So impressed with this bakery. First, I called on a Sunday and they called me back! Was able to order for a birthday a day earlier than they normally do, The chocolate cream pie and banana cream pie were a hit! The pastry melts in your mouth. Pies were delicious! And I saw some more good things behind the counter. Highly recommend!

I purchased four pastries for $50 and was very disappointed with the quality. The chocolate fudge and salted chocolate pastries were quite hard, and the only noticeable taste was sugar rather than the rich cocoa flavor I expected. The pomegranate mousse also lacked depth and tasted more like artificial coloring than a true fruit flavor. Unfortunately, the products did not justify the high price, and I would not recommend them based on my experience . Staff also wasn’t courteous enough

idk how to feel about this place. It looks good but their desserts aren't too good when it comes down to taste and quality. I understand that they're expensive because of the time it takes to prepare these desserts. But taste wise it's just not worth it. I got a mini cake from them. It was supposed to be chocolate mousse but the stuff they put in there defintly cannot be considered mousse. It was dense and honestly just tasted like frosting. The cake itself was sparse and compared to all that frosting on it and in it, you could barely taste it. The flourless cake was okay, cannoli was good, but the tiramisu tasted like it had alcohol in it. It just tasted funny..

I've only ordered from Doordash, so can't say anything about the service or atmosphere but can speak on the taste and presentation. I'm vegan and they have several vegan options, which is a rarity for this area. One particular gem is the Vegan Strawberry Mousse Cake, which is my favorite dessert of all time. I've ordered it 4 or 5 times and it always comes nicely boxed in a beautiful presentation. I also loved the chocolate version (i tend to prefer strawberry to chocolate but anyone who loves chocolate would be a fan). Both are super silky, smooth and decadent.
The taste stays fresh for a good week, so it keeps well (and would probably freeze well). I highly recommend this piece to any fellow vegans for a nice treat, especially for major events, like holidays and birthdays (it is a little pricey for the smaller size but it's worth it for the quality).

Primrose is an exceptional bakery, specializing in EVERYTHING. They have cannolis, eclairs, cookies, petit fours, big cakes, little cakes, everything. I honestly love the energy, the dog friendly atmosphere, and how no one inside is racing around. I LOVE that there's a peacefulness inside. I'd rather walk in and wait a couple extra minutes than enter a space that is overwhelmed because the employees are at their wit's end. We will always make this our holiday dessert go to now that they went above and beyond for this year.

Their food is oakish but the lady at the desk needs to learn how to talk to customers. She was very rude when we asked her if they have any vegan options. She had take it or leave it attitude.
Also we paid like $13 for cake slice which seemed stale and tasted like it was spoiled, we had to throw it away as it wasn’t safe to eat.
I did expect better service and quality from them.

Wow the cannolis were amazing! Ordered 4 pistachio and 4 chocolate as dessert for an Italian dinner night. Several people commented that these cannolis are the best they’ve ever had! Great ratio, not too sweet and the shells were a fabulous crunchy! Will be recommending and ordering again. Thank you!

Disappointed with Overly Sweet Custom Birthday Cake
We’ve been loyal customers of this bakery for years. However, we were really disappointed with our recent custom birthday cake order.
The cake was overly sweet—so much so that it reminded us of store-bought cakes from Costco or Walmart, which is not what we expect from a specialty bakery. The flavors were overwhelmed by the sugar, and the texture also felt a bit off—more mass-produced than handcrafted.
We’ve always chosen your cakes because they stood out for their balanced taste and quality, but this one missed the mark. We hope this was just a one-off issue, but it did affect our celebration and left us quite dissatisfied.
We’d appreciate more consistency in the future, especially for custom orders.
