Cretia's Eatery & Bake Shoppe

Decided to try Cretia's for an early dinner on a Wednesday. Service was decent. Ordered the fried green tomatoes and they were not very good. No flavor and disappointing texture. The outside seemed cooked, but I there was something soggy and unappealing about the inside. Like the corn meal wasn't cooked through. That made us change our mind about ordering anything else for dinner. I decided to get a piece of strawberry cake to go. It was VERY good. Moist with the perfect level of sweetness. It was a huge piece, so it was worth the price. The cake got the 4 stars. The food honestly was 1 star. I'll definitely be back to try more of the desserts.

Walked in and was immediately greeted. Walking in to Cretia's is like walking into my grandmothers home which brings happy memories. Although Cretia's has a rounded menu I came for one thing specific - dessert! However when I saw all of my options it was a little overwhelming because I knew I could only have one. I asked the lady about what her favorite was and then made my decision on the rum cake (which she said was good with a cup of coffee). I didn't make it home before digging into it and the moment I opened the container the smell of rum immediately met me. When I cut into the cake it was moist and when I tasted the cake I was like "oh, this has rum rum in it" - after a few bites I was like I should put this away till I get home. I literally sat in my driveway the moment I got home and ate the rest of the cake. I plan on going back and trying the lemon bar and then maybe the cheesecake and maybe I'll even try lunch or brunch, but I'll definitely go back!

One of my friends spotted this place before our aerial yoga class this morning and she decided to stop in. It was really unassuming and I didn't realize there was a bakery/restaurant she no walked by. She ended up getting some cupcakes, but we went back after class because we wanted to see what kind of food they had.Strawberry cupcake: 8/10 Really enjoyed the overall flavor of the cupcake. I could taste the strawberry flavor and the cupcake was not dry at all. I'm not a big fan of frosting overall so I did remove a good majority of it. I did taste it and it was a tad too sweet for me but flavor wise it was good.The Oakcliff: 7/10 this reminded me of an English breakfast since it came with a grilled tomatoes and the mushrooms. The only thing missing honestly was the pork and beans. But overall this dish was ok. I really ordered it because of the jalapeño cheddar toast which is what caught my attention. I wish I would've tasted more of the jalapeño and less of the cheddar flavor, but it was still decent. I'm glad they had strawberry jelly which is a favorite of mine and the potatoes weren't bad either.Chocolate chip cookie: 5/10 now usually you can't go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie but unfortunately, unfortunately, the young lady gave me the incorrect cookie. I asked for the chocolate chip cookie with pecans because it looked more golden and like it would've been more flavorful, but I ended up with this cookie. I guess she didn't hear me which is fine. It tasted like a normal chocolate chip cookie.Lemon bar: 8/10 this lemon bar was really really good. I loved the tartness of the lemon filling. At first I was a little concerned about how much powdered sugar was on top, but it wasn't too much and it was just perfect. The shortbread base is flavorful, and it really compliments the tartness of the lemon filling. Strawberry banana nut bread: 7/10 I was excited when I saw this because I never seen strawberry banana nut bread, so I was definitely intrigued. You really taste the banana and I enjoy that they put the walnuts inside of the bread. I didn't get much strawberry taste, but it was OK. I feel like it could've used maybe some more cinnamon or something to bring out the flavor a little bit more but I know it will be good with some tea or coffee or maybe even some ice creamMy other two friends really enjoyed their meals. The chicken fried chicken was really flavorful my friend commented. The gravy was really good and she enjoyed the flavor even getting some to go. She enjoyed the mashed potatoes as well. I tasted them and to me they tasted boxed and could've used a little bit of butter or some type of seasoning on them. The string beans looked fresh.

Great little cafe style restaurant! Their baked goods are DELICIOUS, and their menu feels homey with big portions. We tried the margarita pizza, and had some beers. Very pleasant evening!

Enjoyed a business lunch meeting here.Service was spectacular. Our server was managing the whole dining room by herself and did so such gracefully -- smiling at every table. She made a hard job look effortlessly easy!Everyone in our party ordered something different and we all agreed that our food was prepared with a lot of fresh ingredients. Not a lot of places can still own that because things are often preheated and the re-heated, etc. It was clear that everything ordered for our table was made to order.I personally ordered the Rustic Nicoise Steak Salad which is described on the menu as 'Mixed Greens with a Poached Egg, Red Potatoes, Haricot Vert, Cherry Tomatoes, Olives, and Avocado paired with a Light Herb Vinaigrette.' Really great make up of a light (and very filling) salad. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly.The restaurant itself had a laid back community feel -- nothing too fancy or uptight.These guys also sell whole cakes in different flavors, shapes, and sizes.Support local small businesses y'all!

They sure do have great cakes and pies. Worth stopping by and trying a piece. I've been going to this place ever since the we're located in Duncanville. Plus they have great customer service.

We tried a slice of the German Chocolate cake, Strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream, and the Swirled Vanilla and Red Velvet. All were light and fluffy with a great frosting. We would also recommend the peanut butter and snickerdoodle cookies. They were both really good as well. Cretia's did have a small food menu that we are going back to try.

I've been coming to Cretia's since 2015. We've come here often from time to time to either stop in for a quick desert or even order Cake's for the family bdays. The ambiance is always relax and chill vibes. Even to this day the vibe there is nice. However, just recently, the cake decorating has gone downhill fast. I was very disappointed with the quality of the decore which they chose to do our cakes with. Their cake prices went up, which is fine, we understand the economy being what it is and all. However, they shouldn't increase in price only to decrease in quality. I would have normally addressed this when we were there, but we were very pressed with time.Bottom line, if I'm in the neighborhood and want a quick desert from them, I'll still go. As far as ordering a cake for our occasions, I think we're going to try and find another bakery closer to us. The price increase and quality just don't add up for us anymore.

This is one of my favorite places to get sweets and good food. The service here is amazing all of the employees care about making you happy. This place gives me a homey vibe and I love to eat here

My mother suffered a serious fall at this establishment, resulting in significant facial injuries, a broken nose, and the necessity for an urgent hospital visit. She now requires surgery on her knees due to the incident. Disappointingly, the establishment has refused to provide the necessary insurance information for her to obtain the treatment she urgently needs. At 77 years old, my mother has been a loyal customer for many years, even patronizing their previous location in Duncanville, Texas. I am truly disheartened by their lack of concern and dismissive attitude regarding my mother's healthcare needs.
