I ordered the Key Lime Pie online for Administrative Professionals' Day. The picture of the whole pie showed that it came with a meringue or whipped cream on top. When I picked up the pie it came in a box inside of a large bag that was stapled shut. The staff was very friendly. After I returned to the office, I discovered that the pie had no meringue on top. I called the shop to let them know and they said that only single slices of the pie come with whipped cream. I let them know that the website indicates otherwise and there was no option to select any toppings when ordering. They kindly offered a refund which I took and appreciated, though they really should fix the website to prevent further confusion. I gave the shop 4 stars because the service was friendly and the pie was very good. read more

It's a spot that is tasty and feels unique. I was downtown this weekend and planned to grab food at a open market there. Sadly nothing was appetizing there, but I checked my Yelp tags and I had Fireman Derek's marked. I knew it wouldn't be a proper lunch at a bakery but it would taste extra delectable. I walked into the high ceilinged spacious white interior of Fireman's. The guy working the counter was friendly and quick to help me. I shouldn't have come hungry. I got piece of apple pie, peanut butter and chocolate pie, and then, at a moment of weakness, I also got their famed magic bar. It's not a place that's affordable, it's a spot that you pay more because you know it has greatness. much later after lunch and hungry again, I had a bite of the aple pie. My goodness it was good. But when I took a bite of the magic bar I got a happy sugar rush that I hadn't gotten in a while. Scrumptious. I'm glad I stopped in, as any chance to support a smaller local business I think is important. Especially when you can taste the love in what they make. read more

I cannot say enough about this place! The staff, the service, and the desserts are impeccable. I never have any issues, especially when Crystal is helping me! (sorry if i spelled it wrong ur the best) my husband and I trade off which Uber account we are going to use to order fireman Derrick's and every other night they do not cease to amaze us! we have never been inside, unfortunately only delivery, but I'm sure that the place looks 10 times as good as the food! read more

Wow finally got to try this place and the pies are so delicious!! The banana dulce de leche one was my favorite. The cookies and cream one was good but the former was the winner. They're decadent but also smaller than what I thought and turn out to be the perfect portion. read more

Having sampled his wares at a food festival once upon a time, when we found ourselves in the area, it seemed a no brainer to get dessert here. Plenty of parking out back. The shop was well lit, clean, and well stocked even though it was almost closing time. Staff was friendly too! We ordered two pieces of pie to go, and they were well protected for the trip, each in their own plastic container. Derek's pie travels well and once we got home, we dug in. Salted caramel pie on an oatmeal cookie crust was amazing and the famous Cookie Monster pie was good too! At $10 a slice, this ain't cheap pie, but once it hits your taste buds, it's worth it. read more

It was late last night and I wanted to have a nice dessert to end a wonderful day. Fireman Derek's bake shop exceeded my expectations. I ordered the cherry cheesecake and it was absolutely delicious. The cherries were nice and juicy and not overly sweet and the Customer service was right on point. When I come back in the area, I will definitely make a visit. read more

Ordering was easy. I ordered online a week ahead Thanksgiving. Pick up was easy, but the store was so loud? Maybe I'm missing something but the music was so loud lol for no reason. The pie I ordered sounded delicious. The presentation as in the photo perfect but taste... I didn't find it to be worth $43... read more

We were so looking forward to this place! We ordered a slice of Nutella pie, a slice of key lime pie and a piece of chocolate birthday cake. It was empty inside and the hip hop music was loud. Both slices of pie were good- nice crust and good flavor. However, the birthday cake was awful. It was cold and dry- clearly not fresh. So much so that the icing separated from the cake as soon as you put your fork in it. read more

Right when I entered I was greeted promptly. The dining area was spotless but definitely on the smaller side with only a couple tables. Their display cases were loaded with so many delicious looking treats. I really enjoy the Cookie Monster pie. The cookie mixture works great & the pie itself is phenomenal. The chocolate chip cookie was huge & loaded with chocolate chunks. It had a crunchy outside & soft middle. The key lime pie was even greater than I expected (I had high hopes). It was both tart & sweet with a delicious graham cracker crust. The crust was on the thicker side, which I usually don't like, but the flavor & consistency made it enjoyable. Definitely one of the best key lime slices l've had around. The only thing I don't particularly like is the pricing. Unfortunately, I feel like everything is a bit expensive in comparison to other bakeries. It's worth trying out at least once if you're around one of their locations though. read more

At first glance from the outside the store looks closed. No signs or product advertising. But as soon as you enter the cake display says it all. You can even mix and match pie slices. I had the New York cheesecake. Good taste. My wife had the cookies and cream pie which is a must try. And the kids had chocolate and vanilla ice cream. I will definitely be back to try the other pie / cake flavors. read more

Brought a cake to my cousins birthday party, it was quite expensive, and still frozen by the time we ate it. A little disappointing but the following day I ate it a little softer and it was really good. I picked it up and the people who helped me were nice. Clean inside. Would go back to try more desserts. Maybe not another entire cake. read more

The desserts are very good and good service, just casual atmosphere that you can enjoy there or takeout. The white chocolate cheesecake is great. Highly recommend for anyone needing to bring desserts to a party or invite. read more

I got a double chocolate chip cookie and it was delicious. My boyfriend got cheesecake. We've eaten here before but it was worth a try. Kareem and Jeremiah were so helpful and nice while my boyfriend and I chose what we wanted. It's a cute little place, near downtown Fort Lauderdale. It's small and good for grab and go dessert. read more

I ordered a guava coconut cake from Fireman Derek's Bake Shop for a birthday celebration, and I paid over $100 for it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with this particular cake. It had far more icing than actual cake -- it honestly felt like I paid for an icing cake rather than a guava coconut cake. The excessive sweetness made it difficult to enjoy, and it wasn't what I expected at all. I want to note that all the other cakes and items I've purchased from here in the past have been great, which is why this experience was so surprising. This one just missed the mark. I hope the bakery can be more consistent in the future, especially for specialty cakes at this price point. read more

A huge shout out to Mia, for setting up this amazing sweet experience. Absolutely loved, the sweet Treats at Fireman Derek's Bake Shop.

Been here on 2 separate occasions and the consistency in the pastry remains the same. I am hooked on the Red Velvet cake and Cheesecake. The service was quick and fast the times I've been. No long lines/ wait time. Inside was clean, tidy and colorful. The cake slices ranges from $12 up. They also offer ice-creams, cookies and brownies. My favorite is the red velvet cake. It was moist and sweet not spongy at all. read more

Same quality and taste as the other locations, but not the same experience or ambiance. I've been to the locations in Coral Gables and Wynwood. Each has a different vibe suitable for the areas they're located in. All made me feel welcomed and "at home". Fort Lauderdale, while convenient for me, is very "cold" and so is the customer service. I feel like introducing elements of their Wynwood location would be a nice touch, considering the layout of the space. read more

Overpriced for what you get. We tried 2 pies and honestly they were just ok nothing spectacular and very expensive. Perhaps I chose the wrong pies but not sure I want to go back for any others. I was underwhelmed. Positives: Service was fast and friendly and They have plenty options from cakes to pies to shakes. Nice space to eat inside or you can do takeout. read more

As you walk in you can smell the sweetness of this dessert place. We came in to get some slices of dessert pies. Got a few to try and they were all good. The slices were big and shareable.

If you're looking for good baked items, this is the place. Be aware, however that it is not cheap. Nor is it diet food. Everything you eat here will put pounds on you. Delicious, sugar-filled pounds. Derek is a trendy kind of bake shop. My only major complaint was that I couldn't sit there and enjoy my food because the restaurant was entirely too cold. I don't know who was in charge in of the thermostat but they really need to go by the number and not how one person feels. It was freezing. Other than that, everything was quite good. The birthday cake in a jar is really something. Ask them, they'll show it to you. read more

This review is overdue. I visited Fireman Derek's Bake Shop on Tuesday, 9/5/23, in the afternoon. On my visit, I decided to order an Oreo Cheesecake Milkshake. What I liked about this shop was that they blended a slice of the freshly-made Oreo cheesecake into my drink. After tasting the milkshake, it was probably the best milkshake I had in such a long time! It was truly the epitome of deliciousness. I also got a few slices of cakes to go such as Red Velvet, Birthday Cake, and Guava Coconut. The cakes were all on point in terms of flavor and moisture. The total for four of these items was nearly $60 (including the 10% service charge fee that they have). The overall bill seemed pricey to me, but Fireman Derek's baked items and milkshakes are undeniably the bomb! read more

It was a wonderful experience. The cake here is super moist and flavorful. The perfect amount of sweetness.

One of my go to dessert spots. Before this location opened, I used to make the drive to Miami to pickup a slice of pie and go back all the way up to Coconut Creek. Now I can swing by after work or make the shorter drive from Coconut Creek to Fort Lauderdale whenever the craving comes. They are definitely on the pricey side... $22 for the two slices pictured below. Years ago, I could get two from their Miami location for well under $20. If you're deciding to dine in, bring a jacket! It's freezing inside there. read more

This was hugely disappointing. A slice of pie is $9.50, with tax that comes to over $10! With a price tag like that, I was expecting a nice size portion and an even better experience. I wanted to try the very popular salted caramel pie or "crack" pie. The product was not fresh and the portion was severely lacking. It certainly did not justify $10. Huge disappointment. I wish I'd saved my money and skipped this experience altogether. read more

The first thing you'll notice about this bake shop is the location -- directly next to a smoke shop. That is genius on someone's part. We walked in after a lovely dinner, me craving cheesecake. I was surprised at the late hour they still had treats to be enjoyed. The staff was pleasant and eager to explain how the dessert case was displayed. They have cookies, cakes and pies oh my. After much debate over cherry or the simple NY style cheesecake, I decided less is more. I couldn't wait to dig into the silky, velvety smooth cheesecake. I'm not sure who's baking these cakes, but the richness was by far the best I've had since being in NYC eating directly from Junior's. I was hoping they delivered through Goldbelly or some other service only to be disappointed. While I don't like chain restaurants, I will be willing to pay for a franchise in Jacksonville -- it's just that good. read more

My friend was amping this place up so I knew we had to check it out after a dinner. The place was cute with lots of different sweets options. I wanted so many things. We wound up just getting some ice cream but it was so good! The staff, however, wasn't super welcoming? They kind of just stared at us and didn't greet us. And they went back into their office while we were eating and never came back out which was a little weird. Overall I'd probably still go back to try some of their other desserts! read more

This bakeshop is very popular throughout south florida. And the food is also really good. We came in early in the morning so barely anybody was there. The staff was great they answered all my questions and also gave recommendations about the cakes and pies. One big thing though which led me to just giving 4 stars is the pricing. They dont have the prices posted on the menu or by the items. So very sketchy if you ask me. It results to me asking the staff the price which bogles my mind. A slice of pie can easily run you 8-12 bucks. I also asked how much for a whole cake and it costs about 80 for a regular red velvet or carrot. They have good food but not good pricing. read more

This was Billy and my first time here (Debbie was with us and she has been here before and highly recommended it..so we decided to go after we ate at a nearby restaurant and wanted to try dessert somewhere else) and we are very glad that we came here.

I don't know the young ladie's name, but she was very knowable and nice!! read more

Every time my son comes down from Ronaldo in the brightline the first drop is always fireman derek's in Fort Lauderdale. The Coconut Cream is a family favorite. Whole pie please!!! We actually like all the varieties. There isn't really a place to sit so we always get it to go. This time we did the sample pie where we chose 6 slices to make a pie. We got two coconut, two Cookie Monster, one Nutella (which didn't last for the photo shoot lol), and one dulce banana. Greatest pies in the world. Go to the Wynwood location for the OG location. read more

Quick and helpful service. Super casual atmosphere. Clear display case showing the pie options. No phone number for the store was listed in whatever source I went to to find this spot (probably Yelp! but may have been a maps app), so I didn't call ahead, and I was sorely disappointed that, around 4pm on a weekday, they turned out not to have any of their famous key lime pie, a Florida classic. My consolation prize, however, blew me away. I think it was called a salted caramel pie? The slice had a bit of powdered sugar on top *and on bottom* and a sweet and salty filling reminiscent of pecan pie or another pie purveyor's "crack pie." The crust, the filling, the creative double powdered sugar... it turned out to be the slice I didn't know I wanted all along. read more

Yesterday while driving east to our New Year's Eve doin's we passed Fireman Derek's Bake Shop. I immediately squealed with delight and made hubby turn the car around so we could pop in. I've been seeing rave reviews about this place and wanting to go for some time now. Crystal gave me the most cheerful welcome and asked if I've ever been. She then gave me the 4-1-1 on all that was great to order. I left with two slices of cake (Red Velvet and Carrot Cake) and one cookie (White Chocolate Chip with Guava). While pricey, all were well worth it. I think that was the most divine and unique flavor cookie I've ever had. Hubby and I both really loved the Carrot Cake too. I'd gladly go back to try some of Fireman Derek's other delicious options. Definitely check this place out, and you'll be a fan for sure. read more

A friend of mine recommended this place for dessert. I have never heard of it but boy was I happy to have stopped in and try a couple of their desserts. We stopped in Saturday May 4th around 9 pm. The place has plenty of parking, it's very nice and clean, the staff were fine not super friendly just straight to the point lol. I ordered the Oreo Cookie Pie and the Flan Classico. Both of them were delicious! The quality of the desserts were enjoyable and definitely of sharing size. However, if you're a sweets lover then I can one person devouring one slice of pie for themselves. The two desserts ran us about $17. I did see they have full on cakes you can purchase along with slices. Check out their menu as I am sure you will find something you would love. I recommend a visit and hopefully you enjoy it as well. read more

A little history : Fireman Derek is a real person. Derek Kaplan is a 6'2" former firefighter who loves to bake pies. His friend Pat used to encourage him to open a pie shop. After Pat passed away his wife Kim gave Derek the money to start the business. It was a bittersweet start to turning a life time passion into a business. He opened a small shop in Wynwood in 2014 with the actual production done in Little Haiti 2 miles from the store. He then went on to open a second location In Coconut Grove where he started offering his pies mixed into ice cream. He also has a collection of savory pies. At long last he has made it to Broward with his own store front on Federal Hwy in the Downtown Marketplace plaza. I finally got to meet Derek! I was star struck. He was so nice, he even took a picture with me. As a long time fan I had to have a slice of the caramel salted pie, formerly named the crack pie because it is that addicting. Of course all of the usual suspects were on hand, Grasshopper, Nutella, and Brownie Bomb, not to mention cakes, shakes, bars, cookies, and so much more! Alas they were out of the chicken pot pie so I need to come back earlier in the day. Forget all those old boring grocery store pies this Thanksgiving and bring a pie from Derek's. It will make you the favorite child. read more

I stopped in here for the first time this evening. The shop was empty when I arrived, and there were two employees working behind the counter. I tried the birthday cake, chocolate chip cookie, and key lime pie. Ratings are as follows: Birthday cake: 8/10 Chocolate chip cookie: 8/10 Key lime pie: 7/10 All desserts were generally good! Just being honest when noting that I *have* had better. With that being said, the service was friendly, shops was clean, and this was a nice little sweet treat after dinner. It's in a great location & I will definitely stop by again. read more
