“The pastry zone made our baby shower cake, everyone loved loved the chocolate cake and the decorations were on point and as I asked them to be. Prices were reasonable. Overall very happy with the experience of getting a custom cake with them and will definitely return! ☺️“

“I LOVE Moonlight Bakery! Everything is delicious and the prices are great, too. Not only that, everyone there is so nice.“

“Amazing selection of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods. From grape leaves, and a large selection of olives to Armenian string cheese. If you need it they have it. It's a grocery store, deli, and bakery all in one.“

“Huge shout out to the manager of the Southpark store in ATX!! He went above and beyond to help me out of a jam when I forgot to pick up my large catering order and offered to come in on Sunday to hand it to me!!!! What a great reminder of what it means to run a business and serve customers( even the dumb ones🙋‍♀️) 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“We had a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and it was amazing! Cake is moist and the frosting was delicious. Rodalind was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend!“

“Wow, where do I even begin! This is probably like my favorite place ever. However, this last visit was truly spot on. I am always greeted when I walk in the door, and if I EVER have a question about how to order, the friendly staff there is always ready to help. The cookies always taste so fresh, and genuinely look forward to going there. What truly makes this place special is the people that work there. This one girl who works there I see all the time, so I finally asked her what her name is: Anna! Please give my girl a raise, she works so hard and makes the atmosphere amazing! 10/10 will ALWAYS come back!“

“At 67 years old I've eaten more pastries than I should have and I can honestly say without a doubt the raspberry kolache that I had at Teal House is far and away the best pastry that I've ever eaten in my entire life. The sad part is I don't live in Texas so all I can do is dream about them until I'm back in town.“

“The blueberry rosemary scones are out of this world!!“

“We ordered an 8in birthday cake and a mini cupcake platter for my daughter’s 5th birthday. Stacy was super responsive from
the moment we submitted the request and throughout the process. The cake was perfectly decorated and was also very tasty. Would highly recommend for any custom cake requests!“

“A great place! The gelato and pastries are very good and the atmosphere is nice. Pet friendly!“

“I love this song place!!!! I came for the first time this Sunday! The conchas are so soft, the tacos are amazing and the salsa is so flavorful. You can tell they put heart into their food and business. I am really happy I finally came and tried it. I will be coming more often.“

“My daughter had a photo of an unusual wedding cake that she wanted for her wedding. The cake that Sweet Treets designed was EXACTLY what she had in mind --- & it was DELISH too!!“

“Your friendly neighborhood donut shop. The owners are very kind and their donuts and kolaches are always fresh and delicious.

You don’t go to Fresh Donuts on Thaxton Road because you’re looking for a theme or lofty notions of challenging what exactly a donut shop can be. You’re not there to pay premium prices for half-baked (or half-fried) vessels to deliver some novel topping or flavor with dubious execution. No, you’re likely there because you’re in the area and your options are limited.

This is not an indictment against the quality to be found at this humble shop nor a cynical jeer at the dedication that’s at work here. Fresh Donuts deals in the Platonic idea of the donut and they do it remarkably well. The evidence is in the balance of velvety airiness and crispy sweetness in every bite of a classic plain glazed; the captivating ratio of cinnamon to sugar on a cinnamon twist that is never cloying or bland. When the thing you make lines up cleanly with the archetype, anything else becomes a diversion. Sharks have changed relatively little even after millions of years.

While many shops are content to serve glorified pigs-in-a-blanket, Fresh Donuts make their version of Texas kolaches adorned in a soft golden brown bread that melts in your mouth. That same kolache bread, along with croissants, is used to make simple but satisfying breakfast sandwiches as well.

Taste is subjective, often stubborn, sometimes fickle. So don’t just take my word for it. Ask any of the locals and passers-by who frequent the establishment and help make Fresh Donuts an integral locus point of the community. One only needs to leisurely nurse an apple fritter at a corner table to witness the mutual connection between the steady parade of customers and the beautiful couple behind the counter.

This is why you’re there.“

“Love love love this place! They have the best employees who actually care about the people they are interacting with! And huge bonus that the donuts are delish! Will be a forever customer!“

“This is the freshest and most affordable breakfast in town! Absolutely delicious. The tacos were bigger than I expected and the fresh tortillas were so good. We got a handful of conchas and empanadas as well and all were very, very good. My only regret is not getting food from here sooner!“

“Amazinggggg! We wanted to try everything! So soft and fresh and flavorful!“

“Pies are worth the trip!!“

“Absolutely magical! Not only is the Gingerbread House the most amazing Christmas experience, she has tasty treats and she even makes Freshies! I have gotten so many compliments about how awesome my car smells! 😀 It’s not over powering like most store bought car fresheners. I highly recommend everyone go see The Gingerbread House and pickup some of her wonderful holiday items.“

“We Love ? Pie Bar! Thought we’d check out not knowing for sure what it was - it was Amazing! Great little ? ?’s - fun place, good coffee, & nice staff. A great place to take a quick break in your day!“

“Sugar Mama’s is awesome. My daughter had an idea for her birthday cake n of course, Sugar Mama’s delivered. Not only did they bring her idea to life, the taste was amazing! Thank you for making this a very happy 14th( Halloween) birthday!“

“Hi I am looking for a job as a croissant chef.“

“Made an online order. We show up to pick it up and they have it completely wrong. We had to comeback in 3 hours to pick it up.

Waste of time especially when it was the day of a birthday party.

No discount makeup offered for their mistake.

The cakes are good of course as are their other sweets. But probably won't come back if they can't get simple things right.“

“Staff is always welcoming and owners are very nice!“

“Went in here about a month ago and I can't wait to go back. The girl behind the counter was patient, sweet and helped recommend the chocolate ganache brownie. So glad I listened to her, I will be ordering that everytime I go back now. I also had a cupcake with a cookie dough like frosting and cookie piece as a topping which was so delicious! I enjoyed everything I purchased, and would definitely recommend.“

“Everything made fresh and delicious. Adorable cozy setting to enjoy a kombucha on draft and an egg salad bagel. Yum!“

“Nice place for cookies, I personally love the consistency and bake of these cookies. However, they’re not very consistent with having under baked cookies to having extra crispy cookies. Though one call let me get another batch that was much more enjoyable so it worked out in the end.“

“Such a cute home bakery spot, can’t wait to try the baked goods !! I bought a brownie, lemon bar, apple galette, and some dark chocolate oat bar cookies today. They were so friendly 😍🍪
Update: lemon bars & especially brownies are TO DIE FOR !! Delicious !!! Will be getting wayyy more brownies next time🤤“
