Lil' Dutch Bakery — Restaurant in Georgia

Local reviewer! Great service, yummy cupcakes!

I read the other reviews. I'm surprised. The service issue and German Chocolate issue must have been one time mistakes. I live local to this bakery. In my opinion, the hard icing they are talking about is somewhere between homemade soft icing and fondant icing. It wasn't hard. It was just thick like you get in gourmet shops. It was yummy. I tried several different cupcakes and cakes since they opened. I have done extensive baking and cooking for charity and large get togethers or groups. My husband comes from a family of bakers who had their own shop. The cakes and cupcakes from this restaurant are really good. Are they super cheap. Nope. Of course when I'm looking to buy bakery items I don't mind paying a little more for quality. Who wants to serve family or guests questionable quality cakes or bakery items? Not me. I'm sure what those other reviewers experienced was their honest experience and reviews. I just think it was isolated stuff. I have frequented this shop a lot and that has never been my experience. We have never had any issues.

This bakery is attached to a restaurant. There is free parking right outside the doors. It has a dedicated parking lot. The area is safe and just off the highway. The store and restaurant are accessible. You can preorder special orders at this store for holidays and special days. This restaurant is close to multiple other shops and restaurants.

The store also sells premade fresh frozen meals for take home. I will be trying those soon and will post a review.

For our visit, the service and food were great! Restaurant was very clean! We loved our cupcakes and cake! Yum! We bought a salted caramel cupcake, a German chocolate cupcake, a vanilla birthday cake flavored cupcake, an eclair, a key lime cake slice, a red velvet cake slice, and a chocolate cupcake. Our family loved them all. The cupcakes came in a cute pink box that had a special bottom that stabilized the cupcakes in the box (no smooshed cupcakes). Thank you. Everything was excellent. Everything was fresh and moist. I would definitely go to this bakery again.

I only think one thing is an issue with this restaurant. Aesthetically it's very plain & vanilla. This bakery needs some bakery pizaz in decor. Then it would be fantastic. They should also decorate it for the different holidays. The entrance is cute. I like the bakery cases and lights over them. It just needs some decor. It would be awesome if they sold coffee cups or other things with their brand on...

I'm so sorry, but this was not it. I wanted some gourmet cupcakes on the way home (not store bought) and I googled this place, Lil Dutch Bakery, I got 6 cupcakes (assorted) and a slice of pound cake. Everything looked delicious, but once I got in the car to take a bite of the blue sprinkled confetti cupcake IT WAS HORRIBLE! I love icing, as they gave more than a mountain full on the cupcakes (which is fine by me bc I love icing), it was HARD and not sweet. The confetti batter, I tasted the flour, it too was not sweet. Although the cupcakes weighed a pound, they were not good, OH AND THEY WERE COLD, like just got out of the refrigerator cold. This could explain why the icing was so stiff, but it doesn't explain the whole cupcakes being TASTELESS. If you all are reading: pls revamp the recipes, to add flavor and sweetness to your cupcakes and like other dessert places, that I will not stray from, pls serve a freshly baked, moist soft and palatable cupcake, with icing that has the same character- well soft w/flavor and palatable. It's bad when you bring home to the family disgusting cupcakes and even more bad when a 7yr old says," This strawberry cupcake taste bad!" Spits it out in the trash, why bc the icing had no flavor and even the box cake batter you used didn't have flavor 🤢. I seen previous reviews, but was praying I had a better result, no, the reviews were spot on. I'd stick with where I was going. You did get a 5 star from me on customer-service and cleanliness of the place though. However, I will not try the food nor any other desserts, bc of yesterday's purchase of not even close to being good cupcakes, looks definitely can be deceiving. Overall rating :1 and that's bc of great customer service from the young girl, with the glasses, sorry I didn't...

Today, I want to share my recent experience at Lil Dutch Bakery, as this was our first visit, we approached it with high hopes, eager to indulge in what appeared to be a delightful selection of treats. However, I must admit that our experience left much to be desired.

Upon entering Lil Dutch Bakery, we were immediately greeted by an impressive display of baked goods. The presentation was certainly eye-catching, with each item meticulously arranged and showcasing the bakery's apparent commitment to aesthetics. It was hard not to feel excited as we scanned the colorful array of pastries and cakes, envisioning the delightful flavors that awaited us.

However, that excitement quickly turned to disappointment when we decided to purchase a German chocolate cake. While it looked absolutely stunning—a true feast for the eyes—the taste failed to match its appearance. It felt as though something essential was missing from the flavor profile. The cake, while visually appealing, lacked the richness and depth that we expected from a traditional German chocolate cake.

To add to our disappointment, we found the price of the cake to be quite steep. For a product that promised so much yet delivered so little, it felt like we were paying a premium for a mere facade. It’s disheartening when you invest not just your money but also your anticipation into something that ultimately does not satisfy.

While Lil Dutch Bakery certainly knows how to present their goods beautifully, the value just wasn’t there for us. We felt underwhelmed and a little regretful for our choice. I genuinely hope that our experience was an anomaly, as I believe that every bakery has the potential to create something truly special. For now, though, we won’t be rushing back for a second...
