Is it possible to make room for dessert after dessert? Kaminskys taught me that yes, it is. Wonderful atmosphere, classy joint but laid back at the same time. Delicious desserts AND good drinks? Heaven. The strawberry cake was to die for!! If you're a strawberry fan, it's a must have. All of the staff were so refreshingly friendly ❤ (fully private single bathrooms are also a plus)

While eating at Pearlz we noticed a walk through to a Dessert place next door. We found out that the owner owns both places so figured, why not give it a try as our dinner experience was so good. Regretfully it was in not as good as Pearlz. Found seating and ordered Hot Chocolate, Flavored Coffee and a Decaffeinated Cappuccino, Birthday and Chocolate Cake and NY Cheesecake. Service was ok but a bit cold as were all the coffee's and warm chocolate 2 ⭐. The Birthday Cake seemed a bit old 2 ⭐ with the Chocolate Cake and Cheesecake ok 4 ⭐. I regretfully cannot recommend this place but leave it up to you to decide.

I had to take a moment and struggle with how I would present this. I was just going to ignore it and not post a review but the overwhelming feeling of highway robbery and poor quality just sits there as a poor taste in my mouth. It was my wife’s birthday and she wanted a Coconut Cream Pie instead of a birthday cake. Having spent many years of my life in the Great Lakes and Midwest, I have had the pleasure of experiencing world class pies. One such place is Mama Joe’s Pies in Amherst, Ohio. They have been making pies for more than 35 years and continually expand their shop to accommodate the demand. On any given day they offer more than 20 varieties of pieces and sell hundreds per day but I digress.I found the Kaminsky website and was floored to see them asking $30 for a single 9” pie. That is more money than I have ever seen any place ask for a single pie but after reading reviews and ratings, I figured this must be one world class pie. By was of comparison, the same Mama Joe’s Pies currently offers her 9” Coconut Cream Pie (a full 9” pie that stands no less than 4” tall) for just $15.50. While I wasn’t excited about spending $30 for a single pie, it was my wife’s birthday and I would do anything to ensure she was happy. I called and placed the order only to find out that the $30 prices they were advertising on their website had been raised 10% due to inflation making it now $33. Because I knew my grandkids would not appreciate the Coconut Cream I went ahead and ordered their signature “Tollhouse” Pie for a total of $66 for 2 pies.I placed the order for pickup on the Saturday before Easter. The person told me pickup was after 4PM. I went to collect the pies. The pleasant counter person asked my name and asked me to repeat my order. She left and returned with 2 typical pie boxes, 10”x6”. I walked to my car and let my wife see a peak of the pies. We were both completely mortified. Instead of nice full 9” pieces, they had taken a typical 9” aluminum pie tin and instead of filling the tin and using the rim for the crust, they had actually crimped a crust fully within the tin itself ending up with a pie less than 8” outer crust to outer crust. Because they had forced the entire crust down in to the pan, it also resulted in a very short pie. The total pie was less than 8” across and with filling and whipped topping it measured less than 2” high.The pie itself, outside of being underside as previously described, the crust looked as though it had been done by a 6 year old. It was very, very thick and dense. It was very, very blonde and undercooked. The filling was very sparse. It was highway robbery at best and outright fraud. I have absolutely no clue how anyone would have ever warded a 5 star review with a product such as this. The filling was edible and that was the only saving grace. I could have done much better with an $8.99 Marie Callender’s thaw and serve pie from Publix.My wife immediately asked why I didn’t reject the pies and ask for my money back. As previously mentioned, it was then Saturday evening before Easter Sunday and I just didn’t feel I would be able to get a satisfactory replacement in time to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I can assure you, I will never return for another desert. I really have no idea how these criminals masquerading as bakers even stay in business. Note that I didn’t specify which pie I was describing. It didn’t matter. Both of them were similar in size and presentation. Even their signature pie was no better.Here’s the pics. You decide for yourself if this is worth $66 to you.

Found this spot looking for a bakery. I did take out and the sweet lady, Brianna, assisted me with everything. It was difficult selecting what to get. I got the toasted marshmallow drink. For the cakes I got flutter butter, bailey red velvet, cheesecake and biscoff cake. The biscoff one was my favorite. I ate a small peice of them all and they were not a disappointment. The other drinks were so unique I hate I couldn't try them. Location is good for a 1st date.

This is Columbia’s best local, late night/special occasion dessert cafe. They have a revolving menu of desserts, great coffee and specialty drinks as well as a prime location close to all the downtown and Vista excitement. My go-to is their key lime pie but there are so many to choose from, you’ll never be bored! Highly recommend going here when bringing out of town visitors or just because - but watch out they get busy on weekends. Even with a packed restaurant, we had good service.

Not a professional critic, but I know good cake when I eat it. I am quite certain the cake is frozen and thawed in a refrigerator. I was very disappointed in the slice of cake I purchased, the only reason I went here. Look, I understand its not a bakery, but it is an “up scaled” dessert cafe. If you are out looking for cake at night, wait for morning and go somewhere else, trust me.

I had the most amazing time here. Lily was our server and she truly went above and beyond for our table! Not only do I highly recommend going for the yummy desserts and drinks but you must ask for Lily as your server! She is amazing!!!

Normally when I come, the servers are helpful when asking what kinds of cakes they have. However, tonight, Chanice H. failed miserably. I asked and was told that she didn’t know what they had and to get up and basically look for myself. I then asked what kinds of cakes had she been bringing out. Once again she said she didn’t know. I told her this was not a good answer. We also attempted to order a pineapple mango martini, but were told that she didn’t know if they could make it due to being out of the syrup. She did not check but stated she wasn’t sure without attempting to confirm. As stated, this is not my previous experience as every other time the waitresses have been extremely helpful, going above and beyond.

Incredible desserts, hot cocoa, and after-dinner drinks!
