This was my first time personally purchasing a cake from this bakery. I love macaroons and my friend always gets me some from here, so it convinced me to try the bakery for myself. I am not at all pleased with that decision. I came in a little over two weeks ago with a picture and very specific, but clear details on what kind of cake my daughter wanted for her 13th birthday, which is on 1/21. This is a big deal for my baby girl, a monumental birthday, so she wanted things EXACTLY as she asked for them to be. Since she is a well-behaved, straight A student, who plays several instruments and does

Their food is excellent here!! Wonderfully seasoned with a lot of TLC. I did not give them the 5th star strictly due to their schedule. The restaurant part closes at 6,when most people are arriving at restaurants. The sign says open until 9, but that is just the bakery, so a little misleading. I guess if you are a regular. you know. I have tried to become one, bur they are closed or closing all the time. I guess I missed this bus

This place is off the chain !! If you are looking for the best that a bakery has to offer anywhere in probably SC .... Find your way here !! If you are looking for ( in my opinion ) the BEST food that I have tasted in the Columbia area in over a decade during a lunch service .... Look no more ! ! These people have their stuff together. Great food does not just create itself . It's created in places such as this place . Preparing wonderful food is my passion ..... at home .. So my experience at Tiffany's has been nothing short of an inspiring taste bud quest that I now look forward to every

Delicious baked goods and wonderful staff! The texture and flavors are amazing. Definitely recommend trying their cake, muffins and cupcakes. Their cakes are super soft, light, and moist. We really enjoyed their German chocolate cupcakes and chocolate muffins. We shopped here on Christmas Eve and it was bustling. The manager was very kind and added a few extra delicious Christmas-themed mini cake slices.
