Donika's Home Baked Goods

A new Albanian bakery, open ~10 days. The selection is broad in scope ... mostly a mix of American, Greek and Italian, but the selection is a bit limited. Donika promises that there will be more items in the case very soon.The cornbread is a bit sweet and made from a fine ground cornmeal. It was very good, but I prefer a bit of a coarser grind.The cheese turnover/pastry was consumed at room temperature. I wish I had warmed.The tomato & onion turnover/pastry was delightful. The dough was very flakey, almost philo-like.Will I return? Yes.

It offers a variety of products, reminding me my grandma's old recipes. All the sweets and pies are fresh while you are sitting there for a coffee, they can bake anything for you in a minutes.

I REALLY wanted to leave a positive review, but unfortunately I can't. I contacted Donika to make a cake to feed 20 people. I asked for a vanilla cake with colorful flowers and I needed it somewhat urgently (in 3 days). She was able to make a VERY BEAUTIFUL cake. Absolutely stunning! The cake itself tasted great, unfortunately the frosting was horrible, particularly the white frosting. All attendees at the birthday party agreed that the white frosting tasted sour, as though the milk used to make the frosting was expired. The majority of the cake was not edible. I contacted Donika after the party and advised her of the issue and asking for some sort of rectification. I received no response. I contacted her again the next day and received no response. It is now two days later and I've received nothing. Because of this I am leaving only 3 stars. This saddens me as she was very responsive to my request for a cake on an urgent basis, her location is close to my house and the cake looked beautiful. Unfortunately, the frosting was horrible.

Bought a couple of chocolate chips cookies and brownies for the kids. Prices were very good and the kids loved the treats. Happy that this place is 5 minutes from my house.

Tried the Spinach Pie. Was AMAZING! Finished with rice pudding. Will definitely be back
