Some of my in-laws picked up a very large order from this bakery to bring to a family reunion we had in the Martin area. The order consisted of a box of cookies and two boxes of cupcakes.
I didn't accompany them to pick up the goodies so I can't speak to atmosphere or service, but I didn't hear any complaints from any of the family other than a touch of confusion around pick-up time, so that's good.
I didn't try the cupcakes so they may have been excellent. I will say there was an impressive variety and they appeared beautifully decorated.
I'm more of a cookie person, so that's what I had. There wound up being an overabundance of desserts at the function, so I got to sample all the flavors of cookies after having two there and taking two home to eat the next day. These are fairly small cookies, a little smaller than the palm of my hand, so it's easy to get a good sampling.
My favorites were the peanut butter and the snickerdoodle. The snickerdoodle in particular had that pleasant chewiness that cream of tartar imparts in a good snickerdoodle.
The oatmeal raisin cookie was just alright.
I didn't like the chocolate chip cookie. To me, it tasted like the ratio of brown sugar was off -- it didn't have that pleasant, almost caramely taste most chocolate chip cookies have.
All of the cookies had, to some extent, a problem with...let's say crumbliness. I like both chewy cookies and crispy/crunchy cookies, but I don't like cookies that fall apart as you eat them, and these definitely did. The peanut butter held up the best out of all of them, which is one reason why I think it's one of the better ones.
Overall, this is a solid enough option for sweets and treats. They can certainly accommodate very large orders, which we appreciated for...
Read moreI've supported this place and those who run it for years now, so hopefully you can imagine my heartbreak when it became clear this bakery is anti LGBT. I simply can't support a Christian business who would use our God as a blasphemous excuse to judge and reject innocent others, the very thing that Jesus condemned. If we are to believe you refuse service to LGBT+ individuals on the basis that you deem it a sin, are you also refusing to serve gamblers, adulterers, liars or those of another religion?
By refusing to serve minorities , you do nothing but turn them away from God and make the world a darker place, shutting out those who may need your light. Abandonment is NOT the way to serve others. ("love the sinner hate the sin" has never and will never help anyone, it just makes you feel good about yourself.) Jesus himself dined and loved sinners and minorities of all kinds, with not a single exception. So isn't it simply abhorrent to claim we know better who to cast judgment upon? I'm incredibly disappointed and will not be involving myself with this bakery again.

Read moreCute little place across from the courthouse. Very artsy and creative on the inside. They have multiple themed rooms great for parties and events (bridal room, flower shop room, kid table, and the community table). They have a guest book. Please sign it and state where you're from. Their macarons are perfection - airy and crunchy. The peanut butter cookies are made with M&M's yummy. I'm a vegetarian and when I learned about the veggie soup, I thought I wanted to try it. The only thing is when it came out, it had meat in it 🤨 - not so veggie. They made me a grilled cheese instead and filled plate with grapes and veggies with a side of ranch dipping sauce. Next time I'm going to ask for two kinds of cheese! The bread they make in house and it's spongey, gooey and so fresh. It was so good I wanted to buy a loaf. It's one of the best breads...
