I ordered a gluten-free cake for Christmas dinner for guests who were gluten-free. Not only was the cake gorgeous but so good. I even shared it and I'm not gluten-free. Not sure who made the cake or decorated it but as you can see from my photo, it was absolutely stunning and delicious.

So disappointed that they don’t make muffins anymore, claiming that their scones have taken their place. Unfortunately the scones were super dry and flavorless. Won’t be

Stay away from their scones. They are super dry and flavorless. They might have been stale, they were that bad. Will definitely not be back.

The owner is the kind of person who will stop to help a stranger change out a tire on a cold winter night! I imagine the pastries must be good, too.

The cake was good until I found a piece of hair in it…so are yall not required to where around and when making food?

My favorite bakery in the capital region. I highly recommend trying their seasonal cakes. I've learned to trust that even when a flavor doesn't sound like something I'd normally choose, to go for it anyway and it's always a hit.

I requested a birthday cake in a pokemon shape which they advertised and they said we don't do those are you kidding me why advertise it that you do then lie about it unprofessional and your going to lose customers what a shame I'm telling my friends n family go elsewhere where the actual Baker makes what they advertise loyalty to your customers

Used Zachary's for our wedding and it was the yummiest cake we've ever had! There were so many compliments from the guests. Although we ordered simple, it still came out looking amazing. Would recommend.

I hate to say this... I have gotten baked goods, birthday cakes, and gluten-free stuff from your bakery. This weekend, my wife bought a gluten-free cake for my birthday for my father in law and sister in law to be able to eat. Ypur cake was absolutely horrible. As an amateur baker who has made dozens of gf cakes...tasted like cardboard. Frosting was not your usual frosting. Mouth feel was horrible. Felt grainy and stiff. ZERO moisture at all.Suggestion...add 1 to 2 more eggs for every cake and 1 to 3 tbsp of oil. NO ONE IN THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN BAKING gf ever knew I am doing it. I have to say I am disappointed. Horrible cake. Through 60% away. No one liked it. 95% of my coworkers thought it was a real, non gf cake.

Our son's Poké ball cake wowed all of our party guests and it was absolutely delicious! My son chose marble cake and buttercream filling :) The frosting was not heavy at all, but also not air light, either. I'm the Goldilocks of cake frosting so it was juuuuust right.

Zachary's made a beautiful graduation cake for my granddaughter. Followed my instructions & photo

Big selection of items but the lone girl in the store seemed really bored but also annoyed at actually having people who were shopping.The chocolate tart was less chocolatey than something available at any grocery store. The Oreo bar ganache tasted like cheap candy melts.We'll be back for the key lime bars which were the one part of the order that tasted bakery-quality.

This is specific to the cinnamon chocolate chip scone. That was outstanding. I had some reservations going into it and it was a great choice. Definitely the right combination of the chocolate and cinnamon without one overpowering the other. Loved it. Thanks for recommending and for the cake.
