“Ruthann’s did the cake and cupcakes for my wedding this past weekend and they were absolutely phenomenal! The cake is so moist and the buttercream is so airy. It’s not overly sweet either which I really liked. The cake was designed beautifully and everyone really loved the cupcakes. We even got coffee from them the day after, I am not a big coffee fan (especially hot) but it was really good too!”

“Good coffee selection with cute names! Breakfast bagels were DELICIOUS! The sausage patty was dang near a 1/2 inch thick! Their cinnamon roll was sinful! Will definitely be back if we’re in the area again.”

Good ambiance and fast service”
