Village Baking Company & Cafe

I love this little bakery. It’s so good, I don’t live in town but every time I get a chance to, I stop by when I visit my GF. I have never been disappointed, it’s so good. I told my girlfriend that if we have a big wedding, they are forsure getting the business for the cake. Any birthday cake or occasion, they have my business. Will forever recommend them

I had my daughter's baby shower cake made here. Gabby helped me get my vision across to a T & their very talented cake "artist" added his own touches making it beautiful, receiving many compliments by our guests & most importantly the guest of honor. I chose a woodland creatures theme for a 12" round cake. Frosting was delicious. The added customer service by phone/text with Gabby helped confirm & put me at ease when it came to the cake design placements. It was my first time ordering a cake from here & it won't be my last! Thank you also to the owner & managers for reaching out as well in regards to other matters. Recommended

We live in Las Vegas and needed something special for a very important client in Modesto. We came across Village Baking Company & Cafe and are so glad we did. Maria and Gabby were amazing super friendly, professional, and made the whole process easy. Even though we were ordering over the phone and coordinating a pickup through our client’s partner, everything was handled smoothly and on time. The execution was flawless, and our client was thrilled with the birthday surprise. Really appreciate the attention to detail and great service. Would absolutely use them again!

What a gem in Modesto's McHenry Village. We come here for brunch. Their assortment of quiche is wonderful, and delicious, as is the coffee and tea. Josie, behind the counter listens. She is always pleasant and patience with each customer. Josie helped to make our experience at the Village Bakery a pleasant one.

This is a hard review to write. Village Baking company was a special place for me as a child, and was my first job in highschool. For decades had the highest quality pastries and was instrumental in starting me off on my journey of baking, pastry and food in general.. Service: 5/5 Food quality: 2/5 Price: a little on the high side for what we got Josephine was very kind and helpful, and patient as we slowly made our selections. The food items we ordered were: Apple Tart: 5/5 -- this was good, nicely textured tart shell, thinly sliced apples and flavor was great. Apricot Pocket and Raspberry Pocket: 5/5 -- Both were fresh, light flakey pastry and the just right amount of fruit filling. Blueberry Muffin: 5/5 -- fresh, moist inside of the muffin, nice crisp/crumbly streusel topping. Chocolate Chip Muffin: 4/5 -- yummy, semisweet chocolate chips and nice texture. A bit more dry than the blueberry. Cranberry Pecan Scone: 3/5 -- lovely fresh scone - although I had ordered an almond scone and had been looking forward to an almond scone for months! I didn't check the box until I got home and noticed it was the wrong flavor. The cranberry pecan scone was fresh, moist yet crumbly and the classic scone texture. It was good, just not what I had ordered. Almond Bear Claw: 1/5 -- this was a disappointment. The bear claw has no glaze on the outside of the pastry leaving it dry and not quit sweet enough. I cut into the pastry to see how the filling was. The almond paste inside the pastry was thick, and I was so excited to see that! However it was maybe only 20% pure almond paste and the rest was some kind of filler that was not almond paste. The almond flavor was almost non existent. The actual pastry dough was average quality. Similar to Panera or any other chain bakery.

I was lucky enough to get a cake from them and it was delicious

Ordered a custom cake for my sons birthday, he is a huge Dexter fan so I tried to look for a bakery that can provide this for my son. I told them my ideas and sent them the picture and wow it came out so good!! My son loved it, it was just perfect.
