I contacted Sions Bakery several months before my daughters' wedding, to order her wedding cake. I had a preliminary conversation with Mr. Sion, who gave me pricing and reassurances that he was capable of creating the wedding cake I described. He requested that I send in a photo(s) of what I had in mind, which I did. Since I was a new customer, I asked if he could provide me with a few sample pieces of cake (which I was prepared to pay for) to try out. We arranged the day and time at which my daughter (the bride) would pick up the samples. She showed up on time, and Mr. Sion was completely unprepared, yelled at her that he didn't know why she was there, and told her she was going to have to wait 30 minutes for her slices to be ready! This was an unacceptable way to treat any customer, let alone a bride-to-be. Then, when my daughter called him, after we had tasted the slices, to try to place her order, Mr. Sion rudely told her that she needed to phone him back in one month, after the High Holidays were over, because he couldn't deal with her then. Whenever she would call, anyone who answered the phone would have no knowledge of who she was, or what she wanted and she would need to start all over again explaining what she wanted to order! Finally the day came to pick up the wedding cake and it was all wrong. They did not follow the photo which my daughter had provided for the decoration, nor any of the instructions for the cake, which they had assured us beforehand they would take care of. They decided at the last minute to spray paint some flowers on the top of the cake, a garish blue, which looked like a 5 year old had done it. The whole cake was a disaster and my daughter and her soon-to-be husband, were embarrassed by it and therefore missed any photo opportunities with their wedding cake. Not only was the cake a huge disappointment, but the less than professional nor competent treatment we experienced led me to leave this review, in the hopes that it will save a future customer the aggravation we experienced.

I ordered a cake on a Tuesday to be picked up at 10 AM on a Friday and when I arrived at 1130 I had to wait for them to finish the cake and when it was finally showed to me it was wrong. I asked many times to speak to the owner who was the one who took my order and I was told he was too busy. The cake was for a special occasion for my daughter in law and her mother. I was so embarrassed to serve this cake that I also bought cupcakes ( which I was only given a 10% discount ) the owner should have taken the 5-10 minutes and speak to me in person. I will never order from them again.

I've ordered personalized cakes and cookies from here many times. They are very nice to work with and they do a great job. They have printed pictures onto cookies for me and I was very happy with the results. Orders are always ready on time and everything looks and tastes great.

We have been coming here for years. Exceptionally friendly owner and staff. Their baked goods are always fresh. This is our go-to bakery for birthday and other celebratory cakes. The jelly donuts for Chanukah are really good and have a nice jelly to dough ratio which is often unfounded these days. Best bakery in Baltimore in my opinion.
I worked here part time back in the early 2000s while attending college. Totally professional and hard working crew behind the scenes making it all happen. You will not be disappointed. I’m glad to see it is still open!

Fantastic independent bakery in the heart of Pikesville MD. Customer service is incomparable and the baked items are delicious and prepared/served/presented with care. I have attached a photo taken at Sion's this morning showing one of their amazing service professionals standing in between numerous neatly boxed, labeled, and organized Chanukah donut ("sufganios") orders waiting to be delivered to a local elementary school. They have been doing that all Chanukah, and rise to the occasion (no yeast pun intended) every week.
