Barton's has been on my bakery wish list for awhile now, but their hours always prevented me from being able to visit. I was really craving baked goods yesterday and my bf was kind enough to go to Barton's since he was done with work early. It's a pretty decent drive, but somewhere I've been wanting to try so I was excited that I finally was going to get to. Unfortunately, I wish I would have picked another bakery for him to stop at yesterday because it was a total fail. He brought home pretty much 1 of each cookie, half a dozen cupcakes, an apple pie, cake pops and a brownie. When he arrived home, I noticed that the decor was red, white and blue... which was concerning since Memorial Day was Monday, Barton's is closed Sunday's so I can only assume that the baked goods were from Saturday and they were purchased on Wednesday. At that point I was questioning their freshness, but they looked so good that I remained hopeful. We waited for some friends to join us and as we began to try the items, our fears came true. Everything tasted old. The items were dry, hard, stale and the worst part was that they tasted freezer burned. Like the freezer burn flavor overpowered the chocolate, almond, vanilla, whatever other flavoring was in the item. I'm not sure if they were actually frozen? Or maybe their bakery case or refrigerator just has that awful freezer smell that the items absorbed? They were genuinely inedible. As we sampled the cookies, we hoped that the cupcakes would be good... but when we tried the cupcakes, they were just as bad... but how could a brownie be bad? So we tried the brownie and it was awful; we continued until finally we were out of things to try and it was 1 let down after another. I can honestly say that I don't remember the last time I had to spit something out because it was that bad and the 4 of us did on numerous times. I'm not sure that we actually consumed anything. I can imagine that everything would be absolutely delicious if it was fresh, but the only "clearance" item that we got were the sugar cookies. Everything else was full priced. The purchase totaled $35 which isn't unreasonable for high quality, fresh bakery items, but I have a feeling we paid full price for 5 day plus old items and are incredibly disappointed. If it was close by, I might give them another chance, but it absolutely isn't worth the drive to risk having the same experience the second time. I've heard wonderful things about this bakery so maybe it was just an off day...

a dozen cupcakes

I am going to start this post by saying that I rarely give reviews, especially negative ones. However, I feel so strongly about my experience here that I am sharing with hope no one has the same horrific experience that I did. I ordered cupcakes and cookies from Barton's Bake Shop for my sister's baby shower. I had not ordered from this bakery before (and will never again), but after seeing the beautiful baby girl themed cookies and cupcakes they had posted on their Instagram page I decided to give it a shot - they looked perfect! When ordering the girl on the phone was very friendly and helpful. She took my order, I placed a deposit, and all was well until the day the order was picked up. First off, I ordered 5 dozen cupcakes and 5 dozen cookies. When picking up the order one of the dozen cupcake containers was short 4 cupcakes. I understand people make mistakes, but the containers held one dozen each. I mean, counting isn't even necessary. After acting like we were a bother, they refunded us for 4 cupcakes. The cookies were beautiful, although they still did not contain the flower details on the onesies that they had in the picture on the Instagram post. I was satisfied with them. However, the cupcakes looked NOTHING like the photo from their Instagram page that I referred to when ordering. I will also say I am not a super picky person and love supporting small local businesses (especially at this unprecedented time), but when paying TOP DOLLAR for a large order for my sister's baby shower I also expect to be satisfied with my purchase. When I called the bakery and asked to speak to a manager to express my concern they connected me to the owner. This is what led me to write this review. The owner was completely disrespectful and had NO CARE whatsoever about my concerns. He told me he saw the order before it went out and they were just fine. He repeatedly asked me what he could do to help and every time I expressed how I felt and what I would like to be done he told me it wasn't a possibility they have no time to redo any cupcakes. All I asked is for the dozen and a half of the cupcakes that looked nothing like the photo to be remade for the next day and I would bring the unacceptable cupcakes back. Not to mention this bakery is at least a 45 minute drive from my house. After going back and forth for what seemed like an eternity his final solution was for me to bring ALL of the cupcakes back and get refunded for them. What was I supposed to serve all of the guests at my sister's baby shower the next day?? He didn't care and wasn't concerned. My final solution was to replace the dozen and a half of the cupcakes with cupcakes from another local bakery I know I can rely on. I did not receive any money back, I did not get new cupcakes that look like what I had ordered, but I did get a headache from this bakery. I am extremely disappointed and upset with his rude attitude as well as the lack of care for their customer's satisfaction and will never be going back to this bakery. I would recommend you do the same. I have posted pictures of both the Instagram photos advertised and the product I received.

Barton's did the cake and flowers for my wedding last year. First of all, let me say you will never meet a sweeter family. They are so very kind and patient. When we went for our tasting, the cake was out of this world amazing. Unfortunately, it didn't taste as good on my wedding day, but it wasn't bad. Our cake did look absolutely beautiful though! I loved the flowers also. I couldn't have been more pleased with how they matched our colors. I would use them again for sure. I would just want to make sure the cake I receive the day of my event is fresh.

The concept is really cute with sandwich options to choose from, and of course the build your own charcuterie boards! It's a beautiful place with a nice, open interior and comfortable seating outside. I tried the Gouda grilled cheese with tater tots and a side of caprese salad. They also didn't really have iced tea on the menu, but they offered to make me one and it was probably the best iced tea I've ever had! The sandwich was perfectly crispy and buttery on the outside - an element that is very important to me! The flavors were very good also. My only complaint would be that I wish the cheese had been a bit more melted. It wasn't really melted at all, for what I would expect from a grilled cheese sandwich. The tater tots and ranch were very good. There seemed to be some herbs in the tots, which I liked. The only thing I really didn't care for was the caprese salad. It just had an off taste to it and I ended up only eating one bite. All in all, I will definitely go back! It's a great place!

This review is written regarding the best feeds store on Wildwood this past fall. It is written now…read moreas not many people look for a nursery review late fall and winter but rather the spring. My daughter's wedding was on October 28th. We were hunting live mums for decorating. We called MULTIPLE local nurseries. No one was willing to help, commenting that we could purchase what was left at the end of the season. As I continued down my list, I called best feeds on Wildwood. I had great experiences there before. I was shocked when the gentleman that answered the phone said to stop in and that they could certainly do something for me!!! He introduced me to two female staff members who were experts in matching colors, mums that bloomed later in the season, and sizes that I would need for each space. They also taught us how to make the blooms open at just the right time. The day of pick up they were all organized on a rack and ready to go. Can't say enough about the plant knowledge that the staff possesses. I really won't shop anywhere else for my plant needs moving forward. Can't say enough about how much it made her wedding day and the complements we received about our outside decorations. Cathy B

The one problem I had was there where virtually no customer sales help at all and after about 15 minutes I gave up and decided to leave. In the entire time I was there not one sales person came up to me and asked if they could help me find something???????? For me that is poor customer service even if they have nice plants and trees and a huge selection customer service should always be #1.
