My family and I were visiting Galveston before our cruise and we had 3 who would be celebrating…read morebirthdays. The first birthday was the day before our cruise started, so I called PattyCakes Bakery to see if they had any cakes available for purchase and if I could get writing on it, because my brother had mentioned that he only wanted to try local restaurants while we were there. I was assured that they had cakes and that they could write on the cake. My sister and I took an Uber to the store and they had a cake available, but they told us it would be about 5 minutes before the person who did the writing arrived. We waited much longer than 5 minutes and the person who was supposed to do the writing NEVER arrived. We could see the staff texting and calling and finally one of the people working said that she was not good at it, but she offered to write on the cake for us. She didn't do a great job (all we wanted was "Happy Birthday" and my brother's name) but it was better than nothing, and my sister and I truly appreciated those that tried to assist us. My rating is based upon the horrible service by the person who was supposed to do the writing, and the fact that we paid $35 for a chocolate cake that was dry and not very good. I would not recommend this bakery, even with the great service we received from those who were working that day.

We sought out PattyCakes due to their positive reviews about gluten free (gf) menu options…read more This quaint little shop was a pleasant surprise upon entering. The seemingly all women team was cheerful, helpful, and delightful! The reviews were accurate. I asked first about their gf options and was offered at least a half dozen options. I settled on the buckeyes and petit fours. My gluten ingesting travel mates selected cinnamon roll cookies and the pecan cinnamon roll. The petit fours were my personal favorite, they were simply MARVELOUS! The cake was dense and moist and the frosting literally made me wish I had a whole cake! The buckeyes, the cinnamon roll and cookies also received honorable mention. All three were superb with a mug of black coffee! Do recommend that you heat the cinnamon roll if able prior to eating. Considering going back tomorrow for more petit fours!!

I never knew a bakery like this existed in Friendswood. SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery is a cute…read morelittle bakery, but has so much to offer! The owner is very nice and it's clean inside. The interior reminded me of a little cafe in Europe. This location is comfortable for Christians. I could tell by the music they were playing. Every dessert is homemade and original. Their cupcake selection is astonishing. Besides their usual flavors, SmallCakes Cupcakery will have one different kind of cupcake featured daily. They also have ice cream, cupcake-in-a-jar, cookies, macarons, brownies, cookie sandwiches, cake-sicles, tea, coffee and 'pupcakes' (cupcakes for dogs)! If you just want cake, you'll have to order ahead of time because this place mainly focuses on small desserts. The custom cakes here though are a must. I was so impressed with their past cake designs. You don't have to be forced to pick a design from their catalogue, though. You can still order your own designed cake. SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery customize cupcakes and cookies too. Downsides: I will agree with past reviews, that this SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery location needs to correct their opening hours on their website AND storefront. When I was there, it said they were closed on Sunday. Yet, on their website and on Yelp, it doesn't state that. This is unacceptable. It's small inside with only three tables, so this place is not ideal for a large group of people. Prices can get high depending on how many sweets you order. I will say that customized cakes are expensive no matter where you order from. SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery is no different. They have a minimal selection of ice cream. SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery is located in a very busy plaza, so they're easy to miss. I should take my family here sometime. My nephew and niece will love SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery.

This is NOT the type of bakery where you can set down, and have a cup of coffee with your favorite treat. They don't serve warm beverages here anyway. Craved Creations is pick up only. You can order special cakes and other sweets, of course. Since this is a small bakery, stock is limited. You'll never know what desserts are available until you walk in or call them. There's cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, cinnamon rolls, cookie sandwiches and macarons. Everything is homemade, fresh from the kitchen. They don't sell whole cakes or cake slices. You can sample cake flavors, but only for parties and events. I've seen some photos of their customized cakes and designer cookies. The staff do excellent work! Their prices are surprisingly reasonable. Me and my family would love to order from Craved Creations in the near future!

All of the employees were super nice and they offered a huge variety of homemade cakes, cookies, pies, assorted trays, coffees, brownies and custard shipped from Pennsylvania. I appreciated the custard most because it was non-diary and low in added sugar. Their portions are very generous and affordable. We had a classic fresh baked chocolate chunk cookie, root beer float, and cherry chocolate roca custard. The seating and oldies tunes were a nice touch. Sadly, I'd imagine the businesses in this strip center are losing business due to the heavy construction on 45 south, so if you're in the area, give them a try! 10/10 recommend

AMBIENCE: Such a cute Southern breakfast café! It was packed when we went, but the space still felt surprisingly open and comfortable considering how many people were there. Overall, it has a really cute, casual breakfast atmosphere.

A friend of mine was set to have his birthday while on a business trip to Fort Worth, and I decided…read moreI wanted to surprise him in some way, given I know what it's like to have your birthday on the road. The tricky part was the fact that I couldn't ask my friend any details about his trip; instead I had to hope he'd somehow volunteer the information I needed to know - he did! But it wasn't until Sunday night that all the details came together. On Monday morning I began scheming, and by that afternoon, I had a few bakery shop options as finalists (thanks, Yelp!). Was it possible to order a custom cake or cupcakes on a Monday afternoon to be delivered on Tuesday evening? Yes, indeed! Stephen totally rose to the occasion, and was a dream with whom to work. He called me back within a few minutes of my initial voicemail inquiry and we discussed options - he could bake custom cupcakes within the time parameter, but not a cake. Done! He directed me to his website URL to select flavors, and from there I was able to easily fill out a form with my order request. Once sent, I had a few follow-up questions that we knocked out via email - including me second-guessing my initial request, asking for his suggestions/recommendation, and then changing my order. Once I was happy with the final decisions, he sent me a super quick & easy invoice to pay via Square. Easy as pie! Below is my order, along with a photo from Stephen of the final product. Note: before posting this - since I wasn't able to taste them myself - I confirmed with my friend that the cupcakes did, in fact, taste delicious. Also, he liked them so much - and they were such a hit at the office - that my friend even ordered a second batch today! One last thing to note is how flexible and accommodating Stephen was for both my friend and me in terms of delivery. I definitely recommend Stephen, and look forward to trying his cupcakes myself one day as his business continues to grow!

We did not know that they made all of their food to order. We waited around 30 minutes to get our food, but well worth it! Please note that there is a sign warning you that because they are a small business, that when they are busy, wait times to get food can't take a while. If you do not feel like waiting and are in a rush, this is not the place for you. Please come back when you have time to enjoy the atmosphere and the amazing food. I was telling one of the servers to please pass along my compliments to the chef and the owners. I was having a rather rough morning on our first visit. The best way I can describe the deliciousness of the food was that I went from being a little bit meh, to a strong to feeling like I was having a warm hug. I ordered the biscuits and gravy my other half ordered the berries and cream cinnamon French toast, and my little ordered the Mickey Mouse pancake with cinnamon. We came back another day and all ordered the same thing again, and it was just as amazing as the first time. The inside of the building is quite rustic. Even though you are waiting a bit for your food, there is so much to look at that time just passes by. Even in the bathroom will keep you occupied, and not just with the normal activities . The staff was amazingly friendly. On the second day, the gentleman server did not know whether the Mickey Mouse pancake should have the cinnamon bun toppings on it (you know,...because kids might start bouncing off of the ceiling), or sprinkles and whipped cream. We requested the latter and he came over and put on a tiny show for my little. The gentleman made a fun little show of putting whipped cream on Mickey and let my little decorate his own pancake. Definitely a 10/10 experience and we will be returning when we are around these parts again.
