The chocolate flan was next level amazing, it tasted like flan was married to a tres leches chocolate cake.

You'll also find seasonal items that are reflective of the berries, apples, and fruits harvested in Western North Carolina throughout the year. They have an small staff that is usually very friendly and attentive. Whether you're in town for a weekend getaway or an extended period of time you'll feel like a local when you walk in. Make sure to check their hours and days to make sure they're open, as they are closed for a few days every week. So plan according! ; ) One of our favorite loyalty programs is their old school punch card for Lattes that seem to rotate flavors on a daily basis. After you get to 10 or so they'll give you a free one, which is a fun incentive in our family for sure! Guten Appetit!

We were walking around downtown Brevard and stopped by this small town bakery. We got a peach…read moredanish, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and treats for our pup. We enjoyed the peach danish, but the cookie left for more to be desired, just not something I would get again. Our dog loved his treats - but know they are definitely on the very hard and crunchy side if your dog is particular about their treats. I recommend if you are in the area by stopping by this cute bakery.

Here we go again!!! Another review spurred by a lovely Yelper liking my pictures. Thank you Rose…read moreD. For jarring my memory and giving me memories to fix not writing a great review for this place. We traveled to Brevard back in 2022 for one of our annual leaf viewing tours. Fun fact about Brevard! There are white squirrels everywhere. There are also regular brown squirrels too. My wife told me about this before we got here but it's strange, there are so many of them. One of the oddest things I find is that there are no mixed squirrels. Like kinda brown, or kinda white, it's either one or the other. They hang together, surely they get it on. What the hell is going on here?!?!? Where did they come from? Why haven't they spread to other areas?? Anyway.... About this bakery. We stopped by here a few times for meals and snacks. Most of it was just pretty good and nothing to really write home (lol) about. I did not know this at the time and did not truly savor the moment well enough. I had the absolute best pastry I have ever had in my life here. I often think back to it and when I see a similar looking pastry only to be let down when I try it. It was the scone to beat all other scones!!! So freaking good!! Orange Pistachio Coriander was the flavor and nothing will ever beat it I am afraid!! If you make it here, check out the white squirrels. There are even gift shops dedicated to them and I swear they have little signs all over town about them. Also.... Mantiques is right down the way. Great shopping!! '22 - I can't even remember, lol.

Scone doesn't have a lot of sugar and taste off when it's cold. I asked the staff if they could…read moreheat it up and they told me their oven is only used in the morning. So I asked to exchange for a different item since it's pretty much inedible and they told me they couldn't do that or give me a refund. That's fine but I didn't feel that the staff cared at all to make the situation right so 1 star

I ordered an allergy-free cake for my sister. It was delicious, not dry, slightly sweet, and…read moreamazing! Sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, corn-free, soy-free. I know you're thinking, "there's no way that tasted good" but it did! My sis has lots of food sensitivities that cause her auto-immune eczema to break out so we avoid all those allergens. My sister LOVED this cake! I wanted a special cake for her 30th since she hasn't eaten cake in 5 years! Christine from Baking Sweet Scents was up to the challenge and spent time with me listing ingredients so we were completely sure it was safe. I really appreciated the time and effort. Christine also deals with some allergens so she understands the difficulties. I selected the chocolate almond flour cake, double layered, semi-naked, with stevia instead of sugar, and macarons on top to be nestled into the specific flowers I wanted, gladiolus for August birthday month. The cost for this custom cake with all the specific ingredients was so reasonable. I will be ordering another smaller one for my grandmother's 80th who also avoids sugar and gluten. I see this trend becoming popular, thanks Christine!

The team allowed us to do a tasting to choose our flavors, which was the perfect set up. It was a hard choice but we decided on the peaches and cream and pumpkin spice for our cake. I shared my inspo picture of a very intricate cake (which was literally AI), but Cardamom replicated it and made it an even more beautiful, real cake. I could not be happier with our cake. It represents my husband and me; our last name is Wren so there are beautiful wren birds represented on our cake. I highly recommend Cardamom Bakeshop to anyone and everyone!!

He started eating it as soon as we got in the car so that's why I only have a pic of part of the cookie. He saved the cheesecake for dessert that evening. He said it was delicious. I had half of the macaron this morning. I probably should have eaten it right away because it was a little dry. Also, I'm comparing it to actual French macarons I ate it Paris. It didn't measure up to the real thing. It is a quaint shop with a couple of tables if you want to eat there. There is a nice variety of cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, chocolates, desserts and cookies. Great place to go if you are creating a Dessert Charcuterie Board. Since the hubby is the one with the sweet tooth I'm basing my scoring on his comments.

I've already stopped by here a couple times, so I think it's about time for a review…read more Most of the process is done without any human interaction, unless you get the rare occasion that somebody is available, you're going to be putting your order into a tablet. Everything is super clean and almost empty up front. But the colors are really nice and the process is pretty simple. They have about six available flavors any given day, and they frequently rotate. Just recently they started the mini cookies, which is great because I buy these for my staff and sometimes they don't want a giant cookie. So having a mini cookie gives them the option of having a taste of something without having to commit to the whole thing. Usually delicious, these cookies make an impression and are even great for gifts. Gifts. They have gift wrapping available as well. I rated four stars due to the lack of interaction with the staff, and sometimes if you get them on a bad day they're kind of standoffish. But thankfully, most of your interaction is digital and they just hand you your order. Usually they'll give you a smile. I would definitely recommend just ordering ahead and picking up so you can enjoy these cookies!
