No Pie is worth 50 bucks! Absurd! When I ordered a milk shake the lady working the counter was almost puzzled by my order! I dunno man! A lotta Hype and not much quality. The fact that NO ONE respond to any of the bad reviews reinforces the bad service trend starts from the Top! When the owners dont care staff dont care. The Apple Pie at Costco blows this thing out of the water. Go back to the fireman job leave the baking to The Baker

Wow…this was an amazing place to come for some dessert. I visited this location of Fireman Dereks for my first-ever Yelp Elite Event and it did not disappoint. After checking in I received a giant goody bag from the two friendly staff working in the evening. I got a slice of key lime pie, cake in a jar, a giant cookie, and a hat. Luckily, I brought two friends to share with me because I would definitely not have been able to finish it all myself. Every single item tasted amazing and satisfied all of my sweet cravings. Their pies looked especially good. I would come back to try their coconut cream pie or NY-style cheesecake. This seems to be a new location and it deserves to get all the attention. The store is clean and has ample seating. Can’t wait for my next visit

The people who work there aren’t overly nice or anything, but they do their job. That’s not why you’re here anyway, you’re here for the treats! I’ve had the cookies, cakes and cheesecakes, and I’d spend my last dollar on any of them. Chewy cookies, moist, rich cake, and literally the best cheesecake I’ve ever had, and cheesecake is my go to everywhere. If you’re in the fence, hop over it, it’s so, so worth it.

This place is honestly pretty lame. The food is overpriced and usually stale, or just underwhelming. If you want something fresh, do yourself a favor and go to Sweeter Days instead.
The most entertaining part of this spot is actually the owner’s responses to reviews. He’s consistently rude and disrespectful to anyone who says what a lot of customers are clearly thinking. It’s very much his way or the door.
But this place is in a community where people actually want to support and engage with local businesses. At some point, you’d think there would be a pause to meet customers halfway. So come on, Fireman Derek’s — step it up. A neighborhood spot shouldn’t be so unwelcoming that people actively dislike it.
Awe… He’s cryin now. I’m at your moms house actually and the only cheeks clapping are hers…

Slice of Red Velvet is nothing special, certainly not worth $11. Grasshopper was fresh and delicious, smore brownie very good as well- enjoyed the cookie layer. Low rating for prices not being displayed in store or online and when I asked for a receipt, “we’re out of paper”. Other customers claimed to be charged different amounts as well. $30.21 for 3 slices felt excessive for mediocre taste/quality.

Overall, meh, not worth $12 for a slice of cake. The guava and cheese cake was good, not great… Peter Pan Diner has quality cakes and pies all homemade for $5-7… and why are no prices posted? Will it be $15 next time? When I asked the girl behind the counter she literally rolled her eyes before rambling off some numbers. And there’s no coffee or tea option. You get Coke or chocolate milk options. All the cakes were pre sliced and stored in a fridge so you couldn’t even see what you’re buying. When I asked how big the slice was she said really generous. But literally CCF cake slices are bigger. Then the forced gratuity called “service charge” was an insult. One girl ran the computer and the other took the cake out of the fridge. We were the only 2 there. The place was freezing and we had to try to talk over the 2 girls laughing and talking loudly. What service did you provide that your hourly wage didn’t cover? As a local, I like to support local… but not with over priced cake, bad service and forced gratuity. I’ll buy a $12 publix cake next time and have leftovers.

what an amazing holiday ambiance here at fireman dereks bake shop. I’m used to going to the location in wynwood, but this newer location in Fort Lauderdale is way more relaxed and hospitality focused. always a great selection, and amazing personalities working in the back. I wish I could leave more stars because of their cookie butter pie and the help I get when I’m not sure what pie to get.

This is my favorite dessert spot to visit in Fort Lauderdale. The staffs are sweet, polite and attentive. My favorite pie is definitely the Dulce Banana ✨✨❤️ highly recommend

Pies are sub standard at best. Extremely sweet. Unsure if any of the flavors are even natural. For instance banana cream pie tastes like it was made with banana flavour and not bananas themselves. Same with others. Pecan pie is terrible, the bottom crust was soggy and so much sugar instead of a subtle balance between the pecans nuttiness and caramel. The coconut pies were disappointing as well – anything coconut here is basically just coconut flakes tossed. And at $11 a pie it is utterly disappointing. We got 6 pies and 2 cake slices. All were meh. We also got 2 cookies which were also rubbish. Extra sweet – it generally helps mask the lack of baking skill. And it seemed like it.

Our party of 4 loved the pies! We all got something different and shared tastes. All choices were great. I’m ordering a pecan pie for thanksgiving ‘cause it was great.
