Hen & Heifer — Restaurant in Guilford

Small little shop. Nice atmosphere, calming and smells good.

I had looked this place up online before we went to Guilford for the day, so I can have an idea of what they had because I definitely love my sweet treats.

I ordered a piece of the Irish cream coffee cake, a peanut butter cookie and a butter toffee cookie.

I have tasted each one And they are all really tasty.

The peanut butter cookie melts in your mouth and I like the style of it, kind of like a big thick coin shape.

The butter toffee cookie is addicting.

The Irish cheesecake I've only had a taste of, I'm not a super fan, cheesecake happens to be my favorite cake of all cakes and has been for over 40 years - so I've had a lot of cheesecake lol The flavor was a bit bland, it is definitely spendy at $14 a piece, a small piece and there is no graham cracker crust. The cheesecake is cheesecake texture from top to bottom. I am not rating less than for this because I feel anyone that reads my reviews and full will make a decision for themselves at that time.

But I am 100% with those cookies 😋

A bit pricey, but as a treat it was worth the stop.

Quick service and I would definitely stop by here again if...

Every dessert I have tried has been phenomenal.

There are some with ingredients I may not personally prefer to eat generally, but am thoroughly impressed with the well-balanced execution. Often, I find myself seeing that ingredient in a novel light, and it sometimes inspires me to try a new preparation at home. Most of the desserts win the beloved, "Not too sweet" acclamation as they are often bright with, maybe fruit, or harmoniously paired light flavors and delicate textures. I also love the subtle nuances, as if you're tasting a story he ventured out on and the morsel was a recollection memory.

The signature flavor profile is both comforting and intriguing. You could blindfold me amongst a pile of pastries and I'll immediately know it's Whang's because of the exact uniformity and attention to detail. In searching for inconsistencies, I rarely, if ever, find any in his desserts. Every chef has their taste ratios and his are incredibly creative. They are pastry academy models.

Several of my pictures are seasonal desserts that were offered for a limited time only. They are marked with ✨

Coming here is...

Terrible customer service. They don’t answer the phone. I called every 20 minutes for two hours on 1/11 during their business hours. They returned from their holiday break this day and posted on instagram that they were open. Their website says that if a cakes says it’s out of stock, to call and place an order. I called, but no luck. Their voicemail says that they are unable to answer the phone or messages therefore I did not leave a message and kept calling. The voicemail also says they have a full menu every day. I showed up when they opened at 12pm on 1/12 and was told that the cake that is posted on their website is special order only via phone. The cakes was for my partner’s birthday today - what a bummer. Got cream puffs instead. Delicious, but wouldn’t go again...
