A friend recently gifted me a delicious frozen peach pie from Southern Baked Pie Company, I admit I…read morewas a little skeptical but I'm a sucker for pie so after a few days I decided to pop it in the oven and hoped for the best. I've eaten a lot of pie over the years, homemade, fresh baked from a bakery and from the freezer, this peach pie was one of the best peach pies I have ever ever ever eaten hands down. The crust and lattice work was amazing, the pie was loaded with larges slices of peaches folded into a slight tart filling and for me the most impressive feature of the pie besides the taste was the texture of the fruit which was still relatively firm instead of being mushy like you get in some fruit pies. I am definitely a fan of this bakery and fortunately for me I have a camping trip planned next month in very close proximity to them and will absolutely pay them an in person visit to see what other goodies they have to offer and to fill my freezer. Southern Baked Pie Company is definitely a company you should try...

For the sake of honesty, let me start by saying my initial experience with the Gainesville store…read morewas not awesome. BUT... Management made it right and I sincerely appreciate that effort even though I didn't expect or ask for anything like that to happen. The director of operations went above and beyond and it says a lot about a company when their upper management actually cares that much about one customer's experience. All I wanted was to make a listing error known after what I thought I ordered turned out to be something completely different. My issue was more than fixed by the DoO personally bringing me the pot pie I'd thought I'd ordered as well as a full sized key lime pie; and I'm so appreciative of the effort put forth to make things right. It was completely unexpected but a beautiful gesture just the same. With that said... My thoughts on the food? Cons: I do think it's a bit pricey for a pot pie or a pie in general. The filling needs to be a bit thicker. It was a tad too runny. Pros: Can I make a great pot pie from scratch at home? Yes. Did I have time to do that this week? No. Is mine as good as theirs? Filling wise? Maybe, however theirs did have a very nice flavor. But their crust is FABULOUS! And just so happens to be the best part of a pot pie, in my opinion and I humbly admit, in that realm, they have me beat by miles. We got the frozen, take and bake, which was super convenient. Directions were easy to follow. Just remove the plastic wrap, pop in the oven on 400 for 30 minutes and then lower temp to 375, bake again for an additional 50-60 minutes. Leaving me without having the usual mess I create when I make my own pot pie and after an incredibly busy Monday-Wednesday, I was so grateful! The key lime pie... all I can say is WOW!! I'm not a dessert baker and don't really eat dessert often but I could make an exception for that pie, ANY TIME!! It was just the right balance of tart and sweet, and so creamy! I also loved, even though this is probably an unpopular opinion, that they didn't cover the pie in meringue. Over all, initial error/experience aside, I'm very happy with the food and its quality, as well as the business ethics of the company as a whole. Would I do it again? Yeah, I think I would. It's a healthier option than fast food and even with the price being a bit high, I think it's worth it.

I have to be honest, desserts for our wedding was the last thing that we booked as we had a bit of decision paralysis, but our cake tasting meeting with Jennifer quickly set us at ease. She was so easy to work as she provided her knowledge and guidance while also ensuring our voice and our needs were heard and met. We were blown away by both the flavor and design of our custom cake, as it was far more perfect than anything we had imagined! Additionally, our guests devoured all of the cupcakes that Jennifer and her team brought over, and they were so excited to be able to share which of the three flavors they enjoyed the most! Spoiler Alert: It was incredibly hard for the majority of our guest to decide on just one because they were all wonderfully decadent and bursting with flavor! We will definitely be reaching out to her for any future needs our family and I may have, and recommend anyone and everyone to use the services of Zelle's Cottage as well!

Oh, Country Bake Shoppe, you got me!…read more Being a bakery owner myself, I'm always excited to visit other bakeries. I genuinely enjoy seeing what other bakers create, tasting their specialties, and supporting the talent and hard work that goes into a small bakery. I stopped by Country Bake Shoppe and picked up Whoopie pies, cupcakes, and a pecan bar. Pumpkin nut bread was NOT on my original list. Then I tasted the Whoopie pie. Y'ALL. It was so good that I had to go back and get something else! That's when the pumpkin nut bread came home with me too. When something is good enough to make another bakery owner turn around and go back for more, that says something! There was something so comforting about this little country bakery. Nothing pretentious--just beautiful, homemade baked goods that taste like they were made by people who truly care about what comes out of their kitchen. As the owner of Sugar Daddys Bakery, I spend so much of my life creating things for other people to enjoy. Every once in a while, it's wonderful to be on the other side of the counter and simply enjoy another baker's work. And Country Bake Shoppe, I ENJOYED YOURS! That Whoopie pie got me through the door, but it certainly won't be the last thing I try. From one bakery owner to another: well done. There is room for all of us to shine, and I will ALWAYS celebrate another baker who is putting love into what they do. You definitely have this baker's stamp of approval.

The negatives... Paid $23 for 6 macaroon's and an iced coffee. The macaroons were leftover and not fresh. They were likely made in house, but even more likely to have been frozen for an extended amount of time then thawed to be served. This left them with a freezer burnt taste and very hard to chew. I bought 3 flavors, took one bite of each to compare, and ended up throwing them all away. If they had been fresh made, I guarantee they would have been delicious. Five stars for the coffee and ambiance. 2 stars for price and bakery items. Splitting the difference to give this place 3 stars and would potentially try it again just for the coffee.
