Some reviews mention that there is no seating. The place is described as very delicious with beautiful cakes and the gelato highlighted as especially tasty. One order for a baby shower cake based on a catalog differed from the design received, though the flavor was good and the cake was fresh, and price did not meet those expectations. Other comments mention a wide range of individual pastries, always fresh and clean, and that the cakes are of excellent quality, but some items feel a bit expensive. Ashta ice cream was noted to have a slight freezer taste. The chocolate cake is described as tasting like heaven. Overall, reviews converge on strong praise for taste and service with occasional caveats about seating and value.View restaurant profile
