"The Health Chic Team loves Heart Thrives and California Suncakes. Seven delicious fresh-baked flavors (Chocolate Chip and Lemon Poppy seed are our favorites). Great with a cup of tea, as a snack, or breakfast on the run, they're the perfect companion to help resist the temptation of junk food. Low-sugar, high-protein, high-fiber Heart Thrives and Suncakes are a great grab-n-go meal for the road!"

"This company is quality all the way. Excellent healthy snack products at very, very good value. Shipments are unbelievably quick - from online order to at-your-door delivery, maybe two or three days. Save time and money by ordering several dozen. The choices of flavors and combinations are a delight. Don't fret about spoilage: they arrive super-fresh and can be refrigerated or frozen. We freeze four dozen at a time and warm them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Or we just drop them into lunch boxes, briefcases and purses, and they're ready to eat in a while. (Great for the movie theatre because they don't crunch, rattle or otherwise offend others.) The Healthy Baking Company offers a monthly email. Sign up for it. Ever since I did, I've found in it a coupon offer good for that month for six free items (in any one flavor of your choice) added to your order. Just type the code word for that month on the order pages comment box and tell them what flavor you'd like. Its a great way to sample new flavors. You pay for shipping, but the six free items more than compensate you for the shipping cost. Its cheaper and more convenient than running to a specialty shop for them. Oh, and by the way - these yummy baked cookie-cakes are as good for you as they taste!"

"I don't normally send emails of praise and adoration to product manufacturers, but I am making an exception in this case. Thank you Thank you Thank you for making Heart Thrive. I started buying them for a quick cheap snack on the go at my coffee shop and it has quickly become a breakfast routine (read: addiction). Rarely does a product meet so many of my needs at once - small list of ingredients, small price tag, no scary chemical additives, lots of protein and fiber, filling and tasty, and best of all - portable. You guys made it possible for me to cut down on wheat intake without a ton of effort and I think I've lost a few pounds without feeling starved. Thank you for being amazing. You make me smile everyday."

"I've been ordering Suncakes or Heart Thrives directly from the factory store in Emeryville for the past four years or so. Every single order has been promptly processed and reliably delivered via UPS. Buying Suncakes or Heart Thrives four-dozen at a time enables me to get the per-package price down a bit, as well as enabling me to take two packages with me for my weekday bicycle-CalTrain-bicycle commute; I eat one package on the morning train and one package on the afternoon train. The company's products are so consistently good, and their order processing has been so consistently prompt and reliable, that ordering Suncakes or Heart Thrives as become a regular part of my life."

"I used to get HeartThrives from a coffee shop near my house. When I  moved, I realized I couldn't go on without them so I started ordering them directly from the website. I truly don't know what I would do without them. I have IBS, and my symptoms have gone down drastically since I began eating hearts everyday. Plus they're portable, which is good for people with blood sugar issues like me."

 "I order them once a month, they come shockingly fast and I've never had a delivery problem."

 "Apple is by far the best flavor."

 "Woo."

"I have been buying your oatcakes for years and recently began ordering them direct from you. They are awesome and it is so nice to have convenient snack or breakfast that is healthy. I keep a box in the freezer at work. I wrote a review of them on Lunch.com."

"I found them in a little convenience store near where I work and two of them held me for breakfast and lunch- and I am normally very picky and very hungry!  I welcome the ability to lose a little weight and eat healthier and I can’t wait for the rest of the family to try them.  Thanks for a great product!"

 First off, if I can find fault in a product, company and or service I will.


This company; is nothing short of amazing. Great product, great shipping -  but unknown customer service…which is a good thing :)  Nutritious and most importantly the chocolate chip Heart Thrives are unreal, been eating a package a day for over a year and look forward to them every day. Hot, cold, room temperature, it doesn't matter. I would pay a lot more for  this product than what it sells for, it is that good. Good thing these are
reasonable because I am on a very tight budget!

"During hurricane Ike here in Houston, myself and my wife lived on suncakes for a few days until things got back to relative normal. It took about a week for the nearest grocery to open so Suncakes and canned soup were what we ate and we didn't suffer any from the effort to sustain, in fact, we did quite well. Suncakes are also great travel food."

J.S.   Houston, TX

"My first time ordering (you get 6 free!!). Easy. Nice, responsive people. Great price (I found them initially in a cafe for a dollar more a piece). I've found this to be a pretty good tasting, healthy & economic alternative to buying snacks on campus. Easily portable (I just pull it out of the fridge in the morning) and filling. I really like the protein, calcium and fiber content, too .. everything I'm looking for."

"I love the Heart Thrives. My husband first discovered them at the college he attends. They are the perfect snack/meal for me because I am a Type 1 Diabetic."

C.W.    Chipley, FL

"I tell everyone I know about your Suncakes. Your products will one day bring about world peace, and cause the planets themselves to come into a more harmonious order.
                      
      No, I'm not a nut.  ;) It's just fun to state just how awesome your products are!"

"I wanted to thank you for providing me an extra half dozen Heart Thrives."

"I eat them almost every lunch. I am a tennis coach and I don't have time to sit down and eat a meal or snack too often as I am on the court all the time. What a perfect meal in the most convenient  package. Nutritious, tasty, easy to digest and fun to eat too! Thanks 
for a great product!"

"I thank you very much for the sun cakes I received through shipping. I felt the need to have them right away and they came in great time. When I’m hungry at all, I always feel the need to grab a pack of raisin heart thrives and after that, I'm ready to go on throughout the day. I really like the contents of heart thrives with the clean ingredients and nutritional value. I find everything about heart thrives are absolutely amazing. Apple, raisin, and poppy seed are delicious and simply some of the best meal-to-go bars I have ever had! Thank you!"

Patrick   Virginia Beach, VA

"The world needs more merchants that conduct business like California Suncakes!  California Suncakes provides excellent customer service, and their shipping rates are among the lowest in the country. They have a genuine concern for customer satisfaction. I do A LOT of internet purchasing, and rate California Suncakes among the "top 3" of companies I purchase from regularly. Top notch products and service!"

V.S.    Cosby, MO

"I'm a long time customer of California Suncakes but have come to appreciate them so much more since becoming vegan. My work requires frequent travel and it is so difficult to find healthy breakfast food that isn't laden with dairy, hydrogenated fats and white flour. I'm so very tired of the miserable "continental breakfast" pastry selection at business conferences that I'd rather go without eating all together.  Suncakes and Heart Thrives are my solution, they are so easy to tuck in a briefcase or backpack and provide the perfect nutritional balance to start my day when I'm "on the road." 

V.A.  Boston, MA

"My granddaughter eats a heart thrive for breakfast along with a glass of milk two or three times a week. When I give her breakfast options she says "suncake". I think they are perfect for busy mornings, then I'm sure she will not be hungry before lunch and has good fuel in her body. I took
 some to work and people were grateful to have a "healthy" food around the office in case they didn't get breakfast or lunch."

D.M.   Kalamazoo MI

"Wonderful product. I had gastric bypass done and have been eating 2 chocolate chip Suncakes per day. They make up 2 of my 5 meals per day. My 3 year old son loves them to, he calls them cookies! Absolutely nutritious and delicious. The company and product is perfect all around. I have nothing negative to say, perfect experience each and every time I order. Too bad other companies don't care enough to make a healthy product! Thanks again!"

W.R.   Sioux City IA

"For decades I've used coffee (no sugar or  sweetener) to appease my appetite. While waiting the purchase of my afternoon cup and being teased by the display of Biscotti, I noticed the basket of Suncakes. They saved the afternoon. The single serving of the Apricot heart was more than satisfying. The serving provided good taste all without the addition of high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils.  Delicious and without guilt."

"My heart thanks you."

Arlene, Phoenix, AZ

"I just wanted to say I LOVE your cakes. It is so refreshing to have something that tastes so good be so good for you! I recently found out I was allergic to eggs, and I was completely bummed out that I would not be able to eat baked goods anymore – then I discovered Suncakes and Heart Thrive and I can't wait to try all the serving suggestions from your website."

"Learning about all the good ingredients inside your food is really amazing – it just proves that people can make healthy packaged food and that even us busy New Yorkers can eat right on the go.

Thank you very much! "

Brittany  New York, NY

"Heart Thrives and Suncakes are great products and delivery was prompt. The price can't be beat, especially considering that the nutritional profile is so much better than the average nutrition bar (and there are no dodgy ingredients), and each package contains two filling servings. They also generously throw in six extras for first-time buyers. All of the flavors are great, but the Chocolate Orange is decadent--lots of chocolate. I'd been seeking these out at local coffee shops for years; I'm so glad I decided to order some for myself."

K.G.   Fairfax, VA

"We love Heart Thrives!  They are always in our freezer, ready to go in our backpacks to school and the office and on hikes. They are fresh and tasty and there are many good flavors. Our favorites are apple and chocolate.  Ordering couldn't be easier - the website is simple to
 navigate and the service by phone is friendly and efficient.  We couldn't do without Heart Thrives!  Thanks so much!"

M.K.    Berkeley, CA

"I love the products (both the Suncakes and the Heart Thrives), my husband and I each have one just about every day.  They freeze great and thaw fast, which makes it easier to keep them around.  The price is great, especially when you buy in bulk.  The shipping is fast and super affordable; what more could you ask for!"

D.M.   Overland Park, KS

"I have ordered California Suncakes for the last couple of years. Their website is user friendly, the merchandise arrives in a timely manner and has always been excellent. California suncakes are an easy breakfast and a wonderful snack when riding our Harley and exploring this beautiful country."

K. K.   Salem, VA

"Hunter Motor Sports would like to thank you for such a great product.  Our riders love the suncakes - it gives them a good balance for a healthy breakfast before racing.

Our riders agree that California Suncakes is part of their success!  Great product, quick shipping, love the clean ingredients without all the chemicals, additives, etc."

Hunter Motor Sports   Peoria, AZ

"These vegan treats are DELICIOUS!

I've dropped 30 pounds eating one Heart Thrive or Sun Cake every 
morning for the past couple of months!

I've never had the kind of energy bursts from caffeine or "diet food" I get from Heart Thrives. I can now swim 2 miles a day and I have a sense of balance and energy all day!  I brought a month's supply of Heart Thrives for my husband and myself to Europe recently to have in between restaurant meals to keep us from bingeing on too many sweets while we toured Italy. They were a lifesaver! With Heart Thrives and Sun Cakes I satisfy my sweet and carbohydrate cravings so it's been easier for me to have a sensible lunch and dinner of vegetables, healthy fats and lean protein without reaching for the white flour, sugar and bad fats!

But enough of the health talk - these treats are actually DELICIOUS.

Please never stop making the Chocolate or Apricot Heart Thrive bars - they are the best healthy bars I have ever tasted! The Apricot and Chocolate Orange Sun Cakes are great too."

R.B.   Hull, MA

"I love these snacks. They are delicious, tasty and satisfying. I highly recommend them to everyone. There are so many ways you can enjoy them just check out their website. They respond quickly to orders as well and I am always surprised at how quickly they arrive. Thanks."

H.E.   North Andover, MA  

"I received four different varieties of the California Suncakes and was exceptionally pleased by the wholesome ingredients, healthy nutritional information, fantastic taste, and value. I was worried about having to write my order in the "notes" section (because I ordered a variety pack and wanted a flavor combination that was different than the options listed on the drop down menu), but the attention to detail of this merchant was impressive. I am pleased & will definitely re-order again. Also, thank you for the 6 free suncakes I received by being a first-time customer. This enabled me to try a flavor that I wouldn't regularly buy and, as a result, may indeed order again. Highly Recommended!!"

S.R.    Greenville, PA

"This is a great company that makes a great product. The Heart Thrive cakes and Suncakes are healthy and taste great! The company is socially conscious and environmentally friendly. Once they did make a mistake on my order, and they corrected it immediately, but I got to keep the mistake! It was delicious! They always give extra product when you order in bulk. Shipping costs are reasonable, considering in my case, they come from the West Coast, all the way to the East Coast. I am never without my Healthy Baking company Heart Thrive cakes. I have one every day for breakfast. I have tried every variety, and I like each one, but the chocolate Heart Thrive cakes are my favorite. My son who is a strict vegan, likes them too." 

Michele L.   Wolcott CT

   "I'm an obesity researcher at a food policy institute at Yale, so I am especially inclined to pay compliments when I come across worthwhile food products. We live in a world of processed foods, and they are the staple of the American diet. So, when I see a healthy processed snack or meal replacement (especially one made in an environmentally responsible way), it always makes me happy."

Chis   New Haven, CT

"I am storing some in the freezer to be used as emergency rations for hurricane season here in Florida."

"Finally my search for the healthy office/weekend/travel snack is over. Thanks to you for your nutritious Heart Thrive snacks."

Ruthy    Warrenville, IL

"Heart Thrives make is easy to grab something nutritious and satisfying and still keep to my busy schedule".

A.K. Gloucester, MA

"I live off of Heart Thrives, literally. They are the staple of my diet. As a college student with IBS, it's hard for me to find food that's fast, nutritious, and won't make me sick. Heart thrives are the perfect portable meal for me, especially since I'm the "grazing" type, eating all throughout the day. Thank you so much for your wonderful product, I don't know what I would do without heart thrives!! You are helping to put me through college!!"

N.S. Redlands, CA

"Where to begin? Suncakes have become an indelible part of my morning breakfast, and a great travel aid. Yes, they're delicious and filling, but that's only a beginning. Since I began eating them, my HDL cholesterol (the 'good' kind) has risen; now it's about half of my total cholesterol. (Any cardiologist will tell you that a ratio of 1/2 is about the best they've seen). As if that weren't enough, the service of the Suncake people is top notch."

Kris via E-mail

"Feeling satisfied after a good snack is one thing, but knowing how positively it has impacted your health is quite a bonus! Ever since I discovered Heart Thrives at a local coffee shop, they have become a staple in my diet. I am thrilled with this product and how it has contributed towards my goal of leading a healthy lifestyle."

D.D. Pittsburgh, PA

"Apart from producing a delicious product that has saved us from starvation many times (when hiking, traveling, or simply enduring a grueling day braving the sensory overload at our local mall), California Suncakes provides exceptional customer service. It is always a pleasure doing business with them, whether an order is large or small."

P.H.   Scottsdale, AZ

"I have type 2 diabetes and I'm always looking for a food source that is filled with good stuff and tastes great. Suncake products work well and keep me going for hours! Thanks!"

J.T.   Stockbridge, MA

"Our family is thrilled with this company's service and products. They produce and distribute excellent vegan cakes that can be meal replacements or broken into snacks. The quality has been consistently superior to other products in the same niche. Ordering online was very easy, and they offered several price-saving packages and flexibility in flavor choices. We received confirmation email when the order was received and when it was shipped. Product arrived in perfect condition in two days".

L.H.   Brea, CA

"Outstanding Products. By eating California Suncakes/Heart Thrive Cakes twice daily in my 'Body For Life' Fitness and Eating program, I have dropped 7 lbs. in 20 days. They are a perfect carb/protein balance as a meal, and great to take along on a mountain bike ride as an energy booster."

C.S.   Ellicot City, MD

"I received my Heart Thrives the next day after ordering. They are an excellent product. Highly recommended!"

L.H.   Auburn, CA

"You all are fantastic! Great telephone customer service and web service as well. Thanks for providing such a heart-healthy product. I'm part of the Dean Ornish heart disease reversal program and will be passing along your products to other folks."

R.F.   Billings, MT

"I'm always impressed with the speed my orders arrive and that's lucky because I always run out before I remember to order again. I never have to wait long for my supply to be replenished. I try to push them on all my friends and co-workers. They think I'm a health nut, but really, they're just so good I can't live without them! I'm addicted to date Heart Thrives!"

K.F.   Albany, NY

"Heart Thrives are fantastic! I eat one or two every day while I'm at work. Ordering on-line is a breeze and order fulfillment is flawless. Great product - great company."
