*Delivery review*Ive seen this bakery many times but never stopped in so when I was ordering an online breakfast for delivery at the spur of the moment I decided to add some sweet treats - as you do!The mango bomb donut was good but maybe a little too sweet and had a slight artificial sweetness about it! Hard for me to say that as I adore mangoes! It's filled with some kind of mango jellyThe banana muffin is jumbo sized and good it would be better if they added chocolate chips!

Apr 24 · TCWEP NetworkMy husband and I can’t say enough great things about Thirsty Whale. Our best friends surprised us with their custom cakes for both our gender reveal and baby shower! And let me tell you, they did not disappoint! Our friends and family will be talking about both cakes for ages. You give them an idea for a custom cake and it is perfectly executed. All of the flavor options and combinations are great too, there’s truly something for everyone. 12/10 recommend for your desserts for any occasion!
Mar 31 · Brittney WatsonMy husband stopped here to grab some donuts this morning (Friday). He was the second customer in. They state online that not all flavors may be available. Understandable. This, however, seems like a pretty big misrepresentation of their offerings. I included a photo THEY provided online. My husband chose three flavors. One was packaged alone, and two were pu in a bag together on their sides. While certainly not life changing, why bother with the cute topping if they will be getting tossed in a paper bag like a sack lunch. To top it all off, the donuts seemed chilled. As in, I strongly feel they were not made the morning of. They also relied too heavily on the frosting/icing. Which were mostly just too sweet without any real flavor to note. All in all, for the price, just go to Cub or your local donut shop for a better selection, quality, and freshness. It is also worth noting that this is my only experience with them so, their other products might be of higher quality. The cake decorating seem to be their real talent. The photos look stunning.
Jun 13 · Jaime MakiThey did our wedding cake! It was amazing, all of our guests thought the cake tasted so good. They also made these super cute mushroom cupcakes for us that were a big hit with my nieces and nephews!
