What People Are Saying About Once In A Blue Moon Bakery
Featured Review
Contributor

In Short – The blue moon-themed murals add character to this simple coffee shop; it's the perfect place to run in for java or just sit awhile to escape the world. Beyond the counter lies the kitchen where one can find tortes, tarts, cheesecakes, pies and custom-made cakes are divine creations, and endless flavors are impossible to choose from. Light lunches are available for takeout or dine-in, plus soup, salad, pasta salad or quiche.

Amazing cakes!
by CAS521 at Citysearch
I just moved to Cary a few months ago and these cakes are TO DIE FOR! I needed a small cake for my 4-year old's party last month, and picked the razzberry one. All the kids loved it and it was a huge hit. Earlier in the year I had the margarita cake for a work party and it tasted like a dream. Great go-to for parties!

Disappointed
by renehart at Citysearch
I have always heard good things about this bakery, but those folks must have been referring to cakes and pies and not pastries and other "breakfast eats." There wasn't much of a selection, and the cherry pastry I settled for (no apple?) was big on the pastry (which was great and not too sugary!) but not so much on the "barely there" fruit. Next time, I'll just wait for Fresh Market to open -- much better/broader selection and higher quality.

Not worth it
by goldenblade at Citysearch
I custom-ordered a birthday cake from here and was quite disappointed with it. It looked nice and cost a lot, but was dry, bland, and worse than what I could have bought at a grocery store for half the cost. So I have never bought from them again. Sorry that a local small business can't compete with the chains. Costco has delicious moist cakes, BTW.
- Pros: Locally owned?
- Cons: Cake was dry and not worth it

the BEST bakery in NC!!!
by MCq at Citysearch
YES!! it's even posted on their walls, they've been voted Best Bakery over 5 times!! I called Blue Moon this past week for a cake for my Dad unsure what I'd be getting into because they were reffered to me. I called because their website seemed out of date, however who has time to fix their website when they have SO much buisness! When I called I got to choose from so many flavors, the options were endless. I wasn't sure what to expect but believe me when I got to the bakery I was pleasently surprised! the college and high school students that work there are just the nicest people! (GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!) but the best part was my cake! My cake was GORGEOUS & well worth the cost! The strawberry mousse was heavenly and the butter cream (made with REAL butter!!!) was outstanding!! All my guests and even my picky Dad LOVED it!! I should have gotten a bigger cake! OH, I even had an AWESOME lunch in their cafe! Which was great because they had 2 vegetarian options. So, I highly recommend Blue Moon Bakery! Not only are their cakes absolutely delicious, but I spotted some huge yummy looking cookies and brownies!!!
- Pros: wonderful customer service & desserts!!
- Cons: NONE!

Too expensive
by SPICE at Citysearch
I used to patronize Blue Moon many years ago and was never disappointed. However, just today I visited and made a purchase and most likely will not be a return customer. The Ranger Cookies tasted like the only ingredients were the coconut, shortening and rolled oats. The lemon cake was very tasty, i must admit, but I have tasted many Southern homemade cakes that put Blue Moon's too shame. There was more to be desired in the lemon butterceam frosting.
Sorry-too over-rated and over-priced.
- Pros: The cakes DO look delicious
- Cons: Too expensive for taste
