The decor was simple, nothing was a wow factor. Does take away from the it being cute. Customer service: the lady that helped us was nice, but didn't notify us there would be a surcharge. What's it for? Card? Cakes? Takeout? Just notify me. Food: I got two cupcakes $7 per. 1 brownie $6.50. 1 cake pop and one almond croissant. Total $35 and some change. For those prices I would expect my food to not be spoiled. It was the matcha cupcake. The bread and strawberry were soured. The only thing we ate and finished was the brownie. And it tasted weird. Everything else was split between 4 people and even then half of everything was thrown away. $35 and spoiled.

When I politely told one of the servers that we had been waiting, she replied, "You're not waiting for me because I'm not your server," then turned around and walked away.

I hope this was just an isolated incident, as the restaurant itself has always been one of our favorites.

Last week I had the chocolate chip cookie, blueberry cookie and lemon poppyseed muffin. The blueberry cookie is out of this world. I'm sorry if you never tried it because this week was the last week of it being made and I got the last one. So sad, yet so happy. I'm looking forward to the apple pie cookie and the cinnamon muffin. Service is always good and the ambiance is old time downtown bakery feeling. Definitely my go to place when In Redlands.

The vibes are top tier & thanks Nas to you and the rest of the staff for being so great all of the time. This establishment has some truly amazing souls that work there. Every time I've been and it's a lot, the service has been wonderful. I used to be a baker for many years and I'm hardly impressed with places because I either taste the cheap lack of quality ingredients or the lack of fresh ones. This place has neither. I taste all the flavors, quality ingredients and fresh ones too. I look forward to all the new things that'll come out and the summer Friday nights for "Deaux after dark" I've been to a few and have never been disappointed. 100/10 Mint matcha is my current favorite drink that you can get to go. Honestly, it's the best matcha I've ever had! 100/10 Ube seasonal was amazing. Breakfast savory and the pastrami are Epic! Tres leches is also one of my favorites. They offer apocalyptic teamster discount. They host community engagement events and have always been this way since day 1. Check them out on social media if you want to keep up with all they have going on.

I'm a self-proclaimed Pecan Pie Princess and Fritter Fanatic, so when Deux released their Fall menu…read moreI immediately had to stop in. The staff is friendly and there wasn't too bad of a line on a rainy morning. For paying nearly $17 for 2 donuts I'd expect to at least want to finish them, but I was completely disappointed with these. Chocolate Pecan Pie: 2.75/5 The vanilla bean whip topping is some of the best whipped cream I have ever had. The pecan pie filling is a bit too liquidy for my liking and doesn't give you the richness that I'm looking for from a pecan pie filling. The chocolate ganache tastes almost exactly like Pillsbury chocolate frosting, just with a smoother texture. The donut itself was spongy and chewy. I felt like i was chewing the dough for ages. A very chocolate forward donut. Plum Fritter: 1.5/5 I don't know if it's the ingredients, the temperature of the fryer, or what, but whenever I see a fritter out they consistently look burnt. This fritter in particular was completely lackluster. I was expecting crispy, crunchy edges with a soft and spongy center but the entire fritter was soft and mushy, and did not at all have the bite that a fritter should. The texture is more like a concha, if I'm completely honest. There was no sign of plum, aside from the ribbons of the pink throughout the dough. I don't know if they use actually plum chunks the way a typical apple fritter uses apple chunks, or if they use a plum jam ribboned through the dough, but either way I was entirely disappointed by this fritter.

She was informed and informative, and in no time I had the cake I needed personalized and boxed. This is my 2nd visit to Michelle's, and it won't be my last.

My husband bought me the raspberry cake from here a few months ago, and I really liked it. Today I…read morewas craving something sweet, so I decided to stop by and treat myself. The moment I walked in, I was surprised by how quiet and cold the atmosphere felt. It didn't feel welcoming or cozy like a bakery usually does. Instead, it felt more like walking into an office waiting room. Unfortunately, the service made the experience even worse. This was my first time visiting in person, so I had a few questions about the different cake flavors. The girl with braces seemed impatient the entire time and kept trying to rush me while I was speaking. At one point, she even exchanged a smirk with the other employee, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I honestly didn't understand the attitude. In the end, I ordered the same raspberry cake because I completely lost interest in trying anything else. Ironically, this time the cake tasted way too sweet for me. I even tried eating it cold straight from the fridge to tone down the sweetness, but it was still overwhelming. Overall, the combination of the service and the cake not tasting as good as before made this visit disappointing.

Small mom and pop bakery located in a large strip mall in Riverside…read more It's a similar business model to other popular bakeries that you might have seen where you pick out some of the pastries that you want and pay for them at the front register. It seems family owned and operated, and the folks there were very friendly and kind. I came by and picked up a few items for the next couple of days. Very reasonably priced. Transaction was easy and the pastries were good.

Prices are still affordable too - college student friendly prices. Location is unbeatable - right in University Village (and parking is free now, don't need validation), walking distance from UCR, and right next to the University Ave freeway entrance/exit. We both each got a Cheesecake Slice, Matcha for me & Blueberry for him, and we cut them in half to share. Both were really good! Great value - I think they were only $3.75 each slice! Service was good. Ambiance - it's small and tight so there's nowhere to sit. My friend and I went over to Qamaria to find a table to sit down at instead. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if/when I'm in the area again!

Chocolate I have eaten was creamy & delicious. This time I wanted to try a sandwich. Glad I did because it was fresh & delicious. I ordered a Build-A-Sandwich & you will see in my picture how fresh & well stacked it was. Sandwiches come with chips. I also ordered a Village Mango ice tea which topped off the meal. It was refreshing with the splash of pineapple & mango pieces being a treat at the end of the drink. The 2-workers were very friendly & served me within 5-minutes after I filled out my sandwich order. Of course I got some chocolate to go but I gotta try the peanut brittle next time.

My wife loves the chocolates here so I had planned on getting a box. I was greeted by Vincent who was very kind but let me know they were already closed and in process of finalizing the till. It was after 5 and I felt terrible for even being there on Christmas Eve. I headed back to my car and was about to leave and Vincent brought a box of chocolates out in the rain and gave them to me. He would not accept payment. That kind gesture was all it took to make my Christmas. As always the chocolates were incredible but the kindness went a lot further than you could know. Thank you!

I am not very happy. A place that sells cakes this tall should have appropriate boxes. It was…read moresealed with plastic wrap when I picked it up and I trusted it looked good all the way around based on the side I could see. I had to spackle the blue from the lid back to the cake. The handwriting on top seems sloppy and this is not how writing is portrayed on the website. Also, I thought it was going to be fondant-decorated since the cakes on display were fondant and I specifically asked if the fondant would get dewy in the fridge. Finally, I ordered vanilla filling, but since this was my first time ever ordering a custom cake, I didn't know I needed to specify buttercream or bavarian cream, nor was it asked for clarificafion by the person taking my order. So the filling was also not what I expected. The funfetti cake tasted good, and the shells were beautiful and very realistic. 3 stars instead of 2 since my daughter still loved it and the design/color matched my request, but room for improvement and customer satisfaction. However, for the price I paid, this is pretty disappointing.

I hadn't been in a few months, and decided to drop in this morning to eat, have coffee and edit photos on my laptop. During the several hours there, I got to overhear exchanges between customers and staff. The morning shift boys were young, but friendly. Let me tell you, once the day shift crew came on, the energy shifted. Andy, I HIGHLY recommend you replace the tall, thin guy with the glasses. The whole time he was there, he acted as if he didn't want to be there. He was rude, stand offish, and completely disregarded customers. As soon as he BLATANTLY ignored a female customer who was trying to have a conversation with him but gave attention to her male counterpart, I was over it. Listen, I get it, he might have not wanted to entertain someone's story. But customer service means to acknowledge the customer and treat them with respect. I can't even count the amount of times I've divulged in conversation with people I didn't want to, but I still treated them like a human. The woman was visibility upset about how off putting he was. I packed my things, went over to the woman and told her feelings were valid because he had been dismissive towards others ever since he came in. I know you're not going to care about my review, I know you're not going to lose much money if I never come back. But people need to aware what kind of employees are here. As for the food and coffee - The ingredients no longer taste fresh on the breakfast pizza. It tastes cheap and rushed. The iced vanilla latte I had was mid at best, I forced myself to finish it. Which is disappointing because I have loved both for years. I think the young boys need some better training on how to make coffee, but at least they were personable. The young guy with long curly hair - keep up that positive energy. You're gonna go somewhere. Highly recommend bringing Quay back full time, maybe make him a manager or part owner because every time I've been there and he's makes the pizzas, everything is He's a staple, and is clearly loved by all the customers who were happy to see him when he walked in. Also, maybe put the birch back on the empty corner wall, looks like someone ripped it off and it looks bad.
