great prices, service, food, and everything! The deli has a subway type of style where you just order what you want and get the toppings as chosen.

We ordered cupcakes for our daughter’s baby shower. They were decorated beautifully and tasted great! Also enjoy eating at the deli when we come to town. The sandwiches are fresh and always made to perfection! Can’t leave without a dill pickle! Great job!

Any time one of my loved ones visits, I bring them here. My best friend lives an hour away but we still make time to come here. I’ve done business meetings here. They’re amazing. Food is wonderful, service is great and it’s a staple to Clinton’s community. So grateful for them.

My daughter Rene’e love’s the sandwich ‘s and cookies and I was there to late for a ” Glazed Donut “!! Thank you again, great service ‼️

Sweetheart is our go-to for cakes (and other bakery goods). I can’t thank them enough for doing this last minute cake for my daughter’s impromptu birthday party. The picture doesn’t do it justice. They were hesitant to take the order because of the short turn around but they went above and beyond to make us very happy!

Wonderful family business with friendly staff. The bakery has many delicious goodies to choose from and now offers an espresso bar! Our family always gets the kiddos birthday cake from here. As for the deli, everything is always fresh and they offer great catering options!

I picked up a 1/2 sheet cake and a dozen filled long John doughnuts. The doughnuts were supposed to be fresh but felt and tasted like they were 2 days old. Not to mention the filling, and frosting on the cake, is super sweet. Don’t get me wrong, I love sweet stuff. But this frosting left me sick to my stomach. Overall I don’t think everything was worth $80. I will say though, the cashier was extremely wonderful. She was super polite, patient and even helped me walk the stuff out to my vehicle.

Never had rye bread like yours. It is lovely. And I stop everytime I’m back home for a decorative sugar cookie. Best Around, no arguments. All the love. This is my favorite bakery. The sandwiches and soup next door are just a delicious bonus to this marvelous place.
