We went here for dessert after visiting Irv's for dinner. It's a little pricey but there is plenty of choice, one looking more delicious than the other.

Even for it being close to closing a steady flow of peops kept on coming.the atmosphere is casual and feels like a modern home/living room. I can imagine lots of folks hanging out on the patio during the warmer weather.

We will probable come back, for some more goodness!

Can’t recommend this place more. Amazing, delicious and huge varieties to choose from. From having custom birthday cakes made to just stopping for coffee and a treat we always walk out so satisfied. The fudge bombs, muffins, and cakes are the best! I also love the gluten free options and they taste amazing as well.

My fiancé and I went to your store today and purchased two of your Black Forest cupcakes and we both got home and ate a little bit of it. Both of us felt extremely sick to our stomachs. It almost tasted like it sat there all day and it was super dry as well. I didn’t appreciate this at all. Never coming back again.

Knowing people who have/do work there, I would NEVER order anything from there ever again. Cake is a mix, brownies are a just add water mix, anything lemon filled is a just add water mix, muffins are a mix. Plus so much comes in frozen. Macaroons, tiramisu, croissants, lemon bars. All come in pre baked and frozen. Sticky buns are frozen cinnamon rolls. All their fillings are canned. The caramel and raspberry in their cheesecake comes from a squeeze bottle (think Smuckers ice cream topping style). It’s ridiculous how they claim everything is “baked fresh”. Yeah okay.

Get bakery. I was a little overwhelmed going in there's so much to choose from. The staff was very friendly and it's a really cute shop. It's an upscale bakery so it's a bit pricey, but hey that's Hershey for you:)

I absolutely love the place! They have different desserts every time I go and the selections are endless. The low sugar and gluten free desserts are a good choice for people with that preference. But out of all the Tiramisu is the best! OMG! They have a huge piece that’ll last you 2-3 days and it’s the best, you won’t regret! Compared to any other place the price is better for the quantity they offer!

Just a quick stop across the street and, bless them they have cream puffs! I love cream puffs but they are incredibly hard to find anywhere. The selections are fantastic but if you want a piece of pie you have to get it at the restaurant. No biggie. If you are in the area this is a winning combination. Recommended

I love coming here! I go here regularly to try different desert options and come for coffee/lattes. Only reason why it’s not 5 stars is because it’s not always consistently fresh, I’ve had cookies and cheesecake after 8 pm (they close at 9) and both at different visits have tasted like they been sitting there for a while and stale. Other than that, they’re delicious throughout the day. Another thing is it’s been both a hit and miss when it comes to ordering cakes, sometimes they’re delicious and moist but other times they’re been very dry the cake. I still order because I know most of the times the cakes are moist and delicious. The service staff is always so friendly and attentive. Love the environment too, cute and laidback, a bit small but it’s perfect for a desert shop.

Wonderful three layer chocolate and Oreo birthday cake, worthy of my Aunt Sadie’s 104th
Birthday celebration! The frosting was perfect— not too sweet. The apple pie was wonderful too!

A lovely & charming dessert shop with a ton of creative & fun options to choose from! Staff is friendly & the prices are good. I like to go here and choose a few of their treats/cupcakes vs.getting one big cake elsewhere for an event. They also sell a vendor's puppy friendly treats which is awesome.

Very disappointed, I ordered a cake at the beginning of the week and I thought everything was fine. The next day I received a voicemail saying I needed to answer some questions, unfortunately I could not return the call right away due to work. I called back in and explained the situation and was directed to reach out via email to solve this problem.did so and no one responded to me.the day I was due to pick up the cake I received a second voicemail which was less than polite saying my cake was not going to be made until the call was returned.an hour before I was due to pick up! I called back and Ginger was absolutely incredible and made sure that my cake was ready to go when I was scheduled to pick it up! If I could give the end result 5 stars I would, I ended up with a great cake, but the lead up was disappointing.

I liked this place. First time I went (years ago) I never went back because everything was SUGAR. It tasted awful! I figured if I wanted what tasted like pre packaged gunk, I can get it at a grocery store. I went back recently this year, enjoyed the coffee and the dessert I ordered. Staff was friendly, everything was clean. Couches were comfortable. I would go back.

After cake tasting for my wedding 6 months ago, I would’ve given them 5 stars, but dealing with them on my wedding day was the only negative part of my entire day. I emailed to confirm payment and delivery with them 5 days prior to my wedding. They said it was taken care of and since they had a card on file, I believed them. 1 hour before my ceremony they left a voicemail saying that my invoice wasn’t paid and they don’t usually deliver the cupcakes with a balance. They did deliver them but the manager was rude and communication was poor. Great desserts if you want to just stop by their bakery but I don’t recommend using them for a wedding.

Older Woman employee was extremely rude. Kept saying is that it! With out letting me talk. Almost like she didn’t want our business. She didn’t look at us at all. It wasn’t even full in there. Once we were done my husband tried to ask her where to put the plates but she had customers and was ignoring us until he set them down on the table across from the register, then she talked and noticed him miraculously and told him bring them here!
We have been going to this place for a long time and this was unacceptable!

Best bakery in town! I love going here for cupcakes, celebration cakes, and assorted desserts. My mom specifically loves the “bomb” desserts such as the opera fudge bomb. They also have decorated sugar cookies for purchase sometimes too! The quiche is fantastic.

Surprised to find the iced sugar cookie I picked up was made with brown butter. Wasn’t expecting a nutty taste but was delighted. Ate it all. It was a big cookie. 10/10 as a lover of cookies.

They have a lot of desserts displayed in their case. They also have specials each day of the week displayed on a board. I tried their Peach dessert (forget the name) and got a free ice cream with it as the Wednesday special. Both were nothing special and lacked flavor and were just average. Could not finish them. Even the coffee which I had was very average. Disappointed with the food. Service wise average. The staff answered my questions but were looking rushed.
The place though is small and cozy with limited seating. They also have some patio seating. Has its own parking in the back.

The desserts were nothing special. Actually, I felt it was overpriced for what it was. I took a bite out of the whoopie pie and threw it out. My son got a cookie monster cupcake, he ate some of the frosting and left the cake part. He never leaves cake behind. I tasted it and left it behind too. Maybe it just wasn't fresh?

Love, love, LOVE this place! The desserts are always gorgeous and typically very good, and the drinks are fantastic. Their lattes and/or nitro cold brew are a must any time I stop by. The cafe employees are always very friendly, and I love that Desserts, Etc.regularly donates to help feed those in need! Cannot recommend this contemporary little cafe enough if you're in the area.

Excellent dessert selections and coffee. They're vegan dessert selection is all but nonexistent. I'm very disappointed after all these years in business that they can't have a few good vegan choices.
