Below are some helpful tips to help you determine if this is the bakery that you would like to try: There is an online payment system available, which makes it easy. The prices are higher than your typical bakery, at least three times higher. Despite the prices being higher, they do not deliver. The cake topper broke that was on my cake for my milestone birthday. This was not a good experience. The cake did not look as desired for my photos. The cake was not moist but dry. It had a great deal of flavor of the vanilla, but was not the tastiest cake that I have tried to Charlotte so far. I am not sure how long is sitting in the refrigerator prior to pick up and when it was made or how it was stored, but I have a problem with that. Out of 15 guests not one person like the cake. I found it a bit embarrassing as the host. Hours of operation for pick up are limited. Good luck!

The outside and inside are both very cute with lots of pink! I debated on getting a picture perfect cookie because they looked amazing- but I decided on getting a social media worthy drink so I could take a fun selfie on this 90 degree day. I chose the "Proud 2 Be" drink because it had bold red, white, and blue colors. I have to say: false advertising! I was handed a very muddled drink and I even asked, "This is mine?" and the staff member said, "Yes" and I said "It looks so beautiful and different in the picture" and she said, "Yeah, it looks different when you make it." The staff member was lovely - bright and bubbly from the moment we walked in and throughout the whole time she waited on us. I'm not sure if she doesn't know how to make this drink or if it's false advertising. I didn't take a selfie pic for my accounts because it wasn't much to look at. Silver lining: it tasted good. My girls got pretzel nuggets and an Achy Breaky Heart drink (it was in a white cup so no idea if it had the pretty sunrise look) - they liked them.

There is no where to sit inside but there are some tables outside if you want to eat/drink there. It's a fancy soda shop so most of the drinks have Coke, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper, lemonade, Fresca, sparkling water or Mountain Dew as the base and they add Torani drink syrups to create a tasty drink. Go on Thursday! It's thirsty Thursday so you can bring any size cup and they will fill it up for the price of a small. They filled up my 40 oz Stanley for less than $4. I got the Arabian nights- lemonade with lime and mint. It was SO good and so refreshing. I would get it again but would also love to try something new as they all look so good! I also tried the spa water and didn't like it as much, this was sparkling water with a lemon, a lime and mint, nothing fancy- get this if you don't want anything too sweet- just tasted like tap sparkling water.

Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products. Come support this amazing local spot and enjoy their unique, thoughtful offerings!

What a beautiful experience with Bloom Cupcakes!…read more I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lorrie, the owner of Bloom Cupcakes, and I cannot recommend her enough. I found her online while planning a last-minute 90th birthday celebration for my mother, and I was immediately drawn to the elegance and artistry of her cupcake designs. I knew I didn't want the typical IG cake covered in thick fondant. What I wanted was something unique, beautiful, and fitting for such a monumental occasion. With only a week to go, I reached out, and Lorrie picked up the phone right away. From our very first conversation, I felt at ease. She didn't sugarcoat her availability or make empty promises. She was honest, realistic, and incredibly thoughtful in walking me through what she could create given the time and my vision. She asked all the right questions: about the theme, colors, decor, and what I hoped the cupcakes would convey. That same day, she sent me a sketch of her design plan, and I knew I had found the right person. Lorrie delivered exactly what she promised: gorgeous, custom cupcakes that wowed every single guest. Not only were they stunning to look at, but they were also moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. She even offered to help set them up at the venue, a gesture that speaks to her kindness and commitment to making sure everything is just right. People couldn't stop talking about the cupcakes, including the venue owner, who asked for her business cards on the spot! Lorrie is not only incredibly talented and professional, she's also just a lovely human being. I felt like I was working with a friend from day one. Every cupcake was worth every penny, and I will absolutely be using Bloom Cupcakes again for future events.
