Merritt Bakery - Oakland

My favorite cake since I was a child. blessed by my daughter with my round strawberry shortcake. the best cake I ever had.

Today 28JUL2020, approx. 1450h I'm looking for a dream cake, a small section left, 2 dream cakes, a few others, a few slices. Store was empty, an employee said apology, we're closed. I looked at her like what? We'll be back in 20 minutes. I'm looking for a shield, not. Go out, look for every sign, just the open one that was illuminated.

The fresh strawberry cake is SO GOOD! I only have one piece, but I should have recovered. ANNEX The service was also great, I don't know what these bad reviews are talking about. Go!

The chicken is still pretty good. But I ordered the potatoes as my side. They were terrible. As if made from a box. If you spend $40.00 for fried chicken, the pages should also be delicious.

1. That strawberry shortcake! When I walked in there wasn't any shortcake in the display so the young lady went to the back to go get some. When I tell you the strawberry shortcake and the lemon cupcake barely made it home I mean it! The shortcake was so fresh it literally fell apart, and melted in my mouth. The tastiest strawberry shortcake I've had by far! 2. The customer service. The owner was there and a homeless man walked in and he was so kind towards him. This I don't see alot, or have not witnessed at all by a store owner. Most businesses shew the homeless person away if they are not buying anything. I was glad as I watched this business owner treat the poor man like good friend. A very pleasing sight indeed! 3. The young ladies working the counter were very friendly and smiling, and I can see why. Great management, great desserts, and delicious food! 4. I will continue to support this business knowing that I'm supporting a business that truly cares about people, and the energy that they put into the cuisine and the community. P.S. I'm coming back for a whole strawberry shortcake!!
