Ordered the bite size sampler cupcakes for my boyfriend's birthday and they were gone within an hour. The buttercream was to die for and the cake was perfectly moist. Whatever they're doing in there is magic and I'll be going back to try the pudding!

We stopped by this cute bake shop while strolling South Street. We each partook in a different variety of pudding: Christmas pudding, banana pudding, and banana pudding with salted caramel for me. We each ordered a small pudding and definitely wanted more when we were finished. As an avid banana fan, this pudding definitely hit the mark. The cashier was super sweet as well and gave us directions to a nearby restroom!

I got the funfetti cupcake, a maple snickerdoodle, and a maple butter latte. The cupcake was a little less sweet than I would like but the cookie was amazing! Perfect with the latte because the latte was a little less sweet as well. Staff was able to answer any questions that I had and provide recommendations. The shop was cute, merchandise as well. It was a little spot with a mural of Beyonce since they have made her birthday cake twice! I would return, it's hard to find a good bakery

Stopped by this bakery to get some last minute vegan desserts for a holiday party. They had a few options but I ended up landing on their confetti cupcakes. Transparently, they were not the best vegan cupcakes that I've tried and were a little grainy but the people at the party seemed to enjoy them and that's all that mattered! I would potentially go back to try the red velvet vegan cupcake option.

Splendid bakery! Limited but stellar repertoire: perfect cupcakes -- often buy the dozen minis variety pack as hostess gift; various flavors of banana pudding (my fave is strawberry or Autumn spice); the best, personal-sized pineapple upside-down cake; and my husband's fave: sweet potato pie. Seasonally there are a few more offerings, but everything is made with real, clean ingredients and just the best version of each. The buttercream frosting is perfect: not too sweet nor too whipped-butter tasting. I would say to run there now as the best is the spiced cupcake only offered in the Autumn. One of the best baked goods I've ever had. Open daily til 7pm but closed Mondays and Tuesdays. No seating, but a stand up counter if you must have your cake and eat it too right away.

Stopped in by chance because I have trouble passing up a bakery. Upon entering my olfactory went into overdrive with the sweet smells. Lots of various pudding concoctions, pies and cupcakes. I was warmly greeted by the clerk and asked a few questions about the offerings. I decided on the gluten free Peanut Butter and Jelly cupcake. The cupcake had jelly swirled in the peanut butter batter and a dollop on the top of the peanut butter frosting. It was divine. One criteria for me when it comes to bakery/pastry shops is how it smells upon entering and this shop passed the test. I went into others afterwards and they had a weird cleaning smell, very off putting. Anyway this shop also had individual pineapple upside down cakes which I'll have to come back for. I devoured the cupcake before thinking to take a photo.

Finally a bakery that reads my mind: no banana, banana pudding! My sugar-loving heart gives a standing ovation. Cheers to this bakery for executing something fun/different. Also ordered the Strawberries 'n Cream cupcake. Both are sooo delicious. Hit that sweet spot for sure. Very kind service as well.

Deserts. Small cakes. Cupcakes. So on. Wow How delicious can 1 place be. The pineapple upside down cake is the best. I wouldn't normally have fruit with my desert/cake but I'll go there just for this and it's not close The owners are also amazing

Absolutely love their banana pudding (plus they have many flavors to choose from)! They also have banana pudding "flights" including smaller sizes of many flavors, cupcakes, and more. The staff is so friendly and it's a great place to stop in when you need a sweet pickmeup!
