Very nice place to shop for sweets and local grown favorites.Really friendly staff.
Look cute, but taste is lacking. Not sure how it has such high rating (assuming small community helped with the rating). Had them at a wedding and was not impressed. Cake was heavy and bland.
Oh, my, the flavors, the taste, the freshness, the friendliness and such a quaint little place. Your tastebuds will be making yummy food sounds and beg for more. We just moved here and we make sure that we take everyone that visits from back home to Lula's Bakery!!!
I've only been there once. With that said, there was a poor selection. And what I got was dry enough not to ever want to go back.
First stopped into the bakery on a visit to town ahead of moving here, and so enjoyed the warmth and obvious love Lora has for her grandmother and her business. Lively conversation and laughter found me leaving the bakery 15 minutes later feeling as though I had made a new friend and with an array of absolutely delicious and beautifully decorated cupcakes, as well as several varieties of equally delicious cookies. I’ve stopped in several times during short visits to the city while finalizing the relocation here, and the baked goods are consistently both delicious and beautiful. I will need to develop more definitive willpower once I am living here full time!
