I reserved a cake which was chocolate flavored with fresh whip and strawberries. Once at the establishment I paid and the baker decorated as requested in under a few minutes.

Definitely our new favorite place for a good cake at a reasonable price.

I didn't buy the cake personally but my best friend got me a cake from Nancy for my birthday. And…read morelet me just tell you, it was the BEST CAKE EVER. I am super picky with my cake but this one was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Not only was the cake (2 tier chocolate) delicious, but it was also so beautiful!!! It was cars themed and she captured a few scenes from radiator springs including Ramon's body shop, flos cafe, tow mater, cozy cone, and more! I could not have asked for a better cake for my birthday! It was definitely the highlight of the year!!! I did also get to see the messages between Nancy and my best friend when ordering the cake and instructions! The best customer service for sures! She explained everything thoroughly and made sure to let us know what was edible and what to watch out for! I will definitely be ordering from her in the future!!!

So so good! Great atmosphere, delicious pastries, and kind and helpful staff. A true gem.read more

My guilty pleasure is definitely the sweet treats here--they truly have it all! Choosing what to…read moreorder is never easy, but this time I went with the classic almond croissant and decided to try something new with the passion fruit-filled croissant. Wow! The passion fruit filling was absolutely amazing--fruity, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The white chocolate topping was the perfect finishing touch and complemented it beautifully. I planned to eat only half and save the rest for later, but it was so good that I couldn't resist finishing the whole thing. I first visited during their soft opening in 2023 and have stopped by occasionally ever since. After this visit, though, I think it's officially become my go-to spot for all things delicious. Every visit feels like a treat, and I can't wait to come back for more!

We have always loved the farm.

Have gone there years for their amazing gift shop. The nostalgic toy area is so fun to look through but all the other things they have in the back room are beautifully displayed and reasonably priced. Very excellent fresh veggies, and other condiments that they have for sale. But the pies are off the Chart. The fruit pies are well worth the 25 or so dollars they cost they're huge. They're deep dish they're fresh the delicious the large size pot pies are amazing but I love it when I can get the miniatures for $7.95 for one. They are just adorable. They heat up well and they taste delicious. All around really beautiful place. If you go at the end of the summer, they have all you can pick flower days for like five dollars for all the flowers you could pick and they're absolutely beautiful they have tours for little kids and at Halloween they have beautiful pumpkins that you can go out and pick yourself for an amazing experience and memory with your kids.

He got me strawberry shortcake, horchata, snickers, raspberry lemon, and a mystery flavor because the other ones I wanted were sold out. All the macarons were lacking in favor, some of them are stale,the snickers doesn't taste like snickers it only taste like peanut butter, the strawberry shortcake lacks on flavor, and the horchata has too much cinnamon and it was overwhelming. There was little to no filling to each of the macarons as well. Anyways, we give it a shot and didn't really like it very much. The only macaron my partner likes was the raspberry lemon.

First of the cafeteria has a wide range of lunch option that are all delicious! I normally get the burritos or tortas but my partner has also tried some of the salads they offer and everyone has been amazing. But the baked goods are really where this place shines. I'm always impressed with the large variety of options that the bakery has. And while I haven't tried them all, every single one that I have had has been absolutely amazing! I would have to say that my top pick however would be their Tres Leches cups. It is absolutely divine and is hands down the best Tres Leches I have ever had no contest. They also do wedding cakes. I had my wedding this year in Monterey and they were able to provide an absolutely beautiful two layered cake with a perfectly spiced carrot cake as the bottom layer and a wonderfully moist Tres Leches cake as the top layer. Absolutely everyone was raving about how good the cake was!
