This has got to be the MOST unreliable and inconsistent businesses I’ve ever had the displeasure of trying to do business with . Firstly the hours are all over the place. I’ve attempted to visit several times during their new COVID hours only to grind the lights off and nobody there . I was really interested in ordering on of the beautiful cakes they have on their website. To my surprise I stopped on a Sunday and the store was open . I purchased two items and went on to order a birthday cake for the following weekend. I even offered to prepaid and or pay a deposit. I was told no need which was a red flag I did tell him what time I would be around to pick the cake up . I called several times without anyone answering. I drive to the store during the time of the NEW hours , only to find I dark and empty yet again!!! I called again not response or answer . I even looked at the sign that had a different number and called that only to find it was disconnected. I ended up using my back up plan which was to go to Simms’s where they have some cakes you can purchase on the spot . So much for trying to do business with a small minority run establishment. Never once do I receive a call to say hey I am sorry I had an emergency or something. I’ve noticed several positive reviews which I find it hard to believe. I would really like to know what times they were at the bakery, because I went during the first hour they where supposed to be open and only one time out of seven visits it was open . I feel badly because I know small business was hit hard during the pandemic. If you happen to be in the neighborhood and they are open (which I seriously doubt). By all means stop in , but if you live access town l wouldn’t waste time ,...
Read moreI saw someone post in a Facebook group about how good the banana pudding was, so I thought I would try it out. I went to the website but it still needs a little work so I thought I would call Saturday morning to see what they had to offer. The gentleman who answered the phone was very friendly, patient and eager to let me know what was available. I asked about two deserts that were not available at the time but he let me know when they would be. I told him I would be there that afternoon. I walked into the cozy little shop right on the corner of 80th and Lincoln and was warmly greeted by a man of distinction standing behind the counter. I immediately knew what I wanted but the gentleman made sure to let me know that he was there to answer any questions that I might have had. I picked out a generous portion of banana pudding as well as a strawberry shortcake cup, each $5 per cup, and can easily feed two people. The banana pudding had a strong banana taste, absolutely delicious. The cookies maintained their crispness. The strawberry shortcake was also amazing. It was not too sweet, just perfect for me. I shared some of my dessert with my sister who went out the same day to get some banana pudding, and then the next day for the peach cobbler that...
Read moreFirst and foremost, I would like to say that this place has the "BEST" Banana Creme Pie in the city! Unfortunately, the inconsistency of store hours is a big issue. I live 40 min away, so I do call the store before going up there, but it seems to be in vain as there is no recording or message service set up. Having an outgoing message would be fantastic if you plan on closing outside of your posted hours which is a cheap and effective way to save people wasted trips. I have driven up to this location (again the pie is worth the drive) on numerous occasions (after first calling and googling his shop) only to find the door closed with a sign. Even as I write this, his store has posted hours that say open, but he has a note on his door that says he will be closed for the next two days. I noticed on one of the other posts that he lists his hours on Facebook, which is great for some, but not for those who don’t use Facebook like myself. Out of five attempts to patron this business only two have worked out. If you're in the area it is worth a visit, otherwise don't bother he's...
