Decided to give them a try because my favorite, Sweet Surrender, was closed. Ordered a german chocolate cake and eight sugar cookies with frosting on the side. Both tasted great and everyone enjoyed! But the overall service was terrible, which is the main reason why I will not be returning. Most of what I ordered didn't translate to the order form, which I felt like I was blamed for. Baker calls the day of at 1pm to confirm that I ordered a chocolate cake, as listed on the order form. I clarified that I ordered a german chocolate cake with walnuts around the rim, which by the way ended up having chocolate frosting around the rim. Staff calls the day of at 4:30pm and asks when I'd be arriving, as they'd be closing early (they often have notes on their door indicating that they are closing early for random reasons). I explained that I was running a little behind (life and traffic) but would arrive by 5pm. When I arrived, cookies were not bagged and tied. Staff member immediately looks at the order form and says with an attitude, "She didn't put that on the order form and she didn't charge you for it either." A different staff member comes up and agrees that she can bag and tie the cookies. Initial staff member proceeds to tell me with an attitude, "That'll be two dollars." (25 cents for each bag) Two dollars people! I would've paid twenty dollars more for an accurate order. Lastly, as I'm leaving, the other staff member brings me my items and says with an attitude, "Goodbye." I think I was an inconvenience for them closing early on a Friday evening. Overall, it appeared that they have inexperienced staff who didn't have the most customer friendly attitude.

Went to Tastries Bakery a few days ago and let me tell you every time I'm there it's OUTSTANDING!!! I spend more money than I should but there is always that one extra thing that catches my eye. The quality of their baked goods is consistently excellent (especially the pudding!!!), the designs are beautiful, and everything tastes as good as it looks. You can tell that genuine care and craftsmanship go into what they do. This is the kind of place you go to when it actually matters, birthdays, weddings, special occasions, and they always deliver. What really stands out to me is how much noise there is online from people who clearly aren’t local customers and have never even set foot in the bakery. Most of the negative reviews are driven by outside agendas rather than real experiences with the business. That’s unfortunate, because it completely misrepresents what Tastries is actually like day to day. As someone who has been there, worked with them, and eaten their desserts, I can say with confidence that Tastries is a professional, welcoming, and talented local business that deserves support. Don’t let internet drama distract you. Judge them the old-fashioned way, by the quality of their work. You won’t be disappointed.

I've been coming to Tastries Bakery for years now for all my special occasions. I LOVE their cookies! The store is adorable, it is so neat and organized. The staff is so welcoming and helpful. I appreciate they accept phone orders. You can email them photos of what you want and speak to someone and be confident you will get what you want.
