Ever since Oma Martha (Grandma Martha), now 82 years old, opened the cake shop in 1976, the business has been family run.

An extension of Oma’s house, the entrance of the bakery is a small side-door that expands into a whimsical garden trail, complete with a mini fountain. Unless you’re in the know, it will be a bit difficult to find.

The cake shop is adorned with black, white and gold aesthetics, an extensive renovation three years go making it feel a little like a high-end bakery in the upper west side of Los Angeles.
