Somerville Gourmet Cakes & Pastries

Absolutely hopeless service. Food was discussting and service extremely poor. Will never go back and I suggest you don't waste your hard earned money there either

Love this shop, great coffee and really fantastic cakes. I have had a number of cakes made and wouldnt go anywhere else now. Very creative cake designs nothing is too hard. Would highly recommend for coffee, cakes and every other baked items :)

My go to for birthday cakes! Not only do they look beautiful but they taste amazing - the lightest fluffiest sponge and cream inside. They are the first cakes where all the kids have eaten their whole slice of birthday cake - not just the icing. Highly recommend

Wonderful, kind and generous staff - provided me with a cake box when I was desperately in need. Thank you again… Next time I will stop by for a coffee and treat.

We needed cupcakes for an 18th birthday party and Somerville cakes were so so helpful our criteria had to be Scottish highland theme with loch ness monster , highland cows and scotch thistle Our expectations were surpassed not only did the look perfect but tasted fantastic 10 out of 10 for service and quality thank you Somerville cakes and pasties

Beautiful cozy place just after renovation! Cakes are just delicious,they also started to sell ice cream

Was looking forward to trying the food here after reading the reviews, but unfortunately it was the worst baked food I've ever had (as a dessert addict I've been to most bakeries/cafes in vic). I never leave negative reviews, even if deserved, but this time I couldn't ignore the bad quality. The service was great, the coffee was good, and the store itself is lovely, but as for the baked goods.. I couldn't even have a bite of my 'gourmet' cupcake as it was so stale. I could barely pull it apart due to the hard texture inside and out, not even slightly fluffy on the inside. The custard tart pastry was very over cooked and dry, and the custard filling texture was runny with an odd flavor. The carrot cake was stale and bland. Very disappointed overall. Didn't try the savory pastries unfortunately, but won't bother returning for those as $22 was enough money wasted the first time around.

Thank you for making our daughters 18th birthday cake. Looks and tastes amazing.
