This was my second time coming to this establishment and once I saw the Dubai Crossiant, I knew I…read morehad to have it!! It was everything I dreamed it to be and more. I loved the way the pistachio cream on the inside leaked out as I was eating away. The chef was so patient with me as I ordered my food, as I had to make a choice. My daughter went with the Dubai strawberry cup. I thoroughly enjoyed my dish, however she wasn't a fan of the Dubai cup. I knew she wouldn't be! She likes melted chocolate and the chocolate on these strawberries was already hardened. As always the asthetics of this place is wonderful. It is full of soft pink colors and flowers, truly picture worthy. I can't wait to return to see what other new items they have on display.

This place is absolutely amazing! A short drive from Louisville and totally worth it!!…read more Inside is super cute! Lots of light, pink, and flowers. They have so much variety! Tons of types of croissants, cookies, cakes, tarts, and more! They have lots of seasonal flavors. Everything is crafted beautifully--it's a work of art. We only tried 2 items and drinks. Prices may seem high, but they're totally worth it for the flavor and beauty. We could not get over how tasty the blackberry tart was. It had the perfect amount of sweet, salty, and tart! Every bite was heaven. We also got a triple berry croissant. It was stuffed with berries and cream. Very beautiful and delish! My only complaint is that they don't have prices listed in the store. That may be a good thing though because I could buy the whole store lol. You can order online and see prices there.

I'm a big fan of Glow Worm Play Cafe. For so many reasons. Perhaps one of the most unacknowledged…read moreperks of Glow Worm is that it's attached to Staggeringly Delicious. One of the biggest misconceptions I've encountered in conversation about Glow Worm is that people don't realize that while being incredibly convenient for Glow Worm customers, Staggeringly Delicious is an entirely separate establishment. You don't need to be at the play cafe to get some of what truly is staggeringly delicious. The chocolate chip cookies, arguably the best in the city, seem to be one of the best kept secrets in Louisville. They're made with brown butter, triple chocolate, and topped with just the right amount of sea salt. I'm a big fan of blueberry and lemon desserts, but everything everyone else does, well...they just seems to do better. Their frittatas are phenomenal. It seems like pretzel buns are becoming more and more popular, but having them made fresh is just superior. The breakfast panini and turkey panini are crunchy, gooey, savory, and hit the spot every single time. Every time I order, I'm satisfied. It's consistent. It's affordable. I don't feel guilty when I eat there. I don't feel guilty when I feed it to my family. Sadly, that's becoming hard to come by. If you're near the Highlands and you're jonesing for a simple lunch or a treat, put this place on your radar. Don't be dissuaded by the play cafe sign out front. The play cafe is absolutely second-to-none, but you don't need a kid or play date to enjoy Staggeringly Delicious.

Emily is not only kind, but she is a true visionary when it comes to cakes and cookies! She is…read moreprofessional, Timely, and just all-around a great Businesswoman! We have ordered cookies from her for a housewarming gift, and didn't have a clue as to what to get. Well it was Emily to the rescue! She had the idea to do cookies in the shape of keys, and also a front door with a wreath on it!! Since I'm not very creative, she was able to just put it ALL together (even the colors!) for me just right off the bat!! They couldn't have been more adorable, and everyone loved their sugar cookies; I felt like the hero all night, and I didn't even do anything but buy them, haha! We'd also gotten a simple cake from Emily a couple years ago for my friend's first birthday party. It was only about 10 people, so my friend didn't want anything over-the-top; she just wanted a really small cake that would be cute for pics. My friend's dad had passed away right before this, and he was a fireman, so Emily created the perfect little cake, designed perfectly for her little guy. On top of that, it was chocolate and delicious!! We've also gotten her holiday cookies-- she sells out SUPER quickly, so make sure you place an order in time! We missed out one year because we waited until the last minute. They're the cutest things I've ever seen!! We will ALWAYS be patronizing Emily, and we feel lucky to have our "own dessert chef" from now on! (Haha, sounds silly, but Emily has made us feel like family! ) I'm going to come back to add pics / edit if I can.. I don't have them toward the front of my phone and it could take hours to find them, but I will eventually!! Thank you Emily Wheeler Custom Cakes- you've made our lives so much sweeter!!

She did my best friend's wedding as well, both themes very different, but both turned out amazing! She was such a pleasure to work with. We kept in touch throughout my planning process and she easily made adjustments, and worked with our budget! My sweet table consisted of customized sugar cookies, cake pops, and lemon bars, as well as other assorted candies to tie in with my pastel color theme (light blue, pale pink, and peach). She supplied everything! Cake stands, candy jars, scoopers etc! It turned out wonderful! My guests still rave about the cake pops! I highly recommend her!

I'm not even a sweets person, so when I tell you Cinnaholic got me, they GOT me. The Caramel Apple…read morePie Roll was ridiculous. Warm cinnamon roll loaded with apples, caramel, and all the toppings; sweet without making me regret every decision I've ever made. Everything I tried was great, which is saying a lot coming from somebody who will choose savory over dessert every single time. If you have a serious sweet tooth, you're probably going to lose your mind in here. And apparently even if you don't, they might convert you. Palate don't lie. ‍

I don't typically review national chain restaurants, however Cinnaholic is different for reasons…read moreyou shall soon understand, so I'm making an exception. 1. VEGAN CINNAMON ROLLS. Any place that highlights plant based nutrition deserves to be encouraged. 2. Transparent nutrition information, including detailed ingredient lists available on their website. 3. The local Louisville franchise is owned and operated by Dion and Sean Roberson, and their attention to detail and customer service is truly exceptional. Every time I've interacted with them (and their staff) I have felt welcomed and valued. 4. Ability to customize: craving a cinnamon roll with peanut butter frosting, topped with bananas, pecans, and strawberry jam? You can create it. If you'd rather order from the signature menu that's available as well. 5. They have more than cinnamon rolls; additional offerings include brownies, cookies, cookie dough, baby buns, and cakes (cinnacake, coffee cake, and cookie cake). 6. It's just delicious (my non-vegan dining companion agrees). Although vegan does NOT mean healthy/nutritious (these still contain sugar, white flour, and oils), everyone needs a treat every now and then and Cinnaholic is a very good place to find one.

This wonderful boutique bakery is located on Main Street in the historic district of Middletown,…read moreand is housed in a building that is over 100 years old (it used to house a bank). The bakery is co-owned by a local mother-daughter team! They make beautiful wedding cakes (a couple were there doing cake testings and creating their desired cake while we visited). The cake and frosting options looked amazing. In addition to wedding cakes they take orders for cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and a variety of pastries. Orders can be made in person or online. There are delightful servings of pastries (macaroons, cinnamon rolls, scones, tarts, cake slices and more) for sale in the shop. They also serve coffee, hot chocolate and cold drinks. My husband and I shared a slice of carrot cake and it was so moist and delicious. It was reminiscent of my grandmother's carrot cake that I enjoyed years ago. I suggest going early for the best selection, they sell out quickly! There are several seating areas if one chooses to eat in the shop and the space is decorated simply and elegantly. The baked goods take center stage! In addition, the bakery offers workshops and classes about cake decorating and more. Classes are offered for beginner level and for those with more experience. The space can be rented for bridal showers, baby showers and other events. The bakery is open Thur, Fri, and Sat (There are Tues and Wed hours available for pre-order pick up). Do yourself a favor, experience this wonderful bakery!

I picked this provider because the reviews suggested that she was good and her pictures also showed…read morethat she has talent in unique cake designs at a very fair price. BUT Communication: I was having trouble getting information out of her and had to ask several questions to get an answer. Response time took forever and the responses were very short UNTIL I started to speak about payment then everything was fine. style: Don't get my wrong the cake was pretty close (the two stars) We had a Taco Bell themed party and the inspiration cake was fake Taco Bell packs and "sauce" which I assumed would be made out of JELLY. NO, she put actual taco bell packets (did tell me she had to use real ones) and actual Taco Bell sauce on our cake that dried and looked disgusting. The very front of the cake was messed up. I was going to try and fix it myself when I got home but I was afraid I would make it worse. The whole thing just felt sloppy. Taste: This cake was not good. The layers of actual cake was thick and dry and the "filling" was so thin. The icing was thick that almost everyone picked most of it off and there was so much left over. And don't get me started on the taco sauce and the taste of that . Overall, I was very disappointed and will be going somewhere else next time.

We heard they had good cookies and wanted to stop in. But I was surprised to see that they literally had JUST cookies. A full store with like 8 kinds of cookies. Albeit, they were huge, probably 5" rounds. We decided to get a box of 4 and went with a chocolate chip, a key lime, a sugar cookie with sprinkles, and a peanut butter cup one. Lemme say, all 4 of them hit every mark; delicious! The chocolate chip had crisp edges, which is EXACTLY how I like them! Probably won't make a trip back, but I'd stop back in if I'm in the area. The price point was good, cheaper than most luxe bakery items now. The 4-pack was $12. Worth it.
