Red Velvet Bakery

2/21/26: blink & you'll miss it. We did, even with Google maps. LOL! We completely missed their signage & went around the block. It's looks like a house, an unassuming house but what it has inside is utter deliciousness. :-) The parking off Central is extremely limited (maybe three spots), but as we were leaving, I saw what may be parking in the rear. I did read an old review stating there was, but that it was also a small lot. Just be aware that parking could be tricky. We arrived around 9:55 this morning & had the lot to ourselves -- their cupcake supply was limited (small variety, empty plates). Next time we have to get there earlier! The gentleman behind the counter was very polite as we stood there gawking (okay, drooling) at the delectable sweets on display: vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, lemon, and vanilla sprinkle cupcakes, plus a few different cookies. We ordered three cupcakes & a cookie, plus tossed in an Arnold Palmer & mango tea drinks. He confirmed that they have their staple flavors, with a few seasonal flavors showing up from time to time. It's not a large ordering area so I imagine it can be pretty crowded when they're busy, and though I did see what appeared to be a side room, half of the space had no seating while the other half looked more like a meeting space vs a space for dining. As we were getting ready to leave the lot, the gentleman brought out a coupon for a free cupcake / cookie platter with a catering order. Yes! They cater. We will totally visit Red Velvet again, because we definitely want to try a couple of their shakes, as well as more of their goodies.

This place is locally owned and has the BEST cupcakes, cheesecakes and shakes in Arizona! The owners are amazing people and always makes us feel welcomed. It’s such a vibe coming in seeing the wall of flowers and paintings along the wall from a local artist. I highly recommend going to Red Velvet Bakery!

My first time visiting here was excellent. Family owned and local! They are such kind people with fantastic baked goods. I got a box of 4 cupcakes to take home and I ate an Oreo cheesecake slice while I was there. I also got the Red Velvet Cold Brew (10/10). I ended up staying a few hours - much longer than I expected, but it was a calm atmosphere with tables and comfy chairs. I was able to spend those hours focusing on some work and scheduling. I definitely plan on coming back. I think this is really a hidden gem that more people need to check out!

The people at Red Velvet Bakery took such good care of me! I came to them with a last minute request due to being scammed by a different person. They were so kind and empathetic and met my needs perfectly! The cupcakes looked exactly like I had hoped and tasted even better! I know where I’ll be going from now on!!
