Got it. Here is the revised Yelp review with the correct name:…read more My wife and I recently stopped by Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Café in downtown North Carolina, and we left already planning our next visit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly and served with genuine kindness. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. It feels like the kind of place where you can slow down, sit across from someone you love, and actually enjoy your coffee. We ordered an espresso, a latte, a chocolate croissant, and a lemon pastry. Everything was fresh. The croissant had crisp, flaky layers on the outside and a soft, buttery texture inside. The lemon pastry was bright and balanced, not overly sweet. The espresso was strong and smooth. The latte was well crafted and comforting. Service was quick without feeling rushed. The space was clean. The overall experience was simple and well done. If you are in downtown and want good coffee, fresh pastries, and attentive service, Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Café is worth your visit. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will return. Highly recommend.

We visited Once in a Blue Moon for a wedding cake sampler, and unfortunately the experience was a…read moremixed bag that ultimately ruled them out for us. On the positive side, the flavors themselves were solid overall. The icing was tasty, and while the cake was decent, it leaned a bit dry, which was already giving us pause given this was meant to showcase their best work. What really ended the conversation for us was a major quality issue. Two of the icing sample balls each had a very long hair in them. It was immediately noticeable and extremely off-putting. At that point, we lost confidence and couldn't bring ourselves to continue sampling, let alone consider trusting them with something as important as a wedding cake. Between the dryness of the cake and the hair issue, we ultimately decided to go in a different direction. Not terrible flavor-wise, but the experience as a whole was disappointing and fell short for such a high-stakes purchase.

They were both very, very good. The cheesecake is thick and mildly sweet, perfect density and flavor. The store front is small but they have two big cases full of cheesecakes and other desserts. The young lady that served us cut our pieces off the main slab of cheesecake and slid them nicely into 2 to-go boxes. If we lived closer, we might be in trouble because I know we would go more often.

Bottom line: Even though the Chatham St La Farm Bakery location looks big, it actually provides a…read moresmall cafe experience to use with no dedicated inside seating (only outside seating). Small selection in comparison to Preston Corners location, but still good quality. Delicious bakery items as you would expect from La Farm and very friendly helpful staff encountered here. The Deets: I had the chance to go by this location of La Farm Bakery near downtown Cary on Chatham St a couple of times during the past holiday season. I had walked over first to see about getting some gift baskets shipped to friends for the holidays but found out upon entering that they only handle shipping at the Preston Corners/Cary Parkway location. I was surprised as this location had such a large footprint with being the size of a grocery store but most of that size is used for the actual baking/storage itself it appears. The bakery service/cafe at this location is pretty small but nice and clean, with the only sitting area only outside with no actual inside seating to enjoy any purchases. There is not a dedicated inside sit-down cafe experience here. The actual selections on the shelves available seem in less volume than say their Preston Corners location (on my second visit here I wound up going to Preston Corners again for the items I wanted for a holiday party I was to attend). The same, still delicious, baked items in their display case as well as coffee/beverages are available here and still as enjoyable which earns most of their four stars here. Luckily the second visit I made here was on a warmer day so the outside seating could be utilized if you wanted to eat there. Another reason for their four stars here is the great positive attitude and friendly demeanor of the staff here. Even though they could not help me with my shipping of gift baskets on the first visit when I inquired, I was offered coffee while I waited for my ride share to take me to the Preston Corners location and that was greatly appreciated. The small cafe at the downtown Cary of La Farm Bakery is a nice stop for bakery items and goodies but for more of the full "La Farm experience" for gifts etc. then you may want to start out at the Preston Corners/Cary Parkway location. I may have had more of a 3.5 star full experience here, they get to those 4 stars with the deliciousness of the La Farm baked goods and the friendly helpful staff I encountered.

This location was smaller, but the service was still great and the presentation of the bread was pretty. The menu was smaller than the other location and they didn't offer fresh fruit/salad with the breakfast sandwich. Also, the bread was hard. Very disappointed in the quality of the sandwich, I didn't even eat it.

Bottom line: Whisk & Batter Bakery and Dessert Bar have delicious treats for your sweet tooth…read more Having experienced their cupcakes, pound cake, as well as their version of an oatmeal cream pie, I have enjoyed their baked goods so far. Generous servings and great texture as well as tasty, I'm glad I gave their desserts a try. The Deets: I've had the opportunity to try out some of the sweet treats from Whisk & Batter Bakery and Dessert Bar a couple of times now. Mainly I've had some of their desserts to enjoy at home so I cannot comment on their shop itself in this review. I'll start with the cupcakes, having tried both the Red Velvet and the Key Lime offerings they have. My favorite type of cake is Red Velvet and their cupcake version did not disappoint with delicious taste and great texture. I also enjoyed the Key Lime as well but I do wish (and this wish is splitting hairs most likely) that more of that distinct tart lime taste that Key Lime is known for came through with it. However the cupcakes themselves on the whole are not dry at all, again great texture with minimal crumble as well as being generous sized cupcakes. I also got their Pound Cake to enjoy with coffee. The pound cake slice is a very large slice, I made more than one serving out of it myself. Their pound cake is pretty good (I do hold my mother's homemade pound cake as the "gold standard" just FYI and it's pretty hard to beat, in my opinion). However I do prefer my pound cake without a frosting/glaze on it which this one does have and I think I'd personally like it better without it. I have to mention their version of the Oatmeal Cream Pie...wonderful! Their individually wrapped versions of this classic are delicious and probably my most favorite item so far from here. Their Oatmeal Cream Pie definitely surpasses any store bought version, for me. In summary, all the sweet treats I've had from Whisk & Batter Bakery and Dessert Bar have been enjoyable, I'd honestly say more towards 4.5 stars here. I am a fan!

Ambiance was just average, lots of people working and studying occupied most tables, service is friendly, the Napoleon seemed to be old with strange texture with no flavor, my husband ordered a cheese cake and said the same thing.

It was a huge disappointment and we won't be back, spent almost $40 for two not good slices of cake, a pot of tea, totally not worth it! Food: 1 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3

The space is fairly large and they stay open late (until 11 PM on weekends), making it a great place to hang out with friends or stop by to satisfy a sweet tooth during a night out. I've purchased their macarons as gifts, tried several desserts here and to-go, grabbed coffee and stayed to do work, and even stopped by for lunch. Their light bites are quite tasty, and I especially enjoy their phyllo-dough pastries. Their latte options are great--the flavors are creative yet still approachable, and the syrup options are delicious. Service is attentive and efficient. There's always a big team behind the counter, and instead of calling names, they give you a number and bring food or drinks directly to your table, which is so thoughtful! They can get quite busy at times - lots of families and big groups stop by to hang out. I enjoy the community it brings, though sometimes this is not the most ideal place to get work done. Highly recommend Asali for anyone looking to try creative desserts, a great cup of latte!
