This place is nostalgia at its finest for me and it really hasn’t changed all that much. The cafe/restaurant is gone but there is seating along the wall so you can sit and enjoy a pastry and coffee while watching others make their selections. Every table was clean and ready to be enjoyed. The pastries are beautifully presented in their cases and are very fresh so you are guaranteed great tasting quality. The staff is welcoming and patient while you make your selection. When we didn’t see our first choice in the case, he didn’t hesitate to start a fresh cake so we could enjoy the superb vanilla strawberry cake. I couldn’t resist the hazelnut meringue and black Forest cherry to go so we could enjoy them tomorrow. The coffee was piping hot and smooth with no bitterness. It is great to see an establishment that can withstand the changing times and still be as good as your memories. That is Lutz.

Absolutely stellar. Came here specifically to find sacher torte. Left with just that and a slice of dark chocolate cake. The best sacher torte I've yet to have! The dark chocolate cake was similarly incredible. Dark chocolate ganache coated a light chocolate mousse covering three layers of moist, dark chocolate cake. Unlike most cakes this surprisingly wasn't too sweet--it was perfect. Sacher torte had two layers of apricot jam, a rich chocolate cake base, and a beautiful dark chocolate coat. With multiple cases of single cake slices, whole cakes, cookies, quick breads, and pastries, you're bound to find many treats to love. With COVID the small dining area and restrooms are currently closed. That was a bummer. Quick and friendly service. Very fair prices.

I picked up my order noticed the cheesecake had a pinkish hue to it, asked the guy behind the counter if this was the strawberry cheesecake I had ordered? He answered yes…why? I then explained that I thought it was going to be the typical New York style cheesecake with strawberries on top. He then explained to me that this was not the case…the strawberries were infused into the cheesecake! With EXTRA strawberries on top!! 😲 I was like WOW! Maybe this was a good mistake…he then offered me a different piece to taste….OMG 👅 from now on this is the ONLY way I want my strawberry cheesecake and the only place I’m getting it from!! 👍🏼

Title: A Perfect Birthday Cake for a special occasion

I recently ordered a birthday cake from this bakery for my daughter's special day, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I placed the order to the moment we cut into the cake, the experience was nothing short of fantastic.

First and foremost, the ordering process was seamless and convenient. The bakery staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, taking note of every detail I mentioned about my daughter's preferences. They patiently discussed various design options, flavors, and sizes, ensuring that the cake would be exactly what we envisioned.

On the day of the celebration, when picked up the cake, The attention to detail was extraordinary. The cake was adorned with delicate fondant decorations that perfectly captured the theme we had chosen. It was clear that the bakers put immense effort and artistry into every aspect of its design.

But looks alone don't make a great cake. Fortunately, this one tasted just as amazing as it looked. We opted for a classic vanilla cake with a vanilla filling, and it was a match made in heaven. The cake was incredibly moist and tender, and the vanilla filling added a burst of freshness to every bite. The flavors were well-balanced, and the sweetness was just right—enough to satisfy our sweet tooth without overwhelming the palate.

Not only was the cake delicious, but it also had a light and fluffy texture that made it a pleasure to eat. It was evident that the bakers used high-quality ingredients and executed their craft with precision and expertise.

Beyond the cake itself, I want to express my gratitude for the outstanding customer service we received. The bakery staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect for my daughter's birthday. They were prompt in addressing my inquiries, and they even offered some helpful suggestions to enhance the overall presentation of the cake.

Thanks to their dedication, my daughter's birthday celebration was truly memorable. The cake stole the show, and all our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. It was the centerpiece of the party and brought smiles to everyone's faces.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this bakery for any special occasion, especially for birthday cakes. Their attention to detail, excellent customer service, and mouthwatering flavors will undoubtedly leave you and your loved ones impressed and satisfied. They turned my daughter's birthday into an unforgettable experience, and we are grateful for their incredible talent...

I am actually very disappointed I am even writing this review as I really did enjoy this spot. But I feel I have to save others from disappointment themselves. My daughter submitted an email to Lutz per directed over the phone then gave them a call to pay for and to confirm order. She did everything they asked her to do and was very detailed in her email. On the call, she confirmed everything she wanted on the cake and was set to pick it up the following week. Upon arriving, she was shown her cake and to our disappointed it was missing a few things that we had stated in the email and ALSO spoke about over the phone... She asked to obviously fix what needed to be done and to our surprise, she received the most inappropriate response from a young lady on the floor, basically stating it was her fault.. and that she was trying to "look out for her co-worker as well." Basically blaming my daughter for their mistake on the cake although she kept showing the girl the email of what she asked for, it was clearly right in front of her. The only thing my daughter requested to change was the inside of cake from vanilla to chocolate (SIMPLE). Here we are waiting for the cake decorator/manager to come do what needed to be done... mind you it was my granddaughters bday and we were in a rush but unfortunately had to wait on the cake which delayed our party. The manager comes out with the unfriendliest most annoyed look on her face trying to "resolve the issue". This was the most unpleasant, most unprofessional visit ever! I I paid a lot of money for a cake that came out nothing like how I asked, neither did I receive half my money back or discount or nothing for my time wasted. The service was completely horrible and I wouldn't dare risking ordering another cake from this place. Not only do they not care about your time but they also will blame you for their mistakes and treat you like an annoying human being. This place has gone down hill, and sadly I will not returning or...

Lutz is great to have in the neighborhood, the staff are attentive, and the owner, Howard, has always been friendly and welcoming to me and my friends.

Unfortunately my birthday cake order from last week was less than ideal. The cake was beautifully decorated and tasted delicious, but there were some unfortunate gaps in communication that caused some stress on the day of my party.

I had told the person who took my order that I would pick up the cake at 10 a.m., but when I stopped by last Saturday at noon to pick up my cake, I was told that the decorator had just begun to work on it and it would take about 20 minutes (more like 45). When I said that I had placed the order for a 10 a.m. pick up, I was told that there was no note of that. So, how was I supposed to know when the cake would be ready?

If I were the cake decorator and I received an order slip that did not have a pick up time, I would probably wonder, "By when do I need to have this finished?" There might also be a manager who reviews all the orders and checks to make sure that all pertinent details are listed. It feels like management could be tightened up a bit.

(A lesser offense: I was asked if I wanted trim on the cake. I said yes. When I picked up the cake I was told, "The decorator decided not to do trim because she thought it would ruin the design." I was the one who provided the design and I was the one who ordered the trim, so I'm really very confused about why the decorator would have an opinion on the matter. Perhaps it was that she didn't have time because she knew I was waiting, in which case, I would have rather been told the truth.)

If you order a custom cake, I recommend that you call a couple days before your event to confirm that they have all the details they need to ensure a...
