I have decided to cut the cake and share it with the people in the room. Everyone has tasted your cake and has given enthusiastic compliments about its texture, flavor, and the exquisite roses and color decoration. It is truly exceptional. This cake embodies the essence of European cuisine. Many people travel to Europe and are captivated by the taste of the cake, recognizing that a truly exceptional cake can only be prepared with such skill. I am immensely proud of your work and the exceptional talent of the chef who has brought this masterpiece to life. In the coming weeks, I anticipate an influx of American customers who will be eager to experience your bakery's delectable cakes. I am delighted with the cake and deeply proud of the chef's dedication and expertise.

Le Duc Gourmet Bakery was the first bakery I walked into, and I'm so glad I did. The owner was incredibly sweet and took our order without hesitation. Not only did they get it done in time, but the cake turned out perfect. The design was exactly what I pictured clean, colorful, and super fun. We went with red velvet and cream cheese filling, and the outer layer was buttercream, which was a big plus. It tasted just as good as it looked. When we finally cut into it, I actually felt bad because it was so pretty!! Everyone was amazed by how good and cool it was. Definitely coming back here for future events.

Out of all of the cake places that we went to for tastings, Cakes by Gina stood out because of…read moretheir exceptional service and hospitality. Their cake designs are out of this world. They could design anything! CBG offers many flavors, but our favorites were the red velvet and bridal white cake. My husband and I love Tetris, and wanted to add that to the cake. CBG did a beautiful job executing that. We received so many compliments on our wedding cake! The reason why I knocked a star off is because the cakes are too sweet for me. If there was 30-40% less sugar, it would've been great. Asians like their desserts "not too sweet" lol. I've had too many dry wedding cakes in my life and the cakes here are consistently moist, which is a huge plus. The other reason why I gave this place 4 stars is because I had to send an inspo pic of how I wanted the flowers to be arranged multiple times to different people at Cakes by Gina. The day of my wedding, my coordinator asked me how I wanted the flowers to be arranged. I ended up explaining it to her and it worked out, but I'm surprised that a picture wasn't printed, or notes were not written down. I'm not gonna lie, they're pricey. The fact that the cake was beautiful and moist made it worth it.

Her work is truly exceptional. Anyone who knows cakes -- especially wedding cakes -- understands that Cakes by Gina does extraordinary work. She has been established in the industry for a very long time, and her reputation speaks for itself. Her cakes are not only visually stunning, but they are also incredibly delicious. As someone who has been making cakes in this city for 25 years without a single complaint, I can confidently say her craftsmanship stands out. The level of detail in her designs is remarkable. In my opinion, no one compares. Highly recommended.

This family run bakery specializes in South America pastries and custom cakes. Their macarons are either made like a classic French style flavored pastry or decorated like a very cute unicorn or flower. so many flavors to choose from like Dulce de Leche, Mango, Strawberry, Nutella, Passion Fruit, Chocolate, Cafe con Leche, Raspberry, and Pistachio. Got a slice of their rainbow cheesecake for a friend's birthday. We shared it at a fun Happy Hour. The Alfajors are such a traditional South America cookie. A shortbread sandwich cookie filled with gooey, homemade dulce de leche. So delicious. Their meringues are also filled with dulce de leche. Might have to go back to try their key lime tres leches or their tiramisu. A great local bakery. Note: They are also on TGTG. You might get lucky and score a fun treat bag.

Overwhelmed with so many options, I decided to go with the Nutella tres leches and I have seriously never had a better tres leches EVER!

A gem is what I can say about this spot. Ma and Pa owned Turkish bakery & they make their stuff…read morefrom scratch & with LOVE. The owner was so nice & personable. The place is small & has a homey feel to it. Here are some items I've ordered. * Simit & egg- kind of looks like a bagel but doesn't taste like one. Nice crunch from the outside & soft on the inside. The sesame seeds had a good nuttiness to it. You also can't go wrong with an egg in the middle; it was cooked to perfection. 4.5/5 * Fruit Tart- light & not too sweet. Good tasting crust as well. 4.5/5 * Baklava- it was flaky & freshly made. The pistachio's was very good. However, it was so sweet. I recommend to just eat 2-3 of these. 4.2/5 * Nutella achma- it was my favorite. Glistening on the outside & fluffy & airy on the inside. The Nutella was rich & had the perfect amount of sweetness. 4.8/5 Overall, Simit & Poacha exceeded my expectations & I can't wait to come back & try some more pastries. Their 5 star reviews are not a fluke & I'm thinking of coming back next weekend lol. Tip: Their cakes are easy on the eyes. So if it's a special event like your birthday, you should come here & have them make it.

The kumru meat sandwich was tasty and kind of like a modified hot dog. The bread was soft yet sturdy. The meats (cooked), tomatoes, and pickles were julienned. The meats' flavors reminded me of a hotdog/ Hickory Farm's sausage that has been panfried. The sandwich was covered in ketchup and mayo. I preferred the simit and egg out of all the items because I liked how it had a savory and cheesy flavor.

4.5 out of 5 stars-- definitely pricey but pretty unique! While there are crepe cakes available…read moreeverywhere, Lady M is the OG and their crepe cakes consistently deliver a silky, fluff delicate delight for special occasions. Each cake is made of layers of individual crepes spread with a thin layer of cream so it takes more effort to make one of these than the usual cake. ** Dubai chocolate (4/5)-- seasonal and soon to be replace with Dubai chocolate strawberry! Although pistachio cream and chocolate are usually pretty dense, the cream here still remained fluffy and light while feeling decadent. The pistachio didn't taste artificial either. ** Green tea crepe cake (5/5)-- always a classic and perfect for fans of strong tea flavor. Fluffy, airy, melt in your mouth goodness. Be wary of inhaling while you eat because of the matcha powder! Besides the crepe cakes, they also have "normal" sponge cake, mont Blancs, chocolate covered treats, and coffee/teas. The grand interior and set up of this location makes it feel luxurious but could definitely be intimidating or less appealing to solo visitors or those who just want to pop in and out. There are waiters greeting you at the front and a line of staff at the pastry case at the back. No price tags in the display case so sticker shock may be a possibility (there is a menu to browse for dine in you could ask for though). The inside looks like somewhere for high tea, and the service fits the part. The restrooms were clean too. It was really quiet on a weekend morning with just us. One thing I didn't like was it was FREEZING inside. Even with a hoodie, I was still quite cold so it was harder to enjoy the cakes to the fullest. Lady M will still be a special occasion place for me instead of a usual stop, but I'm happy to have the option to visit whenever instead of flying to New York, etc. If you've never had a "good" crepe cake, definitely try their original or green tea matcha versions!

You can dine in or take your desserts to go. The must-try here is the Signature Mille Crêpes cake. It's light, airy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. It paired well with the iced strawberry matcha. We also took home the Earl Grey and Tiramisu slices, which were just as good later with a hot cup of tea or espresso. The slices (and full cakes) are on the pricier side, but the delicate layers and unique flavors make it worth it. The staff at this location were friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better.

It's been a decade since Suzie's came into the fold, bringing a delightful variety of Middle…read moreEastern and European pastries to an area that so desperately needed it. It's a family owned business and one that has been incredibly popular since they opened. I first learned about them as a result of Too Good To Go (#1) and have been a dedicated customer ever since. What their pastry shoppe lacks in space and chairs, they make up for by their extensive selection. There is sometimes a line that wraps around the interior, which can get awkward quicky. They specialize in a number of pastries such as baklava, pistachio desserts, Dubai chocolate, fruit-shaped desserts, celebration cakes, along with gelato and ice cream. Some of the other items include cake slices, macarons, cookies, cannoli, and more. While most of the stuff skews Lebanese, they have other regional items such as the Iraqi znood and Dubai chocolate covered treats. I'm quite fond of their fudge, znoods, and baklava variety. It's easy to get overwhelmed in there by just simply making a choice. The prices are affordable, but can add up quick. Customer service is good overall, it's important that they deal with crowds nightly so be prepared to choose something or ask for recommendations. __________ (#1) Only one of the best discounted services out there. Trust.

I was told these owners bought that place and are remodeling, I won't mention the name , but I spoke to a man last weekend who told me it was indeed true, but they were still remodeling. He said give it another month or so. I said OK, we will try you all out. OMG!! The date Maamoul was out of this world!! The other desserts were very good! I don't EVEN CARE if that other place reopens because the Maamoul ALONE was worth switching loyalty! I will include pictures of everything my husband bought that day. The only caveat is my husband said it was a beautiful cafe( you're going to pay for that) and everything came up to about $27 he said, a little pricey, but that Maamoul literally brought tears to my eyes!
