You can't go wrong with any of their multiple options because they are all delicious! The employees are welcoming and quite kind. They took our order quickly and we received our order just as quickly. Something fun they do is letting their guests sign their walls. We got to partake and it sure made the place feel like a community! Plenty of indoor seating and parking as well.

When I retired last year we decided to have a custom cake made for the occasion. American Dream…read moreCakes nailed it! Service was great. We walked in and asked a few questions, then ordered what we wanted. They were also able to deliver due to the close proximity from the bakery. Delivery was a little early, but that was a good thing. The cake turned out amazing! We were very pleased with the overall service and quality of the cake. The cake was moist, tasty, and definitely enough for everyone. The bakery itself does have daily baked goods. The bakery itself is very clean and neat. The employees were nice. If you need a custom cake, I recommend American Dream Cakes nailed for sure.

Cons The giant apple fritters had almost no apple filling and because they are so large needed the filling and cinnamon mixture spread more deeply. Otherwise it's more of a glazed cinnamon round bread. The everything bagels were great as far as the bagel bread part goes but lacked in garlic and onion while being so heavily salted I had to wash them off in water before I could eat them. There was more salt than many pretzels have on them. Pros The rolls and bread were perfect and delicious. The sesame bagel's were among the best I've ever had. Fix the fritters and back off the salt on the everything bagels and I would have rated five stars.

We placed the order for a quarter sheet cake in red velvet with cream cheese icing and an appropriate but very specific character group which the bakery achieved beautifully with an edible, printed image.

Driving through Jacksonville we found ourselves needing a person refuel before continuing home. We…read morecame across Lilianas and decided to give it a try. We were greeted quickly upon arriving into Liliana's Colombian Restaurant and Bakery by an older gentleman, you could tell he has pride in this restaurant the way he spoke and helped with everything. The food, we order tostones for an appetizer. They were crispy, light, and simple. Could've used a bit of salt personally but the garlic sauce they came with really made up for it. So good! The steak had a ton of flavor, and the yellow rice was solid, though my family actually liked the white rice better overall. We ordered a mix of plates with yellow rice and fries, others with white rice and tostones. I went with the arroz con pollo (classic choice), and my youngest had the chicken nuggets and fries. Only downside: my meal came out about 10 minutes after everyone else's, which was a little frustrating but not warrant for complaints. Our waiter was really sweet, a tad slow checking in sometimes, but he was super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. He even got honey on the side for my kiddos nuggets. Odd request but it's a thing. A big surprise but we got a free choice of a pastry at the end, which was really nice. My kids picked flan and said it was light, firm, but still creamy. Not too mushy. In the end the vibe is very family friendly. They play Latin music in the background, but it's quiet and chill, easy to drown out and still enjoy. I would love to see this place flourish, I know they deserve it, there's a lot of love put into this place. If we're ever in town again, we'll be back.

Have to admit the meat department folks seemed very confused about sale items the week before Thanksgiving, though. And being out of Butterball turkeys was definitely bizarre.

The prices are reasonable, the seating area is quiet and clean, and the staff is super helpful and respectful. I will try to work my way through their whole menu but it's huge so might take a while. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for cookies, macaroons, cake, donuts to ramen, sandwiches and more!

I usually find their other products everywhere, and it's usually the coziest spots too. Altho they don't have a physical location it is very easy to find there products as they are sold usually at different farmers markets and health stores, like the cedar point market.
