I was in the mood for sweets, so I bought a surprise bag from TGTG. I arrived a bit early but there…read morewere a few people in line ahead of me so it worked out. I decided to order a drink, and the lavender honey sounded delightful so I got a medium one. The gals working were friendly and helpful with my order. I happened to notice that they put a bacon-topped donut in my box, and I politely asked if that could be taken out which she graciously obliged. If I hadn't noticed initially, I probably would've given it to a customer as I've done before. My drink was tasty: refreshing and a strong honey flavor, which I love. It was beautiful with the lavender syrup(?) on top. The donuts were a nice variety and I didn't expect so many, so that was a pleasant surprise. I really liked the cinnamon sugar (classic), creme brûlée, and the seasonal cinnamon roll. The blueberry and the chocolate sprinkle ones were great, too. Glad I got to try this place out again and had a positive experience!

Little did I…read moreknow when I went to pick up my daughters 50th birthday cake for her beautiful party that the girls that that worked the counter that there was no CAKE, THE OWNER HAD FILED THE CAKE FOR TGE WRONG DAY. This was 2 hours before the party. So with that said her husband and family were devastated that this beautiful cake would not arrive at her party. This was a huge deal, it wasn't the wrong Cake! Or the wrong flavor! THERE WAS NO CAKE! So with that said, they gave me my 200.00 back and some Halloween cupcakes to not show up empty handed. My daughter threw them in the trash at the restaurant. We can never get back this day! 50 only comes once! How irresponsible! And how does one run a business like that? We will never go back and will tell everyone buyer beware.

OMG, this place rocks…read more We stopped into LGO Bakery and grabbed some seriously delicious goodies. The chocolate pudding cup was silky smooth and had my wife and daughter making very interesting sounds, which is to say: they loved it. I had a piece of key lime cheesecake, which was okay, and we also tried a mini Old Timer, which was like a little chocolate cake situation. I grabbed an Americano too, and we sat down and enjoyed our little dessert-and-coffee moment. But then things went off the rails in the best possible way. As we were leaving, we spotted their English muffins. And let me tell you, these things looked to die for. They were so soft in the bag that I was already emotionally invested before we even made it home. That night, I toasted one up, took a bite, and was immediately transported to my happy place. I don't know what kind of bakery wizardry is happening back there, but this English muffin was the epitome of taste. Soft, flavorful, comforting, and dangerously good. We will absolutely be back. In fact, I'm basically writing this while walking to the car to drive there again. Drool.

They have plenty of seats and tables, plus games if you have a group of friends or you're with family. Customer service was great. I ordered the confetti vanilla cupcake, which was really good.

This was my first time here, and unfortunately, I don't think I'd come back. The bakery itself is…read morereally cute and aesthetically pleasing, so I was excited to give it a try. I got the peach cobbler cupcake, which was almost $7, and for that price I was definitely expecting more. The texture was honestly so strange. The outside was dry and crumbly, while the inside had this really dense, gummy/doughy texture. Somehow it was dry and doughy at the same time. There were actual pieces of peach in it, but I could barely taste any peach flavor. Overall, it just didn't have much flavor at all. I'm not sure if it was specifically the flavor I chose or if it's because I'm not really used to vegan baked goods. I can definitely appreciate that they offer options for people who are vegan, have allergies, or have certain dietary restrictions and still want to satisfy their sweet tooth. But for me personally, the taste and quality just didn't justify paying almost $7 for one cupcake. The customer service didn't really help the experience either. Since it was my first time, I asked the girl at the front what their best sellers were and what she recommended. I was genuinely trying to make conversation and get some guidance on what I should try, but she wasn't very helpful or engaging. It honestly felt like I was talking to a wall. Overall, it's a cute spot and I appreciate what they offer for people with dietary restrictions, but between the price, texture, lack of flavor, and customer service, it just wasn't for me.

On my way to pick up lunch I spotted the word 'cookie' so I had to detour to Scottsdale Cookie Co…read morebefore picking up my lunch order. This is a cute quaint cookie shop straight to the point. Eye-catching cookies are displayed in the case soon as you walk in. I was greeted when I walked in. I forgot to ask her name, but I believe it was Amy the owner. The cool part that I noticed was that she came from the back and immediately washed her hands at the wash station behind the counter while speaking to me. If I wasn't planning to buy a cookie beforehand, that definitely swayed me to give one a try. She went over each cookie explaining that they offer rotating flavors each week, but there are the main flavors that are consistently on the menu. The one that caused my eyes to pop out like on the cartoons was the death by chocolate. It was calling my name and after the mention of Dutch cocoa, chocolate chips, and hazelnut chocolate drizzle, I was sold. This cookie was very tastey. Not too sweet but just right. I love to warm up cookies so I trieD this cookie warmed up and it was even better. I can't wait to go back and get cookies for my upcoming team lunch.

During a short phone conversation I was given in excess of ten cookie types, five cake pop flavors, brownie and bar options, and suggestions regarding customizing and coordinating the desserts. I jokingly inquired if there were savory cookies and by gosh I had options!! The savory scones were fantastic. The CBQ joy of baking and boundless energy is transmuted into every product coming out of her kitchen. All of the cookies, bars, brownies, scones, and cake pops I chose were baked the morning of the shower and delivered warm. My guests were pleasantly complaining that they couldn't choose so had to try one of everything. Many left with the CBQ information with plans to connect for their own desires and needs. And at the end of the delivery I learned the CBQ caters and she mentioned a taco bar, my mind and social world expanded. I eagerly anticipate working with the CBQ for additional social commitments! Cannot recommend her highly enough!

The only dinosaur pastries they had to purchase was one sugar cookie and a banana bread made in the shape of a dinosaur. The banana bread had chocolate chip cookies in it and it tasted very good but not worth the price of $5.50. Their prices to me are little high. This place is a pick up joint only there's no room to sit any where in the store only outside tables and in this heat that's not recommended. The staff was very nice. Will we be back again? No

I finally made my way over and was delighted to find it's next to a free parking lot that's shared with a few businesses in the same plaza. The entrance to Dinersaur is on Thomas. The shop itself is very small and can only fit a few customers at a time. Unfortunately, there's no indoor seating, only a few tables outside. When it's not so hot, it would be enjoyable to enjoy your treats at their outdoor seating area, or take it to go on a stroll at Encanto Park next door. What really stood out to me was the pastries weren't ginormous, which made for a perfect little treat, rather than being essentially a whole meal. Other than little treats, they also sell fun little trinkets. A lot of their merch and decor are dinosaur themed, which is so cute! I got the bread-o-saurus, which is chocolate chip banana bread in the shape of a dinosaur! They have 3 types of dinosaurs, so you can choose whichever one speaks the most to you. I loved that it wasn't too sweet. It was perfectly moist, had the right amount of bounce, and wasn't overly crumbly. Just the perfect texture. I am definitely coming back for the bread-o-saurus and maybe some of their other treats!
