We happened to be on Eastern and when looking at the map, we saw Freed's. I had seen Vegas Cakes and thought it would be fun to actually go and try some goodies.
It was 2:00 on Tuesday afternoon and the lot had one car in it save for the Freed's delivery cars. But they were open.
The shelves were full of colorful and beautiful baked goods and a rotating showcase of cakes. Yelp had a check in special where you get 4 free cookies if you spend $6. With this assortment, that was easy.
We settled on a slice of red velvet cake, a slice of Snickers cheesecake, and Oreo cupcake, and a chocolate chip log. The cookies we chose were the M&M butter cookie, the chocolate cake cookie, the sea salt caramel chocolate cake cookie, and the chocolate caramel pecan cake cookie. *we actually got 6 free cookies as they had some samples available as well.
The red velvet was rich and soft. I wasn't a fan of the cake crumb coat on the outside as it made kind of a sandpaper texture blended in. The Snickers cheesecake was very rich but tasty. The chocolate ganache on top was perfectly smooth and lingered on my tongue. My son loved his Oreo cupcake; the chocolate cake was perfectly moist. My husband enjoyed the chocolate chip log; kind of a fancier and larger version of a chocolate croissant. The cake cookies reminded me of a Hostess cupcake with caramel oozing out of it. The butter cookies were flaky and yet soft, including the ones we tried as samples which were however old. Overall we would try it again. The cake cookies themselves are something worth returning for!
