I am so happy to have found Royal deli and Bakery Alejandro (I believe is his name) is the most…read moresweetest man -extremely accommodating and he is very proud of his beautiful work, as he should be . This is the second time my shop has ordered a birthday cake for my staff, the first one was a carrot cake. This was a very special request of chocolate and banana. I am no professional baker by any means however, I bake and have done enough events to know that bakeries do not like to use fresh bananas because they brown easily. Royal Bakery was not scared. He provided a delicious moist chocolate cake with bananas and whipped cream, and the birthday girl was extremely pleased. when I had ordered the cake. I told him he had full creative control due to the whipped cream frosting I knew that adding any type of color would be difficult, but he came through for me as I had mentioned the birthday girl Very excited and pleased with how delicious the cake was. The whole staff was ranting and raving about how good it was this is my new go to Bakery. I have also tried some of his fresh baked cookies ,delicious very well executed and beautifully decorated. This is a very small establishment two display cases separated by his register with a couple of tables nestled inside it definitely gives independently owned and operated. Small but delicious packed with customer service place lol trust me order your cake here don't be scared to do out of the box orders as this gentleman seems classically trained with French pastry. His croissants are amazing. Overall, I can't wait to try other offerings from this establishment. Thank you so much for coming through for us Royal, deli and bakery. We will always be back.

She was always on top of my questions and requests, never did she leave me unanswered. I reached out to several places about a vintage heart cake, she said she was available and I sealed the deal w her price point which was very fair. I was also looking for another cake, a 2-tiered mermaid cake but the time was going to be strained. I sent her a picture of an inspo cake, she accepted my order for the second cake and it was amazing! She sent me finished pics but in person even more gorgeous. It was packaged well and it transported smoothly. The taste was also amazing, everything was made from scratch, it was so delicious. I received so many compliments on the visual and taste. The cookies and cream cake was popular at the party, everyone loved the cookies and cream.

This review is LONG overdue! I can't say enough great things about Maria and her craft! Not only is…read moreher pricing affordable, she is so talented & accommodating. We've used her a couple of times now and both have been absolutely amazing! The first time was for cupcakes for my son's first birthday, which was "Fresh Prince" themed, and while what I asked for was simple, neon colors, it was perfect & the cupcakes were yummy! The second time, I ordered a cake for my SIL's birthday (short notice) and Maria accommodated without hesitation! I gave her my inspo pics and she NAILED it! The cake was so delicious!!! We will definitely be using Maria in the future! I highly recommend Maria and I know you will not be disappointed WHEN you have her create something for your next event! :)

They took the time to make sure the package was safely sealed multiple times. I felt the need to share this on the review because a lot of business do not take the time to properly pack the food for deliveries like this shop did. I really appreciated it. Now on to the cookies, they were absolutely amazing! They were soft, fresh and HUGE! The shop was so kind they even included a small sampler of their minis! They were just as delicious and such a sweet surprise. I ordered oatmeal (my favorite), chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, mint chocolate chip,sprinkles, and white chocolate macadamia nut.
