    Finally visited all the Bakeshop locations!…read more As with the other locations this business is just so good! I enjoy the McLovin breakfast sandwiches and wash it down with a New Orleans Style coffee. And then will get a slice of PB Nutella pie to take home and eat later. Eventually I'll try the other items but these three are so good that it's hard to not get them every time I visit!

    Surprising customer service and a surprisingly bad cake…read more My daughter wanted a special cake for her 18th birthday. She had her heart set on an almond cake, like the one Whole Foods used to make. I reached out to several local bakeries on Yelp, asking whether anyone could make an 8" toasted almond crème cake with mascarpone icing. Monica from the Bakeshop responded almost immediately and said they could make a 6" version of what I described, but with almond-flavored buttercream instead. I agreed, paid for the cake, and picked it up the following day. That evening, after the candles and singing, we sat down to enjoy the cake. Unfortunately, it was anything but enjoyable. The cake was dense, dry, and tasteless. Aside from a slight sweetness, the icing was virtually flavorless as well. The only thing "almond" about the cake seemed to be the slivered almonds sprinkled on top. It was disappointing for all of us--and, since I was the one who ordered it, a little embarrassing for me. I reached out to Monica and described the problems. She asked me to return the cake so she could "evaluate the product and address the issue before issuing a refund." That wasn't a problem. Despite three of us trying to eat it, we still had about ¾ of the cake left because nobody wanted more than a few bites. Then Monica disappeared. I heard nothing after returning the cake, and my follow-up emails went unanswered. I'm not a baker--and, based on this cake, I'm not entirely convinced the person who made it was either. My suspicion is that they used almond flour instead of wheat flour, perhaps thinking that was how to make an almond-flavored cake. Sadly, as I've learned from watching far too much The Great British Baking Show, almond flour doesn't actually provide the almond flavor most people associate with almond cake, and using too much of it can produce exactly the kind of dense, dry texture we ended up with. A bad cake is one thing. Taking the cake back to "evaluate" it, and then simply ignoring the customer afterward turned a disappointing birthday purchase into a genuinely bad experience.

    I really wanted to love this place…read more My family and I chose to come here for Easter because it's dog-friendly -- which felt like the perfect combination for us. They even have a dog menu, and the patio setup is honestly beautiful. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and aesthetically on point. The staff greets you right away, and first impressions were genuinely great. We chose to sit outside on the balcony so my puppy could join us, and that space alone is worth noting -- fire pits going, cozy atmosphere, just really well done. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. We ordered food for all of us, including my daughter and my puppy. My food and my puppy's food came out fairly quickly, but my daughter's meal never arrived. After waiting quite a while, I had to flag down the waiter, only to be told -- after the fact -- that they didn't even have what she ordered. At no point before that did anyone communicate this. So now she has to reorder, and we're waiting all over again while the rest of us are already eating. When her food finally arrives, there's no silverware. Just... dropped off with no thought to the fact that she actually needed utensils to eat. We also ordered lemonade, which was great -- but when the waiter offered to bring more after the issues, it never came. To try and make up for things, they brought out a dessert that looked beautiful, but when we asked what was in it (due to food sensitivities), the waiter had no idea. He eventually came back with an allergy sheet, which felt like an afterthought rather than informed service. At that point, I asked to speak with a manager. Instead, the waiter told me, "I just got out of trouble -- what can I do to make this right?" That response alone was incredibly off-putting and unprofessional. We ultimately just had my daughter's meal removed from the bill and decided to move on. Even my puppy's waffles -- which was one of the things we were most excited about -- came out slightly burnt. Overall, the lack of communication, poor follow-through, and disorganized service completely overshadowed what could have been a great experience. It's disappointing because the space and concept have so much potential. Unfortunately, I can't overlook the service issues.
