This place would’ve been a five stars in our review, but they don’t have any tree nut safe options. We were recommended to visit for the special Wednesday $1.00 cupcake deal, and sadly my son wasn’t able to have an afternoon treat because of the allergy restriction. It would be great if there was a way to isolate some cupcakes from exposure, because a large segment of the population has a treat allergy (and only growing). The cupcake was good though.

This is a very cute bakery where everything looks and tastes great. Their selection is so beautiful and appetizing that i spent a good 15 minutes just looking and trying to decide my first time there. I've been there 3 times and have enjoyed everything that I've tried so far. If you go Monday-Thursday they have daily specials which are a steal ($10 off cakes, $1 cupcakes, etc.) My personal favorite is the wagon wheel with fresh strawberries. I go during my lunch break and the ladies working there have been awesome and even wrote on cupcakes for me. Very prompt service and very helpful. The isn't a place to sit and i doubt they sell drinks so eat everything in your car on your way home if you don't like to share.

This is a very homely bakery with awesome awesome cakes and pastries. Once you order from here you will not go elsewhere. You can order your cakes over the phone and the staff is very knowledgeable and will help you bake the best cakes. The cakes are so tasty and reasonably priced. We have been ordering from here for the last 15 years. Though we moved we still come here to get our birthday cakes. Come and try them out, you will not regret your decision. Stay safe guys.

Got a cinnamon apple wagon wheel and a dozen cupcakes for new years eve and everything taste amazing! The coffee cupcake and carrot cake cupcake were my favorite! Cupcake is on the denser side yet moist and just how I like it. Went back yesterday and got blueberry muffin, cinnamon sugar Danish, coconut macaroons and a loaf of bread. Friggin amazing muffin texture and taste!! Everything else was great too but the muffin stood out for me. Will definitely go back!
