Mark's Bake Shop is tucked away in a small plaza on Richmond Rd. We have seen this shop in a few blogs with good reviews and I had to see for myself.
It's super cute when walking in, it was packed with tons of different baked goods. If you want to stay and have your dessert there, they have a few tables in the middle to sit. They have pies, cookies, cakes, cannolis, coffee, breads. There is just so much to choose from. We looked around and settled on some minis that were in one of the cases. It didn't have a tag and we thought they were cheesecake and didn't find out until after she put them in the box. We asked like three times. We also got a cookie, a Nutella pretzel cookie. The baked goods are reasonably priced.
The minis we got were strawberry shortcake, carrot cake, Carmel chocolate, chocolate with pecan, red velvet, 7layer, marble with cannoli and cannolis.
I will start with the Nutella pretzel cookie. It was messy, super hard to eat and I thought I was gonna crack my tooth. I wouldn't get this again.
The cannolis were still crunchy. the cream tasted like it was ricotta mixed with butter cream. They were good but different.
I enjoyed the carrot cake. It was moist and tasty.
Shortcake was the same.
Chocolate cakes were a little dry and sweet, same with the 7 layer.
Red velvet was little sweet.
The marble was good same with the cannoli cream.
Overall, MBS is a good alternative to your usual shop. There was some hits and misses here but I would def give it another shot.
Parking in lot, also street parking (355)
