Levain Bakery is rightfully famous for its massive cookies, although it is quite pricey…read more There was a constant flow of customers, so it was a bit difficult to choose from the beautiful display of desserts. There were a few seasonal items that captured a spring aesthetic. Everything was packed well and we were out quickly. *Carrot Cake: one of their seasonal offerings and my favorite of the bunch. It was not the moistest cookie, but it tasted the most balanced. There was a subtle sweetness, although I would have loved to see more elements of a traditional carrot cake highlighted, such as raisins or warm spices. *Cherry Scone: reflective of the fleeting cherry blossom season. My party was split on the texture, with some disliking how dense and heavy it tasted. I personally did not find it dry or overly crumbly. The cherry flavor was light, and it colored the dough nicely and paired well with a darker beverage. *Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip: subtle coconut shavings with barely noticeable caramel. The chocolate chips were by far the most dominant ingredient and flavor. Apparently one of their classic flavors, but it was my least favorite. I was actually more impressed by their seasonal offerings, which is disappointing since those rotate out. Their classics are popular for a reason, but they do not feel refined enough to justify the pricing compared to other bakeries. I would not mind splitting a cookie with a friend, although I would not go out of my way for one.

I finally got to try Levain Bakery! It is a small shop, and it could be crowded. The service was…read morenice. I had to order the chocolate chip and walnut cookie and coffee sour cream loaf. My cookie was not served warm so I waited till home. Cookie is nice and big, definitely good....but it is not exceptional enough, especially for the price of $6. Coffee sour cream loaf was also good. Again nothing so special, but satisfying. Overall, it is a good bakery for sure....little overpriced and overhyped. If I was in the area, I would try them again....but I would not go out of my way.

This was our dessert spot before we parted ways after our monthly family outing (Sun., 7/12/26)…read more NOTHING but praise for The Baked Bear. Cute, trendy, clean establishment in a family friendly, safe area. We enjoyed every bit of our orders. No complaints about the service. I was sooo impressed, I even bought a t-shirt. Check out my pics. Put it on your bucket list. LMK what YOU think and when you go, tell them you saw it on Yelp!

If you have an extreme sweet tooth and love ice cream, this is the spot!!! Situated in Pike & Rose,…read morethis is the perfect after dinner sweet treat! Known for the build your own ice cream sandwich, it offers a variety of ways to enjoy your sweet treat. You can build a sandwich with the cookie of choice, have your ice cream via a bowl with cookie or brownie, or go for a classic waffle cone. Once you choose your preference and flavors, they allow you to add additional toppings such as heath bar crumbles, hot caramel and more. The first time I went I got a cookie sandwich with caramel. It was wayyyyy too rich and sweet for me but very enjoyable. The second time I went I got classic waffle cone with caramel pretzel fudge ice cream (which is now my go-to). There's not a time when I go that the service is lacking. The staff is consistently friendly. They also have drink options to wash down all the sugar. Inside, There are only 2 dine In tables, however, they do offer bar like seating inside and bar seating and dining tables to enjoy your treat outside (weather permitting). I definitely recommend this spot. Who doesn't love ice cream?! Welcoming for all ages and demographics, the experience is always good when I go. And service is always quick! Recommend!

Checked out Breads Unlimited for the first time today. I ordered the breakfast burrito and three…read moredonuts. I used the kiosk to order my burrito and appreciated the option of using the kiosk. It's nice for days I'm not feeling social. The service here is fantastic. The ladies that helped me select my donuts were very helpful. I ordered the Boston cream, glazed and maple pecan croissant. I love Boston cream donuts and was so happy to see they had some. It was delicious. The cream was perfect, the dough was soft, my one suggestion is perhaps a bit more chocolate on top? But, that's just because I love chocolate. lol so many places don't do the cream well and make it like frosting, so the fact that theirs was perfect made my day. I also tried the maple pecan croissant and it's so good. It tastes like fall. Very aromatic, the pecan filling is spiced so well and the maple compliments it well. The bread was soft and flaky. Onto the burritos, I ordered mine with bacon and added sausage and nixed the jalapeños. It was great. The chipotle mayo inside was amazing. It was so chipotle forward but wasn't spicy at all. It made a typical breakfast burrito special and I wish I ordered more on the side. I'll definitely be back to try more donuts, pastries and for another burrito with extra chipotle mayo.

They share a parking lot with Johnson's garden center which was really bustling on a beautiful day. There were so many tempting treats to choose from. I ended up purchasing a Cronut which was so fresh and delicious. The inside was tender. I've had one from a different bakery that was not too fresh. I plan to return soon. Maybe when the farmers' market next door is operating. I'm happy to have another bakery option near my home.

Ordered delivery. It's nice that this place stays open late for desserts…read more Ordered lemon, heath bar, and one chocolate chunk cookie. Most of the cookies were huge. The chocolate chunk cookie was overbaked to the point of tasting & looking burned. The lemon cookies smelled like lemon but did not taste like lemon. I couldn't tell the difference between the taste of the lemon, Heath bar, or chocolate chunk cookies. I had Covid back last May, 2022 & I may have altered taste side effects but my husband also said he could not discern the taste of the cookies. One thing about the cookies is that they were undercooked because the sugar and fat did not caramelize and so the cookie tasted very dense, and not crunchy or crumbly. I won't be purchasing again. The cookies cost me about $2 each.

I'm giving one star because the cake looked nice visually. I ordered a "red velvet" cake for my…read moresister's graduation, and Babe! nothing about it tasted like red velvet. I am really disappointed because by the way the cake looked, I expected it to taste just as good. Unfortunately, it was completely the opposite. The frosting had almost no flavor at all, and the cake itself tasted like nothing. flavorless. Im not even kidding. There is no flavor. This was honestly one of the worst cakes I've had. Maybe it's the quality of the ingredients they use, but you can taste the lack of quality from the very first bite. Definitely not what I expected. Will not be returning

The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, they exemplify what good customer service looks like.
