The cherry thingaling was delicious, you could really taste the cherries in the glaze and they had whole fresh cherries in it as well and the donut was phenomenal; it was a light and airy fritter style donut. Added bonus is that it's a friendly family owned small business, which we love to support!

I warmed it in my air fryer for 6 minutes on 330 so it didn't overcook. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and the kimchi added good flavor without being spicy. I would have liked to see a little more mozzarella but overall it was tasty! SOBACHA CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE 4 Also tasty, oversized cookie. Soft and chewy texture. CINNAMON ALMOND BLUEBERRY TOAST (THURSDAY/FRIDAY ONLY) 5.25 Very good. The cinnamon filling reminded me of a brown sugar pop tart. I warmed it in my air fryer and it was perfect. Would order again.

It is loaded with pecans, sticky in the best way, and easily one of the best in the city. When they're on, they're really on. One thing I noticed was that the setup could use a little refinement. With both coffee and bakery items coming from the same counter, the line gets congested fast and the shop is quite small. A separate line for coffee and tea offerings - they have a bunch - and pastries would make the experience smoother and match the quality of what they're serving. They do offer vegan options, which I personally have no interest in, but just an fyi. Overall, they deliver excellent pastries and has the potential to be even better with a few small tweaks to the flow and menu variety. Still absolutely worth a visit, especially for that croissant and pecan roll.

My aunt had ordered me a cake from A Spoon Fulla Sugar for my wedding reception. We were very…read moreexcited for this cake, it was 3 tiers. The cake was delivered at 1:30 pm the day of. We were beginning to cut the cake at 7 pm ( plenty of time to thaw we thought). As we cut it, the icing was very thick. The icing was like a brick and was just falling off the cake. As we cut the actual cake itself, it began to crumble. Every single piece of our cake fell apart while cutting. We used 3 different knives to cut it and had 2 different people attempting to cut it. We tried bigger and thin slices. Each piece just crumbled. The actual cake itself did taste good, but the icing was so thick. It was more icing than actual cake. We were very disappointed. My aunt went back to the store to get the issue resolved. It was her wedding gift to us and she wanted us to have a very good cake. She talked to the owner of the store and presented him with a video of the cake cutting. His immediate response was to blame the knife we used. He then asked if a caterer cut it. We did use 3 different knives ( two of which were designed to cut and serve cakes ). For cakes at this price point, if it needed such specific instructions for cutting, it should be known to the customer beforehand ! He did offer a refund but my aunt preferred the cake remade as this was a present and she wanted it done well for us. When we got the cake remade, it was beautiful. They made it better the second time than the first. They also included specific cutting instructions with the remade cake. This would have been useful to have the first time. When they dropped it off the first time no instructions were included and the people who dropped it off said nothing. They said multiple times they assumed we would be having a caterer which is why they didn't bother to say anything and then proceed to blame us later when the whole cake fell apart. Every single person at this cake shop had an attitude about the situation and could not be bothered to apologize or seem remorseful for the situation. This was my wedding cake, my guest and I were all extremely disappointed. I would not return again or ever recommend this shop to anyone else.

While the space itself isn't large, they had an impressive selection of cookies, cakes, and cheesecakes for a Wednesday afternoon--plenty to tempt you the moment you walk in. I went straight for the bourbon caramel swirl cheesecake, and that's when things got even better. The girl behind the counter casually mentioned they use Weller's bourbon . Even better? She proudly said she gets to eat whichever flavor she wants. I joked that sounded like a great perk--she laughed and revealed she's actually the daughter of the owners. Loved that little personal touch. My wife is more of a traditionalist and chose the original cheesecake with caramel swirl. She said it was incredibly creamy and very good. Mine was just as creamy, with a noticeable punch of bourbon flavor balanced perfectly by the caramel, and finished with a crispy, satisfying crust. Bottom line: definitely good, definitely delicious. This is the kind of place that makes you plan your next visit before you've even finished your slice. I would absolutely return for another piece (or two) Unfortunately, I ate my cheesecake but I snap a photo. I couldn't wait! lol!

You truly will not find many desserts as beautiful as the ones crafted by Taylor at Blended Bakes…read more She has a true talent for 10x'ing a client's idea and her final product is so often beyond what the client could've dreamt up themselves. I speak from experience as Taylor recently created a Lord of the Rings themed dessert board for my son's first birthday party and blew it out of the water. I don't think there was a single guest who didn't say something to me personally about the treats and/or ask who made them. I was very vague with my request: a Lord of the Rings dessert board for x amount of people. Taylor took that and ran with it and delivered the desserts of my wildest dreams. She truly added magic to the party. The desserts were so gorgeous no one wanted to be the first one to dig in (minus my mother-in law- who snuck a mini cinnamon roll before the party event started)! But once someone braved the first bite, the board was cleared quickly because the desserts are as tasty as they are beautiful. Working with Taylor is a delight. She is clear and prompt in her communication and she asks all the right questions to help you flesh out your idea. Her pricing is totally fair for desserts that are literal works of art and take such precision and time to execute at the level Taylor does. Pickup is a breeze too. I can't wait to order from Taylor again for another big event!
