    Chocolate Mouse Cake
    Emmeline H.

    The only local bakery that came through for me on short notice! I called and also submitted an online inquiry to see if they could make my daughter's 9th birthday cake. I didn't hear back for a day or two, but they eventually returned my call and were able to accommodate my request. I had a few specific details in mind--my daughter wanted a chocolate mousse cake, she loves bows, and her favorite color is white. They absolutely delivered! As you can see in the photos, they executed exactly what I envisioned. The cake tasted delicious, the portions were very generous, and the pricing was reasonable for the quality and size. My only suggestion would be sending a pickup reminder. Between mom life and work life, things can get hectic, and a courtesy notification that the cake was ready would've been helpful. They also had a limited selection of birthday candles. Overall, I'm really happy with how everything turned out. They were able to bring my vision to life, and I would definitely order from them again for future celebrations.

    Spinach Quiche

    The food was good. We ordered a quiche wedge bread basket (5/5) and a panini combo- turkey and Swiss (4/5). For the road we ordered a London fog (4/5). The service was quick. The ambiance is pleasant. They offer indoor and outdoor dining.

    Went in this morning to get my mom a cake for her 83rd birthday. The staff was very lost in what direction they were supposed to take in helping the clients A lady cut in front of me so that was already highly annoying. They should probably adapt the number system like Olde Tyme Pastries. It works well for them. Also the cake taste like old bread the frosting was not good. There was so much frosting and it's not good. You cannot eat it. You have to scrape it off. They actually filled in part of the broken cake with more frosting. If you can believe that! I'll post a picture so you can see for yourself. As if this is not upsetting enough now we have to try to cut a cake that's like an avalanche! But the best part was I couldn't get anyone in the Bakery to write on the cake because everybody was either on their lunch, gone home or on vacation and that includes the Manager. My mom summed it up pretty properly though she said out of 83 years this is the worst cake I've ever had! I will definitely not be going back there. $45.00 for the cake that went into the trash. Who knows the cake may have sat in the case all weekend long I'm not sure. Wouldn't have given one star, but I had to

    I should have written this review earlier around the time but it slipped my mind. I had had trouble with another bakery when ordering my sister in laws birthday cake, the other bakery which I will not name lost my order and refused to compensate me with anything. That experience left me going to village bakery in hopes of getting a last minute cake, knowing that the bakery doesn't do same day orders. When I spoke to Sarah on the phone she was very kind and understanding and assured me her team would be glad to help, we didn't just speak about cakes either, the bakery itself is very clean and welcoming, and all the staff were so kind. Village bakery made an absolutely beautiful cake with every detail na flavor I asked for. This was one of the best cakes I've ever had, and I am so thankful to the village bakery team for being so kind and helping me out.

    Tiramisu Cake
    Kristy S.

    Ordered a Tiramisu cake for Christmas this year and it did not disappoint! Not only was it absolutely beautiful but it tasted DELISH! May have been one of the best tiramisu I've had. On top of that the staff was so friendly and helpful... especially with it being Christmas Eve and all the orders they had. They were so pleasant. Worth noting: You do need to give them 36 hour notice for ordering this. Perfection takes time ;) I even picked up a few extra Christmas cupcakes for my niece and nephew! Their selection of baked items is a great variety!

We ordered: Breakfast Tots Grilled Fruit & Brie Berry lemon cheesecake waffle Coffee flight Everything was amazing. I love tater tots and adding the breakfast staples on top made it 5x better. The only thing that would knock it out of the park is some salsa. My friend enjoyed their grilled fruit and Brie. I really enjoyed the berry lemon cheesecake waffle.

If you're planning a Saturday or Sunday visit you definitely want to make a reservation! Based off my first visit I would have give this place 4 stars. The drinks are delicious, the food is incredible with good portions, and everything of course looks great visually as well. The main con the first visit was that service was extremely slow and there was a drink ordered that was completely forgotten about, however they were clearly short staffed and when we did have service she was very apologetic and friendly and comped the beverage so we had no complaints. We went back this month for my birthday and while everything we did have was once again delicious, they were out of a decent portion of the menu. Off the top of my head they were out of all flavors of deviled eggs, pulled pork, tuna for the poke stack and poke bowl, risotto balls, some wines, and a couple other things I don't recall. The first couple times the waitress said something we wanted was out we didn't mind and pivoted, especially since she said those were the only items they were out of. However, it quickly became evident that was not the case. She said the reason was it was Sunday and they are only open Thursday-Sunday so they often run out of stock during the Sunday rush. Like I said earlier, the last time I was there on a Sunday there was no issue with items being unavailable, and I feel like if this is a recurring issue maybe that's something that should be looked at when ordering for the week? But I also am not in the restaurant business so who knows maybe this isn't that unusual. It was just a bummer to go for my birthday excited to try certain things, only to ultimately end up with a chicken Caesar salad (which was still good though!). There were still pros with this recent visit, again everything looked and tasted great and the service was friendly and much quicker than the previous visit. The mimosa flights are fun and there's a ton of flavors to choose from. We got a seasonal peach toast appetizer to share and it was so good. I look forward to coming back soon to give it another shot and will update once I do!

They rolled with it without hesitation, which I always appreciate. My wife was meeting me a little later, and they timed everything beautifully. The food was on the table only about five minutes before she arrived, and with warm sandwiches and soup involved, the timing mattered. Everything was just the right temperature when we sat down to eat. We both ordered the Uptown Gal--roast beef, giardiniera, Dijon aioli, arugula, and white cheddar on house focaccia. The flavors were spot on, and these are substantial sandwiches. In fact, next time we could probably share one. We also shared the jalapeño Parmesan artichoke dip, which was excellent. We enjoyed some there and brought the rest home. The soups didn't have the same opportunity--we polished those off pretty quickly. Very flavorful. The iced tea was clearly freshly brewed and quite strong, which I actually prefer because I can adjust it to taste. It came in a generously sized glass as well. Lucille is a small place, but they've made very good use of the space. The interior is attractive and has a slightly modern, new-age feel. There was a steady stream of people dining in and picking up orders, and it wouldn't take many more customers to fill the place. I also noticed a nice wine selection and an espresso machine. One other thing stood out: the employees seemed genuinely happy to be there. Lots of smiles and a pleasant atmosphere throughout our visit. Excellent food, generous portions, good timing, and a staff willing to accommodate a customer who showed up a little ahead of schedule. An easy five stars from us.

    Breakfast does not have to be complicated to be memorable…read more The sausage, egg, and cheddar English muffin was everything you would hope for--fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, and miles beyond the fast-food version. After a few bites I added Tabasco and Cholula, and it took an already great sandwich to another level. The homemade chicken soup was flavorful and comforting, and a cold Corona with salt and lime rounded everything out perfectly. One thing I really appreciate about Harvest Moon is the atmosphere. It is peaceful--almost tranquil. You hear conversations around the room, but they are the kind of quiet chatter that makes a place feel alive without ever feeling loud. It is comfortable, unhurried, and the kind of environment where you can simply enjoy your meal and be present. A special thank you to Johnny in the kitchen for putting together such a great meal. It shows when someone takes pride in what they do. Shout out to Lindsey for the friendly, attentive service. She made sure everything was just right without ever making me feel rushed. And thank you to Lyssa behind the bar. She was so busy I actually had to ask who Lindsey was, but despite juggling everything going on, she still took the time to make me feel welcome. Good food, genuine people, and a peaceful atmosphere are a hard combination to find. Harvest Moon continues to get all three right. Easy 5 stars.
