This gem of a coffee shop is a local favourite, and it’s easy to see why: their homemade cakes are nothing short of spectacular. Each slice feels like a hug from grandma’s kitchen, with a perfect balance of moist, tender crumb and just-right sweetness. What sets this place apart is the homemade touch. You can tell these cakes are crafted with care, using quality ingredients like real butter and fresh eggs, which give them that nostalgic, made-from-scratch flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices feel like a steal for the quality—perfect for a quick treat or a leisurely afternoon with friends. This spot truly lives up to its name, delivering the best homemade cakes I’ve ever tasted in a coffee shop that feels like a warm embrace. I’ll be back—every weekend!
