What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"There was no one better to make my wedding cakes than Olexa’s. ❤️ Diane was actually my very first boss when I was 15—her mother (Marilyn) hired me, and they taught me everything I know about hospitality and excellence. Getting to have her create my wedding cakes all these years later was such a full-circle moment. They were beyond beautiful and tasted even better. Thank you, Diane, for being part of my story then and now—you made our day even sweeter. 🍰✨"
"I recently had the honor of meeting the young, amazing cake designer who made my son and daughter in law’s GORGEOUS VINTAGE WEDDING CAKE on Saturday, October 11,2025! Not only was this cake so beautiful, it was positively delicious and enjoyed by all! Thank you, NATE, for sharing your extraordinary talent! When I went to return the gorgeous, gold tray that I rented from Olexa’s, I had the honor of also meeting and sharing with Betty and Alisha! These are wonderful ladies who are such a strategic part of the amazing team that makes Diane Olexa’s restaurant so very special, intimate, and certainly, delicious!!! I loved every bite of my fabulous lunch there with my best friend and had Payton as our wonderful waitress who made sure that our dining experience was delicious and memorable! I can assure you, Diane, that your beloved parents are smiling down upon you for the beautiful legacy you continue in their loving memory and honor in helping make such precious memories for others, including my son, his wife, me, my family and friends, in serving such delicious food and beautiful desserts and cakes! With sincere gratitude, Elisa C."
"Olexa’s never disappoints. This beautiful cake was crafted especially for my family and gifted to us to enjoy the day of my mother’s funeral. Not only was it beautiful with all of her names on it, It was extremely moist and the icing was perfectly sweet and balanced! Family from Mississippi and others raved about it. It is hands down our favorite cake!!!"
"I went here for lunch on a Monday. The restaurant had a nice interior and cool cakes on display. I ordered the beef and cheddar chipotle panini with chips. I thought the sandwich tasted good but needed more meat. The chips were good, nothing I haven’t had before though. I also had the vanilla and chocolate cakes for desert. Both were super good and fresh. Personally I think the chocolate was better because it was the right amount of sweetness and richness. The staff were friendly and service was quick. Good spot to grab lunch but also a good spot to just get a nice cake."
"Olexa’s is such a quaint, beautiful restaurant and my husband and I truly enjoyed our time there for dinner last night. Brittany, Alicia, & Ellie (I hope I’m remembering their names correctly 😅) were an absolute delight to be around and were so sweet! I can’t talk more about how friendly and inviting the staff was. Food wise, I truly don’t think you can go wrong. We shared the cheese appetizer and I almost licked the bowl. I had the seafood crepe and my husband got the daily trio. It was a perfect amount of food, the sandwiches and crepes were so good, we were almost sad we didn’t have left overs. The CAKE! Listen, this bakery specializes in cake and I understand why. They don’t offer a lot of options, but the ones they do are to PERFECTION! Soft, slightly crumbly, sweet fillings and the slices are definitely shareable between 2, unless you really have a sweet tooth, then don’t share 🤣 I can’t recommended this place enough! They do lunch and dinner, the place feels like an outdoor European cafe and that is right up my alley in terms of atmosphere."
"The coffee tasted plain, with little bitterness or sweetness to stand out. The aroma was faint, barely noticeable. Service was quick but impersonal...."
