For that variety, don't go right when they open. Wait a minute. If you do go right when they open, grab some bombolini. Have them type you some fresh cannoli. They even put together a killer cake for me with little notice. It's not unusual to have one of the owners wait on you. But the whole staff is nice with her without the owners behind the counter.

It also has a dining room where you can sit and relax and enjoy your treats. The girl behind the counter was helpful and kind, and she prepared our cannolis fresh. We got traditional and pistachio cannolis, a mini cream puff, and some butter cookies. Everything was very tasty. I'd love to go back in the future and try their savory menu.

Never mind the line outside the door around this holiday time once she got inside, it was a very…read moreefficient process. They also had nice signage outside the door so people knew while they were waiting in line to deal with the holiday menu. They have a really cool train zooming above you when you get inside so keep an eye out for that and signs everywhere and delicious pastries everywhere the food looks beautiful. The people working there are happy and helpful. I was able to get two chocolate cake, donuts, and two cinnamon sugar donuts for my holiday breakfast. Everybody else is picking up orders and then adding onto those orders once they got there. But they have plenty of tasty treats. Someone even got a slice of turtle pie and then end up buying the whole darn turtle pie.

These are the best donuts you will ever have hands down. The chocolate frosted one is the most…read moreiconic.

Preparing for my sister-in-laws wedding shower meant we needed to find the perfect centrepieces…read more Most people would opt for a beautiful flower arrangement but my mother-in-law and I wanted an edible centrepiece. Kristen created the most beautiful centrepieces I've ever seen. Most of the guests couldn't tell they were cupcakes until we made the announcement. She even made a cake for the soon to be bride and groom to practice on for the big day. We opted for an array of cupcake flavours: chocolate, red velvet, lemon, banana, and vanilla. All of the flavours were highly complimented by the guests. We even asked for her to use a different holder to go with our rustic theme. Kristin accepted the challenge and found the most perfect rustic vessel to use. I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone. I look forward to working with her in the future.

I am proud to have such a solid institution in my home neighborhood. Service is fast and the pazckis are delicious. See you next year!

My wife and I went in for a large order of 10 pies (everything they had available) this Sunday,…read morewhich is the week of Christmas. As we walked in this place had a young boy and you girl working working the counter. Needless to say both were extremely inexperienced. Especially during the Christmas season and if they weren't they sure acted as if they were. I proceeded to order the remaining pies and when I asked if they could simply box 3 of the 10 pies up in a white box, the boy needed to seek "permission". When he came out he offered to charge extra. I replied "no problem, let's get them going". While he was in the middle of boxing them up another woman came in and ordered one of the pies. Rather than explain this to the young girl he stood there almost scared to say anything. We decided to watch this happen rather the interject since it was Christmas week. We honestly expected the staff member or boy to speak up and let the young girl know we had already ordered them. Well, he did not. And he then proceeded to tell us we were 2 pies short after waiting for 20 min with 4 customers within that time. We decided to just refuse the pies and thank him for the hospitality and left. Very disappointing and very disorganized. I absolutely recommend you avoid this bakery at all cost unless you want a single donut. Or until they decide to hire competent adult staff.

This place has completely fallen apart when it comes to customer service…read more Start hiring people who actually know how to help customers, because whatever you have going on now is unacceptable. What an absolute waste of my time. There were three employees--two glued to the phone and one barely helping the few people in the store. Clearly, these employees have zero capability or training, because they can't even manage more than one customer at a time. Honestly, fire this staff and hire people who are actually capable of multitasking and doing their jobs. If not, reviews like this will keep coming. Shame on you. This used to be a great place to shop for desserts, and now it's a disappointment.
