This was not quite what I expected. They have a very tiny display. A small amount of space, and the rest is their baking area and freezer. I was told they have good gluten free options here, but they only have a few flavors of cupcakes. This place is great is you have all sorts of allergies. Gluten and Diary, Diary and nut? Any combination, they seem to have available. BUT... they are all kept in the freezer. I assume they would not be fresh otherwise, they probably don't get a large amount of business coming in and out regularly. They do not seem very friendly. I'm not sure if it was the owner, or not, but she did seem bothered to have to deal with us. Gluten Free cupcake should be avoided if you high standards. Regular cupcakes should be avoided as well, you can find better cupcakes at the grocery store. Frosting tastes synthetic. I would recommend this place for someone with allergies. I know they often struggle to find places to accommodate them. read more

Never been to a more unfriendly place. I felt like I was putting them out to buy something. Ask if they had any zucchini bread and it was frozen.

Take out | Other | $20-30 I have brought from this place several times through the years!!! I established a tradition with my kids, when they were little. I found this place, and for all but 2 times the cookies were delicious, cooked to perfection. But unfortunately once last year at this time, and again yesterday. The cookie was not cooked all the way through. Raw cookie dough........it is always on my daughter Alexis birthday too. The ones I got in November where amazing last year. Any way the lady was very nasty on the phone, rude........and would not give me a refund or a credit!!! Unbelievable!!!???? Seriously this is bad business!!! And was very rude......she told me they cook the cookie the same way all the time. I said no you dont we have gotten many from you, absolutely delicious!!! She said take your business elsewhere!!! I was blown away. Have brought dozens of cupcakes here as well. Always delicious!! So beware.........NOTHING SWEET ABOUT THIS CAKERY as far as service I'd give her a zero!!!

This is a bakery that doesn't understand the difference between fresh and frozen. They think it's the same. Also, half of anything you order is gross frosting. They don't even know how to make good frosting. It's just that cheap stuff where they mix powdered sugar together with shortening or butter. read more

We came in looking for 3 dozen cupcakes in 2 weeks. We sampled the lemon, red velvet, and peanut butter. One of the owners helped us personally and ran through their whole menu. They were nice enough to let us taste them in the store even though they're not really set up for dine-in. We got the special treatment despite being first time customers with a small order. We really liked all of the ones we tried and bought a German chocolate one for later. The peanut butter frosting was amazing, would definitely buy that if it wasn't for our small wedding. The cream cheese frosting on the red velvet was out of this world. The lemon cake was dense and rich. Since we were ordering in advance, they slowed us to mix and match frosting with cake flavors and offered to color the butter cream frosting for us. They were happy to customize for our needs. The price per large cupcake was very reasonable. They have a cold case with drinks. Super friendly owners, great product, and fair prices, if it were just easier to find, it would be perfect. Yelp/Google directions sent us around the back side of the block where there was very little parking. Worth the trip in any case. read more

We purchased 30 wonderful cupcakes for my wife's 75th surprise birthday party. They were delicious and a big hit for our guests. We live in Saddlebrook just north of the Oro Valley, so the drive to the location of Our Sweet Lil Cakery was just over an hour each way. The drive was well worth it and quality superb. They were a big hit. I brought with me a cooler with ice to preserve the cupcakes during the return drive and it worked well and maintained the excellent appearance and taste of the cupcakes. Several of our guests asked about the bakery and I have passed only the contact information. The cupcakes are beautiful and moist and very, very tasty. Have fun. We did. Keith S. read more

Who doesn't love cupcakes?!?! Just the right balance of density, sugar and all over goodness. We had been going going going all day and those cupcakes were very much needed (it really wasn't a "want" at that moment, but a necessity LOL). The ladies in the shop were delightful. I always run in and out of that area and today I just stopped when I saw someone coming out of the door with what seemed to be pastries...let the dessert frenzy begin! Try them for yourself. The German chocolate is my next cupcake. The banana cream was good. Enjoy! read more

We live in NJ and contacted this bakery that we found on line. We wanted to send birthday cupcakes to my mother in law for her 80th birthday. I dealt directly with Brenda, who is one of the owners, and she was so nice, and treated us as if we ordered 100 cupcakes. we only ordered 12. She personally delivered the cakes to our mom on her birthday, and included a written note. where we're from, we don't get that type of service where we live. We love this brand and service and will be using this company again. BTW, mom says they are the best cupcakes she's ever had, and she's been eating cupcakes for 80 years.

These Pastries Should Probably Be Illegal…read more Prep & Pastry has been serving Tucson since 2014, and after eating here, I completely understand why they've built such a loyal following. This review is only about the pastries because the rest of their menu deserves an entirely separate review. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light and airy everything was. Every bite felt fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting wasn't overly sweet, and nothing tasted heavy or overwhelming. As I've gotten older, I've become much more conscious about what I eat. Surprisingly, these pastries never leave me with that "I shouldn't have done that" feeling. They're indulgent without being excessive. Now let's address the real issue... I always buy two. Not because I'm planning ahead. Because I know exactly what's going to happen if I don't. I'll eat one in the parking lot, sit there for a minute pretending I'm satisfied, then make what is almost certainly an illegal U-turn and head back inside for another. At this point, I believe the owners should stand trial in a savory Food Court of Law. Dun... Dun... "In the Criminal Food Justice System, pastry-based crimes are considered especially delicious.

It was delicious and you can definitely taste banana especially in the cold foam. Matcha was nice and strong and bitter which I love. They have gelato but obvious not popular as in another window with no labels on any of the flavors nor was there a menu for it. My issue is the inside. Yes it's beautiful amazing decor and table setting. It's located near U of A so many students were at the table. No place to sit for actual customers. Students camped out with laptops so all tables were taken. At one point while we are there someone from a different tea place came in took a table with outside drinks and didn't even order anything. Just used it for the WiFi for their laptop. Disappointing they don't regulate for actual customers. Sour taste for sure of this experience.

This is a smooth cup of coffee, from a surprising location. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and…read morecould not have been more happy with the finished product. At Crema, they use one big ice cube that resembles one found in a whiskey on the rocks. A large part of me thinks that the finished product can be attributed to the fact that virtually nothing is watered down. The barista was incredibly kind and inviting from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. Because of this, I can get past the sparse seating options that made it feel a little hollow. There weren't a ton of people seated, but it seemed like a good, quiet place to work. More people need to know about this tucked away little place.

I remember they had this whole thing where they didn't abide by Covid restrictions (thought maybe they changed). I got a simple iced coffee and it wasn't good at all. I saw two familiar faces that I recognized I went to church with when I would go. They weren't the nicest people at all to me (I was in highschool) so I remember leaving partly because of them. I meant to post this in February.

Unfortunately, the service felt a bit cold, no one acknowledged me, and the staff didn't seem very welcoming or engaged. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which came unsweetened. No one mentioned that ahead of time or pointed out where the sweeteners were, so I had to look around for them myself. The matcha had a nice flavor, but the texture was a bit grainy, suggesting it might not be the highest quality. Also, the bathrooms are located all the way in the back, and there isn't enough signage to guide you there easily. Overall, it has a lot of charm and a great location, but the customer experience could definitely be improved.

Oh, and my favorite drink is the turmeric ginger infusion. Yes I know it's probably just something I could buy and make myself, but the point is that I don't have to do that -- I can just go to Time Market and have them do it for me! It is very small so keep that in mind. Their outside area is great. If there's an event at the University you might not be able to get a seat, so just have a plan b for that. I also love the grocery area. They have some items here that you can't find anywhere else in town, such as specialty chocolates and certain brands and flavors of ice cream. They also have some basics like produce and meat. It's worth a visit and you can walk to it from both the 4th avenue area as well as the main gate area.

We decided to grab 4 different pies by the slice. - Blueberry Sour Cream Pie: my first time trying a sour cream pie and now may be my favorite pie from here; fluffy, tangy, and feels like a lighter and less sweet version of other cream pies; the graham cracker style crust was so good too - Banana Cream Pie: flaky crust with whole banana slices lining the bottom of the banana cream - Sweet Potato Pie: we've had this one before, a hint of spice and smooth filling - Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie: we've also had this one before; richer than the other pies but good if you want something more decadent Recommend stopping by if you're looking for pies by the slice!

We tried four different ones: coconut cream pie, chocolate cream pie, blueberry pie, and chocolate cake. The coconut cream pie and chocolate cream pie were our absolute favorites--they were perfectly balanced, not too sweet, just right. We came back once again. The pies were just as perfect as last time--couldn't get enough of that coconut cream and chocolate cream pie. Finally, we've found a spot here in Tucson that can satisfy our pie cravings! The location was great, and the owner was so cheerful and welcoming. We'll definitely be coming back for more!

You really wouldn't see this place driving down Wilmot because it's tucked behind two businesses, with 4 fifteen minutes parking spots designated for the shop. It's a small little pie shop and all pies are six inch mini pies for $7.99. Many are topped with pipped whipped cream unless you order a double crust fruit pie or quiche. I think I've sampled every pie. The size is perfect to split with someone. No drinks or other things are available here, but one can purchase drinks down the way at Beyond Bread. The staff are always getting customers rung up and out quick. Because the space is so small you go in the entrance, order your pies and then go out an exit door. There's no room for meandering or window shopping. You just wait your turn to look and order right away and I rung up the whole space is quite small nonetheless it's fun to go there and get a little treat now and again. And today was one of those days. My mom and I parked while my sister was checking out Bookmans. We picked out a pie to share, went to the patio to eat it, and it was good.
