This should not even be on the menu ! It was $8 and a soupy, gloppy mess. It was inedible. I took it back to the counter and the employee couldn't care less. Never offered a refund or another option. Total silence and shrugged. Then I Had the pumpkin bread which was pretty good! As mentioned, this is more of a bakery. Across the street is a nice restaurant if you'd like a substantial meal! There were some nice gift items on the shelves, so that's a plus. The place was rather plain, but clean. I wouldn't come back here... the ambivalence of the staff turned me off.

I asked her to make Texas sheet cake, of which she'd never done, and she discovered there was a chocolate and a blonde recipe out there. She made both, not know which we preferred, and also added a few other cupcakes to add color and more flavor to our assortment - all of her own doing and not asking to charge us extra. We gladly compensated her for her sweet thoughtfulness and for treating our daughter's wedding as if it were thing she had on her plate. She's delightful, dependable, and took our daughters wedding personal to make it a beautiful presentation. We travelled back to TN with the few left over desserts and I seriously have hidden them to eat them myself. Highly recommend. She's very responsive and a pro and her sweet husband helped with the delivery.

Excellent,specialized cupcakes from a lovely at-home store owner. Consider using this home baker…read morefor small and large orders! The chocolate cupcake was fluffy, moist, and evenly filled with chocolate ganache. The peanut butter buttercream frosting was one of the best I've had; not overly sweet and was not at all gritty! The individual boxes that the cupcakes came in were a wonderful, unexpected touch. The process for ordering and picking up the cupcakes was effortless. Brenda, the store owner, was a sweet woman who took my phone call with excitement. She walked me through her flavor profiles and gave me an affordable rate for a half dozen cupcakes. I ordered approximately 5 days before I needed to pick them up with no issues. I even gave her an approximate time I would pick them up at and she made sure to have them ready by then. On pickup day, I drove out to her home which was minutes off Route 29 (behind the CVS on Moore Rd.) Her home, including her kitchen, were immaculate and very, very clean! Just a wonderful experience all around! Please consider giving your business to a local baker!

They had a good drive thru service going and we were the only walk up customers while we were there, but I'd definitely park and hang again at the nice play/sitting area, and maybe sometime i'll drive thru for a quick java too.

We started off with just a little trip to Locust Grove to try the much anticipated "Witch's Brew…read moreCafe". We arrived at Witch's Brew 30 minutes before closing. I ordered an XL iced sugar free caramel latte. My husband ordered an XL frozen "tuxedo" (white chocolate and dark chocolate), and he added strawberry. We also ordered a cherry cream cheese danish to go. My husband thought that his frozen tuxedo was "okay". I thought the same about my SF iced Caramel latte. Honestly it tasted almost exactly like an iced coffee from McDonalds, which I enjoy, but it didn't taste "special" if that makes sense? I'm still trying to find a coffee shop that leaves the "wow" factor. For the 2 coffees and the danish, it was $23, which I thought was on the higher end. Service however was excellent, and the coffeehouse itself, was eccentric and delightful. My husband and I heated up and split the danish when we got home. It was very flaky and very good! The café itself is quite a distance from my house, but if in the area, I would be willing to stop in again, and give another flavor of coffee a try. And I'd definitely order another baked goods!

Ordered a large cold brew with a splash of Half n' Half. Drink was strong, cold, and delicious! Got the ole neurons firing! Cool ambiance. There is not a lot of space - but there are a few chairs and a couple of small couches to hang out. I wanted to work on my laptop for awhile - but they have zero tables to sit at and place your laptop on a table. They offer free WiFi. I note that they periodically host Dungeons & Dragons sessions on Sunday evenings (see their Facebook page for more information and to sign up/register). I thought that was pretty cool. Service was good. Staff was friendly. Paid with Apple Pay. #WitchsBrewCafe
