What a beautiful shop and a delicious lemon velvet cake! I'll be ordering many cakes from here, I can tell you. It smells absolutely delicious inside and the girl working was very friendly. It's so cute! Parking on the street can be annoying, so I just parked in the lot across the street and was in and out in 5 minutes. My new favorite cake shop.
New strawberry cookie butter vegan cupcake was so good. Totally worth the experience the staff is super welcoming and friendly. Shout out to Danielle and Ashely for making the trip to the bakery today so fun and exciting . Will be back for vegan treats soon.
This is the cutest bakery around and it's located right in the neighborhood and that is a big plus!!! The decor is beautiful and inviting my kids and I just enjoyed the ambiance. The service was ok, I'm a person that will ask what do you like or I'll have my eye on an item or to and will ask for a recommendation better the items. The person who helped me hadn't tried a couple of things I was eying. We had a wide range of things: chocolate chip cookie, sugar cookie, lemon blueberry loaf, pineapple upside down cake and peach cobbler. My favorite was the peach cobbler I would recommend their peach cobbler to any and everyone it's so good. My kids loved the cookies they are big and not too sweet. We weren't fans of the lemon blueberry or pineapple upside down cake they really didn't offer any flavor, they were not nasty but it was rather tasteless. All in all the cookies and peach cobbler are amazing. I'll go back and try the cupcakes.
I've heard great things about this place and was very excited to try it. Parking is scarce around here but there is a parking lot across the street that you can park in. The shop is cute and clean and the employees are very nice. I tried a strawberry cake, a banana bread and a parfait and I can say the banana bread was my favorite. But I'm always partial to banana bread. Definitely try them Out if you are looking for a good sweet!
Cake was tasty! It was moist and light. Service was fast. The shop was really cute with some seating at the side.
Peach Cobbler Cookies This cookie is the absolute best cookie I have ever had! The sugar cookie is golden brown, crisp on the edges and outside, while still being a soft cookie. The cookie is stuffed with peach cobbler. I haven't had cobbler this good since my moms! The cobbler filling is made from fresh peaches, the buttery goodness hitting your palate first, followed up with the nutmeg, cinnamon spice, hitting your tongue next, finishing off with the sweetness of the peach. I love that the cookie had the perfect amount of sweetness, allowing all of the ingredients to flow together. The creativity and the delivery of the final product, are top notch!! I love everything about this cookie. #CynBitesThisFeedsMySoulStatus Business owner, if you see this...is there a way to get the cookies shipped??
I would like to start off by saying I really enjoy this bakery but let me start off with my dislikes, the parking is terrible I really wish they had a parking lot. I tried the golden cake with chocolate icing it tasted amazing while it was cold but once it became room temperature it didn't taste the best. The red velvet jar was amazing and the cake was actually red. The service was decent could be better but that just comes with additional training but it could improve. It cute when you walk in as you will see in my pictures. I will check them out again whenever I'm in the area. Forgot to mention the pricing is about average it could come off expensive to some but that's a manner of opinion
Stopped by for the yelp elite event. The shop is super cute. Definitely a good place for afternoon meet up with friends. Cake slices are huge! Great value for the price. People are also very friendly. I got their most popular cake and it did not disappoint! The cake is dense but not too sweet. Does not taste artificial. I especially like the cream, very creamy and rich. Not surprised it's their most popular item! There are also many other flavors to choose from. Would definitely return to try some others next time!
This review is for the elite event. Got the German chocolate cake per their recommendation of something that is not too sweet yet a best seller. I loved it. It was filled with decadent chocolate, coconut, other nuts, filling sandwiched between chocolate cake. Little bit too sweet for me though. I could only finish 1/5 before being full. Ambiance was a cute little dessert shop, not fancy but well designed. My server was Lauren - she was nice and assisted me in packing my cake. Their cakes are huge, so prepare for leftovers for multiple days! In that sense if I was to pay for it it would be worth the money. I would try the strawberry cake (they have a lot of vegan options too!) next (carrot cake sounds good too).
