I'm not gonna lie, I've been checking this shops Facebook page daily and I finally got time to stop…read morein on a short work break! This is located right in the downtown area of Lake City. It's fresh, inviting, and just what we need in this little city! The inside is absolutely a vibe. It's cute, it's feminine, it to me - says yummy cupcakes! The display case is nice and large with an assortment that changes daily. To find out the daily cupcake offerings check out their Facebook page! I'm someone who normally goes crazy in a cupcake shop but space is limited in the fridge so I restrained myself to getting only three cupcakes, one for each person in my house. We did two salted caramel cupcakes and a maple praline. My mom and I shared ours and yum! The frosting is SWEET! If you have a sweet tooth this frosting is for you! The maple praline frosting is delicious and packs the most flavor. The cupcake itself is lightly flavored and not overwhelming. The salted caramel, I felt wasn't noticeably salty but that could be my taste buds. The cupcake itself held more flavor than the maple praline did but it wasn't bad or too much. Sometimes cupcake shops will offer but so many get one free but this shop doesn't do that. Instead they do have a reward point service. For every dollar you spend you get a point. Once you get to 100 points it's redeemable for a cupcake or another item up to $5. The cashier was super friendly and patient with me while I decided. Overall I love the shop, and I can't wait to go back for my next cupcake already! The only pain point I would say is the hours aren't not the best with them being open 11-6 or sold out. Maybe it's the big city girl in me but later hours until 7 or 8 would be great for those of us who work during the day and want to go on a week day instead of the weekends. I do understand offering an availability that suits the business and I have seen them open earlier on festival days which is nice! Also parking is street parking only unless I missed a parking lot sign. Don't park in the parking lot across from the shop since it's city hall parking and says they will tow.

I decided to give this shop a try since I have known about it for several months but been unable to…read morestop by while it was open. I purchased two bars: lemon curd and Oreo mud. I was not impressed with the temperature of the bars. While items I buy at some bakeries are cool, they're not cold to the point where the crust of the item is mushy. Additionally, I felt the lemon curd bar had extremely too much lemon flavoring, and I bake and purchase lemon bars regularly! The Oreo mud pie was decent. update: So, I tried their cupcakes, which are MUCH better than the bars. In fact, they are delicious! This may be because I didn't immediately eat them after purchasing them. They were room temperature, and delightful. The icing was delicious, and the cake was moist and yummy. Because I'm transparent in my reviews, I have to comment on the atmosphere of this place. Though the folks in the store gave a nice greeting and seemed friendly, I felt I was encroaching on family time, with various members of the family running around doing things. This is probably normal for the Lake City area, but it's definitely not something I'm used to in a professional bakery.

Mangia! Never would have expected to find such a great Italian deli here in Florida. Counter…read moreservice was so polite. Table delivery came as items were finished. Lasagna portions could definitely serve 2 for lunch. Garlic knots were some of the best I've had- you're going to want more than the 1 served with your entree. Flatbread pizza was tasty. Very thinly sliced eggplant for the parm: kudos! Breading was thin but held up nicely to the sauce. Sauce flavor is bright and tastes just crushed. Only observation is that a little bit of olive oil and garlic with extended cooking time would produce a deeper flavor but to each his own. We fo enjoyed our lunch: worth jumping off the highway.

I do not understand all the good reviews here. I wanted to like it, local place vs a chain, but…read morejust can't recommend. I expected to walk into the scent of marinara, herbs and garlic wafting through the air but no real Italian restaurant vibe going on. Pasta is overcooked (soft). Marinara has no flavor and a little watery. Salad looked better than it tasted with blah olives fresh from a can where they were soaked in water. Lady at the counter wore the same pair of gloves doing numerous activities over the course of 45 minutes. Other employees sat around a table staring at their phones looking totally checked out while chairs were left out in the way, random leftover Napkins were on tables and dirty dishes stacked up at the return station. Not worth it.

Food is good Service is good…read more Employees are nice and friendly and I will always support them and we visit them again and again.

I just wanted a cookie that wasn't from McDonald's so that's what I got with coffee for lunch. No one stopping me from refills. Order ahead and it was ready obviously with no prep needed. Just here to check the vibe out in rural North Florida. Definitely different out here.
