What a charming little cafe! We have been on a roll of trying new coffee shops near us and this…read moretime it was the latte cafe! It was so fun to find it on a corner like a standalone house with a full parking lot. They also have an enclosed patio which I can only imagine would be so fun during the summer. We got the cherry cordial cold brew, and the matcha flight. The cold brew was good, it had the hints of cherries with in. I loved the matcha flight, honestly the vanilla matcha as basic as that sounds was my absolute favorite but I cannot wait to try the chai flight! For breakfast I got the caprese sandwich and my husband got the breakfast burrito and we split it. Both were great, the caprese sandwich was delish! I keep thinking to myself I need to try to make that for breakfast now because it was that good! And for our sweet treat dessert we got the carrot cake whoopie. It was good but it felt like there was too much cake to the filling ratio, I almost feel like it needed to be half the amount of cake. Overall a great experience! The staff was nice and the shop was so cute to hang out and work in! Can't wait to come back and try more.

Everything I've tried has always been great! No problems ever. The folks there are friendly and very helpful. I don't know how they do it but other breads make my stomach hurt, their bread doesn't do this nor do any of their other products. A pound of butter cookies disappears in short order, they seem to melt in one's mouth. Their cakes? They're fantastic. I'm a chocoholic who really doesn't like fruit combined with chocolate but after receiving a birthday cake with raspberry filling I'm hooked for life! The cakes are light and moist at once and the buttercream frosting has a delightfully silky feeling. I really can't say enough about this bakery. I've lived elsewhere during my lifetime and have been to different bakeries and major grocery store bakeries too and none have produced such consistently great products as Lovin' Oven!

Their culinary dream of working together has finally come true for them. The decor has been updated and they are still finishing up the inside, but felt the area was so missing the amazing treats this location offers. Trust me after speaking to them many times they will have many of the bakery well known items come back to the shelves and be ready for purchase. Whats nu e is they are offering more options and ways to make sure you're able to get that sweet tooth taken care of and soon will ha e online ordering available. I tested the cinnamon roll (I'm so gett8ng more so delicious and ate have while warm and the other half the next day, it stil lwas so good) and a cherry filled donut for my sister. I also got the jalapeño and cheese bagel yum it had the right amount of goodness and spice that I like. So stop in and have an open mind, try something new that maybe in the pastry Bakery you may have never tried.

And, the fact that they sell Holcomb Hollow goodies was awesome. But just about everything else was lacking. I found the staff behind the counter to be gruff and unpleasant. Everything moved at a snails pace; I couldn't believe that a simple cold brew coffee (black) took 10 minutes. The shop is very artistic and has a lot to take in (in terms of decor, things for sale, etc.). It was overwhelming. There is a lot of seating area and separate rooms to congregate in, but even in poking my head in to look around, I received looks that felt territorial and unwelcoming. My coffee was fine, but really nothing to write home about. Not at all interested in trying this place again.

I left with a cinnamon roll donut and a apple danish. I was loving the donut as I ate it while driving to my destination. The sweetness, texture, moistness, and cinnamon flavor was all there. I could have ate a couple more. The next day I ate the apple danish. It held up nicely a day later and wasn't all dried out. It was reminiscent of the apple danishes that McDonalds used to sell years ago, but 10x better. The apple filling was a sweet delight that i can rarely find. I really enjoyed the pastries here and everything tasted way better than they looked. If I would have known the goods were going to be great, I would have bought a lot more. To bad I won't be back out that way until next summer.

That's why we didn't hesitate to order a special two-tier TikTok-themed cake for my niece's birthday on Saturday. Unfortunately, this time was very different. After picking up the cake and heading to the party, we discovered that the cake had completely caved in. The top tier slid off the bottom tier before we even opened the box. I took pictures immediately and contacted the bakery right away. I didn't ask for a refund--I simply asked if there was anything they could do to make it right. Instead, I was told that because the cake had left the store, there was nothing they could do. I even offered to return the damaged cake. Still, the manager on duty, Mario, said he couldn't help and would pass it on to his supervisor. We left the cake with them and walked out empty-handed--no replacement, no apology, no effort to resolve the issue. We ended up going to Sam's club buying two cakes($50 total with tax), and creatively combining them to save the party. Honestly, those cakes turned out better than what we originally purchased for $150.00 from La Luz This experience was really disappointing, especially considering the loyalty and money we've given LaLuz over the years. I'm leaving this review to let others know that if something goes wrong, you may not receive the customer service you'd expect--or deserve. Needless to say, we will be taking our business elsewhere.
