    The coffee is very good, the service is excellent. Very solid selection of baked goods. Call ahead if you want something substantial.

    Though packed on weekends it's still a quiet work place. Great Ceremony coffee and of course the cupcakes are top notch. Get the mocha 👍

    Nice to have coffee in a real ceramic mug, but it's hard to find a seat inside. I think all these people must live here.

    Skip the traditional cupcakes in favor of the specialty filled ones for really nice, moist treats

    Fat Elvis Cupcake, bacon and Elvis trends collide in an adorable treat that touches all the rich, sweet and savory bases at this Alexandria bakery/cafe.

    Pick up frozen scones and cookie dough to bake your own goodies fresh on demand at home! Also check out the artisan ice creams and popsicles available in the freezer.

    Awesome cupcakes, cookies and tea. If you're in the mood for something savory, the mushroom quiche really hits the spot.

    Don't get the vegan chocolate chip unless you're a vegan. Do get the blueberry lemon scone. Unless you hate life and good things. Then don't get it.

    Parking is a pain, but it's worth it. Love the feel here better than Slaters Ln and the outside patio is to die for.

    I think their best pastries are the fresh muffins in the morning which rotate flavors with the seasons.

    Sometimes if you go right before they're closing, they'll have specials on the cupcakes so that they don't have to throw them out.
