“Amazing customer service! Went above and beyond to help out with a surprise for a 30th birthday/ bachelorette party cake!“

“So many Reasons to visit! Jewish rye, jalapeño cream cheese croissanty thing, cherry anything, and that's just me! Hubs has his own list of delights. Gotta get there early, though. Items sell out!“

“My husband and I love Mattie Lou’s! Everyone there is incredibly kind and welcoming. The biggest problem I have is not buying one of each item. My husband loves the peanut butter cookies and the biscuits. Her ham and cheese croissants are the best I’ve ever had. I also love the brown sugar lattes. Mattie Lou has become our Friday must visit.“

“Stopped in this morning and grabbed a few things. The cinnamon roll is amazing!! Will be back! Highly recommend stopping in and trying them!“

“Where to start?! I’ve been gluten free for more than 15 years. It’s hard to find good gluten free dessert (even making your own)! My hubby surprised me with a cake from Butterbug’s and WOW! Everything they’ve made is delicious! I love the flavor combinations. I cannot recommend them enough!! My latest scrumptious treat…Pink Paradise Grapefruit Cheesecake! It was mouthwatering!!!!“

“Every time I go into Crumbl cookie they are getting down in there. They have nobody working in the cash register they have to stop mixing the cookie dough to service It’s clients. That calls for hard-working bakers, determined and loyal to the company.“

“You can’t go wrong with the AMAZING pound cakes! So far, Ive had the vanilla, almond and last, but not least, turtle! The cakes are delicious and worth every penny. Not only can you have the cake shipped to you, its FAST!! The customer service is above and beyond as well. Highly recommend.“

“We ordered a chocolate cheesecake and she delivered the flavor! She responds very quickly and everything went smoothly. Address was easy to find for pickup, she took Venmo, and was very sweet! She came highly recommended from someone who says “anything you order will be the best you’ve had!”. Ordering was easy, too!“

“We had a pre-wedding dinner at the Rabbit Hole and it couldn’t have gone better. From the initial communication, to the wonderful space, everything was great and perfect for a smaller gathering. But oh my goodness, the FOOD got rave reviews all around. You cannot go wrong with what you choose because everyone loved everything we chose for our menu. Recommended so much some of our wedding guests went back to Sunny Point for brunch after the wedding.“

“The pies are wonderful coconuts probably my favorite but the Bavarian cream is right up there.“

“This is a cottage bakery, which means it's not a storefront. You can't just drive up and expect to grab a snack, like I did. It's a house in a residential neighborhood,

Tear chunks from a loaf and stuff directly in your face (exhibit a: the challah)

The cinnamon bun is the best sweet bun dough I've had in recent memory, and I've had the kanel buns in Copenhagen. It's soft, moist without being underbaked, and loaded with flavor. It's not a sugar bomb, and it's loaded with spices.

The bread is just as good. I cut open the loaf to get a view of the crumb and the smell of yeast teleported me to an old timey bakery in a little village. The flavor is unreal.

The challah didn't even make it to the cross streets outside Matt's house before I tore into it.

Support local artists - this bread is worth the extra logistics.“

“Recently went to Asheville for a long weekend vacation. We had our breakfast at Owl every single morning! All of the baked goods, sweet and savory, rival anything found anywhere. Delicious lattes are served by the most charming staff! I would drive back to Asheville just to visit this beautiful bakery.“

“Am crazy about Annie’s Cranberry Walnut bread! Delicious by itself, toasted, or as a sandwich - chicken, some mayo, chutney and lettuce - awesome!“

“Large bakery items.
Pecan honey bar: ask to have it warmed. Very rich. Good taste but mostly just tastes like honey.
Breakfast chorizo burrito: very good! Sausage has a strong taste, highly recommend.
Chocolate croissant: has chocolate on the inside, light and fluffy croissant. Very tasty.
Breakfast croissant: fresh and light. The tomato gave it a good fresh taste. If you want a light breakfast but filling, this is recommend.
Strawberry flavor in the latte was a huge hit with my party.
I wish they had some of the patties cut in half to see what the inside looked like, such as the eclair. ITS HUGE!
Fast pace environment like most coffee shops right downtown. Plenty of seating inside and a few seats outside if you want to tan in the direct sunlight.“
