The line would be out the door all day that they're open if so. These sweet treats are properly salted. The recipes are reliably followed. The aesthetics are consistent. The Thai tea is not a ghastly shade of Cheeto orange. On top of all that, the messaging left through sugar cookie icing/social media usage is actually punk rock. What's not to love?

Many thanks to this great small bakery that was on my way to work and still had paczkis for sale on…read moreFat Tuesday today! It's off the beaten path and the parking lot is small but it was well worth the trip! I bought four paczkis in three different flavors and had the Bavarian cream for myself. For only $1.75 a paczki, I think it was very tasty and definitely worth the price! The flavor selection is small but that's probably to keep costs down, especially since this is actually an Italian bakery! I intend to make this the bakery I go to for Italian holidays in the future so I can try their specialties! Kind and quick service too.

Quite simply, you cannot go wrong with Tiffany Bakery…read more The selection is outstanding, first of all. Second, the quality is top notch. This is traditional baked selection with multiple signature items. I also deeply appreciate the cost is not overinflated. Many bakeries (especially newer ones) charge A LOT for their items. Not here. I'm always shocked by what a great value this place is. If it's a summer night stop in and grab a cannoli and ice cream, or work with them on a custom cake for an event. They are super sweet in there and are always willing to help. You can tell they really care about their community and their product. I need to go here more!

I got in there about 30 minutes before closing so they were pretty cleared out of stuff and they mentioned how they stop serving lunch/sandwhiches 30 minutes before closing so just a heads up on that. The service was great and the two ladies behind the counter were friendly and helpful. It appeared that some of their refrigerated items may be bought for sale and not baked in house but all their baked goods in that case were made by them and had a large selection of baked goods from breads, biscotti, bars, tarts, cakes, and more. it also looks like they offer made to order/custom cakes so that is pretty cool! Although not pictured, we tried several macarons and they had a subtle flavor, nothing overpowering which was nice. We also tried their mini tarts in lemon and cherry, as well as their apple crumble in phyllo dough. This was interesting and I have never seen it wrapped in phyllo dough. We also tried the carrot cake which after unpacking it, I do not believe it was made in house as it was part of the other refrigerated goods. Everything was light and pretty tasty. I would give this place a try if you are in the area as it has a lot of charm and variety of goods so I am sure you can find something you will enjoy!

Been here a few times, just now getting around to a review. Came in at 12:30 on a Friday afternoon…read morefor lunch. Was seated at a booth that was just vacated by the previous party. Outside of the bar, there wasn't an open seat in the joint. Was promptly served a Diet Pepsi and ordered the chicken Parmesan. The waitress was very friendly, fast and attentive. The chicken parm was a perfect size for lunch, and the whole meal was a bargain at $15. The chicken itself was very good, nice and crispy, though not overly cheesy or saucy. The side of spaghetti complemented it well, but the red sauce was more of a tomato topping than a spaghetti sauce. I'm not sure a side of sauce would have changed things, just very thick and not very saucy. The flavor was okay, and on par for a diner. Also got a side of the cucumber salad which was outstanding! Leaving was a bit challenging. There were several old biddies at the cash register selecting bakery items like kids in a candy store. Maybe they were there by design, as I ended up getting a raspberry coffee cake they had on the counter (which was very good). The place is cash only and I needed to make change to tip my waitress. By the time I got back to my table, there was someone already sitting there enjoying her coffee. Since there were only 2 waitresses, it wasn't hard to make sure my server got her just deserves for a job well done. The place was as crowded when I left at 1:00 as it was when I arrived. Also, I'm 60 years old and had to be the youngest in the place by about 20 years!

The chocolate chip pancakes were fluffy and amazing, the hash Browns were good, the eggs were cooked to perfection and went really well with the ciabatta bread. The bacon was perfect, The veggies and grapes on the side were a nice touch. The espresso drinks.. Perfect amount of sweetness. Not too much, not too bitter. Perfect. The only thing that I didn't like, I got some apple streudel to go, and it was pretty soggy. But since everything else was so good, I'm still giving 5 stars.

All in all I'd recommend them as a bakery and as a wedding dessert place. Angela brought great experience with weddings and helped us get enough cakes without going overboard or breaking our budget.

I specifically recall having about ten different companies open on my browser simultaneously. I was removing them one by one and Fat T's was the last one open. I had just about given up hope and found myself on the verge of settling for a cookie I'd ordered before from another company. After viewing the selections (and the backstory of Fat T's), I figured I'd give it a try. Most of the cookie selections fall right in line with what I'd typically order so I was optimistic. From placement of the order to arrival at my door took about six days which is more than acceptable. I ordered a nine-cookie variety pack. I'm about six cookies down and they are phenomenal. I have yet to find one that I wouldn't enjoy more of. Fat T's will definitely be my go-to cookie for myself and my family moving forward when we look to indulge. You all at Fat T's deserve to be incredibly proud of the quality of your product. Cheers!
