So good!

Workers are rude, the vibes are constantly off, all that for the food to simply be okay.

Cookies were sweet, workers weren't. I went into this shop 5 times, literally ALL of the workers are so rude. Horrible experience every single time. Left constantly with less cash and a sad face.

The workers are very rude and nasty. Person at the front’s hands were dirty and I even saw someone picking their noise in the back?? The desert was good but very horrible service.

Absolutely horrible staff. They all have such attitude even though you're offering them money for their below mediocre sweets. Very unprofessional and unsanitary, they do not wear gloves and they freely cough and touch their faces around the food. Never going again.

Yayamazing

Terrible experience! Was told to come back in 15 min for fresh warm cookies out of the oven, only to get a cold cookie. When we asked the worker if she could heat it up she refused despite there being a toaster oven right next to her, saying “there’s only so much I can do”. We then were attacked and harassed by other customers there … such a shame will never come back there again!

This place is the absolute best place for an amazing chocolate chip cookie. As someone who’s tried MANY, this one is my favorite. It’s a perfect thin, gooey, sweet and salty cookie. The owner Tiara is a sweetheart and is always working hard to deliver the best sweet treats. Everything there is absolutely amazing.

It’s a SMALL business, if you’re coming to support you should expect the place to be small. You shouldn’t be mad that it’s not a massive space when you know you’re coming into a LOCAL, SMALL business. Every time I’ve come in, I’ve been greeted and welcomed in a very friendly manner even if it is busy. But when it does get busy, have some decency and expect that they may not get the chance to greet you. Not getting a “hello” won’t kill you and shouldn’t ruin your experience. If it does then that says a lot about YOU and not them. Also you shouldn’t be taking hours to decide what you want as they don’t have hundreds of options, and if it does, again have some decency and step to the side so others who know what they want can go ahead.

I always recommend this place to people and will always consider it a local gem. I need to go back soon!!

This bakery is incredible! Every pastry is baked with such care and tastes absolutely delicious. Beyond the pastries themselves, it is a true gift to the community, more than just a place to grab a treat. It brings people together and makes our neighborhood brighter. Some of my favorites are the chocolate cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, black & white cookies, and red velvet cake. We are so fortunate to have their creations to enjoy. Thank you for all that you do!

Stopped by last weekend during a visit to see friends in the city and am so glad! The brown butter cookies are crispy and chewy. Their snickerdoodles are probably the best I’ve ever had. The chocolate chips are elite. Just everything, uff! I saw them on my feed, so am hopeful more folks will give them a try and help support an up-and-coming business with so much to offer. The team was very nice and definitely busy, so wishing them success and community support!

The treats are incredibly delicious (and I’ve tried many!) and the owner, Tiara, is one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I absolutely recommend this spot and cannot speak highly enough about the care Chef Tiara puts into her business. Top quality treats and service! I love this place!

We LOVE this bakery and are so grateful to live close by. I have placed orders for my work and out of town family and now they always ask if I can bring more treats to the next meeting/family get together. Outstanding chocolate chip cookie and a truly standout black and white. We also love the other items (seasonal doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, and various loaf slices). Service is friendly and overall you can tell this business is run with passion.

Literally everything I've tried in this cozy welcoming shop is delicious, & the brownies? Best I've ever had. Seriously. The problem is that they're not open again until Wednesday and it's only Monday and I don't know how I'll be able make it 'til then! 😪
