    Decent bakery. Their food is good, but nothing too special. The cannolis were tasty, but the eclair was okay. The breakfast sandwich was good, however the ambiance was lacking. The employee was very polite. I didn't try lots of their food or buy a custom made cake (which appear to be wonderful in other photos and reviews) so I cannot be too critical. Overall a decent bakery, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here unless I wanted a custom baked cake. If you're in the area and want a sweet treat though, come here!

    Cinnamon roll

    I ordered a cinnamon roll $5.25, they looked heavenly, he warmed it up for me and it was delicious! The bacon egg and cheese was hot! the way I like it. It had plenty of egg and cheese and 3 slices of bacon and the biscuit was yummy $5.50, Yelp lists it for $4. Highly recommend the biscuit sandwich.

    I have to share my experience with Jill's Cakes and Bakes! I needed a cake for a baby shower across the country and found this gem. From the very first call, they understood exactly what I wanted. Their communication was top-notch, and everyone I spoke to was on the same page.   I sent them some decorations for the cake, and they applied them perfectly! My family picked up the cake, and when it arrived at the baby shower, it was a showstopper. We received so many compliments on how beautiful and delicious the cake was. We also ordered 40 party favor cookies in various flavors, and they were a hit! Order from them and you won't regret your purchase!! (Excuse the green marker, wanted to cover up my nieces name)

    I am only reviewing the breakfast at this time. I ordered a bagel (not baked in the house) tosted with cream cheese and a slice tomatoes and then the only items that they made in house which are the biscuit and croissant tosted with butter. I spent $10.08 for the 3 items. Sadly, the bagel was disappointing, thrybforgot to add tomato to the order (still charged me) also the bagel was so was tiny, and definitely not in any way gourmet, l so if you are used to panera bread bagels, then don't go here. You will be disappointed by just looking at it. Regarding the croissant and the biscuit, they were not gourmet or in any way special. Sadly, Publix bagels, croissants, and biscuits are much better quality I honestly hate having to write this review as I love to support local businesses but for almost $4+ dollars per item the quality should been much better.

    It was OK. The best thing we ordered was the chocolate covered peanut butter balls. It was essentially a large sized buckeye. They should seriously consider a white chocolate version. The macaroons had a weird chewy consistency to their filling. I would not order them again. I am going to give this place another chance for sure. They have a lot of lunch options. Some of which sounded pretty interesting. The prices were reasonable.

    Perhaps the worst macaroon I've ever had and the most blah cupcake. My visit here was inconsistent and hopefully not an example of the quality of their goods. I had a macaroon, a cupcake, and a peanut butter ball. The macaroon was just awful. There is no nicer way to explain it. The flavor was off, the shell was not crisp, and the filling had a terrible gummy texture/feel. It was chewy, almost the texture and feel of already chewed gum. After reading some other reviews I think I know what was wrong...it was old. The strawberry cupcake was...meh. The cupcake itself was fine, it just tasted and seemed very...Duncan Hines. The peanut butter ball was the best thing I had this visit. It was a ball of peanut butter covered in chocolate...you really can't get that wrong and it was good. Would I go back...not sure. If I do, I definitely will not be having another one of their macaroons.

    AMAZING! Jill looked at a picture of what we wanted for a single SECOND and was able to re-create it perfectly. So easy to work with and super sweet. We were so happy with our wedding cake!!

    Absolutely the BEST cannoli I've ever had. It was super crispy, super fresh and the filling had so much flavor! We will definitely be back :) my husband loved his banana nut muffin too.

    A friend recently gifted me a delicious frozen peach pie from Southern Baked Pie Company, I admit I…read morewas a little skeptical but I'm a sucker for pie so after a few days I decided to pop it in the oven and hoped for the best. I've eaten a lot of pie over the years, homemade, fresh baked from a bakery and from the freezer, this peach pie was one of the best peach pies I have ever ever ever eaten hands down. The crust and lattice work was amazing, the pie was loaded with larges slices of peaches folded into a slight tart filling and for me the most impressive feature of the pie besides the taste was the texture of the fruit which was still relatively firm instead of being mushy like you get in some fruit pies. I am definitely a fan of this bakery and fortunately for me I have a camping trip planned next month in very close proximity to them and will absolutely pay them an in person visit to see what other goodies they have to offer and to fill my freezer. Southern Baked Pie Company is definitely a company you should try...

    For the sake of honesty, let me start by saying my initial experience with the Gainesville store…read morewas not awesome. BUT... Management made it right and I sincerely appreciate that effort even though I didn't expect or ask for anything like that to happen. The director of operations went above and beyond and it says a lot about a company when their upper management actually cares that much about one customer's experience. All I wanted was to make a listing error known after what I thought I ordered turned out to be something completely different. My issue was more than fixed by the DoO personally bringing me the pot pie I'd thought I'd ordered as well as a full sized key lime pie; and I'm so appreciative of the effort put forth to make things right. It was completely unexpected but a beautiful gesture just the same. With that said... My thoughts on the food? Cons: I do think it's a bit pricey for a pot pie or a pie in general. The filling needs to be a bit thicker. It was a tad too runny. Pros: Can I make a great pot pie from scratch at home? Yes. Did I have time to do that this week? No. Is mine as good as theirs? Filling wise? Maybe, however theirs did have a very nice flavor. But their crust is FABULOUS! And just so happens to be the best part of a pot pie, in my opinion and I humbly admit, in that realm, they have me beat by miles. We got the frozen, take and bake, which was super convenient. Directions were easy to follow. Just remove the plastic wrap, pop in the oven on 400 for 30 minutes and then lower temp to 375, bake again for an additional 50-60 minutes. Leaving me without having the usual mess I create when I make my own pot pie and after an incredibly busy Monday-Wednesday, I was so grateful! The key lime pie... all I can say is WOW!! I'm not a dessert baker and don't really eat dessert often but I could make an exception for that pie, ANY TIME!! It was just the right balance of tart and sweet, and so creamy! I also loved, even though this is probably an unpopular opinion, that they didn't cover the pie in meringue. Over all, initial error/experience aside, I'm very happy with the food and its quality, as well as the business ethics of the company as a whole. Would I do it again? Yeah, I think I would. It's a healthier option than fast food and even with the price being a bit high, I think it's worth it.
