Groovy Duck has me quacking with joy!…read more This is a cute bakery tucked away in a small shopping plaza. I've wanted to try this place for years so I'm glad it was an Offline option. Here are the deets: I tried their duck shaped shortbread cookies and pound cake. Loved the cookies, and they are great with coffee, and my office loved them too. The pound cake did not wow me, but I would try it again. The staff? Helpful and very upbeat. The whole experience? Worth flocking to again. PS: They have a cute rubber ducky display and so many options to choose from.

Got it. Here is the revised Yelp review with the correct name:…read more My wife and I recently stopped by Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Café in downtown North Carolina, and we left already planning our next visit. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly and served with genuine kindness. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. It feels like the kind of place where you can slow down, sit across from someone you love, and actually enjoy your coffee. We ordered an espresso, a latte, a chocolate croissant, and a lemon pastry. Everything was fresh. The croissant had crisp, flaky layers on the outside and a soft, buttery texture inside. The lemon pastry was bright and balanced, not overly sweet. The espresso was strong and smooth. The latte was well crafted and comforting. Service was quick without feeling rushed. The space was clean. The overall experience was simple and well done. If you are in downtown and want good coffee, fresh pastries, and attentive service, Once in a Blue Moon Bakery and Café is worth your visit. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will return. Highly recommend.

We visited Once in a Blue Moon for a wedding cake sampler, and unfortunately the experience was a…read moremixed bag that ultimately ruled them out for us. On the positive side, the flavors themselves were solid overall. The icing was tasty, and while the cake was decent, it leaned a bit dry, which was already giving us pause given this was meant to showcase their best work. What really ended the conversation for us was a major quality issue. Two of the icing sample balls each had a very long hair in them. It was immediately noticeable and extremely off-putting. At that point, we lost confidence and couldn't bring ourselves to continue sampling, let alone consider trusting them with something as important as a wedding cake. Between the dryness of the cake and the hair issue, we ultimately decided to go in a different direction. Not terrible flavor-wise, but the experience as a whole was disappointing and fell short for such a high-stakes purchase.

Aurora is truly the QUEEN of cakes! She's been making birthday cakes for my kids for years, and…read moreevery single one has been a total showstopper. I also go to her for every other occasion--holidays, showers, communions, parties, you name it--and she NEVER misses. In fact, her cakes always turn out even more beautiful than the inspo photos I send her (and I send some pretty detailed ones!). But it's not just the looks--her cakes taste incredible. Moist, flavorful, and always a hit with both kids and adults. I can't tell you how many times guests have asked, "Where did you get this cake?!" And when I send them to Aurora, without fail, they fall in love too. She has a whole little fan club now just from my referrals! Aurora pours so much love and artistry into her work, and it shows. Her creativity, attention to detail, and ability to bring ideas to life are unmatched. My guests are constantly blown away, and the kids now think she's some kind of magical cake wizard. Honestly, they're not wrong! She's reliable, communicative, and just so fun to work with--an absolute gem. If you're looking for a cake that wows both visually and in flavor, look no further. Cake Lady Aurora is IT.
