This bakery has a variety of different pastries and baked goods, including several types of cakes. We went in Tuesday, 9/9, looking for a half chocolate, half lemon doberge cake for our niece for a family gathering Thursday afternoon. She lives in the middle east and was visiting with a couple of her kids and really has missed that type of cake, which originated in New Orleans and isn't always easy to find. They had one there but the woman suggested of course that we order one for Thursday, which we did. It was absolutely delicious, obviously quite fresh, and we all agreed that it was the best one we had ever had ( and over the years we've had plenty), with both flavors equally delicious. The cake and the pudding fillings were equally good, and very well made and presented. My niece was excited and apparently sampled some several times over the next 24 hrs, and by the next day it was gone. I can HIGHLY recommend it!
The woman waiting on us was quite friendly and accommodating. We had multiple questions about some of their offerings, which she was happy to answer, and she was patient and not pushy. They were limited in pies available that day, but she commented that they tend to have more in store later in the fall and one can always order one.
ALSO, you can also order their large patty shells, which we have had in the past and always enjoyed them.
They also serve a healthy lunch, or one can have coffee or tea and eat a pastry right in the...

Whoa, just whoa! I am absolutely blown away by the place as a whole! This place should be called Coffee, Confections, and Christ! It has got all three.
Confections - I ordered two macarons. Chocolate ❤️ and anise. I loved the chocolate one. I ordered the anis one knowing I don’t like that flavor, but I’ll keep trying anise flavored things until I like it. They did the cookie well, I am just not a fan of anis flavoring. I tried the cannoli 🙌 this place actually makes a good cannoli! I haven’t had a cannoli I have actually liked. Their cannoli is amazing.
Coffee - I ordered a cappuccino with no flavoring. The cappuccino was very rich and almost had a hint of chocolate flavors. This shop uses coast roast. Coast Roast is a local coffee and tea company originating out of Long Beach Mississippi. Coast Roast has provided quality coffee across the gulf coast.
Christ - this bakery also doubles as a gift shop. You can take home pre boxed confections or qualify trinkets. I wanted to buy just about everything the offered. Great place of gifts especially if you are looked for a Christian themed gift.
Comfort - I don’t think I got a picture of it, but there were plenty of places to sit. A round table surrounded by single sofa seats and an assortment of tables and chairs. The bathroom also gets an A+. Clean bathroom and...
Read moreUmeko was AMAZING! I called two minutes after you opened to secure a 1/2 lemon 1/2 chocolate doberge cake for my daughters boyfriends mom for Mother’s Day. We live in Florida so I was so thankful that I could call and pay for the cake and have my daughters boyfriend pick it up later today. Umeko was so precious—polite, respectful, and efficient— honestly she gave amazing service over the phone. I have not encountered customer service like that ever in Florida! Major kudos and a big pat on the back being sent to Umeko. None of my requests ever seemed like a problem. Can you write Happy Mother’s Day on the cake? Sure! Can you write Happy Mother’s Day Mrs. Nancy , Love Addie Grace on the cake box? Sure! And she even made sure she spelled Nancy correctly—double checking with me. She made sure she knew who was picking up the cake and that she got his phone number. She also made sure to let me know my receipt was being texted to me before I had a chance to ask about it. Just superb service. She even told me to have a great day and Mother’s Day. Please make sure she knows how grateful I am for her help this morning. She made the whole experience easy and super pleasant! And just as I’m about to send this, I get a call from her triple checking the name spelling to make sure she had it right! That’s true...
