“Located in the cargo district very easy to find free parking plenty of flavors to choose from and the flavors are absolutely delicious. We share them with our whole family and just ate about the whole half dozen reasonably priced. We will absolutely be back again such a cute atmosphere you can tell she puts love into what she bakes. The flavors are just so perfect. You can mix and match so we could do all the same this time we mix so much and just tried a bunch of different ones. The pecan one was so good along with the vanilla one and the chocolate one. 10/10 recommend.“

“We had such a wonderful experience working with Alexis at Lexie’s Layers for our wedding cake! The tasting process was super easy and stress-free, making it simple to pick out exactly what we wanted. Alexis has truly mastered gluten-free baking—the cake was incredibly fresh, moist, and delicious, exceeding all our expectations.

Her delivery and execution on the big day were flawless, perfectly matching our vision. On top of that, Alexis went above and beyond by helping us incorporate a surprise birthday cake into our wedding festivities, which was a fantastic and memorable touch!

If you’re looking for exceptional baked goods and a smooth, enjoyable process, we highly recommend Alexis and Lexie’s Layers. She made such a sweet part of our celebration unforgettable!“

“I cannot recommend Burney's (Wilmington location specifcially) enough! The owner, Anthony, is incredibly kind and generous. I used them for my wedding desserts and got 6 flavors of croissants, cake balls, white wedding cake and a 15 layer caramel cake. Several people told me it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. My only regret is not getting more croissants because they were gone SO FAST - people are still talking about them! Not only was the quality of everything amazing (as it always is when I'm just visiting the store), but everyone was so kind and helpful. I did several tastings and this one was by far the best (in flavor and service), they have so many options, are super customizable, have a reliable staff - truly everything you could want in a local bakery or a wedding vendor!“

“Wow!!!! Just amazing!!! I could not get an order to go through online nor could my daughter so went to store. Line was long so knew it would be a long wait to get my order ready. Got the order in, they were so nice and went above and beyond for me. Said it would be about an hour, which I fully understood being how busy they were. I was going to wait in car and gave them my number to txt when ready. I want ya to know in less than 10 minutes they brought my order out to me!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it. Sooooo unbelievable!!!! Thank you so so much!!!!! Those teachers at Belville Elem. are loving their treats I’m sure!!!!!! Thank you so much again I truly appreciate all your great customer service!!!!!! Love, love this place!!!!!“

“Always amazing. I have trouble picking my favorite so usually get 2 each time.“

“This place nails it every time! Super friendly staff and the bagels are incredible! We make the drive from rocky point to just get them!“

“If you’re looking for the ultimate iced coffee fix, Port City Java has you covered. ❄️☕

Smooth, bold, and perfectly chilled, their iced coffee hits that sweet spot between rich flavor and refreshing coolness. Bonus: it’s strong enough to get you going, but never bitter. Add a splash of cream or flavor, and you’re basically sipping happiness in a cup.“
