"Review is for their custom cakes!
My buddy's son just had a birthday and I was blown away by the cake
they had. It was his son's actual picture on the cake! Very clear shot
too. I got the name of this bakery through him and decided to order
my son's graduation cake from here as well.
I was BLOWN AWAY! People at my son's graduation dinner were
all blown away . We didn't even want to cut the cake because it was
sooo nicely done!! (check out the pix I attached) but in the end,
someone had to eat it. Cake was very good with whip cream frosting
and strawberry filing. There were other flavors for filing like
Tiramisu!
Service from this place was exceptional as well.
Great job on your custom cakes!
Definitely recommend this bakery for cakes!"

"... I have served 2 of their "custom cakes" and

"My maid of honor ordered my bridal shower cake from C'esti Bon
and again they did an amazing job. We ordered a two tier berry cake
enough for 100 people and we had 65 guests. Just say nothing was
left. Everyone went for seconds! The best Cake place in town..
Cant wait to see what my wedding cake is going to look like!!!
Check out pictures of my engagement cake and bridal shower cake!"

"I really like this bakery, all of it's little delights make it sooo cute!
All is the food is sooo good as well, so the next time you are in San
Jose stop by C'est Si Bon and have a cupcake that is like out of this
world!!"
Max S. Cupertino, CA 1/20/2009
"C'est Si Bon is a delightful treat for anyone with a sweet tooth! I

decorated but hands down the best cake I have ever eaten!"

delicious, and overall, it was to our specifications."

"Sepi and Mark Zangeneh have an excellent product (people are still
raving about the wedding cake--the best they've ever had)--and we had
a number of calls about the wedding that also specifically mentioned
the cake. Just this evening, over three months since the wedding, a
guest mentioned how delicious the cake was at Joy's wedding!
The Zangenehs are flexible -- welcoming our ideas about what we
wanted with Sepi roughly sketching everything out to make certain
we were all clear. They were happy to give us exactly what we'd hoped
--a multi-tiered cake with each tier consisting of two vanilla layers
filled with whipped cream and strawberries and two chocolate layers
filled with fudge and raspberries -- and a swiss buttercream to join the
chocolate layers to the vanilla layers and to frost and join the tiers.
The cake had to be delivered to the Marines' Memorial Club in San
Francisco, and not only did it arrive on time (despite the Chinese
New Year parade about to begin) but was assembled with sureness
and care, simply finished so that the florist was able to arrange the
flowers on the layers.
C'est Si Bon Bakers have not only skill but personal warmth. The
Zangenehs are detail-oriented while being gracious, professional
while being welcoming. My daughter has been to so many weddings
in the past ten years and none of the cakes were flavorful. She was
determined that when she was married the cake would not only be
lovely to look at but delicious as well. We certainly came to the right
place when we went to C'est Si Bon: the cake they created was not
only beautiful, elegant, and tasty; it was made with love. What a
wonderful way to begin a marriage.
We could not recommend C'est Si Bon more highly."

"re: CUSTOM CAKE
I e-mailed a photo (FIRST FABULOUS THING!) to them, and got an almost
immediate reply. YES, they could do it from the less than sharp image I sent,
YES, they could do it in just a few days, YES, YES, YES (SECOND
FABULOUS THING!).
I went in that afternoon and Sepi helped me. You can tell they are experts,
extremely cordial, while still professional. Sepi gave me a spoonful of the
vanilla custard filling for the cake and I almost went unconscious, it was THAT
good!
I just picked up the cake and it's PERFECT (THIRD FABULOUS THING).
The bridal shower is tomorrow and I have no doubt everyone will rave
(FOURTH FABULOUS THING!); I'll be back with a follow up.
The owners are cordial, warm, and yet professional. The cake was expensive,
but worth every penny to match exactly what I needed (you can't put a price on
it!)
Ce n'est pas simplement "si bon", c'est vraiment TRES, TRES BON!"
Erika M. San Jose, CA 6/12/2009
"Luv, luv their service!
The cake was beyond perfect for my husband's bday.
He just loved the decoration of his other girl Salma Hayek on it. It
was so well done, he didn't wanted to share the cake with the rest of
the guests. It was so funny.
Thanks C'est Si Bon."

If you know your cakes then you have to know this is the best bakery in all of
San Jose. I have been purchasing cakes for myself as well as for our
company annual parties for about 10 years here. Mark & his family own this
wonderful bakery. because it is a family owned bakery the customer service is
top notch! The cakes are exquisite! This last Saturday I picked up 2 birthday
cakes, 1 was white with fresh strawberries & the other was chocolate cake
with fresh strawberries & custard filling. The cake was delicious & moist &
the fruit was very fresh. The Hawaiian cake is also to die for! YUMM! You
have to check out his website he has a huge selection of beautiful and
creative cakes for baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays & every occasion.
The cakes are so creative..my next cake the Patron Tequila bottle ..shaped
cake :0)
I always get asked where in the world I bought the cake from...and am happy
to say C' est Si Bon ask for Mark. He will take good care of you.
Yemi San Jose, CA 9/14/2009
Great cake....even better service!!!
I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen and needless to say
I changed my mind many, many times which should have been frustrating
for Mark.....instead he patiently crafted two cakes for us which were delicious
and beautiful....

I have to say that C'est Si Bon Bakery including Sepi
and her husband are the best. Not only that you finally
see something different from other boring bakeries and cafes that serve the
same things you can have anywhere else. It's so nice you can finally see
variety of unique sweets and pastry.
I've ordered my wedding cake from C'est Si Bon Bakery and was very
satisfied. Sepi helped me so much with my demands and made everything so
easy. What I really liked about Sepi was her honesty and that she wasn't
pushy at all. The Cake was beautiful and so tasty like no others. I would
definitely recommend this place from bottom of my heart.

I live across the street, so I will stop by on occasion when
I'm fiending for baked treats.
I'll usually buy some cookies and a small cake-like item, and they are always
spectacular. I just had a little white cake, with cream and raspberry filling, with
chocolate on top. I...meant to take a picture, but I ate it too fast -_-
Also, and this is one of the most important things to me, the people who run this
place are really just nice folks. They always greet me warmly, are very nice to
talk to, and are very helpful. Sometimes I come in and just get a cookie, and I
feel as if they'd be as happy to serve had I bought 50 cakes.
If I ever have to buy some super cake, I definitely will be coming here.
They play really cool music here too ;)

This is my family's go to bakery. We've ordered many cakes
from here and have never been disappointed. The cakes are
usually on the lighter side, as in not overly sweet, but moist, flavorful and
elegantly presented.
The owners are a friendly Iranian couple, and they make plenty of great Persian
cookies as well. We recently picked up a few boxes of these and I enjoyed all
the ones I sampled- fresh and delicious. I definitely would recommend to all
those who are looking for a place to buy their sweets for the upcoming Persian
New Year (or if you're just in the mood for dessert)
Prices are reasonable and customer service is great.

Wow...where do I start...
I had heard rave reviews about C'est si bon bakery and wanted to try them for
our wedding cake. I must say the reviews don't do Sepideh and her husband
(owners) justice. They are much nicer than any person can tell you. They are
the nicest people you can run into...always smiling and putting you at ease when
you are so stressed about the wedding planning. The cake and services where
superb! Sepideh provided our wedding cake and also Persian sweets for our
wedding. I thought I was being smart by ordering about 10 lbs extra (so that we
would have leftovers at home) the persian sweets were finished!! (A testament
to her awesome baking talent) Our wedding cake was a hit too. I took a picture
of a cake I had seen (for my wedding) and asked her if she can make the
design.She said she will try and she made the cake even more beautiful than
the picture itself.
I have since gone back multiple times for birthday cakes, persian sweets, or
just to see her vibrant smile.
Prices are also very reasonable. They have a very detailed website where you
can get a pretty good idea about your cost ahead of time.
This is the best bakery I have been to. It is quite a drive for me, but well worth
it...each and every time.
No matter what your expectations are, you are in for a pleasant surprise.

This bakery is a small, family owned business. The owners
are ALWAYS friendly.
They are also great with cake decorating, and I highly recommend for any cake
needs!
P H. Denton, TX 3/9/2009
I've never tried the pastries here so I can't speak for those,
but on Sunday we ordered a custom cake from here for the
second time.
The cake (chocolate with custard) was moist and creamy, the price was very
competitive, and the service is always great! The owners are friendly and
helpful and did a great job with the piping and design work.
Will definitely be back for my future cake needs :)

you feel a warm and welcoming presence accompanied by the attentive and
more than willing to help staff. The pastries are fresh and the coffee type
beverages are delicious. This is the ideal semi boutique/neighborhood bakery,
with their assortment of cakes, it was easy picking one out of my friend John's
birthday.
If you want to chill here and have a cup of coffee/tea along with a savory crispy,
flaky pastry or just place an order for a cake; Cest si bon is great. They have a
really friendly staff that are extremely patient and helpful. Thank you guys, you
rock!

I shopped around for cakes in many different locations.
I came here a couple times once with my mom and aunts and another time with
my fiance. Both times this husband and wife team gave us a free tasting and
treated us like family. They are more than willing to satisfy all their customers
and they are extreemly creative with very reasonable pricing. Our wedding cake
was a hit and people still ask where we got it from becaused it tasted so good!

My husband and I recently got married and chose
C'est Si Bon for our wedding cake. We had tastings at
four other bakeries and not only was C'est Si Bon
reasonably priced, but had the best tasting cakes too!
Mark and Sepi are the owners, they are super sweet, helpful, and great
vendors.
At our wedding we received many compliments on how beautiful and delicious
our cake was. We had three different flavors: chocolate truffle, raspberry
mousse and tiramisu. We recommend C'est Si Bon to anyone and will always
order our cakes from them!!!

I not only order our family's cakes and pastries from this bakery but for the past
