"Cake is just one of the offerings this bakery has, but it’s one done well. This scratch bakery has been around since 1981 and it’s hard to beat the simple, elegant cakes here. Takeout cakes can be preordered online." - Courtney E. Smith
"A beloved bakery and bistro from owner Murph Willcott that, after a devastating fire to its Heritage neighborhood building, pivoted to operate as a food truck in its garden serving breakfast and lunch sandwiches, pastries, and cakes while the owner works to rebuild; lunch preorders are available online or in person and outdoor dining is offered." - Eater Staff
"While we wait for the bakery-restaurant building to be rebuilt, I’m grateful I could walk to the restaurant’s trailer: it’s a pretty space, especially with cooler weather. I ordered the nicoise sandwich, where the tuna is mixed with a tangy lemon vinaigrette and served on focaccia, paired with chips and an actually spicy salsa; I also had the raspberry croissant and remembered how lovely raspberry pastries can be — it was a perfect lunchtime meal." - Nadia Chaudhury
