“We worked with Manon to create a cutting cake and cupcakes for our wedding a couple of weeks ago and were SO impressed! The cake was absolutely stunning and Manon decorated it with some of the flowers that we used for the wedding. The cake itself was delicious and flavorful! The cupcakes looked like they were straight out of a magazine and went very fast once the desserts were available after dinner. Everyone raved about the cupcakes. If you are looking for a skilled baker who is easy to work with, hire Manon for your wedding!! Thank you, Manon!“

“There was a small line to get in on the Saturday morning we went. But i t was worth the wait in my opinion. Great variety of food and coffee. We tried both sweet and savory stuff. The croissant was perfection and the latte was good. Other stuff like the quiche and ham and cheese were decent as well. They also have a parking lot in front in addition to street parking.“

“Great. First time here and will definitely will be back!“

“I ordered two dozen cookies for my son’s graduation/commissioning into the US Navy. One dozen was the school logo and the other dozen were patriotic US Navy variety logos.They not only arrived on time and well packaged to keep them safe while shipping, they were gorgeous. Everyone one at the party raved about the look and the taste.Will be ordering from them again!!!“

“I had a custom cake made for my daughter’s medical school graduation. She’s going to be an OBGYN and I had an unusual request for the cake I had in mind. The whole process was wonderful. They were very excited to make an unusual cake and had great idea that they emailed to me to review. A follow up phone call to finalize the cake made the whole process so easy. The cake was a huge hit, not only with our crowd, but the staff at the restaurant all stopped by our table to see it. It was a huge hit! And also very tasty! So many thanks to the whole staff, will definitely be back!“

“This ice cream is unique and delicious. The employees are so friendly and even upgraded us to a full pint when we only ordered a half. Highly recommend! (The Birthday Cake flavor was the bomb)“

“Delicious treats. Fun atmosphere“

“These are the best cinnamon rolls you'll ever have. Delicious! Freshly made. Good breakfast and lunch items, too. We will be back to continue tonsupoort this local business.“

“Cute and convenient location with good drinks and friendly people. Tried a variety of pastries (cinn roll, pecan sticky bun, cranberry scone, pound cake & baguette). The flavors were nice but everything was on the dry side for my taste. Maybe the oven temps are a bit too low and the pastries get dried out? The baguette flavor was great, but still just a tad too hard and dried out. I'm sure everything would be great dunked in a beverage though.“

“Ok so finally found a proper crossaint place - look no further- a globally astute high quality crossiantery …worthy of being anywhere in the world… not like some in nc…:) definitely a must for the triangle.. can’t wait for them to put savoury croissants on the “

“I love these cakes! Can you say Hi to marko for me??? He made my cake and it was delicious. Also i want his number Pls. He makes the best cakes but I want his instead??“

“I received amazing customer service on Saturday February 24th. I placed a drive up order for 6 tres leches for my family. First let me say the cookies or should I say cake is delicious. So much so my family shared 2 earlier in the week but everyone was requesting more before the menu changed. Anyway my order was delayed a few minutes because they had sold out and only had half of my order and promptly offered substitutions. No big deal I had to wait ten minutes and manager was so apologetic and even thorough in an extra cookie. I am so appreciative of good customer service because post covid it is becoming more and more rare.“

“HANDS DOWN best cinnamon bun I have ever had. The bun itself was a PERFECT consistency for a cinnamon bun while the toppings just added the extra flare. Octavia was EXTREMELY nice and helped me select my first bun to try. 100% will be returning“

“This is absolutely one of my favorite places to get both pastries and coffee! ? Everything is so good and it a wonderful place to sit and chat.My only issue would be the attitude of some of the guys at the front (could just be the same guy on multiple days - I'm bad with faces). It's off putting and comes across like he just doesn't want to deal with people.“

“I Highly recommend Madame B’s for all your cake needs. Very professional, created the exact cake I wanted, beautiful cake!! And most importantly it was DELICIOUS!!! Thank you!!! ❤️“

“My husband stumbled on Iris one day and we have been absolutely dedicated to this shop ever since. It is clear from the moment you walk in, that coffee is king and creativity key. The time and consideration they spend curating unique, high quality, experimental flavors is obvious from the moment you order to the last sip you take. They focus on quality over quantity, and execute that mission perfectly. We love sending people here who are dabbling in 3rd or 4th wave coffee or who are just curious about what that even means. Bryan has always been so good at explaining their process and his enthusiasm is contagious. Highly recommend trying their sandwiches as well! Love this place ❤️“

“The customer service is excellent, with friendly staff members ready to assist you in selecting the perfect cookies for your cravings. The packaging is also noteworthy, ensuring that your cookies stay fresh and delicious until you’re ready to enjoy them.“

“A favorite near me with warm service and donuts. The shop is tucked away but perfect breakfast or lil treat spot after getting gas or going to Harris Teeter nearby. I've been greeted with great service each time and loved each donut - old fashioned, marbled, chocolate with sprinkles, and more that I've bought. I love this spot and recommend it when in the Creedmoor neighborhood.“

“I bumped into your stand accidentally at the farmers market this past Saturday with my three little ones. We picked up one of your cakes to give it a try. It lasted approximately 48 hours in our house before every single piece was gone. Lol. This is hands-down, the absolute best carrot cake I have ever eaten in my life. You can taste the freshness, the quality ingredients, and the care that you take in every bite. I will be back to see you on Saturday and definitely quite a bit more in the future. Thank you for delivering exactly what you promised Brent Reck Willow Spring NC“

“Had a long-ish wait for a place that I didn't think was outstanding, but it was decent. I got the corned beef and hash and my friend got the chicken biscuit, which was small but tasty. Nothing really stood out, but I guess I'll keep it in mind as a reliable breakfast spot when I'm in Raleigh.“

“The best student center in NCSU. Stores, coffee shops are good!“

“From out of town and stopped on a whim. So glad we did! Cooking them fresh from dough right in front of you With delicious toppings and ingredients. I’m taking some home with me to Arizona!“

“Just what I envisioned for my daughter's birthday party. So unassuming on the outside but the kids were amazed when we sliced into it.“

“I first tried a Crumbl cookie at an event held at school last year. The cookie was lemon (with an actual slice of lemon) on top. It was delicious and I’ve been a regular customer since then. And with locations being closed on Sunday, I load up for the weekend. ? Overall … great experience every visit.“

“So the last time I came to Insomnia Cookies, I wanted red velvet cookies. I got there, and they were out of cookies. That was last year. So this year, I decided to call the phone #, so I can see if they're out of cookies, so I'm not wasting a trip out there. Guess how long I've been waiting for them to answer the phone?“

“while the location is a little difficult to get out of when you leave the trip there is worth the drivebread pastries jams jellies cakes candies and clearance food items keeps me coming backi am an event planner for my senior community and on days we get together for a potluck or events we at wakefield springs I buy the much needed goods at a fantastic price​they take cash credit debit and ebt​don't hesitate and tell them you found them by another customer who reviewed​there is handicapped parking at the door“

“We bought a pineapple cake from the fridge ( no tan order - just walk in purchase ) and it was so delicious! The best cake we’ve had since moving to Raleigh. The frosting was creamy and not too sweet. The cake was fresh. Service was good and they wrote happy birthday and the name for us. We also really enjoy some of the baked goods we bought! Our friends liked the cake too. Definitely will be back!“

“Such a wonderful experience working with Debbie and Sweet Cakes Bakery. Birthday cake was ready for pickup as promised. Beautifully decorated and very delicious ?.Do not hesitate to reach out to this establishment for all of your special cake needs.Thank you, Sweet Cakes, for being there when I needed you.“

“I’m the kind of girl who wakes up and goes to sleep with only one thing on her mind: breakfast sandwiches. I’m the kind of girl who thinks a breakfast sandwich can cure anything. I’m the kind of girl who spends decades dreaming about the best breakfast sandwiches she’s ever had. And let me tell you something about Union Specials signature breakfast sandwich. A hashbrown on the sandwich!!! The perfect cheese!! The perfect fluffy bread. Yall. I love a wide range of breakfast sandwiches and union specials has become one of my cornerstones. And beyond the breakfast sandwich, the coffee? Perfect. Orange juice? Perfect. Pancake special? Perfect. No notes. Never misses. (Accidentally deleted my review so reposting)“

“Great coffee and treats, and everyone wearing masks❤️“

“Todo está muy bueno,comenzando desde la atención al público muy amables y todo lo que ofrecen de comida muy rico“
