Carmen has an incredible gift for turning flavor preferences into the perfect dessert. We weren't…read moresure we'd even have a cake for our grandfathers 80th celebration, but Carmen created something truly memorable--both savory and stunning. She listened closely to what he liked and delivered a cake that exceeded all our expectations. It was flavorful, elegant, and beautifully packaged. He loved his coconut cake and the coconut custard was just to die for! This was such a special experience from start to finish! I highly recommend Carmen's desserts to anyone looking for a cake that is fresh and not from a box. I already have my next order in for my husband's birthday coming up!

Me and my girl had attended the Great Western Bike Rally at the fair grounds on memorial day. I came across the booth with a very nice person Ms Melanie Satterlee she had cookie's for sample....I took on bite and I could not believe how amazing they were....if cookies can be hyper flavorful and creamy these are them...She explained the high quality natural ingredients she used...these cookies well......they are like a hug from your grandmother or your mom. The flavors are amazing, wonderful texture. I am sold on how great these are.....and Ms Satterlee is very creative she can set you up with cookie party favors, wedding favors.....actually giving a friend one of these cookies is doing someone a favor. Seriously they are truly amazing cookies and after chatting with Ms Satterlee about some of her idea I am excited to follow this business.

It has been too long since my first review for these folks!…read more A-Town Humble Pies remains a slice of heaven (too cheesy? I'm not even sorry about it). The owners are incredibly kind human beings doing their best to lift others up by promoting other local growers, makers, and farmers as they create some truly phenomenal dessert and savory products alike. They're communicative, clear on timelines for holiday orders (keep an eye on their IG), and always an absolute pleasure to do business with. We've made special orders for just about every "food holiday" in recent memory. Mildly obsessed with their key limequat pie (and I don't even usually like key lime- theirs is so custardy and has the best parts of citrus without being overly tart), dutch apple, magic bars, lemon bars, and pecan pie. But you can't go wrong- every single item that they make is excellent.

I highly recommend Cook's! I especially love their vanillas. The BEST. I make a lot of fresh fruit…read morecobblers & this vanilla makes the crumble topping sing!! I had heard around town that you can visit their manufacturing plant & I thought that would be fun when folks visit, but I wanted to call first and I'm really glad I did! They were super nice and told me we "could" stop by but that they are really just set up for manufacturing and don't have a retail capacity. They did, however, recommend I visit Lori downtown at the Spice of Life shop where many of Cook's products are stocked. Cook's does have a great website too where you can purchase your favorites. I have done mail order before and everything comes wrapped with care. Highly recommend this Paso Robles gem!

Finding it is a little difficult, just let your navigation app get you in the vicinity and then look for the nondescript peach colored building bordered by cypress trees. They are a small manufacturing plant but are prepared for retail sales. They also have an online sales site if you can't make your way to Paso Robles. You are "greeted" by the vanilla fragrance when you enter. The office is stuffed with bags of vanilla beans and the many vanilla products they sell. The folks in the offices were very friendly and answered my many questions. This was the highlight of my visit to Paso Robles and I am anxious to use some of the new products I purchased. This is a true treasure.

Be careful if you enter this place, since you will 100% walk out with pricey cookies, lol…read more Didn't want to look in, but how can you not when in the area walking around the park. Popped in just to see since store didn't seem to have too much stuff inside. Very friendly workers, offering samples of the cookies to try while you check out the cute displays and wonder at the pricey cookies... Since I like to stick to whatever/original made a place famous, tried the original sample... If you have crossed this step, you know it's too late. So buttery, rich, dense, delicious cookie, perfect in the original formula of sweet/buttery/salt/texture. I still resisted, but wife broke down immediately and we walked out with 2 packs, lol. Think of Brown Butter Cookie as the cookie version of See's Candy's, or a drug dealer, lol. Free sample, since they are all confident you will find it to be awesome and be hooked! So pricey, but even a little goes a long way with these rich dense cookies. Dare to take a peek inside if in the area... Or just trust you won't be disappointed and just order it online to see. Think I saw a deal that made it cheaper online shortly after visiting in March, so look for sales/deals online. It almost made me order some, but was able to resist the urge, lol.

Note: Parking can be hard to find during busy hours because of the nearby park. Overall, it's a great gourmet treat if you don't mind the premium price and the parking hunt!
