The cake was beautiful but the wording was not what I asked and paid for. This company sends you invoices wanting you to pay for the cake before you can see it. I made the mistake of paying first. For the price the cake decorator should be able to word things correctly. Someone put Happy 18 birthday instead of Happy 18th birthday on a cake that was close to $100. I didn't notice that until I got home and already paid full price. Things like that shouldn't happen but the cake was beautiful and taste great! Please give people what they pay for.

Gluten-Free and Absolutely Perfect! 🌊
We ordered our daughter’s first birthday cake and smash cake for her “ONEder the Sea” party, and they turned out amazing! The colors were fun, ocean-inspired, and exactly what we envisioned. Best of all, they were completely gluten-free — everyone was so impressed and couldn’t believe it! The cakes looked beautiful and tasted incredible. We’ll definitely be using them for all of our future cake needs! 🎂

If i was deathly allergic to bananas (I’m not), it would be 100% worth it to eat their banana pudding cake. Five stars isn’t enough!

The atmosphere was amazing and the service was just as amazing! Can't speak for their entire menu because I came for a gluten-free pastry. The only reason I went with a four-star was because there wasn't a large variety for people with gluten allergies. However, the gluten-free chocolate cake slice that I had did taste great! Would like to see them carry more options for gluten free diets on a daily basis

This is my 2nd time coming here. Both times the customer service was great but the cakes were not. The first time the cake I got was dry and had no flavor. I decided to try them again and this time I got the sweet potatoe biscoff cake and the cinnamon swirl coffee cake. The sweet potatoe biscoff cake barely had the cookie butter in it and the frosting tasted like they put too much butter. It tasted more like butter than frosting. The cinnamon coffee cake was just dry and bland. I was a little disappointed because I paid 15$ for 2 slices of cake. Overall, the customer service made up for the cakes but I probably wont reccomend to others

We’ve been here a few times before. We are never disappointed. The sanitation score is 100. It’s always clean. Today we came in day and I tried the peach pound cake for the first time. It was so delicious! I hope to get a few more slices in the next week or so.

This place is AMAZING. The service is top tier. The sweet potato honey bun cake is THE BEST CAKE I have ever had. Everyone was so kind and nice. Run don’t walk to this place.

This iced latte was the perfect refreshment for a warm day! The espresso had a lovely bold flavor that wasn't at all bitter, and it blended seamlessly with the chilled milk. It was just sweet enough, allowing the coffee to truly shine. So smooth and incredibly satisfying!

Stopped in here with my daughter for the first time and got some coffee cake. I am hit or miss on that generally but this was the softess fluffiest best tasting coffee cake I have ever had. We will definitely be returning and I will hopefully get to try their Nana pudding and red velvet pound cake cheesecake soon. The staff was awesome and I can’t wait to take my mom.

Run don't walk!
I have been here about 3 times now and it always seem to be better and more of a vibe each time. The prices are great, (I bought around 7 things and under 35$). Worth my drive and will be back!

Cute little mom and pop shop. I’ve been twice now and have yet to be disappointed. At my most recent visit, I asked for an iced caramel macchiato. The guy behind the counter was so sweet and the drink was SO good! Also really love the fact that they use coffee bean shaped ice cubes using real coffee! Nothing worse than watery coffee as your ice melts. Will definitely be going back!

Hello, consumer world!

I must say, my husband discovered this place on Instagram and we just had to try it—we’d never heard of it before. It truly is a hidden gem tucked away in a plaza that shines in its own way.

The standouts for us are the nana pudding and pound cakes. Of course, taste is subjective, so don’t just take my word for it—this is simply my opinion after trying several items. The shop itself is quaint, cozy, and inviting—a great place to grab a coffee, a treat, and relax or catch up with friends.

One thing I really appreciated was their discounts for military, first responders, and teachers—a thoughtful touch. The staff was friendly, and I had great interactions with both the gentleman and the lady with red hair. They seemed to take real pride in the business (I’m not sure who owns it), and the customer service definitely reflected that. My first visit was a pleasant and memorable one!

Now, on to a bit of constructive feedback:

It’s disappointing that the nana pudding is only available Fridays and Saturdays. Unfortunately, my husband had a less-than-stellar experience last Friday. He doesn’t usually like leaving the house, but made the trip (baby in tow!) just to grab some pudding and cakes. He said a young lady—not the usual friendly crew—was short and had an attitude, telling him, “We’re closing soon!” and “We don’t have any more!” No greeting, no courtesy—just abrupt. That’s disappointing. We go out of our way—25 minutes—to support this small business, but poor customer service is a deal breaker for us. Overall, it’s worth a try! I’m sure you’ll find your own favorites
