Two Teaspoons — Restaurant in Hamburg

Let me recount the experience I just had at this “bakery” for you:

I walked in and asked the woman at the counter if I could place an order for cookies and/or pastries for an event next weekend. “NEXT weekend?!” she asked. “Yes, next weekend.” (Mind you, this is Saturday and said event is the following Sunday.) “I would only need a quantity of 30 or so,” I said. The woman abruptly walks into the back, comes back out, and says, “We’re booked solid for next weekend.”

I told her that was fine, I’d go elsewhere. And it was fine – small businesses sometimes need to turn people away. I understand that. It’s great that they’re in the position to do so, I suppose.

What is NOT fine is the rude remark I received from behind my back as I turned to leave.

“That’s what you get for waiting until the last minute,” she said.

Now, that in itself would have been enough to turn me off from ever stepping foot in this business again, but the obscene hand gestures the woman then made at me through the window as I was walking away down the street definitely confirmed it for me.

Again: fine to turn away business, NOT fine to treat would-be customers who wanted to give you business with such childish antics and downright rudeness. A simple, “I’m sorry, we’re completely booked,” would have sufficed. Not sure why we couldn’t have just left it at that, but this associate (Employee? Owner? Who knows?) apparently had to have the last word, telling me I was in the wrong for waiting to place an order.

I’d expect any bakery worth its weight to be able to accommodate an order for 2 dozen cookies with more than a week’s notice. I suppose the boutique business model is far different from that of traditional bakeries like Holland American, which have served the community for years and years. Despite standing alongside throngs of people in that bakery this morning, I was met with nothing but the highest degree of kindness, patience, and willingness to help. They’ll be getting my business – wish I had thought to just go there in the...

I waited to post anything because I didnt want to post anything being disappointed. I ordered cupcakes prior to my most recent order and they were bad. The cake portion themselves were good as were the decorations but the frosting was absolutely horrible. The taste was pure butter, I went back to give a second try as I like to do with local businesses, I told the owner of the unpleasant butter flavor, (My words were disgusting becuase the taste was) she expalned that the cake was better eaten at room temp....I said ok and was going to try it. (never heard of that) I then proceeded to order another cake and told her I would be ordering multiple cakes in a short period of time. I also inquired about fondant cakes and the prices were astronomical, especially for an 8 inch cake. A day later the owner told me (emailed me ) that because I complained about her cakes I should go elsewhere, She also said that I should not try to talk her price down... which I didnt. I did however question the ridiculous price she was quoting which is absurd. I have purchased much larger cakes for a great difference in price. I didn't complain prior as a review because I believe in second chances. But after reading some reviews, This behavior seems to be the norm of this bakery, if you do not like the cakes due to taste and tell them they just refuse service. They are also over priced, this is sussex county not NYC. I went to Hollan Bakery where they have NEVER failed and there prices are great. The taste is so much better and the staff is extremely friendly and know their customers by first name. I replied kindly to her email, but as expected no response. They have a poor business model, barley open and over priced. If you want better quality take a drive down the road. You only need a few days...

I cannot gush about two teaspoons enough! When my wedding got suddenly moved up due to the pandemic with only 6 weeks to plan it, I was scrambling to find a bakery. I'm so happy I found two teaspoons. Maria and Brittany are some of the sweetest and most genuine people you will meet. They were incredibly accommodating with out last minute wedding plans and covid restricts. They truly went above and beyond though in so many ways. Their cake designs and desserts are flawless! I'm pretty sure they can decorate a cake as anything. The flavor dynamics they create in their desserts are beyond what I could dream up. Speaking of dreams, I have dreams about how delicious our wedding cake was. They even built us a cake stand since we didn't have one!

My husband and I love their creations so much we order desserts from them whenever we get a chance. We have yet to be disappointed by anything we've gotten from them. They even have the cutest Pinterest/Instagram worthy mini cakes for tasting! Their prices are always reasonable and well worth the money spent. I will always recommend them to friends and even have a friend also using them for their wedding! Choosing two teaspoons isn't the hard choice, the hard choice is choosing which flavor...
