| - I can only speak to the cakes that I bought. I bought a whole loaf of Banana Bread and Lemon because... I really wanted to eat them.
At $13 each (Taxes included), my wallet cried, but when you see the size of these cakes, it is actually totally worth it. Leah's down the street sells her crappy stale cakes at $7 each and they're a third of the size and not as delicious.
The cake is really, REALLY good, and I should know because I make cakes myself and these cakes hit the mark.
The Lemon one wasn't totally lemony throughout the entire cake (they only glazed the top in lemon and sugar) and the rest is just a basic pound cake, so be forewarned. I actually like this because I don't like super sweet cakes covered in nasty coatings of too much sugar.
The Banana one is very good, but not as good as what I can make at home (obviously), yet it passes the test.
They use real ingredients, no modified crap here, no liquid eggs, and you can taste it in the cake. It does not taste like the crap that comes in those plastic boxes in grocery stores, it is not dry, they are super moist and tasty, not too sweet and fresh. VERY FRESH.
(The last part about being fresh is because I tried a Lemon Poppyseed loaf cake from Leah's and it was dry, stale and totally disgusting with its coating of sugar).
As for the service I think I met the owner and found her a bit brusque but I think she's French.. or at least faking that she's French, and we all know how THEY can be.
I didn't sit there to eat, I just popped in for 2 cakes and popped out, and I avoided their food because their name (pompous as it sounds) says: WORLD CLASS BAKERS .. not WORLD CLASS BISTRO.
Stands to reason you should eat stuff that they bake there. The cookies looked awful and so did the rest of their "pastries" but the cakes were outstanding and the only thing I am rating them on.
I'd definitely come back for the cakes.
CASH ONLY.
