★★★☆☆ 3.0 Richard Hermosillo · Oct 2025

The fruit tarts are definitely mid as in they arent anything to come back for besides the many different options they have for tart pastries. They arent bad they just taste like any other place. Got a peach and fruit tart. The cool whip they add on top of the tart is nasty to me i prefer some freshly made whip cream on top not some cheap cool whip if anything it can taste good without it. friend got a bunny ear bread and a croissant both were okay kinda dry but good to eat nothing special about the flavoring also. 7 out of 10 for this place. The coffee is good

Stay away from this bakery. I was disappointed when I returned to this once amazing bakery. It’s used to be great and have such a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. I’d would now rather buy a cake from Albertsons or even Gonzales market they at least would care about how it looks. We ordered a cake but were disappointed in how it looks and it’s too late to buy another one from a different location. The strawberries are the saddest looking strawberries ever. I don’t understand how they can justify the price they charge for a cake. I don’t mind paying for something that is well baked and decorated amazingly but this cake is not worth it. It rather make a cake at least I would make it with love and care in mind.

The pomir and Florentine were very good. However the carrot cake was not carrot cake, it taste more like spice cake. My wife didn’t like the chocolate dipped brownie, which was odd for a person who loves everything chocolate. I thought the raspberry macaroon was good. However, it could have used more raspberry for my taste.

Scrumptious pastries! I bought a variety of pastries here, on recommendation of coworker. And wow, delicious indeed! Will return here! Update: Have returned for more birthday cake! Always great service, pastries taste delectable

The variety of pastries are great. For the most part I’ve had good experiences here when I get cakes for family parties. The last time I got a cake for my mom’s birthday the penmanship was not the w best. The gentleman that assisted me had closed the box before I could look at it. So I noticed the writing after I got home. Just be mindful so you don’t make the same mistake and take a look at the writing before you leave.
