18 Best Bakeries in Akron

“Your Cheesecake Brownies are TO DIE FOR! I go out of my way to go to Northside Marketplace just for your Cheesecake Brownies! I never buy less than 3 when I’m there! Keep up the great work!! 🥰“

“We went with stacked cakes for our wedding last week and the cakes and other desserts turned out amazing. We had so many people reaching out to us to see where we got them from! They made ordering easy, let us customize our order, and matched our cookies to our wedding colors. Will be going through them again!“

“Ordered a whole sheet red velvet cake for nephew's graduation from St. V's.. Our family and guests LOVED the cake, it was delicious! I heard several say it was the tastiest sheet cake they had ever had. Icing was yummy. The folks who took the order (I called in from out of state) were lovely to work with. Highly recommended.

“I have had the soups, sandwiches, bread, and bakery delites but the sausage gravy and biscuit is my favorite.“

“They have the best pastries. The staff is always friendly. Love this little bake shoppe.“

“I *LOVE* Massoli's!!! Not just their awesome bread and buns, but their always courteous and kind employees and the family as well. When we have a special event at St. Bernard, we always turn to Massoli's and we are never disappointed. They care about the quality of their product and they care about their customers. I can only think the negative comments are coming from entitled individuals, since I have never been treated with less than respect and polite and prompt service.“

“Stopped in around 9:30 pm on a Friday for some donuts. The gentleman working the counter apologized for not having fresh filled donuts and cream sticks available however fresh cake donuts were up for grabs and some donuts that were left over from earlier in the day. I went with an assorted dozen- vanilla and chocolate coconut frosted cake donuts, a couple glazed, some powder sugar donuts both regular and cinnamon sugar, a devils food, lemon sour cream, regular sour cream, blueberry, and a chocolate frosted. I wish I could say there was a favorite but there wasn’t. All the donuts were so fresh and had a little crisp to them! Even the next day the donuts were fresh- even after cutting into most of them to try pieces none of the donuts went stale or hardened over night. The frosting was still soft as well. Great little donut shop, don’t let their hours get you they open back up in the evenings if you miss them in the mornings. Will be going back“

“I recently purchased your special for the month cake- Death by Chocolate - it was wonderful - looking forward to the July special - have you picked it out yet?“

“I have ordered cakes from West Side Bakery multiple times. I have requested elegant, kid/fun, and unique/challenging…. When other bakers were hesitant to meet my expectations, West Side Bakery eagerly accepted. Each time, the look and the TASTE exceeded my VERY HIGH, TYPE A expectations!!!! The latest was my request for Rose’s door… you know, the broken piece from the movie Titanic. My son is OBSESSED with that ship and the wreckage and requested a Titanic themed 7th birthday party. I asked for detail and DISTRESSED. 🔨 WSB NAILED IT!!! Everyone raved over how good it tasted, too! He wanted a white cake with strawberry filling. It was so light and moist and decadent. I am now looking for opportunities to order again from West Side! THANK YOU TO THE WSB TEAM!!! You bring JOY to so many!“

“Excellent pies we just tasted them at work and they are the BEST Blackberry so good 😊“

“I cannot recommend Porchlight enough! I have become a frequent flyer— no seriously— twice a dad visits. I love the convenience of their online ordering in the morning and their great cafe space for lunch. There is no wrong answer when it comes to their variety of flavors for your lattes. Truly a skillfully crafted coffee menu along with flavor-packed food options. My absolute favorite menu item is their harvest Cobb salad. I CAN’T GET ENOUGH! Dried cranberries, grilled chicken, feta (I think), walnuts, topped with the to-die-for maple vinaigrette on a bed of lettuce. Seriously, there is NO reason NOT to go to Porchlight. Cheers!“

“The coffee is delicious. service is lovely and food is amazing“

“Norma is an excellent cook. Her fresh made pita bread is the best!“

“I always give a place 5 stars if the person behind the counter is nice and goes above and beyond what’s expected. Michael is incredible. She made me a custom coffee that I have to say was way beyond delicious. She has what is missing in many of today’s service oriented businesses. She has kindness. Believe it or not, you don’t find that quality too often. As always the gelato was delicious but the service is what keeps me coming back.“

“Outstanding customer service! What a pleasure to work with people who appreciate their customers! Frank is my Candy Hero! Many thanks! 😊❤️“
