All these sweet confections were scrumptious! Staff were friendly, helpful, and customer service was great. I need to go back. They had cookie cakes, cakes, all kinds of amazing looking pastries, and several types of breakfast stollen that are begging to be eaten with a nice cuppa hot tea. I'll be back!

3 words: chicken pot pie…read more It is pot pie season, and sugaree, while they are known for the sweet treats, deliver serious punch with their pot pies. The best part? It is loaded with chicken! Exactly what you need! Super savory, with a beautiful shortbread pie crust that stays crispy even as it absorbs the filling. The interior is quaint. It feels like grandma's house with aged hardwood, antiques, and delicately manicured crown molding. The workers were wonderful. Super friendly, greeting everyone, and just super nice. Definitely a great sweet treat, or take out spot in dog town!

My wife and I hired Sugaree to make two wedding cakes. We booked them four months ahead of the…read morewedding and ordered a tiered cake and a sheet cake, both with raspberry filling. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we tried multiple times to contact the shop so we could set a delivery time on the wedding day for the cakes. It was very hard to get anyone from the shop to reply to our messages but we were finally able to speak to someone 5 days before our big day. On the day of the wedding, they delivered two cakes that looked really good on the outside. When we finally did the cake cutting, we discovered that they'd delivered two different cakes: one with chocolate filling and one with raspberry. Both cakes were dry. Considering what we paid for these cakes, the difficulty making contact with anyone from the shop, and the utterly unforgivable mistake of getting the order wrong (not to mention that the cakes were dry), we regret ordering from them for what was a really important event. They may shine most of the time but you'd never know it from the experience we had with them.

Have also tried different cake slices and their Bon Bons which zu really liked as well, except the caramel Bon Bons which seemed raw but we were told they put syrup in them which made sense for the texture we got but those were not a favorite. There is a lot to choose from in this cute little shop. The service is good but I would recommend knowing what you want before you go in terms of size and design as when we ordered our cake, my questions seemed to burden him and he did not really answer them at all. However, he wasn't rude or unfriendly , just not overly helpful either. Pricing is very reasonable as well. I chose this boutique because I didn't want to choose out of a book, I wanted something specific for my 50th birthday and this cakery delivered nicely.

Stopped by here prior to coming into the office to grab a cupcake to celebrate a coworkers…read morebirthday. Upon arriving, I noticed how cute the inside was before even entering. There is a parking lot on the side of the building, and on the street as well. Once you enter the inside, the smell of fresh baked goods hit you in the nose. They have a display case with all of the bakery items they have for sell. You can look straight ahead and see the kitchen area and staff making fresh goods. Staff were friendly and attentive, and made recommendations on items to try. I ordered an iced vanilla latte, a butter pecan cookie and a vanilla butter pecan cupcake. The vanilla latte was smooth, creamy and not too sweet. Their syrups are house made. The butter pecan cookie tasted exactly like butter pecan ice cream. It was soft and chewy, with a hint of salt on top to taste, and had a pecan placed on top. That was probably one of the best butter pecan cookies I've ever had. (Perfect cookie for the fall)

Cute little bakery!…read more After eating breakfast, I was craving something sweet so I decided to stop in at Bello's. This place is nestled away in a little strip and if you blink, you could miss it. I was blown away at everything they had to offer and wasn't sure where to start. I ended up getting three mini cookies: the thumbprint (pink), parelle (stars), and non-parelle. Each were unique with their own flavor but were just what I needed for a little pick-me-up. The pink cookie had bits of pecan and while I'm not a huge pecan fan in general, I didn't mind it! The other two were more shortbreadish in taste, but still had their own unique flavor. I think they have something for everyone depending on what you're looking for. The workers were incredibly friendly and the pricing was fair, but less than what I was expecting to pay. I get my nails done in the area, so I can already see this place being my go-to for snacks!

Bello's Bakery is easily one of my favorite bakeries in West County. They offer a huge variety of…read morebaked goods, and everything always looks fresh and inviting. My personal favorites are their donuts and danishes -- both are consistently delicious. This visit, I decided to try one of their cookies. While it wasn't quite as standout as some of their other items, it was still fresh and well made. I also noticed several beautiful cakes being picked up while I was there, so that's definitely next on my list to try. Service is always a 5 star!

One flavor of ice cream available? Not a good starting sign!…read more Now I didn't get as many outdoor pictures this weekend as I had intended... but that's what happens when I heatwave happens in the middle of nowhere right? (But at least I remembered the food photo this time! So I"m not totally on dementia notice yet :) ) But I was having one of those goof-off days, (sorta) spent more than I should have at the World Market (I can't help it! The Sasume soft drinks -ALWAYS- Get me! (the Greatest Japanese invention ever :) ) So I'm REALLY needing Ice-cream. but i mean real ice cream. Then I remembered this place I promised myself I would stop in.. Jilly's. Driven past it a few times, saw it had once gotten a USA today recommendation, and the big sign had "cupcakes, ice cream and coffee" written right there. Go in and there's not really a vibe to the place. There is an ice cream counter and a cup-cake counter, and a couple of soda fridges. The problem is.. I'm going in wanting ice cream, make my way over ot check and there's ONLY ONE tub in the entire case with anything in it. And it's BUTTER PECAN??? I swear, maybe i just need to lower my expectations or something? But then how do I be the best "Yelpee" i can be? Anyway enough about the introspective for now. So I'm here, let's see what else we can have problems with today, shall we? The "coke" fridge has a limited supply of drinks.. I guess the stockers hadn't run yet today? (so -1 star for no ice cream/drinks). Well, it's a heatwave, so coffee's out. and that just leaves Cupcakes.... and wow.. these things are HUGE! And that's just the cupcake, that's not counting the icing on top! Basically, two entirely different layers.. one for the cake and one for the frosting.. (talk about a sugar coma!) Anyway, time to take a pack of 4 to go... (the sit down locale wasn't really much to my recollection, it just seemed "there" as if this wasn't a good day as I don't' recall a lot of the amenities as shown in most Yelpers photos., or I was just too hot to notice. ). so it's grab and go... And I realize, just looking at them; this is not one of those deserts you can eat and drive, so maybe a full sealed rack is a good thing right?) I make it home and wouldn't you know it; I forgot that cupcakes were actually "Stuffed".. Surprise!! 3 deserts in one! Cake, Filling, and Icing! Anyway, I don't even make it all the way through the first cupcake as a whole before I realize... Yep, Sugar Coma all the way! Basically, you've been warned you can order more than 1 cupcake to yourself, but count on leftovers if you do!! Anyway, I finally snapped out of my sugar coma and got around to writing things before i go for another sugar coma (dont' forget, I ordered 4 cupcakes!!). So yes these things are huge and they are priced a little more than usual cupcakes, but absolutely worth every penny So IRONICALLY, if i had gone in for Cupcakes alone... this would be a 5* review. As I was originally going for ice cream (And am so OVER butter pecan), 4 *'s it is at least for me. but we've given you the steps to get your own 5* time at Jilly's!

Hank's Cheesecake is, without question, the best cheesecake I've ever had--and that's saying a lot,…read moreconsidering I'm from the Northeast and have traveled extensively. The flavors are plentiful, the creativity is unmatched, and the quality of the ingredients is truly unrivaled. I honestly don't think there's a better cheesecake shop that I've encountered anywhere in my travels. The staff is generally very helpful and welcoming, with Lindsy in particular being a consistent standout at the front register over the years. I've been a loyal customer for a long time and have easily spent thousands of dollars on Hank's cheesecakes for both personal celebrations and professional events. The product itself has always been worth every penny. That said, I was disappointed to learn of the new policy charging $2 simply to slice a cheesecake. When purchasing a $25-$400+ cheesecake, an additional fee for a task that takes roughly 20 seconds feels unnecessary and, frankly, a bit off-putting. While I understand that rising costs are impacting businesses everywhere, this type of nickel-and-diming can feel discouraging--especially to long-standing, repeat customers who have consistently supported the business. Hank's Cheesecake remains exceptional, and the product is second to none. I hope management reconsiders this policy, as it slightly detracts from what has otherwise been an outstanding customer experience for many loyal patrons.
