Atmosphere is amazing, open aired and fresh feeling once you step into this small yet perfectly decorated and upscale delight of a bakery (bakehouse) the displays are perfect and everything is so clean. The owner/I'm presuming was kind and very cordial and friendly. The pumpkin cheesecake was amazing!! Overall I would recommend this gem to anyone in the area. I will be coming back to try the vegan options. Great job bake house, it's rare to find a bakery that is as solid as you. Tbh there is zero criticism and believe me when I say that means you are top notch.

I'm grateful for this little bakery near my house. As a former baker, I typically prefer to make my own desserts. I'm notoriously picky as I have sensitive taste buds. But I also have a disability and sometimes I don't have the energy to bake myself and this bakery is my go to! I have full confidence that whatever I order from them I'll be exceptionally pleased with. I just had a tiramisu cake for my birthday and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. My dad was exceptionally impressed with Vegan cupcakes. He is not vegan but a dinner guest had an allergy. I have also bought gluten free items for another event where a guest had an allergy and again, excellent. No need to buy two different desserts if you have some guests with food restrictions and some without....but you may want to because it's all so good.

This place is absolutely amazing! We asked them to make special cupcakes for us to reveal our baby’s gender, and they went above and beyond. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, and the cupcakes were not only beautifully made but also delicious—filled with the perfect reveal color cream! It was a truly magical moment for my husband and me to take that first bite and discover we’re expecting a baby boy 🩵 Thank you so much for making this experience so special!

Look no further for the best bakery - We needed a perfect cake for my son's celebration of life and we were so pleased with the masterpiece that was created. It was movie star quality and the design work was top notch. My son loved sunflowers and succulents and Pam created the most perfect design. My daughter sat down with her and explained detail by detail. You could see all the love in her design. And the taste of this carrot cake was the best I have ever had and I have had a lot. Thank you Pam & Gayle for the best cake for my son Michael's celebration of life 🙏

We ordered a vegan chocolate and strawberry cake for my sisters birthday, and she said it was the BEST vegan cake she has ever tasted! The chocolate cake was very moist and the strawberry filling was delicious! I loved the salt in the icing. Just the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely ordering all our vegan cakes from here from now on!

LOVE this bakery!!! Gayle and Pamela are so kind and accommodating. We asked them to make our wedding cake in their signature chocolate raspberry flavor (and to keep the natural pink frosting!). Everyone absolutely loved the cake, it couldn’t have been more perfect. They were very responsive and made sure everything was perfect for us. Their flavors are always so fresh and never fake-tasting. If I could afford it, I would go here everyday :)

Gluten-free goodies, gluten-free goodies, gluten-free goodies! Call ahead if you want one or couple three GF cupcakes. They don't always have GF cupcakes available. It was a hearty crumb kind of reminded me of a sweet cornbread. I don't know if there's any corn used in the making of the cake though. delicious! Raspberry buttercream on top or in the center as I like to eat my cupcakes. I wouldn't get the biscotti again but maybe if they dipped them in chocolate :-) I'm so pleased I live close to a gluten-free bakery! They had several GF offerings when I went there

A truly wonderful local business that deserves your custom. Pamela and Gayle clearly love what they do and it's always a highlight of my weekend to stop in and pick up some supremely enjoyable baked goods, and also have a pleasant chat with the good folks who baked them. My go to's include their croissants (butter, chocolate, or ham&cheese), their banana bread (so good! Gluten-free and chocolate chip variants are available), the delectable cupcakes, and their tiramisu cake slice. I've also enjoyed their custom cake creations - they made a wonderful raspberry chocolate cake for my mother's birthday that was the star of the show. The also make cute dog treats! Love this business and hope they continue to get supported by the local community!
