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.

I sat near the counter and saw them cleaning constantly between orders. That gave me real peace of mind.

There are not enough wonderful things to say about out this place. The service was wonderful. Our…read morewaitress came in and explained how everything worked. There's a little bell if we needed anything. The waitress came in after each tier to give us the next tier of food. I loved that we got our own private suite. The decor was gorgeous. When we had signed up for tea time, I had let the staff know about dietary restrictions, which the waitress knew about. We also let them know that we had come for our anniversary, and the staff made it so special by having a cute little sign on our table. Every course comes with its own tea. Just the teas themselves were incredible. I couldn't have enough of the tea. The pot was kept warm as well on our table. All of the food was absolutely delicious. I also loved that the price you pay for the experience is the total price-tax and tip were included in the price. I would highly recommend coming here for a tea experience.

The Ivy Tearoom provides a good high tea experience with uniquely decorated private rooms. I just…read moreprefer St. James and La Quinta more. I think part of the reason for this preference is the disconnect between the expected and actual experience. With the Ivy Tearoom's unique private rooms (and price), I expected an elevated experience like St. James and La Quinta. The food is delicious but feels like what you would make at home. They have a suggested pairing for each course but you can switch it out for a different tea on their expansive menu if you would like. The tea was good but I didn't like how they used sugar packets instead of sugar cubes.

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.

It was my husbands request to have fresh fish for his birthday dinner. The first place I thought where to get it was at WFM. I made a trip into town to visit this location. The parking lot was clean, and there was plenty of parking. I liked the feel when I walked into the store, the culture seems simpler and sleeker than it once was. The store is big, clean, and beautiful. It looked like they still offer many of the same services they had prior to the Amazon acquisition. Today, I was there for the meat department. I made my way over and asked if the fish they had on display were the only whole fish they had. They said it was. I ordered two Branzini's (sea bass) and Mark asked if I wanted anything done to them. I asked him to remove the scales, so he did just that. He bagged and wrapped them up for me. I then shopped for a few other items I had on my list. The produce and meat departments sections are beautiful. I like the options they have on their isles. They had a few checkers open. The customer service gal pulled me over and checked me out. I paid $33 for my two fish. I didn't feel that wasn't a bad price considering you could easily pay $60 for one filet at a nice restaurant. I will have to stop in more often for some more fresh fish or other nice looking seafood they have.

Overall: St. James is the most well known high tea experience in Albuquerque for a reason. Although…read moreexpensive, they make the entire experience worth it from service to food and tea. I have been to St. James at least 4 times now. The food is brought out on a 3-tiered serving tray, and there is a tea that corresponds to each tier. They bring out a new tea as you finish each tier. Each time, the menu has been delicious. I appreciate that you can choose your dietary restrictions and tea option (caffeinated, herbal, non-caffeinated) when you make the reservation. Generally, we have enjoyed choosing different tea options for everyone as that allows us to try multiple teas with each course. The service is excellent. Our server is always attentive and very nice.

The servers are always polite and attentive. The food is fresh and tastes great. I like how you have a 2 hour time slot, so you can pace yourself and conversations off that window. The ambiance is intimate and we enjoy the colonial setting.
