KATHY'S PIES & BAKERY REVIEWS

These are hands down the best baked goods I've ever tasted. I had their blueberry Bob Tart. Tasted like pure happiness! Their triple chocolate cupcake was absolutely amazing! If you're looking for a sweet treat or an exceptional cake or pie, come here. You won't regret it.

I ordered cupcakes and cookies for our son and his fiancés engagement party. They were delicious and absolutely beautiful! Everyone loved them. Kathy’s Pies was great to work with, matching colors and helping with design ideas for the cookies.

We ordered birthday cakes for our kiddos from Kathy’s Pies this year. We just had our son’s party yesterday and the cake was DELICIOUS! It was moist and the frosting was amazing. We’ll absolutely be getting our cakes from here from now on!

GREAT HARVEST BREAD CO. CEDAR RAPIDS REVIEWS

Stopped in hoping to find a treat and found a GOLD MINE by accident! Family owned and operated, family recipes, intentional, wholesome ingredients, and incredible products that would speak for themselves but you would be missing out on meeting the wonderful people that make this place what it is. I've passed by many times mistaking it for an industrial baker for larger markets, but I can't wait to come back for any of my bread needs in the future!

We love going here for the special tea times she hosts. In this case I invited several women in my family as a celebration for mother's day. We had a delightful time and the food and tea were outstanding. I will definitely go back for these afternoon teas. Also, I pick up a loaf of their delicious bread anytime I'm on that side of town.

My wife and I had lunch here for the first time. Very helpful friendly service. Very good lunch. And we picked up a six pack of ginger cookies. My wife had the tuna salad on sourdough and loved both the bread and the tuna salad. I had the BLT and the bacon was plentiful and crisp. Will be back.

SHAWNNIECAKES REVIEWS

Shout out to LeShawn at Shawnniecakes! We had a commitment from a national chain coffee shop to provide specialty coffee drinks for a work event I was putting together. In the days leading up to the event, I was totally ghosted - at both the local and corporate level. Shawnniecakes came through for us at crunch time and we couldn’t be happier with the product and the customer service! Next time this will be my go-to gal! Support local small businesses! They put their heart and soul into what they do!

Philly steaks are the BEST! The meat was juicy and flavorful. They were generously sized. Wings were fall off the bone good and delicious. Sweet potato fries were also delicious and came with marshmallow dipping sauce. Friendly service and went out of her way to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Highly recommend Shawniecakes!!!

She was excellent, and was kind enough to let me pickup early. Absolutely perfect for my daughter’s birthday party! Smelled delicious, looked delicious, and tasted delicious! My daughter squealed when she saw them, they fit her vision perfectly. I highly recommend!
