Came here tonight. Got the banana cream cheesecake (apparently a best seller) and dubai chocolate bar. Walked out paying $16 for 2 SMALL desserts. Like small, even the cheesecake (which seemed like I was maybe getting a day old as it was in a to-go box in a fridge when handed to me). Way overpriced for what it is, which was annoying. They were not transparent about price of Dubai chocolate dessert at all. This 1.5" square dessert is $9! read more

I had seen this place on Instagram and decided to try it. Their reviews were not really descriptive and left me wanting to know more. They do offer a lot of desserts that seem to be from different areas of the world. But of course it's their own take on it and might not be totally authentic.Each label in the case tells you its origin.They offer coffee and specialty drinks. Some viral drinks like the banana pudding matcha.I got a cheese cake slice for $7. I wanted it to be the size of a Cheesecake Factory slice but was a bit smaller. I liked the drinks options and would come back to try their special drinks. read more

Absolutely astonishing is the words I would use to describe the cake and service I received. Adeline created the best cake I've ever tasted and on a time crunch for my grandmothers 85th birthday. The love and compassion she had for my situation are to be studied by bakeries around the world (no pun intended) thank you so much for this masterpiece! read more

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place. We were excited to fit it into our trip to Waco, but the experience was disappointing from the moment we swiped our card to the moment we walked out. We picked out pastries and ordered the cutest Halloween-themed coffee flight. After paying, I stood there awkwardly as the cashier and another staff member went back and forth about not knowing how to make the drinks. I decided to sit down and wait, thinking, "The flavors sound great--how bad could it be?" Sadly, the answer was terrible. The $16 coffee flight was undrinkable; we could only manage a couple of sips from two of the drinks. To make matters worse, I saw the barista lick her finger while preparing drinks. We politely asked someone behind the counter to dump our untouched drinks so they wouldn't overflow the cans. She seemed confused but didn't ask why all the cups were still full. On the pastry side, the Tres Leches cake was fantastic--light, moist, and flavorful. Unfortunately, the Dubai chocolate brownie and French silk pie were disappointing. The brownie was dry and crispy, while the pie slice looked stale, with the edges darkened from sitting pre-sliced in its container. Overall, it was a sad experience because we had such high hopes. I'm hoping this was just a one-time fluke. read more

While the price is on the higher end, we felt that the quality and taste was worth it. We ordered 2 drinks and 2 sweets. My husband thought the Pumpkin Spice Horchata could have had a stronger horchata flavor, but I enjoyed it. My Strawberry Matcha had strawberry puree and chunks which I really enjoyed. We ordered a slice of the coffee cake and some kind of apricot chocolate pastry. The coffee cake was perfect for me as I do not like them to be overwhelmingly sweet. Surprisingly the apricot chocolate pastry was our favorite item. It was a delicious blend of tartness and sweet. read more

I go here 1 - 2 times a month. I have had a fairly good experience with the food. Today I got 2 mango Panna Cottas(which I always get when I go here) So I had expectations. I opened them up, and it's very clear these are DAYS old. The mangos at the top have started to dehydrate and the dessert itself started separating from the walls of the cup they come in. I understand as a business, you don't want to be wasteful- but may want to tell your customers what they are buying is NOT FRESH but edible and offer a discounted price. I understand the markup for freshly baked unique desserts, but I certainly wouldn't pay that for old food. I'll continue to come here, but I will be asking when the desserts are made and take a better look at them. read more

We were very excited to visit a Waco bakery with treats that could remind us of our travels. If you've never been / eaten outside of Waco, it could be an exciting concept to try once. If you've traveled outside of Waco or have basic baking skills at home, this will be an overpriced disappointment (but you can get some cute photos out of it). We paid $27 for a few plain macarons, 1 Dubai chocolate bar (what made them popular in Waco) and a single watered down "hot chocolate". We were very sad to see the treats display case completely filled with bright artificial food dyes. If the goal was to be authentic - you will not see brightly artificially colored macarons in Paris (and they would cost a fraction of the price for more quality ingredients than here.) The Dubai bar, also filled with food dye and glitter, tasted like a KitKat bar. Nothing to spend that kind of money on. We did not get any other baked goods since we wanted to test out those things, but most of the pastries on display looked a bit dry, sad, tired. We were the only customers in the shop when we visited. No need to return. Would definitely recommend if you're offering GF options and charging those prices - upgrade to using all natural food dyes, organic ingredients, to make your costs worthwhile and improve your authenticity to support your name. read more

Stopped in on our visit to Waco. Very cute atmosphere and some very interesting selections from around the world. Dobos torte, Baklava, etc. got the baklava and a lemon bar, americano and apple pie chai. Everything was great and the owner (Adilene ) was super nice and friendly and answered all our questions. She could not have been nicer. We are only in town for a long weekend but will definitely be back before we leave. read more

This was our second time coming here, we always give an establishment two visits before making a review. First time was fine, I got a coffee and a Brazilian Brigadero and both were good. Our second visit was underwhelming, expensive, and disappointing. For the prices of the desserts, I expect either larger portions, or better tasting products. The two stars of the show were the Caramel Slices and the Birthday Cake Macaron. The Dubai Brownie was an absolute joke, it was disgusting and tasted as if it had been sitting there for days, with a micro hint of pistachio filling. The panna cotta also tasted very old, and had the weird rubbery film that turns chewy once it's been sitting for too long. The Golden Hour Iced Latte was not very good either, it was bland and tasted like I should've just made my own latte at home. This was one husband's first time visiting and he was so excited. It wasn't busy at all, only us and another couple. He was trying to ask about desserts and the girl seemed incredibly lost anytime we tried to ask about anything. She said to ask if we had any questions, but any question we asked was met with an "uhhh" or "I'm not sure". This place is definitely cute, lots of flowers and cute spots for photos. But there are about 15 other places in Waco that have equally cute photo spots AND great food WITH good prices. Do not fall into this floral trap, and try some of the other coffee and dessert shops around Waco. read more

Oh my goodness run don't walk! I got their keto/gf/sf peanut butter pie and it was heavenly. Cutest environment, and the staff was so sweet!

Dubai chocolate cheesecake is a 0/10, banana pudding cheesecake is a cake 1/10. Definitely a waste of money and time, do not go here.
