My friend had the warm cider, which was comforting and flavorful, and I ordered a matcha tea that was absolutely delicious. I paired it with one of their sweet cakes, and it was fresh and perfectly indulgent. Definitely a lovely spot to relax for a bit. I'll be back.

First of all "Who is Hom?" I asked for "Happy Birthday Mom."…read more The cake was supposed to be lemon with raspberry filling. The cake had no lemon flavor. I would have thought that the cake would have had lemon zest as well to give it more lemony flavor. The cake was very heavy. Very very heavy. So heavy it was hard to cut. I did not take the rest of the cake home from the restaurant. That is how disappointing it was. The decorating was very dated. I did not expect cutting edge but what I go was 60's or 70's. It looked like a 13 yaer old decorated the cake. Bottom line is I should not have to order a wedding cake or a beer can cake or a yoda cake in order to get a stellar cake. Anyone ordering a cake is doing so for there loved one. The amount of the care given to the cake should not be determined by the amount being paid or the occasion it is for. Bottom line consider getting a birthday cake somewhere else.

I saw this bakery pop up on FB in a local page I follow. I was so surprised that I had not seen the…read morebakery before since I drove past it almost daily. Reading all the reviews on their page made me curious. One of my coworkers had already been and said that everything she had tried was good and they were so friendly. Well I decided to buy goodies for my coworkers. I stopped by on a Thursday morning around 6 am. I walked in to a little slice of heaven, lots of pastries to choose from. As i walked in a man was coming up with a tray full of bread. From what my coworker had said and from the reviews I read, I expected someone to smile and say good morning. I got neither. Kind of disappointed. I bought conchas, a croissant and a sugar cookie looking pastry. I can honestly say that I forgive the rude man with the mustache, those were the best conchas ever!!! I will be back to try all or the yummies.

Sorry, Steve's Bakery - you are so overrated, and your business model is the pits…read more What's the point of having a bakery when you don't update your current and potential customers on the (lack of) selection of your offerings and have people just depend on luck? Staff are standoffish and not helpful either; we didn't feel welcome when we came in, so we did a quick 180 and left. Parking lot available. +poor business model +avoid the staff +ample parking

Our large group of 3 families enjoyed breakfast here and the lovely staff were very accommodating to our chaos. 3 grandparents, 4 parents and 4 toddlers to order, eat and we all enjoyed ourselves. We all loved the treats, the food, and best coffee we could find in the starved rock area! I got for the 4 I was in charge of: 2 hot vanilla latte, a kids French toast with bacon, a biscuit and gravy, cream horn, cinnamon roll, and more treats I can't recall now. Highly recommend this cute little stop and if we are in the area again we'd definitely stop by!
