Well I haven't been there for a couple of years. Really hungry as I had eaten nothing all day. I…read more took a train went downtown and did something. Coming back got off the train had a hankering for a little chocolate. I see they had pumpkin, I tried the pumpkin and it was extremely thick dough with heavy icing and it did not taste that pumpkin. it tasted more clove than anything else and it was really thick dough which I do not care for. I also asked for an angel cream eclair as this was the place where I had discovered them years ago. Again, really thick donut . I do not like those. But the kicker for me is it had a little bit of white frosting on the top in like a small pattern and I took a bite into the inside... It was custard. That is like a regular long John or perhaps a Boston cream. I told the girl what I wanted and this was not an angel cream eclair so I can now say I am officially and finally done forever with this place. The quality of the donuts was not that good, and they didn't give me what I asked for and she repeated it and I'm officially done. DO NOT GO HERE!

I got most of the PB & J donut for me and for work but I was also able to try the banana pudding donut which was excellent! You really can't go wrong with any of their flavors. It's a yeast donut and it's so soft and fluffy.

First time here. Amazing customer service and a variety of donuts and other pastries to match. I…read more tried the double chocolate, the German chocolate and the old-fashioned glazed donuts. Not overly sweet not greasy. I I will be back tomorrow for another dozen.

Normally I don't have time to write reviews on places and just move on, but this situation had to…read morebe vocalized. I ordered 150 munchkins to bring to a baby shower 6 days in advance! Well this morning (as I was getting ready to go pick them up) I get a phone call saying "we don't have enough glazed to fulfill your order". Ok well can you make some I can come in an hour or two. The "manager" said we have everything in your order other than 50 glazed so no you can come get the donuts or just forget it . ABSOLUTELY NO APOLOGY! so I went up there to pick up the 73 munchkins (I ordered 150!) and asked what happened what went wrong ? It's such a simple order? And the manager, point blank, told me it was the bakers fault and she came in late! Her exact words were . " you don't have to take them I can sell them to someone else" mmmmm I didn't just drive up here not to get them, but I am very upset that you are not professional and nor apologetic for YOUR MISTAKE! you're the manager you blamed the baker and everyone else, you even blamed me for coming to pick up an incomplete order- actually comical. So all in all - some customer service training should be implemented, other customers were in the store just shaking their heads because of the way she spoke to me! The donuts taste great but the customer service left a bad taste in my mouth.

Has quite the unique selection of pretty much anywhere. The quality varies. It mostly seems like a bar. Pastries and treats in the bakery area seem like an afterthought to be honest. These aren't good at all in quality. Basically it's night from a store bakery. Then they bring these here to resell these. A good deal is a shot of any liquor. It's $3 or so for one. They have a pretty big variety. It's surprising because there's not much room in here. They really do have a lot. Has live music a few times a week it seems so go see when there's a free concert. It's a good way to get attention to a local business and help them a lot.

I wanted to write a review because I worked here for about a month before being suddenly fired…read more The owner is nice, but her husband, who manages everything, created a very uncomfortable work environment. He frequently brought up politics, demographics, and "statistics" at work in ways that felt inappropriate and often came across as biased. It wasn't the kind of environment I expected from a workplace. I personally chose not to engage with these conversations because I was there to work, and I try to keep my personal beliefs separate from my workplace. However, being repeatedly exposed to these types of comments from management made the environment feel unprofessional. I also noticed that he would tell us certain employees had quit, but after speaking with those employees, I learned that was not always what happened. This made me feel like there was a lack of honesty and transparency in how situations were handled. One comment that really stuck with me was when he told me and another young female employee that we'd be prettier if we spoke more intelligently and that men would like us more. We are both very young girls, and that comment was incredibly inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. I was also told that if I came in early every day, I would receive a $1 raise. I did exactly that, and I received the raise on my final paycheck. Just a few days later, I was fired. It was confusing to be recognized with a raise and then immediately let go without being given a meaningful explanation. I was told I was being fired because I supposedly had an attitude with a customer. When I asked what had happened, I wasn't given a clear explanation and was simply told they had decided not to continue my employment. I work hard, take my jobs seriously, and I rarely leave negative reviews because I know everyone is trying their best. I didn't contact them afterward because I felt I had already been treated disrespectfully. After the way I was spoken to and the lack of honest communication, I didn't feel another conversation would have changed anything. As a customer, I also found the food to be average, especially for the price. Before I even worked here, my mom and I had cheesecake from the café on a few different occasions, and every time it had a noticeable freezer-burn taste. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality. Based on my experience as both an employee and a customer, I would encourage people to support another family-owned café instead.

So I made the mistake of heading over here the day before Christmas Eve. I wanted to just pick up…read moresome cupcakes for the holiday to try out this "new" place I've heard so much about. Turns out, that everyone had the same idea, since the shop was closed Monday and Tuesday and that Wednesday was the first day back. I couldn't make it in time for opening, but about 90 minutes in; such a line!! I waited outside for 45 minutes, braving the cold winds as CDC guidelines only allow one guest in the tiny shop at a time. People were coming out with bags and bags of Hot Chocolate Bombs. When I made it into the store, that was obviously the main draw, although I did manage to take a couple cupcakes home, too. I scored two mint and two regular, both were filled with marshmallows. As I now was crazy intrigued at this entire fad, it definitely became the excitement of this more mundane holiday season. They were delicious (as were the cupcakes). Pro tip: follow the Cupcakery on Facebook. You'll not only know when there will be HCBs but also how many so you know how early to arrive to score some. They'll be making them as long as it remains cold out! Definitely worth the wait.
