Gosh I'm so sad that I slept on this place for so long before I finally ordered a birthday cake for my husband from this spot! And wowow did it DELIVER. The taste was great, the cake was moist, and the whole thing was so delicious -- 10/10 would absolutely recommend for your cake needs! Outside of the cake, I knew I needed to go back and try more of the pastries so back I went~ I grabbed the pesto and sundried tomato savory poptart, the everything bagel galette, the chocolate raspberry cupcake, and the mixed berry cheesecake. Also got my friends the marionberry poptart, cream puff, sweet potato and chickpea savory tart, and the coffee pecan scone. First off the savories were so delicious and the perfect little start to the morning when you're not feeling sugar. I loved the galette but the pesto poptart definitely held its own as well! Now to the sweets dear god, that cupcake was so moist I don't even know what to say -- and mind you I hate the word moist but I have to give credit where it's due. The cupcake was absolutely delicious and the cheesecake was a stunner too. My friends did weigh in on the goods I got them and stated they were all great.Next time, I'll remember to grab a couple macarons to try out as well~ All in all, prices are incredibly fair for what you get; service is super kind and they were really understanding about splitting my orders into different boxes. The interior is cozy and cute and there is some space to sit if you'd like to enjoy your treats before dashing away. Street parking in this particular area is usually not too bad. I would absolutely recommend this spot if you are in the area!

The food is almost almost always good for this bakery. I am a senior citizen. I have a big note on my front door, asking people to knock after delivering.I didn't get that so I figured that I didn't get my order and two hours later when I went out to get my mail there was a bag at the bottom of my stairs that I can't get to so I didn't have a good experience this time. I'll include a picture if I can get it to upload just can't handle those stairs anymore.

Last Friday I stopped in to visit Farina. Upon entering I realized I had tried their macarons previously at Elephant's Delicatessen. Their shop feels like it's mostly a working bakery and I didn't see any interior seating area (although it looks like they own the adjacent building also so maybe there is seating and I didn't see it because I was so distracted by the pastries). Cupcakes are my nemesis so I had to get some. I don't love their buttercream (seemed butter heavy and flavor light) and their cake was very light and spongy but lacking depth of flavor for me. Overall they weren't my favorite cupcakes (but @hungryhero has my heart there). That being said, their orange cranberry cupcake was a stand out! The orange flavored buttercream was light and delightfully orange flavored. The inside of the cupcake and delicious, tart cranberry that offset the orange cream fantastically. It was original for a cupcake and definitely a standout. Their macarons were quite good. They were a nice size and achieved the marshmallowy goodness that is expected with authentic flavors coming through. Especially good were the pistachio and apple cider. The raspberry was good, as was the chocolate but did not beat out our favorites at @laprovence. The woman who took our order was not unfriendly but did not particularly engage with us. Overall I would stop in for their original macaron flavors in the future.

Stopped by here on a whim as I was passing by and suddenly had a craving for a sweet treat. The chocolate cake was good but the cupcake I had was amazing. I will definitely be coming back. However, I wouldn't say anything special stands out from the many other bakeries in town.

I ordered a cake for my father's birthday. It was ready on time, looked beautiful, and was well packaged. Even after a 2 hour drive to Newport, a day in the fridge, and a 2 hour drive to Seaside, followed by two more days in the fridge (plans kept changing), the cake was still great, and the packaging held up.Also picked up a marionberry pop tart as an impulse buy; glad I did. It was amazing. Service was friendly and the website was easy to navigate for online ordering.

Small cupcakes....$5. Cake is decent, filling is good, frosting is greasy. The frosting tastes like straight Crisco, no flavor. We tried the peach and strawberry lemonade cupcakes.Chocolate chip cookies are delicious!

Love that they always have a vegan cake by the slice and vegan cookie option. Their seasonal flavors are always delicious. The cake and icing is on the sweeter side, perfect for celebrations or when you have a sweet tooth. The new space is cute and has some seating, but I love taking a slice of cake home so that the frosting can soften a bit. Highly recommend!

5 stars for some of the best macaroons I have ever tried. They could sell these in Paris, they are that good. 2 stars for the almond cake with white frosting. Flavor was good, but dry cake is a turn off. Service was friendly and prompt.

I got the sundried tomato poptart, the earl gray shortbread cookie, and a piece of the strawberry cake. The poptart was divine. It had a luxurious buttery crust of house made puff pastry topped with a salty everything bagel seasoning and stuffed with a delightful sundried tomato pesto flavored cream cheese. The shortbread cookie was a bit on the dryer side, as most shortbread are. I personally like more of a buttery moist cakey like shortbread but this one was definitely more crispy when you break it. (I asked the store employee her take on the cookie before I got it and she was pretty honest so I should've listened to her) Sadly, the cake didn't meet the cut either. Instead of slicing them fresh, they have them presliced/prepackaged with Best Buy dates on them. I imagine it's expensive to make cakes and not the easiest thing to sell so it makes sense. However, I wished it tasted more fresh. I'm sure their cupcakes were good though, I could see potential in the cake if it was sliced to order. If it wasn't for the poptart and the nice person at the counter, I'd prolly give this place a 3 star.

Best macarons I've had in this continent (so far). Jalapeño biscuit is also delicious. The bakery ambience is super cute! It's a nice, quiet place to read or meet a friend.
