Gala Cafe Bakery - Mount Pleasant

Very peaceful atmosphere. Delicious treats and iced tea. Very helpful staff.Food: 5/5

Very rude women working there with the grey hair streak! The salad was really sweet and tasted like it came from a salad kit. The coffee cake was DRY! And they were super rude about dogs! I would highly recommend going across the street to vintage coffee, old post house in, or the brown fox instead! The rude service was awfulFood: 1/5

Emailed and called several times to try and coordinate a baby shower 2 months in advance (March) so that I could prep the invitations for out-of-town guests. As I always try and support local businesses, this would have been an easy $3000+ event that just required responsiveness. Received 1 email and no follow-up/calls and was extremely disappointed in their lack of care and unprofessionalism. Don't waste your time trying to give them business.Fast forward to my actual baby shower, I had over 60+ people at Shem Creek and spent over $3000 for a 3hr baby shower event overlooking the water.

We had mini desserts from Gala for our wedding, and they were a huge success! I've never seen an entire dessert table disappear so quickly, with everyone raving about how delicious they were! We also stopped by with our grandparents for coffee and sandwiches, and the service and food were fantastic then as well. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

The pastries are fantastic, and the ambiance is charming. The staff during the weekdays are excellent, but on weekends, it seems they struggle to keep up with the demand, leading to long wait times. I saw three groups leave before anyone came to take their orders. The staff were slow and easily distracted. They definitely need to increase their staffing during busy periods.
