I also thought the cookies were to die for with an amazing lemon flavor. I have been to $100 dollar a plate very high end restaurants that did not have deserts as fancy as these. Your guests for a wedding or birthday, holiday will be Very, very impressed. People were literally standing around talking about how amazing the decorating on the pastries was. That sad part was it was a little hard to eat them because they are truly works of art. You will not be disappointed.

All the pastries in the showcase looked so delicious and the smell of freshly baked croissants and baguettes it was amazing. I ended up getting a pistachio French eclair and also a ham and cheese croissant and for my drinks I decided to get the white chocolate iced latte. The lady working was so sweet she warmed our croissants while seated and it was done in a matter of minutes. Everything was delicious and the quality was amazing! Very fresh and the flavors were perfect. Definitely will be back.

This place makes me mad... I'll go in for 1 cookie and leave with a whole bag of desserts and…read morecoffee. If you like sweets, beware, you might just buy everything. They might seem a bit pricey (i'll spend $25 easily on their specialty cookies and coffee) but it's worth the price IMO. Especially when you have places like crumbl cookie charging $5 for an underbaked cookie. The service is everything, every person I've ever dealt with here has been very welcoming and generally tend to remember us when we come in :) Make sure to get there pretty early, as they do tend to sell out of all the popular desserts and there's always open street parking in front of the shop in you go early :)

The lady who greeted me was super nice and friendly recommended me a couple flavors which I ended up going with the cookie butter and also the new banana pudding cake. After paying and leaving, we ended up eating him in the car and they absolutely nailed those flavors. The banana pudding was really good, soft cake with banana pudding, and their original on top. The cookie butter was a star. It's a cookie butter cake with cookie butter icing their original frosting, and they even had Biscoff cookies baked into the bottom. It was really really good.

I wish these cakes were not so good. I have to talk myself from stopping by on a daily basis. Oh…read moresure, you think "I can just buy one", but then you can't pick just one flavor because they are all so good. Then you get home and think "I can eat just a little" but then those late night craving hit and next thing you know.... These cakes are very well done and taste even better than they look.

I would give this 1,000 stars if I could. Finally a restaurant that is not a chain in Brandon!…read more The most attentive staff, the owner was awesome, and the place is quaint and clean! But let me tell you about the food! Oh mygahhhhhhhhhhh! I had the Monica sandwich, my friend had The piggy sandwich, we mentioned we love meatballs, but hmmm, how are they? and the sweet waitress said how amazing they are just try one & the owner insisted we not share one and brought out two... I WILL be having that meatball sub soon! Yummmm! Then Robby (I believe that's his name), the owner, got sneaky and brought us both a mini cannoli! Holy cannoli! How can a cannoli be crunchy and creamy and light at the same time? idk but it was! This place also has items you can buy all from Italy! Pastas, sauces, etc. the coffee, beer and wine bar looked enticing too. But since I was on my business lunch break I had to pass. But... i will be taking the hubby and/or family there for dinner. They have pasta dishes that I know I Neeeed In my life! They had gelato toooo! I gotta go back! Soon!

Stopped by here on a whim about a month ago after kicking around the Brandon Mall on afternoon…read more Wanted a good sandwich. I was AMAZED and had to revisit. Had the Italian the first time. Bomb! Drive down for a 2nd go - I live about 30 minutes north of Brandon - totally worth the drive. Thought tonight, I'll get Luca Brasi. Jeeez Louise - SO GOOD. That horseradish hits on another level! Employees are super welcoming and helpful. Chill, hole-in-the-wall, locals-vibe with authentic Italian decor. Will def make the drive again. Skip all the other Brandon crappy chains. This is THE SPOT.

I came across this bakery on Yelp and decided to order some cupcakes through one of the food…read moredelivery facilities (Door Dash or Uber Eats) to try out prior to my son's upcoming birthday. My order was canceled so I contacted the owner Vicky. She informed me that the facility did not remove her business as requested and apologized for the confusion. She liked to ensure personalized desserts for her clients, which was something that those food delivery facilities could not accurately convey. After learning about the owner's mission to provide allergy-free desserts and her attention to detail, I decided to book her bakery to make my son's birthday cake. My husband picked it up at a scheduled time on the day of the party and was thrown off by the man who answered the door without a shirt on. The owner was thoughtful and checked on us later on during the day. My 2-year old son enjoyed the design and taste of the cupcakes. The guests loved the design of the cupcake cake, but did not like the taste. It was due to my request for no sugar, because my son doesn't eat sugary desserts. But the bakery made the cupcakes vegan and sugar-free based on my request, so they definitely did what was asked of them. In the future, I'll get the guests a different dessert.

I've been inside before to pick up delivery orders and I've anyways wanted to try it. I'm glad I got to!

Her treats used to taste so fresh and delicious but unfortunately these were the opposite.
