“I’ve been obsessed with their sweets ever since I got a cake for my son’s birthday! Highly recommend & such lovely people who work there.“

“I’ll be straight: I’m addicted to AJs Rush & I promised my husband I wouldn’t get one again after drinking one everyday for far too many days. That shit gets your blood pumping & they taste so damn good! That said, I still sneak them when I can because they are that good. Don’t tell my husband!“

“Two Bees was such a delightful find! Everything about them was perfection. Walking into the cafe, the decor is lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the river. The staff was so sweet and just lovely authentic people. But the offerings they had were simply divine. Their croissant was reminiscent of European quality, all their ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the best thing was their passion fruit tart- outstanding! Very highly recommend this place!“

“The owner is one of the sweetest people I know. I was there on Saturday and bought cupcakes. The best cupcakes I've ever had!“

“We had a dessert bar and a two-tier cake at our wedding, and everything was absolutely delicious and turned out gorgeous! Lara was so easy to work with throughout the entire process. We had the best tasting where we sampled some delicious favorites. She offered great recommendations for dessert variety, crowd favorites, and serving sizes to make sure we had the perfect selection for our guests. They did an amazing job with setting it up and even left some to go boxes for us to take the leftovers home at the end of the night. Everything looked beautiful and tasted amazing! We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Lara!“

“Three Sisters Cake Shop was amazing for our wedding! From our rehearsal dinner cake to our wedding cake, cake pops, cupcakes, and cookies, everything was amazing. Not only did every dessert look beautiful, but they tasted even better.

We received so many compliments from our guests all weekend long. People were asking where the desserts came from, going back for seconds, and making sure they got to try everything. Even now, we're still talking about how good everything was and wishing we had some leftover cake and cupcakes!

The entire process was easy, and it was clear how much care went into every detail. Three Sisters helped make our wedding weekend extra special, and the desserts were definitely one of the highlights.

If you're looking for desserts that are both beautiful and delicious, we can't recommend Three Sisters Cake Shop enough!“

“first try vegan, delicious 😋“

“We got our first loaf of this bread yesterday from tender crop farm. The man who was advertising this bread was very informative and helpful when we picked our perfect loaf. He was very proud of this company and his wife! He spoke so highly of her and was excited to show off her picture on the top of the bread shelf. Today we grilled the bread, my daughter had hers with Nutella and i had mine with eggs over easy. DELICIOUS. 10/10 recommend. We will try sour dough next!“

“I recently tried Crumbl Cookies, and they were really good! The cookies were soft, thick, and full of flavor. I liked that they have different flavors every week, so there’s always something new to try. The cookies are pretty big, which makes them great for sharing. They can be a little expensive, but the taste and quality make them worth it. Overall, I would recommend Crumbl Cookies to anyone who loves sweet treats.“

“What a sweet addition to Newmarket! This friendly family has made a beautiful space with delicious food - the Key Lime Pie is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! This new spot is not to be missed!“

“This company and its product are wonderful! Good customer service and the mini fortune cookies for dessert blew everyone away! They were not “mini” at all! Great individual desserts. So unique. Perfect ending to dinner.“

“I truly appreciate the team's prompt responses to all my queries. The gift was delivered in perfect condition on the selected date, making it such a wonderful surprise for my fiance. The ordering process was so easy, and there was a great variety of options to choose from on the website. I'll definitely be ordering again!“

“I always get my normal 24 oz beach bum lil extra peach. Larkin, always remembers my order and doesnt take forever to make my drink. She also was very generous and gave me a free rush and is understanding when i go back if theres an issue.
Maybe if your nice, you can get a free rush or 3 :)“

“I come to this location at least once a week, service is always good. I came tonight and I just want to say I appreciate the young lady who was working. My mom was going into a 12 hour hospital shift and wanted a frojoe. The worker said the blender was washed for the night ( 2.5 hours before they closed) so we couldn’t get one. I was gonna just order something else, but my mom kinda had an attitude and requested her to dirty the blender and make a frojoe anyway. She obliged, and I want to say thank you, and sorry on my moms behalf :)“

“Gabby was the most phenomenal and kind worker. She was so sweet and had an amazing customer-service attitude. She made our day and was such a positive and funny person. We look forward to coming back and seeing Gabby again! She deserves a raise ASAP!“

“Wow! Impeccably fast service, they had a line but they are so fast to ring up the order and as soon as I pulled up to the second window the drink was handed to me instantly! ⭐ Wow! I’ve known when I stop here even if I see a number of cars it won’t be a crazy long wait and my today’s experience perfectly exemplifies that!
The drinks are made consistently well at this location. The staff is always super friendly at this location as well!“

“Bekah is awesome she is a huge asset to the company and provides the best customer service. She always greets us in the morning with a smile and always knows what the order is going to be. We keep coming back because of her customer service skills. If she would leave I would recruit her. Ashley is great too. The music in the cafe is the best ! It’s always the right volume and the music fits the scene.“
