I was so excited to see another Italian bakery in the area when Cranky Yankee opened. It is a cute…read morelittle shop right in the heart of Apex. This is our 2nd visit here...First time was when they first opened so thought I'd give them some grace as they work through the new business glitches. I honestly don't recall much of the items that we bought so am giving them another go. First, none of the items in the bakery cases were labeled. Had to ask the staff what each & every item was. Labeling them would be far more efficient and helpful for everyone. Second, the appearance of the bakery items weren't very professional/ esthetic looking compared to other bakeries that I've been. Not a big deal to me since taste is first & foremost most important however, a pretty pastry definitely makes an impression on the eyes. We bought a couple of items to try. The lemon olive oil cake with pistachio sounded delish. Have had other olive oils cakes before & it was always moist & flavorful. This one was dry & crumbly. The flavors were there but how could an olive oil cake be dry?!?! The vegan banana walnut cake with chocolate sounded amazing. It too was very dry and very very dense...so dense that we had to use effort to push a fork through. What this tells me was that the items have been sitting for a long while & haven't sold. There's no excuse why these 2 items were not quality checked and still left for sale. In all honestly, these were not calorie worthy enough for me to give them another go.

My daughter and I loved Sweet Talk. To start, the ambiance was adorable and very calm, with a very…read morecozy coffee shop-esque feel. Jasmine provided excellent service! We ordered the honey garlic toast, which was so tasty. The cheese was melted to perfection and the bread was fluffy, with the chopped nuts, honey, and herbs being a very nice touch.

If you are looking for a place to chitchat, work, planning a business and/or just day dreaming, Sweet Talk is your place!

Here is the revised Yelp review with the correct name:…read more My wife and I recently stopped by Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Café in downtown North Carolina, and we left already planning our next visit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly and served with genuine kindness. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. It feels like the kind of place where you can slow down, sit across from someone you love, and actually enjoy your coffee. We ordered an espresso, a latte, a chocolate croissant, and a lemon pastry. Everything was fresh. The croissant had crisp, flaky layers on the outside and a soft, buttery texture inside. The lemon pastry was bright and balanced, not overly sweet. The espresso was strong and smooth. The latte was well crafted and comforting. Service was quick without feeling rushed. The space was clean. The overall experience was simple and well done. If you are in downtown and want good coffee, fresh pastries, and attentive service, Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Café is worth your visit. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will return. Highly recommend.

It looked like it was getting some attention from the church next door that was hosting a kids event so gave it a try.

I really loved the crumble cake, which was mouth watering when warmed up. Highly recommend this place for anyone with a sweet tooth.

I got some walnut baklava and an iced matcha, and they were both prepared quickly and were tasty. My wife and I found a couch and it was pretty comfy, but there were also a bunch of small tables as well. It was reasonably busy throughout our time there, but not crowded. Parking was simple as well since Asali is part of a strip mall. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back.

I was here last last Sunday and had a great experience...fast, polite service, beautifully…read morepresented food and nice ambiance. Today, not so much. Ironically, I went here because I rarely get out to eat and the service has always been consistent. 1. There was no one at the cash register and an employee who was just about to go on break took my order. He was polite enough but I found out later that he put in the wrong order. 2. There were no tables that I saw that were wiped off. Some had the dishes removed but I needed to wipe off a table. 3. A cockroach scrambled across the floor near my table to the left of the coffee station. I wish I was joking, or seeing things but I wasn't the only person who saw it. One of the female employees went toward it and stepped on it but since it was headed toward my table, I moved. 4. It was really hot in there. Maybe not AC completely broken hot, but AC on the struggle bus hot. There was a large fan in the back dining room that wasn't doing much of anything except redistributing humidity. 5. I ordered an avocado toast with bacon and got delivered a grilled cheese sandwich. The server took it back but then I needed to ask for the bacon. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture because the same dish on Sunday was so elaborate and beautifully presented and the same order today was just meh. Not a good value for the price. I will say the server correcting someone else's mistake was clearly overwhelmed but doing her best. She was also the cockroach killer. I ate my lunch and read my book. My intention had been to linger a while and read but I decided to leave. The place was about 1/4 full when I left but all the tables still had crumbs, food debris and water on them made it too unpleasant to stick around. Very disappointing. I don't see myself going back any time soon. I do love their bread but I'm sure I can find someplace more pleasant or go to the downtown location instead.
