When I contacted Crystal about making an anniversary cake for my parents, I asked about customizing…read morethe flavor. Her immediate response was "no problem!" She wasn't kidding! She created a strawberry bourbon masterpiece that was both gorgeous AND delicious! My parents were absolutely delighted with this scrumptious sensation. Her price was incredibly reasonable, and Crystal was so easy to work with. You should order from her before she's too busy to take your order. We are already planning our next event just to order from her again! Thank you so much Crystal!

I'm from out of town and was looking for a DeKalb bakery for a special dessert for an extended…read morefamily celebration. I'm SO glad that I found Crystal's Bakery!!! It was VERY short notice, but Crystal responded to my inquiries quickly, was able to make suggestions that worked for a quick turn around AND some specific requests! We settled on summer-y strawberry topped cupcakes that were PERFECT - the topping was light and refreshing (not overbearingly sweet like so many commercial desserts these days). A delicious ending for our celebratory dinner!!

The day of the event, everything was ready to go the moment we walked in the store and the staff provided everything we needed. The food was very good and the cake was outstanding.

Deanna created a beautiful card game cake for a wedding that I was in. Everyone loved the design and taste. What I love most is that Sweet Dreams cakes are with buttercream icing rather than fondant. Overall, this place is great. Sylvia F.

This is a nice place to get a fresh meal. We dropped in for lunch. The interior is sprinkled with…read morethe work of local artists which you can buy. There are books to read (and you can drop some off too), games to play, and good food. We arrived and took a minute to take in the extensive menu. I had their Courthouse Blues, which is Roast Beef with Cheddar with some blue cheese on it - hot, and my wife had their breakfast bagel with sausage, egg and cheese. Once you order, you find a place to sit and they bring the food out to you. Fountain drinks and regular coffee get refills as long as you are there (if you leave no refills, which surprised me that they had to post a sign saying that, since it's pretty much the rule). Service was prompt and pleasant, the food was very good, and it's such a nice location with parking available in a lot to the west. What's not to love?

We were in the area looking for a new place to eat lunch and this one came up on my Yelp search…read more What a cute little restaurant next to a banquet / meeting hall. They have music playing in the background. The room is nice and cold and a great break from the hot outside weather. You may have to bring a sweater if you don't like it too cold. It is a very clean, comfortable, and relaxing atmosphere. Our waitress was really sweet and helped me pick out one of the simple sandwiches. There are lots of food items and love that they have fresh baked cookies too. My husband ordered the Corned Beef Hash with eggs over easy. Pancakes without powdered sugar and sugar free syrup. I ordered the simple sandwich - Turkey Everything was delicious If your in the area, come and give this restaurant a try, you won't be disappointed.

Checked out The Lincoln Inn while in town for camp at the college…read more It's a nice spot, and the food was good. We started with two cups of cream of chicken rice soup and was surprised that this bakery didn't offer rolls with the soup, so I chose to use the toast from the meal I ordered. It worked perfectly. I will add that soup was served barely lukewarm. Not ideal, but we ate it. Next, we ordered a Tuna Melt with fries and a Lincoln Inn Special. We both agreed the food was good. Our server was very nice. She was attentive and assisted when asked. We also ordered the Strawberry Crepes to go. But we couldn't stop there, lol. While at the register, there were cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls, so we grabbed one of each. We enjoyed those a little later while we waited for our child who was at the camp. Both were delicious! I think it's great how the photos of many years are going across the walls and that they support the local college and their sports. Such a nice touch. There was a gentleman who came over and introduced himself and asked if I knew anyone in the photos. I do not recall his name. He was kind and told me about the photos and about how he created one in particular which was rather impressive.
