Let my photo speak for me. It was so beautiful I literally almost cried. Absolutely perfect and my daughter loved it. Also a heads up to any future customers, I had ordered this cake back in the beginning of May for June 8th, because I knew they'd be insanely booked out because of graduations, obviously. So just remember to give them a decent heads up, I'd say a month in advance at least. You aren't the only customer they have. Hope this helps! Thank you guys for the most perfect birthday cake! We love coming here. ♡

Absolutely Magical Cake from Beach Bum Bakery!We ordered a Frozen-themed birthday cake for our daughter’s 4th birthday, and Beach Bum Bakery absolutely nailed it! The cake was not only stunning to look at, but it truly brought the Frozen magic to life. From the beautiful Elsa and Olaf toppers to the dreamy blue-and-white ombré frosting, delicate snowflakes, and shimmering pearls — every detail was perfect. The handcrafted chocolate shards behind Elsa added such a dramatic flair, and the cake lettering was neat and charming.Beach Bum Bakery exceeded our expectations and made daughters big day even more special. Highly recommend for any themed celebration — they bring your vision to life and then some!

What a fun spot! I felt like I was back in southern California. Very cute a beachy decor. We did find out that they only do doughnuts on Saturdays and Sundays but we got some awesome cookies, a bacon egg and cheese croissant, cake pop, "pop tart", and smoothie. Everything was incredibly delicious. And there is a nice little beach right across the street! Great area to sit and watch the water or let the kids run around. Absolutely will be back!

I’ve been to Beach Bum Bakery a few times now. From the items I’ve had (donuts, cookies, cupcakes and breakfast sandwich) most items have been good. I was there recently on a weekend morning to get donuts and a breakfast sandwich. As I was there it went from just a two people in the shop to 15 people, thankfully I had ordered prior to all these people arriving. The two employees working did seem a little overwhelmed and frantic. I was able to get my donuts in a timely manner but the breakfast sandwich took about 25 minutes to get and it only had one small/thin piece of bacon on it that was torn in half.Note: the employees were very kind, I could just see the distress on their faces and they were trying to get caught up. The other times I’ve been here the service has been much quicker than what I experienced.

Beach Bum made a beautiful birthday cake for my mom on only a couple of weeks’ notice. It was not only gorgeously decorated, but also delicious. We also love their donuts! So happy with the service we received. Thank you!
