Ordered two cakes from Mel and some Gluten Free bites for my fiancee's birthday party. Perhaps I'm cake ignorant and only used to grocery store cakes, but when I sent Mel the designs, I was just expecting an edible printout for the top. Mel, however, went above and beyond and made the whole cake themed. People loved the cakes (not too sweet, but not unsweet) and were fighting over the gluten free bites. We had her party at Top Golf and every employee was stopping by asking where we got the cakes from.

We tried this beautiful place after moving our daughter out of her dorm at Iowa State. The atmosphere was great with high ceilings, an open air vibe and lovely natural lighting. The breeze coming through the large windows was so nice as we enjoyed our meal. We came for lunch and got sandwiches and salads. Bonus for us- gluten free bread options! Our waiter was especially helpful and charming with the style of an artist. I wish I had tried a coffee as it smelled amazing, but I will definitely be returning for that next time.

I Always place order to pick up. Always so friendly and efficient!! Food is always so very good!! I have celiac disease and can't have any wheat or dairy. I order everything omelet with no cheese and double order of hash browns instead of pancakes, etc. I am highly sensitive and don't have a problem with that at all. Everyone is always so friendly. Food is always ready when I get there and it tastes wonderful!! Thank you!!
