10 Best Bakeries in Cleveland Heights

“The cinnamon raisin loaf I've been dreaming about my entire life. Fresh baked, it's beyond comprehension. The French loaf is equally delicious. A culinary treasure in our backyard.“

“We visited today and had a fabulous experience. The staff was helpful and friendly. The cafe itself was well appointed (actual silverware, not plastic), water carafes available along with lemon slices for no extra charge, clean, bright - even the soap in the bathroom smelled wonderful! But the almond croissants were amazing. Not to sound pretentious, but we've eaten almond croissants in Paris and they didn't even come close to the greatness of what we ate at Sophie's. The latte I had and the espresso my husband had was also delicious. We were in the area, traveling across the great divide from the west side of the county, and are so glad we stopped in. It would be a challenge to the waist line if we lived closer but we will certainly add regular visits to Sophie's even if it's just for coffee and an almond croissant. Also, the painting of Sophie at the front door is wonderful. Our own Sophie-dog crossed over the rainbow bridge last year so the painting was extra special to us. Run, do not walk, to this wonderful cafe.“

“Thank you for supporting the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and CHANGING MY LIFE with your sweet potato cheesecake!“

“I had me a Carmel Ribbon Frappe. Really good. I can't make it home with the cookies I eat all of them.“

“Absolutely beautiful and delicious cakes! Shae made a beautiful cake for my son’s first communion. She is very professional and prompt. She delivered the cake on time and made sure to give us instructions and a box to transport once the event was over. The cake was a great hit and made our special day complete. This was my first time ordering and tasting her cakes and I’m so happy I chose her to make our cake. I will definitely be ordering more cakes from her.“

“Stopped into Unger's for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It looks like they’re doing some renovations, so parts of it have that old-school charm while other areas are getting a bit of a refresh. Other spots look like they need scrubbing. The donuts were excellent—fresh, flavorful. Self-serve. You can tell this place has been around a while. Some unique candy options I have not seen before. A payphone too!? No longer in service, I checked.“

“Totally agreed with Candise Bivens‘s comment from below. The ladies at Payne avenue are rude and not friendly at all. I like the service at Cleveland heights location wayyyy better.“

“Cute cafe in a quaint Cleveland neighborhood. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious.“

“My fiancée and I love the food here. The staff has always been amazing however on 8/31/2025 one employee Heather was outwardly rude to customers. She rolled her eyes at customers walking in and gave attitude to us when we ordered an item that was low quality available and they didn’t have enough to fill the order. This experience was extremely out of the ordinary for our us and if it had been our first time in might have dictated if we would ever return.“
