Cakes Plus

This shop is new to the area. Cakes Plus is also located on Dale Mabry in Tampa and this location has been open just about a month.
They have everything you could ever want in this bakery. They have specialty cakes on display. So if you are looking for a cake for that special occasion, check them out. They have cannoli and muffins, pound cakes and cupcakes. They also have mini pound cakes that are absolutely delicious. They even offer free tastes on their baked goods.
We had the gelato and it is melt in your mouth delicious. The size is just right because it is a sweet treat. I think the cost is a bit more than I would like to pay, but my gelato was frozen down to my last spoonful, no melting. My hubby got the pan fried pound cake with gelato on top, yes you heard me right, pan fried pound cake with gelato on top. He LOVED it! And my son got the Tiramisu gelato which he loved. It was very creamy and just mmm mmm good!
The girls in the bakery were very friendly and so willing to help. They explained everything, and for someone who has never had gelato before, that meant a lot. They were patient as I asked my questions, and the guest were pleased as they left the store. Customer service is hugely important. You can have the best prices and great food, but if your customer service stinks, my money and I will go elsewhere. I don’t think I will have to worry here. They are a small bakery and are looking to serve their customers and their community.
I give this bakery 4 stars because they have sold me with the fresh baked goods and the gelato, and their customer service was so on point. They are a bit more expensive than I would like, but if you compare them to any other place that provides the same service, I think they have competitive prices and priced appropriately.
They are a small bakery, but they are ‘A’ ok with this familia!
Did I mention the pan fried pound cake with gelato on top!!!
