Frequently asked

Pick your treats on our Order page and check out securely through Square — the same payment system we use at our register. Your order is for same-day pickup at the shop, while supplies last. We'll have it boxed and waiting at the counter.

Any time before we close on the day you order — see our current hours up top. Everything is baked fresh that morning, so it'll be perfect whenever you arrive.

Small-batch baking means favorites can sell out — that's the price of fresh! Items marked "Sold Out Today" will return soon. Follow @dessertfirst217 to see what's in the case each morning.

For custom orders we recommend at least two weeks' notice — more for weddings and large events. Send an inquiry on our Custom Orders page and we'll confirm availability, design, and a quote.

Absolutely — cookie trays, donuts by the dozen, and dessert spreads for offices, parties, and gatherings are some of our favorite orders. Give us as much notice as you can (a week is wonderful for big orders) and tell us about it through our Custom Orders & Events page or by email at info@dessertfirst217.com — we'll make sure it's boxed, beautiful, and ready on time.

Our kitchen handles wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts daily, so we can't guarantee any item is allergen-free. If you have questions about a specific treat's ingredients, message us before ordering and we'll gladly help.

Right now all orders are picked up at the shop at 117 W. Sale St. in downtown Tuscola — it gives us a chance to say hello!

Online orders are paid by card through Square's secure checkout. In the shop we take cards and cash.
