“If you want a custom cake that is perfect in appearance and in taste then you found your spot. Lyla Jones Cake Studio did an excellent job on my custom cake it was the center piece of party. All the fine details and the colors were perfect. I truly believe no one could have done any better. The characters were all hand made to the exact specifications that were asked. Not only that but after everybody had there share piece of the cake the characters were able to be kept and stored for a memory that will last a life time. I dont see myself getting a cake from anywhere else other than Lyla Jones Cake Studio. 10 out of 10“
“It was our first Sunflower bakery experience, and it was awesome! The owners are very kind, fast responsive, super responsible, easy to understand, very generous and does absolutely amazingly tasty cakes ! The owner verified our pick up and had it ready in time! We ordered 2 tier Chocolate and strawberry birthday cake with decorations and it was delicious! It seems like a good balance between soft to eat and steady enough to transport cake! We eat it for 4 days and it was still good. Price wasn’t cheap but not the most expensive one either. One thing we know for next time is not to order fresh fruit filling because it is not fresh after one day, better jam filling instead or none. Thank you Sunflower bakery!“
“Without a doubt, Pincho Loco has some of the most delicious, flavor-packed ice cream and treats you’ll find not only in the city, but in the entire region! My go to is their Italian ice or their ice cream cake slice. Everything is delicious, fresh, and creamy (if it’s supposed to be), plus the prices are great for what you get. They have exceptional service as well. There are ice cream shops literally everywhere, but they rarely go beyond “eh, it’s good ice cream.” This place sets and tops the bar, then raises it some more! I try to make a stop any time I’m in Durham.“
“I ordered a cake for my sisters 87th birthday and I ordered 60 cupcakes with a Betty Boop theme. They were delivered with care and everyone raved about how good they turned out... the service was amazing I even ordered from out of state! The owner was superior and she kept in contact with me the whole time! Iwoulduse them again“
“Bull city bake shop has a beautiful selection of pastries and desserts that look and taste wonderful! The owner and her son are wonderful people and were happy to chat while I enjoyed my treats! They even have a viewing area to watch them make their pastries and cakes! Glad to know this place is on my way home because I'll be stopping by more often!“

“This bakery gives you a fairy tale feeling with the sugary aroma. There were so many treats that I went every day of my trip. Take your time; look and ask about their offerings. I had the macarons, and they were phenomenal! The ham and cheese croissant was amazing. My favorite item was the maple bourbon tartlet. I'd recommend getting desert here versus other places in the area.“
“La Raclette Patisserie is an absolute hidden treasure. Run solely by the incredibly sweet owners, it's a delightful fusion of Middle Eastern flavors with a French twist, reflecting the Algerian roots of the proprietors. As a Moroccan myself, I couldn't be happier stumbling upon this gem. The pastries not only look stunning but taste absolutely divine, offering a perfect blend of Middle Eastern and French influences.Though the spot may be a bit tucked away, it's well worth the hunt. Just a heads-up: Arrive early to ensure you snag your favorite pastries before they sell out in the afternoon. Trust me, this is one spot you won't want to miss out on!“
