    a slice of cake being cut
    Cody P.

    Ice cream season is coming. While I'm very excited to return to the many shops that will be re-opening within the next few weeks, I'll always have that extra love for Carvel for not leaving us to die during the winter like the rest of them. My girlfriend and I are pretty ice cream intensive people, and having spent the last 10 years living outside of the city, going out for ice cream at all was something we could only do half the year. Some of our fondest memories this winter are of us trucking it across town, sometimes through bad weather, just to get some cones to take back home. I'll be honest. With the amount of money we've spent here, we've never ordered anything but straight up soft serve. Their stock soft serve is my personal favorite. Another very important aspect is that they roll their sprinkles on, which makes them vastly superior to so many places who timidly spoon them around the cone. If it's possible for me to count the sprinkles on my ice cream, I'm gonna need some talking down. We also come here for ice cream cake to celebrate every possible event. Valentine's Day, Anniversaries, Birthdays, 1+ months since we've had ice cream cake, all of them. Life is so much better when you have a Fudgy the Whale with something funny written on it in your freezer. I'm sad that I always overlooked this place, assuming a national chain wouldn't compete in quality with the dozens of local places at every corner.

    I came here by chance because I got a gift card from somebody. I have to say their chicken pot pie…read morewith a puff pastry crust was literally the best pot pie I've ever tried. (don't let my mom read this review.) it's visually stunning and incredibly tasty. I will be back.

    Such a cute cafe and a lot more spacious than I had anticipated! Staff is also very friendly…read more There are a variety of drink options, pastries (sweet and savory), and even some grab and go lunch items available. They also sell some very cute greeting cards, earrings, magnets, etc. We ordered two drinks (Ube Espresso, Crème Brûlée latte), a flower pot mini cake (chocolate cake with raspberry filling in a decorative flower pot), a crème brûlée donut, and a spinach puff. The desserts were good, with the flower pot mini cake being our favorite. The chocolate cake was moist and the raspberry filling was balanced. We didn't love the flower frosting on top, but it was very pretty. The donut was very unique and filled to the brim with a fluffy cream - though we both thought it could've had a bit more flavor. The dough was perfect - soft and pillowy. The crème brûlée top made for a fun eating experience as the thin hard sugar had a satisfying crunch. The spinach puff was also delicious. Flaky pastry and cheesy filling - very comforting. The stars of the show were the drinks. The coffee was superb - balanced, smooth, and rich in flavor. While I didn't find the ube flavor to stand out, the ube espresso drink was still one of my favorite coffee drinks I've had. The Crème Brûlée latte was my friend's favorite - it was the perfect dessert drink. It even had the sugar crust on top. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

    Back in the day this spot was a music store, not like Area Records where CDs, tapes, vinyl were…read moresold, but instruments. Not even sure when they closed to be honest. Kind of sad to see it gone after seeing it my entire life. There is a bakery there now. It's basically strictly...order and pick it up type of place. They sell cookies and other pastries at the front. It's a "help yourself" and you scan a QR code to pay. So! Ok, I do love the new technology where you can eat out and scan a QR code and pay that way. Or using a QR code for so many other things. I don't however like this set up. I think it's really weird. Cash is also an option here. I wanted to originally pay cash. I got 2 cookies and a brownie. Says "ring bell if you need change" I press the little button 3x and I can see people in the back. Not one person came out after I hit the button. That's booooo! It's like, why have it if you're going to ignore it?! Just close the doors to the public and have it strictly as an online business. I love love trying bakeries like this vs buying anything store bought. When I'm home, I look for places like this, Amish farms, Mennonite farms..any place that sells fresh baked cookies. In Idaho we don't have many great bakeries and if they are around...they are miles away and driving in Boise traffic these days is SO NOT worth the hassle for a cookie lol Also, if really don't eat many cookies and stuff but shoooot when I'm here in NY visiting and I'm close to Amish and Mennonite farms where they make INCREDIBLE baked goods...I definitely indulge lol. The cookies here and brownies were... ya know, good, but would I write home to mama about them? Nah. Hell, I'm staying at my moms and I didn't even tell her about them after I ate them. The cookies were pipe $2 a piece, I think, small brownie was $3. Honestly, cookies should be .75 and brownies... $1.00 There was really no variation in tastes between the two. They use something in their baked goods that made each one taste exactly the same...except you obviously could taste the chocolate on top of whatever they use, in the brownie. Would I recommend? I mean, maybe? If someone asked, I'd be like "there's a bakery in downtown Geneva, buuuut..." and then shrug my shoulders and give that crooked mouth look like... meh Now, maybe their cakes and whatever else they make are bomb af. I'll never know bc 1) I won't be going back lol and 2) I don't see myself ever buying a cake. Again, I see bakeries like this, it's a small business, I love supporting small businesses especially in a town where I grew up, went to high school in, etc...I see them and have to try. I tried it and now... I'm good: I can't say anything about the staff, because they ignored me lol, the place is small, it's clean. It's a bakery haha! Thanks for reading. Cheers, YelperSweets!

    Amazing cakes & super accommodating. We got the Chocolate Chocolate cake and it was smooth, rich, &…read morenot too sweet. I'm not a big cake gal but I would love to get that cake again.
