My husband and many other people I know absolutely love their apple fritters and swear they're the best (I'm allergic ). This is my go-to doughnut shop and I will never be disappointed in their strawberry iced or sugar raised doughnuts. They're simple, basic doughnuts, but really well executed.

Raspberry Filled Jelly. The service here is very bad. They had no hair nets on or gloves. The location time is wrong as well.

They offer a variety of cupcakes, cookies, and donuts, all plant based and gluten free, and everything I tried was incredible. The donuts especially stood out. I honestly didn't know a vegan donut could taste this amazing. They were soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and packed with flavor. Not dry or dense at all, just absolutely delicious. Whether you follow a vegan or gluten free diet or just love a great dessert, this bakery is 100 percent worth a visit. You would never guess these treats are vegan and gluten free. Highly recommend.

I decided to go with a cupcake variety. You don't get to pick what kinds you want. It's whatever they are baking that week, which worked fine. Half a dozen cupcakes are around $20, so I got four of them for $80, which was the right amount for 18 people, with leftovers. Do note that the website calls them "party size". I didn't know what that meant, so I called. It means regular size, which was a good thing at that price LOL. I was glad party size wasn't mini ones. Loved that I was able to order them via their website in advance. They were nicely boxed and ready for me when I arrived Saturday morning to pick them up. Easy breezy. And they were a hit unlike previous vegan cakes I've bought in the past from other places. I asked them to remind me what flavors they were and she suggested I take pics so I could let our guests know. So the attached pics show the yummy flavors.

They have a menu that changes weekly, offering a variety of cupcakes, cake slices, cookies, cookie dough, and other items. Some of the varieties, like vanilla chocolate, and wedding cake, are offered every week. German chocolate is my favorite so I keep watch to see when that is offered. But other offerings are creative like banana pudding, hot fudge sundae, They offer gluten-free cupcakes as well. Cinnamon rolls used to be a treat just on Saturdays, but are offered on Fridays now too. Around the holidays, you can pre-order pies, cakes and other specialized items. They take orders for full cakes, wedding cakes, pies, cookies and cupcakes all year. If you have a sweet tooth, this is a great option to try some treats. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
