“Very quick unloading , but tough place for maneuver
Little bit hard to get .
They got 2 loading dock behind building. If you coming from West , take right on Simpson Ave, just behind food store , than take right shoulder for left turn to ( ull see sign on pole ) .if u got couple pallets they can bring pallet jack outside and u r not gonna need suffer while trying get into loading dock ).
They also got own trucks and small parking lot 300 feet ahead wich u can use for u turn“

“I ordered a Caramel Pound Cake for my Hubby’s birthday. We celebrated at Longhorn and everyone in the restaurant wanted a slice of that cake! It was moist, buttery, and delicious! We also had chocolate strawberries, and snickers strawberries. The strawberries were sweet, and we really enjoyed them. Our guest was amazed at the taste of all the desserts. I encourage anyone who needs a delicious dessert to order from Shanassweettreats. You will be happy you did! My Dad is 91 years old, he wants a Blackberry Cobbler. That’s my next order!!“

“Completely gluten free and delicious. Highly recommend! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I couldn't decide because there were so many options, I purchased a variety of items and all are outstanding.“

“I've had the brownie and the confetti cookie, and they were both moist and very delicious, 🥰“

“DELICIOUS! You can tell the quality of their ingredients from the deep and just immaculate flavors of the pastries. The fig pastry is incredible, and for how amazing these pastries were, they weren't horribly expensive. Workers were very sweet! Worth going into the city for, new favorite place!“

“these cookies are delicious“

“Super yummy savory and sweet treats alongside custom coffee and small batch breads.“

“I will never stop telling people that this place has the best donuts you'll ever eat in your entire life. I'm so dead serious. Their brioche donuts have the texture of little heavenly pillows and the flavors are out of this world.“

“Best Bread baked with natural ingredients. You won’t find better within 300 miles. Enjoy“

“Today was our first visit to Little Dutch Bakery. The donuts and tea cookies are amazing!“

“Delicioso pan. Se los recomiendo muchísimo“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oakley Crumbl is hands down one of my favorite stops! Their Dr. Pepper dirty soda (with cherry, vanilla, and heavy cream) is absolute perfection—it’s my go-to every time. And the cookies? Amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. We’ve honestly never tried a flavor we didn’t love. Every week feels like a new treat and they never disappoint. So glad to have this spot close by!“

“We drive almost 3 hours to visit. Bluebird Bakery is one of the main reasons. The pies are to die for. I love the apple and my gf loves the coconut cream. It’s also a great lunch spot. Always a pleasure!!“

“Hands down the best cookies and sweet potato pie in the area. The cookies are huge and flavorful (unlike another well known bakery) and the sweet potato pie is out of this world. Highly recommend!!“

“I shop at Davis Cookie Collection every week and it just keeps getting better. The flavors are out of this world! I seriously haven’t had a single one I didn’t like. Even the flavors I thought I wouldn’t enjoy, she somehow made me fall in love with. That’s how good these cookies are.

On top of that, the customer service is exceptional. The owner is warm, welcoming, and truly passionate about what she does. You can feel the love and care in every cookie and every interaction.

This place is a gem. If you're a cookie lover or even if you're not, you need to try it. You’ll be hooked!“

“Tara and Kevin do such a phenomenal job creating not only the best tasting cake around, but also such beautiful decor that you don’t even want to cut into it haha. I will never go anywhere else for cake. 🎂“

“Best Chocolate Cake ever!!!!“

“Best bakery in the tri-state! Great variety of pastries and a quaint spot. What I love most about this place is the ever changing pastries. They have the basics (croissant, pain au chocolat… etc) but they have a lot of other things. My favourite is the s’mores croissant and the focaccia of the day, no matter what is it, it’s always good!“

“I ordered two pies for my family thanksgiving, a pumpkin pie and a cranberry apple pie. To say they were delicious and amazing doesn’t do either pie the justice they deserve. The pumpkin pie was so delicate and light (THESE ARE GOOD THINGS). Sometimes a pumpkin pie can be so heavy and too rich but this was effortless joy, airy and the flavor beat anything I’ve ever even attempted to make. The cranberry apple pie was latticed with sugary perfection. The tart of the cranberry melded with the apple in a delectable ballet of OMG YES. Thank you so much for these pies! I can’t wait to order from you again!“

“Servatii has the most delicious food. I’ve had almost everything that Servatii in Blue Ash has, and I’ve never been disappointed. I keep coming back to this location because of the food and great customer service.“

“My 2024 is off to a good start because I was blessed with a Chicos cheesecake sweet potato flavor! I tasted the love in every bite! Thank you, Jas for the personal delivery! See you again soon!“

“Great location, staff and amazing salted rye and scones! Just off hyde park square.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ North South Baking has the BEST Rhubarb Jam Filled Cruffins in all of Northern Kentucky — hands down! If you haven’t tried them yet, do yourself a favor and go ASAP. The flavor is unreal — perfectly balanced, flaky, and filled with that tangy-sweet jam that hits just right. Beyond the incredible pastries, the customer service is absolutely stellar. The staff makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. They’re kind, welcoming, and passionate about what they do — and that energy is contagious. This place has created lifelong memories for me, not just because of the food, but because of the people. North South Baking is a true gem. 💛🍓🥐“

“Did the Macaron class at the Short North location today and it was fantastic!!“

“Walking into Allez on a rainy Cincinnati morning felt like stepping straight into a warm hug. Before I even reached the counter, the smell of fresh bread wrapped around me like comfort and memory all at once — that deep, soulful aroma of butter, herbs, crust, and care.

This was my first visit, as I’m traveling from New York, and the vibe hit me immediately:
soft light, rainy windows, friendly energy, and a community heartbeat you can feel in your chest.
The woman behind the counter was warm, patient, and had that genuine kindness that makes you feel like a regular even when you’re not.

The bread?
Listen… I don’t even have the vocabulary ready for what they’re doing in that kitchen.

The loaf I bought was the perfect marriage of crackly crust + soft, tender center, with this whisper of buttery, herby goodness that tastes like somebody’s grandmother and a Michelin-star chef teamed up and said: “Let’s bless this man today.”

Then came the pastries — and that’s where I lost all composure.

Every pastry had its own personality.
Not too sweet.
Not heavy.
But the kind of flavor that hits, lingers, and then softly fades, leaving you right on the edge of wanting another bite… but totally satisfied too.

My favorite?
The apple cider pastry.
Warm spice, gentle sweetness, flaky edges — it met my tongue like it had always been meant to be there.

Between the cozy atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff, the rain tapping on the windows, and the kind of food that reminds you life is still good…
**Allez is absolutely a must-visit.“

“Love! My partner and I walked in and were warmly welcomed by friendly staff. (Seriously the most friendly and warm greeting I've had anywhere in a long time.) Between the two of us, we had a blueberry muffin, cinnamon bun, éclair, cream puff, spinach parmesan pastry and a pastry similar to a margherita. I also had a loose leaf chai which is available unsweetened.

I enjoyed all my pastries. The staff made sure I had a safe place to plug in my laptop and really went beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

I have to say the star of the show were the eclair and the creme puff. I've always loved these desserts in general because cream is divine to me. I usually kind of felt like choux is just meh. BUT the choux here is out of this world. I have never had anything like it, the texture is not chewy and bland as I'm used to. Here, it is as it should be, airy with a crisp outside.

I think I've found my favorite dessert in the entire city!“

“The cupcakes are delicious! I purchased 4 different flavors of cupcakes and they were all so moist and fresh tasting. I wish I had bought more on my overnight visit to Cincy“

“Best key lime gooey butter cake ever. Thank a bunch.“

“Attended a luncheon where Teri made 2 cakes. Heath Bar and Tiramisu/Black Raspberry Chip. Both outstanding!!!“

“Did the Macaron class at the Short North location today and it was fantastic!!“

“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!“

“Boba tea in various flavors for $5 - taro, lavender.... Cheaper than advertised! We also got some nice little cookies and sweet or savory buns. The cakes looked wonderful and the bakery smelled delicious! They had tiramisu and several other cake options.“

“The cake and cupcakes were gorgeous and tasted delicious“

“Ever since I was little we loved to stop here and get an order of zwieback to have at home. We stopped in and ordered some a few days ago and it’s still so good all these years later! We also got some smiley face cookies that my nieces loved. We love the Cookie Jar!“

“I was so happy with my wedding cake. I gave them a pic I found online and it was exact. It wasn’t an easy one either. Great job“

“Loved the brownies!! We had peanut butter, double chocolate, and biscoff. They were delicious! 😋“

“I recently had an issue with the quality of a product i was ordering and contacted Nicky on their corporate line through email and she immediately contacted me and was extremely understanding and helpful in getting this issue resolved. I also recieved a follow up call by Tina the next day and, again, was very grateful for the way they handled my situation.
Love Busken Bakery and will continue to buy my pastries here!“

“Everything! My personal all time favorite, their Triple Mousse Cake; dense thin choc cake bottom with inches of chocolate mousse; dark, light and white chocolate. To die for! I order it at Grove Park Grill. You do not share this dessert, you have it all to yourself😂💕“

“Visited for the first time on the day before Mothers Day. Location is conveniently located near the market. They had seating outside and plenty inside. I noticed immediately upon entering how well maintained, clean and adorable this little bakery was. The chocolate croissant was perfection and both staff members went above and beyond.“

“We celebrated my granddaughters 6th birthday there. They were so kind with her. I fell in love with the bakery, so much in fact, I dropped off a cupcake diamond art picture in hopes they could find a spot to hang it there. Love the atmosphere and the food!“

“My grilfriend and I went to the Factory 52 location Sunday afternoon. All 3 of the cupcakes were sooo good. We got red velvet, birthday cake and chocolate chip cookie dough. I am completely shocked that anyone would give this place less than 5 stars. Can’t wait to go back and try the other flavors!!“

“This was my first time here, and it didn't disappoint. I was told about Buskins, and I was hoping it was all it was hyped up to be. First, we were greeted immediately by the staff! I ended up getting a dozen doughnuts, loaf of onion rye, and a double butter cake. I was in heaven, at least until I hit the scale!“

“Regina is the BEST. From the cream horns to donuts to buns and danishes...I cannot praise them enough. The employees are always friendly and helpful. It's a gem. In a world of corporate saturation and putting mom and pops out of business, this is a true treasure and I hope survives.“

“I ordered two cakes this year and both were delicious and 5 star decorated .“

“Let me first start with the owner. She was gracious and pleasant. Then what ever else that was great inside of her transferd over to the peach cobbler cheesecake I purchased. From presentation to taste was flawless. It will bless you if you let it.“

“The young lady working the stall was so sweet! I told her I was visiting from out of town and never tried these cookies. She was so patient in telling me about the cookies and even gave some wonderful recommendations. She really made my day. The cookies were delicious. Wish I had yall in Texas.“

“Super rápido descargan, si llegan en la noche anterior se pueden estacionar en la puerta de descarga, q dan hacía la calle y es donde les van a descargar, ellos llegan 6:30 y no importa el appointment les van a descargar según cómo llegan, muy buen lugar para delivery’s“

“THE BEST, WE BUY EVERYTIME WE ARE AT WESTSIDE MARKET!! THAN YOU“
