Jill was easy to work with, and efficient in her process. Very nice!…read more Asked her to do a cake 2 weeks notice, when all other bakeries said they were "booked" out. I didn't have specifics on what I wanted, I just knew I needed a paw patrol cake for my 4 year old daughter. I sent her some photos for inspiration and told her to "go for it". Cake turned out AMAZING. In design, AND flavor. Thanks, Jill! Will definitely be ordering from her again.

Jill is truly talented when it comes to both design and flavor options. I needed a cake to…read morecelebrate a 50th birthday, all with a Raiders theme. None of the other cake shops in Tahoe were returning my calls, but Jill picked up. She was kind, professional, and understood exactly how to bring my vision for the cake to life. Having visited quite a few bakeries over the years, I can say they all tend to have a similar overly sweet taste, but Jill's cakes and cupcakes struck a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. I'm genuinely blown away by the flavors she offers compared to the standard options around Tahoe. For any future cakes or cupcakes, she'll be my go-to. Thank you, Jill!

We saw them at the Kahle Farmers Market where they had a choice of 4 flavors, so I took one of each. In general ALL the cakes were dense and moist which I really like. Chocolate chocolate chip w/dark chocolate buttercream: Delicious. Great dark chocolate frosting, and a dense dark chocolate cake. Only negative, the chips were at the bottom of the cupcake and stuck to the wrapper. Carrot cake: I felt the cake was a little blah, but the icing was delish. Fresh Lemon: This was my runner up. Great lemon flavoring. Blue Velvet! (Vanilla bean cake with fresh blueberries and vanilla bean frosting): MY FAVORITE! The blue color draws your eye. This is a simple white cake with bits of FRESH blueberries throughout. Delicious, delicious!

Not sure what people are raving about with this place. Everything looks and tastes like it came in…read morefrozen from a wholesaler and then just defrosted. We got a chocolate croissant (only decent thing I got, but don't compare it to an artisanal made croissant where it's a dark golden brown with flaky crispy buttery layers). Their "croissants" are more like anemic, soft, moist bread. Also, got a cheese Danish. Starbucks sells a better cheese Danish than this place. The Danish was dry and hard and the center filling looked like it was pre-made frozen and just placed on top of the Danish. Finally, the worst of the worst, I got a personal size dutch apple crumble pie. Now THIS looked like it was made from scratch and I had hopes for this one. However, I took a piece of the crumble topping and ate it. It had an unusual funny taste. Almost like it was made with lavender. Didn't taste quite right. Then, when I got back to my hotel, I really dug into it. It wasn't just the crumble that was off, but the entire pie tasted of rancid spoiled butter. I had to spit it out, it was horrible. I can't believe they would serve that. I don't know how old that thing was, but they need better quality control. The only people I could see giving this place 5 stars on the food, are locals. Tahoe is behind when it comes to quality high end artisanal pastries. I have yet to find a decent coffee shop. Their sign boasts "Voted Best in Tahoe", but you'll see that almost every spot here has the same sign, from ice cream shops to bakeries to whatever else because there's literally nothing here. If you're from a big city, don't come here. Service was pleasant. No complaints.

The town is absolutely charming but what caught my attention was Sierra Chef. We made our way to the door and I was immediately in heaven as we entered the building. The store was filled with amazing Italian food items including pastas, sauces, and cheeses. There were chef prepared dinners for you to order to take home. Italian pastries and gelato tempted us. I gave in and ordered a pistachio gelato which was divine. My husband ordered a cookie and espresso which he said was perfectly prepared. I wish we would have had more time at Sierra Chef because we would have ordered more food items to try. The next time we are in the area, we will be making a stop to pick up some tasty treats!

She was super friendly and quick to give me her opinion on what she likes best! I ended up getting a cannoli, an almond croissant and a lavender donut. My favorite was the lavender donut. It tasted so fresh and not too sweet! So yum! The cannoli was also so good! The croissant was a little dry for me, I prefer a softer fluffier croissant so I probably wouldn't order that again. They were on the more expensive side, so this will only be a place I stop for a fancy treat once in a while. But they were good and tasted like they were made with quality ingredients

Loved the crispiness and flakiness of the almond croissant. It had just the right amount of almond flavor and wasn't too sweet too. The cinnamon roll the next day nuked in the microwave was perfect. Super sweet, as cinnamon rolls should be, and soft and fluffy. An indulgence!
