Nice little bakery nestled by the train tracks in St James on Lake Avenue. The renovation really…read moreopened up the space and made the entrance more inviting. However it's hit or miss purchasing Kaiser rolls. It's amazing how quickly they "sell" out by 11am while there are plenty of plain and sesame seed rolls left to purchase. Additionally the size of the rolls had gotten smaller while the price keeps increasing now $1.00 a roll half the size of a roll from other bakeries and deli's. Apple turnovers are very good but again expensive ( flour going up I guess). Staff always friendly and welcoming but I wish someone would run numbers on roll sales so there'd be some Kaiser rolls left to purchase. Varied selection of cookies, pastries and pies and there's a coffee station for those needing a caffeine fix.

First time here and looking for the best sweet treat. Coming here towards the end of the day is…read morenot the best as many of their items are gone. With an ideal location across the street from the St James train station, I can understand why doughnuts and muffins would be gone. Smart! We picked up eclairs, Napoleons, cream puffs and cannolis to go. The black and white cookie looked really good so we'll come back for that as I'm always on the hunt for the best. The cannoli is a small size and has a distinctive nutmeg flavor. I am not crazy about the green sprinkles though. Crunchy though. The eclair is filled with a custard and the chocolate was discolored. Not sure why. It was okay. I have had the Napoleon or cream puff yet so we will see how they hold up the next day. The store has a nice variety of goodies including decorated cakes, cookies and breads so please give them a try.

The owner was rude and dismissive when I asked for refund of the profit she made. I really really suggest you go somewhere else. The fact they treat your wedding day like just another day, no care, no love, nothing but disappointment, disrespect, and distain if they screw up and you'd like it to be corrected. Rolling Pin is awful in all aspects. DO NOT ORDER ANY CAKE FROM THEM!!!!!

I stumbled upon the Instagram for this online cake donut business run by a woman named Chana, and…read morehad been wanting to order for months. I was so enticed by the whimsical, atypical flavors and the bright saturated colors. I finally ordered the 5 pack and chose these flavors: 'Cotton Candy', 'Strawberry Crumb', 'Chocolate Banana', 'American Dreamsicle' and 'Italian Rainbow Cookie'. I loved the way each donut was wrapped in plastic and placed so intentionally in its packaging - a sleek gold-colored box with a sticker bearing her logo (a 'C' for Chana that doubles as a donut with purple frosting on it and sprinkles). My boyfriend and I did a "tasting" together trying small ¼ pieces of each flavor. The 'Cotton Candy' (pink frosting with swirls of blue) had a subtle cotton candy flavor but was very sweet, the 'Strawberry Crumb' (bright red) was tart, delicious and one of my favorites. The 'Rainbow Italian Cookie' (covered in tiny green, red & white sprinkles) tasted just like the real cookie; so enjoyable with a pronounced almond flavor. The 'American Deamsicle' (covered in blue, red & white round sprinkles) tasted like orange and was pretty good. My absolute favorite was the 'Chocolate Banana' (a striking yellow with brown swirls), which had a more tolerable sweetness than the others. Overall, I enjoyed the donuts: the taste, the uniqueness and the colors. My only feedback is that I would like the donuts less sweet, so it is easier to eat a whole donut. I would rate Chana's Donuts 3.8 out of 5 stars, and I would definitely order again to try new flavors, or to get the 'Chocolate Banana' or 'Strawberry Crumb' flavors again :)

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience because of the lack of…read morecommunication and professionalism. On August 3, I visited Dortoni Bakery with my wife and daughter to order a custom smash cake for my daughter's first birthday on August 6. I spoke with a blonde female associate, who told me the bakery would be able to have the cake ready in time. She also told me that someone would call me the following day to confirm the details. I never received that phone call. Instead, an email was sent at 8:58 a.m. requesting information that I had already provided in person the day before. I didn't see the email until later that evening, so I called the bakery to confirm the details. At that point, I was told they would not be able to make the cake after all because they require a minimum of four days' notice. Had I been told that on August 3, I would have simply made other arrangements. Instead, I was assured the order would be completed, only to learn a day later that it could not. As a result, I was left scrambling to find a smash cake with only one day before my daughter's first birthday. Mistakes happen, but clear and accurate communication is essential--especially when customers are planning important family milestones. This experience left me very disappointed, and unfortunately I cannot recommend this bakery based on how this situation was handled.

It was their IG post inviting followers to come down and grab a free slice of their vintage meringue cake that made me come to their storefront realization. That aside, this cute little cookie shop specializing in macarons, cookies, tarts and cakes. Upon entering, it's got a very warm, welcoming vibe. The friendly owner was there creating a beautiful masterpiece and happy to chat answering my questions about their menu. Everything looked so beautiful. I was given my free slice of vintage meringue cake and I purchased two macarons. I got creme brûlée and white chocolate raspberry. They were both yummy. I'll be honest in that little treats are a bit pricey for my everyday budget, but I can see splurging for special occasions. I would also consider ordering a cake for a special occasion. Their presentation is on point.
