Atmosphere ok, not to my taste, but to each their own. Had nice Christmas decor with snowflakes hanging from the ceiling and Christmas trees decorated...I was expecting the vibe to be more european, upscale, relaxing - it was not that at all. One of the worst tasting desserts I have tried in a while - we tried snickers cake, chocolate cream cheese and apple cinnamon. We did not like any of these. The water tasted like bad tap water, tea had a cute tea bag and im sure would've been good if they used good tasting water or purified their water. This is not a place I would visit again.
Everyone in this establishment are just super awesome kind people. I forgot my debit card up there a few times and they're always so cool about it. Every time I've ever been the server is a great, the cakes are great, the drinks are great, the atmosphere is awesome. It does suck that it gets crowded sometimes but you know what? That's awesome because that means they're going to be there for a while. Like all of the employees especially the manager really pull their weight here
I genuinely love this café. Their wait staff is exceptional. The coffee is to die for. They are always adding new flavors of cakes and pies to choose from.
This place is amazing! We totally outdid ourselves. You might as well have rolled us out the door in a diabetic coma. Haha! We ordered the key lime pie, the tollhouse cookie pie a la mode, the mixed berry cobbler a la mode, and the crème brûlée cappuccino. Oh. My. Word!! Hands down, the tollhouse cookie pie was the best! The cobbler was the next best, a little extra sweet and could use a bit more crust over top, but still delicious. And the key lime was really good, just maybe not my favorite. But then, I’m a bit picky when it comes to key lime pie. The crust was thick and delicious but could’ve been a little more moist, and the pie itself could’ve been just a bit more tart, but it was still tasty. The crème brûlée cappuccino was AMAZING!! They literally brûlée the vanilla sugar on top! I want to come back just for this! The atmosphere is fun and comfortable, and the staff is nice. In the evenings, this place fills up pretty quick, but they stay open till like 9pm or 10pm; so, it’s a great late night coffee shop. Fun times! Enjoy! We went walking around the town a couple miles after all this! Lol!
Great place if you have a sweet tooth would go some where else for more complex flavors.
I honestly don't know why people like this place so much.
The staff and waitress were wonderful and attentive, but we came for the cakes and those were just a sugary sweet disappointment.
Let's start of with what we got, we got 3 cakes and a sundae. First was monster cake with cookie dough, second was pumpkin spice and last was some pink cake that I forgot the name of.
All of them had one thing in common, toothachingly sweet. Like so disgusting sweet that even my kids scraped of their frosting.
I had the pumpkin spice which was super dense and seemed either overmixed or undercooked or both. The frosting on the outside was american buttercream with some specs of vanilla, but really tasted like from a bucket. I am also super disappointed that we spend so much on cake and it doesn't even come with real whipped cream. It's from a can of Sysco whipped topping.Just plain disgusting. They could buy the cheap can of cream at Aldi or Lidl and it would be better than that stuff. Or even better, get a quick whip whipped cream dispenser to elevate the whole thing. But back to the topic, the icecream was okay but again, it was nothing special and you can probably get a creamier one at the grocery store. It was half melted by the time it got to the table and it wasn't even hot that day.
Honestly would not recommend and would not come back. There is so much to be improved.
Morgan was the sweetest, most helpful server! Delicious cake!
Delicious milkshakes and loved the retro vibe of the place!

Don’t come downtown too much these days but when I do I know exactly where to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Tasty Cakes!!
First timer here but definitely not the last. Stopped in for dessert and we all had some great treats. The cookie sundae was outstanding, just wish they offered other flavors besides vanilla. The red velvet cake was delicious. Coffee served hot by a friendly and attentive staff. Would return
This place is the best of the best…vibes are unmatched, deserts are unmatched and delicious, service is amazing, and the music is a major vibe!! The GM Paris was phenomenal!! Can’t say enough good about him. Salute.
