Normally I found that pretty cakes aren't all that delicious to eat, but that is not the case here. Wow - incredibly yummy. Our cake was red velvet and so moist and delicious.

I cannot say enough good things about this business and will gladly use them again whenever we are in Chicago!

They lived out of state for a bit and tried to replicate this specific cake from other bakeries, but it never came close. Needless to say, we had to try this one of a kind cake. Unfortunately, the last time they ordered it, somehow, it was missing one of the most important parts-the raspberry coulis! They reached out to the chef-owner and he graciously offered to make them a new cake the next time they came in. We popped into this cute bakery with a vintage flare this Sunday and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The cake was gorgeous and tasted just as great! If you're a fan of chocolate, you're about to be in heaven! Chocolate cake, raspberry preserve and chocolate mousse filling, chocolate buttercream frosting, covered in chocolate ganache. So rich, creamy, moist and decadent. A little goes a long way! The flavors and textures were perfectly balanced and the raspberry coulis made me smile with each bite. Thank you Alliance for your excellent service and delicious creations.

The open kitchen concept was fun to watch, and the gentleman at the counter was so helpful and welcoming, especially for a first-time visit. The coffee was excellent with plenty of flavor options, but the real standout was the bakery. The cheesecake was light, flavorful, and baked to perfection. And if you're a fan of banana flavor, you have to try the pudding. Such a great spot to stop while in the city friendly vibes and amazing treats.

I tried a sample of their winter bliss Buche and it was creamy and delicious.

I didn't love the graham cracker because it had a strong buttery taste, but I get that it's needed to hold it together. Without that, it would've been a 9/10. The cheesecake topping tasted almost like custard and paired well with the blueberry cupcake base. Chocolate sea salt caramel... 10/10. This might actually be one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. Rich chocolate cake, caramel sauce in the middle, buttercream that wasn't too sweet, and the salt on top tied everything together perfectly. Peach cobbler was insane. 1000/10. It tasted like pumpkin pie and apple pie combined, probably from all the cinnamon. Not overly sweet, super light cream, and just perfection. Definitely worth the hype. The chocolate sea salt caramel and peach cobbler might actually be the best cupcakes I've ever had.

They made a BEAUTIFUL cake and the pick up process was very easy. The boxed it up very nicely and she was ready to go! On top of that, she was half the price of what I was quoted from the other spots! The cake itself was tasty but I will say... the frosting was a bit of a let down. It didn't have much flavor, just kind of tasted like butter, both in terms of flavor and texture. Maybe we didn't let it sit out long enough before eating it? But... look how pretty!
