Bad customer service and they don't own their errors. Rude as well! Will never patronize this place

I ordered 25 loaves of Challah for an Israeli themed banquet for a conference! I was SO impressed! The loaves were beautifully browned, and pulled apart with a stretchy texture, not to mention the TASTE!!! I happily munched on leftover Challah the whole week of the conference! So recommend it!

Barb encouraged me to try the Nutella Iced Brownie. It was flavorful. I would definitely try it again. While visiting I witnessed a couple planning their wedding cake. They are at the same location as Cottage Flowers which I guess is much better location.

Everything at Zinnia's is a treat, and the owner is a delight. I'm so glad to have this new location so close to work, but it might be dangerous. The thin mint cupcake was oh-so-good!

The owners are wonderful! Love the pastries here too.

I absolutely adore Zinnia's! Krystal has made my wedding cake, groom's cake, and baby shower cupcakes. I've also tried countless cupcakes, rice crispy treats, macarons, and other various treats. Everything that I have tried is absolutely delicious! Not to mention, Krystal and her mother are two of the sweetest people on the face of the planet! I will continue to buy all of my baked goods from Krystal for as long as she is in business!

I ordered a Panda cake for my daughter's birthday this past weekend and it perfectly mirrored some of the inspiration pics I shared with Krystal. My daughter needs to avoid gluten so to be able to find a bakery that offers safe and artistic options is a huge win for us! The cake was not only beautiful but moist and delicious as well. We were very impressed and will definitely be hiring Zinnia's for future birthday celebrations! Thanks Zinnia's for the beautiful cake!

Calling all cupcake lovers of Fort Wayne... Try this place! I am not a seeker of cupcakes like most of friends but I happened to see this shop in the city exchange shop center. I tried the blueberry lemon cupcake with vanilla buttercream icing (good not overly sweet). The cupcake was moist, the lemon and blueberry flavor were excellent complement of each other. I loved it! That says a lot because I am very picky with my cupcakes. They do an excellent job of balancing the flavors, the texture, and consistency! I also really appreciate the helpful and truthfulness of the sales lady ( I should've asked for her name). She's amazing. I feel that most experiences are really influenced by the people that provide the services and she made mine a 5-star! AND look at the list of deals below: $2.75/ cupcake (so cheap, so cheap) $2.35 followers of instagram Wed : $2 cupcakes Thursday: free drink with service Fri: 15% off Fridays Support local and make life sweeter!

The service at Zinnia's is top notch! I breezed in before work, hoping to pick up scones for our crew. I needed a few more than were available. The person behind the counter told me that if I called ahead next time they could have them ready, which I had never considered and was happy to know for future purchases.
I ordered my moms 50th birthday cake here and it was to DIE for. The service was amazing and the cake was not only utterly delicious but I was floored by how beautiful the design was. I will most definitely be returning!!

I like the concept, the location, and everything looks great. I have had nothing but good experiences with their friendly staff. However, I have been disappointed by the flavors and textures and even though I keep trying I haven't found anything that justifies a third star. Cupcakes - Mostly frosting, and that's okay, because the two cupcakes I tried were a bit dry and didn't have much flavor on their own. Sugar overload for not much enjoyment. Empanadas - The filling wasn't bad but the dough was so greasy I couldn't eat it. I like butter, but I don't want to feel like I'm eating a stick of it for lunch. I do like the clever idea of stamping initials on the tops of them so you don't have to guess at what's inside if you know what the letters stand for. The sweet and savory flavors should have different crusts; the base recipe isn't sweet enough to pair well with fruit. Other things I've tried were underbaked, doughy, and not flavorful. I am a baker myself and I have pretty high standards if I'm going to buy baked goods rather than making them. This place was an unfortunate miss for me.

Go there on Saturdays for the Best Beignets you can get in town. Fluffy pillows of yumminess, go early because sadness will ensue if they run out (and they do!). Their empanadas are delicious warmed up and several different flavors, haven't had one I didn't like. I am looking forward to checking out their new second location downtown but haven't gotten a chance to stop by.

I really wanted to like this bakery but they failed on so many levels I just can't. I ordered a custom cake and asked for it to be ready by 10. Showed up and they said they had me down for a 1:00 pickup and the cake wasn't ready yet. Fine. So I had to take an extra hour out of my two year olds birthday to go back later and get the cake. Went back, and the design I requested (one of their own off of their Facebook page) wasn't anything like the photo. It was clear the decorator rushed and left off a lot of details. Once we got home and cut into the cake, we found out that the strawberry filling we requested and was told was indeed in the cake as not. It was just a plain white cake with buttercream. Absolutely disappointing and will not be returning.

Update 2/13/2016: Krystal replied last night apologizing for not responding earlier (other emails were replied to in mere minutes, but this one received a reply after I posted on Yelp. There could be a rational reason for the delay, but the timing is suspect.) She said she understood their products were not for everyone....I am not quite sure who likes Apple Paczkis with no Apple filling...but I will agree it's only my negative opinion I hold. I will agree with that notion because I'm sure there are people when given a jelly donut from Dunkin Donuts under the guise it's a paczki would respond with, "Yum! Delicious." Krystal said she will refund 50% of my purchase. Yay! Improvement. However, I still can't decide if I would have paid $19 for the order knowing what I know now. +1 Star for some financial compensation.
