Great place to pop in for a tasty treat!!
Try the eclairs, they are awesome. Not too sweet and very rich.

We love visiting half baked. We enjoy chatting with the chef/owner when we visit each time, and he is always willing to tell you all about the menu. There isn't an item you can find that will disappoint you in my opinion. Perogis and macaroons you never knew you needed.

Ordered brownies, baklava, lemon bars and cookies for two graduation parties. Picked up cake pops and decorated cookies in store to add to my trays. The desserts were fresh and amazing.
It was very difficult to cut the large items for the groups of 12 & 24. The 2nd days order were not cut even after discussing this when picking up the first order. Minor miss-communication. Not thrilled with the new set up. Had to wait for food orders with only one person covering the counter.
Still the baked goods were wonderful and a big hit.

This place is delightful! The first sensation when opening the door is the sweet sugary smells that hit your nostrils. You are guaranteed to see some whimsical decor and great big smiles. Nav and his staff are excellent! I always leave smiling and I love bringing friends and hearing the awe I had when I first visited.
There's always a variety of desserts and coffee and if there's some left you will also find several tasty lunch items. I have yet to come across something I didn't like here. There is a good selection of gluten-free items as well!
You must visit this charming shop ASAP the next time you have a sugar craving! You won't be disappointed!

Great place! We went in for a birthday cupcake and some coffee. The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and described each thing in the case to us. It all looked so delicious! My red velvet cupcake was wonderful. We preordered a Thanksgiving pie. It was delicious as well and had the prettiest fall leaves on top. Our family enjoyed it very much and we’re planning on ordering a cake for Christmas.

Always taste treats. Great macaroons, oatmeal filled sandwich cookies are a fav for us, and the gluten free death by chocolate cupcakes were amazing!!!
Haven't tried the coffee yet, never think of coffee when I'm there just the treats

Stopped in today because they were one of a handful of open places downtown. We tried the macaroons, and they were perfect! Awesome flavor and texture. The people were so friendly and helpful, and pointed us to another great local place for lunch. Will be back next time we’re in Mt. Vernon!

Best bakery in my 40 years in Knox County! Everything is good, and to my tastes not too sweet. I won't mention my favorites because there won't be any for me!! Owner and staff are also awesome. Highly recommended.
