Horrible service. Went down hill. Employees are no help anymore and won’t bend to do anything. Here’s a cake we got from them….looks like I got it from wish.com. We added the stick figures. The blue icing was partially hanging off in the box.

This is a top notch place for bread, cookies, pastries and special events. I have been coming here for 10 years. Everything is always fresh and the designs are super cute. I see some people commenting that prices are up there. Unless you live under a rock you would know the cost for ingredients that go into this industry have sky rocketed. Can't say enough about the staff. Great place to pick up cookie platters for work events as well.

Our wedding venue recommended Pastry Chef when we booked— they made us a beautiful 4-tier cake, with a delicious chocolate pudding filling last August. We followed up with ordering an anniversary wedding cake last week. We ordered the same cake/filling as our wedding on an 8” round. When ordering, we specifically requested that the top would just read the date, with periods in between each number— “8.13.23”. They were very pleasant when we placed the order and the price was reasonable. However, when we arrived to pick up our cake, we had to wait over 10 minutes as they “could not find our cake”. We watched the girl walk between the same two fridges (one in front and one in back), repeating that there were no anniversary cakes. She then came back over to me and my husband and asked what name we booked under. We told her our last name, in which she asked 3x after if he was SURE that’s his name?? or if he had a different last name, or if his name was Caitlin? Then insinuated that maybe his friend Caitlin placed the order— we have no friends with this name, and my husband placed the order himself. They then returned to the same fridge and another girl attempted to help find our cake. I then asked a third staff member if she could instead check for
a white 8” round with just the date written on top. She immediately replied “Oh! that ones yours?” and walked to the same fridge as the girls and pulled out the box that was sitting front and center. The original staff member then ran over to us with the order slip and was trying to tell us that it may not have been our order— despite the cake having our wedding date on it and the name on the slip being OUR last name, with one letter incorrectly. We thanked them for their time and took the box home. Once home we cut off the tape and saw the inscription on the top. Yes it has our date, but we specifically requested periods in between instead of slashes. Besides that, the numbers were off centered and sloppy. Just an extremely disappointing situation all together.

We ordered a Black Forest cake that was delicious. The woman who served us couldn’t have been nicer. This is a great place! I also bought coffee cake and strudel; both were fresh and delicious.
