Stopped by today after my son’s football practice for the first time. What a charming place! The service was excellent and we got some baked goods and my son got lunch to go. Highly recommend the tiramisu lava cake. Brought it home and had it with some coffee ice cream, delicious. My son got the chicken fingers and he said they’re fantastic. The fries are great as well.

It's a cute place, but very loud. Difficult to talk amongst ourselves without shouting. We gave up on conversation, but the food was good.

Had a strange experience here yesterday. We stopped in for a quick bite before an event. No one greeted us when we walked in, so I asked whether we should order at the counter or be seated and was told to seat ourselves. Our server was very friendly and quick with bringing us menus and drinks.

We wanted breakfast, but they stop serving it at noon, so we ordered simple lunch items instead, chicken tenders and a sloppy joe. We waited about 40 minutes, watching other tables arrive, order, and get their food. To save some time when we left I went to the bakery to pick out some items to take home. While I was there I overheard staff saying they were out of chicken tenders and sloppy joes—the exact items we ordered.

When I returned to the table my fiance wasn't aware and I told him I didn't think we were going to get our food and he was so confused. Then our server came over, clearly embarrassed, and explained she had just learned the kitchen was out of our food.
She said the owner asked her to apologize profusely and offer us anything else on the house. We politely declined since nothing else appealed to us and we had somewhere to be.

Unfortunately, the bakery items weren’t very good either—most were overly sweet, except for an okay cinnamon roll.

Overall, the place felt poorly managed. The owner should have addressed the issue directly instead of putting the burden on the server and the cooks should have made the server aware they were out of our food instead of making us wait close to an hour for food they couldn't serve or run to Publix to be able to serve it. I won’t be returning or recommending this spot, that's for sure.

I’ve always wanted to try this place, so I finally did today. The décor is nice, and the staff was friendly. I couldn’t decide what to order, so I went with a burger and fries maybe that was my mistake, choosing a burger at a bakery. I’d heard great things about their baked goods, so I figured it was worth a try.

The burger, unfortunately, was pretty small and tasted more like a meatloaf patty than a burger patty and to top it off it was dry which was disappointing for $15. I considered adding bacon, but at an extra $4, I passed. The best part was actually the bun it seemed freshly made and really good. The fries, on the other hand, were soft and lacked any crispiness. The included cookie was a nice touch and definitely good. On a side note my wife had the club and said it was good.

My first time here so I didn’t really know the protocol on ordering there was a slight mistake but I didn’t think to much of it. But Ashley and Becky went out of there to fix it. Service / hospitality here is amazing.

Trust God

Excellent selection of baked goods, the prices are a little high though.

We are still swooning over the cakes The Baking Grounds made for our daughter’s wedding this past weekend! From start to finish, they were kind, patient, and endlessly professional—answering all of our questions (and there were a lot!) with a smile. I was honestly panicking about transporting and keeping the cakes fresh. The staff at The Baking Grounds calmly walked me through every step so I didn’t ruin a single thing. True lifesaver! And the cakes themselves? Stunning and absolutely delicious. The wedding cake and the groom’s cake were exactly what our daughter imagined! Every bite was a little piece of happiness, and the designs were flawless. If you want a baker who listens, creates the most delicious masterpieces, and makes the whole process fun instead of stressful, The Baking Grounds is your place. We are so grateful. They really made the wedding extra sweet (pun intended).
