Did Gluten Free okay. Server was nice but not having the best day. Asked the hostess if we could have a table instead of a booth. She said yes, then sat us at a booth and took off before we could say something. We had an elderly person with us who struggles getting in and out of a booth. Needed a chair... But we managed. Server dropped silverware that knocked the lemon off my iced tea glass. And people just left it on the floor... Employees were all just stepping over it. I was afraid someone would slip on the lemon so I ended up taking care of it. Not sure we will be back. Food was okay nothing special but the prices are above average.

Can make most things GF and have separate fryer and kitchen space

January 2025: visited this gem of a coffee shop twice while in town. Cappuccino and a cortado, and a decaf cap over the course of the two visits. The foam on the cap was perfection. Excellent gluten-free options as well; donuts, muffins, and a bagel sandwich, high quality on the gluten-free options.

I cannot recommend Cream of the Cakes enough. The amount of pros I have to list is extensive, but worth the read for anyone scrolling reviews as they debate trying out this bakery. - Excellent, top-notch quality: I'm consistently blown away by the taste and art of these scratch-made baked goods. Things I used to dislike, I fell in love with when made by Cream of the Cakes (French Silk pie; cheesecake; etc.) Just incredible. The cakes are as the best cakes should be: moist, flavourful, rich in taste and beautiful to boot. I have not found any bakery in the Twin Cities or beyond that can compare to the level of quality and flavour that this little Lakeville one achieves. - Good variety regardless of space challenges: While the bakery's space is quite small, there is still a more that sufficient variety of things available to try. There are many different cupcakes all named after women that inspired the owner/founder/head baker Liz, which is fun and interesting. There is FANTASTIC quiche in multiple flavours. There are "cake parfaits" (delicious), chocolate-dipped pretzel sticks, the best cake pops known to man, cookie wedges, cinnamon rolls, cheesecakes, whole cakes for those who forgot to plan ahead, and even "pupcakes" --- safe, adorable treats for your dog. There's a lot more... Try them all! - Seasonal offerings: You'll never be let down coming to Cream of the Cakes frequently if you like/need to try new things frequently, or are hoping for something available that's relevant to the current holiday. There's always something creative and different available. - Good prices and a variety of them too. Yes, ordering a custom cake can get expensive, but the quality of what you get is more than worth the price. Additionally, the prices of things available otherwise is more than reasonable even outside of today's inflation climate. The discounted $1.25 day-olds is a nice touch as well. - Gluten free availability: For those who cannot consume gluten, you'll find a generous variety of genuinely tasty options at this bakery. - Personable service: No matter how busy it gets, everyone here is friendly and generally lovely. My only cons: - I long for Cream of the Cakes to be able to expand their selection even more. I would so much rather support them over the big grocery stores when it comes to loaves of bread, bagels, donuts, and muffins, which they do not have (muffins on a rare occasion, but not usually). - Related: space. It gets crowded quickly in such a small space. It's homey, and generally not too much of an issue as a customer, but ideally they should expand once it's possible! Overall: 10/10 bakery. Seriously. Check them out. Try things you maybe wouldn't normally try, because Cream of the Cakes is the cream of the crop when it comes to bakeries.

The food was fantastic. They had a great twist on regular items. Like truffle powder on French fries. Yum yum. Prices were fair and they had a lot of options for vegan and gluten free.
