Maybe it was the refrigeration, I'm not sure but it was off putting. This was our first visit so I'm not sure if this is normal or if this was an off day. The location is easy to find and had plenty of parking. We wanted to love this place but it just missed the mark for us.

Super disappointing experience. Called and spoke to them after narrowing down bakeries for my…read morefiancé's milestone birthday. The woman was so sweet and took the info I gave. All we wanted was an almond cake with fresh strawberry filling. Cool. I pick it up and there are no strawberries on top and when we cut into it, it's raspberry. I called and they asked how to make it right so I asked for the correct cake I had ordered and I'd pick it up in a few days as we were headed out of town for her bday. Pick up the new cake and the filling was like Walmart jam. It was so bad. I'm sad because I trusted them and always try to support small business but never again.

My mom owns a bakery herself so I can be very picky with the quality of baked goods, but this was some of the best cake I've ever had. The cake itself was very moist and had a wonderful honey flavor, and the icing was a good buttercream. We can't wait to go back and try more flavors!

If you love ice cream you must be familiar with the Cold Stone Creamery. You also must be aware…read morethat quality and service varies widely from store to store. I am happy to report that this location in Durham is the best of the best that Cold Stone Creamery has to offer, and my favorite new reason to visit the Southpoint area. The owner clearly loves the product and interacting with the public, so it's a win-win for all. A bonus for me is that we share the same favorite flavor creation, so I'm guessing they'll never run out of the ingredients! Now I know that Ted's Montana Grill, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and P.F. Chang's all serve very nice desserts, but if you're in the vicinity, why not walk on over to the Cold Stone Creamery? I guarantee you'll be glad that you did!

Ordered a birthday cake online on a Sunday. Scheduled pick up on Thursday a few days later at…read more11:30. Got there at 11:30 and was told the cake was not ready, because the ganache was not put on the cake. They asked for 20-30 minutes to put the Chocolate Ganache on the cake. I went and got lunch which gave them the time they needed, plus more! Went to pickup the cake, pregnant employee, and younger employee quickly slid the cake into a bag and handed it to me. They didn't bother to show me the cake at all. I specified " Happy Birthday" in red icing, got pink icing. Ganache was SO sloppily applied that the cake was still peeking out from under the ganache! I won't be going back there again!

"VERY hole-in-the-wall Middle Eastern patisserie"…read more This gives hole-in-the-wall new meaning. The location is in a strip-mall that's set back a ways from 55, so it's not really visible from the street at all. However, it's weirder than that-- you have to drive AROUND the strip mall to the back, past the various loading docks for other stores, and they you see this place is open just from the BACK of the strip mall. I heard the owner is Algerian, but there are many Palestinian references and flags around the shop, so if that's triggering, then know this in advance before coming in. Still, the place is brightly lit and airy, with tables to eat. They do custom cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts, but we just wanted to sample some sweets. Hours are funny-- just midday Friday through Sunday. We ordered a pecan brownie and a pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa (shredded Middle Eastern pastry), as well as a mocha coffee. The mocha coffee was rich and delicious, as expected. The pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa was to-die-for... SO delicious. Super thick and messy, as you'd hope it would be. And of course the pecan brownie was amazing. I will say the pastries are not "cheap". I got a single tahini chocolate chip cookie to go for a friend, and that was $4.50 for a modest sized cookie. The other dishes above were in the $6 range. But these are unusual custom-made dishes, so it's fair.

Their rolled ice cream combinations are tasty but the made to order taiyaki truly takes the cake. Nice and crispy on the outside that gives away to warm and gooey Nutella.

They have redone their seating to include a couch which is very comfortable and can comfortably seat different parties with space in between. Always a treat and can't wait to be back.
