"After living in Leander for a few years, we finally decided to come into this much raved about place. Our intention was to inquire and if possible order a customized cake then eat some goodies. Our whole family came along on a weekday afternoon where there was only about 3 patrons in the store eating at two separate tables. The staff were pleasant and nice but told us that they were not able to accommodate our cake request as they need weeks in advance order and we only had a week. This has not been a problem for us in the past but here we are in Leander so we accept the fact that they are busy since there is not much competition around. Then as we were looking at all the baked goodies, our excitement quickly faded away as we saw flies hovering ALL OVER all the displayed baked goods out in the counter. And all I could think off is where have these flies been prior to landing on those items? This is highly unsanitary and won't even pass inspection standards in many other places. Then the staff were pushing some few days old super dried baked goods. Really?! You shouldn't be even selling those yucky goods anymore or donate them BEFORE they actually become unpleasant to eat. We just wanted to walk away but my little kids insisted on something so we decided on the refrigerated section with hopefully no fly surviving that temperature. My daughter chose one cupcake. By the time I had to pay for this one cupcake, it was $7.00! Are you freaking kidding me? So I decided to take a bite from it and here I am writing this review. I do not know if the overpriced not great tasting cupcake experience was better or worse than the flies swarming all the baked goods?! I won't be returning. There was also nothing that was really healthy gluten free, vegan stuff. I guess it has great reviews to date because the area it serves has pretty low expectations and there is not much competition around."
