They offer drive thru service of you can go inside and order. You don't order at the intercom system, you go to the window to place your order. I was able to place an order, get my doughnut and leave. They prefer cash, but if you have a card, you can use that, with a convience fee. I ordered an old fashion, but the young lady at the window stated they don't have those, they only had buttermilk doughnuts. It tasted like an old fashion to me, so i was happy. The doughnut was soft, not overly sweet, and wasn't thick like some places. I definitely enjoyed my doughnut.

I was in Florissant for work on a Thursday and had planned on making a stop at another bakery for a…read moretreat to take to a Birthday. I ended up stopping at Helfer's when I saw it and choosing 3 very large cupcakes. They put them in a nice box. Two were white cake with beautiful white icing and one was Strawberry Shortcake with pink cake and crunchies on top like the Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar. All three looked beautiful and there is someone here who is very talented at piping the buttercream. The top of the strawberry shortcake cupcake was delicious but I didn't care for the pink cake. I found it dry and artificial. The white cupcakes looked much better than they tasted. Again, the cake was dry. These were certainly cake mixes and I just had slightly higher expectations considering it's a place that has been around for several generations.

I've been here 3 times in the last 2 months for lunch and breakfast. Each time there is a young…read moreperson that is a bit rude when I'm ordering. Today, for breakfast, I asked for a combo and ordered the drink with it. The worker said "I'll get there." About the drink. Then asked what kind of bread I wanted. The picture of the combo showed a croissant so I wasn't aware I was supposed to say a bread. (Bagel, croissant, toast, etc) And I laughed because it was kind of rude. The first window was a different person and gave me my donuts and drink politely, no problem. Then the second window I waited about 10 minutes, which is long for fast food, no problem because I want a newly cooked egg and hot. The girl came to the window and asked if I ordered "blah blah blah." Said no. She asked what I DID order. I ended up getting what I ordered. The 2nd window girl was nice. So they seem somewhat unorganized. The young people are apathetic to customers. The person taking orders shouldn't keep asking "is that all?" They should be asking "what else can I get you?" That raises sales. And that makes a customer feel like they're being paid attn to. I'm coming from the pov of someone who's worked retail and food. If the first point of contact is rude, you're going to lose business. Most people won't say anything, just not come back. This is a small business, they need to to be hitting 100 on all areas. Or you'll lose business and you won't know why. People play a major part in a business succeeding.im now going to mention my croissant was very burnt. The donuts were fast and very good!!!! But its unfortunate when the negative outshines the positive Update a couple of months later: I believe the owner woman took my order. I got attitude major when I asked for confirmation that my burger would be made on a croissant. It'll be awhile before I come again. And it took forever when I was the only one in line.

Made by Lia was such a cute and cozy coffee shop. The whole place had a really warm vibe that i…read moreloved. I also love that i was able to actually sit back and enjoy the experience of my coffee being made. I tried the Java hazelnut coffee and it was so good. I also thought the cups were really cute with the name printed on them i thought that was a nice little detail. I'd also like to add it's not just coffee they had teas, milk lemonade, apple juice a little something for everyone. Also I love me some plants I loved how they had real plants In the shop also tiny plants on each table was sooo cute. They had a bunch of different pastries you could choose from along with merch that you could shop while waiting for your order I tried the espresso doughnut and it was good, but it was more cakey but they let me know that before I ordered. My daughter got the gooey butter cake and enjoyed it. Another part that i liked was being able to see the pastries getting made off to the side. I even connected with someone else who enjoys visiting different coffee shops, which made the experience a lot better. Overall i would 100% visit made by Made by Lia again I also was able to grab my son a gift card from them for his birthday next week I think he will love it.

It felt cheery inside; we weren't ready and let others go in front of us so we could decide on goodies. Staff was friendly and helpful when we had decided. We got a huge blueberry lemon scone, a gooey butter cake slice, and a large chocolate chip cookie. I also got a brown sugar latte made with coconut milk, a first-time milk choice for me. I will probably go with Almond milk next time. The scone was delicious! My husband enjoyed his cookie and gooey butter cake. It will always be a stop when we are in the area.
