I recently ordered a birthday cake and I wanted It to be as dye free as possible. White writing, roses and only one layer of chocolate in the middle the other was buttercream. The bottom I asked for a ring of rainbow sprinkles. When I got the cake I was amazed at how pretty It was!!! You could easily read the writing and the taste was incredible. The cake was fresh and was absolutely delicious. I will always recommend Mills. They have never let us down. I highly recommended the dye free look. The photo doesn't do It justice.

I found Veriella's and sent them a few photos of what I wanted and they gave me quotes that were significantly cheaper than other similar bakeries in the area. For a 25-person cake, they said the lead time would be about two weeks. They have several cake flavors/fillings to choose from (some cost extra) and we went with a lemon cake with blueberry filling. It was such a good combination - everybody loved it and the cake came out on point to the picture I sent them. Communication was easy (via email). We actually ended up going into the bakery the day before pick-up because we decided to do some last-minute party favors with some Italian cookies. We got a bunch of rainbow cookies, sprinkle cookies, and a raspberry filled one. Unfortunately, these missed the mark. They tasted old and I'm pretty sure they order them from elsewhere because of the cardboard trays/plastic wrap they were wrapped in. I wouldn't come back for these but the next time I need another custom cake, I would definitely order from them again.

My daughter sent several photos and was quite surprised when they made some in every design. They even made some gluten free. They were absolutely delicious and quite the hit. Everyone was asking where we got them. Veriella's! I highly recommend this amazing bakery. The bake goods are delicious and the owners are delightful and accommodating.

I love their coffee. I love their breakfast pastry (LOVE), their blueberry cinnamon rolls, the chocolate puffs-- everything.

There's some indoor seating at the bar but most people take out or eat on the outdoor tables. It can get busy but the line moves fast, as there are locals who know exactly what they want. The menu only shows drinks so definitely ask what desserts and pastries they have available.

Well there is a row of street parking infront and across the street, but they're usually full and with a baby I was being very selective as to which spot I'll accept before venturing in. Luckily, the third time I passed, a spot opened up right in front. They had run out of baklava by 4pm that Thursday, I got a pistachio ball and cream puff instead. The pistachio ball was a little dry (I think it's suppose to be?) It wasn't for me. The cream puff on the other hand was delicious! The shell was nice and a little crispy and the cream had the perfect consistency, just gooey enough. It's not overly creamy/fluffy, it's a little more custardy side which I liked.

My initial thought was that there were not many German style pastries/food like I imagined there might be (cannolis were the 1st item I saw when entering). I chose a blueberry scone to share (the price was steep at $4.50 - it would have been $1 more if I would have paid with a credit card). I the scone was slightly burnt underneath and lacked any real flavor, even the blueberries oddly had almost no flavor. I was excited to visit a German bakery but was left a little underwhelmed.
