Everything looked good, and the young lady behind the counter provided immediate service. We had the eclairs and the Napoleons. The eclairs were excellent with good flavor and texture. They were smaller than what I think of as a standard size for an eclair, but we would get them again. The Napoleons were another matter. The layers of flaky puff pastry were soft and limp, not flaky and a bit crunchy as they should be. Perhaps the Napoleons had sat too long in the display case, and the pastry absorbed liquid from the custard layers. We would not buy a Napoleon there again.

The crust was thick, firm and delicious as the whipped cream... and the spread of custard. After wiping off the 1" of whipped cream there was very little custard.. like they ran out and filled the rest with whipped cream- you would think for key lime it would be filled up to the top of the crust. But unfortunately it's not even worth it... The strawberry cream water, was just vanilla custard.. a huge amount of whipped cream and 4 sliced strawberries... so why is it labeled strawberry not vanilla custard with strawberries.... Just beware if it's got whipped cream, you ain't getting what you paid for

High quality, great taste, and great value. I'm not sure how there's not a line out there door here…read more- probably because we came on a Sunday. I just spent 3 weeks in Hawaii, and this loco moco is amazing. Yeah, they aren't hard to get right, but the thing that stands out here is the hand-made (non-frozen) smash-style hamburger patties. Since the price was very reasonable, I thought I should order a second patty. Well, that was totally unnecessary, as the portions were already very generous. But I guess if you're really hungry and a competitive eater you might be able to finish this. I failed. Then there's the taro bread. Addictive and beautiful. I'd share a picture but it's gone. You can taste the butter on the bottom. It's light and fluffy, and purple. You can tell a lot of pride goes into the cooking here. It's a nice relaxed atmosphere, so if you want a chill vibe, good quality food, and reasonable prices, I totally recommend.

Whoever put up the signs that say, "Try a fermented cookie!" and "The very best chocolate chip…read morecookie!" is a genius. I HAD to try one of these cookies strictly because the signs were enticing me to do so. The cookie was okay. Probably not the best chocolate chip cookie but not the worst. It was more on the cakey side and did have an acidic bite to it, which was unique. However, the sourdough bread is what really won me over! I was able to sample the regular, honey wheat, and dark bread and all were easily some of the best sourdough I've ever had. Crusty but airy, slightly acidic and full of flavor. It was delicious! I'd recommend visiting this bakery for the bread, the friendly and helpful staff, and the smells. (The smell of freshly baked sourdough bread fills the tiny shop from wall to wall.)

This is a unique shop is using time-tested methods in their fermentation, producing a bread that has depth of flavor that also packs a sour punch. The bakers explained that their fermentation methods result in a bread that is consumable by those with a gluten intolerance. We tested the breads available that day, each with their own distinct flavors and loved them, so I would like to know about the experience of other with a gluten intolerance. This charming shop also caries a variety of farm-to table goods like honey, sour cream, goat milk caramels, vegan cheese, milk, fudge, and freeze dried fruits and veggies. So when you head to downtown Provo, stop into the Time Traveler's Baker and get yourself some true sourdough.

It wasn't cloyingly sweet where it would make your stomach sick, which is what you might think when you saw it! Most of the donuts there were filled donuts and I'm not a huge fan of filled donuts because most of the time the combination of the donut and the filling does make you feel sick after eating one. But I heard the check out lady talking about how they made the cream for the donut I tried and I knew it was the one for me! I do wish they had options like a plain chocolate cake donut with chocolate icing. But this is more of a gourmet shop than your local, average donut shop, so I understand why they don't. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because the checkout lady was a bit scatter brained and didn't ask me if I wanted a receipt. When I asked for one she got even more flustered and couldn't figure out how to give me one and basically said oh well - you just can't have one. I wanted the receipt so I could turn it in to google surveys which pays me money for taking surveys and uploading my receipts. So I was kind of irritated.

Very good doughnuts. When I want a doughnut, these are exactly the kind I look for--just sweet enough, good flavor, great dough, and a good selection. My only gripe is they tend to run out of stuff. But that's okay because I don't always need a doughnut. Or do I? read more

We asked for coconut cake, vanilla buttercream, lime curd filling, heart-shaped, with an image on top and some written piping. We picked it up and the frosting looked great, but the top isn't what we asked for. We say something; the person working goes in the back and calls someone. She comes back and says they couldn't get the piping to look good, so they decided to print the whole top as an image instead, and if we had questions to email. We were both shocked they made that call without consulting us. We email, say we weren't happy with the look, and that we'd consider it resolved if they refunded the rush fee, which they did. Their reply said they hadn't realized the piping was a hard requirement, and that on short notice they'd made the call to print it with the logo instead, for ease and to stay close to the inspo image. Worth noting: we'd confirmed the piping twice, once in the initial order, and again the weekend before, to make sure it was doable. So why they decided it wasn't important is anyone's guess. I'm of the opinion that using a rush as an excuse only works if you don't charge for the rush. If they can't fulfill a rush order as specified, they shouldn't take it, or they should at least call, at which point I'd have given them several options (including just doing a plain cake) before printing the entire top. It looked extremely cheap. Then came time to actually eat it: embarrassingly, no one at the party finished their slice. Off texture, no coconut flavor, and the lime curd was overwhelming. I do want to highlight that the exterior frosting was really good, but the inside just wasn't. Combined with the unprofessional, cheap-looking top, this was an extremely embarrassing experience for me as the person who coordinated and presented it to the company. They did refund us that $50, so I didn't want to email again, even though we were unhappy with the entire experience. I couldn't in good conscience recommend a custom cake from Alisha's for a future event, though it seems we are an outlier and I know they do better work than this.
