I had heard good things about T Distefano's bakery before and happened to be in Mebane for the day…read more I'm so glad I was because everything we tried was delicious. The shop has the display cases right when you walk in the door and there is a little cafe area off to the right which seemed cute. We were greeted when we walked in and the girl who helped us gave us plenty of time while we decided what to order. I asked what her favorite thing was that they had and she told me the danishes or the cheesecakes. I ended up ordering several things to try: a glazed donut, glazed raspberry filled donut, powdered raspberry filled donut, cheese danish, chocolate chip cookie, and cinnamon roll. The donuts and cinnamon roll were given to family who already knew how good the donuts were and we tried the chocolate chip cookie and cheese danish. The chocolate chip cookie was huge, chewy, and had a great flavor. I think my favorite thing I tried was the cheese danish. The dough was buttery and the filling wasn't too sweet. It was a great suggestion from the girl working there. Also, all of this was under $18 which is crazy. Will definitely be coming back.

We stopped by the bakery on our way home from Winston Salem and met the delightful mom of the baker herself. One thing I really like is there's not a TON of frosting on the cupcakes, but more of a reasonable amount, just like Mama used to make. Everything looked wonderful so we placed an order for 3 dozen mini cupcakes and they Delivered them!! They were an absolute hit at the party & one guest, who normally is very careful about what she eats, had six mini cupcakes!! Everyone loved them and wanted to know where we got them and all the details. The frosting on the carrot cakes is cream cheese and was divine! The lemon was everyone's favorite and the snicker doodle with chocolate fudge icing was to die for! I'd give them 10 stars if I could!!

All we wanted was an almond cake with fresh strawberry filling. Cool. I pick it up and there are no strawberries on top and when we cut into it, it's raspberry. I called and they asked how to make it right so I asked for the correct cake I had ordered and I'd pick it up in a few days as we were headed out of town for her bday. Pick up the new cake and the filling was like Walmart jam. It was so bad. I'm sad because I trusted them and always try to support small business but never again.
