I love that they're constantly switching up the coffee menu, so there's always something new and fun to try. It's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot, which makes it perfect for a quick pick-me-up, but they also have the cutest little outdoor seating area if you want to sit down and enjoy your goodies. Since it's attached to the Cassis restaurant, everything always tastes so fresh, and I'm consistently treated so kindly by the staff. Such a sweet little St. Pete gem!

Tom Terrific here with another honest review…read more I could not get waited on at the Birchwood Canopy so I searched for a place to eat elsewhere. I came up Cassis Market advertising pizza so I popped in and ordered on with pepperoni, sausage and ham. One slice came to nearly $7. The man behind the counter was polite but uninterested. He looked like he wished he could be anywhere but there. I took my pizza out to eat at their outside table. I took a bite. Man was it stiff. And that was at the point where it's usually the best part. I kept eating and crunching. No moisture at all. Some flavor but not enough to justify the cost or enduring the hardness. The ham was hard. The pepperoni was all curled up and looked overcooked. The sausage was just OK. I was hungry but I left half of it and threw it in the trash. It sat in my stomach like I had swallowed an anvil. Now I must say I selected this from a whole pizza in the display case. It was not a piece that had been lingering there for a long time. My slice was the first slice from the pie so I was taken aback by it's texture and hardness. Cassis Market - NOT recommended.

They're super dense and rich so we got full fairly quickly, but that just meant we got to save some for day two. I tried both the brookie and the s'mores bar and the s'mores was my preferred!

Parking is a bit tricky because the place is so packed with shoppers and diners. My dining companion, and I found a side street a few blocks away with street parking. I cannot adequately describe the quantity of Italian products in this store/bakery/wine, and cheese shop. There are so much to look at you will probably feel like you're on sensory overload. Take a ticket for the bakery counter. Take a ticket for the deli counter. Order a sandwich and baked goods to enjoy in the covered dining area outside the front of the store. I don't I don't a companion and I visited on a Saturday afternoon at an hour with considered post lunch rush. We were so wrong. The place is packed! Shoppers of all sorts are picking up weekly groceries, baked goods, deli items, cheese, wine, candies, and any manner of specialty product products. Despite the long lines to pick up bakery items or deli items, the line to check out, moves very swiftly. The majority of people seem to know how the place functions and what order to pick up things to check out in the most swift fashion without having to backtrack. On our next visit, we will have a better sense of what the routine is. I highly recommend a visit to the store if you're in the area, and save room for a bakery item!

We found Baked in the Burg looking for Maddie's Cakes on Google Maps. Immediately, we realized that…read morethis was not the business we'd looked at online, but decided to give it a try. To start, Maddie's Cakes indicated that it opened at 5pm, leading us to believe that it serviced the late-night coffee-and-pastries crowd. Baked in the Burg opens at 10am and closes at 7pm, and has a very different vibe than what we were expecting. The pastries are definitely meant to be the star of the show, but they were mislabeled (labeled as chocolate pistachio but only chocolate was available), and the baristas knew very little about the product. Speaking of the baristas, although they were very friendly, they clearly were woefully lacking in training. I ordered a chai tea, and one of the baristas asked the other, "Do you know how to make that?" Additionally, my mom ordered a coffee, and when she asked if the brew coffee sitting on the hot plate was fresh, the barista answered, "It was made this morning [seven hours prior to our visit], but it's been on the hot plate." My mom had to ask for a fresh pot to be made, because apparently no one told these poor girls how disgusting coffee is after seven hours on a hot plate. To their credit, though, they were extremely friendly and accommodating, and did their best to answer all of our questions. I just think they need more training. As far as the pastries are concerned, we were so disappointed that we ended up going to Sorrento Sweets right up the street. Skip Baked in the Burg and head to Sorrento's if you want a high-quality bakery experience.

The donut overall was really good definitely a little bit of a denser donut but good flavor. The icing is very thin and definitely melts off quickly, especially in the Florida heat. We took ours home to eat later and a lot of the icing had already melted it off, even though we had it inside in air-conditioning the entire time.
