Love this place! I tried their ciabatta, Nutella bread pudding, and baklava cheesecake. I was…read moredoubting their ciabatta at first when I saw it but after actually toasting it and having it with a sandwich it was crisp and airy. The Nutella bread pudding is very indulgent but had such a delicious crust on top and a milk gooey center. The baklava cheesecake took my breath away. It just might be the best cheesecake I've ever had. It's VERY sweet so I doubt anyone can finish one whole piece in one sitting but worth every single calorie. The baked and other cashier were lovely! Very kind even though I came pretty much right before closing. There's plenty of choices and also some room for sitting down if you want to eat in there!

The customer service is great and the drinks come out quick, even during the lunch rush. I'm a simple girl so when I see a croquette, it's going on my tray. Today I opted for a kimchi croquette and I was lucky to get the last one. Thankfully, their holiday drinks are still on the menu and the gingerbread latte was delish.

When I first started going to Roggenart European Bakery, I would order a sandwich to go, and…read morewhether it was hot or cold, they packaged it in a clear plastic container. The presentation was beautiful--colorful, appealing, and the bread stayed firm and crusty. They truly use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, that has changed. Now, hot sandwiches are wrapped in paper and then in foil. This method traps moisture, causing the bread--especially their delicious sourdough--to become soggy instead of crisp. It seems like this change was made to save money, but it really takes away from both the presentation and the quality of the sandwich. For a sandwich that costs $12.95, I would gladly pay a few extra cents for the original packaging if it meant keeping the bread fresh and crusty.

After stalking this dessert truck for a few weeks, I decided to place a special order. All I can…read moresay is, BELIEVE THE HYPE!!! From the moment I contacted LaToya (the owner) to the time I picked up my order, everything went effortlessly! Champagne & Cupcakes stopped by my neighborhood food truck gathering, but I was out of town. After that event, and hearing so many positive compliments, I started to follow her social media pages and I was even more impressed. Champagne & Cupcakes has a food truck and stops by events, has a set time they sell during the weekends and takes special orders. What I absolutely love about this shop is that you can mix and match your cupcake flavors. Meaning, I ordered 24 cupcakes and was able to mix and match as many flavors as I want. I ordered the Oreo, Biscoff, Strawberry Shortcake, Red Velvet, Peach Cobbler and Banana Pudding. When I say my entire family loved these cupcakes, WE LOVED THESE CUPCAKES!! Moist, delicious and quality ingredients used in every bite!! Don't think cupcakes is the only thing this shop sells, because they carry peach cobblers, milkshakes and so much more! The fact that LaToya is so personable, friendly and professional, made my experience top tier! Did I mention Champagne & Cupcakes is Black and Woman Owned?! After my family devoured the cupcakes, I reached out to the owner to let her know that she put BOTH feet in those cupcakes! I am a new fan and a lifetime customer!! PS - LaToya is now my new BFF and Cupcake Pusher! Lol Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! And if you happen to have an extra strawberry shortcake left behind, hook me up! Lol

(Now, that makes it sound like I was driving around with some poor person, firing off dumb questions all day. Fortunately, my assistant is a robot. I think... or at least I hope. I ask some really dumb questions.) Somehow, I missed Dunkin' entirely and pulled into the next parking lot to make a U-turn. That's when I spotted Touché Touchet. So, I skipped the doughnut--also, Dunkin', that's how you spell it, okay? Walking in, I was immediately impressed. The place is immaculately clean, bright, and inviting, with counters overflowing with gorgeous desserts. One employee was behind the counter, finishing up a cake order for another customer. While I waited, I took my time checking out their selection. They seem to specialize in cupcakes, but they also offer cannoli, cakes, cookies, brownies, and a variety of other treats. I decided on a chocolate raspberry cupcake and a cannoli. Now, if you know me, you know I don't go easy on a cannoli rating. These things are in my blood--literally. My doctor keeps insisting it's "cholesterol," but I know the truth. I ate the cannoli right there in my car (hence the lack of pictures--nobody wants to see my dashboard dining setup). Touché Touchet could use some comfortable seating, but it doesn't seem like that kind of spot. The cannoli itself was pretty good--the shell was crisp, with just a slight hint of sogginess, and it was generously filled. The filling was cheesy, sweet, and delicious, though a bit heavy on chocolate chips for my taste. I'm a purist--I prefer my cannoli unadulterated by excess chocolate. But overall? Solid. The cupcake, I brought home to share with my wife. It sat out for a couple of hours but still held up beautifully. In hindsight, I should have refrigerated it, as it was a tad dry by the time we ate it, but that's probably on me. The raspberry filling was phenomenal--bright, fruity, and flavorful--and the chocolate cake was rich and dark. Absolutely delicious. Well, now I know exactly where I'll be stopping the next time I get a sweet tooth in the area

Don't even get me started on the pastries. They are swoon worthy. Better than any bakery in the area. The croissants are perfectly buttery.

There were so many people so it took a little longer to get my lunch. I was really disappointed in their very famous tomato soup. Honestly, I saw them open a plastic container of the soup and put it into a heater so nothing is made there and it makes sense. Honestly, they are mainly just opening packages and warming them up, but I will say my chicken salad Sandwich was so good. It's like an elevated cafeteria/vending machine sandwich, but it really really hit the spot. They used to offer slices of bread when dining inside. I remember this from years ago, but they don't do that anymore. The prices here are a little bit more than I remember but again it's a year 2025 but it's a solid little spot for a fast casual lunch.

Surprisingly because it is the number one most popular flavor. The cake was moist but the frosting is way too sweet even for me who has a sweet tooth. Of all the flavors I tried, my top three favorite were the carrot cake, almond cake, and the red velvet. I really love that they have mini cupcakes because I can try more flavors and not have to workout as long to burn off all the calories. I also purchased the peanut butter cookie which comes in a 3-pack for my hubby. He enjoyed them. I tried one and the flavor was good and it was partially soft and partially crunchy. The staff who assisted me with my cupcakes was super friendly and gave me her recommendations on which flavors she liked best and which were the most popular.

I would definitely choose the Aloha cookie over any cookie at Crumbl and it's way cheaper too. I also purchased a maple bacon and German chocolate cupcake, which my husband and I split. Both were delicious, however, we thought the bacon was a bit too smoky. I wanted to try the salted caramel, but it wasn't available. Aside from cupcakes and cookies, they also sell brownies, pies, and prepackaged popcorn. They had sample popcorn available, which I took advantage of.

As for taste of the cake - everyone who had a slice raved on how good it was! So, I think I may have found my go to bakery for birthday cakes / other special occasions. An added bonus - the price point wasn't bad. I paid $80 for a cake that feeds 12-15 people. I've heard other places charge $120. I also loved that my money went to a locally owned business.
