We stumbled upon this bakery on a whim when walking around the parking lot looking at other things…read more Even though we were about to go eat dinner, we stopped in for a treat. I was pretty taken aback by how many dessert options they had. Not only did they have a plethora of types of desserts, but they had sooo many flavors/varieties of each one. A dozen different variations of cheesecakes, several cupcake varieties, a dozen different kinds of macarons, several different cakes, tiramisu, tres leches, banana pudding, edible cookie dough, more cookies than I could name, brownies, eclairs, and more that I'm sure I have forgotten. If you can name it, I'm sure they have it. I've been looking for somewhere nearby to get a proper macaron (as opposed to a hard, macaron shaped cookie without the traditional texture) at a reasonable price point. This definitely met those criteria, so of course we tried a flower shaped macaron. It had the perfect, delicate cookie and that classic, light almondy flavor. We also had a brownie batter cookie, which was delicious and reminds me of something I would have saved on Pinterest a decade ago but never gotten around to making, much less as well as they do. Though there was a line inside, we were served super quickly by friendly staff, and found a nice seat outside in the sun. They also had abundant indoor seating. Maybe I'm the last one to hear about Sweet Dough and everyone else has been a fan, or maybe it's a true hidden gem. Either way, I will 100% be back.

The first time I went to Sweet Dough and walked through the doors, I was hit in the face with the…read moremost AMAZING smell of treats. I hope this is what heaven smells like. I have probably gone to Sweet Dough close to a dozen times, most of the time with my toddler, teenage athletes that I coach, or my husband, and no one that I know has ever left disappointed. The desserts are phenomenal. I can personally attest to the great quality of various cakes, banana pudding, bars, cookies, macarons, cheesecake, and the cinnamon buns OH MY GOSH. The prices are very reasonable and most of the servings are awesome! It's also a great hangout spot for a small group. I had team bonding with my volleyball team there last year; we played board games and just kept getting more desserts and coffee! In fact, I need to get out that way and get some more dessert (I'm getting hungry as I type!). The staff are friendly and give good recommendations, and I have never had to wait for food.

The location is very parking friendly and it's easy to navigate. The location was a bit busy when I went, but the staff was completely unphased by it. They got us in and out without sacrificing great customer service. This location is spacious and would be great to drop in and work because they have a coffee bar inside. I got a slice of caramel cake and a double chocolate walnut cookie, which didn't even make it out of the parking lot. It was so good in fact, I contemplated going back in to get another one. The price point was reasonable and based off the quality of ingredients I would say it's definitely worth it. I'm glad there's a location closer to me and I'll definitely be back.

I'm here to tell you, I don't remember ever having any pastry better than these!! If you read my reviews, I'm kind of a pizza, pastry and ice cream connoisseur, so while I don't know much about sea food, I got these handled. Now, every time I go in I look for the BEC pastry, sometimes they have other breakfast items, sometimes they are sold out. So imagine my happiness today when I swung by and they had one left!! Woohoo. The pastry is always so flaky, crisp and buttery. One of the best pastries I have ever had. And I'm not talking about the filling, which is fantastic, I am talking about the actual pastry. Imagine baklava levels of tender, flaky pastry and there you have it. I have other cakes, muffins, pop tarts, and other items. But, I am a creature of habit. Once I find a place makes a certain thing that to me is amazing, I usually don't venture far away from that. The blueberry croissant is always a great treat as well as the other flavors thy off r.

We stopped by their soft opening this week and everything was outstanding. The original High Point location is solid. It's very convenient to have one on the north side of Greensboro up here in Summerfield. The set up is super cool. It feels like you're in a baker's kitchen. The cabinets, countertops, and overall decor give it a homey feel. I spoke with the owner, who mentioned they're still getting everything ready and don't have all the options out yet. But even today, the selection was already huge: pastries, cakes, cookies, ice cream, ice box cakes, macarons, you name it. Plus a full lineup of coffees, both seasonal and classic. We went with a magic bar and a seasonal pumpkin blondie, both moist and super flavorful. Everything is made in house and completely from scratch. Coffees were delicious as well. A macadamia nut decaf latte and a banana bread latte, both tasty and mixed perfectly. Service was super friendly too. What was really unique is that they asked whether we preferred a crunchy end piece or a soft inner piece. A really nice touch. Since we're right around the corner, we'll definitely be visiting often whenever the sweet tooth strikes. Whether it's for a cozy breakfast and coffee or an afternoon or after dinner dessert stop.

First, to help you understand how my experience went, I had not had cheesecake (which I love) since…read moregoing plant-based in December 2017. 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.

For that reason alone, I'm glad that Short Street has entered the game. Across two visits, I've spied everything from sourdough to harvest bread to marbled rye to challah. However, there is far more on offer here than just bread. Short Street has quite a few cookies, cakes, scones, and croissants as well. It occupies a small - or short, if you prefer - space, but it packs a lot of (constantly changing) inventory. It also helps that the folks working here are personable and patient. Everything I've tried so far has been a hit. The marbled rye was thickly sliced and made for a sturdy sandwich bread. An apple spice cookie packed in plenty of apple flavor while a red velvet cookie didn't skimp on the chocolate chunks. I can't attest to their grab-and-go options, but for sweet treats, Short Street is hard to beat.

We hadn't had coffee this way since our Greece trip in 2019 so we went to see if it was legit. As soon as we walked in we were in awe of the dessert spread that you walk past to get to the counter. The cakes looked SO moist and delicious! There were so many tantalizing flavor combos, but what stopped me in my tracks were the New York Rolls. Think giant crispy stuffed croissants! I ordered the Pistachio Cream one and no lie, it was 6 inches across and 2.5-3 inches tall. They asked if I wanted it heated (umm yes) and it was AHMAZING.i also ordered the fig and honey latte while my husband ordered the Turkish coffee. So good and unique! In fact, our visit was so good that 8 days later I chose Fig and Olive Cafe as a hang out spot for friends and I to gather for brunch. We all got the other three flavors of the New York Roll (Chocolate Hazelnut, Fig and Honey, and Biscoff Cookie) and shared them. I got the Pistachio Crème iced coffee and it was also excellent! 10/10 recommend these pastries! We had the opportunity to sit at the cafe from 9am-12:30 and we sat in cozy leather couches and enjoyed ourselves quite nicely! Staff were friendly and helpful.

No frills and thrills, just some tables, chairs and a couple couches. Fine by me! The coffee speaks for itself. I opted for a hot pistachio cream latte. It was well balanced, not too sweet at all. I enjoyed the bites of pistachio topping. I did not try a pastry today but they all looked delicious. There was only one barista at 830am so it took a while to get my coffee. If you're in a rush this might not be a place you'd want to stop by on the way to work. But if you have time, it's worth the wait. I gave it 4 stars because the floor was very sticky when I visited. Not sure if someone spilled something or if it wasn't cleaned, but a couple of other patrons noticed the stickiness also.
