    Apple Fritters
    Emily A.

    We stopped here on a Monday at 3:15 when looking for any sort of sweet road trip treat. This was one of the very few places around us that was open. I love the cute pink building with drive thru window, but the donuts were very average. The woman at the window said she ran out of mostly everything which I thought was a sign that we picked a good place. The donuts were dry unfortunately but I would be curious to try this place earlier in the day. It could be because they were sitting out too long. The icing on the choclate was very good! The apple fritter had no real apples or crunchiness to it that I like. It was more just a dense cinnamon sugar flavor.

    Staff is super nice and helpful! I called on a late Friday afternoon to see what donut flavors were available and the young lady ran down the list to me. She even offered to put donuts to the side for me , if I wanted her to. I declined because I ended up visiting the next day. No problem. Saturday was a busy day for donuts! I was greeted immediately and assisted by a gentleman. I only saw three donuts I was interested in. Red velvet w/t coconut and pecan(kinda dry), original glazed (good...not too sweet / light and airy) and lemon filled ( enjoyed and would order again). All for a little over $5. Decent prices. The donuts weren't anything special but decent. I don't regret making the quick trip over to Gardendale , AL as I had been wanting to try this donut shop. I do like that they offer a huge variety of donuts , apple fritters , tiramisu and even cheesecake!! Lots to unpack but I think it's worth trying this donut shop. Grab you some coffee while you're there! I will next time. The staff is the reason for the 4 star review. Very good first impression and initial visit.

    The gentleman was very welcoming and also let us know about items available that were not on the menus. They also have empanadas, you can order custom cakes

    A nice, little donut shop. Good assortment of tasty donuts. Note, though, they run out of Bavarian cream early. That was the only downer...

    They happily made me a couple of vanilla cream filled from blanks they had in the back.

    We went in on a Sunday afternoon when the bakery was serving tacos. These were DELICIOUS! Very…read moreauthentic and well spiced. You can choose between a couple of different meats with or without cheese. The concha was also great. It is a little far out from me, but I will definitely be returning on Sundays!

    So I have been following the owner of this Bakery for some time before she opened this location and…read moreknew about the location for some time but have not gone because it was out of my way. I notice they were posting that they were going to be open on certain days for breakfast and decided to stop by on my way to work. So being that is winter season she had some warm tamales, burritos, variety of fresh bread, cake slices, cupcakes and champurrado- It is a traditional Mexican chocolate drink that is thickened with pinole (ground maize flour), Cinnamon, whole clove, and star anise (keep in mind that there are a variety of versions). On my stop I bought some tamales and champurrado. I really enjoyed the champurrado, it was just perfect not to sweet and not to bland and enough consistency on the thick side. As for the tamales, I order their chicken with red salsa, cheese with jalapeno salsa and chicken with Mole (traditional Mexican thick sauce). I have to say that I have had better, but I have to keep in mind that there are a variety of tamales and all are done differently. So to me they were decent and it will all depend on each person palette if they like. I was disappointed in not getting some of their fresh bread but did not want it sitting at my desk all day, but will update the review once I try it and their cakes (which I already placed an order and will post pictures). There menu may change either by season or new added bread, pastries or delicious sweets, so keep that in mind and would suggest to go in and look. P.S...They also have homemade ice cream, but because of the cold weather, I did not even bother getting tempted.

    I wanted to use today's food review post to show case this stumbled upon business. As I do almost…read moreevery Saturday morning I like to get up and head to the farmers market to see what new things I can find and this particular day I went to the Trussville Fresh Farmers market that had finally opened and it was close to home. As we walked through the farmers market looking at all the cool things we came across Velvet Kake LLC. It's a black owned business but that's not why we were drawn to it. I mean look at all the delicious baked good treats she had nearly everything you could think of and I was so surprised Auntie (not my real Auntie) said all these items were baked that morning. Yall we didn't get there till a little after 8am. Think about that for a second. Impressive right?! Anyways this post is getting long so real quick this is what I personally bought. Peanut Butter Cake: yall this was so freaking good it was hands down probably one of the softest moistest piece of cake I have ever had and I give it a good 9.8/10 I also got the chocolate chip cookies. For the size of these things they were good and soft. Not much to say. I love a good cookie and it was made exactly how I like them and for that 9.5/10. I plan to go back and purchase more goods that's for sure. Please if you can go support this lady and her business however you can. You can find Velvet Kake LLC on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, and X (Twitter). They have a website link but the website no longer works. But I believe there may be an email somewhere. Address: 2466 Old Springville Rd, Birmingham, AL 35215 Phone Number: 205-407-4330

    The customer service I received was so personable. I really enjoyed getting to know the owner and…read moreseeing some of her work. She is also an amazing custom cake designer. I was blown away! I purchased some red velvet cupcakes and a slice of pound cake. This was some of the BEST pound cake I've ever had! Whew .... Go get you a slice!!! The cupcakes weren't for me but they were okay. I'm not a red velvet fan , so yeah. I will say, they were a nice size and very pretty. Worth the price for sure! Prices were very reasonable. I wanted to buy a cinnamon roll , some cookies and a cake slice. All of her baked goodies looked soooooo good. I will definitely be back to get more pound cake and some cookies . What the heck , I might get one of everything in the shop!! Stay tuned .....
