When I contacted Crystal about making an anniversary cake for my parents, I asked about customizing…read morethe flavor. Her immediate response was "no problem!" She wasn't kidding! She created a strawberry bourbon masterpiece that was both gorgeous AND delicious! My parents were absolutely delighted with this scrumptious sensation. Her price was incredibly reasonable, and Crystal was so easy to work with. You should order from her before she's too busy to take your order. We are already planning our next event just to order from her again! Thank you so much Crystal!

I'm from out of town and was looking for a DeKalb bakery for a special dessert for an extended…read morefamily celebration. I'm SO glad that I found Crystal's Bakery!!! It was VERY short notice, but Crystal responded to my inquiries quickly, was able to make suggestions that worked for a quick turn around AND some specific requests! We settled on summer-y strawberry topped cupcakes that were PERFECT - the topping was light and refreshing (not overbearingly sweet like so many commercial desserts these days). A delicious ending for our celebratory dinner!!

The service is super quick and friendly, which makes it perfect for a spontaneous ice cream stop. We tried the Twister -- Twix, caramel, and vanilla ice cream mixed with brownies and nuts -- and it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, crunchy, sweet, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste how fresh everything is. Whether you're craving something classic or want to load up on toppings, Ollie's is the place to go. Great local gem and a must-try if you're in DeKalb!

Overall, this place is great. Sylvia F.

This is the second location that I have visited and what a difference this store was. It's small but it was clean. We were greeted right away. Our cookies were boxed up right away. Since the girls were splitting the 6 cookies we got, I asked for a second box. There was minimal charge for an additional box. My daughter was happy with her cookies and that makes me happy. The real reason for this review was the girl working tonight. She was so friendly, had a genuine smile and even assisted the girls in boxing up the cookies. I wish I would have paid attention to her name. These days it's rare to get good customer service and this young lady did excellent.

I honestly confused why they've been open for so long. I had passed it many times and decided to…read morestop in. There was a very very limited choice. I decided to buy a couple of their tartlets, seeing as I didn't want to walk out and purchase nothing. She threw in a free cupcake. The tartlets - the tart shell was totally undercooked, the feeling was nothing special. In fact the custard tart I got had no taste. The cupcake - the cake was extremely dry, the frosting although it had a nice flavor, left a waxy feeling in my mouth. I love to support small businesses, but I was totally turned off by my experience. I know quite a bit about pastries and baked goods, I honestly would never go back and discourage anyone from purchasing their products unless they did a complete overhaul. A tart shells should be light and Flaky, plus thoroughly cooked, what I got was tough, chewy and tasteless.

Everything turned out so beautiful and even better than what I was hoping. Our guests at both of these events talked about how moist the cake was and how delicious the frosting was! Rachel really knows her stuff :) We chose white cake filled with raspberry and also chose chocolate cake both with buttercream frosting for our bridal shower and then for the wedding we had a tier of vanilla, chocolate and red velvet with the buttercream frosting.
