Lots of tasty, mouthwatering desserts.These folks actually make these tasty treats for The Rails Cafe at the depot next door. The Tuxedo Cupcake definitely fulfilled my sweet tooth.

Yummm! In the area for work and I have an opportunity to explore. Definitely come by! Pistachio gelato is amazing. Cookies, soft, taste incredible too. Didn’t know but there’s a restaurant next door too and all the cakes this bakery makes are available by slice there. Returning for dinner!

We stopped in to pick up cupcakes for a family birthday today. We got red velvet, chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and were very pleased. The cupcakes were fresh and delicious. We definitely felt we got our money’s worth and will return in the future.

Yummy brownies and cupcakes. They didn’t have ice cream or candies when we went in. I would want to order cakes for future events for here.
