Fireman Derek's Bake Shop

Overall, meh, not worth $12 for a slice of cake. The guava and cheese cake was good, not great... Peter Pan Diner has quality cakes and pies all homemade for $5-7... and why are no prices posted? Will it be $15 next time? When I asked the girl behind the counter she literally rolled her eyes before rambling off some numbers. And there's no coffee or tea option. You get Coke or chocolate milk options. All the cakes were pre sliced and stored in a fridge so you couldn't even see what you're buying. When I asked how big the slice was she said really generous. But literally CCF cake slices are bigger. Then the forced gratuity called "service charge" was an insult. One girl ran the computer and the other took the cake out of the fridge. We were the only 2 there. The place was freezing and we had to try to talk over the 2 girls laughing and talking loudly. What service did you provide that your hourly wage didn't cover? As a local, I like to support local... but not with over priced cake, bad service and forced gratuity. I'll buy a $12 publix cake next time and have leftovers.

I was exorbitantly charged $11 for a small piece of pastry that was already packaged in plastic and added a three dollar service fee for just picking it up from one end and handing it over to me from the counter. The price was so not worth it.

This is my favorite dessert spot to visit in Fort Lauderdale. The staffs are sweet, polite and attentive. My favorite pie is definitely the Dulce Banana ✨✨❤️ highly recommend

Went to this place looking for a recommended red velvet cake. We walked into the place and the staff never welcomes you. They stare at you and don’t even greet you back when you greet them. I ordered a piece of red velvet cake and was going to eat it in there. I felt so unwelcomed that I just packed my stuff and left. If I could rate no stars I would. Worse customer service I’ve ever experienced. Never going back.

Wow! The best. The guava white chocolate cookie was recommended last night and OMGOSH! The BEST cookie I’ve ever had hands down. The guys working were awesome. And the carrot cake is without question the absolute best carrot cake that exists. We’ve had a ton of slices from this place, and everything is off the charts delicious. The brownie!! Yum. Thank you for coming to Fort Lauderdale!

I never write reviews and I bake my own delicious cakes. I happened to a birthday party serving red velvet cake from Fireman Derek and basically I'll never bake my own red velvet again when this perfection exists! Well done!

Being completely honest, the pie was very good. Although pricey, you go to any restaurant (full service or fast casual) and you’re going to pay around $10 for a piece of quality pie or cake. What I wasn’t a fan of was that there are no prices posted anywhere in the shop (only reason I can assume is because the price of items must change frequently?) and the unfriendly service. We were the only people that walked in and there were 2 employees in the back. One of them came out and did not say 1 word to us. No “welcome in” or “what can I get for you?” He just stared at us until we ordered. If you’re going to add an automatic 10% “service charge” at least have friendly and welcoming staff. As someone who worked in the service/hospitality industry, charging the 10% service charge is unnecessary. People tip, especially with the type of point of sale system that this business uses.

I’d heard of this bakery in Wynwood-Miami and was driving by this location and gave it a shot. There is a display of cakes and pies and a small display of cookies next to the register. The items are also listed on the wall, however there is no pricing listed which is the scam this business is pulling along with an included 10% tip. I ordered the coconut cream pie slice which came to $8.99. It was a disappointing portion for that price. The taste was OK and nothing that would make me come back. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my in-laws who I don’t like much at all. Fireman Derek is giving a bad name to Firemen all over the country.

Great cake but $12 for a slice !!! That is obscene

10% mandatory service charge for serving an $11 slice of pie. Asked the employee, “Does this go to you”, response “I haven’t seen it”
