When I retired last year we decided to have a custom cake made for the occasion. American Dream…read moreCakes nailed it! Service was great. We walked in and asked a few questions, then ordered what we wanted. They were also able to deliver due to the close proximity from the bakery. Delivery was a little early, but that was a good thing. The cake turned out amazing! We were very pleased with the overall service and quality of the cake. The cake was moist, tasty, and definitely enough for everyone. The bakery itself does have daily baked goods. The bakery itself is very clean and neat. The employees were nice. If you need a custom cake, I recommend American Dream Cakes nailed for sure.

I came in…read morewith high expectations due to their hype on social media and I am happy to say I was not disappointed! The young lady at the cashier was very friendly and told me her recommendations + most popular flavors as it was our first time. We ended up trying the mini raspberry white chocolate & strawberries and cream. They are SO moist and the butter cream to cake ratio is 10/10. Store is clean and has an assortment of gifts for purchase. I look forward to coming back and this will now be my go to for cakes!! No more publix bakery etc for us.

A lovely clean and well run upscale grocery store. They always have unique offerings whether it's…read morewine & cheese tasting, pumpkin pancakes or beer while you shop, we look forward to grocery shopping here. Have to admit the meat department folks seemed very confused about sale items the week before Thanksgiving, though. And being out of Butterball turkeys was definitely bizarre. Especially since it's a North Carolina company.

When I replied "he's just looking for the bathroom" to which he said, I WASNT TALKING TO YOU. 0/10 for customer service. My mother was appalled as was I. That's been my 2nd negative interaction with the young man. The first instance was just a little creepy as he was talking about not having a gf and getting too personal etc.

Driving through Jacksonville we found ourselves needing a person refuel before continuing home. We…read morecame across Lilianas and decided to give it a try. We were greeted quickly upon arriving into Liliana's Colombian Restaurant and Bakery by an older gentleman, you could tell he has pride in this restaurant the way he spoke and helped with everything. The food, we order tostones for an appetizer. They were crispy, light, and simple. Could've used a bit of salt personally but the garlic sauce they came with really made up for it. So good! The steak had a ton of flavor, and the yellow rice was solid, though my family actually liked the white rice better overall. We ordered a mix of plates with yellow rice and fries, others with white rice and tostones. I went with the arroz con pollo (classic choice), and my youngest had the chicken nuggets and fries. Only downside: my meal came out about 10 minutes after everyone else's, which was a little frustrating but not warrant for complaints. Our waiter was really sweet, a tad slow checking in sometimes, but he was super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. He even got honey on the side for my kiddos nuggets. Odd request but it's a thing. A big surprise but we got a free choice of a pastry at the end, which was really nice. My kids picked flan and said it was light, firm, but still creamy. Not too mushy. In the end the vibe is very family friendly. They play Latin music in the background, but it's quiet and chill, easy to drown out and still enjoy. I would love to see this place flourish, I know they deserve it, there's a lot of love put into this place. If we're ever in town again, we'll be back.

They have a white chocolate raspberry specialty drink we absolutely fell in love with. We also got the mazapan latte which was delicious. Definitely our new coffee spot. The owner was telling us how they discover new recipes and even found their coffee beans. They have chess there to play while you enjoy your coffee and plants that make it feel homey. They even have coffee and refreshers premade and ready to go! I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back shortly.

We were in the area and decided to try this place out. It's…read morea cute place with tables inside. If it's your first time they offer a complimentary cafecito cubano. We are familiar with Cuban coffee from having it up north and in Miami. We had Cafe Bombón, tres leches cake, guava pastry and lemon cake. The cafecito cubano was good and the Cafe Bombón was good. The only thing we thought would have been better is to serve the Cafe Bombom in a glass cup/glass. Presentation sometimes is important and serving it in a plastic cup kinda takes away from it. The tres leche cake was good, the guava pastry was not. Lacked the filling and then it was wrapped in plastic so the humidity made it most. These guava pastries are meant to be flaky and with more guava. The service was good and staff were nice. May come back for coffee.

We got to partake and it sure made the place feel like a community! Plenty of indoor seating and parking as well.

We were not happy with what was delivered but based on all the reviews I am seeing now, we should consider ourselves very lucky by comparison. Cake was slightly crooked, fondant was lumpy, and color was not even close to the fabric swatch we sent. The groom's cake was ridiculous and embarassing. It was supposed to be a piano, but looked like you gave a 3 year old some brown play dough and said make me a piano. On the upside, the cakes themselves were delicious. No Anniversary cake as promised, but I see we are not alone there either. What a shame. They seemed like such nice people. We were impressed at the tasting. Their place ain't the Ritz, but it was immaculately clean and the cakes we tasted were delicious. Too bad they couldn't follow through.
