"A longtime Avenue of Fashion bakery famous for its gooey butter cake — a noteworthy stop for sweet, Southern-influenced baked goods along Livernois Avenue." - Serena Maria Daniels
"This welcoming, pretty-in-pink bakery and cafe on Livernois is an oasis for delectable cakes, like its strawberry crunch cake made with three thick layers of spongy strawberry and vanilla cake, moist banana pudding cupcakes, colorful cereal and milk bars, as well as a select number of savory dishes like breakfast sandwiches. The shop is also available for nationwide delivery via Goldbelly, and, in 2023, launched a second location in the so-called District Detroit entertainment zone surrounding the stadiums downtown for all those office workers who might need a sweet pick-me-up during the work week. Online ordering is available. Vibe Check: The downtown location, at 22 W. Columbia, is low-key a legit casual breakfast option for downtown officer workers, where diners can grab a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwich that is best paired with one of the shop’s gooey, fluffy cinnamon rolls." - Serena Maria Daniels
