I ordered the gluten free chocolate cake with peppermint buttercream frosting & crushed peppermint candy all over. It was so so yummy!! I enjoyed it immensely for 2 full weeks & it freezes great also!! BEST gluten free cake I’ve had from a bakery!! All my family enjoyed it too & they don’t eat gluten free. They wanted seconds it was yummy!! You can order from her & she bakes in her home now.

I recently ordered a birthday cake from Craven Confection and I couldn’t be happier! Jennifer was absolutely wonderful to work with – she really understood exactly what I was looking for and brought my vision to life.
The chocolate cake with buttercream almond icing was absolutely delicious and was truly the highlight of the evening. Everything about the experience was perfect, from working with Jennifer to that first bite of cake.
I can’t wait for our next celebration so I have an excuse to order another cake! I’ll definitely be back again and again. Thank you so much, Craven Confection!
Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Been here a few times and the desserts are definitely better than their cocktails. Every dessert that we’ve tried has usually been pretty good. The cocktails have never been consistent, ordered an espresso martini and I have never had an espresso martini that looked or tasted like the one in my picture, this was more like a really sweet cold brew with alcohol. I’ll stick to the beer instead.

Great little spot! We came over some friends of ours after dinner for desserts and drinks and love the atmosphere and the friendly staff. The desserts were amazing and everyone enjoyed their drinks as well, especially the espresso martini. Wasn’t too busy, nice and quiet for good conversations. We thoroughly enjoyed it and we’ll be back!

The cleanliness, atmosphere, and customer service was great and very welcoming. The red velvet cookie seemed a little hard but tasty to our liking. The gluten-free cake wasn’t that bad considering it was my GF cake ever. To each it’s own but I would return and try other items on the menu. All the desserts on display looked tasty and fresh.

Absolutely gorgeous and delicious (nut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free) cake! I messaged her with an idea and Jennifer brought it to life!

Great service and desserts, definitely be back. We had coconut cake, creme brulee and tiramisu all were delicious. I ordered an espresso martini as well and that was really good, been a while since I had one you don’t see this drink on menus often so I really hope they keep it. Very cute place and decor we had a great after dinner evening here.

I stopped by while in the area. I find interest in late-night dessert bars, especially since it’s an untapped market in the Triangle area. I could hear the live music playing from outside. Sounded nice.
The decor and lighting were nice here.
The staff who I spoke to upon entering seemed unenthused. There were no pleasantries. Nothing about the customer service upon entering felt warm and welcoming.
Overall, very nice place, clean and spacious with plenty of seats.
I ordered the carrots cake which was very good. I also had prosecco.
I decided to eat half and take the remainder home. When I approached the counter for my to-go box I feel there was a smile and a more pleasant demeanor from the other staff.
Had I received the enthused and consistently pleasant demeanor from ALL staff members that I witnessed other customers receiving – this would easily have been a 4*.

Came in for a women in small business group meet. We wanted to support another woman in business and it did not disappoint. Our server, a young man, was so friendly and extra patient with our table when we came in at different times and didn’t quite know what we wanted. He was awesome! My eggnog crème brûlée was great with just enough hint of spicy. And I loved the sugar cookie martini. I will definitely bring my husband for a date night. The only note was that the hot chocolate could be a little more creamy, not too watery. Thanks for bringing such a fun place to WF!

Amazing fancy dessert bar for a nightcap or to satisfy your sweet tooth! They have drinks and high quality desserts. We couldn’t get enough of their Baked Alaska and Creme Brûlée. Their dessert menu changes weekly, the creme brûlée was vanilla bean and baked Alaska was cherry vanilla and both were so good. Can’t wait to come back soon.
