Bella's Shoppe

We are on an adventure to go to as many boba tea places or bakeries as possible! This was on the way running errands and decided to check it out. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building and they had a cute sign out front. They are located on a somewhat busy street, so this could make or break some of their business. Ambiance: Inside was huge! This would be a great place to meet with a small group as they have different areas inside to sit and converse. It wasn't very busy when we were there but it was around 1 on a Tuesday. They have a bakery, ice cream counter and boba. They had a bakery case that looked really tasty, so we decided to get 3 items to share. - Lemon macaron - perfection and had a gooey chewiness. We could eat a ton of these. - Eclair - I don't think I've ever had an eclair and now I am questioning why! It was chilled and the perfect amount of filling to outside pastry. The chocolate falls off when you bite it, so eat over a napkin to not lose any pieces. - Chocolate croissant or pastry. I think it was Nutella and it was incredible! Flakey, gooey and everything you'd want it to be. I'm sure you could warm it up and it would elevate it further. Yum! We both got a fruit tea and it was a lot. Sadly, I wouldn't get again as it was too sweet and my boba tasted like ramen noodles. (It actually made me hungry for ramen). My teen got the strawberry milk tea and even said it was sickly sweet and she needed the ice to sit. Overall, I didn't love the boba... but I would recommend the pastry! They also had some decadent looking muffins and cake slices. If in the neighborhood, stop in! I think they should make a Macaron ice cream sandwich! The woman that helped us was so sweet and patient while we took forever to decide what we wanted.

The baked goods here were tasty! I visited here on a Monday and it was super quiet, fast service, and the two individuals behind the counter were super kind! I do wish some of the signage were better for the baked goods. I got the Apple pastry, raspberry custard, and a fruit custard. The custard of the fruit custard was so delicious but the crust of it was way too hard to eat, so i just ate the custard. The pastries were good -- just crunchy and soft enough. The ambiance of the shop was alright, the artwork was a bit different than typical bakeries but i didn't spend much time checking it out. Additionally on Mondays they have an awesome buy one get one 1/2 off which is a great deal! The prices seemed fair to average for baked goods and the quality was better than grocery stores.

I stopped in to this new neighborhood Bakery on a Thursday Afternoon to pick up some treats to bring home. Was greeted very nice & served promptly. I will try their drinks next time.What I Ordered:*Chocolate Cheesecake - 10/10....This was absolutely DEVINE! Do not pass this up! Very rich with 3 layers but pairs great with Coffee. Hard fudge like top, Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse type middle with I believe Oreo cookie base. *Chocolate Croissant & Strawberry/Cream Cheese Croissant - 8/10...Great Flavor & tasted very fresh. *Eclair - 8/10....Typical Eclair Flavor. Wish it was a little biggerLarge interior with plenty of seating. Come support your neighborhood bakery & check it out.

Stopped in on a whim, and was more than pleasantly surprised with the very friendly customer service, amazingly delicious strawberry, custard pastry, and iced chai tea latte!! Definitely check this place out!

Today in between doing chores around the apartment I found myself needing to get out of it for awhile. I've driven past this bakery a few times and decided today was going to be the day I finally went. Coffee shop vibes filled the the ambient music playing low key in the background and the walls covered with artwork of local artists for sale. There was many types of offerings of sweets. From beautiful layered cakes, cheesecakes, tres leches, pastries, muffins, cookies and French macarons. They also had an array of coffees, teas, including bubble tea and fresh smoothies. Sebastian joes ice cream is also available. I'm a sucker for French macarons, the good ones! Unfortunately most macarons places have become so commercialized that the volume of business they do they usually have to resort to freezing them. Thankfully this wasn't the case with this place and they were about 3 bites worth, actually felt like you ate something. The exterior had a slight crunch with a semi chewy layer then the smooth decadent filling. They were beautiful as they were delicious. I find myself weak in the knees for almond paste anything. Got the almond pastry, light and sweet on the tongue. Enjoyed some cold press to cleanse my palate in between bites (they steep the coffee for 24 hours, in my opinion the amount every cold press should steep for) I spoke to the owner, who was also the baker and cashier that day. Found out they have been open for about a year now. Shared some of our lives stories and passion around baking. Quite the story and quite the place, they have my vote and I will be back tomorrow to get a decent amount of macarons to bring to the office on Monday, so if your planning on going tomorrow get there early before I buy them all up!

What a cute little bakery! Bella's Shoppe is a fun and inviting little bakery and coffee shop. I tried their mocha tres leches cake. Yum!!! They also have ice cream from a local ice cream place. The environment is great to gather with friends or sit quietly and study. The employees are friendly and energetic. I also enjoyed the artwork on the walls. It appears that it is from local artists and is for sale. I look forward to going back for another treat!

Great products and staff. The young lady who waited on us this morning was wonderful. Even at the end of her shift the tables were clean and chairs in place. She even came back in when she forgot to take down a sign. Very happy young lady. We will definitely be back. The only downside is that the walls need to be repainted because of some art work that was there before. But well worth it to support a little local business.

I had came recently a couple months back and always buy bread, I came recently and it's not the same at all, it had been a disappointment. The bakery had lots it's touch, it's definitely not the worst but it's not as great as it used to be and it's not my to-go place anymore

It's very gross and dissatisfying to find a cat hair in my bread. never coming back here again, it's such a shame because the bread looked really good and appetizing .
