“We ordered our lemon raspberry wedding cake with buttercream frosting from Parker-Lusseau Pastries, and it was everything we dreamed of — absolutely delicious and beautifully made!
From the start, working with Anne was a wonderful experience. She was extremely responsive via email and made sure all of our requests were fulfilled. The team was so accommodating and ensured our cake would be ready and perfect for our special day, which gave us such peace of mind.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake tasted — light, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Side note: Their almond croissants are incredible — we’re obsessed. We’ve already decided to come back on our one-year anniversary to pick up a mini version of our wedding cake and relive the magic of that day.
Huge thanks to Anne and the whole Parker-Lusseau team for making our celebration so special!“

“We stopped by this place and it was so good. I got the iced Mexican mocha and it was very unique and beautiful. I am coming back during my trip for another one. My husband got the French vanilla drip coffee and he enjoyed it. We also got the blueberry scone and the cheese danish. Both pastries were warmed up for us and delicious. The scone was so soft and we enjoyed it very much. The atmosphere is very calm and enjoyable and relaxing. This is on a corner, and if you are in the area honestly it’s worth stopping in!“
