This is a small little bakery that specializes in making delicious loaf breads, cookies and friendly service. ”

The best peanut butter pie ”

All of the chocolate-looking icing is their "chocolate-almond" icing-- that's their only choice and although I typically find almond flavoring delicious, this type is terribly disappointing. ”

Prior to placing the order, I asked the clerk if they put fresh strawberries on the cake. ”

The cup cakes are divine. ”
