“We got our cake done by Water's Edge Sweet Tooth & we're so glad we did. Working with Kim was so enjoyable and the tasting was something out of a rom-com!!

Kim was professional, listened to what we wanted, punctual with delivery and we ended up with the most beautiful and delicious cake EVER. I STRONGLY recommend the apple butter vanilla cake, I'll be dreaming about it forever.“

“Toddler and mama “approved” and loved. I’ve heard of Slabtown cookie but we just ventured our way to try it for ourselves and WOW, no picture or words can give justice to how their sweets taste. My son has happy to say the least 😋“

“My first loaf with many purchases to follow. I purchased the Italian sourdough love it but salty . Will look for less salty offerings . TY for caring about our health“

“Have been buying Asiago Roasted Garlic bread for years. Great Bread toasted loaded with real garlic cloves. However the last loaf lacked any Garlic at all. Very disappointed is this the new norm to be expected or was this an aberration? The latter I would hope otherwise we will be opting for a new bakery. Have a nice day ?☀️“

“Any of their cookies✌️❤️ So Good!!!!!😁“

“Lemon lavender cookies. 🎤 drop“

“Not only is the bread delicious and preservative free, each loaf is made with the highest standards by the dedicated employees and owners.“

“I was very disappointed with my donuts. As it is they were kinda pricey. But I really don’t mind paying if it’s worth it. I took my donuts home and out the bag and my nutty donut were gross. It was like they got wet I don’t know what happen to them. I had the little nutty donut hole before and they tasted good. This was the regular size donut. I seen on the receipt they offer a refund. But such an inconvenience to drive the way back and have to wait in line. Especially when you worked all night. Who wants a wet & cold nutty donut. I know I don’t. Sorry Pottery Bakery. You got a thumbs down from me.!“

“At The Bake Shop, there is alot of good bread and cookies and sweet breads for sale for reasonable cost“

“Nancy was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding at Castle Farms! She made our cake and dessert table. The desserts were flying off the table and our guests all raved about how yummy everything was. Nancy was accommodating to our schedules for our cake tasting since we lived out of state and had great communication. Highly recommend! (photo of cake by Sidney Bischer Photography).“

“I'm not a whiskey drinker, but my partner is, so we choose this cool looking place! It's in an converted old building easily located on a corner. Nice ambiance on the inside with high top tables spread out nicely. The recommendation for a new an 'entry level' whiskey drinker was a Cherry Whiskey Sour. It was smooth with a mild, pleasant cherry flavor. I'll definitely get another one! Or try something different from the interesting list of drinks. My partner had the There were some very appealing hot drinks on the menu, too. A number of simple appetizers were available. We sat outside near heat lamps. The Staff was friendly and the bartender very helpful! Glad we stopped and we look forward to returning!“

“Best ice cream shop yet !, fresh and unique. was so delicious and they made it quickly!“

“Stopped here on our way out of town and SO glad we did!!! The gingerbread latte and chestnut mocha are both to die for! The molasses cookie that came with the gingerbread latte was also amazing. On top of that, the atmosphere is so cool. Definitely do yourself a favor and stop by when you’re in Sutton’s Bay!“

“always fresh.. great staff“

“They did a cake for my husband and I and 180 cupcakes for my wedding in June and they were DELICIOUS. we got so many compliments on the desserts, would definitely hire them again!“

“Visited Good Harbor Coffee and Bakery recently and had a pretty good experience overall.
• Coffee: The coffee was satisfying and well-prepared. It hit the spot and definitely warrants a return trip for caffeine lovers.
• Breakfast: The breakfast options were decent, though I found them a bit on the dry side. Some tweaks to the preparation could make the meals much more enjoyable.
• Atmosphere: Cozy vibes and a welcoming environment make this spot great for a relaxed morning or a casual meet-up.
Would recommend for their coffee, and with a few improvements to the breakfast menu, this place could easily become a local favorite.“

“Didn't eat, just had a hot Macha. Warmly received and quickly taken care of. Pretty good volume of people present for a mid Wednesday morning. Personally I'd prefer more smaller tables than the large community tables inside, but that's just me. Love the outdoor space but it was too cold to use this visit. Very cool building and love the parking lot not being dirt or paved but a gravel infilled grid. Looking forward to going back to try more things.“

“I am only rating because I have been there a few times with many people and just a couple. Every time the food is great and service spectacular. The kitchen crew does a great job from the details (egg poached perfectly) to the variety. Variety with high quality — I get something different every time, and the kitchen has hit a home run each time!“

“This is a wonderfully curated, warm little spot, that has IMMACULATE pastries! Like seriously, how can somebody make stuff so tasty? We got some maritozzi, which were semi-sweet brioche filled with house-made whipped cream.

My girlfriend had a blueberry cream Danish that was suuuuuuuper tasty, and really interesting in its layering. Instead of the traditional, basic layering, this almost seemed to have much more crisp, yet dense layering. My descriptors are super duper getting away from me here, but anyway, they were phenomenal on all counts.

Support local: buy a croissant from a kind local baker!“
