The cakes I ordered for Thanksgiving and Christmas were so delicious! They were the hit of my dinners! All guests were satisfied and asked to take a slice home! This is my bakery of choice going forward!

Local gem for tasting delicious cakes and dessert. Their bakery items are not sugar loaded like others. Perfect sweetness and savory flavors. Love the owner baker from Nigeria. Wish they have a table for coffee

We discovered this bakery a couple of years ago while searching for a cake for my daughter’s first birthday. They did an outstanding job—the cake looked exactly as we ordered and tasted amazing. Since then, I’ve only ordered cakes from here, and several of my friends have become their customers as well. Our guests has loved their cakes everytime! I was especially impressed when they created a specialty cake for us in just one hour, and it turned out fantastic. I highly recommend this bakery for any birthday or special occasion cakes.

Lucky for us most other bakeries are not open on Sunday and we had to search for one. This nondescript bakery reminded me of some delicious Desserts we enjoyed in Europe. The prices are beyond reasonable for the scratch made delicate pastries and cakes they offer. The fruit tart is my favorite that we got. It was just the right amount of sweet and oh so good. The crust flakey and delightful, the fruit so fresh! The strawberry cake is absolutely the perfect balance of light, airy and summer fresh. The red velvet roll, though not a traditional southern USA version, was quite delicious in this lighter "less heavy" version. The apple tart was reminiscent of apple pie with a baklava twist. Unique flavor. The two cookies we had were quite lovely, They go well with tea or coffee. My hubs grabbed a bottled coffee and we paid right at $20 for the whole lot. Everything tasted great and delicious. I want to serve the tarts at my next dinner party.

This is my new favorite bakery that I go 2 hours out of my way for. There are three categories of sweets: One category is decadent cake by the slice: French napoleon, Italian tiramisu, "German" chocolate, fruit tarts, etc,. The second category is handmade cookies that are a combo of French and middle Eastern: baklava, sesame, powdered sugar, jelly, linzer, almond, etc. The third category is custom cakes. EVERYTHING is perfection. It's so rare to find such skill. Please support this amazing, amazing bakery, you won't be disappointed.

This is a fairly small bakery with no in-store seating. However I was greeted promptly upon entering and the baker was so kind. I ordered three individual desserts to include the tiramisu role, some baklava and an Russian Napoleon pastry(in total, all pastries served 5). It was $14 for everything, which was below average. The tiramisu roll tasted fantastic and simple melted as soon as it touched your lips. Although The Baklava tasted great, it could have been a bit fresher. The Russian Napoleon cake seemed a bit "americanized". I simply make it differently with many more layers that are thinner and more custardy than whipped cream texture. Overall it was a great value and the deserts were delicious. Ill definitely be back.

Sweet little bakery with amazing cookies! I needed some cookies for an event and popped in here by chance. The owner was very helpful and explained all of the cookies and their ingredients. They have amazing baklava, cookies made with almond, sesame, hazelnut, and pistachio. Some have caramel, others powered sugar. They were all fantastic! You cannot get cookies like this at any store. These are made by a master, experienced baker. Worth going out of your way!

I am rarely at a loss for words. But if I could rate the bakery 10 stars it would not be enough. The food and quality are amazing! My husband and I travel the country and this is so far better than any other bakery I’ve visited in the past 10 years. One visit isn’t enough. Because they are constantly adding new items every time we visit. And for a special treat, call ahead to order the croissants the day before. You will not regret the extra wait.
