Death by chocolate about killed me, it was so good and rich. GOT MILK ? Red velvet is great also. Their blackberry ice cream was creamy and flavorful! It all looks great! Love the new location !

I felt my life slowly fading away with every bite of the Death by Chocolate . Sure it's good, but honestly it's too much. I'd recommend the mint cake . But still nice vibe, quality cakes , & good coffee .

Kelly

Ok, I’m not a fan of the buttercream - it’s like putting a stick of butter in your mouth (referring to both texture and taste). The cake is good and the pie is amazing.

Miss Jimenez

Had the Blackberry Diva cake . It was really good and not too sweet. I visited on a Sunday and it did take a while to get helped. But other than that it was good. Will visit again.

Hillary Folsom

Love the new location ! You can't go wrong with any of the pies . Death by chocolate is truly death by chocolate . And they're open late for those late night cravings.

Bekah Kornblum

Most of the cakes , though beautiful, are too rich for just one person to eat a slice. They had canolis and other desserts too that looked delectable.

With '50s diner decor, I wasn't expecting upscale , delicious desserts ...but they made it work!

Meliza Alva

This was the first place I went to when I moved to the neighborhood . Everything is so delicious! This could be dangerous.

David

new location is awesome but the serving sizes have become smaller with the move and quality seems a little down as well ...

Gluten free options may be available, but bakery items are made in a facility that produces gluten and cross contamination is highly likely.

Jon Terry

So many desserts , so little time. The line was super long, but moved really quickly
