“Came here with a friend who frequents this place and I'm pretty impressed. We lined up on Easter at opening and they already had a line out the door, even in the light drizzle. The line stayed that way over the next hour that we hung out there. They do sell out of items so it's best to get there as early as you can! I'm more of a sweet tooth when it comes to baked goods, but the everything bagel croissant is a must-have here. The staff heat it before serving, and it's truly the best of both worlds - the butteriness and flakiness of a croissant, with the garlic scallion seasme flavors of an everything bagel. The raspberry almond croissant is also delicious, a good balance of tart and nutty. The salty chocolate chip cookie was also good - large chocolate chunks throughout. The vegan matcha brownie was an adventurous pick; I'm usually iffy about vegan baked goods, and this one had a texture closer to a fudge than to a brownie. I liked the chocolate and mint combo but couldn't get a hint of matcha. Similarly, the raspberry matcha doodle had plenty of raspberry but 0 matcha. Overall, the limited edition matcha flavored items fell flat, but the goods off the regular menu were great and reasonably priced. The space itself is bright, large enough to seat a few small groups, and nice to hang out in. Staff are also helpful and friendly. Check this place out and stick to their bestsellers, and you'll be in carb heaven.“
“Shana’s Sweet Treats set up a little shop at Bethesda North and it was delicious. Her chocolate cake was very moist and excellent tasting. The chocolate chip cookie was so big and had a chocolate chip in every part of the cookie. The only thing missing was a big glass of milk.“
“Cincinnati hit the jackpot with Boosalis Baking! I used to jet off to Paris for work, trying every croissant spot there, thinking nothing could match up back home. But Boosalis proved me wrong in the best way!Their chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat) is the real deal. Seriously, it gives the famous spots in Paris a run for their money. And don't even get me started on their plain croissant—it's a close second to my favorite in Paris, Ble Sucre.Now, I can get my croissant fix without the long flight. Big thanks to the Boosalis team for bringing a slice of Paris to Cincinnati!“

“Great cinnamon rolls. You can chose your own amount of icing (I would recommend mini scoop). Even though I don’t like cinnamon, these rolls were delicious. However, prepare for a small sugar shock… couldn’t finish, but the first bites were great!“
“Miss my hometown downtown. Jennifer has Celiacs.. So happy to find this place which is totally gluten-free. The folks behind the counter are pleasant and knowledgeable. The establishment is clean, fresh, and inviting. Food is delicious! FULL flavor. Took a big box to take home“
“Today I had the pleasure of sampling three items. I had the Pound Cake, Best Brownie and Funfetti Mini Cake. The Pound Cake had a velvety strawberry icing which was perfectly balanced with, flavor and compliments the cake well! Now….that Pound Cake, was out of this world! As difficult as it is for me to admit, it is the best Pound Cake I’ve ever had, (Mama and Grandma I apologize). It’s so moist, buttery and flavorful.The Best Brownie is appropriately named. Typically I’m not a fan of brownies. But this one was not dry or too thick. It has a good texture and mouth feel. The flavor was spot on and the sprinkles are a nice touch for visual appeal.The Funfetti Mini Cake did not disappoint! The icing and sprinkles were nostalgic. Took me right back to childhood memories of a delicious birthday cake. The cake was moist and certainly homemade. No box mix can come close to the flavor and texture.For all pasty dessert lovers. I highly recommend going right to Maya’s Bakes and treat yourself to some excellent cakes, cookies and brownies.“
“Cafe Mochiko left us thoroughly impressed during our visit from out of town. We dined there twice over a weekend, once for dinner and once for morning pastries, and we were blown away both times. During dinner, we enjoyed a variety of appetizers, including the savory and fragrant Mochi Mochi Panic, Karaage, and Kabocha Raisu, all of which were hits. For the entree, we tried The Ohio from their rotating menu, which featured a rich pork and fish broth with tender sous vide pork and chewy noodles—an absolute delight.On our second visit, we stopped by for pastries on a Sunday. Despite about 15-minutes wait in line, the pastries were well worth it. We tried out a variety of their signature pastries, including the Ube Croissant and Genmaicha Melonpan, all of which were so well-made and delicious.Overall, Cafe Mochiko is an exceptional Asian-inspired bakery and Japanese restaurant. While they don't take reservations and may involve a wait, it's well worth the visit. We are so thrilled to have visited this gem in Cincinnati!“
“i never leave reviews on places, but i genuinely loved it so much that i had to. the environment was so calm and welcoming and very cozy. the employees were SO nice, and on top of that, i had easily the best matcha latte i’ve ever had. highly recommend this place for a chill hangout or to get some work done :)“
“Been coming for years! I was at the shop next door and a woman that had driven all the way from Indiana to get cupcakes for an event saw me and she asked me if I had ever tried one - I told her no and she went back in and got me a strawberry cupcake - I've been hooked ever since. The cupcakes are literally out of this world good. Today I came back and tried the baklava and cannolis- amazing! Best I've ever had! I want to try every item they have... I probably will“
“We used Sweets by LaDawn for our wedding in May 2023 and we were extremely happy with the cake. It looked beautiful and tasted great as well. We also have to give her props for making a fantastic gluten free cake for our gluten sensitive guests. She was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with. We have used her as well for our birthday cakes and we are always happy.“
“Both the original flavor and the chocolate croissant are delicious, with crispy skin. The small disadvantage is that the flour has no fragrance. The latte is delicious. If you pass by, I will want to buy it. There is a parking lot behind which is very “
“My wife and I have been stopping in nearly every weekend for the past few months and are never disappointed. We get a loaf of the marvelous sourdough bread and a handful of pastries. We haven't been let down yet, and we don't expect to be anytime soon. Everything is carefully crafted, beautifully presented, and unbelievably delicious. Pre-ordering online is fantastic, but you'll want to grab some extra goodies, so just join the line when you arrive. It moves fast and the reward of wonderful treats is worth it.“
“The cake they made was so freaking good…. Not only did it look super pretty, the cake actually tasted so good. It was super moist. And for the price I felt that cake was super big. I also got custom cookies as well and they was great… the bakery will be making all my cakes for all my event and I am recommending them to everyone I know …. “Oh you need a cake? , I know just where to go” lol“
“Spoon Fulla Sugar was recommended to us by our venue. We appreciated their enthusiasm in creating exactly what we wanted for a special birthday cake with a travel theme. The cake was amazing inside and out. Our guests didn’t even realize at first that it was a cake! We highly recommend these talented bakers for your special occasion cakes.“
“I just adore Glendale! And bluebird bakery is one of the reasons why. It is a great little café to have lunch or just to have some coffee and dessert. Although they do not offer any other coffee drinks other than drip coffee - it is really good coffee. I also like it that they have the option to purchase whole pies!Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free options“
“I LOVE this restaurant. I started going soon after they opened. Then I found ways to go as they switched from offering lunch to offering dinner. The food is exceptional: fresh, extremely high quality produce, the cuisine is exquisite, the service is fabulous. I brought my grown children this time, and they both loved it. They had not been. I highly recommend it! Wonderful from beginning to end.“
“We stopped in today for coffees and we tried the eclair (divine) and the puff pastry hot dog (delicious). We’re already talking about what we’ll try when we come back. The proprietor was so friendly to use and even brought out a chiffonade for us to try while we waited! Can’t recommend this place enough.Parking: Free parking on the side of the building“
“Hey all, if you're looking for great cookies to cure that sweet tooth, look no further. Davis Cookie Company has something good for the cookie lover. Shakes are delicious! I can't go too often, won't be able to fit my clothes. “
“I have seen so many posts about Allez Bakery on Instagram and heard fellow Elites talking about them for quite a while now. A few weeks ago, I was downtown for a meeting and when I found myself close to Allez Bakery, I had to stop. I read the reviews before I went in because I wanted to see what the top recs were. It was very clear that sourdough is the thing to NOT miss at Allez Bakery. The staff was SO friendly and helpful. They walked me through the different types of sourdough and eventually sold me a loaf of sourdough rye after I asked an employee which sourdough was the most sour. We then shared a bonding moment over our love for "flavors that punch us in the face." They sliced the bread for me and I ate a piece the moment I was back in my car. It was delicious-- some of the best bread I have ever had. I made turkey reubens with it that week and they were fantastic. The bakery itself is tiny, but so cute and warm and inviting. 100/10 will be back.“
“Yes, the line will be long but yes you should wait. It's difficult to choose a favorite. The Danish and the pretzels are marvelous. The scones were delicious. The fresh bread selection is top notch. In our families opinion this is the place at Findlay market to not miss!“
“As regular patrons of the Indian Mouund Cafe, just down the street, we regularly visit Panaderia El Trigal. Even though we almost always visit at the end of the day, the pastries are fresh and flavorful. My wife and I both love the empanadas de pina, the tres leches cake, and the creme horns. If we're lucky, they have some tamal de cerdo (pork tomales) left and we've got a tasty lunch or dinner ahead later in the week. If you're in Norwood, stop by. It's worth it.“
“Doctor's order, cut back on the sweets. Now and again I have to stray away from my diet and have something from "Sugar!" Good cookies,brownies,some cake and more. May need to get a cookie cake for my birthday this year. Better work out. Check out one of, if not the best cookie place in cincy.“
“Love crumbl !! The interior of the store is so cute and inviting, and their staff is always so welcoming and friendly! Cookies are fresh and tasty, never had a bad experience!Parking: The stores are always located in areas with convenient parking!“
“A quaint bakery that puts out amazing confections! The doughnuts will make you slap the chain doughnut, guys! The pastries are done FRESH, and it shows! Everything they have in the store is homemade and done right! The last time I went there I literally said I can't decide and ordered one of every doughnut and Danish.“
“Food: 4.5/5 They have macarons in every color of the rainbow. After trying many flavors, our favorites are the pistachio, birthday cake, and fruity cereal. The pistachio has a great pistachio flavor and is not overly sweet. The birthday cake is strawberry-forward and is excellent if you have a sweet craving. The fruity cereal tastes exactly like fruity pebbles. They have other flavors we enjoy as well, like salted caramel and Madagascar vanilla. They are delicious and so cute! Service: 3.5/5 Since they have the macarons prebaked, service is usually fast. They have other baked goods for sale that I haven't tried. They have cute long boxes they put them in. Atmosphere: 4/5 The storefront is small, with limited seating. The space is mainly filled with baking equipment. It's very clean and has a minimalist aesthetic with pops of color.“
“Reached out about 18 hours in advance to make a last minute Afternoon tea reservation for the next day. They went out of their way to accommodate my last minute party of 5. Incredibly kind owner and staff.Small but efficient team. I'm not an afternoon tea guy, but the ladies I brought were, and they absolutely loved it. They loved that it was a special experience, but was very approachable and inclusive for them. Friendly to kids as well. Can't thank them enough. Highly recommended.“
“The staff here are the best! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.....great team of young people. The ice cream quality is superb and there is a bonus play room for the little ones. I've yet to have a pastry from here but hear they are delicious. My family had a great experience here.“
“Nothing beats Graeter's Ice Cream! We stopped here before a show at Ludlow Garage. It as BUSY! I guess that's no surprise. The line move fast and before I knew it we were enjoying a special seasonal Ice Cream only available dipped into a cup or cone. OMG, so good! This is not our go-to Graeter's, but I'm glad there is one very near Ludlow Garage for a sweet treat before a concert.“
“The staff behind the counter was friendly and happy. The ice cream was as delicious as always - one scoop of butter pecan and one of maple brown butter pecan - don't judge, it's the holidays - was the perfect way to finish off a busy holiday weekend.“
“The cheesecake was amazing! A little tart At First Bite but that's just because I ordered a raspberry cheesecake. Every bite was absolutely amazing. Perfect consistency to a cheesecake. The only thing that was missing was my white chocolate shaving on the top. But that's not even a big deal. I would definitely be interested in trying more of these cheesecakes.“
“I recently ordered seashell cookies from Cookies & Cupcakes by Design for my bridesmaid proposal, and they were adorable! The cookies featured delicate seashell shapes with a personalized "Will you be my bridesmaid?" message. They were not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious.These seashell cookies were the perfect addition to my bridesmaid proposal box. They completed the look and tied everything together seamlessly. The attention to detail showcased the thoughtfulness of the design, making it clear that my wedding would be a destination event.Cookies & Cupcakes by Design provided exceptional customer service throughout the ordering process, ensuring the cookies would be on time and in perfect condition. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for unique and delightful treats for special occasions.Thank you, Cookies & Cupcakes by Design, for adding that sweet touch to my bridesmaid proposal and hinting at the destination wedding. I am truly grateful for your outstanding work!“
“Tres Belle made us a beautiful cake for our wedding that was equally as delicious as it was pretty! We also did an assorted dessert bar from Tres Belle which was a huge hit with out guests. You cannot go wrong with any of their treats. They were easy to work with and did not disappoint! Thank you Tres Belle!“
“Love this place. Our code wasn't working and the worker (I think the owner) was able to figure it out and got our order in. We have had the almond croissant, chocolate chip cookies, whole wheat sourdough, original sourdough, and orange cranberry bread.All have been excellent and we are so glad to have a local bakery. Thank you!!“
“Gotta love that this Servatti Pastry Shop is close to home. It took me a while to stop in, but once I did, I was very glad. I tried a few pastries, which were definitely tasty. The thing that keeps me coming back, however, is the pretzels and the beer and other cheese dips. The pretzels are great for a get together. Get a dozen and have them sliced. Perfect! If you're buying just for the family, or in our case, just for two, I recommend getting six pretzels. They are SO perfect when they are fresh, but they do not stay fresh long so plan accordingly. Oddly enough there are some amazing pastry shops in the West side so Servatti's isn't my go to for pastries, but their pretzels can't be beat. I'm craving them as a write!“
“Always love coming in here for a Brown Sugar Boba Tea! We've tried a lot of different bakery items here over the years, their bread rolls and cookies are always a good go, but their chocolate cake slices, any kind, yum!! This time we got a few Mooncakes! They are delicious!!“
“We were AMAZED at how elegant and unique our wedding cake turned out. Stephanie did not shy away from the challenge of incorporating four flavors into our wedding cake. Her design was absolutely stunning. We received SO MANY compliments on the taste as well. Thank you NHC Bakery! <3“
“What a gem!! Wonderful eclairs, croissants and danish that transported me back to Europe. Can't wait to return and try some of the cream puffs. Special shout out for the pistachio croissants. Delicious, full of flavor and absolutely ginormous. Well worth the drive from Indiana to get the best pastries in the tri state area!!! Service is fantastic and the call ahead ordering is a big plus.“
“Delicious cupcakes!! We chose 4 and had the vanilla sugar cookie, strawberry, lemon, and banana pudding. Definitely sweet but not too much (I hate when cupcakes are super sugary and hurt your teeth, so these were perfect), they were moist and delicious, even the next day! The girls working there were extremely helpful and polite. Worth a stop if you're looking for a small sweet treat!“
“I ordered her cupcakes when she had one of her cupcake sales. I normally miss this post but this time i didn’t and was very excited because i have heard great things about her cakes and desserts. I was extremely satisfied with every cupcake they all taste amazing! If i had to pick a favorite it would be the banana pudding one. Besides her delicious cupcakes, she was very professional and responded in a timely manner. Great customer goes along way and she has that for sure! She had gained a returning client! Highly recommended!“
“Delicious bakery in downtown Cincinnati not far from the convention center. Plenty of options from donuts, croissants, danishes, cakes, hot dog buns, curry croquettes, and more. There were so many options that I had a hard time figuring out what to pick the first time that I went back again while I was in town. There was also plenty of coffee options too. Can't wait to go back!“
“No, because: these are THE BEST cinnamon buns. Small little humble stand in Findlay market, with servers that have big hearts and always a smile on their face. They asked how much frosting i wanted and i asked for a GENEROUS amount. I had to eat it the next day reheated and i can confidently say it was better than cinnabon. Flavour was there, but it also wasnt as sweet as cinnabon. It was a perfect ratio. Now, imagine if i ate it fresh!“
“Excellent Cincinnati bakery. Huge selection of cookies, doughnuts, cakes and pies. Large selection of special occasion cakes and cookies. The lady that waited on me was involved with a task when I entered, yet she greeted me, offered assistance and rang my order. I think her name was Glenda and was a pleasant chapter in my life today.“
“We go to Jenny's to pick up cookies for family dinners, pot luck dinners and of course birthdays. There are so many flavors to choose from and the cookies are so large we cut them into quarters. This allows folks to sample all the different types. Each of our family members has a favorite so it provides a nice variety!! They are in a small storefront and try to keep the cookies stocked in the case. Ask if you don't see what you want as they might have them in the back. There are some seasonal cookies. The folks who work there are friendly and happy to help. Homemade happiness at Jenny's!“
“Came in 30min before close (I hate being that guy) but 3 ladies walked in so me and my friend went on in. Place was clean and people didn't seem to irritated about us coming in late. Me and my friend both got cones with 2 dips of ice cream. I don't think we was in there 5 minutes and out the door we went. Fast efficient service, and as usual ice cream was great!“
“Stepped out of the Cuban shop where I was picking up a Cuban sandwich to find a place that hit home. Chocolate peanut butter brownie cake. Holy $hit was it good Got a large glass of cold milk and went at it. Mmmmmmm Go there you'll be glad you did“
“While visiting Hyde Park, a suburb of Cincinnati in Ohio, we went to Awakenings Coffee and Wine. The coffee was delicious... So much so that I took a bag of espresso beans back home to San Diego. Did not try any of the wine. The café is located on a wonderful block in Hyde Park with available shopping, food, and beautiful neighborhoods to walk nearby. Service wasn't as friendly as you'd expect, they weren't rude by any means, just not the typical caffeinated baristas. Would definitely go back again.“
“The strawberry shortcake at Qlicious is a delightful indulgence that perfectly balances sweetness and freshness. Each bite showcases the harmonious marriage of juicy strawberries, fluffy sponge cake, and velvety whipped cream. The strawberries are impeccably ripe, offering a burst of vibrant flavor that complements the lightness of the cake. The portion size is generous, making it ideal for sharing or savoring as a decadent treat all to oneself. Overall, Qlicious's strawberry shortcake is a scrumptious dessert that promises to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth.“
“Original experience here was not so good, but I went back and tried it again. I got a crushed cherry sundae - pretty good and I will definitely be going back again to try some of the other stuff on the menu. The mix they use is rich and I am not sure you even need to put anything on it, it is that good!“
“Stopped in today at the Eastgate mall to get some shopping done and ordered a cinnamon roll on my way through. Talk about quality ?. Top notch customer service as well. They warmed my cinnamon roll and gave me some extra frosting on the side. I quickly shewed my husband and kids away so that I could fully enjoy it. I will be back.“
“Golden Hands Bakery is filled with masterpieces of deliciousness. Ron and I stopped in today for an Opening Day Donut for a home run review! My Apple fritter was crispy on the outside and moist and power packed with cinnamon and apples on the inside. Ron’s sticky bun was sticky and Carmel coated with pecans and cinnamon. Beyond amazing morning experience ?“
