Ashley and her team worked with us on our elopement cake and made it very special. The team coordinated with my florist (Amy from McPhee Designs) and placed matching florals from my bouquet on the cake. It was done very tastefully and tied everything together. Buttercream makes the process extremely simple and helps every step of the way. Ashley was always available for questions and made great recommendations. Our cake was the French Macaroon. And the pistachio macaroons were delicious! Ashley is extremely talented and not only makes a delicious tasting cake but also has a great eye for creating something very glamorous out of sugar and flour! You will be more than impressed with the design and taste, as will your guests!!

It's one of those places where you immediately want to order one of everything. We tried a few pastries along with the quiche, and everything was excellent. The Kouign Amann was buttery, flaky, and beautifully made, while the quiche was decadent without feeling heavy. The flavors in the quiche were amazing and the crust was perfect. Definitely one of the best quiches I've had. The breakfast sandwich was also an amazing savory item on the menu, it was served on their croissants so you get the best of both worlds. It does get busy, especially in the mornings, but it's worth the wait. The line moves fast and there's plenty of seating on their lovely patio. I'd consider this one of the must-stop bakeries in Jackson Hole.

The candies, chocolate, clothing and fun "add-on" gift topper selection is the best around. You can find something in every price range and the quality is fantastic. What makes this store my favorite besides all of the above are the wonderful owners and staff. They're always so welcoming, helpful, kind and appreciative of each person that walks in the doors. It feels like a big hug when you walk in and experience it for yourself - makes you want to stick around, take it all in and then come back for more. Definitely a vibe with all it has to offer from the cute little dessert bar in the back, make your own olive oils and vinegar flavors with tasting stations and the non-intimidating department store feel to the entire store. I tell everyone about this place and it has never disappointed. Thanks so much, Julie and Mike, for creating a luxurious, yet affordable store that captures the essence of the 5 senses along with my urge to spend money!

I have been past this establishment many times have never been until today. When I walked in the store was clean and bright but nobody greeted me. There were prices for such items as coffees and sandwiches but I did not see any prices for pastries and the labels detailing what the pastries are were faded and illegible. I was extremely surprised that a single bread roll costs $4 like I understand this is Jackson but that is just robbery. My pastry was also dry and there was nothing special about it. Even at the cash register nobody asked me how my day was going they just said "is that it?

We were in Jackson for 4 days and we found ourselves in The Bread Basket 3 times. It's a Mexican bakery and we tried just about everything in the cases. We bought a bunch to take home with us and share too. Everything was so delicious. My favorite was the flakey pastry with spiced apple filling. They don't skimp on the filling! It was perfect. We also brought home a bunch of tamales, oh my gosh, they are sooo good try the Salsa Verde con Pollo. Spicy deliciousness. Because everything in the national parks were closed, if you're going to be in the park all day you must bring your own food. We ordered their sandwiches for one of our Yellowstone trips. (BTW Yellowstone was virtually empty of people, see my review for Yellowstone for more info). The sandwiches were gourmet wonderful.

I had heard good things about this store so we finally decided to take the family for some treats…read more Boy am I glad we went here. First of all we were greeted by a friendly young saleslady, who was very patient with us while we discussed our options and tasted ice cream samples. We decided there were too many delicious choices to just get one dessert a piece. We picked out six cupcakes. Two S'mores, Salted Caramel, Red Velvet, chocolate raspberry cheesecake, and a brownie cupcake. We also got some German chocolate ice cream, and a sugar cookie with toffee bits on top. We haven't eaten everything yet.... but let me tell you what we did have was amazing!!! Ice cream was creamy, strong chocolate flavor, with pieces of coconut and cake pieces. Yum! Sugar cookie had a buttery flavor, crisp on the edges, but soft and chewy in the middle. Frosting was a vanilla buttercream that wasn't cloyingly sweet, something some places fail at. The chocolate raspberry cheesecake cupcake was pure bliss. A fantastic soft texture, not at all like a muffin in density, but it didn't totally fall apart either. The chocolate was a nice milk chocolate and then it hits you with the raspberry filling, just right. The cream cheese frosting on top put it over the edge. Delicious!!! Every bite was on point. The second cupcake we tried was the brownie one. That one was very sweet, I would even say a little too sweet with the frosting. It was much more dense, probably because it was part brownie. It was not our favorite of the two cupcakes we tried, however our daughter thought it was above and beyond the best cupcake she tried. So maybe if you're really into sweet that's the cupcake for you. The other three cupcakes we have yet to enjoy, but based on everything else we tasted I have a feeling they are going to taste phenomenal. If you're in Idaho Falls looking to get your sugar fix, go here. It's worth every calorie.

Back in my younger days (few decades ago), we didn't have a myriad of niche shops scattered all…read morearound. So, my understanding was "These newfangled places are for millennials and newer," and couldn't find the appeal of them. But: For a little while now, my other half and I have been investigating new-to-us food places. Setting a standard: Nothing is exempt, which means nowhere to hide from the explosion of "Sugar-rush pit stops." This day, we adventured to The Cocoa Bean. So, basically you have drinks to choose, and what sweets you want. As we were there for breakfast, our beverage was already decided as coffee. It is an owner operated place, and the owner was there to serve us. She is about our age maybe a little younger, and was very nice and informative. Honestly, maybe a little bit too nice--like forced sweetness and awkward. After asking her some questions to determine that their drip coffee is not strong, I asked her if she drinks coffee. She told me yes, and that she would typically use four shots of espresso in a coffee to make it strong. Though I thought this was a lot, I went with that recommendation. Well, I guess my strong is much stronger than hers: The red eye (drip coffee with espresso added) I ended up with was weak. My other half (who typically plays it safe with a latte) didn't enjoy the coffee experience either. So if we were to go back, we would definitely go to a different place to get coffee. As for our treats to complement our coffees: Taking a quick look at the display case, I saw that all of the cupcakes were heavily iced (I'm not big on icing), so I decided on a couple of cookies. One of the cookies I decided on was a snickerdoodle. Now, I've had snickerdoodles, and they have had a menagerie of flavors all blended into one. This snickerdoodle was brown, but was textured and tasted like a sugar cookie. It just was not a snickerdoodle. That being said, it was a good sugar cookie lol. They carry some I had never tried--macarons. In case you too have never tried them, macarons are a French creation and are different than macaroons. I didn't know what to expect with the Macaron: It was strange; it broke in my mouth like a piece of plastic with a slight bit of flavor--I just didn't like it. I tried a bite of my other half's Cupcake: The cake was actually pretty good, but the icing was the epitome of what I don't like--too sugary sweet. I had been hoping to enjoy this place: I didn't want to say these things. It's not easy being a small business owner. I know that, but honesty needs to prevail. The service was not bad, and she tried to be very engaging. Pleasant enough for sure, but she did seem to me, a little phony or forced. She asked for feedback, wondering how we enjoyed our food. When I told her I didn't like the macarons, and that they just weren't what I was used to, I could tell she didn't receive it well. The whole time eating this strange-to-me food and not enjoying my coffee, the surroundings were just very void of comfort. It's not a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere. It is to sit there under bright lights, with bright attitude and high energy, to eat your treats and be on your way. All this being said, I would take someone back for a cupcake just as an inexpensive treat. 3* for a hard-working attempt, and a good sugar cookie.

The staff were very friendly and frequently came by to refill our coffee. The food took some time to come out because they make everything fresh from scratch, but it was worth the wait.
