This place took me back to a different era. The service was excellent and the ambiance was nostalgic.
Walked in with my family with the hopes of buying a birthday cake for a last minute birthday dinner and I am so glad we did! They had so many fresh cake options for purchase and sweets available. The staff were so welcoming, helpful, and kind. We loved the cake so much we went back the next month and got two dozen cupcakes for my daughters birthday celebration at school and then ordered a custom cake for her party. Dimare is truly a gem!!
Dimare is a pastry shop that I have frequented over 4 decades. Their Italian pastry and custom cakes are fabulous. They are also community minded and help local nonprofits, making donations. Let us support them too.
Delightful! My sister in law recommended when we were in town. She lives for the chocolate chip cookies (both kinds) so we made sure to bring some back for her. They are crunchy, which isn't my favorite, but still objectively good. We enjoyed a red velvet cupcake and a mini cream puff as well. Nice for any sweets you may be craving because they have a large assortment!
We've been getting specialty cakes from DiMare since 1993. They are always delicious and fresh. We needed a carrot cake for a recent event and they over delivered at a reasonable cost. Family owned business with quality products. Don't hesitate to trust them to provide a delicious cake.
Your family friendly neighborhood bakery!!! I first heard about this bakery because my apartment building had bought pies from them on pie day....and I have to say the pies are delicious! I was in the neighborhood and spotted this and knew I had to come visit. There was a sign on the window indicating that they are moving locations to a unit right next door. I think it is probably because it will be bigger because there is not much room inside the current location. I walked in and it was pretty busy but the staff moved quickly and soon me and my friends were the only ones inside trying to figure out what to get. We ended up getting a 6 inch oreo cheesecake for $10, which was beautifully wrapped and tasted wonderful. They have a wide assortment of cookies, pastries, tarts, and various desserts. I really have to come back and try their selection. They also have a decent cake selection to choose from for all your celebratory needs. The staff is quick and attentive. The bakery is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, so come in and decide for yourself what will satisfy your dessert craving!
