Our No-Nonsense Guarantee

If it's just a dessert, we're not happy. Remember, we create Guarantee Simply Fine desserts, and how our customers respond to those desserts is important to us. We take great pride in the freshness and outstanding flavor of our products, which is why if you are unhappy with any of our desserts for any reason, we want to hear about it. We will do everything in our power to make things right. That's our simple pledge and guarantee...

Price Quote / Ordering Procedure

Many of our confections are one of a kind creations, involving specialty items such as seasonal fruit, fresh nuts, specific chocolates, or liqueuers, and the amount of work involved in the preparation and decorating of one dessert over another can vary substantially. As a result, we generate and send you a short text description for each dessert project we take on, along with a breakdown of charges for the dessert(s) and delivery.

Ordering a dessert from Simply Fine Desserts is as easy as 1 2 3...

Step 1 From the ordering page, enter information about what you're looking for in a dessert, where we'll be delivering to, and how you'll be paying. Once we receive this information, we will confirm receipt of your request by sending you, via email, a short description and price quote for your particular project.

Step 2 Once you receive our e-mail, forward the note back to us and insert text indicating: (1) that the project description in the quotation e-mail is correct, (2) that the price quote is acceptable, and (3) that the delivery details are in accordance with what you expect. If anything needs clarification or you have any concerns, they should be raised at this time.

Step 3 You will receive a confirmation phone call three days prior to the delivery date to notify you that your order has been scheduled. At this time, you will receive final confirmation about delivery and payment details. This is your final opportunity to cancel your order without incurring a charge.

That's it. The only things left to do are to make your payment, receive your dessert, and enjoy!

Last Minute Orders

While we appreciate being given as much advance notice as possible, we do our best to accomodate last minute orders. Our online order system requires 5 days advance notice. However, if you require a last minute dessert, please call, and we'll do what we can to help.

Pickup

Desserts may be picked up from our Los Gatos bakery. We ask that you make prior arrangements for pickup, as our hours at the bakery vary.

You may also pickup your order on Sundays from the Santana Row Farmers' Market, again by prior arrangement.

Delivery

Desserts may be hand-delivered to a location within San Jose and the greater south bay. Delivery charges are based on area/zipcode and specific delivery requirements (for instance, extra charges may be quoted for weekend, holiday, or off-hour delivery, catering, setup and/or cleanup, etc.). Delivery and any related charges are quoted through our online quote system. Location and instructions are confirmed by phone three days in advance of the delivery date.
