My favorite coffee shop in town so far!…read more I love stopping by at Queen City for the fresh baked pastries and a warm drink. The cafe is nice, it offers a lot of space and WiFi if you want to study/work. Staff is friendly and quick. I've had their quiche and other pastries. I've never left disappointed! I will keep returning :)

I will actually set my alarm clock early just to make sure I get to spend time here before my meetings. My only suggestion, please have larger coffee cups. I know you offer free refills, but the cups are a bit small for me and i need frequent refills. :)

I still think about this place. Some of the best pastries I have ever had. The coffee was really…read moregood as well. Staff was incredibly friendly. Almost hard to eat most of their desserts because they are so beautiful. They tasted even better than they looked. Loved trenching here in a foot of snow. To sit and watch it downtown while drinking coffee. Such a vibe.

I think the staff knows it too because when asked about the croissant the person serving behind the counter made a face life they smelled something dead. Sliced bread was slightly off but that's is consistent for this region, also under baked for my taste. It's a nice neighborhood.

Absolutely delicious! The sourdough bread was on point and the pastries we super…read moreGo support a local bakery that is turning out high quality deliciousness!

Had breakfast with my grandchildren today. It was crowded because it's a Sunday but the food made…read moreit worth the wait. The kiddos enjoyed the pancakes but the ham and cheese omelette was a clear winner. The kids size scrambled egg (1egg) was enough for 3 people and it was hard with no taste. But, Confetti Cookie Sandwich along with the Iced Cinnamon Bun were a huge hit. I had a GF fruit muffin which was delicious.

I asked for a simple cake for my wedding that she had on her fb. She couldn't execute it. First…read morephoto is from her fb, second is what I got. I asked for a 3 tier cheesecake with strawberry jam and strawberries (very simple). Paid way too much money for something an amateur could do. Also the cheesecake was frozen when we were trying to cut it. Was not happy at all. I would give 0 stars but heard if you give less than 2 stars, it's easier to get the review removed. My wedding cake looked like it was bleeding. I don't recommend at all!

We drove from Sioux City, Iowa to have a nice day for my wife's birthday. We go into Eileen's as…read moreusual for a SF trip. We walk in and I happily say to the older lady working that it is my wife's birthday and we are here to get cookies. She rudely replied with "we don't give free stuff out. You can go on down to Bundt cake I think they give away free stuff." We all looked at each other, confused. She was rather short with us the rest of the time while choosing cookies. She kept coming up with excuses for why my daughter couldn't get frosting on her cookie. It just wasn't a normal happy experience like we normally have. I sure do hope it's not because we are a lesbian couple. That would really be unprofessional of her.

I just happened up on this store after I flew in. This is a great bakery with really fun options of…read morecookies. I like their classic frosting flavor which has a hint of almond in their buttercream. There's some really fun creative designs that are seasonal and thematic. The cookies are done to perfection and are literally pieces of art! I only wish there were a few of these establishments in NC!!! These cookies are epic

My first time here. The place was clean. The staff was nice and friendly. My wife tells me there is…read morea new bakery that opened and she wanted me to go get a pecan pie to try out for Thanksgiving. I went and purchased their $22 pecan pie and it was not good. It does not look, feel or taste like any pecan pie I have ever had. The topping looks like and feels like a "Cliff bar" (those granola type of energy bars). I would definitely pass on this pie. I hope because this place is new is why this pie was like a Cliff bar. Unless this is their twist on making a pecan pie, if so, go to Costco.

Thank you to Baking Up a Storm for assisting me with my Thanksgiving cooking! I ordered two pans of…read morepecan shortbread and caramel apple cheesecake bars that were totally epic! The pecan shortbread was my favorite because the flavor was so buttery and perfectly baked. Most of our guests liked the apple cheesecake bars best because eating smaller bars over time made them feel less guilty than eating a big piece of pie or cheesecake. I put some of each kind in the freezer, thinking I was getting ahead on Christmas baking. Chef Alex, those bars are so tantalizing we keep eating them!! There are only a few left. What a wonderful business you have here!!!

The cake was everything we wanted, it was adorable AND scrumptious! Being a baker myself, I could tell that high quality ingredients were used. The cake was chocolate with a chocolate ganache filling; it was simply to die for! The cake was very moist, the chocolate was very rich and chocolatey and both the fondant and frosting underneath were mild and sweet, not overly sweet, waxy or greasy. Would absolutely order again, I know my son will, we live out of town (Chicago) so it will be next year before gramma can order another cake! In the posted picture the are a couple of smudges on the frosting, I was clumsy and smudged it, the cake arrived picture perfect!
