This place is awesome. The cupcakes are inventive and delicious. I would subsist on Mia Bella cupcakes if it were at all life-sustaining to eat only cupcakes. This is a must visit.

The savory hand pies are an absolute must. The crust is a wonder. I've considered getting a job there just learn how they make that crust. Our family takes an impressive array of hand pies and whole chicken pot pies home when they visit.
