Coconut crème birthday cake

Beautiful cakes and they taste wonderful!! We won't buy our cakes from anyone else! They have flexible hours and really work to satisfy the customer!

Ordered my wedding cake from Vernele's and would highly recommend!! It was beautiful and delicious. They were so easy to work with and went above and beyond to make the day go smoothly! They have some awesome flavor choices and are competitively priced. Thanks Linda!!

I had told them about my bad experience with another bakery. Even though it was a last minute order I placed on Wednesday for it to be ready by Saturday afternoon, the cake was gorgeous, delicious, and moist! The cake never fell off sideways from the base while sitting on top of my lap nor did it fall apart. I would definitely go back here! I forgot which flavor I got but this flavor was very good! I also got white chocolate ganache on top. The picture inspiration compared to what I got also looked very similar except I opted out on the macaroons and the chocolate covered strawberries on top.

Adorable front entrance!

I was just visiting my brother in town and saw this place on Main St. When you walk in, there's so much to look at! It's a gorgeous place to grab some coffee and pastries. I got a hot latte with lavender and hazelnut (and oat milk): it was PERFECT!! My brother got the seasonal gingerbread chai latte and loved it! The breakfast sandwich (with bacon and swiss) was so tasty and very filling. Also, the staff knew what they were talking about and really made us feel welcome. I definitely will be returning!!!

What I wanted

I need a cake for my mothers birthday, so I called talked to them over the phone about what I want . The plan seem pretty simple, but when I have received the cake it was horrible. I've never had a cake that dry and flavorless before. Pretty sure I could have mad a better one . would not recommend this place the only reason I give it one star is because I can't give 0 .

Support your local small Business this place is Fantastic , give them a try if you can!

I placed the Minnie Mouse on top.

I want to say, Amy is very sweet and tried to fix the mistake that was made the best she could. That being said... I called and emailed pictures of what I wanted for my daughters first birthday party. It was a simple two dozen cup cakes and a smash cake. I wanted to be sure to get exactly what I wanted, so I personally stopped by the shop and placed the order with Amy. She assured me everything will be ready and delivered on Nov. 19th. I placed this order a few weeks ahead to be sure it was done right. I tried to call and could not get in touch with anyone most of the day on the 19th. I left a message and around 5pm when the order was to be delivered, Amy called and apologize said my order was misplaced. She will stay and make the order and bring it asap. My party started at 6pm. I wanted a vanilla smash cake, she only had chocolate ( not the end of the world) so I agreed. I got a call around 6pm staying she is on her way with my order. When Amy got to my house, she apologized again and gave me a full refund. I could tell she was embarrassed and had tears in her eyes. I understand things happen. I didn't expect this order to be so bad. The smash cake was very cold inside and not smashable. The color of the cake was great, the flowers were kind of sloppy but again no big deal considering it was about to be demolished by my daughter. I wish I had tried the cup cakes ahead of time but the shop did not have many to try. No one at the party liked the buttercream icing. It did not taste like a true butter cream. My daughter loved smashing into what she could of the cake, had fun with the icing. We enjoyed watching her do it. Unfortunately I wished this order had gone differently. Again Amy is very sweet and tried her best to fix the mistake.

Why 5 stars? Because everything here was made of such high quality…read more --- --- --- I can't remember the last weekend that went by where I didn't consider visiting Ruah Cafe. The reviews were glowing, but to be honest, when I think about eating out, I'm usually not seeking gourmet toast. However, after one visit, I'm so mad I didn't visit earlier. It. Was. Awesome. I ordered the Sao Paolo and could tell after one bite that a 5-star review was incoming. I loved every bite of it and was only sad when it was over. But THEN, I tried my wife's "New York", which was a breakfast toast. My God, it ended up stealing the show. How do they make toast, eggs and bacon taste so amazing? There was definitely some kind of light syrup or something on it, so maybe that was the key? Either way, I could eat this every day of my life and not get tired of it. For dessert, we ordered the Brussels crepe and, you guessed it, it was also amazing. My favorite part is that it was sweet, but we did not feel gross afterward, which is a common occurrence after consuming too much sugar in our 40's. Everything about the experience felt very European: high quality, fresh ingredients. This includes no ice in our waters. But even our son's Orlando crepe was basic, but great. I am late in writing this review about 10 days after my visit, and just re-living it right now makes me want to go back again ASAP!

The food here is simply outstanding! We had lunch there for the first time yesterday and are still…read moretalking about how great the flavors were, on each and every dish, from savory to sweet, bruschetta to crepes. We just can't wait to go back! Now, having said that...the space is a little odd. The dining room is really a wide hallway, with several of the tables uncomfortably close to the restrooms. And the service is...casual? The ladies there are wonderful, they all seem fully invested in the place, but don't be in a hurry. We had to flag down our server for pretty much every request, including getting silverware, then again for ordering, and finally getting the check. You'd think that would condemn a place to no more than a 3 or 4-star review, but the food is SO GOOD that they can get away with it. We go to two restaurants a day (yes really) all around Conroe, The Woodlands, Magnolia and Montgomery. This just jumped into our Top 10, and maybe Top 5. Don't miss it!

Even the sandwiches they sell are full of flavor and delicious the only thing is I wish they sold the sandwiches everyday/all day not just sometimes. The owners are kind and if you like conversation they always enjoy talking to their customers, on the same note I'm not big on small talk or making conversation and they never make me feel uncomfortable. **Be cautious of open and close times I've showed up more than once seeing they're closed because Google has the time wrong. **

I met my friend there at 10:00am. It was very quiet, which I like. The person taking the orders was Lilly. She was so sweet. She told us where she imports different ingredients from and how she uses the highest quality ingredients. She has a very extensive menu of both iced and hot coffees. There were also sandwiches and muffins. She told us that if we wanted something that wasn't on the menu, she would fix it for us. She asked me what flavors I like and what I don't like to help me make the best choice. I went with mocha coffee served hot. My friend got an iced drink called wedding cake. Both drinks were larger than I expected. I think 18 ounces but I may be mistaken. I was going to let mine cool off but she said it wasn't necessary. She was right! I was able to drink it right away. The temperature was perfect. It tasted great! My friend said her drink was awesome. The shop is delightful! There are several couches with coffee tables, some bar height table and stools as well. We sat on the couch and visited there until just after 1:00! A few people came in while we were there but they were all quiet and lept to themselves. There was some music playing but it wasn't loud at all. The setting is so peaceful and serene. The only picture I took was of a green vinyl couch because it reminded me of the one at my husband's frat house at SHSU in the mid 80s. I plan on going back again as soon as possible. I highly recommend Lilly's in Willis!
