“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“We came for the afternoon tea and was so nice! I didn’t realize it was a group experience with other tables also there for the tea but it was really a good time. I enjoyed that we were given a brief history of the house, the atmosphere was so good. I loved that there was also live music with someone playing a keyboard in the background, great touch! Highly recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. 💛🍓🥐“

“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.“

“I placed an order for my daughter's birthday cake and they did an fantastic job. We found a picture of a cake my daughter wanted for her birthday and they were able to make it at an affordable price under $40. I called other local bakeries and was quoted $95 and up and another place quoted me $125. Thank you all for making beautiful affordable cakes. The cake was a delicious strawberry flavor and we will be returning in the future for other birthday cakes.“

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

“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.“

“Received a bag of peanut butter dog cookies as a gift. My dog loves them!

I've since ordered a three pack. Shipping was fast and easy. Each bag of cookies is personally signed by the individual who baked/packed them.

Each purchase supports this charity which encourages collaboration and skill building among the staff.

I love the idea of how they bake these treats from spent grains from local craft breweries. A healthy snack for my pup and great gift idea for dog lovers.“

“5 stars all the way!
I ordered custom cookies for a graduation celebration, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations! Not only were they beautifully decorated and perfectly on theme, but they were also delicious-soft, fresh, and full of flavor. I'll definitely be coming back for future events! Highly recommend!“

“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😂💕“

“Very quick unloading , but tough place for maneuver

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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“
