I went at a later time, so, it was really quiet, and nobody else was there. The girls that were working were really sweet and approachable too. I need to cut back on the treats, but, I will definitely try to go back to try something else!

I'm not Hispanic so I was a little nervous going in since I didn't know what is what but she made me feel very welcome. It's self service, which I didn't realize at first, but is nice - you take a tray and tongs and put what you want on the tray and they box it up for you. Nice mix of Mexican pastries and baked goods. My dinner hosts (who are Mexican) said the desserts were the best they've ever had! I would definitely go back if in the area again.

I highly recommend and always love supporting local small businesses.

We were initially working with another…read morebaker to make cheesecakes for our wedding dessert and they unfortunately were not professional and left us hanging in the wind. Fear not, Sweets by Kash to the rescue!!! I called Lindsey up about 3.5 months out from our wedding date and explained everything. She did say that was not her specialty, but man she hit it out of the park! We were having a small wedding and wanted to have cheesecake as our "cake". We already had a sweets table and wanted to beef up the options for guests, as well as pay homage to our first date. Our first date was at the Cheesecake Factory and we thought it would be perfect for us. It was easy to set up a tasting. We chose to pick up the cheesecake from Lindsey and have a little date night at home and test it all out. The packaging was super cute and the decorations on top were beautiful. But the flavors, WOW! I think cheesecake is so underrated. It's rich and creamy and is such a great dessert. We devoured the tasting cheesecake in a few days LOL. Honestly, with how simple everything was to set up and get answers to our questions immediately, I knew we had someone good. But the flavors, MMMMMMMMM!!! We didn't even finish an entire piece and I knew Lindsey was the baker for us. We love to support local businesses as well, so in the end everything worked out. So we booked Sweets by Kash and had her deliver to our venue and set up the cheesecake for us. They were all so beautiful and we got so many compliments on the taste. We ordered chocolate chip cheesecake and Oreo, as well as a gluten free chocolate chip cheesecake. Our GF guests really appreciated being able to eat a dessert in its entirety and said it was outstanding. We opted to save the top so we could enjoy that deliciousness all weekend, but someone walked away with it sadly. I will absolutely placing an order so we can celebrate our wedding anniversary with our special cheesecake (and no, I will not be waiting an entire year, because that cheesecake is too dang good to wait!). Thank you Lindsey for being amazing to work with and I don't have the professional photos back yet, but if you zoom in on this one, you can see the lovely set up in the background.

I love that it is light, rich, but not overly sweet. I am a huge fan of chocolate mousse in cake and they have perfected it. And to top it off with the chocolate ganache... YUM! I told my husband it's probably the best birthday cake I've had and I hope he remembers that for next year. We also picked up some almond croissants and chocolate croissants and both were delish... to me they were a bit on the smaller side though. The cafe is really cute and clean with a sitting area. We came an hour before closing, so options were limited but they do have a big display case and would love to go back and check out what else they have to offer. I am a fan of flourless cake- so hoping to get to try a slice the next visit.

I'm addition to their baked goods they also offer coffees, teas, and there's a small refrigerator with cheeses and some selections of wine and local honey on the side. The ambiance does have a bit of a European feel and there is a decent amount of indoor seating.

I wanted a mocha one so I said could I order it just in case there were only regular ones available and I was assured mocha would be available. Unfortunately, when I went to get the cake early on Mother's Day they did not have mocha. It was upsetting since we tried ordering it so I'd advise to order it anyway and pay for it prior because the cakes are good they just aren't reliable staff. Also they don't speak a ton of English so be sure to speak Spanish or being a Spanish speaker when going to order something specific.

They are always coming up with fun and unique flavors, and the stuff they post early in the morning is honestly half the reason I check Facebook. The staff were very friendly and gave recommendations on what the most popular flavors were. I always appreciate that in a place. The pastries are on the sweeter side for sure, so having a whole one can be a lot, but that is just me. Still totally worth it. The decor inside is so cute too. Definitely gives you Alice in Wonderland vibes with all the little trinkets and tea time touches. Super charming spot. If you are into sweets and fun vibes, it is a must-try.
