Bonafide Bakeshop Cafe - Apex

We had already sat down when the guy who had taken our order came over to let us know he had forgotten to charge us for an unsweet tea. In culinary school, you are taught that you shouldn't charge the customer if you your establishment is the one who made the mistake. We had to sit there and search for cash to pay for something that we could have paid for with a card if he had not forgotten to charge us in the first place. Telling us we had to pay after he made the mistake was poor customer service. It doesn't cost that much to make tea. Since he was the one who forgot to charge us, the right thing to do would have been to comp it. We have spent a lot of money there. Unfortunately, due to poor customer service, we won't be returning.

Disappointed. Got a really tiny piece of quiche. It was a Tiny sliver not the nice sized piece shown in the case. So I prefer a taller quiche to a short pie to really enjoy the creamy egg custard. I realized ahead this was not it looked good. The egg seemed over cooked and crumbled apart when I put my fork into it. Only ok as far as flavor goes. Crust was nice but needed more egg and creamy quiche texture. My plain latte looked good but lacked on coffee flavor. Tasted like milk. By the looks of it I know there was espresso in there but the flavor was faint. So ordered 2 eggs scrambled to get some protein to make up for the quiche. Couldn’t eat it. Flat, dry, overcooked. I did try and it was super dry, rubbery. Not good. From a bakery that serves breakfast sandwiches would expect better. At least fluffy not “fried” to death scrambled eggs. The peach pecan muffin had good flavor. Not much peach but the spice and pecans were nice , just not enough to come back for. Super sad. I wanted to find a new go to.

One of the best bake shops in the area. This place would have been even busier, had they had more seating space. I love their interiors. It is packed with plants. Tried most of the items on the menu. They have a huge menu given the small space. Everything here is great. Parking can be tricky, as the entrance is on a slope. I went here multiple times.

I lived within walking distance of Bonafide for 2 years, so this review is a long time coming. The pastries and lunches here are always delicious, they truly never miss. And they always have something new to try, so you’ll never get bored!Since their food is so good, I decided I’d order my husband’s birthday cake from here. He’s a Swedish citizen and grew up eating prinsesstårta “Princess Cake” at birthday parties. It’s a fairly involved process involving green marzipan, custard, whipped cream, raspberries, shaping, and layers. It was a big request, in my opinion, considering it’s not a common cake in the US and requires a bit more skill to make. But the baker at Bonafide agreed to make it and was so great about asking questions and making sure that she understood my request.On the day of pick-up, I was presented with EXACTLY what I wanted! What’s more, it was delicious! So delicious, in fact, that I ordered it again this year even after having moved from Apex.Bonafide is one of Apex’s finest businesses and I cannot recommend them enough!

My family has been ordering at Bonafide over the years. We have loved the custom cakes that they create so much. Not only is it affordable but it tastes very good. When I asked my dad for a very decorated cake that would cost at least 150 dollars at another bakery, we got it at Bonafide for just 70 dollars. One time, we tried ordering a cake on my birthday, but they said their baker was out of town on that day. Then I realized that they don't just bake the cakes then put them in a freezer, they bake it on the same day to make a fresh and ready to eat! That is why I will order from Bonafide every time for my birthday cake.
