    Pregnancy announcement cake
    Emily H.

    Amazing quality and customer service. The cake was so beautiful and exactly what I asked for. And it tasted amazing!

    My son's birthday was on Halloween!

    I recommend this bakery to everyone. They are skilled at what they do. It's refreshing to have a local bakery that enjoys the extra details to make the kiddos' day extra special. This was my son's cake for his birthday on Halloween.

    The food was amazing atmosphere like your Abuelas house on a Sunday. Very quick service along with…read morekind people overall. This is truly one of NCs hidden gems that might not be here forever. So if you looking for great people and even better food I highly recommend this place.

    Driving through Jacksonville we found ourselves needing a person refuel before continuing home. We…read morecame across Lilianas and decided to give it a try. We were greeted quickly upon arriving into Liliana's Colombian Restaurant and Bakery by an older gentleman, you could tell he has pride in this restaurant the way he spoke and helped with everything. The food, we order tostones for an appetizer. They were crispy, light, and simple. Could've used a bit of salt personally but the garlic sauce they came with really made up for it. So good! The steak had a ton of flavor, and the yellow rice was solid, though my family actually liked the white rice better overall. We ordered a mix of plates with yellow rice and fries, others with white rice and tostones. I went with the arroz con pollo (classic choice), and my youngest had the chicken nuggets and fries. Only downside: my meal came out about 10 minutes after everyone else's, which was a little frustrating but not warrant for complaints. Our waiter was really sweet, a tad slow checking in sometimes, but he was super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. He even got honey on the side for my kiddos nuggets. Odd request but it's a thing. A big surprise but we got a free choice of a pastry at the end, which was really nice. My kids picked flan and said it was light, firm, but still creamy. Not too mushy. In the end the vibe is very family friendly. They play Latin music in the background, but it's quiet and chill, easy to drown out and still enjoy. I would love to see this place flourish, I know they deserve it, there's a lot of love put into this place. If we're ever in town again, we'll be back.
