh.
We mostly bought for a friend and took a few home for ourselves. Overall the goodies aren’t overly sweet which I liked. Carrot cake was unique. tasty but nothing to write home about. Red velvet was rich. also tasty. not sure if the outside coating was cream cheese but it was like a weird white chocolate like coating (also just OK). Cheese cake was the most unique. it was not your standard ny cheesecake. but a cake with a creamy cheese-​based center. Not too sweet and probably my favorite of the three. There were lots of other tasty treats that I refrained myself from buying. and I would have loved to try more. Seemed like they were very popular for the bigger cakes.
3.5 ish in my book. Wavered between marking 3 or 4 stars but felt inclined toward the 3 stars when recalling the service experience. Not bad overall but not my favorite bakery in the area. Prices are competitive. not super cheap. but not exorbitant. I might return if I were in the area. but have other places that I prefer. The cakes are tasty and they have a good selection of treats so definitely worth coming by. Might try them again in the future.

We loved this bakery’s cookies that’s why we decided to order our engagement cake from them but unfortunately we didn’t have a good experience. First of all, we gave them the flowers couples days before the ceremony but we got the cake without the decoration and when we asked them why? They didn’t know where the flowers are and how they have to decorate it, second, the cake had too much cream and icing instead of the cake so it was not pleasant to eat and none of our guests liked the cake.

This was my first time trying Edelweiss Bakery, and boy am I glad I did. I needed a smash cake for my daughter’s first birthday, and I got so busy during the holidays that I forgot to order one until about 4 days before the party. Most other places that I looked at required 2 – 4 weeks advanced notice for a custom order cake. I called Gerry, and he made me a beautiful and delicious cake for a great price with only two days notice.
Everyone I worked with was so kind and helpful. I will definitely be coming here again for my cakes and baked goodies!

Spontaneously came across this bakery last Saturday, while waiting on my fiancé. Wonderful find! All of the pastries looked great, and great customer service. To no help, I completely forgot the name of the pastry and cookies I purchased but they both were delicious. I Would highly recommended!

My husband and I didn’t have much interest in visiting multiple bakeries for cake tastings. With a longer than usual engagement, this gave me the opportunity to do my research. Edelweiss was our first and only cake tasting and we booked the same day. We selected them because of their reasonable costs, and experience accessing military installations.
Manny assisted us with our cake tasting. He welcomed us, offered coffee, brought out the samples, and went over the flavors with us. We looked at a binder of their different designs, discussed pricing and options, and at no point did we ever feel pressured by him. There are additional costs for fondant, detailed designs, etc.
We decided on the «basic» three-​tiered cake and a ¼ sheet cake for 120 guests. We chose three flavors:
— White sponge cake, bavarian cream, with rasberry filling
— Lemon poundcake, white chocolate mousse, and rasberry filling
— Chocolate sponge cake with chocolate mousse
The cake was a hit! We received so many compliments from our guests. My friend even told me «I don’t even like cake, and but I ate yours up.» Luckily, there was extra leftover at the end of the night that we were able to take home and enjoy for the next couple of days.

Absolutely scrumptious!
My first experience here was enjoying a beautifully crafted fresh mango tart. Everything I’ve tried is delicately decorated and delicious.

Omg I can’t even describe how good it is! I wanted to buy everything here, but settled for the éclair, fruit tart, and a peanut butter cake slice. Everything was mouthwatering. A member in my party — who is not too big on sweets — loved the fruit tart!
Even though I went closer to closing, they still had a HUGE and varied selection of goodies to pick from. It makes me so sad when I walk into a bakery and it is barren. Walking in here made me salivate!
I was surprised by how affordable it is, too. I am in the Carlsbad area and would drive out of my way to come here.

This place is amazing. An impressive selection of baked goods, all made in-​house. Customer service is very friendly and relaxed, but still efficient. The pastries beat any chain I’ve ever been to hands down, and (more amazing still!) at half the price you’d expect.
On my first visit, I got a bag full of goodies: hamentaschen, 2 honey raisin bars, 4 almond macaroons, and some ridiculous thing involving crispy puff pastry and buttercream frosting… All for about $ 10. Seriously, check this place out!

Flawless experience! From the consultation to the final product — everything was outstanding. I loved our cake! From the look to the taste. So pretty and so delicious. Many guests complimented the taste, too! We’ll buy our anniversary cakes here for sure. XOXO THANK You Edelweiss bakery!!! PS — the other items that they had displayed at the store also looked so yummy!

All I can say is WOW! There customer service won me as a costumer for life! They did my wedding cake and someone was supposed to go pick up my cake. Well the employees began getting nervous that someone forgot to pick up so they actually DELIVERED it to my venue! They called to get the information in what room I had Booked!!! I was soooo ecstatic I couldn’t believe how sweet that was of them!!! When I spoke to them they said they didn’t want me to stress about my cake on my wedding day!!! so cool!

Man, these Edelweiss folks are friendly! I mean genuine, super-​friendly and not that typical Cali faux friendly either. I dropped by on a late Friday afternoon to pick up some sweets. You ever walk into a bakery and find their shelves empty? Well, Edelweiss definitely doesn’t have that problem. Their display cases were chock full of sweet desserts, cakes, cookies, pastries, etc., and on a late Friday afternoon too. Everything looked fresh and delicious.
I think it’s awesome that they sell so many different varieties of individual cake slices so you can try a little bit of everything without having to commit to a full cake. Maybe it’s a weird guy thing but I hate committing to a full cake of one flavor. Variety is the spice of life.
Anyways, the individual cake slices were moist, flavorful, and not too sweet. Their Opera slice was wicked good.
This place is tucked away in a shopping plaza and isn’t visible from the street so keep your eyes out for it or just google map it on your phone. What a fantastic little mom and pop bakery. I’ll definitely be back.

What a hidden gem! The owner is a sweet little lady from Brooklyn, baking real deal cakes, pastries and hard to find items.
They have everything from challah bread to eclairs, german apple rings to wedding cakes. Prices are great too!

How did I forget to write a review for one of San Diego’s best specialty bakeries?! My mom used to buy birthday cakes for my brother and I each year until we were adults!
My wife and I chose them to make our wedding cake… Enough said?!
Their cakes are so delicious and just the perfect amount of sweet.
The fruit and icing are always on point.
He associates that work at this location are very friendly and patient. It takes time to choose exactly what you want for any occasion.
If you’re in the market for a cake, this is the place to visit. You will be a long time customer once you try your first cake or slice.

My family loves Edelweiss European Bakery in Rancho Bernardo and has been coming here for years. Every time my grandma picks up her dry cleaning (next door), she stops in for her favourite cannolis!
Edelweiss offers a wide assortment of pastries that have never let me down. We typically order cannolis and Napoleon pastries. Of note, the cannolis at this bakery are French cannolis, not Italian.
There are a few tables available for those who wish to pop in for a treat. Their prices are comparable with other bakeries and the staff are very sweet. All in all, they keep us coming back.
Verdict:
We’re loyal patrons of Edelweiss European Bakery in RB.

Our Beautiful wedding cake was made here, in partnership with mariott la jolla… our wedding was a few years back… the location of the bakery is somewhat hidden. the bakery itself is a little small.
we were able to sample various combinations during the tasting appointment. we were able to check out samples from previous cakes they’ve done, but were totally cooperative with custom requests. i’m not a huge fan of fondant, so they were able to use regular buttercream frosting to ice the cake, and it was flawless. fondant was just used as draping, and it was beautiful. i provided the ribbon they used as trimming, to match the theme of our wedding.
the cake itself was tasty. vanilla with raspberry filling… also carrot cake with lots of texture.

We usually order cakes from Paris Baguette or 85 Degree Bakery for special occasions and haul it wherever we go. We were visiting our friends in San Diego this past weekend, and we thought we would purchase something fresh closer to their house. We Unilocaled and Edleweiss had a very good rating. So, we stopped by here on a hot Saturday afternoon.
Pros:
1) Very helpful and knowledgeable employees (+1)
2) $ 10.00 less than a similar cake from 85 Degree Bakery. $ 20.00 for a cake here whilst it would be at least $ 30.00 at the bakeries we usually go to. (+1)
3) Our friends loved the cake we got for them.
Cons:
1) Decorations on the cake fell apart by the time our friends opened the cake :((-1)
Our friends love this place and order from here frequently.
