The Good Stuff
Fast Turnaround
One difficult custom cake was completed within two hours, making the bakery useful for genuine last-minute celebrations.
Reliable Delivery
Several customers report punctual delivery, including a birthday order arriving around 4:50 for a requested 5pm delivery.
Late Availability
A late-night visit produced several half-kilo cake choices despite the short notice.
Chocolate Favourites
Chocolate truffle, hazelnut chocolate and triple chocolate brownies receive particularly detailed praise for flavour and texture.
Cozy Setting
The branch has a clean, welcoming, cozy atmosphere, though its limited seating suits smaller visits better than big groups.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Sponge. If you prefer less cream, confirm the cake-to-cream balance before ordering; one fruit-cake customer received mostly cream.
Share References. Send the reference image and confirm the final design and message placement, since one customer said the decoration covered the message.
Try Brownies. For a small, inexpensive treat, try the hazelnut or triple chocolate brownie; reviewers found them small but notably flavourful.
Small Groups. Choose a smaller party for dine-in because seating is limited and may not work well for big groups.
Ask Availability. If you need a cake at short notice, ask what is ready in-store: one late-night visit found multiple half-kilo choices.

The Bottom Line
Cakes and Bakes Bakery LLC in Al Nahda is mainly a celebration-cake stop, with customers ordering birthday cakes, corporate designs and last-minute custom pieces. Chocolate truffle, hazelnut chocolate and butterscotch cakes are recurring favourites, while the bakery also sells brownies, tiramisu, pastries and Pakistani sweets. Its cozy, clean atmosphere makes a small dine-in visit possible, though seating is limited.
The strongest pattern is convenience. Online and WhatsApp orders are repeatedly described as smooth, and deliveries have arrived on time or slightly early; one surprise birthday order reached the customer at 11:45pm for a midnight celebration. A late-night customer also found several half-kilo cakes available, and another reported a complex custom design completed within two hours.
Cake design is often a real strength: reviews mention neat execution, accurate reference images and even a company logo reproduced in its original colours. Still, specifications deserve a careful check. Some customers received cakes with excessive cream, a design that differed from the reference, or a sponge that released water when cut.
Confirm the filling-to-sponge balance, decoration and message placement before paying. For smaller treats, the 5-dirham brownie is a practical pick, while the San Sebastian cheesecake gets mixed feedback: one reviewer loved it, another found it bland with orange flavouring.
