Cafe Monte

"Went for dinner and we ordered the French onion soup, kale salad, duck confit, and beef bourg. The main entrees were fantastic! The duck confit is cooked to perfection as it is tender and moist! The beef bourg is also amazing. Also tender and moist. Both dishes were full of flavor. Great portion size! Great atmosphere and fantastic service!"

Villani's Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (442) • $$

"Sampled a variety of sweets and baked goods from Villani's twice in the past year or so. The croissants have been my favorite and they are huge!! The butter and almond are both yummy and very easy to heat up leftover at home in the oven wrapped in foil. Their sweets and macarons have been completely hit & miss but I wouldn't not give them another chance."

"Very cute shop in Baxter with delicious choices of desserts. We ordered three cupcakes for the kids and they loved them. They are pretty big and sweet so they ate about half, then took the rest home for later. The shop owner was there and she was friendly and helpful. There are places to eat inside. Cozy, cute ambiance."

The Salty Donut

★★★★☆ 4.3 (221) • $$

"First timer here and boy oh boy did I enjoy my donuts and hot chocolate! The shop was clean and staff greeted me as I walked in. They had a great selection of donuts available in which I bought the milk & cookies and honey butter cinnabun donuts. Both were delicious! My hot chocolate was definitely hot and chocolate-y lol. It was perfect being that it was snowing outside. This was my first time patronizing this business and I'm impressed. I will definitely go back for more!"

Sumaq Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.4 (155) • $$

"Sumaq is a little gem in an unexpected area of south Blvd. South American style food and desserts and an array of amazing coffee and tea drinks. Loved the outdoor patio with great chairs and heaters and spaces to sit and enjoy the food and chat. They also have ample parking which was nice . Inside is equally nice with the significant tree in the center. There is a meaning behind this I'm sure as I've seen it at other South American coffee shops too. Great open space with people WFH and others just enjoying their coffee . The service was standard and quick . All the sandwiches and wraps are made to order. We tried the wallpa quad, which is chicken, egg, lettuce, tomato and special house mayo . Wrapped in a thin wrap. Very tasty and filling! Loved the combination and the spices from the sauce. Also tried the cappuccino which was a lovely cup of strong coffee and pretty . We also had a mocha chino which was nice and creamy and nice cocoa flavor. Our sweet treats were the lemon tart which came on this fabulous crumbly shortbread with lovely lemon curd type cream on top with some whipped cream . This was just delicious and not over sweet. The Alfajores was also amazing. Shortbread that just melts in your mouth with a nice layer of dulce de leche in the middle and powdered sugar on top. Yum. The savory and the sweet were all really good and you can tell made in house. All their other sweet baked good looked awesome. So I definitely wanna go back to try that tres leche! Loved this lovely well run place. You can never love too many coffee shops !"

Cupcake Delirium

"This here is a review of the bakery itself, not the truck. Actually I'm not even sure if the truck is still a thing, but it would be cool to see it somewhere if so.Coming in is confusing at first. They're actually a part of the strip mall - at the very end. It's a cute set up. Very colorful and inviting. Parking is a pain. I recommend backing in. Inside they have a tall display case with about 8 different flavor concoctions. Seems like they change up most of these every day. They probably also have a daily limit where they shut down once sold out. They sell "day old" cupcakes on another shelf. I came in on Valentine's Day and they were going nonstop.I ordered a box of four which comes to $10. If the guy running the register didn't suggest it, I wouldn't have even known. (Even though there's a sign or it.) You can also buy just one for $3. So getting four is quite a deal. If I heard correctly, when you bring your box back in they'll give you a cupcake in exchange for it. I think that's awesome that they see the value in not wasting. Also, what a way to get people to come back in?I got a blueberry french toast cupcake with bacon on top. It was amazing. The bacon was just enough salt to pair up nicely with the sweet frosting. The filling of a sort of baked blueberry reduction was unexpected and scrumptious. I also got a banana pudding, red velvet and "death by chocolate" for my girlfriend. They were actually out of those but were making more in the back at that exact moment. They hooked me up. They put the cupcakes in plastic cups turned upside down. It's ingenious really. Clearly I'll be back!"

Lula Banh Mi And Bakery

"Love this place! Best bahn mi I've ever had. I also like the pate chaud. The matcha milk tea with boba is also one of my favorites. I've tried the food hall in the shopping center for the same items and never again. Won't be cheating on Lula. Every single time I've ordered from here it never disappoints."

The Bakery Shoppe

★★★★★ 4.6 (119) • $$

"Delicious coffee and pastries! Got a whole box of goodies for my customers that are in the area (and a coffee and piece of red velvet cake for myself). They has so many options! Everything looked amazing. The cookies are huge! Kind of wish I had gotten a cookie. The cake was good and there is a LOT of icing-- so if that's your thing --this is your place! Will definitely be back even if it's just for a donut and coffee!"

"What a great find isn't Ballantyne area! Nice cafe with a good variety of pastries, sandwiches and drinks to choose from. The service was nice, quick and helpful. You get in line, make your selection, choose your seat and wait for your name to be called. I chose a nice hot lemon ginger tea, a vanilla and almond madeleines. They were so flavorful! It was hard to choose from the different options available. They also had madeleine variety boxes with different quantities that looked like a good present idea!It's a very chill and relaxing place when you can hangout with a friend, a place to get your reading updated or get some work done. So many options to explore and enjoy this cafe!I'm definitely coming back!"

"Looking for a sugar rush? This is the place! We don't go often but when we do it's amazing! Try putting 6 large, soft, cinnamon rolls of heaven then topping it off with the warm sweet cream you would get on a cinnamon roll. Then you select 4 toppings. You will see by the photos they look wonderful and they make a great birthday cake. The only surprise was the price. Wow! I wish I had the receipt but I walked out of there $80 less than when I came in Enjoy - it is truly amazing."

"I was craving a pastry and decided to visit this local spot. I decided to get the blueberry muffin and cream cheese Danish. The muffin was delicious, but I there were hardly any blueberries in it. The cheese danish was AMAZING!! While a little pricey, the pastries were very tasty. Definitely worth a visit."

Cinnaholic

★★★★★ 4.5 (70) • $

"This a gem located in Belmont. I didn't know about this place until I was on Yelp. I saw the pictures and was YES! I am on my way. My daughter, brother, sis-in-law, and myself arrived here one Saturday night. There was plenty of parking as it's located in a shopping center. The young lady working there was friendly and not annoyed by all the questions we had. There were about 4-5 tables in the restaurant. I ordered two cinnamon rolls. My daughter had the Smores and I had (I think it's called) the Turtle Dove. I bought these this past summer (2023) and I am just now realizing these are VEGAN. I have never eaten anything VEGAN, or so I thought. I always thought Vegan options were nasty, but this place has proven me wrong. It might be the only vegan option I choose again lol."

Still cooked but soft and so good! The service was great! She greeted us and we were able to put our order In on the screen and get our cookies! The store itself is small but cute and pink! Pink is my favorite color! Over all I loved the cookies this week !"

Poppyseeds Bagels

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (120) • $$

"So it's been 3 years since I came back. The prices were mainly the reasons I decided it wasn't worth it. Today's visit was to have something different and this happened to be in our view. Bagels with cream cheese for me and bagel with eggs for the hubs. Today there aren't any add ons so I don't know if that part of this place has improved. I remember my last visit (3 years ago) the place charged me for lettuce and cheese on my sandwich and I felt a bit financially robbed. Basic sandwich ingredients shouldn't be an up charge. That opinion for me will never change. Today's visit was easy. The bagels were delicious and that's fantastic! So I'll let ya know if we stop by again to try a sandwich. . For now we'll stick to the main thing . Bagels ."

Cosmic Cookie Bakery

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (80) • $

"Okay so I seem to have become addicted to this place. There are a few inconsistencies I need to point out though. First is that like other Yelpers have noticed this bakery has three different names. The name above the front door, the name on the receipts and the name on the emails. They need to pick a single name and stick with it.The second inconsistentcy is that you don't have any idea what's available from day to day and if it's moist or dry. You might think that I'm only talking about the cake being dry, but oddly I've also experienced frostings that are dry as well. So it's really hit or miss when you visit.. I've sampled almost everything they have and I think that I'll stick with what's been proven to be good.The carrot cake and the Hershey chocolate cake were excellent. My friend also enjoyed his cupcakes."

Smallcakes Ballantyne

★★★★★ 4.6 (41)

"I needed some cake. Cake is one of my weaknesses. Smallcakes makes the most moist and delicious cupcakes around. These will fall apart as you try to eat them, but you'll be savoring every crumb. The cakes are perfectly flavored and baked and the frostings are sweet, smooth, and serve as the perfect compliment to their cake pairing. The staff is friendly and fast. They get orders out the door here. You can dine right inside or take your Smallcakes on the go. Pricy but the quality is so worth the cost. Go grab some today. You will not be disappointed."

French Market Cafe & Gourmet Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (54)

"Overly priced Costco food more than likely warmed in a confection oven. The bread for tea sandwiches was dry. The owner /manager camped out in one of the booths and conducted business the entire time. Good tea selection. Decor was quaint but a bit crowded. Service was good, and that's why I gave 3 stars. However, they automatically add a 20% gratuity -I'm only accustomed to this for large parties not for 2 people. Let me be the judge of what you deserve for a tip."

Multiple daily options in her shop to pick up. Preordered cakes, truely showcase Abigail's artistic side as well as her baking skills. Check out her social media for pictures. My absolute favorite is the peanut butter frosted cupcake. The chocolate cake is so moist and the PB frosting is amazing!!! You can take out your sweet treats or sit and eat them in the shop. She does have coffee & water available. A definite must stop while in town!!"

Crumbl - Indian Land

★★★★☆ 3.8 (55)

"The limited edition/specialty cookies were really good. The chocolate chip cookie was amazing due to the size and cake like taste. The Oreo like cookie was good because it was cake like and warmed, but I had to scrape a lot of the cream cheese tasting icing off. The red velvet Willie Wonka inspired cookie was good as it was more of 2 cookies with cream in between. The last cookie was ok, but cold. I didn't bother trying it and let my daughter have at it. The service was fast, and the location was clean."

"I had the Tandoori Roti and Chicken Tikka Masala. This Tikka was different than most others I've had in that it had large chunks of bell peppers and onions and it was a mix of breast and thigh meat. The sauce was tasty. I had mixed feelings about the veg chunks. The Roti was good. This place is easy to miss as it sits on the front side of a strip where most businesses have their entrance on the other side."
