GOLDENROD PASTRIES REVIEWS

Goldenrod Pastries is an absolute gem! The macaroons are perfectly balanced — crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. The muffin tops are incredible and honestly dangerous because you’ll want more than one. Their cakes are beautifully made, fresh, rich, and full of flavor without being overly sweet. You can really tell they put care and quality into everything they bake. Highly recommend stopping in if you love fresh pastries and desserts made right.

We worked with Goldenrod for our wedding reception desserts and had an incredible experience. We ordered macarons in a variety of flavors and chose three different flavors for our wedding cake. The cake itself took our breath away. It was beautifully detailed and absolutely stunning. Many of our guests who “don’t like cake” ended up going back for multiple slices. We especially appreciate the bakery's commitment to accommodating allergens in creative and delicious ways. Outside of wedding needs, we also frequent Goldenrod for pastries and other cakes. We highly recommend this bakery.

As a vegan with life-threatening allergies to dairy and eggs, eating the wrong thing can lead to a hospital visit. Whenever I leave a note asking for clarification on whether an item is fully vegan, the staff actually reads it and ensures my order is safe. That is top-tier service. I appreciate a business that listens and takes these concerns seriously; I visit with full trust knowing I’m in good hands.

LE QUARTIER BAKERY & CAFÉ REVIEWS

Spinach and artichoke grilled cheese A-MAZING! The cinnamon roll had the nicest flavor profile. A sweet dough with a frosting that compliments it very well! Yummy! The price of the cinnamon roll was great too! Under $4! Yumm. Avacado toast was pretty but it was rock solid. Way over toasted. Only complaint would be if they overcook the toast throw it out and get a new piece. It shouldn’t be brick hard because that ruins it and the Avacado does not soften it up.

Shout out to Sam the Lincoln Edgewood location - He added very special touch to labeling our pistachio and tiramisu flavored coffees today (Gus-tachio & Tira-gus-su).

We absolutely love Le Quartier! (Particularly in the Fall and Winter) We buy their bread and pizza crusts weekly for our family, and we bring their delicious treats to many of our special events. I work for a non-profit that builds relationships with refugees, and our international friends are always delighted by Le Quartier's croissants, pastries, and soups. It's one of the few breakfast and lunch places in Lincoln that offers such a diverse, high-quality, freshly prepared menu. Plus, the service is always outstanding! The owner often walks around greeting guests. We highly recommend it.

BUTTERFLY BAKERY REVIEWS

Butterfly bakery exceeded my expectations! They were so helpful everytime I called, even when our venue messed up Butterfly Bakery was quick to update my order! Not only was customer service amazing but the cookies were addicting, they were easy to work with a budget and even helped load up my order into the car! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Absolutely perfect! I was told the lemon Blaze cake was beloved by 12 toddlers and their teachers. They ate it all before I got a bite ????. I asked my son what was his favorite part of the day and he said, “My blaze cake! It was too yummy".

The real deal for Sweet bakery treats in Lincoln. Easy to access bakery. Cases were filled with the most inviting Sweet treats. Texas pecan bar can't be missed! Great to grab something to nibble on in the shop, or pack a box of unique treats to bring home. I feel like some shops are just basically thawing out commercially produced Cisco wholesale. This place has a real deal kitchen and it smells of vanilla and sugar when you walk in. Heavenly.
