Showed them a photo idea for a double layer cookie cake in the shape of a 50 for my parent's 50th anniversary with icing in their wedding colors. They said they would need to hand-make it and quoted a deeply reasonable price. The finished product exceeded our expectations. It was super delicious, the cookie layers were moist and a great combo of chewy/crunchy. Fantastic artistry and service - definitely have them make your cookie cakes!!!

Love this bakery! They do some amazing things here! From doughnuts to cinnamon rolls to sugar cookies, everything is incredibly delicious. I love the pillowy dough and the icing on their doughnuts. The filled ones are completely filled!!! The cinnamon rolls taste handmade and the icing is generously applied, which I appreciate! Top tier in my opinion. The banana foster doughnut was spectacular and I wish it was a common staple. By far my favorite! Come check this place out. Won’t be disappointed!

I went in knowing they had amazing cookies and donuts. However I needed a special specific cake for a friend's 50th birthday. I popped in and talked to Chris who took my order and ended up making my cake. Chris was wonderful but I was still a little apprehensive as to how it would turn out. When I picked it up I think I literally gasped it was spot on and I was thrilled! Chris can't thank you enough. You are very talented! Everyone loved the cake and I had several people ask where it was from. Birthday girl loved it and tasted amazing!

10/10 no notes! I reached out about a fairly large order for custom made sugar cookies- they were able to assist without an issue. I met Lizzie when I picked up the order, she was so kind. The cookies looked perfect everyone loved them. #supportlocal
