Our guests can't stop talking about the desserts!! We really struggled to find an option within our…read morebudget that allowed us to purchase a simple 2-tier cake. Most options require a minimum of a 3-tier with 200 plain cupcakes at $800+. Before finding Continental Pastries & Delicatessen, we were deeply disappointed in our cake tasting experiences (some costing $50 for 4 small bites of cake) and worried we may need to settle. Patty (aka Patty Cakes) was such a joy to work with during our tasting and did an amazing job at explaining all of their capabilities. We were able to purchase a 2-tier wedding cake and a variety of dessert options so every guest had something to enjoy. This included cupcakes with filling, cookies, brownies, GF options, cheesecakes, butter cookies, and so much more! The detail of our wedding cake was MUCH simpler than expected... but still looked nice in the end. We loved the location and friendly staff; we can't wait to live closer and enjoy the desserts more often!

We given this bakery three different tries over the last two years. Each time we've been…read moredisappointed. Items in the bakery cases look good but they just don't taste of being freshly baked. Today was the last time we will visit. We bought a couple peanut butter cheesecake bites, a few cannolis and a cream puff. We expected the cream on the top of the cheesecakes to be soft and fluffy. It was hard. The cream puff shell was dry. The cannoli weren't filled completely and the filling was just not appetizing. We really wanted to rave about this bakery but just can't. I see so many great reviews here and on Google about their wedding/birthday cakes so maybe their fresh baked items are better.

I'm going to start with a positive. Their cupcakes and cookies are really good. That's why we had…read morethem make the cake for my mom's funeral luncheon. We ordered three sheet cakes. They were all very stiff with a rubbery texture. Maybe they froze them before they cooled. I'm not sure, but they were very hard to chew. The icing wouldn't stay on the cakes either. Our guests took one or two bites and that's about it. We've never thrown out so much cake. So embarrassing.

Mom choice and dad choice. Both were very delicious. My favorite was dad choice.

The mom choice was vanilla cake topped with milk chocolate and oreo frosting. Vety good and fresh. I will come here again for sure. I don't think you can get enough of those cakes.

Amidst a pandemic that's crippled and closed so many small businesses, in Kalamazoo's Edison…read moreNeighborhood, a vibrant pink cupcake logo on a cute circular signed popped up on Portage Street, and a micro business designed to help feed the homeless in our community began not just to survive but thrive. Did I mention it was founded by a 15-year-old? Following her social media posts this summer and seeing this young entrepreneur's beaming smile and oh-so-instagrammable baked goods was one of those little things that helped fill my cup back up in a year so determined to empty it. When I picked up my first cupcake order this week, I had the opportunity to meet the owner, her tech wizard mother, and her loyal friend and coworker Arianna. Got goosebumps upon goosebumps hearing her story and her mission. Layla said the idea coalesced when she was brainstorming a business plan for a fourth grade economics project, and she decided not only was she going to pursue it, she wasn't going to wait until she was an adult to do so. She loved baking and it was incredibly important to her to help those less fortunate, so a bakery whose proceeds would help the homeless and nonprofits in our community was what she wanted to do. And she did! If you they aren't bananas busy when you stop in (and they probably will be -- the phone was ringing pretty constantly this week since they'd announced on social media that they had a few extra cupcakes available for pick-up that day), do be sure to take a moment chat with them and their enthusiasm for baking and their commitment to community. And then ... bite into your cupcake. And sigh out loud. Just the right amount of moisture without being too heavy. Silky icing applied in Goldilocks-just-right quantities. Baked in small batches with love. They've been offering quite a few vegan treats in the last few weeks, so I absolutely wanted to give those a try and was supremely impressed. The texture of my Spiced Caramel Apple cupcake was nearly the same as a regular cupcake made with egg, and the flavor infused by including apple cider and applesauce into the mix was incredible. I'm widely known in my friend group for my sublime spice cake -- I'm going to have to hope none of my friends try these because they're bomb.com and sooooo much better than my spice cake. So much so that I'm planning to try adding some cider to the recipe next time. I also was able to try one of the "Mom's Favorite" -- yellow cupcake with chocolate frosting topped with cookie crumbles. Mom's got fabulous taste, and an even more amazing kid! Patrons can visit the website early in the week (place your order Monday or Tuesday) and pick up their treats on Fridays. During the summer, the pick-up hours were 10 am to 2 pm but during the school year they're now 3 - 6 pm. Hours are expected to expand in October with Wednesday and Thursday hours being added. You can go inside to get your items (there's no street parking on that block but there's a complimentary lot behind the building that can be accessed from either of the neighboring side streets), or pull up to one of the pick-up signs (labeled #1 and #2) and call into the store to have your order delivered to your car. In addition to the weekly specials available for pick-up orders, the business also accepts special orders for parties and events. Items available for special order include cake pops, pretzel sticks, rice crispie treats (loaded with toppings or plain), brownies (loaded or plain), cupcakes, and specialty cupcakes (gluten-free or vegan).

They do accept cash but it isn't overly evident and we had to ask as there was nobody at the register designated for cash. There are 2 registers for debit/credit cards and one for cash. I ordered a chocolate milk and one of their branded cookie cutters to cut their cookies into 4 even pieces (my total was $6.98 for those 2 things). Employees were friendly, but a touch sassy- as in the cash register person seemed annoyed we needed him to register. Cookies were delicious and I'm glad we got the ones we did. We got two semi-sweet chocolate chunk cookies, a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and an Oreo birthday cake cookie. All of them were tasty but I do love me some chocolate chip cookies with milk so I'd probably order that again if I only ordered one cookie. Definitely would recommend stopping by.
