The 42 best pastries and patisseries in Cincinnati

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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. 🥰🥧

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.

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.

I’ll be dreaming about the Shrimp and Scallop Vol Au Vent for the foreseeable future. They type of meal you have that ruins other meals because of how good it is. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, the puff pastry was nice and flakey, and the shrimp and scallops were incredible. The ONLY note I would have is it felt like our waitress kept forgetting about us, but she was very kind. And you can draw on the tables. I should’ve led with that.

During my visit to Cincinnati one of my friends took me there for breakfast. Had a cup of hot chocolate and a french dip sandwich. It was an amazing dish and loved it. The staff was very friendly and supportive. We had a nice time enjoying the breakfast. This is a nice restaurant. Loved it.

Jean Ro would be appalled at some of the things being served here claiming to be French. I do not want to write an essay, but the server was extremely rude, the food was mediocre and lukewarm at best. The photographs are of their $7 side of fries, which were cold and had to be sent back and a “seasonal fruit tarte” which as having lived in France for over a decade I can tell you that this is not a tarte at all, When she asked how it was, and we informed her that it was misleading as that is not actually a fruit tarte she decided to argue with us and say that the Patisserie chef is fully trained, and therefore that must be a seasonal fruit tarte and “honey, you’re wrong” is what she said. This place earned 3 strikes in one visit with me. Head to “Luca” in Mt Adams if you actually want an “authentic French Bistro”.At least the Chef is French. I have added a picture of an actual French fruit tart for reference.

I had a mixed experience with breakfast. The two eggs over medium were cooked perfectly, with nice runny yolks. The bacon was crispy and flavorful, and the red potatoes were good—well-seasoned and nicely roasted. The side of fruit was fresh and delicious, adding a bright note to the meal. However, the Eggs Benedict was a letdown; the overall dish felt underwhelming, and slightly under cooked eggs. So I probably wouldn’t order it again. The Bloody Mary was decent, with not much spice, nothing standout. Overall, solid for the classics, but I’d skip the Benedict next time.

Best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had! Warm atmosphere, friendly service and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

We came in for brunch and the food was exceptional. We ordered the catch of the day (which was salmon with tomato basil risotto) and a shrimp and scallop dish as well. Both were delicious. Our server was great, he answered all of our questions. It was my birthday and they let me pick a dessert from the case! I got the three-layer mousse and I recommend it. Overall, great service and quality of food. We will be back!

Can't complain about this joint. Lively, service is excellent and the food is great. Dropped in for brunch and enjoyed it immensely.

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!!

My wife and I recently moved to Northern Kentucky and were absolutely thrilled to discover The Baker's Table in Newport, Kentucky! From the moment we walked in, Rachel, Jake, and the entire staff made us feel incredibly welcome and right at home. It's fantastic to find such a wonderful farm-to-table restaurant in our new area. We opted for the Chef's Tasting Menu with the Non-Alcoholic Drink pairing, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Each dish was a unique work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. One of the mocktails, featuring Carrot and Chrysanthemum, was so refreshing and delicious we joked about wanting a whole pitcher to enjoy on our deck at home! While every course was outstanding, the lamb ragu was a definite highlight. The flavors and textures were phenomenal, and the inclusion of what they called "lamb bacon" was truly one of the most delicious things I've tasted in a long time! What we also appreciated was that despite the high quality of the dining experience, the atmosphere was relaxed and unpretentious. Even the background music had songs that made us smile and added an easy-going vibe. The intimate setting made us feel connected rather than lost in a large, bustling space. The staff was attentive and genuinely responsive to our needs. It's clear that The Baker's Table is a business that prioritizes sustainable practices and truly cares about the quality of their ingredients and the people they serve. We loved hearing the stories behind the beverages and the inspiration for each dish, and the fact that the menu changes monthly based on seasonal availability is something we greatly appreciate. Our first experience at The Baker's Table was truly memorable, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly, highly recommended!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect rehearsal dinner than the one we had at The Baker's Table! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was nothing short of enchanting. The attention to detail in every corner of the restaurant added to the intimate, warm atmosphere that made the evening so special. The food was truly exceptional! Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with fresh flavors and thoughtful combinations. Our guests were raving about every course, and I honestly don’t think there was a bite left on anyone’s plate! What made the night even more memorable was the impeccable service. The team at The Baker's Table went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. From assisting with our unique requests to making sure everyone was taken care of without skipping a beat, we were truly impressed. They made us feel like family, ensuring that our rehearsal dinner was seamless and stress-free. We were able to fully relax and enjoy the evening because we knew we were in the best hands possible. We couldn’t be more grateful to The Baker's Table for making our rehearsal dinner such a magical, unforgettable night.

My husband and I had a divine meal at The Baker's Table. The thoughtfulness that has gone into every element of this restaurant really shines through. Each and every dish was exquisite. We had the vegetarian tasting menu. So thankful to have found such an absolute gem right here in Newport

We went for a wine night while on vacation and OMG was so legit. Had the non-alcoholic pairings and was so pleased that the staff put so much thought into a non-alcoholic option (so rare! Thank you!) The food was incredible and such a treat! I wish we had anything even close to this back home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 11/10

Didn't pat for it, so I can not speak on the price, but everything off the menu was good. Drinks were good, too. Easy and quick service. The salmon and beet seems like a weird combination but was surprisingly good. The gnocchi has the best texture. Some of the best gnocchi I've had**. Very light. Steak was good, although I have had better. [Medium Rare] The pumpkin cheesecake was also delicious. Good balance of flavor and not being heavy consideriflng what it is. [The molasses gharam cracker crust is 👨🏽‍🍳 💋]

Truly a Gem , one of the best Restaurant and Cocktail bar I ever been in my Whole Life !! Is an Experience, the menu itself change every month or two and this is really something so special that make the local farm and products get known around Kentucky or Oahio !! It's a must if never been there ! Let the Sommelier or the Barman/Mixologist guide you through one of the best Wine pairing of your life !! Still the best thing about this place as the name tells you is their Bread ! Homemade and home baked bread, something that not even in Italy you can get anymore !!! Something so unique and special that people need to make the que or line outside to try ! Believe me ! All the wine pairing were perfectly match and another amazing thing we're the Amari ! After a good 4/5 meal dishes, need to have a good Amaro and their selection in Italian Amari were Awesome !!! Let Jake guide you through the end of the meal with his amazing advise and recommendations !! A truly blessing to have been there two or three times so far !! I love their sorbet with olive oil!!! Incredible experience and also the prices were outstanding for the quality offered. ! Be back for sure ! Thank you David !!!

Highly recommend this restaurant for a special event! The food was absolutely delicious- we tried every dish on the menu and there wasn’t a single one that wasn’t incredible! Our server Jasmine, bartender Jake, and sommelier Ryan, as well as the rest of the staff, worked seamlessly together to provide a really great experience. The owner Dave came out to introduce himself- it’s always a good sign when the owner gets his hands dirty (metaphorically) and works with the staff to do what needs to be done. Absolutely cannot wait to come back and try a whole new round of dishes next season!

We've been coming to Tag's since it opened. Although we don't visit as much these days since we moved, it's always a five star experience. The staff and the owner are absolutely wonderful people! We absolutely love this place and it tops my list of great places.

Food and service were outstanding. I ordered goetta and a waffle. Lots of options to pick from. Love that goetta is a protein option. Staff were friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be back. Tags is definitely worth a visit.

We had such a great time here! I will definitely be going back soon. Great vibe here and everyone is very helpful! We were able to sit down right away. Great service all around. Loved the holiday chalk board you could tell a lot of effort and love went into it. I loved the grilled cheese and Turkey sandwich and the French toast. I also got a smoothie, so good! They have so many drink, tea, and coffee options. Good for a quick bite to go or dining in.

I love the hummus and bread, I add tapenade and cukes for a little twang and crunch! Mmm mmm good! I also got the tomato soup, it smells wonderful and has a great flavor. It’s a little too much like a sauce for me but I’m use to smooth tomato soup and this had some volume/ texture! (Not a bad thing, just not my vibe) I also tried the mango jet tea, delicious and a quick bite out of the meltdown melt (I want more but it’s for later)

Came for a semi-covered patio to relax with my dog. There was a good bit of business going on, and I know why now. Very reasonable prices, flavorful and interesting breakfast, good service. Excellent coffee. I am vegetarian, ordered too much food and I will be back to keep sampling around the menu.

Cute cafe perfect for an inexpensive breakfast. We had the breakfast burrito and French toast. Both were tasty and served quickly. We had a 10 minute wait to be seated on a Saturday morning. Plenty of free parking.

Good variety of food options for breakfast and lunch. Indoor and outdoor seating and they offered water for our 3 dogs. Prices a bit on the high side, but quality also high.

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!

An absolute gem offering delicious Syrian cuisine. We loved the baba ghanouj, and the grill mix was well seasoned and tender. While the cheese boat didn't quite meet our expectations—feeling a bit less rich than expected—the other dishes more than compensated. Overall, a highly enjoyable meal.

Today, my family and I visited Baladi Restaurant for lunch. It's a Middle Eastern-style place. We ordered the Baladi Sampler and the Baladi Grill. The prices were a bit on the higher side, but the food was absolutely delicious.

Syrian food selection was impressive and vast. Good food served up by a friendly waitstaff. My surprised treat is the lemonade mint drink.

I got the fried veggie flatbread wrap and the mint lemonade. Both exceeded my expectations. I wish the flatbread wrap had more flavor but overall it was very good. The menu was clearly marked for vegetarian and vegan dishes. Service was minimal.

Warm and vibrant atmosphere. Service was amazing and the food is phenomenal. Everything was so fresh and delicious! The meats are seasoned and grilled to perfection! This place is a real hidden gem, if you want middle eastern cuisine in Cincinnati there is hands down no better place!

Simple but tasty and authentic food served by friendly staff. Good value too.

We thought it was closed and we almost left. So glad we didn't! Service was super friendly and fast. The eggplant in the mousaka was cooked to perfection. Hubby had the lamb kabob. Delicious!

A coworker catered treats from Cakes & Pastries by George at our work and I knew I had to return. I wish one was closer to where I live, but ended up making the trip to the bakery when I was on that side of town running an errand. These cupcakes are the best I have ever had-- they almost provoked tears of joy when I took a first bite haha!! The cupcakes are so moist and soft, but not overly sweet. There are also options for churros and macarons. I wish there were several locations around Cincinnati because I would definitely be visiting more often if it were closer! 10/10 would recommend.

This bakery have the best cupcakes i have ever tasted. Every flavor that i had has been wonderful. I have gotten my family hooked. The cupcakes are worth the price.

SO good. Truly the best cupcake I’ve ever eaten. I’m usually not a fan of frosting but I could’ve eaten this by the spoonful. The employees were so helpful. Just a PSA this place is cash or check only. I didn’t know that going in and didn’t have a way to pay and the woman working was so kind and gave me a cupcake on the house. The sweetest service.

Been buying from them for years. We wanted them to do our wedding cake. And they declined. Even with 4 months notice. I’ll never buy another cake from this place. We didn’t even get a chance to explain the kind of cake we wanted, just refused because it was too close to Easter.

best cupcakes in town! The staff is super friendly and cupcakes are always delicious. They have a great variety in flavors and also have other sweet treats but I can never get past the cupcakes! Please know that they are cash only but there is an ATM next door. Update: I have friends who live 45 minutes away and travel to buy the cupcakes here for special occasions! I still can attest to these being some of the best cupcakes and great variety anywhere in the Cincinnati area!

Amazing bakery, can meet all your needs and the staff are so friendly! George went above and beyond to give us his own cream horn because we had traveled for them. Will definitely be back for more!

My daughter’s birthday is the day after Christmas! At the last minute I needed a cake. We a chocolate cake with chocolate icing the week of Christmas and picked it up Christmas Eve!! She loved it! Delicious!! Thank you for making her day special! Remember they only accept cash!!

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.

Large and unique menu. Super fresh donuts and great value. Line moves quick. Great service. Maybe 1/3rd cup of filling in the filled donuts.

One of my favorite places to go with my family. They're a peanut free facility so it's safe for my peanut allergy friends. And not only are their pastries amazing, their sourdough bread is FANTASTIC. We buy their bread at least once a week.

Golden Hands Bakery ("Moe's" on the sign) is a great spot for your next morning meeting pickup. They open at 5am and they are fast and friendly shop for confections. Apple Fritter and Stuffed Apple Pie donuts are winners, you can't go wrong with any of the options you can choose. All fillings and frostings are made in-house. This is the only location.

I was in Cincinnati for work trip and every time I fly back home I always give treats to the flight attendants and Pilots as an appreciation of their service and hardwork! I did some research what is the best bakery in town and i came across to this cute Pastry Shop Golden Hands Bakery! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Of course I asked for some recommendations what to get and i got a nice feedback the crew. ❤️😊

Hands down the best glazed Chocolate croissants I have ever had. No contest. I work in the bakery industry, these folks are no joke. Lines can be crazy on weekends. Do everyone a favor and place an order on the weekends & Enjoy!

Excellent donuts! So many to choose from. The diamond in the rough here was a GREAT cup of coffee to go with it for only $2.25 for a large! Plenty of parking. Beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy. Highly recommend!

The best pastries and donuts in town! A perfect Sunday includes their cinnamon tart and an iced coffee. Plus, the prices are more than reasonable for handmade pastries. We live closer to three other donut shops, but my fiancé will make the trip to get Golden Hands to take donuts to his job site. ☺️

One of the best bagels I've had in the south. I got The Lil, with smoked salmon, onions, chive cream cheese, etc. It was out of this world. Had it on a pumpernickel bagel. I would order it everyday, if I could. The salmon was really high quality and you could tell from the taste. My daughter got The Katya with cucumbers, arugula and smoked trout spread. It was also delicious, and perhaps slightly less smoky and fishy than The Lil. My favorite was The Lil.

Awesome bagels. This place was super hip. They had a great system down for getting there orders up and out in a quick fashion. They also just have fantastic tasting bagels. You can get a bagel with a spread or with and egg or with both. Great place with great food I highly recommend getting bagels from this place. They were also very reasonably priced. Great spot.

Phenomenal bagels for a phenomenal price! The different cream cheese flavors they have are awesome and your allowed to add other toppings to your bagel as well like egg, or bacon. The service is quick and the establishment is clean and pleasent to be inside. They also have awesome outdoor seating. I highly recommend coming here. One word of advice. If you don't like loads of cream cheese on your bagel then ask them to go light on it. My personal opinion is that the amount of cream cheese they put on is perfect even if it was a little messier to eat :)

A great bagel spot. Lots of different bagels and schmears to choose from. I had a delicious pastrami, egg and cheese on pumpernickel. They have plenty of beverage options. It's got some cool art inside with a couple of tables and several more in a nice courtyard around the back.

Lil’s is our ~lil~ ritual… My husband and I live in the West Covington area and our favorite morning activity is to walk here for a bagel. We normally stop at Roebling for a coffee too. We absolutely love it, and they’re the best bagels EVER🥯 Seriously, we went to New York City (supposedly the best bagels in the world) and every single bagel shop we tried left us saying “meh, Lil’s is better.” Plus the staff at Lil’s is always great. They greet us when we come in and it makes us feel at home. We love eating our bagels on the back patio. We bring all of our friends here, especially if it’s their first time visiting the area. We love the sandwiches — BEC & GEC are our regulars. But the schmears, or really anything you get, will be delicious. Our favorite bagels are the Everything, Old Bay and Parmesan Pepper. We’re on the edge of our seats to see what Lil’s plans to do next. It’s a Covington staple and we truly love everything about it. #lilsforever

Lil's bagels has long since been one of the best bagel shops in the area, because they have some amazing bagels and spreads. But what really sets them apart is great customer service and great community outreach, and they've not wavered in that regard ever. I was lucky enough to run by big pandemic and grab a big sweet bagel with meat on it, which is like the best kind of combination ever. Almost everything is fresh and in-house or locally sourced and comes with a smile. Definitely check them out!

Really nice bagel spot right next to the farmer's market on weekends. Lot of really different options that would fit anyone's tastes. Back patio is shaded and really nice to just chill and enjoy the summer air. Bagels were a bit tough for my taste and spreads were pretty light hence the 4 stars. Definitely need to get here early to get an everything bagel. They were sold out by 11.

Where do I start! You can’t go wrong with anything you order here. My husband and I stop in almost weekly whether it be for pastries or dinner. The rotating ramens keep you coming back! If you wake up early on the weekend run and get a box of pastries before sellout. The hardest part is not ordering one of everything everytime you go. My husband who loves ramen orders the burger every-time we come in. He claims it’s the best in town! I always get the ramen, so we share plates. Staff is always a pleasure, the ambiance is exactly what you want out of a ramen shop, you will spend the rest of your life comparing other ramens to this ramen. I wish they offered carry out dinner as I am a take-away girly, but if we’re doing date night and I’m leaving the house for dinner this is where we’re going! Oh.. don’t forget the Shokupan!!

Will have to come back another time when earlier in the day since it seems they run out of some of their quicker-selling items fast, but this spot is cute with very kind employees. The pastries we got to try were excellent! I especially loved the sweet corn pastry and tea cookie. If you come later there are not as many options, but I plan to come back and try the ramen for sure. Definitely check this little spot out. Great place to get some studying done too. Nice, clean, and calm space.

My first coming to this place. I ordered the junk ramen. The broth was so delicious. It was perfect for a cold fall evening. It was warm and had a wonderful umami flavor. The pork was so tender I could sit here all day talk about this delicious ramen. The service was awesome and the staff is very attentive. I see why people rave about this place. The food, staff and atmosphere was great. I will come back for the pastries.

While the atmosphere, service, and location were fantastic, I was disappointed in the food. I would give the Cincinnati Style Ramen a 5/10 and say it is not worth the hype. I make various ramens from scratch at home and try as many new places as I can. Ramen and sushi are my favorite food. While I enjoy Cincinnati style chili, the ramen was lacking in flavor. The broth was a little on the bland side and lacked a good flavor “kick” that the ramen needed to stand out. The noodles were also not my favorite, as they felt “spongy” and the egg was overcooked. I would never order this again. The Hokkaido Smashburger was a 6.5/10. Same as with the ramen, it lacked the “kick” of flavor it needed to not just be “another burger.” And that is what it felt like, just another burger and not something to go out of my way to get. Overall, I feel both of these items have good potential, they just need some work in the flavor department.

The food was excellent! The Wagu beef burger and fries was the bomb! The spicy Ramen was just right in terms of heat and the broth was favorable. Will definitely be back! The food was so good that I forgot to take a photo until the end!

I got the Cinci style Ramen. It was good but overwhelming flavor. I plan to go back but get a more traditional dish. And I really wanna try their pastries, I hear it’s delicious. Otherwise it was a cool place and staff were friendly and attentive.

Bakery items taste unique but are iced cold. Gives me the feeling of eating left over bread from the day before. Would rated much higher if it was fresh and hot. Ramen noodles have nice texture. Soup base is not bad as well but the small quantity of toppings makes the experience feel like it’s all about the noodles. Missing that wholesome feeling.

I've been here about 2 times, both times the staff has been friendly & the service has been great. I don't remember what the names of these donuts were, but if I went back for a 2nd time, then you know it was good. Currently July 5th 2025, they are expected to close down soon. I won't say I knew them because I didn't, but the quality of the donuts was made with care & love, very creative designs & flavors, along with the service they provide, the environment inside is always clean.

Picked up a half dozen crullers*, grabbed a coffee, and had a pleasant breakfast on my way to work... *- A FAVORITE...if you like crullers, you'll LOVE these ...light, airy, and oh, SO good!

A wide variety of donuts are available that vary from unique to classic. The buckeye was our group's favorite. There are some tables to sit at to enjoy your sweet treat!

Johnathon and Chantelle rock. Holman’s Donuts are the best. Especially the vanilla cake with maple frosting. Leave the blueberries and bacon for someone else. Thank you.

First time trying this place. Nice indoor establishment, staff was helpful and courteous. Order a dozen assorted. All of the donuts look delicious, however, for example the original glazed tasted ok, basically standard but better than cake-like doughnuts (more on par with Krispy Kreme). Also tried the butter scotch and light roast coffee. It was barely warm, NOT HOT, not the best (tasted like free hotel lobby coffee).

Thank you, Holtman’s - Oakley! So sad to see you close this Sunday. Great donuts and friendly staff. It was a somber mood this morning in the shop. Will miss the convenience of donuts right across the street. Best of luck to all employees for whatever is next.

One of the fanciest donut shops you'll see. Donuts are pretty good. The chocolate topped donut is probably the best one I sampled. Typically these are too sweet, but not here. The rest fall a bit below my other favorite spots outside of the state. But definitely a good local option.

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.

FYI, this is basically a restaurant where you order takeout, as there is not a space for seating. The grilled cheese and tomato bisque was delicious and full of flavor. I love pesto and the pesto here was tasty. I tried the Mac n’ cheese and it was just okay, nothing spectacular about it. Surprisingly, I loved the carrot cake. Nice chunks of carrots and walnuts. The first one the cake had a slight lemony flavor to it, but it wasn’t too much.

This is a small hole in the wall place with very little parking but really good vegan-friendly choices. We ordered online and drove by to pick up. Front door is locked so you have to ring in. They do have a couple of picnic tables on the walk in front. Their vegan bagel and lox was amazing. They even have bamboo utensils.

Burger was so good my husband had eaten it all before I got my phone out. He has been vegan for years and said it is the best burger he has had in quite a while. Mac and cheese was great I added the breakfast scramble and a sausage to my meal so it doesn't come the way I took a pic loved all the food they were really nice and everything was vegan so it made ordering a breeze

I love Essen! Their waffles & homemade jam make a perfect breakfast, and I highly recommend their breakfast catering for those early business meetings. I don’t mind going into the office for the meetings when I know Essen is the caterer! The pumpkin chili is a perfect lunch for these chilly days, but I have to say the bacon cheddar burger, with its fresh toppings, is the best! I can tell that Essen cares about the quality of their food, it shows in the taste!!

My first experience and will not be my last. Not only did the staff help us with our order guiding us through the menu but also with my friend and mine food allergies. We both got the Chick Pea Dips and the included some corn tortillas and an avocado so we could make street tacos. On the fly and on the spot we were delivered an amazing meal that left us feeling full but also great about the quality of food we ate as well. The Lead Server was SO nice she gave me a Gin-Gin candy to help settle my stomach 🥰🥰😍

Absolutely delicious and very friendly staff! My favorite is their vegan lox bagel (have literally dreamed of it) and their waffles! But the biscuits and gravy are out of this world as well. The food is hearty and feels like you're eating a homemade meal! And you can feel good about supporting them, as I learned today that they pay their employees exceptionally well and are 100% zero waste. 😍 Also minority and woman owned. Highly recommend this local OTR staple!

I was in Cincinnati and needed a proper vegan breakfast.. AND FOUND IT! The chorizo breakfast burrito and potatoes were DELISH! I used Uber eats and the food was rest fast and HOT when I received it. Give this place a try!

We ordered a cake for our wedding. I love banana pudding and wanted a banana pudding flavored cake. They made us exactly what we envisioned. The layers were banana pudding between vanilla cake and had banana chips on top and they even gave us extra chips in a little bag for later. Incredible taste and service accommodating exactly what we wanted. Would highly recommend to any one reading this!

I come to Tara and Kevin with all my cake needs! They are so sweet and accommodating, and make sure they knock it out of the park for you. I most recently got my niece her 2 yr old Blues Clues cake and it was so damn cute! One of the best businesses in Findlay Market. 🖤

everyone here is AMAZING and the cakes are so CUTE! got a heart shaped cake for my partner and everyone LOVED it. the decorating was perfect and the cake was SO good. we didnt even want to touch it and ruin it. THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!!!!

Friendly owners / staff with delicious breads, pastries, and desserts! So many options to choose from, and we tried the cinnamon roll, rice crispy treat, sugar cookie, banana pudding, and garlic blossom. All are highly recommended and taste fantastic!

We have been long time fans of Makers Bakers and recently had them make the desserts for our wedding. They made us a variety of their delicious mini signature desserts and also worked with us to create an amazing custom dessert for our wedding day. Everything tasted fabulous, and we loved working with Tara and Kevin to help our dessert dreams come to life! They took so much care and time to communicate with us and do multiple tastings leading up to our big day. Please support this amazing business! They are so hardworking and lovely and you will not get a better bang for your buck!!

The banana pudding by itself is worth five stars. We also picked up the rosemary seasalt focaccia which was delicious.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved my visit to Makers Bakers! The breakfast sandwich was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and made just right. I also tried their pop tarts, and they were delicious—definitely worth every penny! The young lady who helped me was super nice and very helpful in guiding me to pick the perfect dessert. Great service and even better food. I’ll definitely be back!

This place has the most excellent bakery items that are so delicious. I got the blueberry filling cream cheese and it was amazing. Their breakfast egg sandwiches are incredible and so delicious They heat them up for you in the oven. I also got the artisan blend flower because I make artisan bread

Blown away. The pastries were perfect. It really took me back to country France. Just the right amount of rusticity. Breads were phenomenal and the staff were kind and welcoming. Please do a pop up in Seattle!

Got breakfast here, ordered one savory (jalapeno cheese twist $5) and one sweet (chai spiced cruffin, $5), a cup of coffee and one loaf of bread. Everything was very yummy and the employee was so nice! I thought the prices were reasonable. They did only have coffee and no tea! Sunday had free parking and no line!

To start with, theres two entrances which made it nice if you're checking out the whole area. The bread here is amaz8ng and the smell from the moment you open the door is delicious 😋. Staff were extended nice and everything was very fresh!

Everything here tastes magical—from the fresh sandwiches to the buttery pastries, every bite is a delight. Even their cold brew is next-level. This place is absolutely the bakery of my dreams!

This bakery is one of my favorite things about Covington. The bread is as good as it gets (reminds me of the bakeries I used to frequent when I lived in Germany). The staff is genuinely pleasant and helpful. I especially appreciate that they are willing to bring my order out to the sidewalk whenever I´m walking by and have a dog with me. Do yourself a favor, and give this little shop a try. Be warned, though, their bread is amazing and you may not be willing to settle for less once you've had it...

Chose North South Baking for a long overdue coffee with a good friend and was very happy that I did. Very friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The pastries and coffee were excellent! We’ll definitely be back.

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.

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.

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..

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!
