Hot cider and banana bread

Loved Lorraine's Bake Shop. We had Banaba Bread that tasted like grandma's. The cider was delightful. And the peach shake was so yummy! It is such a pleasant atmosphere with wonderful customer service!

While out at lunch trying to find something to curb this sweet tooth, i came across this spot. Enjoyed conversations with associate, who was quite friendly....

What an amazing find! I had this place bookmarked before leaving Tampa. It just happened to pop up on Google reviews as being a new bakery. I didn't exactly know where it was until the baristas at Prevail Union pointed me in the right direction. Low and behold, it was right across the street from Lower Dexter Park and next door to Island Delight. It's difficult to see the sign from across the street. Just look for the mixing tools on the glass windows. It's such a cozy atmosphere. It has a farm house feel. There's lots of seating. I believe they serve coffee and tea as well. Lorraine was very friendly, and gave us an introduction to all of her baked goodies. I knew I hit the bakery jackpot as soon as I entered. The aroma of fresh baked cookies hit me almost immediately. I couldn't get just one item. I ended up getting the very popular ginger oatmeal cream pie. There was already a customer eating one of these cookie sandwiches when we arrived. He wasn't the first to recommend it. One of the baristas at Prevail Union said that I must get one. She was right. I split it with my brother who also thought it was very good. I loved it so much that I got another one the next day. Only this time, I didn't share it. All the cookies I had throughout the 3 days I was there were delicious. My personal favorites are the white chocolate macadamia and the chocolate chip cookies. I only wish I had bought more to take home with me. Everything I had was freshly baked with love. This will be on the top of my list the next time I'm in MGM. I'm hoping to go back one day soon with my husband. It's THE place to go if you have a sweet tooth like me. It's a short walk from all the museums, hotels, and stadium. They also bake for special occasions. All of you living in MGM are so lucky to have it. Support this new local bakery!

The gentleman was nice to me when I stopped by. The bake shop has some cool bakery items. I enjoyed my cookie and I will definitely go back the next time I'm in the area.

Cinnamon roll!

This is the BEST bakery/coffee shop I've ever been to! We are in town for the weekend and have come everyday so far because the ambience, desserts, and coffee all OUTSTANDING. Above all else though, the owners are the KINDEST people we have ever met. We could've stayed chatting with them all day. Lorraine's is a MUST TRY! Our favorite desserts were the oatmeal creme pies, cinnamon rolls, and the cookies, don't forget to grab a coffee as well!

Gingerbread Oatmeal Cream Pie, Pumpkin w/Penuche cookie, Snickerdoodle cookie and Carrot Cake w/Cream Cheese Cupcake.

We ordered a mix of baked goodies. The gingerbread oatmeal cream pie was hands down my favorite. That said, everything we had was delicious. The couple that runs the shop are incredibly nice and patient as we tried to narrow down our choices. The shop has an inviting , home-kitchen atmosphere. We will definitely stop here the next time we come to town.

Came to Montgomery running from the hurricane in FL and stopped by this local shop for something sweet. Lorraine & Bill were very friendly! We got a dozen of cookies- honestly all of them were good. The seasonals were by far the best! A bonus- they give military discount

This place is absolutely fantastic! First off the workers here are incredibly kind and recommend…read moregreat food to you. All of the cheese cake options looked great so I asked one of the workers which one he would recommend and he suggested the golden Oreo and it did not disappoint. The cheesecake was incredible creamy and rich and the graham cracker crust was very unique and delicious. I also tried the jerk chicken egg roll and that was great as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this visit and will be back many times in the future.

We just happened upon this place as we were in the joint parking lot of Can a Brotha Get a Slice…read more As I was paying for our pizza, a lady approached me asking whether we wanted cheesecake. I was a little confused but I quickly learned that The Cheesecake Empori-yum is a distinct business. The woman was a friend of the owner and she kindly walked me through the cheesecake options that were available. I was debating between the white chocolate triple berry and the pineapple upside down cake for my husband and the snickers and red velvet for me. I went with the daily special - pineapple upside down cake - and red velvet. The cheesecake slices were $5.15 each, which was perhaps a little hefty for the size of the slice but still reasonable I thought. The pineapple upside down cake cheesecake came out hot. I was told that the cake portion had just been baked. I must admit that it looked very different than what I was imagining it to look like (i.e. Cheesecake Factory) as the cake was falling apart. We refrigerated it for a few hours before trying it so that the cheesecake portion would be cold. While good, this dessert very much looked and tasted like cake and not cheesecake. There was also a texture issue for me as it was all very soft versus having distinct cake and cheesecake textures. We thought that the red velvet cheesecake was more successful. It was rich and creamy and the red velvet flavor came through nicely. The slice held up well and had a nice Oreo crust. It was perfectly baked. We were rushing some so I didn't see the full menu. Next time, I'd love to try the soul food egg rolls!

I almost never give a review, but this was so bad on so many levels…read more They close at 2:00. We got there about 1:25. They were down to the scraps of what food they did have left, which wasn't much, but okay, we get that. We made do. But, when the waitress came to take our drink orders, she said they were out of sweet tea. Hmmm.. it takes about 5 minutes to make tea, but whatever. My husband made a comment, "man, y'all are out of everything" The waitress had such an attitude & said "we got hit hard" in a way that just seemed so argumentative. We sit and continue to eat what we were able to get & i noticed that they had not put cornbread or a roll on my plate. My husband walked back up and asked and they said they were out of cornbread. So, he would take a roll. They said they were out. It is hard to believe that there was not 1 roll in the place. Anyway, the quality of the food was nothing at all to brag about. But my main issue was how rude the waitress had been. So, while he was paying (full price mind you- even for a 3 yr old's lemonade but again, whatever) I walked over to the waitress. All i said to her calmly & nicely, was "i think you could have had a better attitude" She snapped back immediately. She said i think he could have too, talking about my husband. She said we came in at the end of day. Seriously? And that we gave the line guys a hard time. And that we talked about it the whole time we were there. Not so!! When i went to answer and say something to her she got up and said she was not gonna talk about it anymore and stormed off. I am 99% sure i will not return. Not because of the mediocre food. Not even because of the lack of choices. But the very poor customer service did for me. I guess i was expecting something along the lines of "i am so sorry we are out of so much. Please don't let this deter you from visiting us again"

I hadn't had a bowel movement in days and I needed some Sonic to blow the devil out my backdoor. I pulled up to the sound of loud trap music and 22 inch chrome rims. I couldn't figure out what I wanted so I went with the classic double cheeseburger with mayo. A quarter-hour passes and a nice young man approaches my sports utility vehicle. He greets me with a smile, revealing a low quality gold "grille." I tipped the gentleman and rolled the window up to get some privacy for my meal. I was severely disappointed with how wet the tomato slice was. It really bogged down the whole burger and caused quite a fuss. So burger rating= 4.7. On to the cheese tots. Nice crisp. Cheese had pretty good coverage. The one thing that disappointed me was the sweetness of the ketchup. Just the sweetness of the ketchup reduces the score down to a 6.7. All in all, it was OK. Not great. Not bad. Friendly service, interesting music. I heard the word "Aye!" blasting through all the customers' radios. I kind of liked it. Now for the perfect ending. I set out on this gastronomic journey in search for a "blow-out" food for my colon. As I sit hear typing my last words, the sound of a loud splash rings through my bathroom as the 3 day old demon leaves my body and water from the toilet hits my gooch. Thank you, Sonic. You're alright in my book. Keep the dreams alive for the poopers all across the United States. I'll be back.

Clean tables and chairs. Their roti is legit-the wrap is tasty and thin, the brown sauce is rich. The juices are really lovely - plenty of customizable options or choose one pre-made.

I have had both their stewed chicken in brown sauce and the jerk chicken, both of which were excellent. For an American palette, I think they need to remove the bones from the stewed chicken, but A+ for authenticity. If you ask for hot sauce, they will give you some "homemade sauce", which I would call a Scotch Bonnet relish, not sweet. It is great, but pretty chunky for being called a sauce. It has that great spicy sweet heat of the scotch bonnet pepper, and is a great compliment to collards.

They have a comfy couch seating area towards the back and that looks out the window to a mural. The vibe is chill and classy like an early evening hang out with a bar like serving space. They also offer alcohol on draft. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk. They use a good matcha powder that is not presweetened, which I prefer.

The fresh pastries looked great, and Alex patiently informed me about local Conecuh sausage, which I proceeded to order the Conecuh croissant. It was delicious! The Honey Coffee with Macadamia Nut Milk had good, strong coffee with a little sweetness, which is my preference. The fruit cups were good too, but seemed to attract the fruit flies. The ambience is so great! You can sit quietly in a corner to work or read, or have joy and laughter close by. The employees are friendly and the customers are considerate too. I suppose it's just the South. My only qualm is that it would be great if they open earlier than 7am. There were a few customers waiting, including me, that were at door before opening time.
