My wife really wanted cookies the other night so we decided on here because it was closest. It was a tad hard to find at first because it's inside the SoftSpot and doesn't have any signage or branding anywhere outside the building. It was super busy for a Saturday evening but they also serve fancy hot chocolate so it made sense why it was busy. The cookies themselves were very very good. We ordered the red velvet, cookies and cream, s'mores, triple chocolate, and one other basic cookie. The cookies and cream, red velvet, and s'mores were all premium cookies and much better than the normal ones. Highly recommend those 3. We wanted the Reese's cookie but they didn't have any already baked so we would have had to wait an additional 15 mins so we went with the red velvet instead. You can also order cookies to be fresh baked but it says it'll take about 20-25 mins for that. The service was super friendly and helpful. My wife also really just wanted a cup of the whipped cream and the employee was super kind and gave her one. The restaurant has a decent amount of seating but felt cramped due to the volume of people inside on Saturday night.

I typically go for my favorites like the strawberry dubai chocolate croissant or ube croissant but often love talking to their staff about new flavors.

This is your sign to get them this weekend!

We learned about this place from an email from Yelp that featured new places to try…read more Since we were planning to have dinner at a restaurant in the area, we figured that I would stop in after dinner and get some dessert to go. It's not easy to find. Their address is on Southbank Street, but it can be easy to miss it as it is behind Robek's. We were here on a Sunday around 5 p.m. The first thing I noticed was that they didn't have very many items left. The young man who was behind the counter was friendly and patient. I decided to order two lemon cupcakes and two birthday cupcakes. There were only two birthday cupcakes left, so I guess I timed it right. Four cupcakes ended up costing $18, which seems to be on the expensive side. As for the cupcakes, the lemon ones were for my husband. He thought the lemon flavoring could have been more prominent. We also noticed that the cupcakes were on the oily side. On the plus side, the cake part was very light in texture. This place is basically a take out set up, as it is small. We're not sure if we would return. If we did return, it would be for a meal in the area.

I wanted a doughnut, but didn't want the whole thing for myself, so I lightly nudged my sweet tooth friend to split one with me. I knew he wasn't going to say no. It required very little to no convincing. Sadly, they were out of half of their options, but we tried the PANDAN CUSTARD DOUGHNUT (4.65) because we both like pandan. The custard was creamy with a strong pandan flavor. The donut was soft and chewy with a delicious sugar layer. I'm sure these have been sitting out for a few hours, so I'm impressed how well they hold up. I would definitely pay the price for these delicious doughnuts again.

My friend also loved her black sesame kouign amann, and I've enjoyed their croissants I nthe past. It's just a really solid home bakery, and I was excited to hear they might be opening a storefront in Annandale soon. Definitely check them out if you see them!

The space has plenty of tables, and delicious decorated cakes on display. I wonder if they were all customers or if the staff did some of them, hmm! I should've asked. At the counter on the back wall, you can get snacks and drinks in addition to the kits for the decorating. I didn't decorate one myself, but I observed the whole process. There are shelves of different tools, like skewers, piping bags and more. There's a frosting for every color and plenty of fondant for extra creativity. We were able to bring in food -- pizza for this occasion, and the staff were kind enough to serve it for us. The staff were super polite, efficient, and willing to answer any questions and assist the decorators! For anyone in the area that wants to do something both crafty and delicious... definitely consider Cake Time! They opened right as the pandemic began I believe... I'm glad they survived!

My daughter recently had her birthday party here with seven of her friends after attending Cake…read moreTime's weekly summer camp and absolutely loving it. She specifically asked to have her birthday party here, so I really wish I could say we had the same great experience. Unfortunately, I left pretty disappointed. For a birthday party that cost over $600, I expected the staff to be much more hands-on and engaged, especially with a group of 9- and 10-year-old girls. One employee did an okay job helping, but overall, the level of involvement was not what I expected. I also took several photos during the party where one of the designated team members was on her cell phone rather than interacting with or helping the girls. When you're paying this much for a hosted party, I don't think parents should feel like the staff leading it are disengaged. I also paid for the Ultimate Party Package, which was advertised as including smoothies, ice cream, and aprons for each girl. When we arrived, I was told they no longer make smoothies and that they hadn't figured out how to remove that option from their website. At that point we obviously switched to the regular party option. Finally, there is a mandatory 15% service gratuity automatically added to the party. I normally have no problem tipping for good service, but an automatic gratuity is frustrating when the service itself falls well below expectations. The girls still had fun decorating their cakes, which was the most important part, but for the price and the experience that was advertised, I expected significantly more. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing and did not feel worth the $600+ cost.
