Not sure this place is even open anymore, their website no longer exists, & any time of day we drive by, the place is closed. Since it changed owners, things went downhill, & they closed the kitchen, so couldn't have lunch there anymore. Fortunately there is another bakery not too far away that we go to now.

I was looking for a fresh and delicious cake for my son and they had more than one choice ready to go. We looooved the cake :)I found the place through Yelp and once there I wasn't sure about from the outside, but once inside.... I wanted to eat e-ve-ry-thing!!! I will be back for sure to try their coffee, a breakfast croissant, their ice cream, etc, etc....

My secret addiction! The girls are always incredibly friendly and polite. The cakes are always delicious, the sale item displays are adorable, and the samples are a nice touch. Highly recommend!

So much to choose from! Yummy cupcakes! More of a whipped cream, the cream on the cupcakes, but it's blast! They are so good at the flavored cupcakes omg.

Sara J did you change ownership or chefs? I got a parve chocolate mousse cake today and it tasted totally different from the amazing mousse cakes and parve strawberry shortcakes I had previously ordered. One layer of a tiny bit of mousse (although VERY good) and something was seriously wrong with the cake itself. It tasted like the cake itself (not the frosting) was soaked in water it was extremely dry but also wet (not alcohol but water). The bottom of the cake container also had water in it and I could literally squeeze water or whatever liquid they put in the cake out of it.... not what i was expecting. It seemed like someone confused moist with wet as the cake was incredibly dry but also wet?? I'll definitely come back to give them another shot as I've previously loved every cake I've gotten so I dont believe in hurting them, but it definitely needs to be noted.

Most times i call they dont answer the phone so i go elsewhere. Dont know how they stay in business like that. The owner is losing so much money.

A few months ago they changed owners but kept pretty much everything feeling like it's the same except the fact that he close the kitchen at the beginning at 2 PM which was not good news to lots of people that were used to having a routine and getting things that are used to for years now he completely closed down the kitchen I literally used to go there almost every single day I had a routine and because he's being cheap he close down the kitchen and he's losing business because every time that I was there to get a sandwich I would also pick up more things very disappointed of this place used to be my favorite place now I don't recommend it to nobody this is to the owner you will lose a lot of business this way good luck

Stopped by earlier today while I was getting my car fixed next door. I walked by and almost missed it, were it not for the "bakery" sign i saw. It was a good day to indulge my sweet tooth so I walked in and was immediately greeted by the owner. I was so happy to see they had large, individual, and mini sized pastries, and immediately went for the tiramisu. It was SO RICH, even that would be an understatement. He explained that they use authentic italian mascarpone cheese, and it was more cream and less sponge. With each bite there was a literal tingling on my tongue, it was just too good! He was also very gracious enough to offer me to try their lemon pastry which was also great. Im so happy i stumbled on here by chance, considering I live only 3 minutes from here! This will definitely be my go to bakery from now on and I can't wait to tell my family about their sweets! (The owner is a great conversationalist too!)

The pastries are very pretty. The coffe nor so good. I asked for almond milk latte, the almond milk must have had a lot of sugar. (I'm sensative), the coffe had no flavor, I threw out the entire cup after 2 sips.

Great local spot...I was headed for a chain coffee spot and saw SARA J's sign just ahead. I'm so glad I took the detour. Delicious coffee and freshly made baked goods. They also have a breakfast and lunch menu and make custom cake and tart orders as well. Service is friendly and the large patio is a perfect spot to enjoy your breakfast or lunch. Let's hectic, local fare, tasty treats and some healthy options too. I'll definitely be back

Excellent food and service. Good size portions, and delicious. Decent gluten free options, but those pastries look soooo yummy.
