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!

The West Bakery designed and executed the most beautiful dessert spread and cake for our wedding in Cleveland this August! The owner, Barb, listened to all of our preferences and ideas and created the dessert table and cake of our dreams! The table included everything from mini creme brûlées, tiramisus, buckeyes, chocolate covered strawberries, cookies, and more. They can really do anything and even included traditional desserts to represent our family’s heritage including baklava and kolachi. Everything was delicious and we received so many compliments! Our guests are still telling us how amazing the dessert table was and how delicious everything tasted! We could not have been happier with our experience and cannot recommend the West Side Bakery enough!

I purchased a heart shaped cake, and cupcakes for my daughter’s wedding celebration. The staff was very helpful with helping me decide which design to go with. It was beautiful and absolutely delicious! Everyone asked where I got it from, I was proud to say The Westside Bakery. Definitely my go to bakery.

Quaint little bakery and cafe. I enjoyed that the macaroons weren't sickeningly sweet. A touch of sweetness and all coconut! I'll for sure be back again!

We did a cake tasting with West Side Bakery for our wedding in July. I have a dairy allergy, and some guests had a nut allergy. Between the initial inquiry, scheduling the tasting and picking flavors, I reiterated the allergen information 3x.
When we arrived, the woman behind the counter brought our cakes over - and I confirmed with her one final time that everything was dairy and nut free - she stated they were.
During the tasting, we found nuts throughout some of the cakes.. we let it go because we are not personally allergic and reiterated to the manager that the final cake HAD to be nut free. Throughout the conversation, it came to light that the cake was in fact full of dairy.
I will give props to the manager that she was very apologetic and seemed sincere - but at that point I had already eaten the cake and there was nothing that could be done.
I do not typically leave bad reviews - but this was incredibly frustrating and for anyone who has allergies - be very careful.

My sister tried giving them another chance - she ordered my wedding shower cupcakes from West Side, for delivery. They never arrived. She did receive a prompt refund, but the experience was incredibly frustrating for us.

West Side Bakery did an incredible job with our custom cake order! They were friendly, professional, and communicative throughout the order process. We had some reference photos for the vision we wanted and they absolutely nailed it!

I bought a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for a coworkers birthday and we all loved it! It was by far the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted. It was so moist and the cake actually tasted like chocolate. The frosting was delicious, so light and creamy! I will definently be coming back again and again!
