    Typically Cake Bake does an outstanding job with cakes, however this evening, for a special occasion dining, the cake was dry and crumbly much like a cake that is 4 days old. I shared this information with the server and she said that she would have the manager look into it. Not worth the $20 dollars paid for 1 piece of cake.

    Our experience at The Cake Bake Shop was nothing short of fantastic. Don’t let the name fool you, the cake is not the only amazing thing on the menu. Our table had the chicken piccata, ham and Brie sandwich, pick two with the chicken salad croissant and chicken gumbo, and the quiche. All of us had clean plates at the end of our meal, something that rarely happens. The portions were just right, and the meal was complemented well with the lavender lemonade, raspberry champagne cake, and Earl’s cake. Highly recommend this location, had a great experience.

    Always a great experience to have when family is in town. Food and drinks were solid. Service was a little slow and less attentive than usual.

    We took my out-of-state mom to celebrate her birthday. I accidentally made the reservation for 4 instead of 5 people. It was a very busy day at the restaurant and was reservations only. We were told they couldn’t accommodate 5 of us. We were ready to leave when my sister decided to ask to speak with a manager. He was very helpful and we found a table that could accommodate all of us. This made my mom’s day and we had a great lunch! Food and service was great and the decor was beautiful!
