Bake-wise, this place was A-OK, especially for the price. Hear me out - nothing was amazing, but everything was better than you'd make at home. Nothing was visually stunning, but everything was good. I MUCH PREFER something to be good than to be visually stunning, so I'm fine with this. In fact, places where everything looks "perfect" tend to lack on taste - largely because the pastries have been sitting out getting "perfected" for so long that they suffer. Taste-wise, I will say that the turnovers were a bit soggy, and the muffins (which were delicious!) had berries that sunk . The former is important, the latter is being nit picky. I offer it as hopefully constructive feedback. VERY FRIENDLY staff. Good selection of pastries. And priced well.

Jennifer made our cake for our wedding. She was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy with…read morehow everything turned out! During our initial meeting Jennifer made six mini cakes of different flavors to try. They were all amazing. My favorite cake flavor is red velvet, but this wasn't one of the six flavors she prepared. My birthday was a few weeks later, and she made another mini cake of red velvet for us to try (and even wrote "Happy Birthday Allyce" on it.) We ended up going with red velvet. My favorite season is fall, and our date was November 4, so I wanted to have fall decorations on the cake. Jennifer made leaves out of sugar and airbrushed them with a mix of fall colors, and they turned out beautiful! Jennifer also made us an anniversary cake for our one year. She went beyond our expectations and made a 2 layer cake and put more of the sugar leaves on it. We loved munching on the cake for several days and remembering back to our wedding day.

We will use Jennifer and Ambrosia Cake Creations for every large event from now on!

I used to love it here but I had a really bad experience recently. I walked in and asked for a…read morecoffee with citrus in it...my husband had remembered a drink he ordered there and asked me for it and that was the best way I knew how to say it. The lady behind the counter (middle-age, petite, long brown ponytail under a hat) scrunched up her nose at me and said..."we have lavender...that's the closest thing we have to citrus." She looked at me like I had two heads, but we went back and looked at old menus and saw it on there. It was an espresso with orange juice. Anyways, I changed the order and asked for a brown sugar cinnamon latte instead and when I asked her what kind of oat milk they had, she just gave me a look and said "the expensive kind." Then I tried to gently explain that I needed to know because my husband is super sensitive to gluten and sometimes oat milk has gluten and she all but rolled her eyes and said "our entire facility is gluten free." I get that...but no need to be snide about it! I was wearing sunglasses because I had been crying about some bad news I had gotten on the way to the shop and her mean attitude made me feel so much worse. There were a couple people in line behind me while she was making my latte and a sweet teenager walked behind the counter and said, "can I help who's next?" And I said "oh actually I wanted to order a cookie as well" and the lady practically yelled "I'LL GET TO YOU." and told the teen to help the other people, even though they weren't ready to order yet and were just standing there when I was ready and knew what I wanted. Then I asked for a lemon cookie and she tried to upsell me something else and I said no thank you. I was also having a tough time standing for long periods of time that day due to chronic illness and her making me wait made it worse....just abysmal customer service. I don't know if I freaked her out by keeping my sunglasses on inside or what but it felt very personal and I'm disappointed. And that lemon cookie was the worst thing I have eaten there by far. Very dry. Do better! EDIT: response to the owner: No, Michele is not always nice. You just missed it. Please see the attached picture for proof of the citrus coffee drink I was referencing. Very disappointed in my experience there and your dismissive response that somehow puts the blame back on my "bad day." Will not be back.

Overall Rating: 3.5 stars (if Yelp allowed)…read more Service/Ambiance (5 stars): Super friendly people. Love the exposed brick and the decor gives it a nice city vibe in this small town. Food (3 stars): We tried the sticky bun, cinnamon bun with icing and a cheese danish. The icing on the cinnamon roll was the best part. Both buns were more on the dry/bread-like side and I prefer a soft/gooey-middle bun. The cheese danish was our least favorite. I think all of the pastries would have been better warmed, so I would recommend taking your baked goods home and microwaving before eating. Coffee (2.5 stars): As recommended by another Yelper, get coffee at a nearby coffee shop. I had a hot vanilla latte (not good) and my husband had the crème brûlée latte (better, can't really taste the coffee).
