We have ordered a cannoli cake from here in the past and it was always a 10/10. However, this time it was quite disappointing. The cake was very heavy with rum extract flavor, which was overpowering. Additionally, there was styrofoam placed under the cake that was smaller than the cake itself. When we cut the cake, we accidentally cut into the styrofoam and almost ate it, which was quite surprising since this has never happened before.

I carved out part of the cake in order to take a photo of the styrofoam to show you. We’re not sure what went wrong this time—perhaps there’s a new baker? We just wanted to bring this to your attention.

Amazing rum cake and desserts

We ordered their famous rum cake for my mother's birthday but you can't just get the cake and leave so 4 eclairs, a loaf of Vienna bread and some fresh Pecan muffins later we left extremely happy! The service was like we were family! It's worth the short ride!

I have been going here for decades. We get all of our special occasion cakes here. The absolute best in the area. I travel a half hour to go here from my new house.

I got boiled cream cannolis that were filled while I waited. Unfortunately the cannoli was already mushy that same day. The filling was lacking in flavor and turned brown in the refrigerator within 72 hours. I've never experienced any of this with freshly made cannolis. My guess is they were both old.
The biscotti and half moons were good.

I've never not liked any dessert, but the rum cake was horrible. It was watery and tasted like plastic. Very disappointed.

I bought 4 pastries. 1 Neapolitan
2 black n whites and a lemon square. The Neapolitan was not edible. I don’t know how long it was in the shop but it was rock hard and the black n whites were stale. Lemon square was good. Not worth the money.

First time here in a few years. I got the bread, muffins and chocolate chip cookies. The food and service was great. I do wish a receipt was automatically given.
