This place is a real hidden gem. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside, OMG!…read more When you come in you will be overwhelmed by the choices. The first time I went to the bakery I didn't know the routine, but I had another customer show me - when you walk in to the right is a rack that has round aluminum trays and tongs. You take a tray and tongs, and then go to the clear display shelves along the walls and to the baking racks in the middle of the bakery to get your pastries, breads, cookies, churros and so much more. All the pastries, breads, etc, are freshly baked and some of our favorites are the custard filled horns, the rice pudding turnovers (it sounds strange but it is delicious), the strawberry filled churros, and the the pecan muffins. The absolutely best is their tres leches cakes, they are available by the slice or as a cake in two different sizes. You can get them with fresh strawberries and other fruit. Not only are their tres leches cakes beautiful, but it is truly the best cake I have every eaten. This is now our go to place for all celebration cakes. If you like flan, you will love their flan cups that are available in a glass display case in the middle of the store, yummy! They are also known for their freshly made tamales, we tried the red ones last week and they were delicious, looking forward to trying the green ones next time. The staff are very nice and helpful, and the prices are very reasonable. This is a must for anyone who loves good pastries , cakes and breads.

A little place that may not look like much, but it has more than expected. Pick up things for any holiday or any occasion. Baked goods are made fresh. It has a kind of limited amount because this is a small bakery and everything will be homemade. The typical treats include cookies among other things. Also has treats for dogs. Last time there was a bar filled with baked dog treats. Also you can get other kinds of items such as clothing and ornaments if looking for something decorative. The stuff in here is all local.

They also make custom cakes and other baked items. A cool day called for a coffee. If hanging out in this lakeside town, it's better to go here than some chain coffee place. The prices aren't that bad for an independent business like this. Inside there's a couple tables and a couch. Space is limited but charm isn't. I got a Cinnamon Sugar Latte, which was one of the seasonal coffees. It's $6 for a regular. This had plenty of spice and sweetness along with some vanilla. Best place in town to get coffee.

Pro tip: The neighbourhood in this part of town isn't great but as long as you do your due diligence & don't look like an easy target with your purse, it's all good.

I went with my kids because they really wanted to eat at Lauretta's. We arrived about 15 minutes before closing, and while I was parking my vehicle, one of the employees closed the door right in front of us. They also appeared to be making fun of the situation. I understand that employees may be ready to close, but there is a professional and respectful way to treat customers, especially when they are there with their children. The food may be good, but the customer service was terrible. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this place.
