Sugar Studio by Tiers of Elegance has a huge variety of cupcakes. When I visited on a random…read moreSaturday, I saw at least a dozen different flavors: wedding cake, cherry chip, peanut butter chocolate chip, strawberry, lemon and many more. They also had chocolate chip cookie sandwiches, frosted sugar cookies, cake pops and slabs of frosted cake to go. There was just so much sugary goodness everywhere I looked. We picked up a variety pack of cupcakes to go, and my kids loved them. The cupcakes are more on the smaller side, which is great with me because they are so rich -- you really only need two or three bites and you're satisfied. The frosting on the cupcakes tastes like it's a buttercream base. The cupcakes are meticulously decorated -- all of them had a sprinkling of edible gold, so it felt that much more elevated. Fancy cupcakes! If you want to make a big impression on someone, gifting a cupcake or two from this place will do the trick.

Absolutely fabulous cakes! They have a nice selection of…read morecupcakes and slices of cake. We got the Oreo, red velvet, and a big slice of chocolate cake with white frosting, which was my personal favorite. The cake texture was at once moist & fluffy.. The ratio of frosting to cake = A+. The frosting was not too sweet, which was lovely. Sugar Studio knows how to create beautiful and delicious cakes! It's one of my new favorite bakeries! Service was super friendly and parking was easy (they have a lot).

Always in pursuit of "off the beaten path" gems you can often find in places in small town Indiana,…read morethe Red Room Cakery fits that bill. Prairieton....small township, population maybe 1300...maybe, 12 minutes from the south side of Terre Haute. Discovered on a Facebook post indicating a "pop-up from 10am-2pm" on the Sunday we showed up, the Red Room Cakery is actually wholesale and not normally open to the public. Lots of cake displays and brag books about, cakes are clearly this guys jam, in addition to the baked goods he sells thru restaurants in a 50 miles radius of his Prairieton ovens. And by "this guy," I am referring to Chef J who is here this day with his side kick employee Olivia. And don't underestimate Olivia and her shy demeanor, as a current student of Purdue's hospitality program and an award winning cake baker from a 4-H event not so long ago, she knows her way around a baked good. I always say "behind every good man is a better woman" and that be Olivia in this case. Chef J could not be more of a sweeter teddy bear type personality if he tried. Kind of a bit unexpected considering that this spot is not normally open to the public, which really means "I have enough business and I would rather not deal with the public." But on this day and in this moment of this pop-up that I show up with my aging folks from Terre Haute, we were treated with real midwestern hospitality...the kind that I have forgotten about living on the west coast and in giant urban cities around the planet. I tend to drill down hard to get to the meat of a business or a person, so after grilling this overgrown teddy bear a bit, Chef J is explaining to me his military career (thank you for your service!) and how he got into cooking before he is inviting me around the back to see the action of the kitchen. The smell of hot sugar and yeast coming from an oven, painting a glaze of a gooey cinnamon concoction on top of the twists baked just so, the perfect amount of flaky crust and mildly doughy center to make this twist Mid-westernly delish. We are consuming one right on the spot before we depart. Some lava cakes for good measure, we walk out with some items to enjoy at home and happy to have made the acquaintance of Chef J and Olivia. And those lava cakes.... Keep in the frig vs the counter and then pop in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds....incredible! Really delicious. The actual establishment is again not normally open, so I am appreciating this unicorn moment. There is no hot coffee option, music chiming in or even many places to sit. Nothing about this spot says "hang out/linger." Rumor has it that Chef J tried pizza for awhile and it just did not catch on. What I clearly know and the greater Praireton area does not....bakers make the best pizzas because the dough is always exceptional. But anyway.... I consider the Red Room Cakery and our unique moment to visit and buy some baked goods moment a big win and really enjoyed taking the trip over from Terre Haute. Chef J is celebrating 10 years of being in business this summer. I am on the look out during all visits now moving forward when in Terre Haute to see if the baked goods served at an eatery come from the Red Room Cakery. Because there they are a little bit delicious and a little bit Midwestern, which makes the perfect baked good in my eyes.

Owner was very down to earth and honest with his suggestions. Also we got to sample a few things, so that's always a plus. We started by checking everything out, the inventory was low but still a few options. Sampled a couple of ice creams. Ended up getting a Muncher cup is what i think they were called. Two scoops of ice cream with a cupcake. Another member of our party got a muffin they enjoyed, then our last memeber got a single cupcake and drink. The owner gave us a brownie on the house too. Ended up eating inside and watching a little bit of a cooking show that was on. Along with chatting with the owner. All in all if you want a great environment and treat this is the place to go. Was updated that they will be serving beer and wine soon. Also at some point will be doing soups and sandwiches. I'm sure this business will do great if they keep up the good work!

It wasn't clear what their hours were: the website said they were open until 4pm, while the hours posted Google and on the door said 2pm, and here on Yelp it says 3pm. They also had a paper sign taped to the door saying they would close that day at 1pm. Fortunately we made it there a half hour before closing, but it would probably be a good idea for them to sort that out across the various platforms. I ordered a latte with praline syrup which was nice (the cups and lids were kind of the best I've seen at a coffee shop, which is random, but worth mentioning) as well as a bagel and a donut. The donut was a chocolate long john and I asked the person taking my order if they were filled or unfilled. They said unfilled, which is what I wanted, but when I got back to my car, it was filled. My husband went in to place his own order, so he purchased another normal chocolate frosted donut and it was fine, but I would have been bummed if I had been on my own and gotten the wrong thing. My bagel was good and my husband enjoyed the coffee and pastry he ordered, plus my reject donut. ;) Looks like it'd be a nice place to stay and enjoy a meal or do some work, as there was a whole separate sitting area upstairs.

Anyway, walked into the cutest shop with wonderful employees ready to serve. Ordered a wonderful tasting espresso to go and a couple of donuts for the road back home. Tried the sprinkle birthday cake donut and a regular yeast donut. There were many options for bread choices and saw a large open space upstairs as well as a good amount of seating downstairs. Appears you can watch the bakery working while sitting as well, which is a nice add to any cafe/coffeeshop. PROS: Space is large and inviting Friendly staff Easy parking across the street or on the street Cake donut was great, needs a few more sprinkles but great Coffee taste was great, had a double espresso so definitely tasted the coffee Breakfast sandwiches were on the menu, did not try, but great option CONS: Yeast donut- depends on what you like. It is a thicker yeast donut not the light and fluffy I can eat 10 at a sitting type of yeast, but the taste was good HIGHLY RECOMMEND STOPPING INTO THIS ONE STOP SHOP!

A lot of turnover and they NEVER have cinnamon rolls or if they do, they are always frozen. The coffee is great and they used to have a super upbeat person at the window but I haven't seen her in awhile. I went from going daily to about once a week due to never having my favorite item. I can see running out once in a while but this is almost every time I go. If it happens to me that often I feel like the need to look at their ordering or make sure employees are taking them out of the freezer in a timely manner. You're losing out on a lot of sales!

This review is way overdue, so my apologies for tardiness…read more Mark your calendar and start the clock. If you want to dive into this bake shop, you have 6 hours on Friday's to stop in and indulge in your bread fix. The Harvest Bakery retail store is open from 9am-3pm on Fridays....only Friday. The ladies of this bakery are super sweet. While I am standing there at 9:20am of course on a Friday, a flurry of regulars come in and grab English muffins and cookies and are talking bread. I am thinking "am I too late?....are all the English muffins gone?...are they that special?" After speaking with Marta and Amelia who are working there, I come to discover that this is a family business. Harvest Bakery opened in 2008. They sell primarily to restaurants and markets in the area (this is basically what keeps them busy on the other six days of the week I suppose). The bakery itself is basically a simple storefront. It looks like an old school kitchen in the front and a commercial kitchen in the back. The ambiance is Hautian charming, but also says "buy your baked goods and leave." This is the kind of off the beaten path spots I enjoy discovering. Loaves of bread (whole wheat, white, seed), loaves of swirl bread (cinnamon raisin, mocha chip, bacon cheddar), bagels (plain, asiago, blueberry), quiche, cookies (peanut butter, chocolate chippers, thumbprint) and did I mention the sourdough. They make their own sourdough (multigrain, rye, gold N white). They have a big chalkboard showing all the goods posted in the inside of the store when you walk in. I am advised that the cinnamon roles have not yet properly risen, so of course I wait an hour and return. Worth the wait.... I walked out after the nicest conversation with Marta and Amelia with all sorts of baked goods to share with my parents. The sourdough, cinnamon rolls, cinnamon raisin bread and English muffins I am still remembering so well all these weeks later (but absolutely all items were delicious and I mean that). Those English muffins are ridiculously delicious....a bit insane and unexpected. Thick, fuffy and they toast up just perfect at home in my toaster. It certainly seems like those patrons that walked in when I arrived picking up English muffins are on to something. I am advised that you can call and order ahead of time (if they are only open one day a week, you want to make sure that they don't sell out of those English muffins, right?) Everything was also so reasonably priced. What a delight to discover Harvest Bakery. I hope to be back when visiting my folks in Terre Haute. Maybe I should make sure to always be in town to include a Friday. If they were open to the public for more than 6 hours on one day in a week, my review would have been a 5. But make no mistake, a Yelp worthy establishment to visit.

I was amazed by the extensive menu at Little Bear--they even had a whole section dedicated to St. Patrick's Day drinks! Of course, Little Bear knows their way around the traditional coffee options, and they have a wide variety of latte flavors and cold brew toppings (where else can you find cookie dough flavored cold foam?) According to the Little Bear website, the Bear Bombs (think: a Starbucks refresher, only ten times more delicious) are really popular. They offer a lineup of permanent flavors, like strawberry or orange, but I opted to try a special-edition spring mix: the tropical bomb. It was a delicious combination of mango and mixed berry, and it was refreshing and flavorful without being too sweet. I am so jealous of the students at ISU who can stop by Little Bear for a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon study session in the adorable dining area! I seriously wish Little Bear would open a location closer to where I live because I would be going there every day (and I would never run out of drinks to try!). Little Bear puts chain coffee shops to shame, and I am so glad that a quick Yelp search brought me to one of my new favorite places!
