“Kicking myself for waiting so long to try Val’s. It’s almost hard to describe how incredible everything tastes and feels. It’s like a symphony in your mouth. I took a bite of the loaded scone before running around and it’s all I could think of until I finished it later. These bakery items are the kind I can see being on the show “Best thing I ever ate”. The s’mores pop tart? Take all of my money! Can’t wait to eventually try everything! Val, you are a brilliant goddess and I’m in awe of your skills.“

“We bought cupcakes for our sons birthday two years in a row now! Just a heads up for everyone, we got blue icing on his large cupcake, it was all over his shirt. Blue stains. We rinsed it overnight in water then threw it in the wash, no more stain! Whatever food coloring they use is easily removed from the wash.“

“Purely Sweet Bakery is amazing! This is the best gluten free and dairy free bakery. We love the cinnamon rolls, donuts, cupcakes, cookies, coffee cake (my fave) and have had 2 custom order cakes for birthdays. I’m so happy we found Purely Sweet!“

“I had her Fall Sampler (4 mini cakes) @ the Cincinnati Coffee Festival. I am so glad I did!! They are so good!!! Perfect amount of rum and other flavors. I can still remember the taste. Glad I got the sampler. I loved them all, and couldn't decide on just one .“

“My wife ordered me a cake for my birthday. I love carrot cake, but it’s hard to find a good one. Not something that seems to be too common any longer… Long story short, this was one of the best carrot cakes I’ve ever had. Very moist, good texture from the nuts and a little soft pop from the carrots. Simply Amazing!! ! We also tried their Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle Cookies and their Banana Nut Muffins. I’ve never been much of a fan of snickerdoodle cookies(wife loves them), but these were very good. Soft and chewy and just a good cookie. The chocolate chip cookie was amazing, slight hint of salt just to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. The muffin was moist and had a great banana nut flavor. Pretty much everything we received was extremely well baked and delicious!!!“

“Some of the greatest pies in America! While I haven’t lived in the Dayton area for 20 years, any time I’m in the area for work I ALWAYS make a stop for sweet treats to bring back home to Alabama. Every person I have introduced to Mehaffie’s has fallen in love with their pies. This most recent trip I had 2 coworkers with me and we left out of there with over 10 pies. My haul was 2 sugar cream, 1 strawberry, 1 peanut butter and 1 pecan. We stopped and grabbed a cooler and they made the 7 hour trip home with no issue! My family divided our spoils among other local Daytonites. If y’all figure out a way to ship these pies, most importantly the sugar cream ones…I’d like to be the first in line.“

“Beautiful / tasty cakes and cupcakes and friendly service!“

“wow the cake we had at The Cottages of Clayton. delicious.“

“Lovely little coffee shop with plenty of goodies and friendly staff. Check out the whole beans and take a bag or two home when you stop in.“
