The owner is really responsive, very creative, and has made themed cakes for us from anything for 10 people to 50, each of them turning out beautifully, and tasting amazing. We have not had a single birthday party where several people have asked where the cake/cupcakes came from..... and we order bigger cakes now so everyone can take a little home. They are THAT good. They keep ready-made cakes for last minute needs as well, in all sizes. And some lovely cupcakes in different flavors - strawberry, honeydew, vanilla, lemon, red velvet - you name it. The texture is different, so if you are looking for traditional airy box-style cake mix flavor, then go elsewhere. These cakes are a little heavier in texture, but less sweet, and definitely worth the price! Eunice is a wonderful baker. And a piano teacher! Friendly, kind, very knowledgeable and open to all kinds of ideas for themes. You won't be disappointed. We LOVE Pink Belle.

Ask questions and the owner happily answers. She also owns another bakery in another community. She shared that she is closed on Saturdays & Sundays but Sundays are her prep day for the upcoming week. If you're ordering a specialty cake, cupcakes and such, you'll need to place your order a few days ahead. The store carries single serve cookies, cupcakes, and small treats. I had a fluffy red velvet cupcake with a whipped cream cheese icing. There isn't much seating inside but that's a great opportunity to order a treat, grab a fork and visit neighboring stores in town.

Only three words can describe this place "Oh my goodness". Those are the first words that came out…read moreof my mouth as I took a bite of their Strawberry Crunch Cake. Oh my goodness, this place is phenomenal it is located in an industrial looking area which kind of worried me a bit considering I was looking for a bakery but I was pleasantly surprised walking in being greeted my Mrs. Joan and a beautiful case of sweets. She shared with me that she truly listens to her customers and is willing to custom make anything. Everything in the case is customizable you want a slice of cheesecake but want to add some strawberry crumble? She can do it for you, how about a strawberry crunch cake with chocolate sauce and chocolate crumble? You got it. I ended up grabbing a slice of strawberry crunch cake and strawberry cream pie (customized with some strawberry crumble on top). Both items were absolutely delicious but that cake was out of this world. It was moist with a perfect frosting ratio. Some cakes often have a large amount of frosting due to aesthetics and can be hard to enjoy due to being overpoweringly sweet. This cake was so good with its ratio I had the perfect bite each time. River City Chocolate is the true embodiment of a hidden gem, tucked away between some industrial looking buildings lies an amazing bakery with so much heart. You can really taste the care that goes into these goods. Can't wait to try some of their other cakes and finally get my hands on one of their smores bars (they were out when I went but I was informed to check their website and that you can pre-order for pick up and she will make sure to put those aside so you know will get them).

The interior looks and feels like a true working bakery. Delightful aromas, flour dusted surfaces and aprons, and piles upon piles of top level baked goods. Staff is legitimately excited to be producing such good products. I've always been seduced by the cupcakes. Most recent purchase was a last minute pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving per my host's request (I find it difficult to get terribly excited about pumpkin pie), and it was easily the best pumpkin pie I've had. Very reasonably priced for the quality, no question. Pop in, grab a dang cupcake to start, and you know, see what happens...

I ordered a variety box of: +a Vigilante - with cream, guava, and coconut +a beef empanada +a chicken empanada +a ham, cheese, and pineapple pastry +a Square with sliced green apples I did order a Guava croissant, but didn't receive it in the box; not sure if they charged me for it, since I didn't ask for one (user error!). I also noticed that we didn't receive any sauces (ie, chimichurri) for the empanadas. Not sure if I caught them off-guard or something! The pastries themselves tasted fresh and not too sweet, and I feel like the best time to go is when they're open first thing in the morning; I also feel that their items do sell out quickly. Staff were super friendly, welcoming, and kind. There were plenty of seating inside, and ample parking in this strip plaza lot. +missing items T___T +friendly service! +plenty of parking

We were here from out of town for a soccer tournament and stopped in on a whim as I wanted something sweet. The owner was so lovely and said they'd been in biz for 10 years and I can see why. We bought 2 sugar cookies and my 11 yo (an expert in sugar cookies) said it was a 6 out of 5 - best sugar cookie ever! The other one we bought bc it looked like my husband who was not with us. We also got a pb cookie and brownie and though I bought those for the rest of our family who are not traveling with us they may not make it home. Now I'm hoping they are open again tomorrow. Amazing!!! Definitely worth the stop. Plus you get to support a local and woman owned business!!
