Customer Stories

Loved by Regulars & Special Occasions Alike

“The sourdough at Maplewood ruined every other loaf in Burlington for me. We stop in most Saturdays and the olive parmesan scone is worth the trip alone.”

Renata H.Regular customer, Burlington

“Elena built us a three-tier wedding cake with a raspberry filling that our guests are still talking about. She walked us through flavors and design over one easy call after we filled out the form online.”

Josh & Priya M.Wedding cake, Burlington, VT

“We order the pastry platters for our office every Monday. Easy online ordering, always on time, and the almond croissants disappear in minutes.”

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I request a custom cake?

Use the Start a Custom Order form on our Custom Orders page — it captures your event date, guest count, and occasion (wedding, birthday, catering, or corporate) so Elena's team can follow up with flavor and design options already in mind.

Should I check the menu before I visit?

It's a good idea, especially for seasonal items — our Menu page shows what's currently in the case: breads, pastries, cakes by the slice, and drinks, updated as our offerings change.

Do you offer online ordering for pickup?

Yes — regulars can order ahead for pickup so their morning pastry or coffee is ready the moment they walk in, no waiting in the case line.

Do you label allergens and dietary options?

Yes. Gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free items are labeled clearly on the case and on our menu page, so you can decide before you visit instead of asking at the counter.

How far in advance should I order a wedding or event cake?

We recommend at least 6-8 weeks out for wedding cakes and 2 weeks for birthday or celebration cakes, though we'll always try to accommodate a shorter timeline — just call and ask.
