Where to Buy a Cake Near Campus?

<p>Does anyone know???</p>

<p>Virginia Bakery, Virginia x Shattuck (a couple blocks north of Hearst, west campus), probably has cakes.</p>

<p>What do you need it for and what time frame?</p>

<p>Thanks! My daughter's looking for a birthday cake. I'll pass on the info.</p>

<p>Ah. Yeah. They'll be the best bet unless she's looking to take a trip to Oakland. There aren't a whole lot of bakeries around here, and none of the grocery stores have their own.</p>

<p>If she doesn't fancy them (they might be expensive), she could try the Andronico's down Telegraph, as they often have a few kinds of cakes. They tend to be smaller and less birthday-y, though, running along the decadent scale.</p>

<p>The Lucky's (used to be Albertson's) right next to El Cerrito BART actually makes pretty good birthday cakes.</p>

<p>The Bread Garden (?) next to Peet's coffee near the Claremont Hotel makes cakes I think. Andronico's Grocery store probably makes cakes- they have two locations in Berkeley, one on Telegraph. If they do not, they will be able to tell you who does. Ask for the bakery when you call.</p>

<p>im surprised no one mentioned Carvel's off bancroft. Its next to Jamba juice. My friends go there often for birthday cake (tastes pretty good too, ice cream yum)</p>
