Once In A Blue Moon Bakery & Cafe

Once in a bluemoon has been a favorite for me and my family for many years as they cater to vegetarian and vegan requests. And their cakes are very well made. In April I had a vegan cake made that was just fantastic. This review is for a cake I bought yesterday that I had not pre ordered. I requested for a 6 inch cake what they had available, preferably vegan. Turned out the only one they had was a 6 inch and it looked great. We bought that in the afternoon, promptly refrigerated it and cut the cake late evening. Turns out it didn't seem fresh and felt stale. The icing was separated from the cake. So I wasbt able to offer that to the guests. I was surprised as the store is known for their quality products. And called them following morning. They clarified that the cake we bought was Gluten free and it is normal that it doesn't retain freshness for long. Knowing this upfront would have helped make the decision on whether to buy or not. They only offered 50% refund. I now have a cake in the refrigerator that I need to throw away that uneaten and only get half my money back. Their staff and service in general is great so I have still stuck with a 3 star for service. Cake was not good this time, unfortunately

Dodged a bullet for my wedding cake by not choosing here. I stopped in to sample some cupcakes and other treats because they make beautiful cakes but I was unbelievably disappointed. The cookies were hard, crumbling and didn't taste good. The gluten free brownie was horrible. The icing on the cupcakes tastes like store bought chemical betty crocker icing. Some of the worst baked goods I have ever had in my entire life. Will not be getting my wedding cake from them and will never be back.

Did you know they do pies??? You have to special order, but they are great! Their gluten free cupcakes are wonderful.
