Got some cupcakes for a gift. Ordered online was very pleased with the cupcakes and the service. Well most definitely will make this a must go to bakery for me! Highly recommend.

Bakery items were extremely expensive. Hours are horrible, they close at 3pm most days. I have stopped there a couple times and they were closed at times the door said they were open in the middle of the day. The owner lady is very rude when you talk to her or ask questions. The bakery items are okay, but the things that matter the most about a business were not.

I came in awhile week back to order a cake for an occasion. I waited at the counter about 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. They kept looking at me but couldn't even simply say "someone will be with you, shortly." The looks felt very unwelcoming, too.. Poor attitude, low selection of every day items which look better than they taste, and high prices for quality. I love pastries and bakery and was very excited to check this place out. They were my first choice for a cake. Way overpriced and terrible customer service. Like someone said in another review "they need to cheer up." I ended up getting a cake a Walmart for $80 and was quite impressed with their quality, filling options, presentation, availability and price. Going forward I don't ever think a "high end" cake designer will be ever worth the money after an experience like this.Note: I came in twice because I thought maybe my first impression was a fluke and I caught them on an off day or just got unlucky with one employee. The second time I came in to inquire, I had the same exact treatment and vibe from a different employee. Still received the same unwelcoming looks and had a long wait before being acknowledged as a customer. Very disappointing, because I love contributing to local businesses and am more than willing to pay a higher price as long as the quality or service isn't mediocare.

It's a cute shop. Plenty of spots to sit, drink coffee, and eat your goodies. The counter didn't have a huge selection when we were there but it all looked good. The gentleman working was friendly and helpful.

The knotty pine bakery has a warm and inviting feel that pairs with the delicious smells of sweet treats. I would recommend the raspberry danish.

I ordered a cake last minute and Marie was so great to work with. Very responsive and was able to create just the look I was hoping for. The cake looked great and tasted incredible. Literally melted in your mouth, delicious. If you’re in the Brainerd area and need a cake definitely recommend.

This bakery is super cute inside and everything we bought was delicious.

Somehow our pick up date for our order was incorrect. Therefore, when we went to pick up the cake it was frozen. They provided directions on how to defrost it, but I think we did it incorrectly, because the cake was extremely dried out. For the cost of the cake, this was extremely disappointing. The buttercream frosting was delicious and smooth, but the dryness really ruined the whole experience. The shop is very cute. I love the color palette they used.

Walked in thinking it was going to actually be a bakery but it was set up like a fancy coffee shop. Very cute but very disappointing. A box of cookies were $18 and a small cake donut was $3.50. Hope they can stay in business. We are a tourist town but this isn't the town busy enough for this.

I have been to this place one time for sure and wasn't super impressed. Though the shop itself is very cute and inviting, the desserts just weren't as delisious as I was led to believe.

The baked goods offered are great. But this is not your traditional bakery. Lots of hand crafted treats, cookies, rolls, cake etc. You will not find cases of donuts or selections of bread.

This bakery has the best cupcakes and baked goods. The owner is real and ready to help the customers with very positive answers. She even got me a great deal on flowers on valentines day. Cant say enough Thanks. Thank you

Unreal, this place is a gem. Give it a try, my cinnamon roll was the best!

Murad Ilyasov

Nice place with delicious donuts. A little compared to standard donut places/bakeries but looks very nice and clean inside. Chocolate donuts a perfect start to your day!
