Should I also mention taking cash and working the cash register and then touching food without washing hands or gloves? Unsanitary Childhood memories destroyed.

I've had everything here including cupcakes, brownies, croissants, macarons, cookies, madelines, etc. I've also come here to get a small cake for special occasions. It is also a very nice place to come with friends and enjoy a coffee and pastries. The elegant, pristine interior with marble accents and beautiful displays creates a welcoming Parisian vibe. Perfect for a quick treat or relaxed sit-down. I love the cookies here, they're soft and chewy unlike the Plainview FWS I always leave with a giant bag of 5 of every different flavor of cookie(chocolate chip, nutella, oreo, pistachio, etc) because the texture is so soft and smooth. My new obsession is the fruits of the forest cake. So delicious! Its a must try!!! It gets packed in here, but the line moves quickly! If you haven't tried FWS yet, what are you waiting for?

Many minutes later parked the car and went to the shop which notes open until 8pm and call if door not open. I went, it was closed O(see pix) I called and left a message. I did some shopping in a few other stores in the area and then left. More than two hours later I got a phone reply that they were out. Clearly. Must be a business landline. What I was told from one of the other merchants is that they take orders and do very nice specialty cakes. They also have their own agenda of when they are there and not. So for other bakery needs go to the bakery down the block at Riesterer"s. I did. I can not say how good Sunflower bakery foods are. If I should have a need for some particular specialty cake that another bakery can't make, I could always their number. Other than that I have nothing else to say,

I have to say that this is it!!!! I am so stoked. I'll definitely be back again. As soon as I paid for my cookie someone else walked in behind me and was quick to place their order right after. I'm not sure, but it might be cash only or cash for under a certain amount. I looked through the shelves of cookies and saw some other varieties my family and I enjoy. I'll have to taste those later.
