Customer Testimonials

Thank you for a great experience. I ordered a desert platter from you and it was delivered as promised the next day. I’m in California and recipient is in Brooklyn, NY. You guys delivered and I am told product was great, pretty and a hit.

Mitch W. - Los Angeles, CA

I want to say thank you so much. The gentleman who took my call was very helpful, the tray was beautiful and delicious, and the family was very grateful during this difficult time. Thanks so much.

Sue V. - Cleveland, OH

I want to share with your team how much the recipient enjoyed the bakery items she received. She even mentioned that she hasn't been eating much due to grief, and that the cookies were so good that they helped her start to feel the tiniest bit better.
