OK so let's get one thing straight...these are possibly the best tasting cakes you will ever have. If you have not been yet, then you have to make it a serious priority to get there ASAP! I recently discovered this location at Lennox and I became the Duke in less than a month because I can't stop going there to get these delicious cakes!
They have a wide array of cakes that will suit all types; Double chocolate chip for the chocoholics, red velvet, gluten free chocolate chip, Lemon, white chocolate raspberry, carrot, etc. Funfett (Confetti) is by far the best one and I'm so sad that it's only a Limited Time Offer cake. I would LOVE to see it join the permanent cake selection. Their buttercream icing is to die for. I would like to see them get one or two more icing flavors in the future, but since vanilla is my favorite frosting, I don't really have that many complaints on it.
My number one tip for NBC is to wait until the cakes are room temperature to enjoy. I had a few coworkers get me NBC for Christmas or my bday and I was an idiot in thinking that these needed refrigerated so I'd eat them straight out of the fridge. They are good when eaten cold but mind blowing when eaten at room temp. It makes such a huge difference. Trust me!
These cakes are deserving of five stars all around. They cannot be beat. BUT for a bakery, these places have the WORST hours ever!! They act like they're a damn bank! M-F they are open 9-6. I need to be at work at 9 and I get off work at 530. I'd be lucky if I barely made it there by 6. They are closed Sundays and then Saturdays they are open 10-6. So literally the only day I can ever get there is Saturdays. I wonder how much business they turn away just because of their hours. Most people need bakery items early in the morning to be able to take it to work or late at night to pick up for a bday party (and many bday parties happen Sundays). The hours thing just kills me which is why I can never give any location 5 stars. It makes me sad that I can never get this for someone's bday unless their bday falls on a Saturday.
Also, this location kind of annoyed me one time I went. I had a Groupon worth $20 and after my purchase I was only supposed to owe $1.25, but when I saw my bank statement, she charged me $4.25. I called in and complained and she said that I'd have to come in to get it fixed. I got super annoyed because I was going to be in Disney that weekend so I couldn't come in that Saturday; the earliest I could get there would be two weeks from then and she really could have cared less. I ended up not even dealing with it. It was only $3, but it's the principle (otherwise, why did I waste money on a Groupon to save money only to get overcharged!) Also, there was another time when an associate made an error when ringing me out but caught it right before I swiped my card. So be sure to 100% check your receipt before you leave since they seem to make errors at this location.
But all in all, make sure you get to a NBC. Doesn't need to be this location, but you absolutely have to try these cakes!! read more
