    Got it. 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.

    We visited Once in a Blue Moon for a wedding cake sampler, and unfortunately the experience was a…read moremixed bag that ultimately ruled them out for us. On the positive side, the flavors themselves were solid overall. The icing was tasty, and while the cake was decent, it leaned a bit dry, which was already giving us pause given this was meant to showcase their best work. What really ended the conversation for us was a major quality issue. Two of the icing sample balls each had a very long hair in them. It was immediately noticeable and extremely off-putting. At that point, we lost confidence and couldn't bring ourselves to continue sampling, let alone consider trusting them with something as important as a wedding cake. Between the dryness of the cake and the hair issue, we ultimately decided to go in a different direction. Not terrible flavor-wise, but the experience as a whole was disappointing and fell short for such a high-stakes purchase.

    "VERY hole-in-the-wall Middle Eastern patisserie"…read more This gives hole-in-the-wall new meaning. The location is in a strip-mall that's set back a ways from 55, so it's not really visible from the street at all. However, it's weirder than that-- you have to drive AROUND the strip mall to the back, past the various loading docks for other stores, and they you see this place is open just from the BACK of the strip mall. I heard the owner is Algerian, but there are many Palestinian references and flags around the shop, so if that's triggering, then know this in advance before coming in. Still, the place is brightly lit and airy, with tables to eat. They do custom cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts, but we just wanted to sample some sweets. Hours are funny-- just midday Friday through Sunday. We ordered a pecan brownie and a pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa (shredded Middle Eastern pastry), as well as a mocha coffee. The mocha coffee was rich and delicious, as expected. The pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa was to-die-for... SO delicious. Super thick and messy, as you'd hope it would be. And of course the pecan brownie was amazing. I will say the pastries are not "cheap". I got a single tahini chocolate chip cookie to go for a friend, and that was $4.50 for a modest sized cookie. The other dishes above were in the $6 range. But these are unusual custom-made dishes, so it's fair.

I always want the fish sandwich but they don't have the fish I want (picky! ). My son got the chicken sandwich which was really great. The bun was so fresh. My FIL got the Benedict. It was huge. Fruit cups all around. Huge chunks of pineapple. My son and I got the lemonade spritz. It was too sweet me but my son enjoyed both of ours.

    Still giving Guglhupf four stars mainly for the relaxing vibe and beautiful atmosphere with all the…read moreplants, but lowering the bakery stars to a 3.7 for the quality and price. I still love the fruit tart - good texture and mix of sweet and slightly tart. The macaron and elephant ear was pretty good. The macaron had good flavor and texture. Elephant ears tasted good, though I would've preferred more layers and more of a crisp. Lemon poppy danish was the standard danish. I sadly wasn't as impressed by the cream puff and eclair dough. I know they make their pastries fresh every day but on a busy Saturday at 10:30 am, the eclair dough didn't taste fresh and was not as light and airy as I hoped. Cream puff was ok. The dough was also meh. BUT the focaccia was amazing!! It was on-sale day old bread but had great flavor and was soft on the inside and slightly crispy in the outside. All in all, for what's in the area and restaurant's atmosphere, it's still worth the trip.

    Paris Baguette is located in the Cary Village Square shopping center. It is known for its…read moreFrench-inspired pastries, breads and cakes. There is plenty of free parking. I wasn't sure what to expect when I entered, but the pastries are self-serve: you get a tray and tongs, select what you want, then go to the front to pay. The cakes and specialty items are in a case at the front of the store. Breads and pre-made sandwiches were available near the front. Coffees and teas are available too. I think every item on the menu was available, and someone was adding more items to the self-serve areas while I was there. I liked the variety of items. I went with a chocolate chip cookie, a pain au chocolat, a pineapple brûlée, and a salted caramel pretzel croissant crisp. The seating inside seemed small for how busy they were midday, but that might be the environment they are looking for. Next time I am in the area, I will try some other treats.

    It's a bit intimidating when coming in at first. So many pastries to choose from. I got the…read morestrawberry croissant and the cream filling was perfect. I had initially planned on just eating half of it to save the other half for the next day, but I couldn't help myself from finishing the whole thing in one sitting. That's how good it was. I also ordered the salted caramel pretzel matcha latte and asked for a regular size. The staff gave me the largest 20oz. I was a bit confused since I was expecting a smaller size when I first tried to order from the app, but I heard him say the other size was 24oz so I thought 20oz was the smallest they had. Looking back at the app, they did have a smaller 12oz size, a 16oz size, and no 24oz size. Anyways, I just didn't drink the whole thing. The store is clean, well-organized, and the staff is friendly and efficient, even when it's busy. I wonder what they do with the pastries that are not sold by the end of the day / expiration date. They removed everything in the middle aisle pastry cases while I was there. I hope they don't just throw them away. They could probably use TooGoodToGo - just saying.
