This was my first visit.
I wanted to try the regular banana pudding, but it was sold out, so I tried the salted caramel banana pudding. I also tried a vanilla cupcake, sweet potato pie, and the peach cobbler.
1.) Salted Caramel Banana Pudding: Great!- 5 stars
2.) Vanilla Cupcake: Good!- 4 1/2 stars
3.) Sweet Potato Pie: Ok- 3 1/2 stars
4.) Peach Cobbler: Not so good- 2 stars
*I gave the Peach Cobbler 2 stars due to the crust not being done completely, but the filling was ok. Without the crust being done throughout, I couldn’t finish it, as you can see in the photo.

Service was wonderful . Told me about the products. Smelled delicious in the bakery. I tried a large peach pudding which was Amazing, and a small No-nana pudding also Amazing. These dont have a chemical back taste that I usually come across with banana puddings .. AND I was told no pork either so that’s a big win ! I definitely recommend …
Also a hit with the kids !
The peach taste like peach and the no-nana taste like Vanilla wafers

Resisting temptation is a skill I have finally mastered, but it was a challenge as I walked past a charming bakery on South Street. The scrumptious aroma wafting from it was impossible to ignore, so I felt compelled to step inside and explore the tempting delights they had to offer. Surprisingly, they had vegan options available, which was a delightful discovery for me. Despite not having a sweet tooth, I visit this area frequently and pondered treating myself to a nice indulgence that I could perhaps share at a family gathering. Upon entering, the delightful scents of sugar, cinnamon, and frosting enveloped me, creating an irresistible allure. The friendly young lady behind the counter graciously assisted me in exploring their offerings. Although I didn’t make a purchase that day, I have earmarked this bakery for future visits. I am even contemplating bringing something from here to Thanksgiving dinner as it seems like a promising option.

First of all I love her. The chef is so cute I mess with her every time I go in there. We laugh every time I swear. Her energy and personality is baked in the damn food lol. I’m so glad she opens on Tuesdays again so I can “bother her” the pineapple upside down cake amazing

I’m mind blown!! Such good quality for a good price, the banana pudding actually put a smile on my face I find dramatic reactions to food hard to believe but as someone who isn’t even a huge dessert person, this physically made me smile! Got me so badly I had to write a review, and I rarely do that. Please stay open forever and stay true to your quality, I’m so happy. Getting good quality treats that aren’t overpriced to hell is hard to come by, and this made my day today. You never know whose day you’re making by being true to your craft. Will be hard to not overspend here. The pudding is so creamy and smooth!

Came in randomly bc I was having a bad day, got a dark and lovely cupcake and a sweet potato pie. I had the cupcake when I got home, it improved my mood immediately! So delicious, the ultimate treat for a chocolate lover. I had the pie the next day and omg I am so happy to have somewhere to get my sweet potato pie fix any time. I just moved nearby and this is going to be my go-to for dessert. Can’t wait to try the banana pudding!! Love that they have vegan options as well.

Omg! It was my first time stopping by and I only got the original pudding, I wished I could have gotten something else. The Banana Pudding was absolutely delicious and I’m happy to support a black business at any time! I’ll definitely will be stopping by again!

I only tried the cupcake, but I can’t say that it was five stars, especially that the icing isn’t soft and creamy. The cake is pretty good and moist and flavorful, but was not impressed by icing. Good pricing though.

We ordered a 3-tier wedding cake (red velvet, salted caramel vanilla, and dark & lovely chocolate) and it was absolutely perfect! The cake was so moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet, just the way we love it. The design was exactly what I wanted and looked just like the picture I showed them. Delivery was smooth and on time. All of our guests couldn’t stop giving compliments about how delicious and beautiful it was. Thank you for making our special day even sweeter!
