I really wanted to like Short Street Cakes, especially because I was considering them for my…read morewedding cake. My experience was confusing and disappointing. I called one week and they explained the process to me and were very kind and chipper and gave me a direct number to call and place an order. When I called the number a week later, the number was a personal line. So I called the store number and they told me that it wasn't possible that I was given a different number and sounded quite annoyed with me. They don't allow tastings for weddings unless you have 75 guests or more... so I ended up having to buy 2 whole cakes to try 2 flavors and it felt like a total waste of money and was highly disappointed. The frosting was far too sweet and gritty on both flavors - after 1-2 bites I felt sick... and I LOVE frosting and sweets. Additionally, after 1-2 days the raspberry filling in one of the cakes had gone sour and started to mold. Really bad experience and was really let down by the customer service and the product itself. :(

Two things about me when it comes to weddings. I do not drink bad wine or eat bad cake. Not even…read moreaverage cake, I will not waste the calories or enjoyment, eating processed baked goods. I had no idea where this cake was from, the minute I ate a piece, first of all, I was like this is a two pieces of cake wedding and what bakery is this from? If you are into homemade cakes with real icing, order one now, you will not be disappointed.

I get late night cravings and sometimes I order from here. The dessert is descent, BUT 70% of the…read moreflavor is vegetable oil. And 30% is chocolate or whatever the flavor profile is. There is WAY WAY too much vegetable oil used in the recipe to sustain the moisture cake level. It is not balanced, more so greasy dessert. I don't like being negative but this review is input so the business can grow and thrive. Yes I would recommend this place, IF they were to adjust their cake recipe with less vegetable oil used to sacrifice flavor over shelf life moisture.

Reasonably priced but it would be cool if they ran a buy 3 get 1 deal (or something like that) after 1pm so they don't waste so many donuts.

It should say this on their info/ site/ menu. That would've saved us a while trip.

I noticed he was wearing an N-95 mask which seemed a bit odd, but whatever. All of a sudden I heard the nastiest, wettest cough. He did not cover his mouth. He immediately lifted up the plate of food he had been leaning over when he coughed, and placed it in the window. The barista (tall, brown hair, femme, cool glasses) picked it up and carried it over to me. I said "hey I'm not trying to be rude, but I heard the cook cough when he was plating my food and he sounds pretty sick. Could you ask him if he is sick?" They looked pretty annoyed with me and returned a moment later saying the cook would not answer the question. I asked for a refund bc I didn't feel comfortable eating the food. They should have apologized, but instead they treated me like I was an annoyance. What a silly way to lose a customer--I am a local and would have been back had they not treated me that way.

Ordered chicken tenders with fries, classic burger with side hotdog, and sloppy Joe crunch wrap with pork rinds. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted great.
