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. đ

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 wouldnât 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!

Stpped in today to get a dessert. The dessert I chose was amazing.
Spoke with Shar for a fair amount of time and find her to be a very well spoken and delightful person.
The employees I interacted with were professional and courteous.
Overall a wonderful experience that I hope to have again when I'm next in Florida.

My husband and I have tried so many different desserts from here over the last 8 months or so and have enjoyed every bite of each item. The mousse desserts are all delicious, and the flavor combinations are always a hit. One item we always get is a PB&J cookie. Those are delectable, with a great peanut butter flavor, little crunch on the outside, soft and chewy inside. And, it has just the right amount of jelly...which flavors vary, but all have been quite yummy.
