Many guests asked where I had the cookies and PF baked because they were so pretty and delicious. Mary from Louise's provided me excellent service in arranging my order and for the morning of the event for us to pick up our order. I love that I could talk with Mary and meet with her in person, on the phone, and by text. Thank you Louise's!

When one orders a cake, one doesn't expect, especially when paying for a custom order, for it to…read moreget lost. And, one DEFINITELY, DOES NOT expect to pay for such poor craftsmanship. I, we provided ALL decor visible on this cake sans the "crafted" bottle out of icing they charged me $55 for on a 2-tier 8"/6" top only to be told they couldn't craft it for this 2 tiered cake. So, we scraped last minute the top tier. Does it look as if it couldn't have been on a 2-tier considering the bottle is NOT over 21/2" tall?!?! And, where is the rice krispy?!?! I bit into it to find ICING!!!! (AGAIN - see pictures.) I was told to have the 2 tiered quote for $185 with bottle (sans tax), the bottle wouldn't work. I would have to have some custom bottle cookie on top. God forbid considering what you visually see I ended up receiving. So, to have my custom bottle like pictures I provided, I'd have to have the 8" solo. Okay...fine. Yet, to write my daughter's name on this pathetic icing fondant covered bottle, I was to pay just shy of original quote. And, TO ADD insult to injury, I WAS blamed for such. Like, REALLY?!?! Well, if they'd delivered upon what I had to RE-discuss/address because of their ineptness on innumerable conversations, this may have been fine. But, AGAIN, this IS NOT! So, I scraped the top tier. Question, consumer- do you think an 8" cake, with EXTRA layer, is worth $165 ($180 w/ tip?!?!?!)? How STUPID and regretful I am I tipped, prior to cake receipt. (On a sidebar, the red velvet, our daughter's favorite, was decent. But, not worth the $300 my decorations and this cake cost.) ! "Caveat Emptor!", friends. And, unless you desire hassle upon hassle and to be COMPLETELY stressed out and disappointed beginning 10 days out from whatever reason you're purchasing a custom cake, GO ANYWHERE but here!!! As, fortunately, there are INNUMERABLE bakeries (like White Oaks Cookie Co I found to custom make (18) specialty cookies for our daughters surprise party her friends are putting on for her that are EXCELLENT and 1/2 of the $150 plus tax these bozos we're going to charge me.) My, how I CONTINUE to miss my beloved Dreamcakes! Lesson learned. PRAY I save you from such lesson!!! You've been warned...

Having a reservation for this hidden gem Is a must. Only rated it a 4 because some Italian meal I don't quite understand. But service was great.. Lasagna was plentiful and tasty.

I may have finished it.

Man what a bad experience at a nostalgic restaurant. I…read morehaven't been in so many years and yes I have heard it's gotten worse and now I can see why. First they had a special for oyster.

The waitress had to come back and apologize and said they had crab claws if that worked. Guess what?! No crab claws. I mean gezz. At least make sure you have the replacement of the replacement for an item you don't have. Food wise, the bread they give you were rocks. Stale! The calamari was fried to oblivion! The beef ravioli was decent but the Alfredo sauce for the gnocchi was broken. Looked like when you warmed up Alfredo in the microwave. I was so done with the meal and wanted to leave but we talked about a cannoli all day so when I order a cannoli for dessert guess what?! NO CANNOLI! Don't go

I think I liked the parking at the old location better. Inside is nice and open with plenty of place to sit. Assortment looks to be a bit larger than at the previous location, and I appreciate the sign boards above.

I came across this gem while visiting UAB Highlands Hospital for an appointment, and what a sweet…read moresurprise it was. They had a beautiful display of treats that immediately caught my eye. Everything looked absolutely scrumptious, like you could taste the love before even taking a bite. I couldn't resist picking up a few items, including a slice of key lime cake, and let me tell you... it was to die for. Every single thing I tried was incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Now I'm on a mission to visit their actual storefront because this experience definitely left me wanting more. I also love supporting Black owned businesses, so this felt like a win all around. Sweet treats and good energy... I'll absolutely be back for more.

Over a few visits, I've tried almost everything on the menu, with my faves being the Hazelnut Cream and the Cherry Almond. Some of the options are fresh baked and still warm, but they also have frozen options if you want to stock up at home. I've tried both ways and they are always perfect!
