My first experience with Cake Thieves was about ten years ago - Mila Coffee sold their donuts and I…read moreremember craving that fruity pebbles donut for ages. They matched perfectly with Mila's Coffee. Much to my surprise, Cake Thieves had a brick and mortar bakery over on the east side of the city! I dropped by to check it out and I was very pleased to see a robust vegan menu. Vegan bakeries are few and far in between, and as someone who is NOT vegan, but appreciates the vegan culinary arts, I was very excited to see a full pastry case. I ordered the cortado, butterfly pea flower latte, a jalapeño cheese kolache, and a creme brûlée donut. The cortado was more of a cappuccino in terms of size/volume but I still enjoyed it. The butterfly pea flower latte had vanilla in it, and the oat milk yielded a delightfully creamy drink that I would absolutely make the drive for again. The kolache was good. The croissant dough was buttery and flakey (amazing what vegan butter can do nowadays!), but the sausage was missing that decisive "snap" texture when you bite into it. Oh well, it was still a very good breakfast treat. I took the donut home and had it a few hours later. I loved how crispy/crunchy the bruleed/caramelized top was! The donut itself was fluffy and the filling was nice and sweet. The staff? Amazing. Shout out to Eli (spelling?) for making the entire experience just truly magnificent.

So far, my favorite flavor is the Lavender Lime. I tried the Keylime Cheesecake, I wasn't a fan--also wasn't expecting it for cost $15 for the slice!! But the donuts are my personal favorite. They have a great selection of vegan pastries and desserts. This is a great place for someone who is dairy free or vegan. They have plenty of indoor seating--though I always opt to take my items to-go. I crave the donuts, so I will continue coming back for them!

Really cute little ice cream shop with an old fashioned slant and great flavors!…read more We had just left a school award ceremony and wanted a little ice cream celebration and found this on Yelp! It was quiet as there was a massive storm outside but it was lovely inside and the service was great! Got a couple of ice cream sundae with flavors like birthday cake and cookies and cream! The ice cream was delicious! They also sell old fashioned sodas and desserts too! Definitely worth a visit ?

Looking for a Friday night place to satisfy my sweet tooth and Melvin's Homemade Ice Cream was the…read morechoice. The shop is attached to Max and Louie's Diner, which I assume is under the same management. Max has its own bakery selections inside the dinner's glass case while Melvin's is primarily an ice cream shop. I was a bit disappointed that only 12 different ice cream flavors were available, so I went with the Cherry Crumb Pie and wifey did a traditional scoop of ice cream on a waffle cone. I requested the pie to be heated up so I could enjoy eating inside. The pie cherry filling was just OK and is comparable to what you find at a convenience store. No real cherry flavor stood out although the pie crumble was a bit better. From the lack of excess excitement or lip smacking from wifey, I concluded it was just an OK experience, too. Perhaps a wider variety of flavors would help create a better following, but for now, I would bypass Melvin's and go straight to Max and Louies for a late night sugar fix.

I ended up getting two cookies. I got a lemon raspberry. I did order a peanut butter cup one, but when I got home, I noticed that it was not a peanut butter cup. It had pieces of dried fruit. I'm not sure which one it was, but it was not my favorite. The lemon raspberry one was very good. Of course, it was very sweet. It is so big that I didn't finish it all in one sitting. I probably ate it over a period of three days They don't have inside or outside seating. It is to go only. It would be nice to have a few tables inside or outside to drink your coffee and enjoy your pastry. Parking is available on site, but shared with other businesses. They are closed on Sundays.

Rude service, if you don't like people, don't serve people…read more The older gentleman is kind and pleasant, the older lady is rude like she hates customers. I bought 3 bags of items. I went back and said it was missed and she told me I must have eaten it. I told her there wasn't enough time to have eaten it. I walked out and went back in. She said I must have given it to someone to eat. I couldn't show any proof it was it wasn't charged bc she printed a receipt that was blank with no transaction information. I paid for a replacement and handed her a $20, she said "smaller bill" and tossed the $20 on the counter. Is it really this necessary to be so rude? I won't go back. It's closed to where I live but the service of other bakeries is superior than this shop.

An update 8 years later…read more.. My quest to try and rate every cortado in the city continues... I picked Panaderia Jimenez by chance because I was looking for something not too far from where I live. Since it's been a little more than a minute since my 1st visit, I decided to see how they've changed in almost a decade. First of all, I adore how they serve the coffee in the traditional Mexican cups that resemble pitchers. I ordered a cortado (with cinnamon and honey) and a Snickers latte. For breakfast I had the jalapeño cheese kolache, and I took some pan dulce home for later (a Mexican wedding cookie, a blueberry empanada, and a mini pink concha). The cortado was lovely, if a wee bit foamy for my liking. The added cinnamon and honey made it very cozy and palatable. The snickers latte was excellent. The kolache's breading was a little thin, and very buttery and flakey, but the sausage was the star. Each bite was snappy and flavorful. I've yet to try the pan dulce, but I'm sure by the way they smell that they're fantastic. Panadería Jimenez reminds me of merienda on Sundays with my family back in Brownsville. Nostalgic, comforting, and familial.

They also explained their mission and non profit to help recovering addicts. It's more of a "pay what you can" system. It's also only cash but they have an atm there. The vibe was very chill and bright. They had a good amount of of seating inside and a bench and a few tables out side as well. They have a variety of baked goods and drinks and also have to fill shelves of crystals and tinctures, teas and stuff that you can shop through. They have a kids corner as well which makes it the perfect place to chill and relax while your kids are entertained. I tried the lavender matcha and brown butter rice crispy. The rice crispy was ok. It tasted buttery but it was a lil more chewy than I expected. The matcha was super good! It was very creamy with the right balance of flavor. I would definitely go back for another.

It wasn't busy and the ladies in the front were so chill and fun to talk with. Loved they gave their thoughts on some good recommendations and had great conversations.

I paid it but really appreciated they had an atm in the building can pull money for. I ordered a matcha drink and was so delicious. One of the better matcha I have had in a while. Ordered some desserts too and we're great too. Liked the cannoli and also took some cowboy cookies (good to dip in milk with) overall was a great experience and plan to come back here in the near future.
