UNACCEPTABLE! Find a new bakery for your important event unless you'd like to be embarrassed... We ordered a very light blue cake for a baby shower and paid $140+. What we received was completely unacceptable: 1. Cake arrived cracked with visible damage 2. Wrong color (nothing like we requested) - This was not light blue for a baby shower! 3. Sloppy, uneven frosting with just a few cheap pearl candies 4. Smudges in the box and poor overall presentation 5. Spots of blue food coloring where the icing was not even mixed completely For such an important occasion, this was a huge disappointment. Avoid this bakery for your special events.

This is my 2nd time here today, first time was a year or two ago when it first opened. We got the cheesecake and really enjoyed it. I would’ve given it 5 stars based on the food. However, I wish there were labels and prices for the items. I kept asking the employee about what was each dessert and could tell she was getting irritated. I shouldn’t feel rushed or pressured to choose an item, especially if it’s my first time in awhile and there’s no description of the items. It made it harder to decide. Just constructive criticism.

Tried a gluten free cupcake, and it was amazing!! Many places don’t offer gluten free options with such rich and delicious tastes. I highly recommend trying this place! The topping is so delicious. A little pricey but the taste definitely makes up for it.

I am so glad I stopped in this store while visiting the area. What a pleasant surprise. The store is beautiful and the desserts are spectacular! I couldn’t decide so I ended by 4 different desserts. All of them were delicious! My favorite were the Dubai Chocolate Brownie and the Key Lime 🍋‍🟩 Pie. The owner was super friendly and her staff was amazing! I loved the whole experience. I loved all the details of packaging the desserts to take home. It definitely majes a difference. If you are in this area you need to give it a try. You will not regret it. Highly recommended! 🥰♥️🥰♥️

Amazing sweets and pastries! We got a large box filled for only $40. Nothing we had was anything less than delightful. The customer service was also phenomenal! Wouldn't recommend more.

I'm so happy I went in here! First of all, I love the customer service from Jocelyn and her knowledge of the bakery and baked goods. She was happy and ready to serve, what a breath of fresh air! I got the Latte, Baklava, Chocolate Pop, and Ube Creme Brulee. We ate the Baklava, it's sticky, nutty, and perfect sweetness exactly how I love it. I can't wait to have the rest! Thank you Shar, mabuhay!

They were so accommodating and friendly. Took my inspo and made it a reality, even better that it tasted as good as it looked!

The cake i bought was stale and dry it had to have been old. The frosting was so thick and tasted of straight butter. I really wanted to make this my local bakery for celebratory occasions. 😓

I wanted to love this place. On my first visit I found the owner to be such a sweet energetic person that wanted nothing more than her business to succeed. What I found was that the desserts were dry and had looked like they had been sitting there longer than they should have. We purchased a couple of cakes and were not impressed. I wanted to give this place another try the other day. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a very pleasant young lady who made sure that if we had any questions they were answered. My daughters wanted to try a few of their cupcakes so we decided to take a couple home. I purchased a berry, tiramisu and birthday cupcake. They all were very dry and you could tell that they were not fresh. I also purchased a piece of baklava that I instantly had to throw away due to the taste. I paid $37 for four items and I can honestly say it was a complete waste of money.

Someone brought these cupcakes to a party I was at. I had cookies and cream and they were delicious. One cupcake was more than enough sugar for one person and I probably wouldn’t eat one by myself again since I got jittery but they were delicious. It also had a pudding like center which was a nice surprise. I had another two days later and it was still moist and delicious.

I've been here many occasions. As a matter of fact, made to order beignets on the weekends are now part of our weekend tradition! I am always impressed by the consistency of the baked goods. I've tried almost everything on the menu at this point. Yes, the frosting is not your typical frosting, it's less sweet than your typical frosting, which I personally enjoy.

So why only four stars if everything was rated five? The cost. This place (in my opinion) is a bit more pricey than the value I receive. That doesn't stop me from coming, but it certainly limits how frequently I visit. The cost could be knocked down by 10-15% and it be more reasonable. Certainly a cut above when it comes to quality, but the price point doesn't quite meet expectations.

That being said, the owner is fantastic and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Great little bake shop for a quick treat!
