    a variety of baked goods

    Plenty of choices of cakes and sweets, large portions too. I think the French place has better sweets in Greenville but they always ran out. This is the same quality as Puiblix.

    $107 for this.

    I called Thursday to order a yellow cake with chocolate icing for my sister. The cake was not yellow. The bakery charged $75 for a QUARTER sheet cake. And they required immediate payment, so I gave it. About an hour later, I decided against it bc the cake was so simple and not worth that price at all. The person told me that they have a "No Refund" Policy. Because of course they do. She said the only person that could offer me a refund would be an owner called Tim. I asked when the person would be in, and her reply was just as laughable. "He's in and out." So. They can't refund a purchase an hour after it's made, and they are indifferent about even trying to help solve a customer complaint. So. I asked for it to be completed by 11. My sister arrived 15 minutes after the fact, and it was still not ready. So, I paid an egregious amount for a cake that was not what I wanted, and that was also late being finished. Case and point: if I spend $107 on a QUARTER SHEET CAKE, then the customer service and quality should compliment the pricing, and it DOES NOT. As a result, I will not be going back, and I'll be sure to leave reviews on other sites so that people know what they're getting into before they order. The cake was....okay? It was dry. The icing was fine. I'm really trying to understand how this place was rated so well, when I can go to Publix and get a quarter sheet cake for $40, get better customer service, and a better tasting cake.

    The front staff member who took our order and answered our questions was friendly enough (though she didn't seem completely fluent on the menu itself), but she had a good attitude so that heIped to some extent. I guess imagined I would have more confectionary options, and that lunch items would include freshly baked bread sort of options and so forth...so my expectations might have been set a bit too high I think. It appears this place is more for large orders delivered to local Businesses and such, because the place was quite dead at around 1:30pm on a Monday afternoon but it was clean and inviting and has promising features to it that could potentially make for a thriving business.

    Searched for a pastry slash dessert shop in town since there's no Cheesecake Factory here. Boo. This place have different flavored cakes, cupcakes, sweet bars and a beverage station - coffee, sweet tea and other drinks. We got the chocolate cake - one slice was massive for two people. Two cupcakes would have been ideal for 2 people as it wouldn't be too filling. But the cake lasted for 3 days when we took it home. Chocolate cake was moist and soft. Frosting tasted similarly to the canned frosting you can usually buy at supermarkets. Staff was friendly. Space was clean.

    There's no place in Greenville like this! It's super good and portions are generous. They have every type of sweet you can imagine and it's all fresh. once you start eating you can't stop! The location is great and the staff is very friendly.

    The FOUR dollar box.

    I have been here a few times and each time there has been an issue. The food has been good, but the first time I went the customer service was terrible. I ordered a small cake two days prior to pick up and when I arrived at the pre-appointed pick up time I had to wait another half hour. But, what has me writing this review now is the latest visit. I ordered three dozen cookies and at the time they told me $18 per dozen. Which seems extremely expensive for cookies. But, I was in desperate need for them so I decided to pay it. On the phone I was asked if I wanted a special box and I replied no. I'm just taking them to a friend's house. She said okay I'll just put them in a pink box. We hung up and that was that. 6 hours later I drop by to pick them up and they have charged me FOUR dollars extra for a pink cardboard box!!! This is on top of their already ridiculous price of $18/dozen. When I asked about them charging for the box the reply was oh I thought she told you it says pink box on the order. When I relayed my experience to her she said oh I'm sorry. With no offer the forgo the charge. Then I asked what do you put them in if not a box. And she said oh we put them in a bag. This is ridiculous. I've never heard of a store charging you for a container. They don't charge extra for the box the cake or cupcakes come in. So even though the good is fairly good I don't think I'll be returning. Which is sad, but I'm not paying almost $70 for 36 cookies & a cardboard box. I almost walked out at that point. Know your customer, clearing Connection Confection does not.

    This may be the best cake slice on the east coast. I think it's $3 to much but the taste is phenomenal

    Not a place I'd recommend. Overpriced diabetes, it'd probably taste better out your own kitchen tbh.

    I really like this place. Inside is absolutely beautiful. Their food is good and the servers are…read moreall really nice. The service can be slow since there are only a few people working there. Just be prepared to enjoy each other's company while you wait for your food which is okay. They have an outside seating area underneath the trees which is well done. I'm so glad that they have upgraded the surrounding area and this is a destination point inside of the Greenville City Limits. Don't sleep on this place since they do things correctly. Till next time.....

    I arrived about 8:30pm on 7/16/22 with my bf. They close at 9, but I already knew what I wanted…read more My good friend, Quan, is the executive chef here. This is a BOB - Black Owned Business! At night, Coffee & Spice stands out from the road due to the beautiful string lighting in the patio area. The parking lot is behind the restaurant. The sidewalk from parking lot will take to you to the patio seating if you go left and to the restaurant if you go right. Upon arrival, we asked to be seated outside because the weather was nice and I was making a call; it was a bit noisy inside. We waited outside for about 5 minutes for the waitress to come back and get seated. She brought 2 waters. After being seated, I ordered candied yams as an app. It took about 10 minutes to arrive. The candied yams, which comes on top a buttermilk biscuit, was tasty! I think my only complaint would be that there was inconsistency in taste. To add, I wish there was more bacon throughout as it really balances out the the other sweet flavors, in my opinion. Or maybe I'm just a bacon lover and wanted to have some of the bacon flavor with each bite. Nonetheless, I ended up eating it by myself bc my bf didn't like it. When I made Exec Chef Quan aware, he said others have said the same thing but opted not to because of the fat back already utilized and its essentially meant to be on the sweeter side, which I understand. Around 8:40pm, I ordered a strawberry lemon drop (alcoholic beverage) and the Crispy Turkey Wing. I got regular honey instead of the hot honey, because I'm not a fan of spicy food. My bf ordered a Mule and the Turkey wing also. The drinks came out about 5-7 min later after ordering. The strawberry lemon drop was DELIGHTFUL! My bf enjoyed his mule. The food came around 9:03pm. The Turkey wing was crispy and delicious. I think the grains that it came with needed some salt, but my bf said it's because I didn't get the sauce and the sauce added flavor. It looked nutritious and didn't taste bad. It could just be my palate, lol. We ended up going inside because of bugs, which is a part of nature and is to be expected. However, once inside, our waitress never checked on us and another waiter finished taking care of us for the evening. I will note that I did feel slightly rushed at the end. The waiter asked if he wanted dessert after he brought our boxes but he also had the bill in hand. What if I said yes? Why not wait to know for sure or ask if we're ready for the bill? To be transparent and impartial, our initial waitress was Alisha. I found out towards the end of my visit that Alisha is also one of the owners. While my experience, overall, was one of no major complaints, I did not like the lack of communication regarding who would be taking care of us. With it being the end of the night and/or having other obligations, I can understand needing to do other stuff. However, I feel it would only be "right" to say she's the owner, has things to do, and introduced the person who would taking care of us. In reflecting, she never introduced herself at all in the beginning, which should be a standard, even without mentioning that she's the owner. In my experience, owners who are present check in on customers to check in and to receive feedback, positive or negative. Nonetheless, teamwork was executed flawlessly. We never went without. Quan assisted us in the transition inside. I MUST add that another waitress, "Icy", was on point! While we were outside, I could tell she was working her ass off. I must give her praise! On Several occasions, she checked on us asking if we were good from the time we were standing waiting to be seated, all the way to bringing out our entrees. I frequently saw her running back and forth from outside to inside. Her dedication to providing the best customer service was highly exemplified! Inside, there are about 9 indoor tables plus a bar area that faces outside. The inside tables had lit candles on them them, which contributed greatly to the ambiance of the restaurant. There are two bathrooms feature barn doors and are gender neutral. Upon walking it, the aroma was pleasant. I then noticed a lit candle. One bathroom has a frame with 4 deeds on it. I inquired about the significance and Alisha stated it was the deed to the house and went on to explain the history of the home and the items on the wall. It's a great story that I recommend inquiring about! Overall, the restaurant is ravishing. I loved the decor, especially the aromas with the candles. The food was delectable. Customer service, overall, was satisfactory with teamwork being a highlight. I love that the menu changes regularly, with only a few items that remain constant. There will always be something new to try! For an app, two entrees, and two alcoholic beverages, it was about $60. If you haven't already, stop by and give them a try!
