“Please NEVER stop making your tres leches cake. Oh my gosh it was love at first bite. I am not a sweets person usually but I would be in heaven if I could eat that cake every week. Hands down the BEST tres leches cake I have ever had and now my favorite cake of all time.”
— Kayla Running★★★★★
“I was not able to go to A Baker's Wife's Pastry Shop in person, but my professor bought our entire class a big box donuts from there. Let's just say going there in person is now on my bucket list. I took three of the donuts over the course of the day: double chocolate, sugar, and... cinnamon sugar? Unfortunately, I can't really speak on the atmosphere or service of this place, but I'm assuming it was all just as good as the donuts themselves. Holy cow, those donuts were crazy good! They were so soft, airy, and just the right kind of moist. I took so many donuts because I wanted to squirrel them away and eat one for every meal of my day today, but they stayed super soft throughout the whole day! Let me put you all onto something. Dunk their sugar donut into black coffee as you eat it. You won't regret it.”
— Cameron Watson★★★★★
