    Custom chocolate cake with almond icing.
    Jill D.

    I ordered a custom chocolate birthday cake for our 4 year old. Not only was it adorable, it was also delicious! Janet's has never failed me. I used to live here and moved back about a year ago. The service is always friendly and the staff is accommodating, unlike other bakeries I've tried in town. Being new, you like to try new places and I keep coming back!

    Well, everyone I come across would say this is the best bakery in town. I had my retirement cake ordered there not because of that but was told that work has direct billing so it is easier for the secretary to do her job. I just go with the flow. Not sure if the order was not correct or they didn't do what I wanted to order. I wanted whipped cream with chocolate mousse filling. To my disappointment, no filling in the cake. Also the decoration of the cake looks more like homemade than a professional. We ended up eating not even a quarter of the cake! The whipped cream was very sweet and very skimpy. Unlike anything I had in my life at all!

    The beautiful two tiered cake had chocolate with peanut butter mousse on top and white with raspberry on the bottom.

    We loved our wedding cake! Our guests loved the variety in the tiers; we had to get a piece of each! Janet's cakes could use my wood flowers and cake topper; we think it looked fantastic!

    Wedding cake

    Janet's did my parents wedding in 1991 and mine in 2021. We had the basic white + almond. It was delicious and decorated exactly how I wanted with a simple buttercream. It was also tasty a year later. Janet's cakes, cookies and petite fours are my go to, always. I live 13 hours away from Bloomington but I make a point to visit and get some goodies to take home when I'm back in town.

    The perfect mini tiered cake. Enough to feed around 35 people

    Janet's cakes was amazing! They were so easy to work with and all my guests who tried the cake were very happy. I ordered a mini tiered cake with 3 layers: butter pecan, chocolate, and strawberry covered with cream cheese frosting. I only got to taste the strawberry and it was wonderful! Moist, flavorful, and not too sweet. I'm not a huge icing fan but their cream cheese icing was perfect. Also, look how beautiful it was. Thank you Janet's!

    small graduation sheet cake - perfect despite my procrastination!

    Sometimes I'm a procrastinator. It was the day before and I realized I hadn't yet ordered a cake to celebrate my friend's semester early college graduation. #FriendFail Yet Janet's came to the rescue! I showed them a photo from Pinterest for a small sheet cake that I wanted and they did it perfectly. The colors, the details, the spelling... and the flavor was awesome. I did a simple white cake with their version of a buttercream frosting and the happy moans and groans from our friends as we devoured it, left me thinking there was a magic ingredient. I will definitely be used Janet's again for anything custom-ish and based on the recommendations of others I can't wait to try the renowned almond icing. Thank you for saving my procrastinating butt with a smile and a reasonable price to boot.

    Goku Black Cake
    Cindy S.

    I ordered a custom cake over the phone for a wedding rehearsal. It was an odd request to build a Goku Black Dragon Ball Z cake. I also wanted it delivered to the venu as we are from out-of-town. It was delivered as promised but we had no idea what it looked like until the dinner and just had faith it would be great. We were not disappointed!! The frosting detail was amazing and we were all impressed with the artists steady hand! The cake was moist and delicious and the groom cut the cake in a way to preserve part of the character to enjoy later. ... (he just couldn't cut up the head/face part!). I highly recommend Janet's Bakery for all your decorated cake needs. Oh, and the price was about $300 less than I could have ordered in Chicago!!!

    Monchhichi carrot cake.  Bring in a picture and Janet's will make your design!
    Veronica M.

    If you are looking for an affordable, delicious cake, Janet's is the way to go. We have ordered several birthday cakes from here, and they've all been delicious. There's a variety of icing and cake flavors. The icing is really rich and the cake is always moist and flavorful. The carrot cake is one of the best I've ever had. Janet's can make almost any 2D design on a cake. As far as I know, they don't do a lot of fondant work, so if you're looking for something super fancy, you'll have to go somewhere else. Other than that, they've done every design we've asked for, from Zelda to Adventure Time (Homies help Homies, always).

    I don't think this store could be any more rude. They didn't have my wedding cake ready on time and were very nasty about it.

    The butter pecan cake is my favorite from Janet's. The decorations are also very good.

    Lemon cake with vanilla almond frosting is the best thing I have ever had. My brother got his wedding cake from here and it was awesome.

Has a lot of things grown locally. The prices are kind of high, which is the only bad thing. A lot of all natural and organic food and items. It's got some pretty interesting things and you can even order a hot meal. The selection isn't as good as something like Whole Foods, but it's locally owned. Has a lot of the things you can find somewhere else cheaper. That's the bad thing about it, so if you're just looking for good prices they won't have these. Even so, there's a few things that aren't bad. The staff is fairly knowledgeable. Comparing to other stores, it seems best as a complement to other places to get groceries. Its worst thing is the prices. The good things include locally grown products, and plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians.

This place offers so much to guests, it's a newer, very clean and well kept store. The selection of what is offered is comprehensive. Amazing health food that is great for my wife who is on gluten free diet. Their soups are absolutely delicious. Great deals and best of all, there's hard to find products I've never seen before! They have an eatery upstairs, they offer classes too! They're always promoting local happenings in the area on the bulletin board by the restroom. Staff here was a pleasure to be around. They even encourage everyone to become an owner too which really isn't much. They have over 6,000 owners and after my experience here I might consider becoming one too! Free boxes! My wife was really happy about how they sort out their trash here too! This is the standard bearer of what a health store should be. I don't come to Bloomington much but I highly suggest visiting this place! One of the best health food stores I've been too!

Took about 40-45 mins to finally get our coffee after walking in but the baristas were all super kind and apologized for the wait despite it being out of their control and them working diligently. They have a wide assortment of pastries that look absolutely delicious and of course, coffee, with syrup options (they use the 1883 brand), and a seasonal menu. We got the vanilla and the caramel latte, and both were the perfect amount of sweet and had good flavor. Would absolutely recommend!

Famous for their amazing coffee,teas and homemade baked goods, today's search was for the ellusive Pumpkin Spice Latte with real Pumpkin! (Don't be fooled by chain restaurants who advertise pumpkin spice but have spice but no pumpkin. Shame on you, giant chain restaurants!) I ordered an iced pumpkin spice latte with an extra shot of espresso. It was a perfect blend of espresso, pumpkin, spices and cream! Very refreshing after a day of errands and just what I needed for the mid-afternoon slump. I eyed the pumpkin cake but will have to try that next time as too full from lunch. My friend got a loaded hot chocolate which he pronounced, "yummy!" The Staff as always, friendly and helpful. I love the ambiance of this location with the origial artwork and downtown charm. If you are looking for a nice spot to spend a little time during your busy day; stop and smell the coffee. I highly recommend The Coffee Hound, you will not be disappointed! Kate the Artist
