My wife and I have literally spent thousands at this place for several cakes a year, baked goods, cookies, our wedding cake several years back - you name it. They've never messed up an order, and while they do charge out the nose for things, you know it's money well spent. Everything we order always gets raves from the people we serve it to - no exceptions. However, am I the only one to realize that these people just love being the ""it"" bakery? Sure, I've had some great customer service at this place, but going as much as I have, there are certain women who work there that just love telling people what Deerfield's will and will not do, how much it will be, how many limitations there are, etc, etc. Everyone knows this place's reputation and just jumps through the hoops, and while I think it's worth it to a degree (or I wouldn't return - yet another fact Deerfield's realizes), I have to keep telling myself it's just a bakery - nothing made of eggs and sugar is worth all the snobbery.
Pros: The best baked goods and cake around. Period.
Cons: A few snobby employees (usually the ones that had nothing to do with the quality of the goods)
