A fantastic Cafe that makes great meals! I would highly recommend stopping in, even if its only to get cake. I had the tomato pie, and beef stroganoff. The service was incredible, and the meals were great. The cake is incredible though, I tried the chocolate pecan, lemon blueberry, and banana pudding. There wasnt a bad option.

The food is very good, my favorites include the wings, crab dip,, pear salad, meatloaf, crab cakes, chicken pot pie ... but the cakes are something else. The chocolate chip cookie dough is amazing. Also German chocolate cake, red velvet and caramel apple pie and so many others to try. Pick the flavor you and like and chances are high that it will be great!!

What a very cool place to enjoy a lunch food was great but decor was the best part. I highly recommend taking the time to find this place.

If you havent tried Hayes Barton Cafeand Dessertery, you must. This super eclectic diner is decorated with memorabilia from the 1940s and has such a great atmosphere! The staff was super nice and the restaurant was clean. The food was so delicious! We got the:Beef Stroganoff - Egg noodles, filet tips in a mushroom sauce,Heirloom Tomato Pie - Buttery pie shell containing heirloom tomatoes and cheese, filet, and green beansNC Fish Stew - Grouper, clams, shrimp, scallops, succotash, heirlooms, bacon, and house stock. 👌👌👌And for dessert... Their famous cakes. The pictures here do not do it justice. We got the lemon blueberry with Cream cheese icing, the banana pudding and the chocolate pecan pie. All to die for!!!Give it a try if you are in the Raleigh area!

Wow! Such a cozy cute place with a great retro 1940s vibe. Food was great and the portions were HUGE! While my wife and I did enjoy the atmosphere and food we really have to talk about the cake. You may have had many a cake in your life but youve never had cakes like these. Gigantic slices baked to perfection with the proper combination of flavor and texture. While we ate we saw dozens of people come in and pick their called in cake orders as this place has quite the local reputation. We were so happy to find this little Cafe and learn what people in the five points area have known for a long time.... Theres no better cake than H&Bs!

The best for vintage vibe date night. Key lime martinis were a great way to start. Highly recommend the old school favorites of meatloaf and chicken pot pie. For more modern the pasta was great and they made it dairy free upon requesr. Also beans and rice was quite tasty. Save room for dessert its a must! We chose the key lime pie for a summer delight. Make reservations ahead of time to ensure you get a table.

Food is wonderful and the service impeccable! The only suggestion I would make is that the seats could be a little more comfortable but then wed never leave after the cake hits the tummy.Thank you!!

Great food.Great atmosphere. This is the place to go for the best cake and desserts in the city of Raleigh.

Went for dinner had the pork, mash potatoes, and green beans. Fantastic. Had the tiramisu and oreo cheesecake for dessert and it was phenomenal. The place is quite small I would recommend making a reservation if you have a large group. Also very dark inside but it’s part of the ambiance I suppose. Over all great! Would go again.

Just awesome. A go to for us. The baked spaghetti just tasty and delicious.Cannot say enough about food and service

Lovely pot pie, great taste great experience!

By far the tallest cake slices in Raleigh! More apples than I’ve ever seen crammed into one slice of pie!Features wonderful 50s diner vibe with very knowledgeable waitresses, who clearly take great pride in explaining the care and ingredients that went into each confection.Dessert for your eyes includes more classic black-and-white “old Hollywood” pictures than you could possibly appreciate in one visit.We will be back for sure, thanks ladies :)

Had a slice of Lemon Blueberry cake . It was ok. Only Real issue I had was the thickness of the icing on the slice of cake. It was we bit too much for me. It overpowered the actual cake.

Such a cool little place with a hometown feel. Not only was the staff friendly but the locals were just as nice. A gentleman bought my wife and I a slice of one of their desserts because we hadnt tried it before. We recommend you 🛑 by and visit and try their cookie dough cake!!

Located in the heart of the 5 points neighborhood opens at 6pm and youll find it quickly crowded with familiar and loyal fans for just reasons. Huge, delicious offerings. The meatloaf was firm, moist and sequestered on an island of homemade mashed potatoes and fresh and light green beans.Side basket of cornbread and biscuits made it complete.The porttion seem to work against the prospect of dessert, yet most people find the strength to order a giant $10.95 slice of pie or cake. And you should too.

Oh the comfort food! Dial M for Meatloaf...or get the pot pie. Great mashed potatoes. There is a vegetarian option. Reservations for parties of 4 or more, otherwise get in line (doors open@6) or just take your chances. One slice of cake serves 6... well 4 at least.

Visited Raleigh this past weekend and Hayes barton was suggested to me. Glad we went. Great food and atmosphere!!

I love picking up dessert for my family here. It is so much delicious cake. We love you

This is a destination Dessertery for cakes, and an experience like no other. Weve been going for years!

Easily a contender for best cake in the state, if not the entire country.

I used to live in Raleigh and never ate at this place. I met some friends for lunch on a visit and regret that I had not been there before. The grilled pimento cheese was a nice welcome back to the south. The cakes were out of this world.

Went on a Saturday and by 6:30 there was a wait and only one slice of Oreo cheesecake (my sole reason for trying this place.) I thought: theres two untouched keylime pies--that cant be the last slice of Oreo (it was). We were expecting milkshakes and fries but there are different menus for the time of day.You get a strange mixture of at least 6 small pieces of bread. Im not sure when it disappeared from the table but there were at least 4 pieces left so that was a waste. (Wasnt a fan of the pimemto cheese corn bread.)By the time we were ready to box up our comically large serving of pot pie and carrot chocked meatloaf there were few options for deserts so you might want to order that before you eat. The interior is small so its not the kind of place you want to walk into without expecting to wait; seems like they take reservations. Its also pretty easy to feel like you need to rush to help shorten the wait for others.All in all the food was good and the host was charming. I didnt get the impression that there were any biases towards guests of different backgrounds.Cake pictured is the Heath bar one. Would personally prefer a more cake and Heath to the mostly icing ratio but the cake itself was moist.

Best food and atmosphere. Great staff!

One of my absolute favorite places in the triangle! Always delicious food, friendly staff, fantastically decorated, and I adore the music! Desserts are a whole fabulous deal, and many come in just to pick up their favorite slice of pie or cake to go. I recommend getting your dessert to go, even if you plan to eat it there, because its going to take you about three days to eat it anyway! The host (manager?) even opens the door for you in a suit/tie that gives this classy joint the introduction it deserves. Its a well-run business all around, and its always a joy to come here! Just make sure to make reservations; its in high demand!

This is the best restaurant in Raleigh. We have been eating here for years and shared many special occasions with friends and family. The owners and staff are some of the best you can hope to meet. The special menu is almost always the way to go but some of the menu standbys are sublime. Hints. Mussels, chopped salad, meatloaf. Enjoy.

Hayes Barton grilled cheese ham sandwich!

Do you know that exciting feeling when youve lived in a place for a while but discover a new hidden gem? Tonight some friends suggested we check out Hayes Barton for an epic slice of cake. Weve been in Raleigh for nearly 2 years - How had we never heard of this place before?! The unassuming Hayes Barton Café & Dessertery is a 1940s-themed diner and cake shop that feels like an institution, yet its only been serving up food since 1998. Named after the Hayes Barton neighborhood, which includes the nearby Hayes Barton Pharmacy opened since the 1930s, this place has a laundry list of homemade cakes dished out in huge slices in a cozy space that will have you yearning for days gone by. We got a slice of the blueberry lemon cake to share! It was good, not too sweet and the portion was enough for us to have some and take some home. If you live in the Raleigh area or visit, check this place out or take a friend or family visiting from out of town. Its sure to give you all the nostalgic feels.Additional tid bits you should know:1. Parking is street parking which can be a challenge, if you have an appointment to meet here, do give yourself time to find a parking space and walk if needed.2. While it was recommended to us to go here for cake, it does appear that there are a number of people dining in for a full meal. We cannot speak to the quality of food outside of the cake in the present review. However, due to the small space and myriad of diners, it was quickly packed at 8:30 on a Saturday night. If you are going to just get cake, you can get it to stay or go. Line up in the queue for the cashier at the cake counter to the left upon entering. The line moved quickly and we got our slice of cake in a to-go container. However, by luck, in no time, a small table freed up and the host was happy to sit us and provide water and proper place settings for our albeit short time devouring our slice of cake. If you come with a larger party and are hoping to be seated, you may face more obstacles in your pursuit.3. You know this is a good place because speaking with the people in line, they had all been there before. One man who was buying cake said he lives across the street and has gotten cake many times. He recommended the coconut cake.4. The actual list of cakes fills an 8.5 × 10 piece of paper, however, when we were there many options were blacked out. We still had easily between 7-10 options, so we arent sure if we were missing any of the more spectacular cakes. All this to say, do be prepared that they may run out of something!5. Its *not* THE MOST AMAZING CAKE youve ever had, but its pretty darn good and, moreover, the whole thing is an experience- enjoy it!

The BEST cake I’ve ever had. I’ve been to dozens of bakeries and never had cake this good. Price is higher than other establishments but the so is the portion so it definitely works out. Always got the slices to-go so can’t really comment on customer service as a dine-in customer and never had their food.

The cakes are a must try. Delicious.

The food is great and the portions are huge. Best chicken pot pie around. The restaurant is small and usually very busy so be prepared for a little bit of a wait. Its worth it though! The food is delicious!

We have been visiting Hayes Barton sin e we first moved here from Australia, 19 years ago. The owners Frank and Marget are lovely and the food has never failed to please (the mussels are a family favorite). Of course, if you are dining there or taking food to go, you must not forget dessert, for which they are renowned. We had the oreo cheesecake last week, and it was delicious! We always try and take family who are visiting to eat there too, as it is a great combination of cozy environment, wonderful customer service, and fabulous food!

Wonderful comfort foods on the menu. Friendly staff. The cakes are humongous. And delicious

Gigantic. Awesome. Pie & Cake.1hr wait for inside, had to get it to go.

This place has the most incredible cakes! Decadent doesnt even begin to describe them. Get there early because once theyre gone, they get crossed off the menu. Cool atmosphere in what looks like an old officers club straight out of WWII. We can only eat the cake about once every couple of months. Any more than that and youre destined to discover type III diabetes.

Just got take out for a slice of cake. Got the coconut yellow cake. Very fresh and moist. One slice is more than enough for two people. And the price is better than other restaurants. This is what is left over after one portion was taken.

Back after year. So good to see Frank.Food outstanding as usual. Cake selection down but have to understand constraints of Covid. Just best

Amazing as usual. Thanks to the Ballards and their great crew.

Amazing desserts and cozy 50s diner ambience! The complimentary banana and corn breads were awesome as well! Great service.

We cant get enough of this place. Come early or you wont get a seat. It is a small place with the best food and desserts in Raleigh. If you dont come in time to get a table, simply order a slice of cake from the dessert bar.

A jewel of Raleigh, this place has a true soul. Legendary desserts, you wont find anything like this anywhere else in town. Even post pandemic, the team is taking great efforts to create an atmosphere where guests feel safe. The meatloaf, wedge salad and mussels are definitely favorites.

I’ve never had Hayes Barton but I’ve always wanted to try their cake. Due to the pandemic, we haven’t been to any restaurants and have only been using delivery services. When I called to inquire about the types of cake they have, as Postmates instructed me to, the women who answered the phone was incredibly rude and cut me right off. She said they will refuse any order placed on Postmates. In that case I asked if they used any delivery service, and she said no and continued to lecture me.So, if you’re refusing orders from Postmates, get your business off Postmates. I understand why restaurants would not want to use these services as they do take a large percentage. That’s not my issue here, it was the aggressive and uncalled for tone she used with me, someone who wanted to patronize their business.I’m sure their cakes are amazing, but I will never know because of this horrible (first) experience. I’ll be sure to steer other friends and family away from Hayes Barton who are looking for good restaurants to try in Raleigh.

Wonderful experience as always. Thank for treating us like we were the only ones there. Love you guys. Crushing some coconut cake late night!

You dont lack for food and its very good. So is the service.

Awesome cakes!

I dont just hand out 5 star reviews. And honestly I didnt expect to give one here. But the Tomato Pie, Filet, Crab Dip, and Meatloaf were a total blast from the past and with the wait. Ill gladly comeback here over and over again.

We went for lunch and it was excellent. The atmosphere reminds me of an old diner. The staff were incredibly friendly and pleasant. The did was good and each dessert is enough for 3 or 4 people. The biggest issue is trying to find parking near the restaurant.

Love the atmosphere. Really cool 40s decore, nice and cozy restaurant. Definitely came in at the busy time but we got seated rather quickly. Food was amazing and massive portion. Ordered the chicken pot pie and it was def not disappointing. Tho next time were sharing the food because we couldnt finish half of our food

Unbelievable!! Small, quaint, eatery attached to a pharmacy. Make a reservation or be in line before 6 p.m. when the doors open. Menu is a combination of locally sourced comfort food and creative dishes. I had grouper, white peas, whipped potatoes, and fried okra...a little bit of heaven on as plate. Friends had the meatloaf, family recipe, that I would love to have in my recipe file.. its that good. Great ice tea, not as easy to find as you would think. Desserts are off the chart, picture decadent cakes 10 inches high filled with delicious fruits or creams or custards or........ we split a peanut butter cream cake with dark chocolate icing and a seasonal white pound cake with peach filling and cream cheese icing- yes. To die for is an apt description!

Love this place!! Great Food and HUGE deserts.

A lot of choices for huge 🍰. Will definitely come back to try their other flavors

Great amount of food and the food is delicious.. The cake is awesome 💞

Easily my favorite restaurant in Raleigh since I was a kid. Best food and desserts in town, but our server was mediocre at best. She sat down at the table next to us a majority of our meal and maybe came to our table three times the whole meal. Another server was excellent and he paid great attention to us. Won’t stop us from going back, but as someone that has been in the service industry for a long time, I hoped for better service.

Went for my birthday last week. Excellent service and food. We ordered a lot and it was all delicious. All four of us ordered the filet, and it was perfectly cooked. Still dreaming of the cakes. Can’t wait to go back!

A classic lunch counter diner. I had a BLT that was packed with bacon and tomato. It was absolutely delicious. But the best thing about the place, their cakes. Theyre tall, dense and outrageously good. I would go back just for a slice of cake

My wife and I went here for our Anniversary. The place is cozy and decorated like a hipster style 50s diner. I really like it. We started with the iceberg wedge salad which was great then had some of the specials on the menu. My wife went with the almond crusted cod which she devoured. I had the fried chicken with calabash on whipped potatoes. Pretty much the best fried chicken Ive ever had. But you dont go to Hayes for the entrees its all about the deserts at this place. Towering 18inch cakes are what you see when you first walk in and you will want one. I ordered the cookie dough cake and my wife got the brownie batter cake. Even though we are married we both wanted to turn the lights down low put on some mood music and have a intimate moment with our desserts. They were so good and totally worth 5 stars by themselves. The service at this place is great and we will definitely be back again. What I would suggest is going with 4 people so you can make a reservation before hand and guarantee you have a seat. The place gets crowded quickly and can really only hold about 20-25 people at one time.Read less

We had a fantastic dinner again. We have missed the great food that Frank and his wife provide since moving out of the area. I had the chicken special instead of my favorite meatloaf and was not disappointed. And the cakes... Be sure to order your pieces of cake when you first get there.

If you want the best cake in Raleigh, this is where to go. Cant beat it. Try a few!

Absolutely the best cake in the state! I would almost say its the best dessert you can have in Raleigh! The cakes are delicious and rich. I have never tasted such divine slice of heaven in my life. You absolutely must get a slice, its the perfect way to end a diet. If this place ever got door dash, Id go broke. You cant truly enjoy Raleigh until you have tried cake here!

The atmosphere is so unique. Frank personally seats you and the place is always crowded. The food is hearty and perfectly cooked every time. Delightfully chaotic. I love this place.

Cake. By the ocean.

Tasting the coconut cake is a spiritual experience!

Always popular, a bit noisy, great food served quickly. Staff is very friendly and pleasant even when everything is way crowded. Have a giant sized slice of cake -- cant go wrong with any selection.

We went back to the Hayes Barton Pharmacy grill after not going for a while. The cafe is in the back of the pharmacy and is a real throwback to a classic diner, down to the photos of old celebrities and world war II soldiers and sailors. We both had the burgers - delicious hamburgers and fries - nothing fancy just good. I wish wed had more room for desserts. The cakes and pies looked amazing.

We didnt have reservations but they were able to seat us. It was a very nice dinner and we really enjoyed our evening.

Its all about the CAKE!! Its so incredible in fact, that we had their coconut cake for our wedding! Go get a piece and you will see what we mean.And while youre there try their amazing food as well!

This is truly one of Raleighs gems. I have only eaten a full dinner here a few times (the meat loaf is amazing), but every time has been great. The service and food is outstanding. But...The cakes, my God the cakes. If you can eat a whole slice I would be impressed. They are pricey, but absolutely worth it. We usually stop by as they are opening to get some cake for a little later. I have had at least 5-6 types and all are the best I have ever had for that type of cake. I dont think you will ever be disappointed with any of them.One piece of advice, get there early to make sure you get a good selection, as their cakes sell out throughout the evening.

Gosh I love this place. Best milkshakes ever. Definitely worth a visit on a hot day!

Good pork medallions, great award-winning coconut cake, and fast service. A homey environment with the restaurant’s history all over the walls, it certainly felt like a great spot for a nice, casual bite to eat in Five Points. We had high hopes from the get-go because of the ample amount of good reviews. I live fairly close by, love the neighborhood, and it seemed like a place I would eat at again later, perhaps with my spouse or visiting friends, etc.I wish I could leave it at that, but only in an attempt to leave an honest review for others, and in hopes the management would try to avoid this next time, I’ll share the unfortunate part of the experience, too.We felt rushed from the start by our (to be fair - otherwise kind) waiter who came to our table so frequently to check on our next move that it was pretty obvious she didn’t want us to take our time and enjoy the meal. Then, at the end of the meal, soon after we paid, the manager stopped by with a brief greeting, and asked us to “do him a favor”, telling us he needed our table because he had a big party waiting. Indirectly but oh so obviously, he was asking us to leave. Not even an “I’m sorry to have to ask this”, or an “I appreciate you choosing to dine with us”, not even an offer of one measly slice of complimentary pie to ease the fact that he had just asked customers to leave for no good reason except that he wanted to more comfortably fit in some later arriving party. We are all respectful and friendly people, and we had already tipped well after buying big entrees, drinks, and desserts (5 desserts for a table of 4, I’d add), and none of us made even a little bit of fuss. No weird extra requests, no complaints. I can objectively say we were pretty good customers to have. However, we’re also not going to stay where we aren’t wanted, so we just left and spent more money getting more drinks elsewhere.In my several years working in restaurants, I have never EVER told a customer to leave or even heard another coworker or manager do so. (The exceptions being obvious - i.e. a customer outright harassing someone.) My issues with this are many in number:1. Incredibly tacky and rude to ask your customers to leave because you didn’t plan your reservations well. So if you make that call, at least express some self-awareness and apology. One “sorry” and slice of free pie could’ve made a world of difference.2. It was a special occasion (a birthday) for which we made a reservation in advance. We had been there for an hour and a half, and were already wrapping things up, had paid, etc. I don’t think it’s unreasonable that we would stay there for that amount of time, or even if we had stayed for two hours since we had paid for multiple courses and extra beverages. I might’ve sympathized a little more if we had only had water and some light food, and sat around for an hour after.With all that being said, I don’t really feel like we should need to justify. I merely included all the fine details so you, the potential customer of this business, could make a more informative decision about where you’d like to pay to eat. And hopefully, you, the manager of this business, better plan your reservations and avoid asking good customers to leave.

Seems like your average 50s diner during the day, but at night it becomes a five-star restaurant with some of the best desserts in Raleigh

Today I arrived at 11:10, I was early but a woman walked out of the store and the door was unlocked so I went inside. I was told by a lady at the counter they were not open and I needed to wait outside. I apologized and waited outside. I wanted the 20 minutes with about 20 people outline. When it became 11:30. I opened the door and there were 5 people in line waiting inside. I and others who were told to wait outside were upset because they lady served those people first.

This place is great. Got here around 620 pm for dinner, had a 45 minute wait. The host took our jackets and was very curious. My girlfriend ordered the meatloaf and it was huge, enough to feed two or three. Tasted great along with the mashed potatoes. I had the burger, 1/2 lb and was also good. Reminds me of a diner. Good atmosphere. Great food. Will be coming back. This place has been packed since it opened and has not slowed down. Dont let that scare you, service was also great and very timely.

Amazing desserts. They all look good. Peanut butter pie and blueberry lemon pound cake could not have been better.

Truly a great atmosphere. Fantastic entrees with even better desserts. Definitely come here for a birthday...trust me 😄

What a treat! This pharmacy/hometown 5 points eatery is a treasure! I had not been to this place in about 4 years, and it was just as good or better. Terrific sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts. Pleasant atmosphere conducive for conversation. Very attentive staff. Sandwich easily converted to their pimento cheese homemade and Farmers Market tomatoes. Heaven for lunch.

I love this place. It is hard to get into though. Be sure to show up early if you want to eat here. If not, you could always cross the street to the Hayes Barton Crafty Beers shop and the restaurant will call you when your table is ready. Their food is fantastic. I recommend the chicken pot pie. Also, the cake there is incredible. Great old school vibe.

Just moved to Raleigh and this place is awesome! I’ve been to many restaurants all over the nation and this is in my top five. Great food and great service and music.

Ive had enjoyable times here and love the theme, but the owner is very pretentious and service is rushed and inattentive. The cakes are beautiful but dont taste as good as they look and its shocking to believe that you can go to Second Empire or Bloomsbury Bistro for the same price as these overpriced meals.

This is another one of those restaurants that I always get the same thing when I go there...meatloaf. Typically I hate meatloaf, but Hayes Barton has a secret recipe that is out of this world. Plus there are the amazing desserts!

Great food and even better dessert! Wonderful atmosphere. Must go if visiting Raleigh.

Great food with a WW2 motif. The meatloaf with brown gravy will never let you down. The burgers are excellent, too. Really, most anything on the menu is worth ordering. Dont forget to save room for desert. The cakes and pies are some of the best in the state.

This small locally owned neighborhood place has been one of my favorites for the past 15 years, The service is great, the food homey and delicious. Save room for a fabulous dessert. A Raleigh treasure!

Quaint neighborhood feel with some of the best food ever experienced! You can literally smell the delicious baked goods as you walk down the street!Note- dinning room room is small so you really need to make a reservation for dinner. You need to have 4 or more people to reserve a table.

I absolutely LOVE this place. There isnt one item on the menu that isnt delicious, and the desserts are some of the best in Raleigh. I would highly recommend this place to anyone...

It stays busy here so know there will likely be a wait for lunch, but it is worth the wait! The staff is amazing and the food is good but the CAKES are worth everything!!!

We enjoyed a wonderful piece of cake for dessert. This is a must do in Raleigh and arrive early to ensure getting a piece of cake that youll like.

Just had an amazing surprise wedding here tonight! The appetizers were delicious. The ambience wonderful and the owners were the perfect hosts! Cant wait to come back for dinner. You wont regret it!

Quaint cafe with excellent food and nostalgic decor!!!

This is an amazing little spot with a cozy atmosphere. The food is top-notch, and the staff are always so welcoming. The desserts are out of this world. This is the perfect date night location.

The cakes from Hayes Barton are absolutely to die for. They are as decadent and delicious as the come and well worth stopping by for a slice. I can’t help but drop anytime I’m even somewhat nearby.

Lunch is delicious, efficient and served with a smile. There are daily specials, milkshakes and floats. Desserts are available to eat in and take out at lunch as well and they are some of the best you can find in Raleigh. The lemon-blueberry is one of my personal favorites. Dinner is southern comfort at its best. Daily specials will keep the regulars coming back for something new or an old favorite. Salads are fresh and well thought out. The mussels are some of my favorite in the city and with a nice oaky chard are paired well. Portions are large and you will have enough meatloaf to make yourself a sandwich for lunch the next day. The hospitality from host staff, service and bar are top notch and remind you that every city has its secrets.

This is an exception place. Ive never been anywhere with such a friendly, accommodating and delicious experience. My wife and I have popped into Hayes a few times just for cake but thought we would stop in the other night and grab dinner too. We didnt have a reservation and they were booked all night. They were so kind and worked us in. The meal was incredible. The best steak and tomato pie (seasonal special). The atmosphere is second to none, so nostalgic. I highly recommend Hayes without any reservations. You will have a great time there and you will NOT be disappointed.

Been the lucky recipient of Frank & Margets hospitality for almost 20 years now. And Eve, an incomparable bartender and friend for almost as long. You absolutely cannot go wrong with the food, desserts and atmosphere of Hayes Barton.

Such a delightful way to turn back time. This cafe was full of yesterdays all in the decor and full of todays in the food! Excellent cuisine and atmosphere. We lucked out and got the window seats and watched as patrons lined the walk for a famous slice of cake . For something unique and familiar come here.

FANTASTIC experience at Hayes Barton, the cakes we had were amazing and we adored the aesthetic of the joint. Staff is kind, the cafe is clean and organized. Clearly a very well managed establishment. Will definitely come again.

Love, love, love this place. The Staff is very friendly and attentive. Dinner was excellent. Oh and the dessert! Our favorite is German chocolate cake. Absolutely, the best.It is a very cozy, neighborly feel. We definitely will be back with friends and family.

Locally owned. The husband is super cool. His wife is an amazing chef. Get a slice of cake or pie. You wont regret it.

The cake is delicious! We always get the chocolate brownie peanut butter one. Never had the food. Parking can be hard, but we have parked at the surrounding businesses after they are closed. Haven’t had dinner here yet, but will update if we do.

Had a good lunch. Amazing looking cakes. Polite and professional staff. I had a bologna, chili and cheese sandwich that was different, but really good and probably bad for my cholesterol. Would definitely go back.

While the desserts here were excellent, the service my party received was not. A few of our party of 5 arrived late and, as we sat down, the host came over and told us we had 15 minutes before they needed to clear the bar for waiting customers. We were underdressed and more international compared to their other patrons. I have never been asked to leave a restaurant for any reason and we were paying customers too. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this establishment. If you believe customers should be treated fairly regardless of color or social status, you might consider another business for your dessert fix.

Holy wow at the cakes. A group of us had been at a different restaurant for dinner, wanted cake, and a local told us about this place, and it definitely didnt disappoint! We ended up with 8 pieces of different cakes, all of which were to die for. Will definitely be going back when were in this area.
