The best scones I've ever had!! Cinnamon were delicious. Will try blueberry next week at the BG Farmers Market.

On 6/30/2026 Felicia had this to say:
I had the pleasure of trying the blueberry scone and carrot soup, and both were excellent. The scone was fresh, light, and perfectly baked, while the soup was flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. The quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere made for a wonderful experience. I look forward to visiting again. Testimonial written by Felicia on this site.

On 3/13/2026 Mark Layne had this to say:
This review comes with a brief story. Before kids, my wife and I traveled frequently. On a cruise to the southern Caribbean, we discovered Tortuga rum cakes. Almost every shop at every port-of-call had samples of their various flavors on a tray to entice shoppers into taking one or more home with them. I despise shopping, but I LOVED Tortuga rum cakes. That enticement alone found me gladly following my wife along from store-to-store gobbling-up rum cake at every tourist trap gift shop on every island we visited. Some days, rum cake was my only food. Since that trip, I've never found a rum cake remotely similar to Tortuga. That is until one day when my mother-in-law brought us one of Nana's originals as a holiday treat. OMG! They are the exact texture and flavor of my beloved Tortuga! In fact, they may taste slightly better. They are definitely moister. I've never been to Nana's bakery, but I have tasted Caribbean heaven from a Nanas Rum Cakes box. My only regret is we don't live closer.
