“If the Heirloom Deluxe grilled cheese has 1000 fans, I’m one of them. If the Heirloom Deluxe grilled cheese has 1 fan, it’s me. If the Heirloom Deluxe grilled cheese has no fans, I’m dead. This menu item makes my toes curl with 100% certainty ever single time.“

“Incredible blueberry scones!! The most delicious I’ve ever had! Highly recommended by me and my morning cup of coffee. ;)“

“Tried for the first time today, the queso was incredible. My 7 year old raved about it all night. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing. We had burritos and the ceviche. The portions you get for the price is perfect. Basically 2 meals for the price of one. We will definitely return.“

“Deluxe has been a consistent go-to choice for any dessert (our wedding cakes!) or treats (cookies for our veterinarian) They have done multiple special orders (Scottie shortbread and gingerbread) over the years, but just grabbing some petit-fours or an almond apricot croissant to hit the spot.“

“What do I recommend about Press? The owners, the staff, the coffee, the atmosphere, their ethos and values. This coffee shop is a gem, I am so glad they are in my neighborhood. They support local artists and local events. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Always a delight for any book lover.“

“Must stop everytime I go to Kalona. They are closed in January & February as well as all Sundays. They have many flavors of pies, cookies, rolls, donuts, jams/jellies, & other items. Bring cash or a check since they do not accept cards.“

“My 8-year-old daughter is severely allergic to eggs so we were thrilled to find Andy's Pastry Shop! We ordered some mini vanilla cupcakes and they are fantastic!! The frosting is buttery and silky, and the cake is moist and absolutely delicious. You would never know it's vegan! Andy is SO friendly and accommodating to whatever needs you may have. I highly recommend this bakery!“

“Thank you for supporting UIHC Labor and Delivery/ Mother Baby during Nurses Week!!“

“For the second year in a row, Paige made a delicious and beautiful cake for our kids’ birthday party! Guests raved about the funfetti and chocolate flavors we had this year. The cakes are always beautiful and perfectly represent what we discuss! Paige is detailed, organized, and reliable. I would definitely recommend her for your cake needs!“

“Amazing cakes turned out beautiful and tasted amazing! Pickup/delivery made super convenient! Was able to work with allergy needs. Customer service was more than I could have dreamed of all around an amazing experience will be using her for forever after our first experience! Also highly recommend if you’re on a budget!“

“I stopped in here for the first time this past weekend after eating at Iowa Athletic Club. I wanted to try C& D after having Crumbl a couple of times recently. While Crumbl was good, the Snickerdoodle Cheesecake (I think that's the name) cookie I chose from C&D was hands down the best dessert I've EVER had! 10/10, phenomenal. It's now going to live tent-free in my head!“

“I am rating this a 5 even when the food says 4 stars. It's only because the dip containers are small for their price.

I wanted Auntie Anne's the other day when I was in town but all I found was Pretzel Maker in their spot, thinking that they were replaced. If you read my review there you can see how disappointed I was in their product.

Auntie Anne's gave me the pretzel flavor I was yearning for and the cheese sauce (although small) had a mildly sharp cheese flavor that was good. The price for the serving size of the pretzel bites was decent. The overall price was $10.14 with two dipping sauces. I would have liked the sauce size to be larger for what we purchased.

The lady running the cash register was nice and answered my questions.

I did not rate the atmosphere as it was a mall location.“

“We love the treats. They are the best with real ingredients. I have found nothing that compares to their quality. I love that you can get custom treats as well. And buy in bulk or order specialty treats for your family and friends. The options seem endless with this company. Thank you Woofables.“

“Their almond cookies is what heaven would taste like if it were one particular cookie. I was blown away by the cinnamon, even more by the vanilla and then I got my hands on the almond woowee so delicious, taste just like my ALMOND wedding cake ♥️ Hooked for life!“

“Excellent customer service. They accidentally gave me an 8 inch instead of 10 inch and I had to wait no more than 5 minutes for them to decorate a new one for me but they still offered me a free bundtlette for waiting 💙“

“❤ Great place to order your diner from. Very tasty and original menu's and great to work with. I would highly recommend.“

“Everything they make is amazing!“

“I love Scratch cupcakes and whenever I come to Iowa City I ALWAYS make it a point to stop by and get cupcakes. This time my wife and I were here to celebrate our daughter's first birthday and of course I placed an order for 15 cupcakes. When I went to pick it up the gal at the counter didn't know how to ring us up and had to call a manager making us late for another pick up and eventually the event itself. And then when we got home we realized that they had given us a cupcake short (box of 12 and a box of 2) eventhough they charged us for 15. Thankfully a couple of guests couldn't make it so we were fine. But it was an unnecessary stress on our little one's birthday. The cupcakes themselves were phenomenal as usual though. Definitely get your cupcakes here.... Just count before you leave.“
