Drove by this place a few times and decided to make a trip to check it out – what a treat! About the place – the owner is a really nice and welcoming mom who returned to work just a couple of weeks after her 2nd child. Why? Because she had so many cake orders backing up. We talked about her training in the US and London for pasty chefs. She showed a pack of pics of other cakes and I was wowed – this is Cake King quality stuff. I included a few pics of her cake pics. My kids and I ordered a coffee pastry, a mille feuille, an orange pastry, and a strawberry and cream danish. EVERYTHING was hand made in the shop. I also had an authentic Ethiopian cappucinno that was as good as any other coffee I every had – smooth, slightly smokey, rich, and packed full of flavor. This little place is a gem and needs to be on your list if you ever pass by Havana Park Plaza.

AUX Delices – Menu with Prices – 15250 S Tamiami Trail, Fort Myers

I have this problem! I am terrified to enter French Bakery. My knee knocked a little then I ordered twice as much as I wanted! They look so delicious and appealing I just can’t control myself! I was in the neighborhood of Aux Delices, an Artisan Bakery and Café by Andre Gratesol. Beside Aux Delices, Andre also operated the Mon Paris Coffee Shop and Bakery by Reflections Parkway, participated in Farmers Markets at Lakes Park, Coconut Point, FSW College, Promenade and Sanibel during the season. Aux Delices serves breakfast and lunch with breakfast sandwiches, Croque monsieur, Quiches, Panni, salads, and of course French pastries. I walked in Aux Delices because they just put a big sign Expresso by the Eiffel Tower. That is a wonderful idea. I will have sip of Expresso with Mille Feuille. Guess what happened? As I was looking at their two glass display cases, I ordered strawberry tart, mixed fruit tarts, éclair, Almond croissant, Chocolate croissant, and ten mini Napoleon or mille feuilles to go. That is two boxes without my beloved Palmiers! They are mouthwatering and delectable! There is one minor problem, Andre, you have to put little more Chocolate in your Chocolate croissant! Otherwise, you are mon maître boulanger (My Master Baker?)

Mojo Coffee Menu with Prices 15256 E Hampden Ave, Aurora

A wonderful addition to the neighborhood! This is a coffee shop AND an Ethiopian grocer. While I know nothing about Ethiopian ingredients, they DO carry Injera so I am very happy (Injera is a soft, Ethiopian flatbread.) Mojo, the coffee shop – very modern, upscale look. Nice sitting area with a TV and comfy chairs, along with regular tables and chairs. Their coffee is from the Denver-based Kaladi coffee, as well as an Ethiopian roast. They make most drinks with Kaladi’s dark roast, I think that the Ethiopian is more of a medium roast and ordered for an espresso shot or cappuccino. BUT! I give Mojo a whole bunch o’ stars because they carry about 5 sugar-free syrups! Woo hoo! On my second visit (in three days) I ordered a drip coffee with sugar-free white chocolate and it was so good, and fairly guilt free! So, if you want a good cup of coffee, a great place to work with a wonderful atmosphere – come on over to the south side of the metro area and visit Mojo’s Coffee!

Yeh’s Bakery – Menu with Prices – 5725 Main St, Flushing

Note: Cash only Never knew the famous cake was known as Boston Cream Pie since to me, it’s a cream pie with chocolate. I always called the cake by the flavor (Strawberry, Green Tea, etc). On first look, the cake with cream and confectionery sugar on top doesn’t look exciting. I was reminded to make sure the cake is refrigerated before serving. Brought 2 strawberry cakes for the events, I attended. Both group loved the cake. When you cut and eat your first slice, the cake is so light and fluffy meanwhile the cream is a perfect balance. You don’t feel guilty eating since it’s not heavy. This is the type of cream I can eat non-stop. The store is on a street that has hit or miss street parking so you might need to park further away. There are no tables in the store — more of an order and leave. There are some baked goods including wrapped sponge cake.

Fillings & Emulsions – Menu with Prices – 1475 Main St, Salt Lake City

I wanted to love Fillings and Emulsions, especially in light of the fact that this is also my husband’s nickname for me. It used to be jelly filled doughnut, but as our relationship has matured, so have our nicknames. First off, the space is hip and urban. You can watch the pastry chefs at work making their masterpieces in the kitchen. This is cool. I love watching pastry chefery in action. The service was great as well. We had pastry guides to help us decide what the best choices were. We got a variety of items including gelato, lime cheesecake, guava tart, and guava cream cheese roll cake, and macarons. My favorite thing by far was the lemon strawberry macaron. It was light and delicious and had just enough tart to offset the sweet of the berry. What disappointed me was the gauva cream cheese roll cake. I only ate half and then threw the rest away. The cake was extremely dry like it had been sitting in a fridge for far too long. The guava flavor in the cake was really hard to distinguish in any meaningful way. It just tasted like a nondescript sweet jelly substance. The cream cheese filling was good though. I would like to go back and see if this was just an off day or if I ordered the wrong thing, but there are other dessert establishments I would rather spend my money at based on my first experience.

Lowder Baking Company – Menu with Prices – 4019 Fern Ave Suite 500, Shreveport

Can’t say no to bread! I stumbled upon Lowder Baking Co. thru instagram. It is conveniently located right next to Marilynn’s Place. The moment I stepped in the shop, the smell of freshly baked bread welcomed me! I sampled the jalapeno cheddar bread, and it was crusty, cheddary and had that smooth heat from the jalapeno coming thru. Pastries I’ve tried: 1 cheese danish, 3 cinnamon rolls, 4 strawberry danish, 1 pistachio goat cheese, 1 almond croissant. Bill was $53 plus tip. I picked up my pastries around 11 am, so they were not warm (they start selling these at 730am, and I called my order in). Service 5/5 stars Cleanliness 5/5 stars 4/5 stars on the danishes and the croissant. While I think that these are superior around the area, some layers are still stuck together and that, it needs some more butter in the dough. Their cinnamon rolls are outstanding. I cannot help but compare it to Whisk (i love theirs as well). I will be back to sample their cookies!

Arai Pastry – Menu with Prices – 1335 W University Dr, Tempe

This is an absolutely adorable Japanese bakery! I’ve been here a couple of times and the atmosphere is so classy and welcoming all at the same time. The workers here are so nice and very friendly. They have an array of buns, cakes, and pastries available that are sweet, but not too sweet, a perfect representative of Asian pastries. Additionally, all of the products are …. gorgeous, elegant, cute, all in one. The curry buns are to die for and they have a microwave to warm up the buns if they aren’t already fresh. The custard buns are good and so are the Anpan. I’ve tried the coffee/chocolate cake and the strawberry cream cake. I definitely prefer the strawberry cream but both are good. The cake, in all aspects, is not dense and overly sweet like American cake, so I think it’s amazing.

Gratitude Coffee – Menu with Prices – 1307 Edgewater Dr, Orlando

Updating my five star with another five star because Jen has upgraded to the cutest little brick and mortar coffee shop! Jen absolutely exudes what it means to be local and support local- her shop houses goods from soooo many other local vendors, and considering the limited space inside, it’s a true feat. Jen is such a sweet person and I love swinging by here on the way to work. It’s clear she has a lot of repeat customers (puppies included!). Her menu is extensive and she’ll customize your drink any way you want- she has a variety of milk options, vegan and non vegan, and various sugar types too (even coconut sugar!). Her roast is her own, and it’s smooth as butter (which speaking of, she’ll even make bullet proof coffee if that’s your sort of thing). I love the coconut latte and the cubano. The sweets vary from week to week but are all amazing! I love the cheese danish, the apple cake, and the pumpkin bread the best but seriously everything is so perfect. Honestly, I never would have found Gratitude Coffee without Yelp and now it’s one of my local stand bys that I would recommend to anyone who’ll listen. It’s impossible to leave without a smile on your face. The service, the coffee (or tea!), the baked goods… Everything is just right!

Cakes of Paradise Bakery – Menu with Prices – 6322 6th Ave S, Seattle

Am I in paradise? Close! My friend and I visited Cakes of Paradise for some dessert and overall, I was pleased with our treats. My friend ordered one of the rainbow cakes while I had the Silly for Chantilly Bowl, which is one of the featured dessert bowls they have here. We shared both of the items. The rainbow cake was solid, and could see why it’s so popular. It really had a tangy flavor from each of the fruit: guava, lime and orange that make up the rainbow of this cake. Texture was soft and light, with a fruity, gel-like icing between the layers. My favorite of the flavors was the guava, by far. I would most likely order the guava cake on its own versus getting the rainbow. The Silly for Chantilly Bowl included a slice of the chantilly cake with chocolate and caramel sauces, macadamia nuts and we got ours with Kona Coffee ice cream instead of the vanilla flavor, as you get a choice from the two. Because of how strong the Kona Coffee ice cream was, which was fantastic, it was hard to taste the chantilly cake. I was expecting more of the macadamia nut flavor, but enjoyed what I tasted, regardless. I’d recommend getting the chantilly cake on its own if you really crave the cake. Perhaps it would’ve been different with the vanilla ice cream, but Kona Coffee ice cream is no regrets! In addition to cakes and dessert bowls (cakes with ice cream and toppings), Cakes of Paradise offers doughnuts, pastries and can customize sheet cakes and whatnot. Plus, Kona Coffee. Parking is outside of the shop, so is accessible. But I have a feeling this place gets busy. We visited an hour before closing, so had the place to ourselves. But expect a crowd at peak times. Glad to have finally tried Cakes of Paradise!

Chatta-Cakes bakery – Menu with Prices – 5143 Hixson Pike, Hixson

Had a shark themed cake for my babies first birthday party. Wasnâ??t specific they did great on delivering the image i wanted for the cake made the shark look friendly. Not only did it look good on the outside but it was absolutely delicious!!! It was red velvet with cream cheese filling. Buttercream had to be on the outside for how i wanted the cake. It wasn’t over powering or too sweet. It was perfect!! I also had a Strawberry smash cake for my son & it was really good he loved it. The Women & Man in the shop were so nice & friendly. The man was generous enough to help me take the cakes to the car. I do not regret choosing them for my sons first birthday cake!!! They were amazing. I will continue to shop with them for future parties!!!

Nancy Jo’s Homemade of Raleigh – Menu with Prices – 1201 Agriculture St, Raleigh

With so many taste options at the Raleigh Farmer’s Market its hard to stand out but Nancy Jo’s makes some seriously yummy cakes and cupcakes. I have tried the caramel cake & cupcakes, red velvet cupcakes, strawberry cake and pig picking cake & cupcakes. The “cakes” are usually a half of a cake – which is actually a decent serving option most of the time but there are usually a few whole cakes available. If you have something in particular you want in mind, I would suggest giving them a call. They are always happy to place something on hold for you and if you give them a heads up they can even make sure its available the day you want to come pick it up. It is a little pricey, sometimes almost $40 for a cake but man are they good! The cupcakes are HUGE too – there are 4 in a box but I can assure you one will fill you. The cake is soft and airy and very moist but by no means wet. I had never heard of a “pig picking cake” before but the description sounded good – orange cake with pineapple frosting. You might expect it to taste like a super sugary pina colada; however, it is rather magical. Again, the cake is light and moist but doesn’t taste especially like oranges (or at least I can’t taste it). The frosting is whipped and fresh with taste little flecks of pineapple. I have taken this cake and cupcakes to several parties – people gobble it up, moaning with each bite. I didn’t personally eat the red velvet cupcakes (I’m not a fan of cream cheese) but my sister ,who is a red velvet fanatic, told me they were excellent. The caramel and strawberry cakes were just what you expect – and I mean that in the best way possible. Wonderful vanilla cake with obviously homemade caramel frosting and strawberry cake with strawberry frosting. I’m more of a fan of caramel but I assure you I sampled the strawberry and wasn’t disappointed. The people are incredibly helpful too! I’ve called more than once with requests and last minute begging for them to put something aside while I race there to pick it up before they close. They are accommodating in every way. Next time you have a BBQ or dinner party and you don’t feel like baking – do yourself a serious favor and go pick up a cake. It will be better than anything you would have thrown together and everyone will be asking for the recipe.

Tricycle Ice Cream – Menu with Prices – 70 Battey St, Providence

We got here because of Facebook advertisement. It looks good. Especially the red velvet cheese cake ice cream. Sadly, when we got there, they don’t run that promotion anymore. So no more red velvet cheese cake. That was a post from two weeks ago.. Everything is prepacked, so you cannot really mix and matched. A little disappointed I got the Kyoto Matcha with Orange short break cake. (Not specialty so it’s $5) Did not like it. The Matcha is no Matcha taste, it looks green but there’s not green tea taste at all. Matcha should have this bitter taste which I definitely could not taste it. Anyway, it is good because it is not sweet. I think the orange cookies kinda over power the matcha taste, and by a lot. I honestly do not think orange and matcha match well together. Orange has too strong taste and matcha is subtle bitter taste. Especially the matcha they were using. But I was not able to get it on a drumsticks (my fav type of ice cream). Anyway I come here should get sandwich anyway. My husband got a Cherry with chocolate and toasted almonds and I think dark chocolate cake/bun/ biscuits? It was very hard that we could not bite into it easily. It is a specialty so it is $6. Drumstick is $7, but I didn’t get it of course. Anyway I think it’s not worth the price and the hype. My husband was really disappointed. He said it is not worth the time and money to get this. He would rather get Sam and jerry for the same price and more ice cream. Same with me. The lack of matcha and the overpowering orange shortbread cookie really didn’t match and I am sorely disappointed.

Batch Bakehouse – Menu with Prices – 1402 Williamson St, Madison

LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s in the perfect spot for a nice stroll along willie and to pick up a pastry, and truly you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose. The menu is the display so take your pick! I got a chocolate chip cookie (which was superb, giant pieces of chocolate and you could taste the butter with a melt in the mouth ending), chocolate pecan pie (really good, the crust could have been a bit more flakey, but it was the perfect mix with the amount of chocolate and pecans!), blueberry blackberry almond danish- pause. This needs it own paragraph. Seriously, I have dreams about that danish, it was light, fruity, had just the right amount of crunch. Last thing I got was the wedding cookie which also melted in your mouth. So what I’m saying is, anything you get, there is a high chance It will melt in your mouth and you will be very happy leaving the shop.
