Great cakes. I've recently ordered here for my godson's baptism and birthday cakes and the cake decorator Martin never disappoints. The cakes and cookies is always so moist and tasty. Customer service is good.

Ricardo Rodriguez

Ok, so there's this lady that everytime i come here to buy bread, she's lazy for everything to take my order, bad attitude like "im just here to make a check, so don't bother me" bad customer service like "thats it sir, $5 for your box of bread" and when purchasing my order, she throws me my card on the table like "go away" and im constantly coming here to buy bread. Either correct her attitude or im going to do business somewhere else

Drove an hour to get there, and found that one has to go at 5 AM to get fresh bread. We bought a huge ball of string cheese from their fridge, no label, no expiration date (asadero)...open it when we got home, and it was fetid, stick, and slimy.
