She shared with me how she began baking after discovering of her son's food allergies; you can feel the love being put into every baked good with the same care and concern she had making her son's first allergen-free cake. Because of this, she caters to many tastes and preferences; I've included a photo of all the flavorings just to demonstrate this point! When you place your order, you won't just be pleased with the finished product, you will be WOWED!

Eve was super quick to respond to me and extremely helpful with any questions I had. I wasn't sure what flavors to choose and she guided me to a possible flavor selection from her most popular flavors and by asking what my son's favorite flavors were. Based off of strawberries (His favorite flavor) she came up with an amazing flavor profile for the cake, mini cupcakes and cake pops. The cake ended up being a classic vanilla cake layered with fresh strawberry cream, fresh strawberries, and a touch of strawberry coulis. The cake pops were triple chocolate flavor made with Belgian truffle chocolate--and strawberries, and last but not least the mini cupcakes were strawberry with lemon buttercream. The final products came out beyond my expectations from the visual presentation she nailed and even better than the inspiration photo I sent her and the taste was so delicious and tasty. Everything was a big hit with my party guests and I received so many compliments. Birthday boy was in heaven with his cake! Thank you Eve for sharing your baking gifts and knowledge with us! No doubt I will be a returning customer!

The handmade tortilla on the steak quesadilla was spectacular. Seriously, the masa alone was worth the visit. It was fresh, flavorful, and had that texture you only get when someone actually knows what they're doing with a tortilla. I ordered the goat super burrito without rice. Normally, when I hear "super," I expect sour cream and guacamole, but mine didn't come with either. What it did have, however, was what seemed like double the meat. And I'm certainly not going to complain about that. The goat was beautifully stewed, tender, flavorful, and incredibly fresh. Actually, everything here tastes fresh. And that's because it is. Everything is made from scratch, and you can taste the difference. It took about 15-20 minutes from ordering to getting my food, which is completely reasonable considering everything is being prepared fresh, on the spot. There was no one else in the restaurant when I ordered, but that clearly doesn't mean this place isn't busy. It was Friday, and there was a steady stream of people coming through to pick up bakery orders. Everything in the bakery case looked amazing, and judging by the number of people coming in, I wasn't the only one who knew it. I'm just a little sad with my visit, because you can't really see into the kitchen. So I didn't get to watch the woman making the masa, mixing it between her hands with that effortless rhythm that makes you wonder how many years, or generations, it took to learn. A rhythm taught to her by her mother, who learned it from hers. Then watching her fold, shape, and press that masa would be like watching history become dinner. There was generations of tradition, technique, and love layered into something you get to hold in your hands and eat. This space is immaculate and it has soul and sol. My only reason for not giving it five stars is that everything is to-go. I really wanted to sit down and enjoy this meal right there instead of taking it with me. With food this good, handmade, and fresh, I would absolutely love to have a place to sit and savor it. Great food, handmade from scratch, generous portions, and a bakery that clearly deserves further investigation. This isn't just a place making food. It's a kitchen carrying something forward. And that's a pretty special thing.
