Stopped in for some dessert. Such a cute place, very large interior and colourful. So many decadent cakes to choose from, tried their deadly chocolate mousse paired with a hot chocolate. Both were amazing, will try one of their cheesecakes next time!

Ordered takeout. I was expecting a delicious moist cake to enjoy at home and omgosh the SMC cake was not very good. The chocolate layers was on the dry side. The thick slab of chocolate to coat the sides of the cake just doesn't compensate for the overall taste. Strawberry cheese cake the Graham base was imperfect lacked a moist firm base, being crumbly on the dry side. The lemon cheesecake overall was good. The interior is lacking a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

Just a 5-minute walk from Nuburger, but here’s the catch… this shop is cash-only! 💸 For someone visiting from abroad with zero cash on hand, it was definitely inconvenient. I almost walked away, but the staff was super kind and told me I could order through Uber Eats instead—problem solved! 🙌 I ordered the strawberry cheesecake, and wow—the portion was huge! 🍰🍓 The strawberries were fresh and sweet, and although the cheesecake softened a bit on the outside, it was loaded with rich, dense cream cheese. So satisfying!

WOW!!!! Just WOW!!! if you are looking for a cake that will drop your jaw then you are in the right place. They are so well done and so beautiful to look at.So many artistic flavor combinations. Beth, the owner, prefers the almond torte. The staff favorite is the carrot cake. The funfetti is so pretty and half sold. The pavlova is a bold move—so gorgeous and rare to even even find this at a restaurant. I’ve tried to make these. ANY trace of yolk and the whites will not stiffen. Even slicing this is a special skill. The strawberry chocolate is blowing my mind. So lovely. Layers of cake and mousse. Can’t wait to dig in.

First time there and the place was a nice surprise. The cakes were good but not exceptional. Our party ordered 6 different cakes and our experience was 50-50. Three of the cakes were either dry or waaay too much icing. The service was a bit chaotic, we were told to sit and order at the table but took 15 minutes to get our order. The cakes did not come all at once and had to wait a good 5 minutes for the rest of the cakes to arrive. Drinks were good.
