36 Best Bakeries in Cleveland

“Stopped in after calling to pick up some party rye breads that I needed for an appetizer. None of the major stores carry them anymore! Cheryl took my call and so kindly assured me they had them. This store has everything! I should have just went there first! Thanks Cheryl and Chuppas!“

“Amazing walnut raisin levain. Delicious taste and plenty of walnuts. Street parking. The staff was friendly but didn't ask if I wanted my head sliced, I attribute this to them being busy though - there was a line out the door at 9am on a Thursday so get there early! Small seating area and coffee with oat milk offered.“

“This place continues to stand out in a city with a lot of great bakeries. Always the same two folks in there and they are on it. Sparkling clean, super friendly, with really interesting options in addition to bakery classics. The pepperoni rolls, whose name does not do it justice, are easily one of the best savory pastries I've ever had. I think if I was going to the firing squad my last meal would be one of their cardamom knots. Also worth noting they have some cool high end grocery (like Mama Lils peppers!)“

“Wonderful atmosphere, and my latte was DELICIOUS!!!!✨?☕ I'm a bit of a coffee snob because I've worked as a barista at a couple local coffee shops in Cleveland that roast their own beans. The latte I got was INCREDIBLE!✨??☕ I got the homemade Cinnamon-honey flavored latte. I also ordered a quiche ?, and I was surprised how big it was. Good amount of quiche for the price $7.“

“Atlanta Plumbers has treated me well for over a decade. I use them in all my homes and will continue. Working with them is always fun. I have panicked and called them many times. Every time the broken item was replaced or repaired. They replaced my water heater, fixtures, and bathrooms. Fully trust this company. The best plumber in town, Alijah, works there. Alijah is so knowledgeable that competing plumbers consult him. You won't regret choosing Atlanta Plumbers.“

“Grabbed a cake last minute for a birthday and they were so kind. The cake, Lemon Raspberry, was delicious!!! Everyone was asking me where I got it. Tasted homemade and the lemon curd was perfect. Also grabbed some of their cute birthday cupcakes that have mini candy bars on top, equally delicious!“

“I have been looking for a dobos torte bakery since the bakery I used to get it from closed. I have tried a couple of other bakeries and did not care for their version. However, I want to compliment Farkas Pastry Shop for their Dobos Torte. I ordered it last week and he said it would be ready Wednesday (today) even though they wouldn’t be open to the public , he would let me come anytime between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm. to pick it up. After picking it up, it looked great and then after lunch, I had a piece of it and it was delicious. I will definitely order it again. As a matter of fact, I am going to visit my sister in Arizona so I plan on ordering 3 more. One for us to keep in freezer at home and two (one for her and one for her son)who loves dobos torte as well. I definitely want to compliment the guys at Farkas for being so accommodating and for making a great torte. Looking forward to trying some of their other bakery on my next visit when they are open and have other items in their display. Thank you. So glad I found you.“

“The vibes are always great at Gypsy. Their "around the world" coffee passport drinks are a cool thing to work your way through if you stop in reguarly. Great, quick serivce, and a cool place to hang out if you are the type to get things done in coffee shops.“

“From Orlando & visiting family...a friend treated us to Messina pizza. All I can say is that they make a yummy pie. One of the best, I've had in the Cleveland area. Definitely recommend their pizza because of quality ingredients they use from having eaten one.“

“Wen’t to Tost on Madison first and they were packed. I asked the lady which counter to order at because people were literally standing all around and I wasn’t sure. She snapped at me that I need to wait. So we left because what in the world?We came to K&K market. They immediately said “Hi! Please take a number today.” Then boom boom boom every employee was trying to help and it was so nice. I come here a lot, but today was just super sweet. It made my day. Thanks k&k!Oh and ended up getting stuff for dinner too. I can not say enough good things about this market.“

“Delicious, pre-packaged homemade ice cream and other treats (Galaxy Bar, OMG), and there are even some canisters of fun/retro candy for 10 cents each! Fun decorations, very fair prices (we loved the $1 ice cream sample cups) and fast, friendly service!“

“Best shaved ice I've ever had in my life. The buns are all soft and fluffy and comforting. I had the egg and turkey buns, the green onion bun and the mango tart, while taking a few bites of my friend's taiwanese shaved ice. I've been back a good probably 8 or so times since I began writing this review a couple months ago, and I can't stay away. Every time I go I grab a handful of warm, chewy buns and the taiwanese shaved ice with mango, strawberry, and mango jelly. The service is always quick, even when there is the occasional line to the door, and the buns are self service so you can just grab as many as you'd like and check out! I can not possibly recommend the shaved ice enough, in my opinion it easily beats out ice cream as the most refreshing summer snack.“

“I last came to Larder years ago back in 2018 or so and getting the Tuesday lunch special - $5 Chicken Sandwiches. I remember it being the best fried chicken sandwich I had ever had in my life - huge juicy thigh meat covered in a crunchy doubled fried exterior. Since then, Larder has been winning awards left and right. Since we were visiting Cleveland, I was so excited to visit Larder again and get their delicious sandwich. Unfortunately we came on a bad day - the previous night, a severe thunderstorm had knocked out the fryer and vents and Larder had to remove all of their fried items from the menu. They also were having oven troubles, so they ended up opening 30 minutes late. We got there over 30 minutes before they opened and a line of people started forming already. Pastrami Reuben ($18) - This is not your typical pastrami; this is thick, 1 cm cut savory salty pastrami, cut kind of like corned beef. The bark is still attached which is soft in some portions but crisp in others. ??? skome flavor??The meat is super tender and easy to eat. There's a thin layer of flavorful fat in some areas. There's cabbage slaw added on the bottom which adds a nice tang to balance out the fatty and meat of the pastrami. Thousand island spread on the top and bottom slices of bread adds additional moisture and sweetness. Everything is placed in the middle of two perfectly toasted slices of rye. Babka ($9) - Absolutely chock full of chocolate, the bread is pretty dense and rich. Pieces of crumbs easily flake off when you're eating this. There's some cinnamon mixed with the chocolate. If I'm ever back in town, I would get the chicken sandwich for the nostalgia.“

“We went for breakfast pastries and were almost overwhelmed with the delicious looking options. Luckily for us everything we got was exceptional, I don’t think you can make a wrong choice. After much deliberation the highlight for us was the sausage and cheese croissant! Definitely stop here, we will be back next time we’re in town!“

“CASH ONLY - totally worth it. Super sweet lady helped me. They had three flavors available. Reasonably priced. Lady suggested calling ahead around the holidays, otherwise walking in and ordering is usually safe. Pastry was awesome!!! food didn't last, we ate it all so fast! Going back for more soon!“

“You know I have to say thank you to the 2 young lady's as well as the guy in back that took the time make extra enpanadas and potato balls for me n family last nite. I never knew this place was there until I was literally sittin in front of it coming from hnrblock right next door and you know what I'm so glad I did because the food and service was amazing. Thank you guys so much. I will definitely be back soon. The kids fell inlove with the food also as well as my bf. Not only was the food great but service was awesome too. Very friendly young lady's there. Awesome job guys.“

“Best food and service around. If we are anywhere near the area- a stop by the bakery is a MUST. My son is autistic and picky and his favorite food is corbos donuts and pizza. The workers are patient, friendly, and never seem frustrated when my kids are carefully picking out their snacks. Love this place. 10 stars“

“I called early in the morning, last minute unfortunately because that’s just what happened. Slices was able to accommodate me, I ordered a praline cheesecake and it was SOOO GOOD! Thank you so much for taking my order last minute and making this amazing cake!“

“It's definitely a go-to place to relax, read a good book, grab coffee or tea, a good Danish, and more. Mike was so helpful with all of my questions. He had an available booster seat so my son and I could dine in comfortably. The tea and food were very delicious. I had a salmon, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese omelet. All the flavors married well. The potatoes had just the right crunch. The French toast was just as tasteful. Unskilled you very much.P.S. try the " Breakfast in Paris" tea! ?Kid-friendliness: Host had a sanitary booster for my son to use. Thank you ?“

“My first time visit was awesome coupled with exceptional friendly customer service! The ice cream in any flavor is smooth, creamy and simply delicious. FYI some items come with one topping only and there is a fee for each additional topping. Their sundae menu is off the chart amazing, so many variations I've never seen, and to choose from! I highly recommend inner city residents and visitors to the city of Cleveland to visit this place for an awesome experience to treat your "taste bud" craving for ice cream!?. You'll not be disappointed!?. This place is located a corner street making it easily visible from the main road. The building grounds are very well kept, neat and clean, FYI at this time there is no outside seating at this location(West Side). I'd like to Thank the staff for an awesome and amazing experience! To everyone else grab the family and "Go"!?.“

“The food was good, so why give five stars you ask? Because, look at my photo - the tacos cost $4 instead of the $3 I pay at most places, but you get an incredible amount of steak!!! They FILL your tacos with steak. And the other reason is the condiments bar - you put what you want! From onions, cilantro and tasty salsa to guacamole and cream, plus, all the pickled jalapeños you want!If you like steak tacos, then this is a "must try" destination.It's located inside of a Mexican grocery store.Staff is friendly, service is FAST!No complaints really.“

“Everything you could possibly need for baking supplies, decorating supplies and boxing for gifting or delivery. Candy making supplies and the best cookie cutter selection in town!!! Convenient and a unique treasure located at Wilson Mills & Richmond Rd. Supoort this wonderful small business store!!!“

“Their slices of cake with their AMAZING buttercream frosting don't even have words to describe it. It could very well be my favorite dessert ever. The staff is so friendly and it's just awesomely old school inside. There's even a tiny little deli and they will custom build your sandwich on the delicious house made bread. I'm devoted!“

“The service was great and the pierogis we're awesome. Took them home and we devoured them quickly. Loved the cheese and the potato. The owners were super generous, helpful and really nice people. I think it's a family run business. Definitely recommend getting their pierogies and while you're there, the dessert pastries we're really good as well. Freshly made there.“

“Cute little bakery/cafe!Coffee was great, took awhile to be served even though we were the only ones there when we arrived. Banana bread was great- but served cold, would have been better warmed.Barista was polite & friendly!Would return if it was closer, I do recommend trying!“

“Yummmmm. So fun little fact, this hidden gem is attached to a supermarket! The place was virtually empty when we came in for dinner and that's how we knew it was gonna be good! Food came out quick and hot. The burrito was so big, I only ate half and am pleased to save the rest for later.“

“I have been coming here for over 20 years, and it is always a great experience. They have a nice selection of Mederatrain and Middle Eastern grocery and delicous ready to eat food. Great place for a fast, delicious, and inexpensive lunch, or to pick up ingredients to cook fabulously at home.“

“Me and my fiancé had an amazing time here. Great customer service. The food was amazing! I got the chicken and waffles. The chicken was done perfectly it wasn’t overly cooked but it had that crunch. The waffles were fluffy and moist. My fiancé had the Mississippi Catfish and it just melts in your mouth. The bartender there made our drink perfectly. We felt welcomed it was a great vibe. We will return.“

“Took a while to post this picture because I was in a food coma. This food is delicious. I've been living in CLE for about 5 years now and I wanna kick myself for not coming here sooner. I'm Cuban American, but Cuban food here is lacking. I was happy to find some extremely good Puerto Rican food to fill the void in my Caribbean heart lol. Thr staff was so polite and welcoming. The portions for a $12 meal is enough for two meals. I'll be back to try everything- especially the Cubano. ??❤️??“

“Tons of delicious options including grab n go stuff they can warm up for you. Great service. They have indoor and outdoor seating, the patio is a relaxing vibe. I always buy way too much stuff when I come! I didn’t think prices were outrageous.“

“I had the lobster bisque for lunch today. It was truly incredible. While on the pricy side due to increased seafood prices nationwide, it was worth every penny. The best lobster bisque I’ve ever had, full of huge chunks of lobster. Go early when they have it - it sells out fast!“

“We've gone past this place too many times, and finally stopped in. Should have much sooner!! Got empanadas, beef was my favorite. So tasty. And also got the chicken which was good, and my husband liked his pepperoni ones. The worker was super nice. There is a parking lot beside the place. We'll be back.“

“Jazzy cakes is amazing the cake was awesomely perfect my daughter is very picky and she absolutely loved it and the owner was above professional meet me at the door and was extremely pleasant and kind . Will absolutely order from her in the future no doubt about it .“

“I have been going here for 45 years always been great for pizza bagels donuts and strudel. Never went to a bakery I liked more. I just wish they would spend a few hundred bucks to paint ,new floors,and clean it up. It looks the same as 45 years ago.Staff is always pleasant.“

“Stone Oven is a diamond in the ruff. Stone Oven has the BEST homemade Chicken Noodle soup I have ever tasted and the customer service is so accommodating and friendly. All of the staff are to be commended for you excellent work ethics and food presentation. I highly recommend Stone Oven if you want home cooked, flavorful and delicious food. I am a fan.“

“My favorite bakery in the whole world. I've been coming here for years and can't believe I haven't left a review till now. The freshest yumiest goodnes you will ever find. If they had Poppy seed danishes everyday then I would be there everyday! When my son comes to visit from out of town, he comes here everyday of his visit for their deli sandwiches just to have a taste of home.“
