Ellie's, but they only have rotating flavors in the case.

Wrights is amazing, so moist and the whipped cream style frosting is so good.

I'm a little disappointed that some people answered something other than Gregg's.

Gregg’s if you want sticky fudgey but Pastiche if you want a well balanced cake with delicate cake layers, chocolate mousse like icing between them and buttercream.

It’s good but it taste more like sugar than chocolate tbh. I recently had it and two of us had to give up on the one slice we had it was so overly sweet.

Hot take: Gregg’s Death by Chocolate = too chocolatey. Their regular chocolate cake is perfect enough.

For a chocolate lover, it's definitely gotta be a death by chocolate from Gregg's. I got it once for my bf's birthday, it came in a cardboard box because it's too heavy for a regular cake box.

Fun fact: Davenports has one of the former head bakers on staff from Greggs doing their desserts. Their chocolate cake is just as good, plus the Heath Bar is incredible.

Stop in, their chicken apple walnut salad/wrap is a favorite. I love their thanksgiving dinner when I'm craving comfort food but don't want to go through all that effort. But you really can't go wrong. When my family visits from FL, Gregg's is always a restaurant we try and work in. Chelo's is good too, a little more greasy than Greggs.
And the table pickles at Greggs are amazing! don't forget to get those!

Very subjective. Gregg’s is good for sure. But there are lots of little bakery’s around that hold their ground. When all else fails get an ice cream cake!

Greg's Death by Chocolate or their Chocolate Peanut Butter cake. Also does anyone know how their Chocolate frosting is made? My Wife has been trying to make frosting just as good or the same.

I'm throwing The Perfect Sweet into the mix! The owner Tracy is an absolute peach, and everything is exceptional there.

PASTICHE. If you want top tier dessert go there for one of the two or three chocolate cakes they have or any other thing because it’s all great. Highlights for me are the Lemon Cake, Pecan Pie and the Banana Cream Pie ( get caramel on it).

EDIT: Greggs is fine but it’s your girls b day. Don’t take them all to the place with the livet and onions early bird special. The cake is good and all, yes.
Pastiche is on the federal hill and it’s way more of a romantic place.

Sin Bakery on Westminster - has great desserts (as good as Pastiche or better) and a coffee/full bar plus its not a major pain in the ass to park near which makes it a better choice overall than Pastiche unless your already up on the hill or need to do the traditional Italian bakery thing.

When a friend from out of town visited, he told me to meet him at the Beef Hearth. Had no idea what he was referring to. Apparently Chelo’s full name is “Chelo’s Beef Hearth”, which somehow makes things even worse imo

I back up anyone supporting Gregg’s chocolate cake. However, sometimes I just can’t do all that chocolate. In those times, their, “Giving cake” is a rock solid back up choice. IMHO.

I’ve been getting cakes at Borellis for over 10 years, haven’t found something better yet. Gregg’s is still great tho

I totally agree! Gregg’s is the type of chocolate cake that little kids want to eat and that Bruce Bogtrotter never wants to see ever again. With the Pastiche chocolate layer cake you can taste the quality of the chocolate and a range of textures and even if you eat too much you don’t feel bad about yourself afterwards.

Despite the dumb name, La Favorite bakery in Warwick has done several custom birthday cakes for us and they’ve all been great.

Gregg’s is OK, but overrated IMO (as someone not born and raised here).

I work at an award winning cake shop/bakery in Providence and literally came here to say Greggs. Don’t bother going anywhere else.

That's wild! I've never had an issue with their cake slices from the case. Maybe a flavor/texture of cake I didn't particularly like over the years, but nothing stale. That's disappointing.

Unpopular opinion but it’s kind of overrated. I think between the fun name and the portion size to cost it’s popular. Definitely too rich and there are better options out there.
