Those are absolute perfection in taste and texture..piece of Heaven!!“

“We used Bethel for our wedding cake on 10/31/24 and loved it! It was so moist and delicious and the flavors were wonderful.“

“I often shop with them at the Market Square farmers market in downtown on Thursdays between 10am-2pm. I must say they have huge, soft, deliciously sweet and/or salty flavors. It’s truly great the staff are so helpful and efficient. They sell out fast but so far my favorite flavors are cereal killers, strawberry pretzel and the steel city cookie! They are so so good. Olivia normally cashes me out and she’s a doll! They offer 3/$8 that’s unbeatable for the size and great quality. The first time having them I was surprised. I’m officially a cookie girlie now.“

“We have been fortunate to partner with Bella Christie for about 10 years now. When it was time to plan our 30th-anniversary celebration and we needed an active station, Bella Christie was our top choice! The cotton candy machine was a huge hit, equipped with glow wands! We are eagerly looking forward to having Bella Christie at our next club event!“

Croissants and anything from that aisle is a must try too.“

So I took that and caught “heck” from my friend because it wasn’t what she asked for. I explained that they didn’t have any so she called and was told yes we have 3 turtle cheesecakes. Last time I buy anything there.“

“Good breakfast. Good service. Lots of frozen meals/soups& bakery items.“

“That you go! Lots of delicious food, the selection of beans is fantastic and they are sold in bulk weight. The store is immaculate, and one of my favorite things is the double door system at the entrance which deters insects, varmints, and unsanitary conditions that come along with those. Oh, you can also watch the pitas being made through the glass wall as they come off the conveyor and get ready to come to your house.“

“The chocolate caramel bar was recommended and delicious! The cannoli wasn’t anything special, but the cafe overall had a sophisticated, modern vibe that would be good for work/studying or brunch!

“We hired Noel at Mami’s Bakes to do cookies for our wedding rehearsal dinner and they were amazing! Everyone thought they were so delicious and had no idea they were vegan and gluten free. The red velvet cookie was totally amazing. We also ordered mini banana bread loaves for our wedding welcome bags and got so many compliments from guests! Noel was so nice to work with and took time for phone calls to make sure everything was perfect. We’ve also done orders just for fun or for holidays which have also all been delicious. Some of us in my family are vegan, some gluten free, and it’s so nice around the holidays to be able to pick up something delicious that everyone can eat. This year we ordered the coffee cake for Christmas morning and it was a huge hit, soo delicious! The cuban coffee cake is also insanely good!“

“Great bread many varieties available“
