The details are part of the experience in the shop Sweet Laurel: Cake, Coffee + Tea. Claire is behind the space’s gorgeous design and handpicked every item in the space. Laurel describes their shop as a return home. The two grew up in Santa Monica and were part of the Palisades community as kids.

Some of their fan favorites include Chocolate Caramel Layer Cake, Vanilla Coconut Jam Cake, Lemon Coconut Cake, Pumpkin Spice Caramel Cake, and more. You can even go home with some of their famous vegan caramel. Kids are becoming some of the most eager customers. Claire says, “The kids have been the best. On our first day, we had a few little boys came in who were diabetic. And they were so excited to order something at a bakery counter just like anybody else. It totally reaffirmed why we started Sweet Laurel in the first place–to create a delicious, inclusive experience.
