50 Best Bakeries near Norwood

“What a gem of a donut shop! The shop is really cute, tucked into a quiet corner of Norwood. I was thrilled to choose 12 varieties today and my coworkers loved every one of them. I had the citrus marmalade, so tangy and unusual, and the marmalade is made in house! The chefs father was manning the counter and he was really kind and knowledgeable. They have monthly special flavors, which are very unusual and delicious. Highly recommend! I’m looking forward to becoming a regular customer!“

“Do you ever find yourself eating somewhere and thinking “wow this is the best XYZ i’ve ever had!!” yeah, that was me when trying Golden Hands. Aside from their top tier customer service, their desserts/donuts are next to the best things i’ve ever tried in MY LIFE!!! everything is incredibly fresh and has so much flavor. not all donuts are created equal! i highly recommend you try Golden Hands. the price point can’t be matched either. you will pay more at the “competitor” donut places, i guarantee it!!! you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“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.“

“The food was all delicious - including our schnitzel sandwich + side of kasespatzel, pretzel + beer cheese, and Hawaiian Flammkuchen. Our 6 month old sends compliments to the owner and chef for being so helpful for her to have some plain cooked carrots! Service was incredible and friendly and we definitely will need to return!“

“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!“

“I got the turltle cake bowl from a pop up at Bethesda Butler, delicious doesn’t begin to describe. The cake crumble mixed with caramel and nut l makes for a perfect bite each time. It came with a resealable lid perfect for to save some for later. I also got banana pudding bowl and cinnamon roll cake that I gave as gifts and they loved them as well. Shana is so pleasant and helpful. Will be ordering again.“

“I would never patronize an establishment co owned by Jaci Fantetti. Jaci totalled my cadillac down to my license plate three years ago on her third DUI and when given a sobriety test of which she could hardly stand up said, can't we wrap this up? you can see she's fine (me). she has an active warrant for being cited to court and not showing and was still actively bartending after that. no remorse and could have killed us but we weren't in the car that night (it was parked on the street) She also hit my car so hard going 55 in a 25 that she pushed my car into my daughter's SUV and almost totalled hers. she's had a string of evictions as well. on woodbine Ave in cheviot. look it up for yourself.“

“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“

“Always a tasty treat, I love these cookies, but hate the lack of customer service, I was waiting for quite a while and I had pre-ordered to avoid that ended up waiting almost 15 minutes to pick up my order.Parking: Watch out for traffic here it's busy.“

“Needless to say, these are a hit!! These are the PERFECT treats for business/customer purposes. The cookies look outstanding and they taste even better. The team at Little Flour is able to do any logo you wish on the cookies. They’re able to individually wrap them 2 different ways or keep them as is, laying on a tray. The staff is always friendly, the orders are always timely and our office uses them quite often for cookie orders as such…and we will continue to spread the word!“

“I'm from Lousiana on vaycay and OhMyGoodness the treats are Soooo delicious.... chocolate chip cookies are best ever....the banana pudding is Devine. I will definitely be ordering for shipping ..... LOVE THE SERVICE AS WELL. ❤️ ♥️“

“Firstly, the ube croissants are TO DIE FOR. Secondly, fantastic, friendly, informative staff who were also super excellent about helping me get a personal item back that I accidentally left in the cafe and didn't realize for weeks. I can't wait until our next trip to Cincinnati so we can try their ramen!“

“We had LaDawn from Sweets by Ladawn to do our wedding cake and cakes for our guests. It was so good we got enough cake for more than 150 people and had 100 people come to our wedding having no cake left over! Just a little cake from our own personal wedding cake - not for the guests. 10/10 recommend!!!! Be ready for another review by us for our baby shower in the future, cause Sweets by Ladawn will for sure be the one making our cakes/cupcakes and any sweets possible!!!“

“Oishii! Delicious! Came in for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed everything about this delightful gem. The onigiri and karaage lunch combo was perfect, light and healthy with a side salad. We also tried two cakes, a strawberry creme and matcha roll. Again, light and subtle flavors always leave you with room for one more bite.“

“A haven for pastry enthusiasts! Unbelievable delicious treats that are worth the wait (the line moves pretty fast). From flaky croissants to decadent desserts, each creation is a masterpiece of flavor and craftsmanship. Must visit and highly recommend!“

“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 :)“

“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 friend and I happened upon this gem while on a girls day in Latonia. From the minute we walked in, we were welcomed with open arms. The baristas answered our questions and whipped up the most delicious drinks. The owner introduced herself and showed us around, quickly becoming a friend. We sat for a while on the amazing pink velvet couch and fell in love with this quaint little shop. Before we left, the owner offered to loan out her personal shopping cart (which she decorated for us). It was a memorable day and we will definitely be back!“

“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“

“Awesome place one of the best Italian dining experiences in Cincinnati. If you're seeing something in the bakery on your way in to dine, get it then. Good chance it'll be gone when you come out. It's that goodParking: Popular place during peak dinner hours. Street parking near by“

“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. “

“Excellent food and offerings - a warm place with very nice people. I'm a frequent visitor and expect to continue this habit. You can't beat the baked goods and the terrific lunch options. I encourage you to stop by and experience a very fine spot.“

“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.“

“Love trying new local businesses and I’ve driven past this place for almost a month and saw the freshly baked goodies… I finally had time to stop and so glad I did! I wasn’t sure what all I got but picked 5 different treats and decided to share them!!! My favorite was the shells with raspberry filling! We 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!“

“This week feels like a holiday. Galaxy brownie cookie is baaaaack! Yes, I will purchase a half dozen, and freeze a few, depending on my self control. I'm definitely going to try the praline cookie also, not that I need a new addiction, but there's pecans on it. Duh!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Some of the BEST cookies I have ever had. We ordered their chocolate chip and original burst cookies. They were so delicious and perfect for our family Easter.I ordered online and picked up my order in person. They helped me carry my order out to my car and were extremely welcoming.It was so nice to walk in the door watching them make the exact same cookies I ordered. You can’t beat these freshly baked cookies, such a nice hidden treasure.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’m not a big pastry/doughnut fan, but my family is. Whenever they get some, I’ll try some if they say it’s really good. So I’ve tried a lot of pastries. Most of the time, my reaction is yeah, they’re ok. When I tried North South’s pastries, I can honestly say they’re the best I’ve ever had. By far. 5 stars isn’t enough.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“?UPDATED? okay so I’ve been here several times as well as other locations and Graeter’s is hand down the best it’s absolutely incredible! The 1870 Tower is a sinful indulgence that’s not to be missed. Oh man!First time here. Came in with an open mind, thinking I wanted a banana split. But then the staff suggested the Black Raspberry Chocolate ice cream. Said it made up about 1/3 of their sales so I tried it and can see why! It’s delicious! Got a bag of chocolate malt balls to take back to the hotel. Graeter’s is a wonderful treat!“

“I called with a VERY last minute delivery request and they went out of their way to make sure to take care of me. I even received a call after they delivered to confirm. They made my Father in Law’s birthday extra special and I will gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a special sweet delivery!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“How did I not know this place was here? Seriously everything you could want from a smoothie spot. Focus on nutrition and health, with great prices. Come visit. Start your day with one of their smoothies and you won't regret it. Lol. I promise this is not a paid or sponsored review. I'm just blown away by the service I received and how I didn't know this place was so close to my house.“

“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“

“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“

“Tom thank you and your lovely wife for such a delicious savory treat. I highly recommend anyone reading this to stop in and give ‘em a try for a not too sweet brownie but filled with awesome flavors from raspberry to oatmeal and many more. Absolutely refreshing to be able to actually taste the flavors and not just loads of sugar!! I was supposed to take a picture of the brownies I purchased but I ATE THEM !Parking: Spacious area“

“Nice sandwich shop 700 feet from the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. Decent Cuban Sandwich. A good alternative to the hotel restaurants next door. Service is self-serve, with pick-up at sandwich counter, though you're encouraged to tip at checkout. You can take your food out or enjoy it at a table. A good option next to the Convention Center, though there are several full service restaurants 3-6 blocks down the street from the Convention Center.“

“This is a really cool cafe with delicious French treats. The croissant donut with Nutella is absolutely to-die-for. But don't forget the savory pastries too (like Smoked Sausage Bread). There really are so many things to try at PG that multiple visits are necessary! Counter service was very friendly. Well worth the drive from the suburbs, and parking along 4th Street is fairly convenient. Get the app before you go to earn rewards.“

“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.“

“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!“
