    a variety of pastries

    We tried the Plant Cakes Bake Shop and while the assortment was impressive we didn't really like the taste or consistency of the items we bought. If you have food allergies or are needing plant-based foods for health or other reasons, this store is a great option or alternative. As we don't have dietary restrictions, we visited to support a local bakery. The employees were friendly and the service was relatively fast. The atmosphere was welcoming, well-lit and clean. Items cost a bit more, but the ingredients may be more expensive, so that's reasonable. Street parking available.

    I love the quaint streets at Wake Forest so when I found out there was a vegan bakery I was happy to take my friend and head over there. It wasn't busy and we were waited on promptly. I did not purchase gluten free products, just the vegan product. Cupcakes were delicious the only item I wasn't crazy about was the cookies and cream donut. It seemed dry to me. Great way to treat yourself if vegan and in the area. They have a nice selection of flavors.

    I got the double chocolate and apple cider donut. I came in craving a donut but it tasted more like a cake. The apple cider donut was straight up inedible. If you know what fabuloso cleaner smells like, the donut actually tasted like it. Would not recommend.

    I've had many vegan and gluten free donuts and bakery items along the way...this is absolutely the best!! So good we went back the next day for another. This is a cake style donut that isn't overly sweet. It's just the right amount of donut and sweetness. I had no idea they also made cinnamon rolls! We came on Sunday as well and this Goliath was eyeballing me from behind the glass. So amazing!

    Vegan bakery and ice cream shop. Stopped in this cute bakery and really enjoyed the baked goods and the ice cream. They have gluten free doughnuts and vegan cupcakes everything looks yummy, I bought a vegan chocolate cupcake for my husband- he didn't know any difference- I gave it to him he ate it and said it was good ( never told him it was vegan) I had the twist Dairy free ice cream in a red velvet waffle cone - it was So good! We will make a road trip again just to stop here!

    I've heard many gluten free people RAVE about how good this place is so I decided to give it a try. Oh. My. God. They were not lying. First, the staff was so friendly and gave lots of information. Second, both gluten-free and regular are separated from each other in different cases. Third, you literally cannot tell this is gluten free. It was so dang good. I devoured it right in the parking lot. I will absolutely be coming back a million times over. It was so good. I plan on recommending this to anyone I know that's gluten free and hopefully can use them for my own birthday cakes! They offer a selection of cookies, donuts, and cupcakes. They do have canned coffee but I didn't like that. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience.

    A nice little gem of a bakery in downtown Wake Forest, which is a town that sorely needs more businesses like this. They have been open for about a year or so and their products are top notch. Not only are their baked goods gluten free, they are not overly sweet, which is what I prefer. Anyway, they offer a nice selection of donuts, cupcakes, cookies and cakes (to order). They have a buyer's rewards program and offer coffee (hot) and drinks from the refrigerator which is near the counter. Awesome place. Definitely check them out.

    The place in Wake Forest for decadent, flavorful vegan desserts. While driving through downtown Wake Forest craving sweets, we came upon Plant Cakes Bake Shop. We excitedly realized it was a vegan bakery that also serves gluten-free items. The donuts in the display case first caught my eye, then the unique waffle cone flavors. I decided on a cookies and cream donut with an orange waffle cone filled with dairy-free vanilla ice cream and rainbow sprinkles. The items were delicious! I particularly like the flavorful orange cone paired with vanilla soft serve. I have seen coated waffle cones before, but not flavored ones. The orange was definitely more flavorful than the red velvet. Prices and portions are comparable to similar establishments. Overall great place for desserts especially if you are gluten-free or vegan!

    Chocolate and chocolate with peanut butter. Yum!!

    Vegan and option of gluten free goodies served in this downtown Wake Forest bakery. Never had a plant based donut before and I'm not vegan nor gluten free but I do follow a mostly pescatarian diet. I don't indulge in sweet treats often, but had to try it and yum! The only downside is you pay top dollar for organic and plant based goodness. It's probably twice the price of other bakeries but a girls gotta indulge once in awhile. Glad to have this option and will have to try their cupcakes next time I'm feeling indulgent.

    Gluten free. Cupcakes various flavors

    The donuts are very good. The employees are not warm at all. It's a little strange. I'm all for " do you" but smile a little bit

    Some vegan baked goods can be superior to non-vegan... Plant-Cakes does it!! Wish they were closer by, but it's worth the trip.

    I don't know it's GREAT...lot of people using the word "great"...it was all right. The dishes…read morerotate from what I understand so speaking on specific dishes seems pointless. We had one app (tuna poke nachos if you must know) that were very good, but everything else was sort of mid. The ideas are good...execution comes across a bit flaccid. No bold flavors, only bold ideas. Draft beer selection was definitely good. Mixed drinks tasted fresh (no sour mix etc) and the ambience was welcoming and chill. Staff were all nice. Place seemed clean. Flavor Score: 3 Experience Overall : 4

    Easily one of the best restaurants we've been to in the area! Had a family birthday celebration…read morehere and it was an amazingly great experience! Our server, Dawn, was easily one best servers I've had in a long time. Knowledgeable about the menu, made a point to explain everything and no questions were too obscure. We had a variety of dishes, and out of everything the pork schnitzel wasn't really a schnitzel if you've ever had one in Germany, it was more like a breaded, fried bone-in pork chop, really good but not a traditional schnitzel. The asparagus, the risotto, the pasta, the chicken were all absolutely superior. The stars were the appetizers, especially the kung pao fried Brussels, those are a meal by themselves, some of the best I've ever had! The fried burrata cheese, worth the drive to Wake Forest. Their Cherry cobbler one word: YUM! The Farm Table is a roomy restaurant with tables well suited for family style dining and while a bit loud, certainly not uncomfortably so Totally recommended and thank me later for those Brussel Sprouts!

    We live in North Raleigh but regularly do our shopping in Wake Forest because it's so convenient,…read moreand once we're there, everything is close by, including lunch. The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

    Outstanding Wake Forest Eatery…read more Over the Falls features award-winning Specialty Salads, Sandwiches, Burgers, Pizza, Wings & Entrees; plus 12 Craft Draft Beers along with an Extensive Bourbon List, Handcrafted Cocktails & Mules. It's always crowded, does not accept reservations and does not have a bar or inside waiting area. You must register with the hostess, then wait outside (or in your car) until you receive a text that your table is ready. While this is inconvenient and unpleasant, the mouthwatering food is worth the trouble. One of our favorites is the Three Sisters Salad- which includes a generous scoop of either House-made Chicken Salad, Avocado Chicken Salad or Tuna Salad (we chose the Avocado), plus a large mound of Broccoli Salad, Fresh Fruit and a Flakey Honey-drizzled Croissant. Another winner was the Flash-fried Calamari & Banana Peppers. The substantial serving of Rhode Island Calamari was crispy, oh so tender and perfectly seasoned - with Thai Chili and Marinara dipping sauces. We also recommend the Cali Pastrami Sandwich and the Bacon & Cheddar Cheeseburger. Both come with a Pickle & either House-Made Potato Chips, Tortilla Chips, French Fries, Macaroni Salad or Cole Slaw. The NY Navel Pastrami was topped with Fried Onions, Habanero Jack Cheese, Chipotle Mayo and Avocado and piled high on a flaky, chewy golden brown Pretzel Roll. The big juicy Burger included Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion and several slices of crispy Bacon.
