Yes baby! The treats here are fire! I strolled in not knowing what I wanted, so I got quite a few things. My Uncle stole the blueberry lemon loaf. It looked kinda like a loaf pound cake. He was picking his fingers before even finishing his bites. EVERYTHING tasted amazing! I got the caramel cake, everything brownie, & Tod (lemon) cookie. OMG, smack me into a dessert coma it's that good. Probably the best caramel cake I've ever had. And if you've read my reviews, you know I've had my share. The gentleman at the counter was being modest about it flavor. He cut the first slice of the glorious looking cake right in front of me. I appreciate they leave the cake whole and it tastes like it as well. He also described everything really well. I had no questions and it was hard to make my decisions. The bakery is super clean with good music playing. I could see myself (and I will) sipping coffee, eating sweets, and working from there one morning. The vibe is cool & comfortable for any occasion. Beard game matters is now an understatement when it comes to baking! Thanks, Strugglebeard!

2.5 out of 5. Pros: Service was good, very responsive and friendly staff. I ordered the Chief Bartley, which is a salted caramel oatmeal cookie. I also ordered the butter cookie (lunchroom cookie). The cost was 11.00 which is comparable to Crumbl cookies. Cons: the butter cookie was not reminiscent of the ones I ate when I was younger. It wasn’t super buttery. It had more of a flour taste. I also could taste a hint of favoring which was too overpowering for it to be a true decadent buttered flavor cookie. It tastes more like a shortbread cookie. On the other hand, the salted caramel had a great taste. I listed it with cons because unfortunately I couldn’t eat it. I’m very sensitive to smells, and this cookie smelled like day old egg whites. It just ruined the entire experience for me. But again the initial bite was very good. The mixture of chocolate and caramel works really well. I may revisit to see if some of the other cookie items increase my overall review.
Vegetarian options: Some cookie items that are vegan.
Parking: This location is busy. There’s a small parking lot on Harper. It costs about 5 bucks for 2 hours.

The cookies are always made fresh and the cupcakes are delicious. The owner and staff are super nice. I’ve been purchasing the baked goods since the store opened. I workout at the gym above and we can even smell them upstairs. I get a workout and earn a little reward afterwards if I wanted. I’m getting married and plan to get a catering order for my wedding reception. The Redder Fox is my favorite. 10/10 would recommend.

As soon as you walk into the place the vibes are immaculate. It radiates comfort and peace. The owner is actually funny and not one of those people who assume they're funny.
The food presentation is immaculate. Everything looks so good you want to order one of everything.
Cupcakes were made like they came from heaven itself.
The staff is super friendly and part of the whole welcoming atmosphere.
Will be making a trip back just to get these again. There's also delivery but the atmosphere is unbeatable.

Very professional. Always fresh cupcakes. Very moist. Very mindful. Very considerate. Cute display cupcakes in the windows. Owner was there and friendly. A nice lady usually visits around the same time as me and is good at minding her own business and not bothering a single soul. Lemonade is good and just the right amount of sour. Employees seem happy.

Absolutely amazing baker! Wonderful person, the cookies are flippin delicious. Even though there aren't any candy corn cookies, all the sweets there are top notch. Not only are you supporting an owner who is hard working & fantastic, you're also getting some delicious yums that you'll want more of! I got my cookies delivered, out of state and they were fresh, packages well & came with clear instructions on how to keep them as fresh as possible.

Very unprofessional. Never any fresh cupcakes very dry. The same cupcakes sit in the window for weeks. Owner is never there. and a creepy lady stays there all the time. The lemonade decent but very sour. They’re very unfair with they’re employees.
