I was looking for a place near me that sold blue velvet cupcakes so I went to Google and stumbled upon this bakery. I didn't call, I just drove over because it's about a 10 minute drive from my house. They didn't have any blue velvet cupcakes, but I said let me just try one since I'm here......I got an apple cinnamon cupcake......let's just say by the time I pulled up in front of my house, there were 2 bites left.......LITERALLY! I will definitely be taking more 10 minute drives, starting tomorrow ??. You won't be disappointed, TRUST ME!

This was my first time buying a cake from here. I assumed that because they have yummy cupcakes, the cake will probably also be good. I ordered a strawberry shortcake for a birthday party. The girl went to the back & came back with a box, when I asked her to show me she opened the box & showed me a completely white plain cake, I couldn't tell what kind of cake it was so she showed a picture of the inside, which was a layered strawberry vanilla cake. I asked if she could decorate it, and she said she couldn't because the cream on the top had peaks. There were no strawberries, nothing on the cake. Also, they only take cash or the cash app here. If you use a credit card, they charge a fee. So I paid $47 for this 7 inch nude strawberry shortcake. I had to go to the store to buy sprinkles to decorate the cake before I presented it. I still held out hope that the cake might not look good but will be delicious. I was wrong. The vanilla cake is dense & tasteless. The strawberry filling is more like a jammy jelly & a very thin layer between 2 layers of vanilla cake. The white cream tastes like plastic with a strange artificial texture. The cake was horrible! I was so embarrassed to have bought it to a friend's birthday party. No one enjoyed it. The girl who sold it to me said they buy their cakes from an outside baker. She also said the cake was fresh, which it wasn't. I should've followed my gut & gone somewhere else, but I felt bad since she had already boxed it when I got there. Never again! A total waste of $47!

TLDR: expensive and inconvenient policies for an average product. $10 extra to write happy birthday on a cake, no large bills accepted and 4% credit card surcharge. the cake I ordered was moist, but nothing special flavor profile wise. I was looking to order a bday cake, and saw this bakery online. It looked awesome so I went to check it out 2 weeks before the birthday. When I entered, I was told that they were not taking orders for cakes right now, and don't know when they will be but try to call a few days later to see if they are then. - Somewhat weird, but okay. While in store, got a few cupcakes to try out and they were good, I also looked through their cake book to see a description of each, bc this was not available online. The girl working was friendly and told me they charge extra for credit cards, they also do not accept $50 or $100 bills. Inconvenient, but ok. She also said- you don't have to come in to order, just call us next time. I walked out feeling like I looked like a weirdo for trying to do an in person order. So I call on the date they had told me to, and they were accepting orders. Then they told me that it would be $10 extra to write happy birthday on the cake. - ?? Seriously?? I said fine, forget the writing. Then they reminded me of the credit card surcharge, I said oh I'll just pay cash. Then told me they need payment to take the order. AKA- I could not pay when I pick up the cake and had to pay now. Therefore, I had to pay the stupid 4% surcharge. Again, I get it, but then why did the girl originally tell me I didn't have to bother coming in to order, and just to call. It would have been nice if she said "you can call to order if you're using a card, or come in person for cash". I like to support local businesses but this was a lot of hoops to jump through and added expenses. I thought at least the cakes gonna SLAP. But when we tasted it- we were all like eh. It wasn't anything special. I was expecting it to be more like a good humor bar flavor based on the description. Next time I'll just get a cake from a grocery store.

What a find! We were spending our daughters first birthday at the Bronx Zoo and on our way back up to Westchester, we were searching for highly rated bakeries with GREAT cupcakes and this incredible location popped up. We immediately put the address in our GPS and made our way over to Yonkers. Immediately upon entering we were greeted by Aurea who we believed to be the owner. She was so sweet and hospitable and welcoming. We felt at home within seconds! She took the time to walk us through the selection and had such calming approach to the sale. She wasn’t pushing us to order more than we needed and was incredibly helpful and patient with us. We decided to get a full dozen to try as many flavors as we could. When we got back home and actually got to try them, we were honestly floored by the quality. The cake was moist. The icing wasn’t overly sweet. The toppings held their integrity and didn’t get soggy. They were as perfect as they could possibly be. From the ambiance, to the service, to the quality, we were genuinely impressed. 10 out of 10 here - make sure you stop by and give these a taste!

Hands down best brownies I ever had! They are really welcoming and they have so many sweets and throwback candies like the N*** Rope (My personal Fav) I always come to get fudge brownies because personally it’s my favorite snack. They also make Chai pretty good here too. They’re very active on their IG, notifying y’all on all the upcoming sweets before the holidays, 100% recommend!!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! Best hot cocoa around. The customer service was great, it was just an overall good experience visiting this little cute shop. I left with a cupcake, 3 chocolate covered pretzels and a hot cocoa, and ALLLLL of it was so good. I will return for sure!Also LOVE that they use containers made with recycled plastic for their cupcakes
