We ordered two three-layered cakes for a retirement ceremony. Unfortunately, at time of pick up they only had one cake ready. I would have given it three stars, but we did place the order only a day in advance and this is a small bakery with a high clientele. We chose to take another cake that was already baked and frosted; both cakes were equally delicious. The staff is vibrant, friendly and respectful. The bakery is small but spotless and the prices are fair considering the location.
Now this spot very cool and calm. The German chocolate cheesecake is definitely a 9/10. I don't usually rate that high but this is by far the best in my opinion. As soon as you take the second bite you taste all the authenticity of the cheesecake. This is definitely made by scratch. The coconut flakes, the crust, the cheese and the chocolate all complements each other to be the best cheesecake you have ever tasted. I suggest the German chocolate cheesecake.
The banana pudding is absolutely phenomenal. They sell it in small, medium, or large sizes. They also have larger party servings - essentially, buckets of the pudding - that you can purchase. The bakery has a huge assortment of cupcake flavors, and a nice selection of mini cheesecakes. The caramel pecan cheesecake is to die for. This location is small and gets busy quickly, but the workers are efficient and helpful.
Definitely a 5 stars place for a dessert lover like me! Banana Pudding is incredible, I could finish a medium one myself. Please note that the Pudding is a little bit too sweet (comment by my companion.). If you love something sweet, it is recommended!
While the customer service is great, I cannot say the same for its famous banana pudding. I did not like it. It had too much whipped cream and not enough bananas and cookies. I am so saddened because I waited for years just to try some of their banana pudding.
