A small and unassuming strip mall spot with a lovely calming atmosphere. The front was under construction on this day, but they were thankfully open all the same. The girl at the counter was busy helping customers which was a perfect chance to peruse the options. Lots of range here, which I love. Little one bite treats, cookies and pastries, full cakes and slices too! I spotted an un-marked tray of cookies that looked nice, turns out they were soft ginger cookies with jam filling. Raspberry or apricot, and baked in different shapes so you know what's what. Clever... and delicious. The edges were definitely a bit dry but once I hit the jam it was perfect! I also grabbed a triple chocolate mini dome for later. That was quite good as well. Not too sweet, but velvety and flavorful. What's the next holiday I can use as an excuse to get a full cake? I'd definitely come back for a snack too!

We wished we had the stomach to try more from their menu, but honestly, this duo hit the spot and then some. The perfect way to wrap up the night, it was sweet, rich, and totally worth every bite.

We ordered the glazed, chocolate, cinnamon sugar, strawberry shortcake, toasted almond, and caramel. These donuts are fresh upon order and topped with whatever flavors you'd like. We intended to enjoy our findings at home, but once we smelled the donuts and felt their warmth it was over with - we couldn't wait. I'm not sure anything beats doughy fresh donuts. Out of all the flavors, I enjoyed the classic cinnamon sugar but I was surprised by how much I liked the strawberry shortcake. I couldn't help but to think these are the perfect items to bring to the office or event. Not only are they absolutely delicious, but the portion sizes are much more practical in a sharable setting than regular size donuts. Service was super kind and patient and the inside is adorable with plenty of seating. Support this business, they really do deserve it.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was disappointing…read more My family and I stopped by on Saturday shortly before closing. As employees were already putting away the bread, I politely asked if I could grab a piece before everything was picked up. I was told that the bread was being moved to the front and that someone would assist me there. While I waited, two other groups entered after me. They heard the same information and ended up being helped before I was, despite the employees knowing that I had been waiting first. I politely asked twice for assistance and was told to continue waiting while the other groups were served. What made the situation more frustrating was that the customers ahead of me were taking a long time deciding what they wanted. I had already put on a plastic glove and was prepared to select my own bread, but I was told that wasn't necessary because an employee would help me. While waiting, I witnessed one of the teenagers from a group point directly at the bread, and another teenager pushed their hand into it. This happened in front of the employees, and no one addressed the situation or reminded them not to touch the food. As someone who was trying to follow proper sanitation practices, I found this very concerning. Not only did this happened once but 2,3 times infront of them. Yet nothing was addressed. After being ignored, waiting while others were served ahead of me, and seeing unsanitary behavior go unaddressed, I decided to leave without making a purchase. I was disappointed by both the customer service and the lack of attention to food handling standards.

The churros are delicious when they're freshly made - regular cinnamon sugar, filled with chocolate or vanilla. THIS is why I come here! Some of the pastries are hit or miss, maybe depends on when I'm stopping in? The churros however are always good and keeps me coming back.

Coconut cupcake was just a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting dipped in coconut flakes. Meh. The carrot cake was an absolute no. So so dry as well as frosting. No cream cheese frosting or nuts. More like a dry bread with icing. My boyfriend tried the pineapple cake and likes almost everything. Spit it out immediately. The texture and taste were very off putting. I'm not sure how much is actually "baked" there. Not close to bakery quality.
