    Dry almond cake with artificial tasting raspberry filling
    C W.

    Feeling nostalgic, I ordered a small almond flavored white cake with raspberry filling to pick up today 7/3/2020, for a small gathering tomorrow. 12 years ago, I was at Reeves for a cake tasting and was quite pleased. I ordered over the phone and that was fine. I was so excited about the cake, I wanted to try a slice prior to my guests as no one would ever know. So, I wanted to taste each part of the cake prior to having a complete bite. The buttercream frosting tasted nice. It had the perfect amount of sweetness, although the frosting was a little hard. The raspberry filling was DREADFUL! It tasted artificial, like a cheap brand that came from a can. I've made raspberry filling several times before, and expected this filling to taste familiar. It did NOT. It reminded me of the artificial flavoring of raspberry zingers, no good. The flavor of the cake was a nice as it was a light almond taste that was not at all overpowering. The actual cake was VERY DRY AND VERY CRUMBLY! It tasted as if they baked it several days to a week prior, assembled, frosted and put in the fridge to wait for someone to purchase it. I did also post photos. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER ORDER FROM REEVES CAKE SHOP. I ordered this for a small gathering and I didn't want to spend the time baking the cake myself with all the other party duties I need to complete. Unfortunately, I will have to bake a similar cake, but making the raspberry filling from scratch (which is super simple to do) as I refuse to serve this dry, artificial filling flavored cake to my dearest friends. BUYER BEWARE if you aren't ordering a custom cake. You may end up with a pre-made, dry, artificial filling cake that you WILL NOT like.

    WOW what an amazing cake! Reeves made our wedding cake, and it was OUTSTANDING!! One of the biggest compliments that we got on our entire meticulously planned wedding was from a cousin who is a self-proclaimed dessert snob, who uniformly declared that this was BY FAR the BEST cake she had ever had!

    The cake was very average, not very flavorful. Definitely not the best when compared to other top bakeries in akron.

The…read moreBake Shop in Ghent is tucked away and has a wonderful front and side patio/porch to sit on which really made the vibe great. I got in there about 30 minutes before closing so they were pretty cleared out of stuff and they mentioned how they stop serving lunch/sandwhiches 30 minutes before closing so just a heads up on that. The service was great and the two ladies behind the counter were friendly and helpful. It appeared that some of their refrigerated items may be bought for sale and not baked in house but all their baked goods in that case were made by them and had a large selection of baked goods from breads, biscotti, bars, tarts, cakes, and more. it also looks like they offer made to order/custom cakes so that is pretty cool! Although not pictured, we tried several macarons and they had a subtle flavor, nothing overpowering which was nice. We also tried their mini tarts in lemon and cherry, as well as their apple crumble in phyllo dough. This was interesting and I have never seen it wrapped in phyllo dough. We also tried the carrot cake which after unpacking it, I do not believe it was made in house as it was part of the other refrigerated goods. Everything was light and pretty tasty. I would give this place a try if you are in the area as it has a lot of charm and variety of goods so I am sure you can find something you will enjoy!

    Got cake on the fly, only one appeared to be out, tasted good (marble with chocolate pudding?) but…read morecake part was a bit dry. Very affordable, maybe this was a couple days old. Would try some other stuff, had donuts, cookies, ice cream cakes

The people are incredibly friendly, not only the workers but everyone who was there which shows the audience this cafe attracts. It was awesome to see the wide arrangement of drink options from hot to cold to energy infused drinks with Red Bull. They also had a TON of house baked goods. Scones, muffins, cinnamon rolls, strudels and more. They even have lots of various breads to choose from and cakes! They have inside and outside seating which is charming and simple. The food is great and the drinks are high quality and refreshing. The cinnamon rolls warmed up in the microwave were probably some of the best I've ever eaten.The cream cheese frosting is to die for as well as the strawberry rhubarb filling (I need a jar of it). Muffins are SO MOIST and great texture/flavors. I also really liked that by the cash register they had some pre wrapped baked goods that were slightly discounted meaning they were probably leftovers from the previous day or what not so I like that they do not waste! Overall, if you are in the area or a short drive away please stop in and you won't regret it!

I have not tried the sandwiches yet but heard they were good and that is next on the list to try. My favorite are the cutout cookies they have around the holidays.
