The Baking Flamingos

The Baking Flamingos flocked into my sweets loving heart when my boyfriend's mom was telling him about this new gem not too far from where we live! At first I wasn't sure where we were going until we were parked right in front of it. I especially love that the beautiful Flamingo is on the spotlight here! I LOVE flamingoes and delicious sweets so both of these combined had me over the moon to try their creations! We decided on a couple of cupcakes and cookies. I happily chose something out of my norm and went with the vanilla coffee while my boyfriend had the Okie Dougkie. Both were yummy and unique for my cupcake palette. The cookies were a great size and also had a little twist from cookies I've had from other bakeries. I especially enjoy their browned butter chocolate chip cookie and my boyfriend loves their Foo Foo Fetti cookies!I have since gone back a few other times and have been happy with everything I've tried so far!! I forgot to mention, their lemon bars are wonderful! There's a great amount of short break crust with a great ratio of sweet and lemony deliciousness. Each time I've visited and along with my boyfriend we were always greeted by their staff right away. They are friendly and helpful. The last time I stopped in I happened to look at their merchandise area and settled on a crocheted chicken hot pad as a gift for my sister's birthday! They have a bunch of unique gift items that are perfect to pick up when grabbing some of their sweets and breakfast items. The only thing I wish is that they open earlier on Saturdays. Other than that, I look forward to going back and trying more of their breakfast items and gift shopping for future birthdays and Christmas! If you're a sweet lover like me I highly suggest flocking on over to the Baking Flamingos to check them out!

My wife and I stopped here last weekend to get some baked goods. I've been seeing pictures from the bakery on our local neighborhood group and had to stop in. It's a small little shop Southwest of 168th and Harrison. The shop is locally owned, so you can feel good buying stuff here and supporting local entrepreneurs rather than big business.Once you enter, to the left, there's a small section of merchandise from a variety of artists. However, the main course is to the right, no pun intended. The shop features a rotating supply of baked goods. There's always cookies, brownies, small pies, and cheesecakes. Based on when I was there, there were graduation items. And there's also delicious looking focaccia, decorated in a variety of designs.The prices were fairly reasonable for a shop of this type. I think my brownie was $3 and the cupcake was similar as well. Everything looked delicious, so be cautious bringing children in with you, lest you be spending a lot of money! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area, and especially if you live nearby. #SupportLocal

Yum YUM YUUUUMMM.I was very impressed with the items we got here!! A friend lives right across the road from this place and never knew it was there until I told her about it. I will be a customer anytime I am in the area! Thank you for the delicious pastry's

I don't typically write reviews, but these cupcakes were SO GOOD. We ordered three dozen for a birthday party and had a slight mix-up on the pick-up date and when I arrived I was a day early. Because of the timing of our party, Kurt went above and beyond and had all 36 cupcakes ready for me within 2.5 hours, instead of making me wait until the next day. He even offered to deliver. Excellent service and excellent quality. Thank you!

Great stuff! The cakes and cupcakes are delicious but we recently tried the breakfast sandwiches and quiche and those suckers are dangerous! It's a little out of our way, which is probably a good thing for our waistlines!
