Went back to try something from the lunch menu. Wife and I shared the cuban panini and the pizza…read morehand pie. The panini was delicious and was easily enough for us to split. Interestingly, the hand pie was made with a pastry dough and wad therefore much lighter than the traditional pizza dough. Had great flavor. We took home a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun for next morning as they were on sale of 2 for 1. Both were delicious with a 20 sec nuking. I had bought the focaccia bread on my first visit. Wife made an Italian meatball with marinara and fresh mozzarella sandwich type dish with it. Was really tasty and the focaccia held up well even though it was moist and a day old. Ladies......continue the great work!!! BTW: you have to look for the place as signage is very understated and only on the building.....which looks like a house in a residential neighborhood.

I love a cinnamon roll but this was not it for me. I don't need it to be extra gooey as I love bread but this was very dry and had a slightly off taste to me- salt? There is something in the frosting or dough that just wasn't for me. The muffins were just okay. Scones a bit dry. Maybe it was an off day or I choose the wrong items. I'd go back to try the bread and maybe look to see what people recommend next time.

But the door worked and soon I was trying to decide between a nice scone selection and a chocolate chip cookie. I think there was 1 guy working there and he was more than happy to take care of us. This place still throws off an Arizmendi-like vibe, except darker and quieter. The cookie was a "tank" - thick and heavy, albeit very delicious. We didn't try the bread this time around, but maybe we has some at a local restaurant?

I ordered this cake two days before I needed it, a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. for a…read morebakery this should be a no-brainer. I was not particular with the design, I didn't care but I did not expect this low quality of aesthetics. There were large cracks on the sides of the cake. the top was a semicircle design that was not attractive and the lettering was too close to the edge. there were chunks of butter throughout the frosting that did not add to the appeal of the cake. not to mention it was two tones of brown, one tasted freezer burnt while the other was okay. the frosting on the side was just smudged like no one cared and it showed, not to mention some dents here and there. Please zoom in on this cake. The actual cake was good except for the part of frosting that tasted freezer burnt and that weird texture of bits of frozen butter... yep...

I ordered five dozen cupcakes and a 6-inch cake for an important family event. Unfortunately, the…read morecupcakes were dry, crumbly, and disappointing. Numerous guests commented on the quality, and most were left uneaten on the tables. After the event, I contacted the owner to discuss my concerns. He asked for time to investigate and stated that he would call me back after speaking with his staff. That call never came, and I ultimately had to contact the bakery again a week later. What followed was extremely disappointing. Rather than acknowledging my concerns or considering that something may have gone wrong with that particular order, the owner repeatedly insisted that the cupcakes could not have been dry because they had been made fresh. My experience, as well as the experience of my guests, was dismissed rather than acknowledged. I was not demanding anything. I simply wanted to discuss a product that failed to meet expectations and hear how the bakery intended to address the situation. Instead, the conversation became confrontational. The owner focused on defending the product rather than understanding the customer's concerns. He made comments about my guests that I found inappropriate and repeatedly implied that my account of what occurred was not credible. At one point, he even stated that he did not understand why anyone would pay $3.50 for a cupcake, despite that being the price his bakery charges. While the owner ultimately issued a refund, the refund does not change the fact that the customer service experience was deeply disappointing. Everyone makes mistakes. Products occasionally miss the mark. What matters is how a business responds when concerns are raised. I also offered to give the bakery another chance and stated that I would be willing to come back and try their products again in case this was simply a one-time issue. The owner responded by telling me that I was no longer welcome in the bakery. That response alone speaks volumes. Based on both the quality of my order and the way this matter was handled, I cannot recommend this bakery.

I attended a family function that had these cupcakes featured after dinner for dessert. They looked…read morerather decent and delectable, but that's where the appeal stopped. Having been excited for cupcakes, my son (10) took a large bite and gagged on the overwhelming dryness and hardly stifled the bite down. He refused to touch the rest. I tried as well and found them to be unbelievably dry and unable to enjoy. They were super cloyingly sweet, and driest cupcakes ever. Not a single cupcake was eaten by anyone. They were all left barely touched or thrown away. I wouldn't eat these for free at someone else's event, much less pay over $3 each for them. How terrible! I hope they learn to bake or move on to a new business.

I highly recommend this Bakery called Bright Star Bakery In Talent Oregon. I will never buy a vegan cake from any other bakery again. Not only was this a vegan cake but it was also gluten free. It was so moist. Laura you Rocked this Vegan/Gluten free cake. EVERYONE loved it. I will definitely always use Star Bright Bakery for Vegan and Gluten free. Brenda
