Very cute little shop in the shopping center with Palis de Jade. It’s in the unit that used to be Baskin Robbins and TCBY before that. There is a selection of cookies and gift items available in addition to the namesake rum cakes. The rum cakes come in mini, medium and large as well as slices. They also serve coffee. The owner was very sweet and everything was delicious. I got lemon cookies, snickerdoodles and a giant slice of rum cake. This would be a great place to come if you needed to pick up a unique cake for a special event. Also, nice to grab dessert if you’ve eaten nearby, been in a walk in the neighborhood or had an appointment at the nearby medical offices. I don’t know that I would go out of my way to come here but they will definitely come to mind next time I’m looking to purchase a cake :)

We went there the other day because an article in the November/December issue of Reno magazine said the owner had«recently started offering delicious house-made soups and croissant sandwiches» and said it was a good place«for a tasty lunch.» We asked about getting sandwiches, and the person behind the counter told us flatly that they didn’t sell them. In fact, she suggested we eat at Subway and return for dessert. Would it have killed her to explain that they tried serving sandwiches and gave up on it while the Reno magazine article was still current?(Why else would we have walked into a rum cake bakery and asked about sandwiches?) She didn’t even offer us a free sample of her desserts.

Cutest little coffee place ever! I was driving down and saw rum and coffee signs, and instantly stopped. Super sweet and beautifully decorated. Made me feel like I was at grandmas kitchen:) Bert the owner is super sweet and she makes the best rum cakes ever and has amazing coffee!

Grandma Bert is so sweet and her shop is really cute! It has a French theme with lovely decorations and is spacious with tables to relax and enjoy your coffee and sweet treat. My husband and I got two mini rum cakes and peanut brittle. Both were delicious! We live in the Bay Area and wish we had gotten an entire cake to savor. There were also cookies and brownies which we will try the next time we are in Nevada. Locals are so lucky!

It’s a cute new store on Moana. I stopped in on my way home from work to check it out. Right now she only has her rum cakes for sale. They come in three sizes– cupcake, mini bundt and a large 12 inch. She makes everything there in the store so the cakes are very fresh and moist. Bert, the owner, said will be have a special monthly cake and others as well as she gets the business going. There will be coffee available to have with your cake if you choose to eat it there. And she has a large selection of baskets and plates if you purchase is for a special gift. I was really impressed with how moist and flavorful the cupcake was that I had. And lived the large pieces of walnuts sprinkled on it. Watch out Nothing Bundt Cake– here some competition
