“I got cookies delivered to Virginia for my sister's bachelorette. They arrived individually wrapped and intact. They were a huge hit at her party. She loved them, and they were just as tasty as they were beautiful. Will definitely order again!“

“Arlen and her team at The Cupcake Shoppe were WONDERFUL to work with. I was sure to give ample notice and could not be happier with the very special and custom 50th birthday cake that they created. It was better than I'd hoped for. The only negative was the fact that we had to cut into this work of art, and that it couldn't last longer. It was bitter sweet.... but honestly, mostly sweet! The cake was delicious and perfect in every way. Absolutely recommended and would go to again in a heartbeat for any future events!!!

Dietary restrictions: They were able to provide gluten free cookies for our guest with dietary restrictions.“

“First these cookies are delicious. I ordered some for a client to be delivered and at no fault to the store the cookies never made it to my client. The store went above and beyond and had amazing customer service in assisting me with this when it was no fault of theirs that the delivery wasn't made. Josh at the store was friendly and provided amazing customer service. Will always order from this location when I need a delicous treat.“

“The Tiramisu cruffin is amazing!!! 100/10!“

“This ice cream is unique and delicious. The employees are so friendly and even upgraded us to a full pint when we only ordered a half. Highly recommend! (The Birthday Cake flavor was the bomb)“

“Great. First time here and will definitely will be back!“

“I love that I can place an order quickly online and delivery happens within an hour! My son and his wife live almost 3,000 miles from us and it’s great to be able to easily send them fresh goodies for special days or holidays like Halloween at such an affordable price!!! Thank you, Crumbl!!!“

“I bought the Key Lime pie for my hubby's birthday and it was fantastic! Rich, creamy, with a perfect key lime flavor. Crust was light and just enough crunch. Definitely will order from Burney's again!“

“I Highly recommend Madame B’s for all your cake needs. Very professional, created the exact cake I wanted, beautiful cake!! And most importantly it was DELICIOUS!!! Thank you!!! ❤️“

“The best student center in NCSU. Stores, coffee shops are good!“

“I tried the shake rattle and roll, cookie monster, and pumpkin bread. they were all really good, but when i ate the pumpkin bread i found a little chunk in there that wasn’t edible (atleast i think). otherwise very delicious and very friendly staff.“

“I love these cakes! Can you say Hi to marko for me??? He made my cake and it was delicious. Also i want his number Pls. He makes the best cakes but I want his instead??“

“Love the bread. Like seriously love the sour dough. Buy it every week.

Here’s what drives me insane.

Why is it so difficult to slice the bread.

Previously, they’d do it after 10 am.

Now. You’ve to wait 1 day (which there is never any leftover… EVER… and I want it fresh )

C’mon. You’re acting like a tyrant. First you get us hooked…. Then you take away the slicing… what next huh? Smaller loafs.“

“I bumped into your stand accidentally at the farmers market this past Saturday with my three little ones. We picked up one of your cakes to give it a try. It lasted approximately 48 hours in our house before every single piece was gone. Lol. This is hands-down, the absolute best carrot cake I have ever eaten in my life. You can taste the freshness, the quality ingredients, and the care that you take in every bite. I will be back to see you on Saturday and definitely quite a bit more in the future. Thank you for delivering exactly what you promised Brent Reck Willow Spring NC“

“I was visiting from Atlanta and stopped by the farmers market. I came specifically from the lemonade but was offered a sample and the golden rum cake. I’m not even a cake person but this was the most moistest, softest, best tasting sweet treat I’ve ever had ! I will specifically make it my business to stop by and grab a piece every time I come yo this way !“

“Aw man! Listen to me. Just go and go when they open to enjoy one of the best cinnamon buns that I have had in a long time. It is dangerously delish! Everyone is always sweet and working hard. It’s inside the farmers market hub where you can find tons of local “this and that”! You can thank me later. And it’s only $5! Sorry for the half eaten bun photo. It was just that good.“

“Nice store with a great variety of pastries. When I came, the queue was a bit long but the cashier did a good job handling it by himself. The line took a while but it's worth it to try this store.
I bought 5 pieces of pastries, pain au chocolate, chocolate bun, red bean bun, rice cake, macadamia cookies, and matcha latte.
All the pastries were good and fresh but for the matcha, I gave 6 out of 10. Maybe next time I will try their coffee.“

“Such a wonderful experience working with Debbie and Sweet Cakes Bakery. Birthday cake was ready for pickup as promised. Beautifully decorated and very delicious ?.Do not hesitate to reach out to this establishment for all of your special cake needs.Thank you, Sweet Cakes, for being there when I needed you.“

“We bought a pineapple cake from the fridge ( no tan order - just walk in purchase ) and it was so delicious! The best cake we’ve had since moving to Raleigh. The frosting was creamy and not too sweet. The cake was fresh. Service was good and they wrote happy birthday and the name for us. We also really enjoy some of the baked goods we bought! Our friends liked the cake too. Definitely will be back!“

“I had a gift card given to me some 1.5 years ago, and just today made my way to the store! Felt adventurous and was craving some tropical fruits. I was blown away by the variety of exotic fruits, and the extensive choice of fish. The store is, certainly, a cultural experience! My 10-year-old and I each got a smoothie - mango and pear, but I feel curious about many of the other drinks and desserts that I’d love to try. They, also, have cooked/hot food there and will bring my husband next time since he loves Asian food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Highly recommend! The employee was working by themselves, but was so patient with the flow of customer.I especially appreciated their attention to hand hygiene! Great ice cream!“

“Muy bien! Yo sé un poco español pero ellos son muy paciente conmigo. Yo y mi novio encantamos ir comprar los tamales y empanadas para fin de semana. Son muy delicioso!“

“Very clean & nice people So recommend this pan store“

“Edible art did a great job with bringing my vision to life and of course it was very good as well.“

“Best place to purchase bread without a doubt! So much cheaper than Food Lion or other retail grocery stores! Snack cakes less than 1/2 the price of retail grocery‼️ Staff is professional and courteous! Make you feel very welcome. Also they have a “Seniors” discount day!!“

“The cakes are absolutely delicious“

“I have to give huge thanks to the team! My wedding planner kinda let me down on my wedding 4.16.22 and Terrell and the beautiful lady with braids came to the rescue! They literally saved my wedding on top of serving AMAZING FOOD ! My cake was too die for and the little we had left was gone the next day. Thank you all so much! I highly recommend them! All my guests loved them, loved the food and the fact it’s black owned makes it even better ! I can’t thank y’all enough!“

“Gluten Free Galley is my new go-to for desserts! I got a GF red velvet cake for my fiancé, him and his family loved it. It was also decorated beautifully. I couldn’t be happier with my order!“

“Todo está muy bueno,comenzando desde la atención al público muy amables y todo lo que ofrecen de comida muy rico“

“Great experience ordering catering from Zulias! The variety of sweet and savory roll ups was just fantastic! I loved the turkey cheddar and the blueberry- though a few people at my office felt the turkey was a little salty for their liking (not for me, though). The cinnamon rolls were outstanding- especially if you like lots of cinnamon flavor. The service was also excellent, as the owner reached out to me to make sure everything was satisfactory with our order. I look forward to ordering breakfast from Zulias again!“

“Always a great place to pop into for just a loaf, or to stock up with excellent deals on the fresh bread, buns, pastries, snack cakes, and more that you'd pay twice as much at your local supermarket. Well stocked, incredibly friendly staff, always clean, and easy to access just off Capital & Spring Forest.

Parking: Multiple spots with Handicapped Parking available

Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring your kids and "let" them choose their own snacks (at half price)

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped Parking available with access ramps, but old school doors.“

“I would highly recommend this business! The owner is extremely pleasant and easy to work with. She not only made a delicious cake, but also hand-delivered it to our apartment. The price of the cake was also super affordable. Overall, an amazing experience!“

“Everything we had was absolutely amazing!“

“These are the best cinnamon rolls you'll ever have. Delicious! Freshly made. Good breakfast and lunch items, too. We will be back to continue tonsupoort this local business.“

“My family and I had the best experience here. First the Cinnabon as always were super delicious but also kind people work at this location and we are grateful. We went today May 27th and we left my sons tablet near the cashier. When we called asking if we had left it behind they answered the phone super quick and they were super nice about it. We have the tablet back and we are very grateful !“

“I recommend This Sam’s Club because it had an adequate amount of stock and supplies. It constantly restocks when the shelves are bare if you need something and it wasn’t there when you went the previous day, they will/might have it when you return. Also, they have a great staff. They don’t mind assisting you in finding what you’re looking for or pointing you in the right direction to include walking you part of the way, if not all of the way, if necessary. Real customer service. I really appreciate them!“

“The macaroons made up for the HORRIBLE ATTITUDE we received today from the worker with blue/purple lashes. We definitely will be coming back because these are the best macaroons we’ve tasted, but we are hoping for a worker who doesn’t look annoyed when we only asked to grab another 6count.“

“So I ordered some cookies really late at like 4:00am and they arrived at my door at 11:00am as I requested. The cookies themselves were pretty good, soft and chewy and tasty. I also ordered buttercream icing which really tasted like sugar to me. I was expecting that deep rich buttercream flavor which didn’t happen. So next time I order, I’ll just get the cookies. I did get a half off coupon which was great because these are pricey. The only downfall is the fact you can’t mix and match a dozen cookies. You either have to get 1/2 dozen of one kind or a dozen of what the website recommends. I would rather be able to choose which cookies I want. Anyway, overall I would recommend because the actual flavor and texture of cookies is good.“

“I am self employed in a club that has do helping people organize their business. It’s a lot process of work to be able get a good start and get hired to work. ℹ be in 15 yearly.“

“The pretzels here are so delicious! But I don’t really like their OG cheese sauce, definitely head to the food court to the spot to the left of the cookies and just buy their cheese sauce because their pretzels are trash. And it’s a good combo!“
