I love a good bakery, who doesn't, I went here for the first time and enjoyed my purchases. Everything tasted delicious. A shout out for the scones, I love a good scone and am often disappointed, not so here, the scones were divine! So good!

I shouldn't have walked into this bakery; I almost wanted to buy everything! They have an excellent selection of treats, and the girls at the front desk were so friendly! I will have to begrudgingly return to this establishment with a wagon and a bank draft to buy out the stock. Delicious!!

Ok so, their donuts are fantastic! I had the privilege to enter their establishment to see a full donut counter a rarity and whiteness these delicious delights in their full glory, so many wonderful combinations. Their donuts are literally jam packed, stuffed full of custard and drenched in glaze, the list goes on.! Forewarned they are not the cheapest donuts, they shouldnt be cheap like I said they are quality soft, chewy, sweet and delectable quality !

AMAZING! so far I have tried; marble rye bread, lemon tarts, *apple crumble pie*, glazed donuts, fritters, and a few other single pieces. They have all been extremely fresh, delicious, wholesome and definitely home made. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
