Pleasant for a break from a long trip…read more While exploring the historic downtown, we discovered Laura's Cheesecake--and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be. We walked into this charming café in the afternoon, just before closing. I asked for their most popular cheesecake, and I was lucky enough to meet Laura, the owner. She kindly guided us to the best choices and even suggested the most cost-effective way to sample a variety of flavors. And the cheesecake? Absolutely the best I've ever tasted--rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. When she learned we still had a two-hour drive home, she thoughtfully packed our cheesecake with ice packs and even included extra samples for us to enjoy later. Her kindness and hospitality truly made the experience special. The café itself is beautifully decorated--clean, cozy, and full of classic East Texas charm. This stop turned into a highlight of our trip. I would absolutely drive two hours back just to visit again and try their brunch!

My name is Brooke and I was given the honor of being asked to be the "gender keeper" for a close…read morefriend. It was so important to me that the gender reveal cake be prefect that I went in person to Smallcakes, 5 days before I needed the cake, instead of just calling the order in. I took an inspo picture so there would be no "guess work" and the baker would have a constant imagine to refer to. After guarding this gender reveal, I was ecstatic to pick up the centerpiece of the entire reveal: THE CAKE! A photographer was hired to capture these precious seconds all eyes were going to be on the cake. The family had eagerly been waiting, and most importantly, the parents-to-be had spent weeks anticipating a glimpse of blue or pink. I was devastated when I saw the Smallcakes gender reveal cake; it was a fraction of the size! It was the size of my hand! I felt frustrated not because the representative was unable to offer a suitable solution so close to the reveal but because I was not heard or validated, had to pay $40 for a cake I couldn't use, and had to come up with another cake immediately so the entire gender reveal was not completely ruined! I work in customer service every single day; I work with the public and with brides. I may not always agree, but I ensure complete satisfaction and would gladly compensate a customer if warranted. In this case, I placed the order 5 days in advance, provided an inspo pic, and was assured that I didn't need a double layer because it would be as "big" as in the inspo pic. I still had to pay full price for a cake I couldn't use, had to go to multiple stores until I found a cake I could make work. I then had to scramble home, completely redo a cake, and make it into a presentable gender reveal cake prior to the parents-to-be arrival. This was a very stressful situation, nearly ruined by Smallcakes. A simple courtesy phone call is the only step needed if the baker was confused by the Smallcakes representative set when I was in the store. 1st pic is inspo pic baker had to refer to and assured that single layer would look "just like inspo pic." 2nd pic is actually cake that was quarter of size and size of my hand. The cake was the main event! 3rd pic is $130+ later going to different stores to find the right cake, icing, flowers, scraping of the top, piping and reicing and placing flowers. All could have been avoided if baker would have called. You can see from the plating the first 2 are on they are not the same size.

The restaurant was busy with families enjoying dinner, and the back room was completely booked for what looked like a birthday party. It's the kind of place that immediately feels like a community staple. The menu is full of American classics, and I went with the spicy cheeseburger. Overall, it was really good. My only minor complaint was that the jalapeños were sliced a little thick, so they kept slipping out of the burger. One thing I loved was the old-school condiment bar where you can customize your burger just the way you like it. After dinner, I couldn't pass up the bakery case. The cookies, cakes, and pies all looked fantastic. The employee recommended the Heathen Cookie, so I grabbed one along with a lemon icebox cookie to enjoy later. I always appreciate finding local restaurants that are clearly supported by the community, and this is one of those places. If you find yourself in Longview, The Butcher Shop & Bakery is well worth a visit for both the food and the hometown atmosphere.

We stopped in on Thursday around 5:30 p.m. hoping to grab some salted caramel cookies, but they were sold out. So my husband ordered three Heath cookies and three white chocolate macadamia nut cookies instead. When the employee handed us our order, there was only one white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. My husband politely let her know that he had ordered three. Instead of simply saying, "Oops, let me fix that," she immediately argued that he had only asked for one. When he asked for the other two cookies, she gave us an obvious attitude. I honestly don't understand why. It's not like we were asking for free cookies--we paid for the other two. Maybe she was annoyed that she had to ring them up separately, but regardless, that isn't how customers should be treated. We stayed polite the entire time. We didn't raise our voices or give her any attitude back. It was disappointing to be treated that way over such a simple mistake. Experiences like this leave a bad impression, and my husband said that was the last time he'll shop at this location. The really disappointing part is that they make some damn good cookies. It's a shame that great products are being overshadowed by poor customer service.
