I ordered a lemon cake for my son’s wedding. The cake was exactly what I wanted. The whole process of going in and picking up the cake was easy, and a pleasure.

Interesting experience. The tarts were good, but the mini cakes were a disappointment and for the price we paid?! We spent over $200 on these deserts and won't come again 👋

Absolutely horrible service, came in with my friend and I and were curious about some of their desserts. We were not only unacknowledged but deliberately ignored. Very rude and nasty looks from the workers. I never got the chance to even ask them about any of their pastries. As soon as this other white woman came in she was greeted immediately with a high and energetic welcome. It was really bizarre and have never experienced service like this.

Customer service was very disappointing. I ordered 25 dozen mini cake bites, and when I was on the phone I made it clear that I needed these individually boxed per dozen. When I picked them up, they were all thrown together in 3 large boxes. When I questioned why they were not placed in individual boxes, there was a girl behind the counter with her back towards me who whipped her head around and said "That wasn't listed on the order, that would have taken way too much time". She said it in the most disrespectful, and annoyed tone of voice. As the customer, paying YOU for a service, I would think she would have been a little more accommodating offering a solution. I had to ask if they would give me the boxes separately so I could package them myself. BTW it took me and my office 15 minutes to package all 25 dozen cakes ourselves... Will be taking my business somewhere else next time.

Cute bakery in the back of a small plaza of shops . we were looking for it from the street and almost walked by as we couldn’t see the store if not for the plaza sign .5 stars for food and service. We purchased 2 macarons but the staff noticed one was broken and offered to not only give it to us for free but also another choice of flavor.4 stars on ambience as the inside of the store was a little cluttered with display trays not being used .

We stopped to have a light lunch: I opted for the quiche lorraine and salad which was very tasty and my wife opted for the soup and salad combo. We couldn’t resist having desserts: we went for the bit size Pecan Coulds and Pistachio sweets. Small and lovely place.

Perfect cakes for special occasions. Michele customized a cake for my parent's golden 50th wedding anniversary: the end result was stunning! Our guests enjoyed the Gateau Aileen: full of fresh fruit with just the right balance of sweetness. Great service as well - the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful.
Really disappointed in our cake. I had heard so much about this place from friends and so we ordered a chocolate cake for my son’s 18 th birthday. It was really dry. Surprisingly very dry ie made days earlier, frozen, and thawed kind of dry. We followed directions served at room temp. Disappointed and embarrassed to serve to family and friends.

We have been coming here for years to pick up pre-ordered birthday cakes for family. We have worked out way through all the different flavors. Honestly hands down the best bakery in town and everyone is always excited to join when it's pickup time.

On Saturdays Michele makes the best cinnamon rolls one can hope to find, and she will make cinnamon raisin rolls by order in numbers of 6, even better. If you like fruit pies, OMG my mouth is watering just thinking about them. Best fruit available, best butters , and crusts are to die for. Yes, nothing is cheap but when you can get the best....what are a few pennies for?
