My mom has been on a mission to try every gold bars in town, so we have been checking out a ton of local bakeries. I really loved the vast selection here- cookies, cakes, cupcakes, whoopie pies, along with custom orders available for the above mentioned items. They were well stocked even though we came late in the day. We will be back for more gold bars, and a variety of other goodies!!

Crumb of brownie was super tender, on the verge of falling apart. But was moist enough to hang together and it ate okay with a fork. Portion size was large'ish. The chocolate cupcake with the cherry on top, by comparison, was pretty subdued and neutral in flavor. The frosting was standard butter cream so far as I could tell. There's a red velvet brownie still on deck, so we will see how that one tastes.

That said it's adorable and nicely decorated inside. You get a couple of hours with multiple courses in your own private room. They have recommendations for the tea pairings with the various courses but you can choose your own and there's one heck of a selection. The staff is knowledge and will give you recommendations on what (if anything) to add to your tea to really bring out the flavor as far as cream and sugar goes. We did the non-alcoholic service and the food and tea were both amazing. There was plenty of food in the three courses. They have limited ability to accommodate dietary needs, but were able to do this for just one member of our party without forcing the others that ad no restrictions to that particular menu item. It didn't matter though, it was all delicious. Anyway, this was an excellent experience and I highly recommend it.

After being seated, our party of four waited a long while before someone popped her head into our seating area to direct our attention towards the menus. The Tearoom offers a curated three-course tea as well as a lengthy menu of options to substitute from. We all said we'd like the curated tea and some water, but the staff person said she'd come back in a while after we had some time to look at the menu. Hmmm. Another ten minutes passed before a different staff person returned with glasses of water. She listened when we repeated that we'd like the menu on offer and returned with the first pot of tea. After a while she brought the first course of a scone and savory strata. The scone was dry. Meh. The strata, though, was tender and flavorful. Then came the second course of tea sandwiches. My, my, meh. A slice of mass-market white bread with butter and cucumber slices. A slice of mass-market wheat with something pasty, sprinkled with what seemed like garlic sesame bagel topping. If there was a third savory, I don't remember it. The tea with this course tasted exactly like Harney & Sons Paris blend. Desserts were a mini chocolate and toffee trifle, a brownie-like confection, and a red velvet mini Bundt cake. Meh. The tea for this course was a basic rooibos blend. But maybe I was already over it when this course was served. It was many minutes before staff appeared to ask if we'd need anything further, like boxes. So, the final calculus...a cute room, inattentive staff, expensive. I'm not convinced, but everyone needs their own experience, so I'd say " Go. Enjoy your tea." I'm looking forward to reading your opinion.

Considering other reviews have mentioned the same issue, this is something that the owner needs to evaluate and fix. We got the London Fog (which tasted like straight sugar) and Caramel Apple (which tasted like a mouthful of cinnamon and sugar). I spat them both out. Would not recommend. The only redeeming quality was that the macaron shells were very nicely baked and texture had a good crunch.
