Went on 05/04/2026. (First time here) for a pick up order. Honestly I was disappointed in the customer service provided. When I went no one was at the counter. I heard noise in the back so out of respect (I assume it was one person working) I waited. I didnโt wait no more or less than 5 mins but when approached I greeted the worker. No greeting was given back. I didnโt take it to heart so then I stated the name for the pick up order the guy pointed at the end of the counter for my order. Mind you it was no way I couldโve known it was for me cause the name was covered and I didnโt want to snoop through orders. I was heading out and said to the worker โhave a great dayโand no response was given back. I left out and thanked him. No response still. I got home to try the cake it was more icing than anything and unfortunately the cake was dry. I donโt normally do reviews. However, I support black own and was looking forward to trying them for about 2 weeks. Cause I saw them on TikTok. I had gotten off of work and headed straight there. No the worker there didnโt know that. Iโve worked in customer service for years and to extend kindness back isnโt that hard to do. Especially when you hav

I must've got a bad batch or came on the wrong day. I ordered a strawberry crunch cake and a pineapple cake. Pineapple cake was plain I guess the pineapple was just in the icing. I was really upset about the strawberry crunch cake again. The flavor is just in the icing, but the cake was not a fresh/moist like it's been in the refrigerator for a couple of days .for it to be nine dollars is way too much The texture was like eating a spoon sugar(texture only). I didnt like it at all it was a waste of money for me .The one good thing gets the size of the cake, but it's still not worth nine dollars. I have gotten a lot better for a lot less and I would choose a store cake over this cake any day and the lady I dealt with I wouldn't say rude but I also wouldn't say friendly. It was a hurry up pick what you want and pay. From the reviews I read I was expecting something totally different.

Recently had a slice of their cake at a Business Expo my church hosted and their cake was absolutely out of this world. We had 3 different cakes slices and with each one they kept getting better and better. The lemon cake was our absolute favorite- so moist and fresh! Highly recommend!

I'm particular about red velvet cake, and theirs is awesome!! Moist and the frosting is good too! I'm usually a cupcake person, so I've tried all flavors over the years. Other than the parking being tight sometimes, this is my recommended cake spot in the area.

Cake bakery that is a true treat. Cakes are just so moist and flavorful. The flavors are both simple and complex at the same time. They regularly have a variety of cake slices and cupcakes available. And of course they sell full cakes as well which can be ordered. The carrot cake is my personal favorite but I have had a slice that I havenโt loved. If you havenโt been, this is a must visit type of place.
