Every year, Vincent and I sit down with Mario to design the cake around whatever he's into that year, and those memories alone are priceless. Mario is incredibly patient, creative, and kind with Vincent, and the cakes are always beyond amazing. Not only are they beautiful, but they are honestly the BEST tasting cakes we've had anywhere. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and high-quality -- never overly artificial or too sweet. Every single year, Mario delivers perfection, and the cake always becomes the centerpiece of the party. We are so grateful for Cake Plus and highly recommend them!

I used to go to the Linebaugh location a lot before they closed due to COVID, and I really missed…read morethem. This will be my first time coming out to this location, which is a little harder to get to than the Linebaugh location, but with a little luck and patience in the S. Dale Mabry traffic, I managed to get in. The outside of the building is quite unique and welcoming amongst the other surrounding buildings, triangle-shaped with a few cute cafe chairs outside. I got my order to go, but I did marvel at the adorable inside of the shop with more cafe tables that look homey and inviting. The lady behind the counter was nice and greeted with upon arrival, and was patient as I perused my selection. My favorite cupcake of theirs, the mocha cupcake, wasn't there, so I had to stop and REALLY look at the other choices in front of me, WHICH WERE A LOT and it was hard to really zero in on what I'd like. I noticed the poundcakes behind the case and immediately thought, maybe I'd try those instead of the cupcakes. They're a decent size, and I've never had them before, and the flavors intrigued me. I selected a coconut rum poundcake since it is coconut cake versus plain butter like the others and was feeling like coconut. I added the packaged cookies behind the case as well. I remember how great the cookies were, and though the selection wasn't what I remembered from the last shop, I still found what I'd like. I was not disappointed with either selection. The cookies were mildly sweet and I could really appreciate the almond flavoring in it, soft, buttery, and kinda crisp around the edges but dense in the middle like a very delicious shortbread. The sprinkles added a nice whimsical touch. And man, am I glad I went with something different. The poundcake was quite heavy and big, and for a moment, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it (imagine that!), but NO. The heaviness is from the rum it's soaked in. The cake itself is very soft and buttery, with a delicate taste of rum and coconut. I enjoyed the coconut icing with flaked coconuts on top for an additional touch of sweetness. They do allow my Muffin there in her carriage, so I would definitely have to come back for a cupcake and latte (or of course, the poundcake).

Since I am cupcake obsessed, getting one of the funfetti cupcakes with sprinkles was the obvious choice. I also indulged in one of their cookies, called Pecan Pennies, since it was their special recipe of pecan and brown sugar. They have an extensive drink menu, but I did not try any. Small cupcake and small cookie came to $11, which seemed high for what it was. The cupcake was good, with a super soft frosting which I loved. She had gone in the back and brought up a just-made cupcake for me, and it did taste super fresh. The cookie, while good, actually had a bit of a stale aftertaste, which was unfortunate. I would definitely drop by here again - easy bakery to pop in and out of.

So happy to see Alessi's new location opened and it is so beautiful…read more Plenty of seating and food options. When I visited it was later in the day so I missed out on sandwiches and hot foods but was able to get some delicious treats. The only problem I had was making a decision because they have so many bakery's items. After about five minutes, I made a decision on cupcakes and cannolis. Everything we got was delicious. The cookie dough was great. The orange Dreamcicle had the perfect flavor and was very moist. Can't wait to visit again soon.

I have been going to the original location for decades. I ordered a large Cuban sandwich all the way. When I got home it had no lettuce and tomato. It wasn't even a 12" sandwich for approximately $16. And the bread was more of a sub bread than Cuban bread. It's not what is expected when you place that kind of order. Price and quality are not going in the right direction. Not sure if all the money spent on the new location has any bearing on this outcome but it's hard to believe there is no correlation. Sad to say but for a place I've been going most of my life in Tampa it may be the last if this is the new product.

Absolutely recommend. 20/10 no notes!!!…read more Tucked into a plaza, I've seen this spot so many times and finally was able to check it out. The inside is a decent size with tables, cute decor and lots of plants. When I first walked in, I was taken back by how beautiful the pastry display cases were!! I had the hardest time choosing which pastry to get because they all looked like works of art!! Super friendly staff, great service but now to get to the goods: the coffee and pasties. This is a true authentic French bakery, no doubt in my mind. The iced salted caramel latte is the best I have EVER had. I could taste every flavor and it blended with the coffee perfectly. The ham and cheese croissant was so flakey, the perfect ham ratio and just all around fantastic. The pastry I got had raspberry jam and white chocolate ganache (I don't remember the name of it) and it was seriously the best pastry I've ever had. Most pastries can be too sweet, but this was just right. The jam tasted fresh and homemade (probably is!) and the white chocolate ganache gave it just a touch of sweetness. It is a little pricey so be warned: $48 for two coffees and two pastries. Definitely worth a splurge!!

The space is quaint, modern but inviting. The pastries are truly the star of the show. I stopped in around 4 PM and parking was easy to find. The service was also excellent. The person behind the counter was very welcoming and even helped recommend pastries based on our palate preferences, which made the experience feel more personal and thoughtful. What I ordered: two pastries, the strawberry Japanese cheesecake and the goat cheese carrot cake. The strawberry Japanese cheesecake ($15) was a perfect balance of fruity freshness and caramelized richness with a creamy finish. It was not overly sweet and the fruit and cream notes really stood out in every bite. The goat cheese carrot cake ($16) was my favorite. I would go back just for this. It was moist, rich, and had a tangy goat cheese filling that created a very creamy, complex flavor profile. So delicious. The prices are on the steeper side but I love a baker who knows their worth. Totally worth it for the quality.
