Our Story

To all new and loyal patrons, thank you!

For generations, our doors would not have stayed open if it were not for your love and support. From the multi-tiered cake to the one cookie we bake, we put in an equal amount of energy and joy. It brings us pleasure that we can share our passion through our crafts and sweets.

We as a community have faced a lot of up and downs, and we know those downs can be really hard, but know that we take every situation you bring to us seriously and thrive to only put out products of quality and tradition. For many years and the future to come, we will continue to share our love and invite all who would like to join us for drinks and sweets.
We look forward to seeing you!
