“I can't believe that I have lived here for nearly 20 years, walked past this place many times, and just discovered it several weeks ago. WOW! The pastries and, cakes, muffins and croissants are excellent. Their homemade jams are wonderful. Their breads, quite yummy! I love their iced coffee , which has s a very subtle taste of cocoa. And, I am a very picky coffee snob. Service is sometimes a little chaotic, but the staff is super friendly. Weekend mornings are insanely busy- a reflection of how good they are. Amazing, spacious outdoor seating! LOVE this place.“

“Ordered from Fresh Baguette app. Didn’t get half(!!) of my order and customer service wasn’t really helpful, no information on whether I’ll get my food delivered or they’ll give me a refund. Very upsetting situation.

Update: got my issue resolved 3 hours later, will get a refund in 3-5 days, plus got a $20 gift card“

“So delish!!! Forgot to take any photos of our food except the bignets. But we ordered the biscuit & gravy, the breakfast sandwich with bacon, iced latte & a tea latte!
the bacon was super thick and delicious...of course the biscuits themselves were so so good. tea latte is a great option for those who don't want coffee, and the gravy is vegetarian & looks just like regular sausage gravy. 10/10 would recommend this place!!“

“I contacted Rachel to make treats from my friend who is gluten free and unable to consume dairy. Rachel was extremely patient while we worked through options. I decided on s'mores bars. I could not be happier with the treats! As a vegan of over a decade, I have consumed hundreds of vegan baked goods. The Fetching Goodies bars are on par with desserts from popular - vegan and non-vegan - brick and mortar bakeries. I can promise that an omnivore would not be able to tell that Fetching Goodies treats are dairy free! I highly recommend Fetching Goodies. It was pleasure to support a small business owner who is so thoughtful and talented.“

“I ordered a cake online from Alexandria’s Pastry Shop for delivery. My son turned 16 while on a school trip away from home so he was staying at a hotel close (i think😅) to the shop. I thanked them in the comments for being willing to deliver and let them know the occasion. When my son opened the box (which was a surprise to him), not only was there the cake I ordered, but they had a cookie on top and had written “Happy 16th Birthday” on it!🥹 I cried when he told me. I wish they’d gotten a picture! I am SO appreciative that y’all made my boy’s day so special! And all of the kids said the cake was delicious! Thank you again ❤️“

“This is one of my favorite bakery’s for sweet bread! I can’t stress enough at the fact that if you love Mexican conchas not every place makes them the same! I’ve trained different bakeries and this is my Number one for conchas! The softness and right amount of sugar and it doesn’t have the yeast, baking powder taste to it like in other places. So if you are looking for conchas they make them fresh every day, they are done by 1pm BUT they are so popular so they are gone by 6pm! So check your time! I’ve been coming here for a month now and every time I come they aren’t finished being made yet or they are gone already haha. Let me tell you the waiting game is sooooo worth my drive for it! Come get your conchas! They have other pastries and other kinds of pan dulce (sweet bread). Finally got my bag today so I can go enjoy a piece with my coffee ❤️“
