    If you have a sweet tooth, this place will do the job. Very inviting and friendly upon walking into the shop. There are two small sitting chairs but this is not a place for you to sit down and enjoy your treats. They have a menu that appears to change with what flavors they bake that day. I had the vanilla almond cake and my little one had the vanilla cupcake. The cake was very moist and soft. I'm not really a frosting girl so I took about half of the frosting off but the cake was really good. My little one enjoyed the vanilla cupcake, took all the frosting off too lol. In any capacity, great place to grab a quick sweet treat.

    I noticed this place on my visit to New Garden Bagels a while back but it was closed then . So today on my visit to the bagel shop I also stopped by this place which is right beside. Such a Cute little place . Decor was Beautiful . There wasnt a lot of cake selection but they did have the basic varieties like Carrot , Pumpkin, Red Velvet, Mint chocolate & Vanilla cakes . They do have quite a selection of Cupcakes and cookies though. We got a slice of Carrot cake and Pumpkin cake . Pumpkin cake wasnt overly sweet and texture was Perfect . Carrot Cake was a bit sweet to me but my husband loved it . Both cakes had the same Cream cheese frosting . Prices are comparitively Low to other desert places around . Young lady at the counter was super friendly . I would definitely go back to try their other sweets.

    Great little place to pick you up a sweet treat. They have a few different varieties of cakes to purchase by the slice, a few varieties of cupcakes and fresh baked cookies along with a number of other baked goods on display. They have some neat little seating arrangements if you want to kick back and have your cake there. I tried the Pink Lemonade Cake and it was outstanding, the cake itself was so light and fluffy and not dry at all, had a great lemon flavor and the super rich lemony icing with the not so sweet cake was a great balance. 2 thumbs up on the Pink Lemonade.

    This is a very nice bakery that specializes in cakes and cupcakes. I would say that it is one of the better places in town to find cupcakes, since they have quite an assortment ranging from Kahlua and vanilla. The prices for each is also reasonable as well, as they cost about $2.50 each. Everything they make is well made and delicious. I can tell that the owners are passionate about what they are doing. For the most part the service is very good, however sometimes the staff mixes items up. For instance, I once ordered a Kahlua cupcake and instead received a chocolate one. Another time I came in, I received the wrong amount of change as well. However overall, this is a great location, and I highly recommend visiting for most of your cake needs!

    Honey bun cake!

    We had a great first visit to Sweet Meg's! Not only is there a great selection to choose from, the people here are so kind and helpful. We grabbed a slice of honeybun cake and a cookie dough cupcake. The honey bun cake was really fresh and delicious. The cake part was light and fluffy like a honey bun. The cookie dough cupcake was sweet and tasty. Super cute decor, delicious pastries and great service. Awesome little find!

I only went to Cheesecakes by Alex because it was the meeting place selected by someone I was meeting with. I thought I would grab a tea, have the meeting, and then leave. However, nothing went as planned. Lol First, I am a "sucker" for eclectic vibes, which is the ambiance that the Elm St. location gives. The inside has a large mural on the wall, it has rustic flooring and furniture, and it is nothing like what I had pictured. I thought I would encounter a more "refined" place where everyone had their pinky in the air because of how everyone raved about Alex and his freaking cheesecake. Gracious! I completely understand now. I mean, I get it. Lol So after the meeting, this roughly drawn menu reeled me in because it had CHAI TEA. That's my jam. Once I had a sip of my delicious hot Chai tea with almond milk, I KNEW everything else was probably tasty, so I (in a reserved way) ordered an apple muffin. The muffin smelled divine, so I inquired (because I HAD to lol) about the best-selling cheesecakes. The cashier smiled at me and directed me to the Bourbon Pecan and the White Chocolate Raspberry flavored cheesecakes. They were $6 per slice, and I couldn't decide, so I had her pack both. I had a long day planned, so I had to take the slices home and refrigerate them. I almost forgot about them until around 10:30 when I had a sweet craving, and...have mercy! BOTH cheesecakes were velvety smooth, flavorful, and decadent. The Bourbon Pecan was heavenly. I could definitely taste its unique flavor pairings, and it had enough pecans. I also loved the buttery crust. The White Chocolate Raspberry was rich and creamy, with the tang of the raspberry exactly where and when you need it in every bite. I had to take bites out of each, you know, to treat them fairly. Lol Although I paid dearly for eating too much dairy, it was worth the experience. Sometimes, you just have to eat the lactose pill and jump in! I'm so glad I did. Now you know that Cheesecakes by Alex is Kiesha Speech approved. Hands down, they are bringing more than flavor. Cheesecakes by Alex is bringing the "flava!" I hear there are several locations in NC. I hope you can try one near you.

Just inside, the pastry case is centrally displayed under the main counter, stock full of an array of traditional French pastries, so long as you arrive before they are sold out. To the left, is an open view of the kitchen, where you can watch the bread shaping and baking take place. I ordered an americano, alongside the sausage roll, the chocolate almond croissant, and the oranais, a traditional apricot filled pastry. Each croissant was flaky, buttery, and flavorful, washed down by the americano, leaving nothing to be desired. To top it off, the pastries were enjoyed on a beautiful, sunny day among the patio seating within the alleyway. Breakfast in Paris is a must try if you are in search of tasty French pastry within close reach!

The pain au chocolat was soooo good, it's a legendary pull. A lot of buttery layers over a rich chocolate center. It isn't overly sweet and the butter shines through. It's also a perfect pastry to share. To drink, their Americano is nicely made. Robust with a clean finish that highlights the quality of their coffee. They also have imported drinks and other specialty made coffees. Service was solid. Overall it's a great place to have around. Can't wait for my next visit.
