The 43 best cake shops and cake bakeries in Cincinnati

We had my daughter’s first birthday and I knew I wanted your cookies for the party. Katy did a fabulous job on these, they were perfect! Everyone always comments on her work and how yummy they taste! I have used 3 Sweet Girls Cakery for many special events & will continue to! Thank you for always making the best cookies/desserts and having great customer service 😊🩷

I have been in a few times in the past few months. Everything that I have got from here has been amazing. My kids love their cupcakes, my favorite has been an edible cookie dough jar. I’m a sucker for cookie dough. But this past week I won the Free Cake Friday. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and it made me not want to cut into it. But I did! And I have to say it was hands down the best cake I’ve ever had. Highly recommend checking out their goodies. You can’t go wrong with anything there.

Came in picked up cake💕 Paid 110$ cake feeds 4-7 ppl they said. Cake appeared small but when you cut into it the cake goes deep. The girl at the desk was very helpful and took care of the minor issue I had which was adding more glitter. I love the inside of the store and the outside of the store very pretty spot/ location. They also have cup cakes and cookies inside that u can just walk in and purchase. They seem to stay a lil busy their were at-least 3 customers that walked in for goodies and one came in asking about cakes. They are a bit pricy but I would recommend this place to others. Also, be sure to give great details when placing orders.

Super easy to communicate with and friendly. I like their website set up and process for custom designs after that. Everyone (all 24 people) LOVED the taste and the cake ingredients received so many compliments on top of the design. It did seem on the pricier end from my previous purchases elsewhere, but I was proud to have my money go to such a wholesome company that is family based. Would highly recommend.

I had a big Birthday this year and my kids ordered a special cake from me. My daughter has enjoyed 3 Sweet Girls Cakery in the past, so she contacted them with her request. They baked a cake that was just delicious and beyond Awesome! I loved it, as did our guests! Thank you so much for helping make my Birthday so Wonderful!

Hi I have been on and off the keto diet for years just to keep my weight off and I have to to tell you I’ve never had anything so good as the keto treats at three girls bakery! One treat fills you up like a meal. It’s just too good to be true.! Thank you for creating a keto, friendly sweet treat that works for my lifestyle!

10/10 would never buy speciality cookies from this place again. I spent a decent amount of money on these speciality cookies for my sister in laws baby shower & they tasted like water & flour, absolutely no sugar or flavor. I feel so embarrassed sending these home with my guests as party favors & throwing out the rest. Crafted nicely, but as far as taste. Not worth the money.

Popped in on my way through the area. Opted for lunch instead of afternoon tea since my travels made a specific reservation time difficult. I ordered a small pot of Earl Grey and a goat cheese chicken panini. The tea was delicious. The sandwich arrived at the table hot and was absolutely fantastic. My companion ordered the Cobb salad and loved it. I was very impressed with the high quality of the food. It was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. Our sever did a great job... attentive and very pleasant even though we arrived late in the day, just an hour before closing. I'll be so pleased if my travels bring me back this way so I can return to this lovely café.

We got a small wedding cake here and it was so perfect and so delicious. The tastings were set up so well (and really showcased the available flavors). We'll definitely be coming back again each year on our anniversary

Their desserts are always fresh and delicious. It's one of the few places where I can find macrons that aren't stale. I really like the birthday cake macarons and turtle brownies.

Delicious food ! We ate in the cafe on a Tuesday....had wanted to do tea but were too late trying to book one so that will be for next time. I ordered the lunch tea sandwiches which comes with some pastry from the bakery and tea. Excellent! Our service was great also. We also purchased more sweets from the bakery. (The opera cake is fantastic.) It's a bit tight in the cafe and noisy but it's popular so understandable. Had a great lunch!

Downstairs from the bakery is their lovely cafe and tea room. Well worth the individual trip or before visiting their bakery. A huge variety of of teas, coffees and light meals from breakfast to lunches. We had the BEC, grilled cheese, spring wrap and the Spanish quiche. All were excellent. The atmosphere was great and the service was efficient and “southern friendly.” Definitely worth the drive to have this wonderful experience.

The BonBonerie created the amazing cake and dessert bar for our wedding. They were amazing throughout the entire process and made everything a breeze! Our cake and desserts were delicious and a hit with all of our wedding guests.

The BonBonerie wedding team knocked it out of the park with our wedding cake. Our colors were jewel tone rainbow. We sent them some inspiration and then picked out a design, and it turned out better than we could have imagined- and of course was delicious! We had a mix of Opera Crème and White Chocolate Romance.

We used Happy Chicks Bakery for our wedding cake, and I truly cannot say enough good things about them. First and foremost, the cake was absolutely delicious. We’re not just talking “it looked nice but tasted okay,” either. I’m (bride) not even a huge cake person and loved every bite. We had about 70 guests (vendors included), and by the end of the night, all ~100 servings of our 3-tiered, 3-flavor cake were completely gone. That’s how good it was. We got so many compliments about how amazing the cake tasted. On a more personal note, I have a peanut and tree nut allergy, and Happy Chicks was one of the very few bakeries in the area who were not only willing to work with us, but also made me feel genuinely safe. Their transparency, care, and clear communication meant a lot. I never felt like I had to compromise or “settle” because of my allergy. They helped us design a cake that was both safe and stunning. 10/10 would recommend, enough that we plan to occasionally stop by the bakery for cupcakes just to have some again!

Absolutely delicious croissants!!! Loved my sandwich, and my friend ate hers with strawberry jam. Positively decadent! Crispy, soft, and sweet. Perfect mid day treat. Decently priced as well for how vegan places go. We arrived late, so missed most of the baked goods but, can’t wait to try the scones during my next trip :) <3

Amazing bakery, awesome staff. Delicious and beautiful event cakes. Sooo happy with the fun art they made for my baby's birthday <3

Visiting The Queen City from STL and I am always on the lookout for a solid vegan bakery. Happy Chicks does not disappoint. The woman behind the counter was super friendly and helpful (even though it was the end of the day and I'm sure she wanted to get out of there). The Bourbon Cherry cupcake deserves a thumbs up, but it was the olive oil cookie that made me want to turn my car around and clean them out. Not too sweet and the olive oil flavor really shined. A+ guys!

We chose Happy Chicks Bakery for our wedding cake and were very pleased with the cake! They use high quality, natural ingredients and make such unique, creative flavors. We decided to have our 4 tiered wedding cake with different flavors: yellow dragon, Marrakech carrot, lavender lime and caramel chocolate stout. In addition, we got cupcakes for these 4 flavors to supplement. Everything was so delectable and the guests loved them! They are very communicative and try to accommodate your requests. I recommend doing a sample taste test so you can decide which of the flavors you like! We had wafer flowers for cake decorations and they added them to our cake. Everything was wonderful, and we highly recommend Happy Chicks Bakery for your wedding and any other events!!

Vegan baked goods tend to fall into one of two categories. They’re either 1.) amazing or 2.) “I’ll eat it because it’s in front of me and it’s vegan.” Happy Chicks cupcakes fall into the second category. I’ve tried their products several times over many years and I keep on hoping it’s going to be different but it never is. I don’t know they use bananas or flaxseed as binder but the cupcakes are way too dense and kinda bland.

We got a small cake for our wedding celebration and it was beautiful and so tasty! Amazing customer service. We tried a couple of their cupcakes to test out flavors and those were incredible also. Definitely recommend and we will be going back!

I can not say enough amazing things about Tres Belle. My doctors office messed up on our bloodwork and I called the shop packing and crying and they were able to work with us to still make the cake but a week later. Pick up was a breeze and they helped me to my car. The cake was amazing and never got stale. I will be recommending to everyone and will be back for little mans birthdays for years to come!

Tres Belle in Reading made the most amazing wedding cake we could’ve ever imagined! We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding cake they had ever eaten — people were asking for the name of the bakery all night and even after the wedding! From start to finish, the whole experience was wonderful. The take-home cake tasting box was such a fun and unique touch, and we loved being able to try everything at home together. We had multiple consultations to make sure every detail was exactly what we wanted, and our cake designer, Jennifer, went above and beyond — she even added a few special extras just to make sure it was perfect. They gave thoughtful recommendations, never tried to oversell us, and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. We chose a mix of chocolate cake with black raspberry ganache and black raspberry chip cake with chocolate buttercream — it reminded everyone of Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chip ice cream! 10/10 (actually 10,000/10!) — we are so happy we chose Tres Belle and would recommend them to absolutely anyone!

Always does an AMAZING job with our cakes. From our wedding, to baptism, to first birthday and smash cake🥰 here is the latest work of art. Love this place and always get told how great the cake tastes and how pretty it is.

We discovered another dining gem in Reading!!! My sister and I did a little Earth Day project in Reading recently that took us right by the front window of Tres Belle Cakes. We each said that we'd never been in there and decided that we would return at the completion of the project. So, we did. Sandy greeted us as we came through the door, making us feel "right at home" in a place we'd never been. She is warm and welcoming, and so easy to talk with. We probably could have stayed much longer; there was so much more information we could have covered! But an important part of the conversation was what was in the display case. We could easily have taken "one of everything" since it ALL looked delicious. But we settled on just a "few": Two glazed cake donuts, the kind that are firmly-soft on the inside with the outside edges crisped-up with the glaze for a nice contrast. Four cupcakes: Coconut; German Chocolate; Strawberries and Cream; and Pistachio. A mini bread pudding. And, Biscoff Cheesecake Bars (which was super delicious). There are hot drinks (see the photos). And cakes (some in the display case and others that can be special ordered). The place is conveniently located on Reading Rd. Free parking in the lot beside the building. Closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday which means the best selection of cupcakes is Wednesday afternoon, after they have been baking all morning. Stop in and tell Sandy that Martha sent you!

I’ve always admired Tres Belle’s work and have had great experiences in the past, so I was really looking forward to the cake for my wedding. The cakes and desserts tasted absolutely amazing—rich, fresh, and exactly what I hoped for in terms of flavor. They were also delivered as discussed, which I appreciated. However, the delivery was later than the promised time, which added unnecessary stress on a day that’s already full of moving parts. More importantly, the design of the wedding cake was a major letdown. It was delicious, but visually it didn’t come close to the inspiration image we discussed during the consultation and over email. It felt like the design was rushed or forgotten altogether, which was especially disappointing given our past relationship and the stunning work I’ve seen from them before. I truly believe Tres Belle is capable of beautiful creations, but this time, the execution just didn’t reflect what was promised or expected.

Got my birthday cake here and it was amazing!!! I highly recommend the blackberry raspberry chip. They are very quick with responding to requests and of course their customer service is amazing.

Tres Belle Cakes provided the most amazing wedding cake! I had a vision of half camo half regular and provided a photo I found online and they duplicated the cake PERFECTLY. It was everything I was hoping for and more! The cake was absolutely delicious and all our guests love it! Some wedding cakes are beautiful but don’t taste great but this cake was delectable, flavorful, soft, perfect! They worked with us every step of the way, the tasting beforehand was great and the cake arrived on time in perfect condition. Our anniversary is coming up and I joked my favorite part of our anniversary will be getting another cake from Tres Belle Cakes! -Lila Myers

These are definitely a luxury dessert. They are only meant to be enjoyed for special occasions. I used to think that they were too pricey but then I used my points to attend their 3 hour cooking class so now I understand why they are so high. I will just continue to buy them because I don't have the skill set, equipment nor patience to make them myself.

We’ll definitely be making the trip down more often for these macarons. The place was so clean, very peaceful vibe, and absolutely delicious macarons with some really good flavor options. My favorite was the cereal milk and the pistachio was delicious as well!

Didnt have the chance to join the hands on making macron (though it sounds absolutely fun, I'm down to do next time) But I do enjoy the macron they made. I had a six piece macron in 14 dollars. My favorite flavor definitely goes to the Irish cream. The delicate cream taste layers on the sweetness made this little macron a lot of surprises. If your down to have some sophisticatedly pleasant afternoon dessert you must try them.

12/3/22 we attended a macaron making class with Tanisha. There were 7 of us which was perfect. All of our tops and bottoms turned out perfectly because we were instructed so well. All the ganache flavors we made were yummy too. If you’re tired of gifting ties, socks, underwear etc., try gifting an experience instead. It was so much fun and you’ll take so many home. Tanisha was great and really added to the fun.

Delicious! This cute little macaron shop is easy for slipping in and out and doesn't feel overwhelming like some bakeries can. The seasonal selection of flavors is big enough to make you crave them all and small enough to leave you hungry for the ones that will hit at other times of the year (salted caramel and strawberry milkshake are current faves). These are colorful, flaky, delicate and sweet like true macarons should be, giving you a teensy bit of Paris here in Hyde Park. What a fantastic endeavor founded by a local grad!

Everything is gluten free!! Lots of unique flavors, a few of our favorites were lemon lavender (not overpowering, just enough), salted caramel and gingerbread. They had a holiday special: $25 gets you a 12 pack, t-shirt and a $5 coupon for your next visit.

My food blogger kiddos stopped in on our trip from Cleveland. The owner was super nice to them. We LOVED these macarons! Some of the best I’ve had.

I love that this location is open on Mondays! Busken's Plain Danish is my husband's favorite pastry, and they often sell out early in the AM. I wanted to surprise him with some before he has a long week, and this location was open on Mondays. 🙂 The employee who helped me was so warm & kind. A great way to start the week!

I used to really love the taste of your buttercream icing. However something has changed. It has a spicy taste. Not sure what the added ingredient is. All of my guests said the same thing. There is a spicy taste. Please change your recipe back to how it used to be

My first visit here so they gave me a free yummy donut! We can for cookies but their Halloween cakes and petit fours were so cute we bought some of those too. Definitely recommend.

Definitely, SHOULD NOT BE MISSED if you are visiting Cincinnati. This place surely makes one of the best, if not best, donuts in the area. It is a 24 hours bakery but the best time would be during the day when the items are absolutely fresh and you see more options as well. The peculiarity about the donuts and other bakery items here is that aesthetically they are not at all appealing, except for few. However, in terms of taste, they are absolutely delicious. Their Old Fashioned donut is definitely to be tried. Apart from that, we tried few other items like Coconut Danish, Samoa donut and muffins like the Zucchini Nut and Applesauce Raisin. We have tried danish at many places but this Coconut Danish is the first danish we actually liked. Samoa donut was amazing and the toasted coconut was giving a very good crunch to the donut. While Zucchini Nut was great, Applesauce Raisin had a heavy flavor of cinnamon which kind of shielded the other ingredients. It was also slightly more on the gooey side. In general, for the donuts, they are just in a perfect balance - not so crumbly that it breaks and not so gooey that you have a hard time breaking it properly. However, I am not a fan of their coffee. You won't miss anything if you skip it. We love this place, especially for the kind of amazing donuts they make, keeping aside the aesthetics, and a great price. Most of the donuts are between $2-$3. So, you can try many donuts under $10 which is always great to know.

Cake icing is definitely different. Ordered two cakes months apart and the taste was not good at all on either one. I agree with the other comment please change your buttercream back to the original. It is what makes the cake one of the best.

I will no longer be ordering from Buskens. Unfortunately, my recent experience was extremely disappointing. I called to place an order, but it was never entered into their system. When I called back to make the payment, I was told that because the order wasn’t paid for upfront, it had been placed on the back burner. This crucial detail was never communicated to me during the initial call. Now, with my birthday just two days away, I’m left without a cake. What makes this even more frustrating is that I’ve been a loyal customer for the past eight years, consistently ordering cakes from them for my son’s birthdays and I’ve never had an issue until now. Now no other bakery will accept my order due to late notice, what a joke! This experience has left me very dissatisfied and disappointed.

Always fresh and delicious. But I won't return because I gained so much in one week from eating here. Danish is my weakness, but you'll be overwhelmed by the never-ending selection of fresh pastries, cakes, and pies. You can't go wrong. I need a higher metabolism to maintain this relationship. It's not you it's me. 😫

My wife and I have worked with LaDawn now on two occasions and we couldn’t recommend her enough. We love that she is local to us and so easy to work with. We’ve also stopped into the storefront several times for the individual treats she has— everything she makes is so yummy. LaDawn made our wedding cake which was a simple two tiered strawberry cake with buttercream frosting. We didn’t want anything extravagant but LaDawn still did a flawless job. The cake looked fabulous and tasted even better. A year later and we’re still drooling over the taste of our strawberry wedding cake. The process for getting a wedding cake made by LaDawn was also great! We particularly loved the cake tasting which left us with so much leftover cake that we felt positively spoiled. The design process was clear and easy as well, even though we got a simple design we felt like she could make us anything we requested. Between the cake tasting and the final product we also feel like we got a really great value. We have also ordered sheet cakes from LaDawn. Several for the wedding guests and one for our baby shower. They were great as we have come to expect from Cakes by LaDawn. You can really tell that she goes out of her way to make sure your special dessert is made to your complete satisfaction and I’m positive that whatever you order from her will please you and your guests.

LaDawn did my wedding cake. It was beautiful. She was on time and set it up nicely. The cake was delicious. I had no problems. I would recommend her to anybody.

Sweets by LaDawn provided our wedding cake and cupcakes for guests. She was amazing to work with in putting our vision together. She also delivered and set up our dessert table, which we greatly appreciated! We got rave reviews from all of our guests about how delicious our cupcakes were. Her prices were incredibly affordable. We are looking forward to enjoying our 1 year anniversary cake in the coming weeks.

Sweets by Ladawn is by far the best bakery! She did an amazing job on our wedding cake and all the other cakes I have ordered since then!

We tried so many cakes during our wedding planning, but nothing came close to what Sweets by LaDawn created for us. Honestly, it wasn’t just the best wedding cake I’ve ever had—it was the best cake I’ve ever eaten, period. The flavor, the texture, the presentation… everything was perfect. It wasn’t just cake—it was an experience. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Our guests are still talking about it, and more than one person asked for the name of the baker that night. If you want something unforgettable for your wedding (or any special occasion), I cannot recommend Sweets by LaDawn enough. LaDawn work is beyond amazing—she doesn’t just bake cakes; she creates edible art.

Our wedding cake was amazing! We had a lemon raspberry cake with cream cheese frosting, and it was delicious—light, fresh, and not too sweet. It looked beautiful and our guests loved it. Highly recommend!

Needed a last minute gift for my dad for his 70th and my grandmas 95th. Wanted something unique and Ladawn offered a cake of the month!! Reasonably priced can choose delivery or pick up. They both love it and really look forward to each month! Here is a photo of September's chocolate overload cake!

Sorry it’s taken us so long to post this—our wedding was last August—but we’re still thinking about the amazing cakes from Maribelle! We couldn’t be happier with the stunning wedding cakes. The main 3-tier cake was stunning and so delicious, and the Minecraft cake was such a fun (and tasty) surprise. The design was everything we dreamed of— quirky like us, beautifully detailed, and perfectly matched to our wedding theme. Our guests were absolutely wowed by how gorgeous it looked. But even more impressive was the taste! Each tier was moist, flavorful, and delicious—we’re still getting compliments months later. Thank you, Maribelle, for making such an important part of our wedding so perfect. We’ll never forget it—and we’ll definitely be back for anniversaries and special occasions!

I loved my cake! Maribelle bakery did an amazing job💗 Tony was very helpful, answered and listened to all my questions and concerns over the phone and email they made my cake perfect! The buttercream frosting and taste is phenomenal and it melts in your mouth, I feel like I m eating clouds when I eat this cake! It’s almost identical to the inspiration photos I showed them over email but with my own touch, they really do customize the cake to your exact preference. This cake made my 21st birthday special💖I’ll definitely be coming back here for more cake orders in the future! The customer service, and talent they put into these cakes and making sure it’s perfect for you is amazing! I m really happy I chose Maribelle for my birthday cake!🥳 Well money spent! Everyone was so nice💕Thank you again Maribelle Cakery!

Absolutely wonderful!!! I booked Maribelle over a year in advance for my wedding last month. I had many ideas of what I was looking for and sent pictures. We're huge star wars collectors and they incorporated a death star into a glamourous cake and it was GORGEOUS! My absolute favorite flavor on the cake was the lemon paradise. I wish I had picked it for the large portion of the cake!!! Mary Beth is such a wonderful person to work with. She's very kind and personal.

Only giving 2 stars because they did decorate the cake exactly how I asked even tho the decorating was done poorly and icing wasn’t white, for the amount of money I paid (137.00). My daughter was so excited to have a good cake for her graduation party, a friend told me about this place so after reading reviews I knew this was the perfect place, but nope I was wrong 😑 after serving the first two slices my guest said the icing was terrible so everyone who wanted a slice tried the icing and declined a piece of cake. The icing literally tasted like I was eating a brick of butter. I was highly disappointed and upset because I’m left with a whole cake .Maybe it was a bad day for the decorator and the person making the icing.

I am so happy with my experience at Maribelle. They did our wedding cake (also a great experience) and we recently had them make our sons first birthday cake. I had a small request after the cake was complete and the owner went well out of her way to make sure things were exactly how I wanted them without complaint or excuse. It was clear that her focus was making me a very happy customer! I cannot say enough good things about the beauty and quality of the cakes that Maribelle makes. Plus, they are absolutely delicious! Support this business! If you are getting married or need a cake, call them ahead of time! They are busy!

I have went to Maribelle Cakery multiple times for my kids birthdays and have always had a great experience We recently used them for our wedding in June and it was the best choice we could have made. We ordered a cake and cupcakes and had in total 7 flavors. They were literally all so good I’m so happy we went with them because our guest loved it. Ty for being apart of our big day.

Gorgeous and delicious cake! Very affordable and a quick turnaround, too. I ordered a white chocolate, raspberry and pistachio birthday cake from Massachusetts to celebrate multiple July birthdays in Ohio. With minimal directions from me (I basically just said “cobalt blue, gold, sparkles”) Mary Beth and team created this unforgettable masterpiece…and made me feel like family.

The pastries were excellent!! They clearly sell out fast - we visited twice and the first day we showed up an hour after opening to a very limited remaining selection. The croissants had excellent flavor and a really nice textural contrast between the exterior and interior. I tried a number of pastries and think a must-try is the artichoke croissant. If I were local I’d be here all the time!

Opens at 9, we got there at 8:40 am and there was a small line. We were about 10 people back but as soon as they opened we were in and out within 10 mins. The sesame caramel blondie was incredible. Also really enjoyed the raspberry bun. You can’t go wrong with any item. 10/10.

My husband and I ordered a red velvet cake topper and 6 dozen mixed doughnuts for our wedding and everything was perfect! Worked perfectly for our doughnut tower display incorporated with the cake top! Plus we preordered two bread bowls one wheat one pumpernickel and they were the first to be eaten! They were so good!

I have been a customer since Brown Bear opened and am so happy that they always keep it interesting!! I have loved every pastry cookie and drink I have had the pleasure of tasting at Brown Bear! Today they wowed me with a samosa pastry (thanks for including the tamarind chutney, a must with samosa!) and a rhubarb bun! Thank you for keeping us happily fed, we love you Brown Bear Bakery (and 227!!)

I can’t wait to go back. The absolute best savory feta fig croissants I’ve ever had, and the absolute most heavenly apple butter croissant. Me and my husband have the tradition to stop at a bakery every time we travel, and this one’s up there in our list

Wow. I have been blown away. Everything is a 10. I was recently down on Main St getting a tattoo(s) at the Black Cave, and had a few minutes to grab a coffee before my appointment. I hopped around the corner to this cute lil bakery and loved the name so I went in. I ordered a macchiato iced, and they recommended something like a caramel vanilla latte and I trusted her so I said heck yes! While waiting, I perused the baked goods and decided to get one of everything left (about 6 things, they were mostly sold out). I spent about $40 and got: - the coffee 10/10 - chocolate chip cookie (best I ever had) - some kind of strawberry lemon sugar cookie …. Ummm incredible gimme 10 more - an Apple streusel ish shortbread cookie which I thought I wouldn’t love but I loved it . - cinnamon roll that I almost didn’t buy…. Best I ever had - croissant and chocolate croissant 10/10 - oatmeal cookie which I haven’t eaten yet I feel like I’ve been lost in a haze between grocery store cookies and Dunkin’ Donuts. The brown bear bakery woke me up yesterday. You must take yourself here and indulge. You will be so happy !!!

Amazing bakery! 🥯☕️🥐 Mostly vegetarian. Staff are super friendly. The pastries are all scrumptious! Everything we tried was super fresh and crispy. My favorite was the everything bagel croissant!! ✅ Everything bagel croissant ✅ Breakfast egg sandwich ✅ Coffee ✅ Cinnamon rolls ✅ Chocolate sea salt cookie They have seating indoors and out. Cute spot.

Absolutely amazing!!!! Completely gluten free but you would never know it by the taste. I have celiac and was able to enjoy items I haven't had in many years. The staff is super friendly and helpful. So many options I couldn't decide so I picked a variety and all are delicious. (Quiche is in the foil). I'll certainly be back. Make sure to check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Cherbourg Donut Bakery I stopped by Cherbourg Donut Bakery and was really impressed! The donuts here are smaller in size, but that actually makes them perfect for enjoying without feeling too heavy. Each bite is soft, fluffy, and full of flavor — you can really tell they use quality ingredients. What I liked most is the balance: they’re sweet and satisfying, but not overwhelming. The small size also means you can try a few different flavors without getting too full, which is great if you like variety. The bakery itself has a warm and welcoming vibe, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall, it’s a lovely spot to grab a light treat, whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, a snack, or something to go with your coffee. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Cherbourg Cyprus is my favorite gluten free bakery! The taste and quality is unmatched. The service is always great and I just love the atmosphere everytime I visit. This place is a must try - it's so worth it!

I had the good fortune of visiting Cherbourg Cyprus bakery on a recent trip to Cincinnati, and what a treat it was. I'd be there every day savoring the delicious gluten free baked goods. My wife and I each had a strata, and a baked good, both were excellent. This is a top notch bakery with well thought out and prepared sweet and savory items. I wish I had regular access to gluten free baking, and I will definitely be back on my next trip to the area. As a side note, the service is amazing too - friendly, knowledgeable, and fast.

The service was great! Everything is gluten-free and delicious! Next time we're in town, we'll definitely be stopping by again.

We loved our first visit to Cherbourg. It's great for Celiac and we all absolutely lived the selection. Friendly and nice service and the atmosphere was perfect for a bakery and coffee shop the Blueberry muffin was warm and fresh baked. The quiche was right out of the pan. We'll definitely be back.

We used Cherbourg Cyprus to cater the desserts for our wedding and they were amazing! My guests and I were so impressed with the bars, donuts, and wedding cake that we ordered from them. Everything was ready promptly and packed up for us.

Ordered my daughter cake from here after being told how good this bakery was. I'll say the girl who took my cake order when I came in to place it was very personable and courteous, customer service from her was 100. I also had gotten some donuts, cupcakes, and cookies the day I placed the order. Didn't care for the carrot cake cupcake. The coconut donut was pretty good. Their smiley face cookie reminded me of a healthier version of Busken's. My kids ate the cupcakes and said they liked them. The birthday cake was mediocre in flavor. The icing was too sweet. It was half yellow, half white, with the yellow being the preferred of the two. Nobody from the birthday party was blown away by it. It was very beautiful tho, just lacking in taste. And you can't have leftovers longer then a day or so or the cake part gets hard.

Grabbed some treat recently that were all delicious! Had my son’s birthday cake and cookies made by the shop too. They were delicious and so cute! We love the Wyoming Pastry Shop and highly recommend them!

This was my first time going to Wyoming Pastry and they did not disappoint. The cake turned out way better than the picture I sent in to them. I will be ordering all my cakes from here. Highly recommend!!

I have visited the pastry shop here and there for almost 20 years since my mom moved us out this way. They have always had great pastries and great service. Here lately I have been closely watching their Facebook story and have been seeing the cake slices they have for sale. I have seen a few that I wanted to get but just didn’t make it to get a slice. On Thursday 6/20/24, they posted yellow cake with cotton candy buttercream. I knew I needed to get it. After I picked up my son I called to see if they had any more slices left and I was told they had 2 left and the lady on the phone asked if I wanted her to put them to the side for me. Not even 3 minutes later, I arrived with my son to pick up the slices. Service was amazing as it had always been in the past. When we got settled at home we opened up a slice. Let’s just say I only had a corner of one slice and it was amazing!!! My 2 year old devoured the rest of the cake even licking the icing out of the container. So safe to safe this was a winner. I still have one slice left to enjoy. I hope this flavor will come back around often so I can buy more. Maybe even be able to place and order for a whole cake like this. Either way, it was amazing and we can’t wait to try more cake slices.

The condescending rudeness of the woman working left a really sour taste rather than what I went in for. I anticipated a sweet experience like I’ve had every time I’ve stopped in when in town. I hope the cake I purchased for my family is better than her attitude and sincerely hope this isn’t the norm for this Wyoming icon. In fairness there was a very nice smiling young lady who tried to help and without her we would have had a horrible experience.

We ordered three half sheet cakes for our wedding from here, and they were PHENOMENAL! We ordered enough cake for 150 people, and even though we also had a s'mores bar and only 90 or so guests, all the cake was gone at the end of the night. We had so many people asking where we ordered from and asking to take some home. The decorations were beautiful, and it was such an easy process ordering the cakes. Extremely good value for the quality. This place will definitely be our go to for any cake needs.

I ordered a three layered chocolate cake with white icing for a birthday party. I gave them a cake design and it was perfect. The chocolate cake was moist like it was made that morning. Hand down this is my favorite bakery for chocolate cake.

When I tell you I was extremely impressed with this cake, I absolutely mean it. For this being the first actual bakery I’ve purchased a birthday cake from I was a little nervous. The design was 100% exactly what I asked for and it looked absolutely gorgeous. The excitement on my daughter’s face was enough to know that this was super worth the $70. 🥹

Could not recommend this place more. My mother-in-law ordered a two tier cake for my wedding this year and to say it turned out perfect is an understatement. From beginning to end the professionalism from everyone was incredible. Kim is an absolute super star and made the process go so smoothly. Little Flour truly made my wedding cake so special and it was delicious as well! The decorations were gorgeous, and the extra effort they put into setting the cake up with the topper and macaroons at the reception hall was very appreciated. Do yourself a favor and order from here!!

I have been obsessed with Vampire Diaries all my life, and they made me the PERFECT cake! Definitely go with them, they’re amazing! Best birthday present ever.

We got a gender reveal cake from here and it was perfect!! The cake was beautiful and tasted great! We hope to return for future special occasions! Thanks for helping make this moment so special and memorable!!

Not happy. Came in to ask a few questions , person from the back came up and seemed aggravated we took her from her work . Started asking questions and she's already filling out a slip.(sales pressure) Not a big deal. Said the cake will be 70 to 75$ but after we give the deposit turns out its like 96$ (and no we didnt add stuff) we'll damn that's alot but ok maybe it will look great. We get it and its 5inch× 5inch. For real 100$ . Honestly we felt pressure to buy it and we get it and its tiny tiny. NOT HAPPY. WILL not BE BACK. . Could of got one from servantii for half the price and twice as big. Im all about small business but overall not happy with customer service, price point, up selling ,a deceiving sales tactics.. Maybe im all wrong but from my experience of buying cakes for my kids the last 10 years this was the worst experience.

Very cute/cozy storefront. All the treats looked great but the giant chocolate chip cookies are to die for! I’ve been looking for a cookie exactly like this one since high school (a LONG time 🤪).

Needless to say, these are a hit!! These are the PERFECT treats for business/customer purposes. The cookies look outstanding and they taste even better. The team at Little Flour is able to do any logo you wish on the cookies. They’re able to individually wrap them 2 different ways or keep them as is, laying on a tray. The staff is always friendly, the orders are always timely and our office uses them quite often for cookie orders as such…and we will continue to spread the word!

We ordered my baby shower cake from them and it came out beautiful! I provided an inspiration picture and they did an amazing job. Not only did it look great, it tasted amazing too! We will definitely be ordering again in the future.

We used Buttercup Cake House for both our wedding cake and our rehearsal dinner dessert (cookies). Both were AMAZING! They truly taste as good as they look! So many people have told us after the wedding that the cake was the best cake they've ever had! I highly recommend them and I will definitely use them in the future. All thanks to Angela and her Team!

I ordered cake pops for a baby shower from here and not only are their prices great but the product was delicious. Definitely recommend Buttercup Cake House!! everyone loved them but one was left

Ordered a large birthday and smash cake for my daughter's first birthday. For as much cake as we got it was a great price and it was probably the best cake I've ever had. Will order from here again.

The custom orders are out of this world! My wife and I had our wedding cake and recently our son's 1st Birthday cake made by Buttercup and were amazed. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are next level. I highly recommend Buttercup if you're in the market for a custom cake.

I am so thankful for buttercup cake house! They did our wedding cake in 2018 and we just went in today to place a last minute order for my daughters first birthday. They were kind and accommodating and I can’t wait to see all our cakes!!

The cupcakes are awesome! Cakes look really great, too, and seem like a good price.

Reva, you are simply the best! Thank you for your added touch of pure elegance and simplicity for our daughter's beautiful wedding. All 160 of our wedding guests agreed that your cake was the best they've ever had at a wedding. After our Funky Catering 5-star dinner, our choices of buttercream fillings were a real treat to find wedged between perfectly moist and delicious cake sponge for dessert. (We had chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter flavoring for our exquisitely decorated 3 - tier cake.)

Reva has been making our kids birthday cakes for several years now. The cakes always look amazing and taste even more amazing! We have tried several different flavors and they never let us down. Highly recommend Reva if you are looking for a cake for any special occasion!

Can't say enough about how impressed, and happy we were with Reva and the cake she made for our wedding. It was beautiful to look at, and tasted amazing! We fully intend to recommend her to everyone! Thank you Reva for helping make our wedding a great one!

I can't say enough nice things about the experience we had when ordering a wedding cake for my son's wedding. His fiancé and myself work on a very tight schedule and Reva was kind enough to do the cake testing at our work place. The cake was made to our exact specifications, she followed up a few days before the wedding to make sure that we didn't need to change anything and that she had our order correct. She delivered to the venue at the specified time, assembled and finished the cake to perfection. We and our guests thought it looked and tasted wonderful. We will be using her in the future and we highly recommend Reva.

We can not say enough about Cakes by Reva! Quite possibly the best cake I have ever had, let alone the best wedding cake! She made a beautiful cake, exactly how my wife wanted it. She delivered o. time and you can't beat the price. If you are looking a cake for any occasion, contact Reva! You won't be disappointed!

BEWARE Our cake was beautiful day of the wedding and Reva did a wonderful job. However when we sat down and discussed pricing and such we were told we would receive a fresh cake for our one year anniversary. I reached out via Facebook, text, email, and phone calls with voicemails and did not receive anything back. If we would have known we would have frozen some of our cake but that experience for our one year anniversary was ruined. We never got it. I will be contacting the BBB and posting a review everywhere I can find to warn people what to expect so you don’t have to go through this.

Reva the cake was amazing thank you for doing it short notice for our little baby.. everybody enjoyed the cake. It was cute as well. I will be calling for future cakes... Loved the elephants on it..

Perfect ice cream with a huge selection of flavors. Plenty of options outside of the ice cream as well, which was surprising. Came here after a FC Cincinnati game and the staff was super friendly even when slammed with a postgame crowd at closing time.

Lovely ice cream experience. Preferred this location over the one in Indy due to the flavor variety. Staff were efficient and menu was easy to navigate. Banana chocolate chip ice cream is where it's at! 🍌🍦🍫

Well, graeter serves great ice cream, but this location is even more greater. The service was phenomenal. The guy at the counter was really helpful, he offered us different samples and was very friendly throughout the time.

Good Ice Cream and great service. Store is very clean and nicely decorated. You can buy pints to go. We had a couple incidents with homeless who came in the store while we were there causing a minor commotion, but I'm not sure if that is the norm.

Heard it was extremely popular/famous, so we went in immediately. Ordered Mango sorbet and black raspberry chip. The mango sorbet was okay but the raspberry chip was over the moon delicious.

We were in town for a tour across the street from Graeter's so we grabbed a scoop before hopping back in the car. Big mistake. We're hooked and it's 250 miles to the nearest one. So we did what any ice cream junky would do... We ordered some Graeter's online and it was delivered today. Hopefully it's as good as in the stores.

The service was great, but I panicked and ordered something I wasn't thrilled about. You might say that was my fault, but I think you can judge an ice cream shop on the quality of a staple like butter pecan. I judge this four stars because it doesn't live up to the hype. Sorry Oprah.

That was awesome and QUICK. They flew through a line of like 50 people so fast. Drink was really good. Can’t remember the last time I got a latte where it was this well made with the microfoam. Baked goods were crazy good too.

Friendly service kicked off the great experience! I ordered my typical mocha and I usually don’t get whipped cream, but she told me they make it in house and add some delicious vanilla, so I tried it and it’s worth the extra calories! I’d definitely recommend it. Also, it was such a hot day outside, I ordered it iced, but if you’re staying in their dining area, it’s quite air conditioned so you could even do a hot coffee on a hot day. 👍🏼

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were out showing downtown townhouses and condos to a wonderful couple — and their energetic niece was tagging along. After hiking up and down stairs (real estate cardio! 🏃‍♀️🔑), she needed a little pick-me-up. So we popped into Coffee Emporium… just as they were about to close. 😬 In fact, we’re pretty sure the register had already been shut down — but the staff was incredibly gracious and accommodating. They still allowed us to purchase a few drinks, a sandwich, some cookies, and a yogurt (gotta keep the protein up! 💪🍦). Their kindness and flexibility meant so much to us and our clients. This simple act of generosity truly reflects the ‘can-do’ spirit of Cincinnati — the kind of attitude that makes us proud to live and work here. Thank you, Coffee Emporium, for helping me keep my cool and making my clients happy home buyers! 🙏🏡 Your team served up more than just coffee that day — you served compassion, community, and a little extra caffeine-fueled joy. ☕❤️ Go Reds! Go Bengals! ⚾🐅 – Don & Wendi Sheets 📍Proven Home Pros | Greater Cincinnati & Dayton #CoffeeEmporiumCincy #QueenCityKindness #CincinnatiRealEstate #FuelForHouseHunting #CincyEats #ProvenHomeProsApproved #DowntownCincyLove #HappyClientsHappyRealtor

Super efficient service even on a busy Saturday morning. Many pastries, muffins, and other grab and go items are available. A good amount of tables inside for seating. My iced latte was good but not noteworthy. I'd go back for its convenient location and reliably decent goods.

They have a great collection of delicious pastries (I really liked the blueberry muffin.) My friends had the coffee and they enjoyed it. The staff was friendly.

First time in today! Awesome coffee and food selection. Iced Mocha and Nutella croissant were on point!

From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! The food and drinks were so good, and the vibes are on point. Such a cozy atmosphere, relaxed, positive. I wish we had one closer!!

The desserts are incredible, Taren made the desserts for my wedding, and everything was outstanding. The coordination was easy, and Taren could bake a Peruvian dessert for us, and everyone complimented them. From the first meeting, we got great vibes from Taren, and her talents demonstrated that it was the best choice for us and that they are one of the best in Cincinnati. All the desserts were a perfect balance, not too sweet, and each ingredient of the recipe enhanced the flavor. I recommend Sweet Petit Desserts.

I ordered a strawberry fruit tart online with the owner/baker Taren. I opted for a whole pie rather than mini tartlets. The tart was FANTASTIC! The inside filling was a cream with lemony aftertaste. Not too sweet, perfect amount of tang. The top layer was strawberries cut up to look like a floral piece. The tart was delightful! So happy with the process and product.

Amazinggg pastries! I got a tasting box to try for our wedding! Tarren was nice and easy to communicate with!

Highly recommend! I ordered an assortment of desserts for a baby showered and everyone was asking where I got the desserts. The lemon bars are absolutely delicious, along with the others. I’ll happily order from Taren again.

Oh Yes!!! Sweet Petit, What a Treat! On Race Street! It's Excellent and Elite! I tried a few of the Sweet Petit Desserts last week and they were fabulous, tasty, creamy, bakery fresh and of course very sweet! As you can see from the photos, they are beautiful, bite-size cupcakes and other baked goods made fresh just for the customer! I came to the store to capture the owner on video, so I was aware of her products, but I hadn't had the chance to taste them. After I took some pictures. I had to taste the greatness!!! I Love the vision of this company! Not only do they bake great goods, but they are teaching this skill and craft to kids, with their Junior Baking Series Kids Edition Classes. It's so much here for the community, which is creating a long lasting legacy for the owner, her family and everyone involved! I Love it! I will definitely come back again! I may even try everything that's on the menu! So go to Sweet Petit, come an get your treat, others cannot compete! After that head to your favorite social media site because it's time to tweet! Tweet Tweet! Now Repeat! Soooo Sweet!

Not being able to stand the thought of having wasted slices of cake at my wedding, I knew mini desserts were the way to go. There were some places that had some mini cupcakes or mini brownies, but Sweet Petit Desserts had an assortment of mini desserts that were all equally delicious. I went to visit the Sweet Petit Desserts, and met Taren who is the kindest person! She took the time to walk me through what she had, how she made her desserts and answered all of my questions in detail. She was honest with me about how many I needed and didn't try to up-sell or oversell me on anything. She let me try an assortment of desserts - mini brownies, lemon bars, cake pops, and multiple flavors of mini cupcakes. Every single thing I tried was exquisite. Her brownies were a crowd favorite! One other perk that completely sold me on Sweet Petit Desserts was having a mini cake for my husband and me to cut. She made us a very simple cake that fit our theme and was delicious along with her other desserts! Taren is the best and her desserts are reasonably priced! I highly recommend calling her for any event where you need a a sweet treat!

I have visited Sweet Petit on a few occasions, and recently used them to cater desserts for a baby shower. Their desserts are delicious and just the right portion for someone to try 3-4 different things during a party. The owner is friendly and took care with the specifics of the catering order. I just wish they were open later in the evenings so I could visit every time I am in OTR!

Top-notch bagels, excellent service, and a diverse menu. What more could you need? I highly recommend the pizza bagel. Perfect crunch, seasoning, and overall taste. It was one of the best creations I've ever consumed! 🥰

Omg yum… I loooove bagels and this honestly might be my favorite bagel spot! You can just get a bagel and cream cheese or fancy it up and get a sandwich. While the menu seems small, it’s got plenty to choose from, plus you can build your own. The restaurant is very small with no seating. There is a high top bar style table along the windows you can stand at but no chairs. I came on a Sunday morning and dang was it busy. Only a few people actually ordering in the restaurant but so many mobile orders!

The people at The Bagelry were very welcoming and eager to help out and serve customers. My friend and I had the Queen City Sandwich and it was amazing. Their other bagels were very impressive and very good as well. I will definitely come back in the future for some more amazing bagels!

Visiting from out of town and always look for a bagel place, this one hit the spot! Quick service and good prices, with a deep menu of items. Had the GECCO pictured and it was a great ratio of cream cheese and egg. First time having goetta as well, Cincinnati has a tasty specialty there! Highly recommend Bagelry for anyone in the neighborhood.

I got in around 9:30 am on a Saturday and the place was packed. I was very impressed that they were able to pack up multiple large orders in the span of a few minutes. The prep line was running like a dream! I got a sesame bagel with roasted veggie cream cheese and I loved it! I wish it was a bit more toasted, but the flavor of the cream cheese was exactly what you want from a savory perspective and texture wasn’t gummy at all, which sometimes happens to bagels that aren’t toasted enough. This place rocks!

Came for the vegan options around 9am, but was let down by the vegan cream cheese being sold out... I got the other vegan option - avocado everything bagel sandwich. The service was quick and friendly. It was sooooooo good even without the creme cheese I wanted. Reasonably priced too. Dope bagel shop, I'll be back.

BEST bagel ever! Had the plain w/ ham and provolone. It was PERFECTLY toasted. Also had the Queen City and the Everything bagel w/ vegan herb cream cheese spread....AMAZING! Highly recommend!

A wonderful cafe, the barista is an artist and cheerful, and the coffee is wonderful. I recommend visiting it☕

Absolutely cool spot! Located within Karrikin Spirits Co. I tried the Cubano & the Cortado. Both delicious. I came on a week day, mostly empty. The ambient noise is a little louder than one would like, but I think if you came with a few people you wouldn’t really notice or care. I’m by myself, and it doesn’t really bother. It’s a relaxing but lively ambiance. Definitely would come again. Also, they have a Sat morning coffee brewing class with different methods. Something like $20 around 9am. I’d say it’s worth it.

This place was awesome. It's back at the end of warehouses. There is a brewery next it, that I want to try, but you walk in and it is small, but really nice and quiet. I talked to the staff and they host classes there for businesses and for individuals. She said that is their bread and butter, but I'm not sure about that, since their coffee was so good. 👌🏻

My wife and I visited today and Robert made us some of the best coffee we've had. Their espresso machine is top of the line and it makes a phenomenal cup. I recommend this roaster/coffee shop with no hesitation. Beyond their exceptional roasting and brewing practices, they are wonderful people. They will treat you well and you will want to come back. If you are lactose free or vegan, try the oat milk latte!

My girlfriend and I love La Terza’s original location. When we heard a new location was opening nearby where we live, we were ecstatic and knew we had to check it out. We have been to Karrikin months back which La Terza is now merged with. The new location is essentially the main bar area distillery but with coffee. They’ve got a full espresso drink line up to offer in addition to coffee gadgets such as gooseneck kettles, siphons, Chemexs and more. The ~vibes~ were mainly the distillery vibes. A nice open area with lots of tables to work at, couches if you want to relax, Christmas decorations, and lots of coffee gadgets shown off. Great experience overall and I’m sure we will be back.

La Terza’s new coffee bar at Karrikin is awesome! I have been a La Terza fan for a while, and this space is great for working or enjoying time with friends. They have tons of seating - tables and comfy chairs! I’d highly recommend stopping in.

I picked up monte Cristo whole bean coffee at my local Whole Foods and it was excellent in my home espresso machine. Very well balanced shot and great taste. I can’t wait to stop in and check out the shop.

This place is really a perfection.🌸 Whenever I miss authentic Japanese baked goods and onigiri, I would like to visit here to warm my heart. I got two melon pan too, but forgot to take pictures~... but I loved them. I'll definitely come back here soon.

Chako Bakery Cafe is just fantastic! For years, I’ve loved coming in and getting a pastry/cream puff, but I recently came in and was amazed by the karaage-sando combo. A fair price— $14– for some of the juiciest, most tasty fried chicken I’ve ever had! The combo tastes incredibly fresh and is some of if not the best fried chicken/miso soup around. Service is thoughtful and attentive— make time to come in if you can!

Stopped by for some pastries while in town due to great google reviews, and this place did NOT disappoint! Got the matcha cake, which was my personal favorite and the pistachio cheese cake. The matcha cake was in-between a cake and cheesecake texture, super moist and not too sweet which is my personal preference. We also got the matcha latte and it was also good! Very authentic little spot. Highly recommend.

We came in for the pastries today. We have few breads and a cake. They're all delish. It's very authentic tastes, especially if you've been to Japan and wanting some Japanese food - come here!!

The staff are very nice. Thank you for letting me practice my Japanese a little :) The food is also delicious! I’d recommend the chicken sandwich the most out of the lunch menu, but I also like the onigiri (salmon at the time). The desserts are also good (I got the matcha roll cake for my mom and the strawberry choux pastry for me). While I don’t usually like tea that much, I thought their hojicha was yummy and warm as well. It feels like a cozy place. If I lived nearby, I’d almost certainly stop by all the time!!

I went with my mother in law , she come from San Francisco to visit (she is Hawaian _japanese) So we enter to ask if they have the miso soup, the chicken and rice ball combo. We went to back seat st the table. We wait for the server but was a teenager that looks that didn’t have experience. We wait and wait for 25 min and I went to the front to ask why was took so long. The lady ask again what we want. Patiendly we wait so more and the guy bring 2 plate with the chicken and the soup only no the onigiri. We ask again for the onigiri , wait for 10 min more al ready we was starving. 45min to an hour waiting and the food was cold and so-so. My mother in law had bad impression and we was dissapointed. I don’t go again. You need to find a parking spot on the street and on weekends is busy.

Good food and very good experience. It was a bit tight upon entry, but once the menu was explained, everything was as expected. we had the salmon filled onigiri which had 1-2 pieces of bone in it. The karaage ended up being a bit oily as it sat on the plate overtime as we were eating our food which caused the Crispness to go down. I was a bit let down with this meal but for the price and amount you get, I liked it overall. The raspberry and strawberry cake slices were the best part of the visit

I love this bakery! They did cupcakes for my wedding and they are seriously the best cupcakes I've ever had!! Every year for my daughter's birthday we get cookies and cupcakes from them and they always knock it out of the park!

This bakery went above & beyond to provide these beautiful cookies for a baby shower! I hadn't allowed myself the 2-3 weeks time frame needed for a custom cookie order and had pretty much given up when I came across Inspiring Kind and they said they would go ahead and take care of my order in just a week. The cookies were a huge hit at the shower and everyone loved them! Thank you for helping to make the shower extra special!

They did our wedding cake and it turned out amazing! It was beautifully decorated, the flavor was so delicious. Will definitely use them for ori anniversary and birthday celebrations from now on.

What a cute bakery! The shortbread cookies are as delicious as they are beautiful, and I can’t wait to go back to try the cupcakes and other menu items!

I usually have great experiences here. I bring my kids for the super cute cookies and usually kind customer service. However it’s been months since we’ve been back and now I remember why. There is a young women who works the cash register with blonde highlights and she is not inspiring any kind of kindness. She greeted us like she was disgusted that she had to talk to us and my kids are always SO excited to go to the “pink cookie place”. The cookies are good for what they are but with nasty customer service we will not be coming back. Please practice inspiring more kindness!

Amazing cookies every single time! This is my new go to place for always delicious and beautifully decorated cookies. Highly recommended!

I was looking for someone that could make cookies for the Super Bowl for my mega Chiefs fan boyfriend. I emailed Inspiring Kind, they called me right away to discuss what I wanted. A lot of bakeries won't let you do a variety of shapes for just a dozen cookies, but they have no limit on shapes per dozen! They did such an amazing job, and the price was awesome! I'm so pleased with their work, timeliness, and artistic ability. If you need custom cookies, or want a sweet treat, check out Inspiring Kind Bakery.

Get here early! The owner was friendly, offered us samples of treats to try, and even gave us a tour of his kitchen, which was immaculate. This guy is a wizard when it comes to wheat flour, butter, and sugar. Kouign Amann, a traditional pastry from Brittany, France, was crispy on the outside from the caramelized sugar and buttery pastry, but still light and fluffy on the inside. Wow! Also, no peanuts in this facility, so we were thrilled that my son could enjoy some of these delicious treats. The raisin roll was a favorite as well.

Boosalis Baking is a hidden gem in Cincinnati! Their salted rye bread (available Saturdays) is phenomenal—crispy crust, rich flavor, and perfectly seasoned. You’ll want to come early before it sells out. Their sweet pastries are just as impressive—flaky croissants, sticky buns, and pain au chocolat that are indulgent without being too sweet. Friendly service and great value make this place even better. A must-visit for any bread or pastry lover!

This is our favorite Baker in greater Cincinnati! If you want the finest French pastries made with real ingredients, you have to go here. Yeah, so send his pastries to local coffee shops like the one In Loveland called the Coco Muse.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Such delicious pastries and breads. Try it all… everything I’ve had is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. What a hidden gem!!! 👏👏👏 The danish, the chocolate croissant, the Kouign-Amman, Pain Au Raisin, monkey bread, ham and cheese croissant…. Wow🤯🤩😄👏😋🤤 Met the owner who is very warm & friendly as well as the rest of the staff! Thankful this is in my neighborhood.

Amazing pastries! We had Kouign Amman (the best!) and a blueberry/cream cheese Danish. Lovely people and delightful treats!! Will be back the next time we drive thru Cincinnati.

If you want a fantastic pastry, this is it. From the first crunch of the crispy flaky outside to the soft flavorful inside, you cannot go wrong. You can tell the real butter and other real ingredients that are used. I have been to places where the croissant will go flat and not crispy after a few hours. This picture is from the one I bought this morning and I am writing this in the afternoon. Let me know what you think.

tl;dr: I'd give it 6 stars if it was possible. Seriously, stop reading this review and go buy some pastries. Boosalis is a great example of a local business worth supporting. First, the food is seriously delicious. The french pastries are so well executed - the ham and cheese croissant is amazingly crispy, the sticky buns have a fantastic citrus glaze, the Kouign-amanns are perfectly buttery, and the list goes on. Don't sleep on their breads - they don't have many of them, and don't have them on Sundays, but they're seriously good. Then, there's pricing. They are really fair! Much lower than other high quality bakeries in the Cincinnati area. And their $1.50 french baguettes? I almost feel bad buying it for so cheap. Last, but not least, comes the service. Matt, the owner, and his team are really fantastic. They take the time to welcome you, answer any of your questions, give you samples, and walk you through their selections. It's not uncommon to get there and see the owner or the staff walking a customer back to their car with a bag of pastries. Seriously, Boosalis rocks! Now that you've made it through the end of this review, go get some pastries!

OTR Bagel Bar is a fantastic spot for fresh, high-quality bagels near Findlay Market. The bagels have the perfect balance of chewiness and crunch, and the variety of flavors and toppings is impressive. Their breakfast sandwiches are especially delicious, made with fresh ingredients and great flavor combinations. The only downside is the size of the space—it’s quite small, and there’s not enough seating, especially during busy hours. It’s more of a grab-and-go spot rather than a place to sit and enjoy your meal. Service can also be a bit slow when it's crowded, but the friendly staff makes up for it. Overall, it's a great place for a bagel fix in OTR!

I went in around 12:30 on a Thursday. I understand the high prices due to location, but have high expectations when paying a premium. I got a half dozen for $10, the selection was pretty limited but not crazy surprising for being after noon. I just don’t know who would ever want a cheeto dust bagel or a fruity pebbles bagel, which is probably why they were some of the remaining options. When I went to pay, he asked me if I had cash because their machine was on the fritz, but I said no and it worked fine. Maybe trying to save some $ on fees by asking for cash? Anyways, had my first of those bagels today. For one, some of the six are rock hard. The poppyseed that I had today was hard but did soften up some after toasting. But overall, not good. The bagel is hard on the outside and dry on the inside. No chewiness, no crunchiness, it’s just disappointing. Oh and I had to try to ignore the flies in the bagel case since I was already ordering by the time I noticed them. I absolutely love bagels. They are one of the best breads in my opinion. I have had lots of bagels from around the country and this is probably one of the worst. The staleness is likened to a lenders bagel from Walmart. Einstein bagels are far better than these and that says a lot. But I still have five more to try and we’ll see. I’ll update this review if I get better results from the remaining bagels. I likely won’t go back. Especially for $20/dozen! (Video of a day old bagel which had been wrapped)

I loved this bagel shop! The staff was super nice and helpful and there are lots of options to choose from. The atmosphere is nice and the prices are extremely affordable. I was recommend this place as someone from out of town and was not disappointed!

It been like 2 years I been eating this bagel. They are great. Every single day before going to work , I eat a bagel sandwich. It’s the same every single day. Just try deli turkey with tator tos with asaigo. Just go try it and you won’t regret.

Bagels were good but the place was absolutely disgusting inside. Found a curly , short hair in one of our bagels. Guy didn’t even change his gloves after touching another order, handling cash or the tablet everyone touches. Get what you pay for, I guess.

I have high bagel standards and these didn't quite meet them. A nice variety of fun bagel options. Prices are high for the sandwich options. They do have good vegan and vegetarian options.

I’m from NYC and visited Cincinnati for a wedding so I stopped by for some bagels and this place has good reviews so I got some bagels. I have to admit that they are not what the people say about their service. I didn’t get what I wanted or expected to get. Not anything comparable to what any Bagel shop would offer in NYC.

though, the bread tastes very good at this bakery. My main issue is That I would like to eat bread rather than a bunch of holes. The biggest slices of bread in every loaf tend to have huge gaping holes in them, which make it difficult to make sandwiches. I often wonder if I’m paying for holes with the side of bread. please change your recipes, but not the taste

My dill and feta biscuit had great texture but didn't have the strongest flavor. Sweet and savory pastries are available as well as a good selection of breads. This is a grab and go space only, but they have a cafe down the street where you can sit inside and enjoy your items.

Excellent bakery with a variety of sweet and savory options, plus a number of loaves. No coffee. Stopped in for an egg galette and a cheddar biscuit- both fantastic and game fresh from the oven (still warm). Delightful customer service to boot! They recommended a coffee shop up the block!

I purchase sourdough bread for my restaurant here. The best bread in the city, hands down.

Come here if you want the best bread in town. Beats San Francisco sourdough any day. My mom once said don’t bother driving home if you’re not bringing the parm bread with you Go get a biscuit and ginger cake and carrot cake too Staff is great I come every week Will continue to do so Cafe also excellent, go there too

Urban Sourdough is world class! With seeds, even better. I get my loaf(s) sliced so I can start eating right away. If dared to finish a loaf before I got home, probably could.

All I have to say is wow! Cincinnati is lucky to have this awesome local bakery. Great veggie pie. 🥰🥧

We always pick something up when we’re at the Northside farmers market. It’s so freaking good. Garlic focaccia is fragrant and mouth watering. English muffins make for the perfect morning sandwich. You can’t go wrong with anything they bake. The staff who come out even on scorching summer days are always kind and helpful too! Awesome humans all around making awesome breads! Thanks and keep it up. Also thank you for coming to Northside!

Visiting Ohio for the first time, I kept hearing about Blue Oven Bakery, and when I arrived, the crowd outside already said it all. Even though the line was long, I decided to wait — and it was absolutely worth it. While waiting, I spoke to a local customer who told me, “This is the best bakery in town, you can’t miss it.” After trying it myself, I completely agree. I ordered a little bit of everything: a Danish, donut, focaccia, salted soft pretzel, scone, and a slider. Every single item was excellent — fresh, soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. The Danish was perfectly balanced, the donut was light and not overly sweet, the focaccia was fragrant with just the right chew, the pretzel had that satisfying salty bite, the scone was tender, and the slider was deliciously satisfying. The quality here is truly impressive, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the baking. It’s rare to find a bakery where every item is consistently this good. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area — it’s absolutely worth the wait in line.

The soft pretzels here are delicious. We got them right out of the oven, so they were still warm and so soft. Be aware that this is a stall at the market, and therefore there is only seating outdoors.

the focaccia here is delicious, a must-have every time i’m in cincy. pretzels are also great, even as someone who doesn’t usually enjoy them!

At the Madeira Farmers Market, I tried loaves of their salted rye and their Bad Boy (like an everything bagel) and both were crunchy/chewy/perfect inside and out. I may never buy a loaf of bread in a grocery store ever again.

Everything is so good here. We tried the scone one time and never thought it will be so good! Bread is of course amazing always! Please bring back the almond croissant! They are the best in town!! Will keep buying again and again !

Just got done with a hot out of the oven pretzel. Wowser! We came for bread to go with an Italian meal, but we also got English muffins. The muffins look tasty, but they are even better than they look. They are the kind of good that if you think of them you might find yourself traveling long distances to go get one. It’s one of those places that sets a bar. Once you’ve been here nowhere else will do.

We placed an order on a Thursday for pick up on Saturday morning. When we arrived to get our order the owner came out and explained everything we ordered to us and the best time to eat what. She was so sweet! I could truly feel her passion for the pastries she makes. The taste for everything we got was phenomenal!!! I can’t recall everything we ordered but it was all delicious!! Definitely recommend Mon Petit Choux and we will be back again as well!

Went in for the first time today, Angela herself was working, along with Claire. Talk about excellent customer service, and making you feel at home. Words just couldn't describe the exceptional service they both offered. You can see that Angela genuinely cares about what she does and the people that come in. They offer a variety of very tasty pastries. Coming from a somewhat French background I gotta say I highly recommend you give this place a shot. Btw they are located inside the Maribelle Bakery building in case you struggle like me to find them.

What a gem! Mon Petit Choux is a charming and intimate bakery nestled amongst the hustle and bustle of Court Street. The interior is quaint and is reminiscent of a true French cafe/bakery. Our awesome servers added warm and welcoming energy. I ordered two cream puffs; blueberry (seasonal) for me and vanilla for my son, and they were both AMAZING. The pastry had perfect texture, and the cream was melt-in-your-mouth, creamy deliciousness. Additionally, I ordered the apricot gallette, which was delicious as well as a brownie and a cherry and goat cheese danish, which were both gobbled by my son before I could get a taste. Needless to say, their desserts are teenager approved, and I must visit again to order more. Also, note that this is the perfect spot for a romantic day date.

My new favorite bakery: sweets that look as delicious as they taste (they bake savory bites, too). They also add great seasonal items to the menu. They specialize in European pastries and they always have lots of options available, including whole cakes as well as by the slice, cream puffs, eclairs, macarons, croissants, galettes, cookies and more. They serve coffee, tea and other beverages and it's very nice inside, so it's a great place to dine in. Service is excellent.

Love! My partner and I walked in and were warmly welcomed by friendly staff. (Seriously the most friendly and warm greeting I've had anywhere in a long time.) Between the two of us, we had a blueberry muffin, cinnamon bun, éclair, cream puff, spinach parmesan pastry and a pastry similar to a margherita. I also had a loose leaf chai which is available unsweetened. I enjoyed all my pastries. The staff made sure I had a safe place to plug in my laptop and really went beyond to make sure we were comfortable. I have to say the star of the show were the eclair and the creme puff. I've always loved these desserts in general because cream is divine to me. I usually kind of felt like choux is just meh. BUT the choux here is out of this world. I have never had anything like it, the texture is not chewy and bland as I'm used to. Here, it is as it should be, airy with a crisp outside. I think I've found my favorite dessert in the entire city!

Have you ever smelled heaven ? If you have walked in to Mon Petit Choux, then you definitely have! Everything is melt-in-your-mouth amazing! We will have to visit again very soon because they were already sold out of cream puffs before we got there. But we did come home with macaroons, Danish, cheesecake, and a cookie.

This is a magnificent little place. And I'm not just saying that because they complimented my beard (but it helped). It's delightful as soon as you walk through the door. They take time to explain every item to you if you'd like, and they keep the standards for the quality of their baked goods high. I took home a big box and there's still so much more there to try. I will absolutely be back. If you're anywhere near downtown Cincinnati, I highly recommend.

If you're looking for a venue for a baby shower or bridal shower, you needn't look further. I attended a baby shower here, and it is an absolutely beautiful atmosphere; charming and homey without being stuffy or kitsch. The tea service was marvelous, the food was lovely, and they even accommodated gluten-free. I cannot recommend it enough!

This was an amazing place for afternoon tea, with tasty baked goods. The service was exceptional and atmosphere perfect. There was live piano playing through our entire experience. The teas were exceptional and just an overall unique experience. Highly recommend!

A very charming little place offering treats and tea in a beautiful setting akin to English Tea Rooms with some tea time party history thrown in by the owner. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday with a handful of friends and they had the best of time dressing up and chatting away with hot chocolate, snacks and treats. Loved it all and highly recommend this place to support local businesses.

We came for the afternoon tea and was so nice! I didn’t realize it was a group experience with other tables also there for the tea but it was really a good time. I enjoyed that we were given a brief history of the house, the atmosphere was so good. I loved that there was also live music with someone playing a keyboard in the background, great touch! Highly recommend!

Came for my Bachelorette party! Food was delicious, most of the tea was delicious I would definitely do this again. It was a fun experience!!

I took my daughter here to celebrate her 35th birthday. We absolutely loved this quaint, charming tea house! Owner Julie was wonderful & accommodating; we enjoyed all the food, as well as the beautiful live piano music. Can't wait to go back for the holidays. I highly recommend!

Clarity bakery and tea room is a must! So cute! The building has lots of old original character. The service and food are excellent! You must try the chocolate chip band bread!

*THIS IS FROM THE FORMER CAKE RACK BAKERY** The Cake Rack team is always very attentive and has tons of gluten free options! Gluten free donuts, gluten free chocolate torte, gluten free red velvet cake and carrot cake, gluten free oatmeal and cherry cookies plus salads and sandwiches for lunch. I can't rave about this place enough, please come out and support small businesses! They have gf focaccia bread and white bread in addition to their desserts. Vegan options available as well.

Wonderful pastry shop alongside Findlay Market. I had an orange cranberry scone that was delicious and would gladly return to try something else again next time.

The croissants are AMAZING! I tried a croissant baked with ham and Swiss from there recently, expecting to just enjoy a favorite classic combination. Instead, when I took my first bite, it was so simple yet perfectly delicious that I had to close my eyes to savor the moment. It was like somehow being magically transported to a fabulous patisserie in France. The croissant was so outstanding that it was literally a transformative experience. I cannot wait to go back to Mainwood Pastry for more.

Our family LOVES everything we've ever had here over the last few years. When we bring our family who have multiple allergies, they always have something safe and yummy to eat. If you love scones or chocolate chip cookies, you will find the best in the city at Cake Rack.

GO HERE! Drop everything and go here and never look back! Some of the sweetest, most thoughtful service I've ever received. Took my celiac husband here for a birthday brunch and they added a gluten free donut with a candle to his meal. Also picked up a gf carrot cake I had previously ordered for him and it was DELICIOUS! The eggs I had there for brunch were seriously THE best I've ever had. Very cute and unique dining area. I could go on and on!

The very best rich and decedent Dutch chocolate cake I've ever had. I dream about this cake and make sure I have a slice every time I go to the Market. It's so rich and delicious that one piece lasts three days!! The apple gallate'...divine. A wonderful flaky crust with not too sweet apples.

I've love their pastries at Deeper Roots coffee for a long time. They simply have the best blueberry danishes on the face of the planet. Try one, you absolutely must, you won't regret it.

I was recently at an event where Street Pops was a vendor on a very hot and humid evening and was so excited to see they were there. Always refreshing, and love that they are made with all natural ingredients! Highly recommend them.

Streetpops food truck was at an even at my office. Do not miss out on getting one of their frozen treats. I had the avocado and it was incredible and tasted nothing like what I thought it would taste. Think citrus and vanilla - maybe that was the color making me think that but wow!

We got the self serve mobile cart for our reception, and it was so much fun! Kids and adults alike loved it. Adds a fun touch to any event, and very reasably priced.

The tastiest handmade popsicles you will ever have. Be sure to try the special seasonal flavors, my favorites are the strawberry pineapple and the Vietnamese coffee. Great service, with carts at great local Cincinnati events and a lovely little shop across from Chili Time. Some free parking is usually available.

I had their popsicles at an event and they were PERFECT for a summer event! I had an orange one and it was so creamy and delicious!

I ordered 100 mini popsicles and rented a popsicle cart and rainbow umbrella for delivery for my daughter’s baptism. I was charged $460 dollars. I asked for a photo of the set up I would receive so I could plan for placement. I did not receive the photo. I also did not receive the umbrella I rented. I did not receive the flavors I requested and was not communicated with to choose other flavors. When I brought these issues to Streetpops attention I received a weak response. They didn’t make it right, which would have involved refunding some of the money I paid. Overall a very expensive disappointment.

Their flavors are thoughtful and unique, and there's something for everyone from healthy to decadent. They are available at a few spots around OTR, but the selection here is the best. Note that they're only open during the warm season.

Ben made our wedding cake for us and it was by far the best cake I have ever tasted. It was moist, delicious and to die for. Ben is a genuine, kind guy to work with, easy to get in touch with and he will accommodate anything you would want you cake to look and taste like. Ben even delivered our cake to the wedding venue. He is extremely talented and we are thankful that he made our cake for us.

Ben made our wedding cake, as well as delicious mini pastries for the reception. He did an incredible job - people were raving! Not only was the cake itself delicious, but he used homemade preserves and jellies as the filling. I was coordinating my wedding from a distance, and he was super fun and responsive throughout the process. The cake was beautifully decorated, and was so personalized. It was all we could do not to hit up his pop-up shop on our way out of town. He's a professional, and you will love him.

Ben came to a community event and came prepared to give 1,000's of people his delicious desserts (free)! It is impressive that someone is so willing to freely give, and I would support his business for this reason alone!

We had the pleasure of creating Ben's website and helping him with his new re-brand. He's been fantastic and so much fun to work with!

Ben was so easy to work with for our wedding cake. He did a fabulous job and it was exactly as we had discussed. Our cake was absolutely delicious!! Thank so much for making a stressful time... amazing! My mother-in-law also had Ben make a special cake for our rehearsal dinner. It was incredible. The Audi wheel was exactly like my husband’s wheel. Keep up the extraordinary work!!!!

Ben's cakes are THE BEST. He's so creative and his talent doesn't stop with decorating cakes... his cakes taste the best, too! I use him for every birthday celebration, baby shower, bridal shower, etc. that has come up since I met him! His desserts are worth every penny!

Delicious, hand-crafted donuts!

I've only eaten cookies from this place thinking they will get better, but I just disappoint myself each time. I haven't given anything else a try yet, but the cookies are the main reason for the 2 Star rating. Either change your recipe or stop selling all together.

I was looking to get a piece of this glorious ice cream parlor and it did not disappoint. The staff were courteous and the Buckeye Blitz lived up to the hype. I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and richness.

Love this location! Efficient and kind service every time. S'mores ice cream is great! Pints are available. Benches are available outside but tables are also available inside. Baked goods, donuts, and coffees are there in the mornings.

Wow, amazing ice cream! We tried a dip of each - Salted Caramel, Black Raspberry Chip, Fresh Peach and Butter Pecan. Fast friendly service. We also picked up some additional treats in the bakery section. All good!

Hadn’t been to this location before and it’s as solid as other Graeter’s locations I’ve been to. Friendly service and great tasting ice cream. Not a ton of seating inside but there are a few tables outside, which is nice if the weather is cooperative.

We stopped at Graeter's after the "No Kings" March for a little refreshment. It was a wonderful experience. Sarah was probably one of the nicest, friendliest, kindest workers I've ever encountered. Not only did she scoop us some delicious cones, but was so helpful in directing us to the cooler for a Pint of Buckeye Blitz. She's truly a gem and any employer would be thrilled to have her. Thanks, Graeter's.

We went to go try the new Dubai chocolate milkshake which we were excited for. When we ordered, the worker sighed in response to us asking if it was available. While we were waiting, there were 2 other customers inside as well. They continued to trash talk Graeter’s saying the store was gross, the other workers were lazy, and how mad they were that someone promoted this new milkshake. We felt uncomfortable waiting and felt like they were purposely saying these things loud so we could hear. Do not know their names but it was on the night of October 6th.

Flavors are very limited and coming to any shake it’s just a drink of ice completely. Their rude stares and tone of voice were completely unnecessary. Customer service should be polite and welcoming, especially in a place like an ice cream store. If you can’t be patient with customers making a choice, especially in an ice cream shop, it says a lot about how little they value customer service.

A local business colleague who is an ice cream aficionado highly recommended I try Graeter's ice cream during my Cincinnati visit, and being an ice cream lover myself, I had to give them a try. It turned out to be a great recommendation - I only now wish there was a Graeter's in my home town! I've been several times since, and although all the flavors I've tried are really good, their best really is the Black Cherry Chocolate. I'll order this every time and never get tired of it. The ice cream has an authentic cream base, and they use quality mix-ins to create a perfect ice cream. So many premium ice cream joints use way too much sugar in their ice cream that it results in a sickly overpowering sweetness (there is nothing "premium" about adding twice the amount of sugar that anyone needs or wants). Not Graeter's - their ice cream balances the creaminess with the sweetness, which results in a much better product. The ice cream parlor also has an assortment of baked goods and chocolates, which look really appealing, but I have not yet tried them. At the very least, they have something for everyone. Although I've only been here a few times, on two different occasions there were some boisterous altercations inside the parlor with loiterers coming in and creating a scene (unrelated to the business itself). Nothing dangerous, but take note that this location may have all sorts of people wandering through. In other words, you may get dinner and a show!

This was my first time eating Graeter’s since we were visiting from out of town, but well worth the stop. I had raspberry chip and it was great.

Graeter’s always has such a welcoming, kind, and very cozy vibe. It feels like they are welcoming you straight into their home. The workers always have a smile on their faces and seem so happy to serve. Thank you Graeter’s!!

This location is very clean and the staff are friendly. They have a variety of non ice cream treats and souvenirs too. Don't sleep on their mango sorbet, that flavor is phenomenal! Highly recommend stopping in for a scoop. They have pretty limited seating inside, but if the weather is nice there are plenty of tables out on the square.

Staff was friendly. Prompt service. Ice cream was very good. Creamy, tasty, lots of “chips” (more like hunks) in my cookie dough. No left overs!! Price was about the same as back home. Not great but not bad. Got a reds helmet cup for the fun of it!!

Graeter's ice cream shop downtown is great! The black raspberry chocolate chip was so flavorful!!! One scoop in a cup= $5 even or 5.25 in a waffle cone.They also have a key lime pie flavor that I'm going to have to try next time. You can get coffee here, donuts, cookies, candy, chocolate, and other goodies too. There's plenty of places to sit inside and you can people watch at fountain square. Pretty cool! ⛲👍🍦🍨💝🍧🍬🍩☕🎀😍

I had tried Graeter’s in pints at grocery stores here in NJ, and had always found it a bit too icey and not creamy enough. I prefer brands like Tillamook, which I find much creamier. But on a recent visit to Cincinnati, some friends from the area insisted that I had to try ‘the Original’ Graeters from one of the shops. I agree that it was better than the packaged ice cream I had tried before but I’m still not sure it is worth 5 stars. I tried chocolate chip, and while the ice cream was good, I was disappointed with the size of the ‘chips’. They were huge hunks of flaky chocolate. Too big for my liking. One piece took up the entire width of the cup! In summary, very good ice cream…but not the best and flavor choice will have a big impact on your assessment.

Cute bakery attached to the Hilton hotel. I tried the red velvet and the lemon cupcakes. Surprisingly the Lemon won out of the two. I love red velvet but this one was so cold from the fridge I didn’t get to love it like I had hoped. I’m guessing they’re not made daily and I get that based on supply and demand for the location. Nevertheless it was still good. The lemon seemed much more fresh and had the perfect amount of zest for a lemon flavor. Was not over powering, but just right. The creme icing was sweet and good as well. The lady working there was very sweet and welcoming. I did eat all of both if that tells you anything. I would definitely go there again. Give them a try.

Overall, while everything looks delicious, and the cupcake I had is very tasty, I am unable to give above a 4/5 *ONLY because* I have yet to try anything other than the Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcake. I will definitely returning to try other flavors! Continue for more details! I went in for the first time and asked for a recommendation. I'm always hesitant about cupcakes and cakes from businesses, because I find most of the time, the cakes and icings have very little flavor outside of "sweet" and "sugar". I was told that straight up that the cream cheese icing they make uses a lot less sugar than the butter cream they make. (To be expected!) But more importantly, the worker who assisted me actually seemed to take my desires into consideration to be able to recommend the best cupcake she could to me. I was recommended the Strawberry cupcake with cream cheese icing. The cake itself has a very lovely light but distinct strawberry flavor, and the cream cheese icing *actually* tastes like cream cheese! The flavors even stand up to being placed in a bowl along side fresh strawberries! I am very happy and will most definitely be returning to try their other flavors.

Delicious lemon cupcake. Very flavorful and moist. Ate my cupcake 24 hours after purchasing and it was still super fresh. The staff working was both welcoming and knowledgeable of the different flavors. Definitely recommend.

Delicious cupcakes!! We chose 4 and had the vanilla sugar cookie, strawberry, lemon, and banana pudding. Definitely sweet but not too much (I hate when frosting is super sugary and hurt your teeth, so these were perfect), they were moist and delicious, even the next day! The girls working there were extremely helpful and polite. Worth a stop if you're looking for a small sweet treat!

I work at Amazon and my work ordered a bunch of Cupcakes from one of these stores and the Cupcake I had was the best Cupcake I have ever eaten in my entire life. The icing wasn’t overpowering with sweetness and was not overloaded with pure sugar, the icing was a perfect balance of sweetness and it melted in your mouth.

I had 130 of these cupcakes at my wedding years ago. We’ve been coming back for years. Hands down the BEST cupcakes you will ever have’ I highly recommend these to anyone! Get them!! Have them at your wedding. We made a cupcake tower. It was a HIT!

Satisfy your sweet tooth with gourmet cupcakes downtown. They have several delicious flavors. I got the peanut butter chocolate cupcake and the banana pudding cupcake - both were as good as they look. They're only open during the day, so enjoy an afternoon treat or at least pick up your after dinner dessert or snack before they close at 6:00 pm.

Amazing coffee shop in the Wyoming area. I’d say they have the best baristas in the area, who truly know about coffee and how to properly make it! Gwen made our drinks this morning, and she’s a mad scientist. Great food too. Don’t sleep on Wyoming Community Coffee!

Conclusion - Wyoming CC is a nice Coffee shop to go check out. A fun place to hang but still a good Environment to get work done. Meet up with friends, or just do some reading. Really Good coffee, would recommend any traditional type of drink (ex. Cortado). Real nice people. Also stays open later than most surrounding coffee shops. Great for a late evening cup of coffee. Check out the full review on our Instagram or TikTok @hunting_coffee

Wife and I where just out for a Saturday drive and stumble upon this Niche little coffee shop, LOVE the cozy eclectic atmosphere, We try to avoid CHAIN Coffee shops and love finding local, I had coffee from Nicaragua and wife had a Cappuccino, decent prices, friendly staff. Glad we stopped in for a little coffee. Any time we are in The Wyoming neighborhood we definitely will stop by for a cup of love Definitely will be back when it’s warmer to enjoy the patio area

Very good drinks and treats! Quick and friendly service and the atmosphere of the shop is so cozy and cutesy. We’ll definitely come here again!

Cozy, Delicious, and Full of Charm! Wyoming Community Coffee is such a gem! I stopped in for a quick treat and ended up having one of the best coffee shop experiences I’ve had in a while. I ordered an iced caramel latte and a chocolate croissant—both were absolutely perfect. The latte was smooth, just the right amount of sweetness, and had a rich caramel flavor that didn’t overpower the coffee. The chocolate croissant was flaky, fresh, and had the perfect amount of chocolate inside. Warm, buttery, and satisfying - exactly what you'd hope for. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a great neighborhood vibe. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel at home, whether you’re grabbing something to go or settling in for a while. Friendly staff, great service, and a clear sense of community. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

Excellent coffee shop right outside of the bridal district. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the coffee was fantastic. They have lots of seating options inside and out of the store which was great to see. They coffee cake was some of the best I have ever had. It is wrapped in plastic which was nice and sanitary, but it caused the frosting to stick to the plastic rather than the cake. Overall an excellent place to grab a coffee and get some work done.

Friendly staff and excellent brew. A great place to have a casual cup of coffee and a light bite with a friend. Could do with a few more cushions for their booth seats but the outdoor lawn seating is peaceful and the general atmosphere is classic. One of my favorite spots to visit when visiting my family home!

Just happened upon this place on the day before they're shutting the doors after 59+ years. Old school restaurant and bakery. Got the quiche daily special and it came with pasta salad and cranberry bread (cake). Very delicious and a steal at $7.25. Bought a cream puff on the way out and it was excellent. The young lady behind the bakery counter was slow as molasses and gave the impression that she wanted to be anywhere but there. Heard a lot of people reminiscing about their memories of visiting this place throughout the years. Kinda cool.

Great old-style sit-down breakfast and lunch place and full bakery. Prices are still very good. Great service. Hours are slightly different for the restaurant and bakery, see photo from 9/20/2021. If your getting eggs get the rye toast, marble rye baked right there.

Great little bakery. Doughnuts were really good. Most impressed with the young lady behind the counter. Super friendly and upbeat. Hard to find good people anymore, almost impossible to find a young person with her customer service skills that takes that much pride in what they are doing! Great job to her mom and dad and keep it up young lady. You are awesome!

I ordered my cake yesterday morning and was able to pick it up by 2. Not only was my cake identical to the picture I emailed them but it was also so delicious. Everyone was wanting more of it including me. I have and will forever recommend this bakery to everyone I know. I am forever grateful to them for making my baby girl’s 21st birthday cake the best she has ever had. She was so happy considering she is the one who showed me the pic of the cake she wanted and couldn’t believe how it looked just like the pic. Love this place I will be back❤️

My husband ordered my red velvet birthday cake here. My mother and I went early to pick it up and enjoyed their breakfast, the potato's where lack luster but the Belgian waffles where good😁. The cake icing wasn't as sweet as I'm used to but was really creamy and good. The cake itself however was dryer than a desert and crumbled all over☹️ will not be going back for their cakes however may try their other baked goods in the future.

No frills bakery and diner with good eats. This place is close to our new office so I have been eating breakfast and lunch here pretty regular. Today I had the rueben for the 1st time and it was quite tasty served on their toasted in house marble rye. Breakfast have also been good. Basic fresh food at a price that is easy on the wallet! I haven't tried all of the donuts yet, but they look great.

This is my absolute favorite place to get donuts and other desserts! They are always delicious, fresh, and there is always something new to try. The prices are very reasonable as well. They frequently have seasonal or other memorable designs for important events, even cookies for the Kentucky Derby featuring the contenders! The icing on the cake is definitely the owner. She remembers her regulars and will make an effort to converse with you during your visit.

I ordered 40 butterfly shaped cookies for my granddaughters birthday. They were beautiful pastel colors with lovely decorations. As pretty as they were, they tasted amazing! The texture was on the softer side, which I prefer, and the kids loved them! Sure wish I had taken a good picture!

My 9yo loves Gigi’s so much. They always have the best flavors and their icing isn’t overwhelmingly sweet like some places. Plus the employees are always so friendly and make my son feel like the most special kid in Cincinnati. This is our special place to go when we want to have a mommy-son night for treats.

They are amazing!!!! Alexis is the best! my baby shower cake turn out amazing!!!! & taste even better. This has been my second time ordering from them & im more than satisfied with their work!

Tasted good, but a $4 cupcake & $8 set of mini cupcakes shouldn’t be flipped on its side. GiGi’s needs Better packaging with a way to hold the cupcake up inside the carryout container.

Let me explain something to you. This place has cupcakes. But ignore that. It should be called Gigi's Cookies. Their stuffed cookies, specifically peanut butter stuffed cookies, was drafted up by God's own design. The butter cream stuffing was perfect. The peanut butter cookie itself was perfect, and there's two, so that is double perfect. It was phenomenal. I will dream of those cookies until I go back. P.S. I would take a photo but they're already gone.

So this is the 3rd year I’ve had a cake made with Gigis and I’m not gonna lie it was a little disappointing I wanted a Bluey cake for my baby’s birthday and I like to give the cake decorator creative freedom and the last couple times I was very impressed. This time was just not it. It was very beautiful but not at all on theme. I wanted a Bluey cake and I got just a blue cake… the top was in the cartoon font but that was about it. So I feel with how much I paid for the cake it just wasn’t worth it.

Bf got me these delicious cupcakes for my birthday, moisture perfect, rich and sweet (but not too sweet) omg so yummy!

The cakes are ALWAYS DELICIOUS!!! Thank you very much 🥰 I appreciate the job well done ! Even though my husband nickname was misspelled SQUEAK 💕 BUT AGAIN CAKE TASTE WONDERFUL!!!

A Cincinnati icon great neighborhood Bakery worth the drive just to come get some of their tasty delights I highly recommend you swing by today

My husband stops here and buys donuts for work every Friday. We decided to try the cakes and I am so glad we did. The icing is not greasy or overdone. Even the guests that weren’t typically fans of any cake said this cake was delicious.

A good old fashioned hometown bakery with generations of recipes and excellent products, I remember as a little kid going here I remember is a teenager. I remember as an adult and now I remember as a grandpa coming here. Amazing food by amazing people that really care

They are just amazing! I highly recommend the blueberry donut and my husband loves the squared baked cheesecake. He has been going to this bakery since the late 80s with his grandpa. I had never heard of them before but now I only go to this bakery. I highly recommend them.. the staff is sweet too 💜

WOW! Food & Wine was right, these donuts are fantastic. This is a classic neighborhood bakery with street parking and no seating. The clerk was exceptionally helpful and recommended their most popular donut. I don't know what it was called, I just know it was made by a bakery goddess. Simply delicious, I purchased a sampling of cake donuts, every one was delicious. Prices are very reasonable considering these are exceptional donuts. They have a wide variety of breads and it appears they do cakes. Didn't try those, donut indicator says everything they make is good. Highly recommend, there is a reason they have the best donuts in Cincinnati, you owe it to yourself to find a way to go here.

Highly recommend! Such sweet and friendly ladies we got to meet this morning! Donuts are so homemade, soft and so yummy! Had a great visit, cant wait to go back! Nothing better then actual homemade bakery goods, not like others!

It's been a long time since I've been in a bakery but it was so worth going to NCH. No Donuts, but the Danish are absolutely to die for. They literally melt in your mouth. Prices are very reasonable. Pastries and the cupcakes are on the list for next trip. I can't wait to go back.

I booked North College Hill bakery and Stephanie for my wedding cake/cupcakes and I couldn't have been happier! When we went for the consultation, where they let us try multiple cupcake flavors FOR FREE, we knew they were the best choice! The cupcakes were absolutely delicious, in fact I can safely say that their salted caramel cupcake is the best cupcake I've had in my LIFE! We loved it so much we decided to go with that flavor for our cutting cake even! And Stephanie made my dreams come true for a hiking themed wedding cake by designing beautiful mountains along the sides of the cake! The staff at the bakery and Stephanie were so friendly and warm, and easy to work with. Lastly but most importantly, I still cannot believe how affordable this vendor was- in a time where wedding costs are through the roof, North College Hill Bakery gave me relief with affordable low pricing yet high quality taste!

PROS ➕ Local ➕ Great selection ➕ Fast service CONS ➖ None Date visited: 11/14/2024 In my quiet hours, I often think of that bakery... a little sanctuary that called to me one day when my work and weariness left me longing for something sweet. I passed it so often, always too hurried to stop, but that day, the craving was too strong to ignore. So I stepped inside. The shop, small and unassuming from the outside, stood on a busy road where cars moved like restless tides during lunch hours. The parking lot beside it, surprisingly spacious, welcomed all visitors, though most people preferred street parking for a quick in-and-out. I joined the others browsing the rows of treats, the air rich with the warm scent of baked goods. The shop was larger than it appeared, its interior dark yet comforting. Behind the glass counter, all sorts of delights, confections, and golden pastries perfectly arranged as if they knew they were meant to be admired. The walls, with their neat price boards and simple decorations, whispered of care and quiet pride. There wasn’t much time to linger, so I chose what I loved most: coconut sweets and cinnamon treats. The lady behind the counter moved with practiced ease, her hands quick but gentle as she slipped my choices into a plain brown paper bag. The exchange was simple, like a ritual performed a thousand times but still carrying a quiet grace. When I stepped back into the world, bag in hand, I felt like a child who had just done his first shopping gig. I devoured the treats in no time, their sweetness and warmth filling me with energy. They were perfect, just the thing to restore me after a long day of work. I know I’ll return, someday, to try every delightful thing this humble bakery offers. Until then, I leave this review in hope of guiding frequent and to-be customers. This little shop deserves to be found and loved.

This is a great home town bakery. They make a long list of baked goods that are consistently good. Sorry to see the store front close, but glad that I can still get their cakes at local markets.

When St. Lawrence bakery in East Price Hill closed NCH bakery became my families go to stop for all baked goods. We're more than willing to drive 30+ miles for birthday cakes decorated anyway we choose, breakfast cheesecake, apple cinnamon coffee cakes, tea cookies, brownies, breads and buns. They are all delicious. And the staff has always been willing to take my large orders by phone - a week ahead of pick-up.

My mom ordered a large order for my brother’s Xavier U grad party and they were SOO good!! they turned out so cute, and we highly recommend NCH. Great service and so delicious & cute. High praise from all the guests

Stephanie was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for us for our wedding cake! Not only are the prices so much better than competitors but the quality is superior!!! We will never stop recommending NCH Bakery, they are the best! ❤️

Older female employee working today was not friendly and seemed annoyed with any questions we had. I would not have to ask at all if the cakes were marked with prices. They are in a case and are not labeled with flavors or prices. There is a sign that gives limited information on top of the case only in very small print. I'll make sure to visit the location in Highland Heights from now on like I usually do. The employee actually walked away while we were talking and eventually the younger female took over and helped. Almost left without buying anything. I usually don't post reviews at all unless they are good. But being kind isn't difficult.

I was treated very poorly with this company. I called in advance to see if they carried chocolate German cake,the lady said we have 5 in stock. I headed straight over to pick up this cake,to get home and open the box to see this. When I called about the cake the woman was not friendly she responded with a frank “IM SORRY” this is how the cake should be. I responded with this cake looks like a pancake,it’s super thin and lopsided and very hard. I have never been more disappointed

I Was Nice and clean the 2 Lady's were nice and Very Helpful the Blueberry pound cake was dry. I was Looking For A Fresh Moist pound cake. It was At The End Of the Day too. So Maybe Try being there Early

We were treated very poorly by the staff at Servatti located in Oakley. We went to collect a customized cake for our dad's birthday but the staff was very rude.

The best cakes in town! Our go-to for over 40 years! Thank you to the Hyde Park staff especially for rushing this last minute order. It’s beautiful!!

European style bakery that has been a fixture in the city for 60 years. Fresh breads, pastries, cakes and more. Not quite as big as it once was but always has to be in consideration for that special occasion.

Everything here is amazing! We have been celebrating birthdays with Servatii's cakes for years. This year, we decided to try a bunch of their treats and we loved every single one of them.
