This is a cute and clean little bakery in town. Conveniently located, easy parking, and tons of options and flavors to choose from! It would be a great place to set up shop and get a little work done, too. One of my favorite parts about the atmosphere here is that it's extremely cozy, almost like you're at home in your own living room. The staff is friendly, too! I had a hankering for a cupcake (or 3!) so I got the Strawberry, Banana Pudding, and Toffee Caramel Crunch. Very tasty! Rich, of course, but flavorful. The only reason I'm giving 4/5 is that my socks weren't blow off. I feel like I've had better pastries at other bakeries in town but this is certainly a solid option! I will definitely be back to try more!

I loved the space in this location. There is ample room to walk around and if you decide to hang around eat your dessert they have tables/chairs. I loved the variety of their selections. They had some really tasty looking cakes on display. I saw cookies, bone bones, lemon bars, turnovers, etc. I liked their pricing is listed on their back walls. I decided on cupcakes today. I chose three. I am actually regretting not getting four. The cashier/server was very friendly. She asked about packaging before she did it, which was thoughtful. I got vanilla, cookies and cream and deep chocolate cupcakes. My kids loved the vanilla and cookies and cream. I throughly enjoyed the deep chocolate. It was so rich, moist and delicious. I also tried their oatmeal cookie. So good! I will definitely return!

Very friendly small town feel bakery. Love the selection they have, and the comfortable space to enjoy your sweet tooth cravings. You can custom order cakes. Or buy a slice to go. In addition to sweets, they have a great variety of coffees. Convenient location! P.s. Get a cookie, they are delicious. .

The best bakery! We were driving in from out of town and my friend called ahead to see if they could prepare "gender reveal cupcakes" for us to pick up when we arrived. They were so accommodating and so kind. The cupcakes were DELICIOUS. Thanks so much for helping us out

This bakery is right below my job, I had a craving for something sweet and googled bakeries near me. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. The bakery was very clean and inviting. I loved all the lounge space that was there. There were a ton of delicious treats to choose from! I decided to try to peanut butter cheesecake and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were delicious! I will Definitely be returning for more sweet treats!

I'm so glad we stumbled across this place when we visited Greensboro it's a little off the beaten path but definitely worth going out of the way try it. They have several choices of delicious treats to choose from. Cupcakes, cakes , cheesecake and the list goes on. Staff was friendly and we were able to dine in prices were very reasonable . The apple spice cake was my favorite , my dad enjoyed the cheesecake and the kids loved their cupcakes and I am definitely looking forward to trying some other treats .

I was in the need of something sweet. I saw this donut place and thought about stopping there, but then I decided on cupcakes. I located this place on Yelp and decided to try. I brought 4 cupcakes and they are pretty expensive, I paid $14 something for them. I think their $3.49 or something for one. I can't remember which one I'm eating now ... I think it sweet potatoes idk. Anyway the cupcake is moist but not all that. I just don't like that the icing is hard, that's a no no to me. In my opinion, it's not worth the price. I saw this green thing at the end.

Hummingbird cupcake!
Danielle H.

Cute bakery with a variety of sweets to choose from! Amoroso's strawberry red velvet cake is so good - it's been my birthday dessert of choice multiple times and it never disappoints. Today I tried their hummingbird cupcake and it, too, was delicious. It tasted more like banana bread and less pineapple-y than other hummingbird cakes I've tried, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. The women working there were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Several cakes on display which are usually pretty awesome!
Michael S.

Amoroso's Bakery is always a solid choice for your sweet tooth cravings! Having gone to their other location over the years, I was surprised and happy at this location popping up on my phone! Their cakes are to die for, although the smaller version in cupcake form is nice too! Their cheesecakes are good, but there's a more credible version in town that I appreciate more. Last night I tried a Haystack that was good, but it was a bit hard to bite through which I'm not into doing for a dessert. The Butter Pecan cake was absolutely insane! Extremely moist, tons of pecans, and a rich icing that just tops off the experience!

Tried the butter and vanilla cakes, both were excellent although I believe vanilla was my favorite. The cakes are extremely light and have a soft mouth feel, I really enjoyed the consistency and prefer it over some of the very dense pound cake I've had in the past. The taste will conjure up childhood memories for anyone raised in the south. It is a convenient location near Kickback Jacks and Ghassan's. Once you try it, you'll know why they were featured recently in the O'Henry magazine. You need to give them a try!!

First, to help you understand how my experience went, I had not had cheesecake (which I love) since…read moregoing plant-based in December 2017. I only went to Cheesecakes by Alex because it was the meeting place selected by someone I was meeting with. I thought I would grab a tea, have the meeting, and then leave. However, nothing went as planned. Lol First, I am a "sucker" for eclectic vibes, which is the ambiance that the Elm St. location gives. The inside has a large mural on the wall, it has rustic flooring and furniture, and it is nothing like what I had pictured. I thought I would encounter a more "refined" place where everyone had their pinky in the air because of how everyone raved about Alex and his freaking cheesecake. Gracious! I completely understand now. I mean, I get it. Lol So after the meeting, this roughly drawn menu reeled me in because it had CHAI TEA. That's my jam. Once I had a sip of my delicious hot Chai tea with almond milk, I KNEW everything else was probably tasty, so I (in a reserved way) ordered an apple muffin. The muffin smelled divine, so I inquired (because I HAD to lol) about the best-selling cheesecakes. The cashier smiled at me and directed me to the Bourbon Pecan and the White Chocolate Raspberry flavored cheesecakes. They were $6 per slice, and I couldn't decide, so I had her pack both. I had a long day planned, so I had to take the slices home and refrigerate them. I almost forgot about them until around 10:30 when I had a sweet craving, and...have mercy! BOTH cheesecakes were velvety smooth, flavorful, and decadent. The Bourbon Pecan was heavenly. I could definitely taste its unique flavor pairings, and it had enough pecans. I also loved the buttery crust. The White Chocolate Raspberry was rich and creamy, with the tang of the raspberry exactly where and when you need it in every bite. I had to take bites out of each, you know, to treat them fairly. Lol Although I paid dearly for eating too much dairy, it was worth the experience. Sometimes, you just have to eat the lactose pill and jump in! I'm so glad I did. Now you know that Cheesecakes by Alex is Kiesha Speech approved. Hands down, they are bringing more than flavor. Cheesecakes by Alex is bringing the "flava!" I hear there are several locations in NC. I hope you can try one near you.

They had counter service this morning, where you order at the counter. Since it was my first visit, the young man could probably tell I was new--he greeted me right away and explained how everything worked. The space was clean, and it faces the rising sun. I'd already picked out the perfect seat to let that morning sunshine shine right in. The lemon ricotta pancakes had been calling my name for a while. The young woman at the counter let me know they're soft because of the ricotta. I appreciated the heads-up, since the texture is different from a regular pancake and someone might otherwise think they weren't fully cooked. They were absolutely out-of-this-world amazing! I ordered the three pancakes and only afterward noticed that you can order them individually. Three was definitely too many for me--I made it through two and was stuffed, so I left one lonely pancake behind. I also ordered a side of bacon to add some protein. They also have the cutest little French market inside, with a whole freezer full of items you can take home and bake yourself. And they just introduced some new menu items today, which will be around for the next couple of months: pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes, braised short ribs, beignets, and a savory Dutch baby. If you're ever downtown, stop by and give this place a try! Ciao for now!

Just inside, the pastry case is centrally displayed under the main counter, stock full of an array of traditional French pastries, so long as you arrive before they are sold out. To the left, is an open view of the kitchen, where you can watch the bread shaping and baking take place. I ordered an americano, alongside the sausage roll, the chocolate almond croissant, and the oranais, a traditional apricot filled pastry. Each croissant was flaky, buttery, and flavorful, washed down by the americano, leaving nothing to be desired. To top it off, the pastries were enjoyed on a beautiful, sunny day among the patio seating within the alleyway. Breakfast in Paris is a must try if you are in search of tasty French pastry within close reach!

The pain au chocolat was soooo good, it's a legendary pull. A lot of buttery layers over a rich chocolate center. It isn't overly sweet and the butter shines through.

They also have imported drinks and other specialty made coffees. Service was solid. Overall it's a great place to have around. Can't wait for my next visit.
