Hi so me and my now husband got married on Saturday. We had spent a lot of time looking for a nice wedding cake that was amazing and what we were looking for and at a good price. When we went in we chose what we wanted it went fine. Well the wedding came and the cake was wrong. The flavors and all. So my mother in law called and tried to explain the situation and got rudely hung up on. Then after he hung up someone from a wedding the same day called and said they had the bottom and top layer to our cake! And we had theirs.. so it’s bad enough they ruined our cake but another wedding as well. The owner refunded us but did not have the heart to offer any sort of apology. A wedding is once in a lifetime. Unlike a birthday where you have time to make it up and do it correct, so now me and my husband did not get a top for our first year anniversary. I would 100% not recommend this place for a wedding specifically if you want it done right.

I was recently at an event that was catered by Delicate Decadence. The food was excellent. It tasted fresh like it came from a home kitchen, not a commercial one. The service staff was polite and efficient, and Tim could not have been more accommodating and engaging with all that guests. The hosts for the party raved about dealing with Tim and his staff both before in help planning the event and afterwards is cleaning up and striking the set. I recommend Delicate Decadence!

Enjoyed meeting, the New owner Tim, in the New Location next Barre City Hall,to shop for our Wedding Cake 🥂🍾🎂The Tim met with us to get to know us, what we were looking for?What we liked?Disliked?Must haves?Then he sat us down, gave us each a glass of water & choices to try different types of cake, filling and frosting combinations of what his bakery offers.This was not just paperwork and some notes like at grocery stores do. For us it was a great experience that was fun and worth it for any couple who wants a cake they can call their own.Tims knowledge of; what can and cannot be done ✅ with your cake or pastry choices, the environment your choice will be in, amount needed to accommodate your event and decoration if needed i.e. wedding topper, colors, depends on the event.We met April who would be making our cake.Our experience was so wonderful we invited him to the wedding if he would like to attend.Thanks to the Tim and his staff who were involved with our cake, it was exactly like the combination we created but Better because it was the final product. Pictures to come soon.

Im obsessed with this place. Anytime I need to get a dessert, I get it here! Their newer location is absolutely beautiful! Last time I was in they had given a little girl a bunch of cookies for the holidays. Thats the kind of business I love supporting!

Reliable. Delicious. Friendly. Over a decade of positive experiences. Vegan options.

Thank you for making my vision come true on my sisters 30th birthday cake! Brittany decorated it and did a beautiful job!

Got a strawberry shortcake and it was outstanding. Light, fresh, delicious, and beautiful. We have gone several times for cakes and they have never disappointed. Their pastries are very good as well. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. This place is a gem.

They got my whole order wrong, I asked for vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting with choclate in the middle. They gave me choclate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and whipped chocolate on the inside with sprinkles on the top, then when I said it was wrong they were extremely rude, and didnt offer a discount or anything even after getting my whole order wrong. I wont ever go back and i dont recommends this place to anyone thats looking for good customer service or getting what you ask for.

I was first drawn to Delicate Decadence because they were able to accommodate my childrens food allergies. It meant the world to them to be able to go in and pick out a special treat or pop in for a bagel. They are very sensitive to gluten and have never had an issue. We started taking advantage of their take home meals which are convenient and delicious. Just recently I had them cater a meeting at our office which was easy to plan, on time and everyone who attended raved about the food. Highly recommend!

Went for the French macarons and they didnt have any and it seemed like they had no idea what I was talking about

Perfect service and the Key Lime Pie was divine. Thank you!

Tim and his crew at Delicate Decadence are in a league of their own. Sure, their treats, food and everything they make are absolutely delicious, but it is their customer service that really separates them from their competitors. Tim handles every order and every circumstance with the greatest of care and always delivers the highest end of customer service. If you need anything from a single tasty treat to a full dessert display at a 500 person wedding, Tim and Delicate Decadence is the only stop you need to make. Thanks for all you do Tim!

This place is a gem. Amazing pastries, cakes, and food. They even make weekly meals you can pick up! I highly recommend.

Hands down the best bakery and gluten free options galore. A hidden gem that is worth the trip if your coming from out of town. Sugar gods !

Always delicious food. Their Wednesday prepared meals make a restaurant-quality meal at home a breeze at an affordable price. And now I can also say that their catering service is terrific as well. Incredible food and the friendliest people to work with!

I love this place! They have great coffee and even better food! Love stopping in for a some sort of treat and a coffee on my way through town. The staff is always smiling and friendly!

Delicate Decadence is such a pleasant hometown bakery. My husband and I like to gather all types of pastries to bring home and freeze for later use. After enjoying one of the macaroons last weekend, my husband stated that Tim should just sell large containers of the filling!

Confused by the binary nature of the reviews. My personal experience over time has been a great one - lovely people and super food all around. Im always thrilled to attend a meeting in Barre and see the box of DD treats.

This has been my go-to bakery ever since it changed ownership. Their cookies are scrumptious, the staff is super friendly, and they make everything look amazing! My mother recently got my birthday cake and cupcakes here and I was blown away! Just what I had been hoping for and absolutely delicious. Try the raspberry infused frosting. You wont regret it!

Cake tasting this morning. They were professional, accommodating, and friendly. Cakes were good too.

I really appreciate the coffee iced cubes in the iced coffee!! 😁

Very nice staff and it was amazing that all of their desserts were nut free. The place it’s self was very clean and well kept. You can even see them making the pastries.

Went there to talk about my wedding cake. They were kind. They were very professional. They also set up our cake tasting right away. Excellent service!

I have had nothing but excellent service from this establishment and have been treated kindly during every exchange. Not sure about all of these other comments and anger over a not free turkey leg, but from my experience this is not a reflection of their normal business practices. Dont have a dog in this fight but my experiences have been pleasant and the food is excellent.

Take home meal are great and convenient. The deserts are incredible. Very friendly people. You wont be disappointed.

Always very welcoming and they have delicious treats!

Knowledgeable and Friendly Staff. Fantastic attention to details. My boys Nana will love the cake we bought from here.

Their confections are lovely, but these people are just nasty. Ive experienced it first hand but let it go as people are allowed to have bad days. But a friend of mine recently had a bad experience and was treated despicably. In addition to not abiding by simple health code rules and having the worst customer service I have ever heard of, the owner has also threatened the jobs of his staff for not defending him on Facebook. As a native Central Vermonter, I suggest that they do some real damage control, because we dont allow this in our community.

Great staff amazing food cant beat it anywhere.

Delicate Decadence was an incredible little bakery. After enjoying the products and environment at this bakery for a couple of years, we began to hear about abnormally negative experiences from other customers and then witnessed some such ugly exchanges online. It turns out, the owner of this business is regretfully transphobic. We can not recommend this business to anyone anymore.

Always a good place to get treats they are also a good place to go for presents

Amazing iced coffee by Artisan Coffee Roasters and you must try the Millionaire Bar! Great service and everything is delicious.

I ordered a birthday cake online, it was a easy process and the cake was soooooo good!

Excellent sweets and dinners. The carrot cake is to die for!! We get the take home meals most Wednesdays.

Delicious!! One of the best bagels Ive ever had.

The cakes are decent, but questionable sanitary practices. The owner is shockingly rude to customers, calling someone a whack job and pathetic will not bring in business. They probably didnt teach that in baking school, but its in business 101. Good luck with your ok food and even worse customer service. Apparently its cool to serve food thats been on someone elses plate and charge them for it in VT, who knew. And dont you dare complain to this owner. Hes a republican and thinks everyone in VT is a libtard (his words) looking for a handout. Oh, and he likes to insult cancer patients too. I am absolutely horrified by the treatment of a couple of individuals and this owner should have taken the high road long ago. Its a really disappointing and disheartening thing to see in a small community.

So folks. I need to inform the public of a recent experience I just had at:Delicate Decadence in Barre, Vermont.I went in to buy a coffee. They were in the process of cleaning a thanksgiving table they had served to the benefit shop. Walking through I noticed lots of leftovers being thrown away. As you know Ive been getting back on my feet after surgery and friends have been helping me with meals. When I saw this meal I asked is this being thrown away? Ill take some of it! They said sure! And preceded to offer me this and that saying give her some of this and Do you want this? We wont eat itThe whole exchange was presented as if they were just giving me the food as it was otherwise being thrown away. I mean, you cant legally sell pre served food!I repeatedly stated wow!, really? You sure? Thanks! And had a conversion with the owner about how generous he was being and how I was recovering from surgery and this was a treat not to cook. Maybe I shouldnt have even wanted this considering...but it seemed fine at the time.Yet, after packing up my meal and paying for my coffee with the owner present they rung me up and charged me to two full dinners at the rate of a fresh meal. ($18.00)I hesitated,confused as this was food that was being thrown away otherwise!I had no choice, we had just spent a half hour talking and packing food.What I left with was two drumsticks, two rolls, stuffing and boc choy for two.Ok. So delicate decadence screw number 1.Next, when I got home and started heating up the the food, I unwrapped the turkey legs and found behind one looked to be a HUGE bite taken out of it.No skin, back nearly empty. It looked half eaten. Gross!knowing this was leftovers, I just didnt feel comfortable serving it. I threw both legs in the trash.photos to prove it.How did they not they not notice the drumstick they were packing up to sell me as a full fresh meal looked torn away at?Delicate decadence screw number 2.Then..I messaged them VERY politely telling them I didnt feel comfortable serving this food and asked them if they could make it up to me somehow.Instead of responding with an apology and a gracious of course! They coldly sent me a request to bring the meat in and SHOW THEM! and also I would need my receipt! I was literally there a meer three hours earlier and we spoke for a long time. I told then them the second hand food they sold me looked suspect and this is the response?!I was shocked and offended and replied with an actual photo of the meat in the garbage and explained i should NOT have to bring the meat in to proove it looked suspect, as they knew as well as me my concerns were reasonable under the circumstances.I expressed my feeling upset at how they were handing this situation to which the owner replied to me:Come in for a full refund, it will be ready at counter and please shop elsewhere in the futureIm simply shocked and extremely hurt. This is an unacceptable way to treat a patron so I am passing this experience along to my community.I will not be seeking my refund, as sadly feel scared and uncomfortable to go in there. :(

Super friendly staff and great food. We use them for catering all the time.

I was really hoping for a sticky bun but they dont have them all the time.

Went to a birthday dinner, Dessert was supposed to be an Italian Rum Cream Cake . Instead it was a Pound cake Bundt shaped with no detectable rum. Not a Sponge cake as it is supposed to be. AND the crust was unchewable. Tough crunchy and (not in a good way). The icing had fallen off the bottom of the cake. The Cream part was in the Bundt hole instead of the middle. Overall , the WORST cake EVER !!!!!

Great desserts

Love this place, everything is so good and different every day.

Sad and Pathetic place they will never again get my patronage. The Owner is a very Nasty person and the food is far from decadent.

My daughter was married in Vermont 3 weeks ago and wanted a vegan cake. We opted for a chocolate vegan cake with a faux buttercream frosting and then had a selection of chocolate, coconut and lemon cupcakes also with faux buttercream frosting. We never had the opportunity to taste test due to living out of town and went totally on referral from a friend. Tim was super easy to work with, reasonably priced, all delivered on time and set-up was beautiful. The cake was incredible and the cupcakes were just divine - if this is what Tim does for vegan, Im certain that the non-vegan baked items must be just as spectacular. Thanks for making our daughters wedding special. Id totally recommend this shop!

Great place, great staff, great cakes & pastries!

Everything is so yummy!

I got my daughters cake here for her last birthday and will get another this year!

Awful customer service. Do not go here.

Amazing sweets!

Its a sin🥴🤣

So yummy!

Good food
