Came by to pick up a cake and grabbed an extra slice! This is inside the Gelsons store. The Viktor Benes Bakery section also serves pastries and coffees as well. We wanted to stop by for an off the shelf chocolate birthday cake. There was plenty them, from chocolate liqueur to cream to glazed outside with chocolate sponge inside. Plenty of other cakes too like Oreo and princess cakes. We actually grabbed a slice of princess as well. It has a good marzipan almond flavor but could use more cream. Only downside is no prices are displayed so we had to ask the staff the prices of each cake.

The place is very clean. Everything is delicious. We came for the melt in your mouth cookies. Yum!! Sadly the people who pack such delicious pastries seemed to be having a bad day. I got helped by two people and they were just so grumpy. I miss the smiling faces that used to work there. But, for delicious cookies I guess it doesn't matter.

Sehr gute Kuchen. Immer voll Geschmack. Glücklicherweise ist die Bäckerei innerhalb von Gelson's, wo viele Parkplätze im Angebot stehen. Great Cakes always rich in flavor. Conveniently located inside of Gelson's, where parking is abundant.

Amazing bakery and great service! I ordered a custom cake for my sister's birthday and they were able to perfectly re-create a cake I showed them on a picture. My sister loved it and it was delicious as well!

Making it rain at Victor Benes (inside the Laurel Canyon Gelsons) is not for the meek. It's pricey. But the cakes are amazing and they will make anything you can dream up on a cake. Not ready to drop a hundo? Here's two Robbie B tips: + the by-the-pound small cookies. Oh wow, there are 15 different kinds and they are awesome. Ask one of the ladies to pack an off-the-menu small box with as many cookies as she can fit in there. So buttery and fresh, and this will not break the bank. The small box is the perfect housewarming, office, I-can't-come-empty-handed gift that's cheaper than a bottle of wine, and can be enjoyed by all. Sometimes I head to Gelsons just for the small cookies, and for #2: + the black and white cookies. Half-cookie and half-cake, half chocolate and half vanilla, these cannot be beat. Remember, VB is a separate, stand-alone affair from Gelsons. You pay in there!

If I could give more stars I would!!! I had this bakery make my son's graduation cake. My son's favorite cake is there Swedish princess cake, and they were able to make that into a sheet cake. I gave them a picture for the decoration and they did a beautiful job. I couldn't have asked for more. Everyone loves the cake and commented on it at his party. Since we live in Fresno, my daughter who lives in Los Angeles had to drive it down. We weren't sure what to expect but this was far beyond what we did!!
