Baby's Gourmandise is located inside Grand Rapids Downtown Market, and it has some of the prettiest desserts in the whole joint. There were lots of pastries, but it looks like maybe cream puffs are the stars here. There were a few different flavors of cream puffs, including chocolate and even matcha. I'm not the biggest fan of choux pastries, though, so I didn't pick a cream puff. Instead, I got a pistachio creme brûlée! I love that first tap to break the hard, sugary crust. Underneath is smooth and creamy pistachio custard, just the slightest shade of light green. It was decadent but not too much! If I lived in Grand Rapids, Gaby's would be getting visits from me frequently. But as it is, I'm glad I discovered this little gem in the market.

The flavors combinations are interesting and creative and there are so many options. The blueberry lavender bliss bar was my favorite. I was worried that it would be too sweet but it was so well balanced in flavor, sweetness and textures. I can't wait to try their other flavors. Both the mini quiche and the veggie handpie were delicious too. They were savory, flaky, warm and comforting. You can tell that the people making these care about making good food. The drink menu also had a lot of interesting options. I went with a seasonal drink, the Message to Diane. It was refreshing and light and not overly sweet. It had just a little bit of spice in it with the chai and habanero.

I highly recommend you giving Sweet T's Cakes a try for your next event. This was the first time…read morewe've ever had anything from her and we were so impressed. I called with only a week notice and she was happily able to accommodate. I told her my daughter wanted a chocolate cake, I wanted buttercream frosting and that her party was ice cream themed. I also told her I was thinking about having an ice cream cone on top that looked like it was melting and that we were having an ice cream sundae bar at the party. We were so excited to pick up our cake and see how beautiful and perfect it was. The buttercream frosting was so delicious. Everyone at the party enjoyed it because it's not a sweet sugary buttercream. It has the creamy taste and buttery texture without the really sweet flavor or grainy sugar texture like most buttercream. When it's cold it almost breaks but when it's room temp it's smooth like whipped topping almost. It's far from whipped topping you'll find at Meijer or Walmart (which I don't like!). I can't wait to have our next cake make by Sweet T's. I'd love to try a cake that's chocolate with chocolate frosting and even one that's got Bavarian or something on the inside. Definitely give her your business. You'll be happy you did.

Found this bakery online as I wanted to order cookies for my daughter's kick off for her first year…read moreof her new job as a Summer Camp director at the YMCA. I emailed back and forth and Tenia was very helpful. I told her I wanted a selection of cookies, I think I got 12 dozen that first year? I wanted enough for her entire staff plus all the counselors, too. I asked for some gluten-free, some vegan and a variety of flavors. She made an incredible selection for their training kick off and had them delivered to camp. A year later, I was an "expectant grandma" and had several dozen baby cupcakes delivered to camp as well for my daughter. Beautiful pink "champagne" cupcakes, my daughter loved them and said they were delicious. I am not from the area so have not yet tried them myself (next time I visit!) but everyone at camp who tasted them absolutely loved the cookies and cupcakes. I appreciate Tenia's customer service and making it easy to work with her over email/phone and taking my payment. Wish I had the photos my daughter sent me! I was able to pull this one off my daughter's instagram but really wish I had her photo of the cupcakes, they were beautiful!

I went here for my birthday lunch and had the hands down best sandwich in town, the ham and pesto with burrata sandwich. We also got the miso white chocolate, biscoff, and brown butter chocolate chip cookie and they were all fabulous. My favorite of the three was the biscoff cookie. The key lime pie donut was stellar! The baked goods were great and the demand was high! We waited in line outside but it went quick and some items were sold out, so I will get there earlier next time to try more items. This is a local business that I am thrilled to have the chance to support and I'm so excited to see their growth! 10/10. Will be bringing my friends and family here!

Its very basic inside but thats to be expected for the type of business it is. Got there early-ish, small line ahead of me. We were wanting to try some of their cupcakes and cake. There was more then a dozen left and we were next in line but the customer ahead of me wiped them out, seems like with a pop up, being early in the day they would have some sort of limit to how much each person could get, and we were told they dont restock. We sadly got 2 cookies to try instead, a chocolate chip and miso pretzel cookie, $8 for the both of them. The cookies were forgettable, if you go, I would skip on those - they didnt taste any different from a recipe you could make at home and there was 0 miso flavor in the cookie. I have a feeling the cakes would have been a lot better, probably why they got sold out. I wanted to try the focaccia bread but I thought the price point was too steep for what was being offered. The staff was 5/5 friendly. Ill probably go back and try them again in the future and hopefully get to try some of their cakes.

They do some limited holiday themed desserts, have their everyday offerings like different flavors of croissants, breads, cupcakes, cookies, cake pops and sooo much more including sandwiches also!

Some of my faves include their chocolate cupcakes, carrot cake (which is gluten free!) and their biscoff cronut. I try to get something new to me every time I'm there. They have a nice large parking lot so there is typically no trouble parking and people are coming and going quite quickly. Pricing is very fair for the quality you get.

You can also find their goodies at places like Horrocks and Bridge Street Market.

Daddy's Dough Cookies were featured in the Friends of Grand Rapids Parks' Green Gala picnic basket…read morethis year, and I'm so excited about them! I'm not a huge sweets person, but I like a good soft cookie. No crispy cookies for me - and Daddy's Dough Cookies totally delivered. The cookies we had in the picnic basket were lemon cream pie which consist of two delightfully chewy and soft lemon cookies with lemon buttercream frosting sandwiched inside. The lemon flavor was so bright and summery, and the sweetness level was just right - not too sweet. My boyfriend and I both commented about how good they were, and I immediately looked to see where I could get more. Luckily enough they sell these goodies at Bridge Street Market, Fresh Thyme, and Horrocks here locally. They also sell them online so I bought two of EVERY FLAVOR. Then we happened to find them at one of the last days of the Urban City Cafe and got the birthday cake flavor. Guess what, amazingly good. The cookies are so interesting, they seem like they are an oatmeal type cookie somehow and the texture is just so, so good. I hope they can continue to grow and get into other stores locally. We certainly have been talking them up! If you like a good soft sandwich cookie situation, definitely check out Daddy's Dough. They also have non-sandwich cookie options, cookie making kits, and vegan options online.
