Crixa Cakes in Berkeley


For some wonderful sweet treats, try Crixa Cakes Bakery & Cafe, located on 2748 Adeline Street, Berkeley, CA 94703. It's right around the corner from the famous Berkeley Bowl (largest produce section in California). Crixa is a Hungarian Bakery that offers some of the most well-balanced, exquisite desserts on the West Coast. Cakes, pies, cookies, tarts, fruit folds-- you name it, they do it best. They also have a fine selection of well-crafted teas, so order a pot of the Queen Mary with your Chocolate Orange Mousse Cake (shown above). For reals, it's two layers of chocolate sponge cake soaked with fragrant orange liqueur and two layers of bittersweet chocolate mousse.

Crixa Cakes is open Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 6 PM and Friday and Saturday from 9 AM to 7 PM.
