We originally came here because we saw they have gluten-free bagels. And we need someplace to eat safely because of celiac.

Racquel's cake is delicious and designed with a true artist's touch. She's very easy to talk to when I wanted to customize it.

Racquel's business is truly a blessing to families like us and helps us to stay close to the important days with our children when they are thousands of miles away from home. Thank You Racquel for all the beautiful cakes and moments. I highly recommend this business!

We got our wedding cake and cupcakes from Sinfully Delicious and they were stunning and delectable!…read moreRaquel was great to work with as we nailed down our flavors and numbers, and multiple guests told us that this was the best dessert they'd ever had at a wedding. Our cake was cardamom sponge with lemon curd and lemon meringue buttercream, and my spouse, who has very high standards for baked goods, said that they could not have imagined having a better cake. Truly a fantastic experience.

I think that's called the Washington Park neighborhood, or west-Downtown. For pickup, we parked on Meadow. To eat in, there's a pretty large parking lot on Court Street. We saw what looked like more than 40 pastries in the display case, more than 15 bagel varieties, smoothies, teas, lemonade, and a host of creative coffee beverages. Of course, i got an espresso, neat. Rich, dense, dark, hot, perfectly drawn. And a regular Americano with oat milk. Fresh and tasty. Got a generously decorated well-crisped BLT to-go. We split that enormous blueberry, strawberry, kiwi tart. I wont even tell you what we added on top, but i'll say it was nearly next door ;-) Quick friendly service. The happy chatter of well-caffeinated well-sugared people. We even saved a fellow pastry-aficionado from forgetting their purse!

Mama Said Hand Pies | Ithaca, NY…read more One of my favorite local food spots in Upstate New York near Cornell University! Mama Said Hand Pies is a cozy local spot in Ithaca serving handmade savory and sweet pies made with locally sourced ingredients and baked fresh daily. Sausage Gravy, Egg & Cheddar Pie (Recommend ) Filled with chicken sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and white cheddar wrapped in an incredibly flaky, buttery pastry crust. The crust had a rich buttery flavor without feeling greasy, and the savory filling made every bite so comforting. Mushroom Pie (Recommend ) Packed with sautéed mushrooms and served with a green sauce on the side. Honestly, I didn't even need the sauce because the pie was already flavorful on its own. Pepper Jack Beef Pie Filled with ground beef, pepper jack cheese, and curry-like spices. This one wasn't my personal favorite, but my husband really enjoyed it!

Tried these at the farmer's market! Very yummy!…read more We tried the blueberry one with lemon icing and the spanakopita. The blueberry one was piping hot. Honestly these were both really good. the crust wasn't soggy and I liked trying both a sweet and a savory hand pie. I have also tried the mushroom oaxaca one which is my favorite! Overall, I would recommend!

Went here with my parent and had an amazing experience here! We booked our spots online (highly…read morerecommend you do that before coming in) to see the cats for one hour, at the cost of 10 dollars. (They charge 5 dollars for every 30 minutes.) We paid at the front, and the worker guided us to the car rooms and made sure we signed in and sanitized our hands first before entering. The cats seem to be decently well-cared for. Some were lively, others seemed lazy, but overall they appeared to be in good health and spirits. They were also very interactive. The moment the two of us stepped into the rooms, the cats immediately came over to us and played. I unfortunately forgot to try out the food/drinks at this place, so I cannot say anything about those... but overall, a great experience!

We both actually love vegan-inspired restaurants so we happily made a reservation and came to celebrate a new job while on a girl's trip. Parking was a bit of a hassle for us having arrived in town after dark and not knowing the area. We eventually found some parking on the street about 2-3 blocks away but it looked highly sketchy and walking back around 9:30 pm seemed sus. The restaurant is smaller than expected but cozy and our server was great. My friend has a soy allergy so, it limited what she could have from the menu a bit but this is what we had: -Elote Corn Hummus - 10/10 - soooo good -Veggie Lasagna for my friend - loaded with eggplant which she loves -Green Curry for me - spicy! But good. Loads of cauliflower. I had a coffee with cream and sugar for dessert and they feature the local Gimme Coffee brand which was strong and delicious with some creamer in it. My friend had the Peach Cheesecake and loved it. I did try it and it was tart, fresh, and the crust was A+. Loved this meal - it's highly expensive for vegetarian but we knew that going in. It was fun to have a fine dining feeling with a vegetarian twist. Worth it!

Naturally, the Thai Green Curry was a must-try -- and a good call it was. Only downside: the portions ran on the small side.
