I like that you can come to this bakery and get what you need without having to preorder. Their cupcakes are delicious, the employees are kind and patient. Another great thing is that the front of the whole store is glass so you can see...into the kitchen area and I noticed that it was very clean.More

Person unpacking the frozen desserts knew nothing, we were looking for quiche, she did not know what that was. I do not think they bake anything.

Best donuts ever! I get the big cinnamon roll with French cream icing...so good. Cake icing is food too. Must try the oatmeal cream cookies.

My Mother bought my birthday cakes here when I was a little girl, I have always loved this bakery and the cakes and the icing are so unique. I will favor Fancy pastry forever, a birthday cake is not a birthday cake unless it comes...from Fancy Pastry. Superb.More

the pastries are always delicious! I ordered 2 dozen doughnut holes along with a couple of other items. The person waiting on me gave me the box of other pastries and said ok now i'll go get your 2 dozen holes. When I arrived at...home I only had 18 holes. The prices have gone up which is understandable but when you are shorted your order it becomes too highMore

Quite simply, the Fancy Pastry Shop is a superior cake, pies, cookie and donut stop. This was my first visit. I asked: what are your top sellers? Three people in line said the apple fritters and cream don't. I bought one of each and the...we're awesome. I also bought a cherry pie to take home and surprise my wife. It too was delightful. I wholeheartedly recommend this shop for sweet treats!More

In 2005 I bought my wedding cake here and it was amazing. I had not gone back in years. I went there with my family and was beyond disappointed. The place was filthy. I looked around for a health department rating and it was no...where to be found. I am beyond disappointed. The display cases had built up grime and were not attractive at all. Underneath the display cases looked like a dirty mop was dragged across them. All I seen was teenagers in there working. Someone needs to step up you can see that this has happened over time. I didn’t just catch them on a bad day. The owners need to step up, hire someone to manage this business or simply sell their secret recipe to someone who wants to build a business. To run it in the ground is a shame.More

I wanted to have special treats for us and for grand children. I was buying 4 of everything chosen. My Apple Fritter not fully cooked in center, doughy. My white chocolate cookies broken , 2 cream filled cookies missing. Have not tried other items. Order...going well until 2nd young girl started helping. Maybe bad time of day. Will try a new bakery next. Give them some time before going back. Did not set items out on tray. I should have ask for items to be boxed and not dropped in bag..More

We all got together for my Sister's birthday. They all liked the cake, especially the kids. It has been a long time since we had a cake from Fancy Pastry. The last one wasn't good.

When I was little, I can remember going to the Fancy Pastry bakery with my Mom at their old location. The sweet smell when you walk in was always something I looked forward to. My mom always bought me a cupcake and cheese straws. Fancy...Pastry has moved to a larger building but when I walk in, I am still hit with that same smell and they still sell my favorite cheese straws. Its more than a bakery, its a special memory. I now take my kids in to enjoy the sweet treats!!!More
