From the moment I reached out to her and inquired about specialty cookies, I knew I'd found the right person. Audrey was wonderfully pleasant and confident that she could provide what I was looking for. I explained to her that we were having "2 Legit to Quit" 90's themed party (because Halloween plus birthdays require extra-ness) and I thought some number "2" sugar cookies would be perfect. She asked if there were any specific colors I wanted and she took it from there. I ordered the cookies a week in advance and they were ready as scheduled and I was able to pick them up without hassle. I will definitely work with Audrey in the future, she's reasonably priced, detailed and just an overall joy to work with.

The attention to detail she ALWAYS provides is unmatched. It may be hard to believe but it was as equally delicious! What you receive from Fleming's Simply Divine Sweets isn't just a dessert, it's a true work of art, a gift from the culinary gods that is a true blessing. Besides being so incredibly talented, Steffy is also one of the kindest souls you will ever meet. You taste her love and passion for what she does in every bite. What are you waiting for? You have a birthday, anniversary, graduation, church function, baby shower, or family reunion coming up? Maybe you just simply want to taste an edible piece of art? You don't need an excuse to order some of her "should-be-illegal-because-they-taste-so-dang-good" cookies or cupcakes. Did I mention the rum cake or pound cakes?

I have ordered a slew of treats from The Sweet Box Charlotte - the kremas cakes, red velvet cupcakes, sweet potato cupcakes, and vanilla cupcakes, and her products are delivered with the right level of sweetness and are perfectly moist. All my guests were in awe of how delicious her treats were. They are flavorful and well presented. There is no doubt that she puts a lot of care and detail into her craft. I recently ordered cupcakes for a Friendsgiving event, and she delivered above and beyond. I highly recommend Melisa Tate for any event or occasion. Can't wait for the next holiday for another excuse to order :)

10/10 Highly Recommend! Suarez's Bakery is one of my…read moreabsolute favorite bakeries in Charlotte, and they never disappoint. I stopped by today hoping to grab some of their famous long johns, but the morning crowd had already bought them all out--which honestly tells you everything you need to know about how popular their baked goods are. Some of their favorites definitely sell out early, so getting there sooner is always a good idea. Since the long johns were gone, I picked up two Boston cream donuts and a slice of their strawberry chiffon cake. The strawberry chiffon cake was absolutely incredible. It was so light and airy that it truly felt like eating a cloud with strawberries. It was fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. The Park Road location is my go-to, although they also have a location at Optimist Hall. The customer service is always friendly, and I'm usually in and out quickly, even when they're busy. Suarez's offers an amazing selection of cakes, cookies, donuts, cupcakes, and other baked treats. Everything I've tried has been consistently delicious. I've also used them several times for birthday cakes, and they have always done a fantastic job. Their cakes not only look beautiful, but they taste just as good, making them a great option for special occasions. Another bonus is that they're open on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., which is perfect when you're craving something sweet over the weekend. If you're looking for a bakery in Charlotte that delivers quality, consistency, and delicious desserts, Suarez's Bakery is definitely worth the visit. Just remember: if you're after one of their popular items, get there early because the favorites tend to sell out. 10 out of 10, highly recommend for all your bakery needs--from everyday treats to special occasion cakes.

This location of Suárez Bakery sits in the Park Road Shopping Center, just outside of Optimist Hall…read morewhere their other spot is located. The bakery focuses on small-batch, homemade pastries and artisan baked goods, and there are definitely some standouts. The dulce de leche pastries are fantastic, and anything with guava is usually a great choice. Compared to the Optimist Hall location, the aesthetics here feel a little more understated. The display case was a bit sparse during my visit, though they did have some seasonal cookies available. One thing I wish they had is outdoor seating--it would be nice to grab a pastry and enjoy it outside. Parking here is very easy since it's in a large shopping center, which makes it a convenient stop. I also wish they stayed open later, because it would be a great place to grab dessert after dinner given how many restaurants are nearby. Insider tip: If you're visiting, keep an eye out for the dulce de leche or guava pastries--they're some of the best items in the case. Overall, a solid bakery stop for artisan pastries and baked treats, especially if you're already in the Park Road area.

Review for Sprouts Farmers Market…read more As a foodie transplant from the West Coast, I was curious to see how this newer location in NoDa would stack up--especially since this style of grocery concept paired with residential living has been popular out west for years. Having a market as the anchor for a large apartment complex is a smart move and a fantastic amenity for residents who want convenience right at their doorstep. First impressions: The store is clean, bright, well-stocked, and thoughtfully laid out. It still feels new, and the team does a great job keeping everything organized and inviting. Parking is surprisingly easy thanks to the garage at the base of the building, which is a big plus given the busy intersection at Tryon and North Davidson. What I really enjoy: * The bulk section is one of the highlights--I can easily get lost browsing spices, grains, and specialty ingredients. * The whole body and wellness section is also strong, with a nice variety of products that make browsing fun. * They carry some delightful bakery items, like their brioche buns, which are soft, flavorful, and perfect for an elevated burger night at home. A thoughtful note for fellow shoppers: Prices are generally competitive, but it's still worth keeping an eye on them, as some items can run higher depending on the category. One area where I personally still lean toward other retailers is in the sustainable animal protein space. I appreciate stores that clearly communicate sourcing and animal welfare standards, so I continue to purchase most of my proteins elsewhere. That said, Sprouts shines in many other categories, especially pantry staples, produce, and specialty items. Overall, this location is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. It's convenient, enjoyable to shop, and offers a fresh, modern grocery experience. Whether you live nearby or are just exploring NoDa, it's definitely worth stopping in and seeing what they have to offer. Bottom line: Clean, convenient, fun to browse, and a great neighborhood market--with standout bulk and wellness sections that make repeat visits easy.

The Italian crème cake was an easy 10/10, super rich, moist, and decadent without being overwhelming. You can tell it's done right. The strawberry cream horn was also really good.

They have a small outdoor seating area, which is nice, because the inside is very... cozy. Staff is friendly and helped us choose these great desserts Also had their tiramisu here in the past and it was delicious. Overall, really solid bakery.

I love how they are able to build an inclusive workforce by employing skills in customer service, sanitation, and making handcrafted drinks. I ordered a Chai Latte with a shot of espresso, which had a pretty standard taste. They also have a variety of baked goods, which I learned they make at their own bakery and transport to this store. I got the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie (they weren't kidding when they said "ultimate"; it had a lot of chocolate chips in it, of different sizes too). I don't think the batch I got was fresh because it had a date that was from last week, but it was refrigerated so it was okay. Overall, the cookie had a crumbly consistency and its taste was average; I did like it a little better after I heated it up.
