50 Best Bakeries near Shaker Heights

“word cannot even describe how heavenly these cookies and baked treats are. The smores bars instantly transport me back to my grandma's house, in front of the wood stove putting together that messy concoction, yet all you need is a napkin. I found them at UH farmers market but will definitely be ordering more.“

“Challah_at_Meg is amazing!!! I ordered the chocolate Nutella with sprinkles and it was the best freshly baked Challah I've ever had. The Loaf is enormous and filled to match. I would recommend Meg to Everyone and I will definitely order again!“

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

“The takeout baked desserts and patisserie are outstanding. My favorite was the pear galette, a rustic French-style tart with artfully folded flaky, buttery crust, and deep fruit flavor. Less successful was the ganache pecan pie, which was beautiful (as they all were) but the flavor combination of rich on rich didn't work in my personal opinion. Also really liked the lemon merigue tart. The croissants are very, very good, not absolute top tier but all the flavors are there.“

“their Sammie's, their quiche, their baked yummies all are amazaballz! I'm so happy they are in Larchmere & pray they are a smashing success & stay a part of our community.“

“I love this store. Everything that comes out of it is delicious. The staff is amazing , always courteous and friendly. I usually do preorders and it’s always ready or just about ready when I get there. Couldn’t be happier with this Crumbl store!!“

“Boba tea in so many flavors! Chicken teriyaki is delicious, as is all the buns and treats.“

“Highly recommend trying! Soo good!“

“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.“

“I worked across the street from them and eat there all most every day and love their food and everyone that works there great people“

“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.“

“Great service and amazing cupcakes 🤩“

“This is CJ I ordered my sister's birthday 🎂 cake from Florida and this cake was amazing and Macarons were incredible this is is bakery that you want to have a perfect event thank you so much I'm impressed 👍“

“I don’t write reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves it.

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn’t just another coffee shop—it’s part of the community. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place where you can settle in for a few minutes or a few hours and feel completely at home.

The coffee is consistently excellent—rich, smooth, and clearly made with care, winter, spring, summer and fall! Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup on the go or trying something new off the menu, you can taste the quality. And the owners? Genuinely some of the kindest people you’ll meet. They remember faces, take the time to chat, and make every visit feel personal.

What really stands out is how much heart goes into this place. Supporting a locally owned business like this feels good, especially when they put so much back into the customer experience.

If you’re anywhere nearby and haven’t stopped in yet, you’re missing out. This is the kind of spot that turns first-time visitors into regulars.“

“love the verity, always changing up their specials and sales! There seriously a little bit of everything you would need! I would recommend stopping in if you never have!“

“I go there every week to buy food and/or baked goods. They have catered parties for me! Highly recommended!“

“Always stock up on rye bread when in town. It was still steaming when being sliced. SO DELICIOUS!Somehow several boxes of cookies, bags of assorted pastries, and some brown mustard made its way into my bag too!“

“They the best poppyseed rolls I've ever had in my life ..“

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

“This bakery is a standout among bakeries in Cleveland! The quality of the cafe level drinks and all of the pastries and goodies is phenomenal. I have been to a lot of cafes/bakeries around the world and the bakery items here are so delicious because they are a little less sweet than the standard bakery. The cakes are light and fluffy, the cream filled breads and donuts are decadent and light, and the classic Korean style croquettes and fried bread items are delicious! I have been coming here since they opened, and the owners are so lovely and sincere as well. I would recommend this bakery to anyone who loves not too sweet baked good, and delicious and light savory croissants/breads! My personal favorite are the matcha creme donuts and breads. Also their lavender matcha latte and matcha frappe are to die for!

Also the service and the people who work here all are incredibly friendly and professional. They take time to pack your items for take out orders, and are careful.

Please just come and see for yourself :)“

“It’s been awhile since we have gone to little Italy, Presti’s has been our favorite, they did not disappoint. Took the grandkids & eat so much great stuff! Great prices. Dinning area clean & bright. Restroom room is a 7 out of 10. Chose their pasta, meat Stromboli, spinach & sausage Stromboli, eggplant, red tortellini pasta & of course their cannoli, lady locks - the young man who help was sweet & kind, warmed up everything. Love the self serve water.“

“I ordered mini sweet potato pies from Ms. Anita and they were very delicious. The crust was flaky and tasty and the sweetness of the filling was just right. These were the perfect treats for the Thanksgiving holiday. Ms. Anita is very professional and had the treats ready on time. I will be ordering again. If you’re reading this review- don’t delay, try Anita’s Sweet Treats today!“

“I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to Ethan and his staff for doing such an absolutely amazing job at my daughter's wedding this past weekend. Ethan is the best! He is a pleasure to work with, he knows his job and does it very well. The servers were so kind and worked so hard while keeping a smile on their faces at all times. And the food...it was incredible. I am a picky Italian when it comes to Italian food and Alesci's has some of the best Italian food in Cleveland. Everything tasted fresh, homemade and authentic and my guests LOVED the food which makes me that much happier. This is the second wedding that Alesci's catered for me. I have 2 more kids to marry off and will no doubt be calling on Alesci's again! 5 stars on all accounts.“

“Best biscotti ever! We love them and will be ordering online. Discovered them at the Pittsburgh home show. Highly recommend you try these, you will be glad you did!“

“It is a bit late but they made my wedding cake. When I say it was perfect I can't not even express how amazing of a job they did. They gave me a Husband and wife donuts topper, had nailed the very specific cake flavor I wanted and made it look so beautiful. I can not praise them enough for this. It made my wedding day even better.“

“Always such good cakes! I usually order their Cassata cake and it's always great, and have gotten the cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries on occasion and they have always been amazing as well! This year I ordered the chocolate lovers cake and it was just as delish as the other items I've ordered! I deff reccomend them! 🍰🎂“

“Had dinner here on a Tuesday evening with my mentor. The service was amazing, our waiter was great, the food was delicious 🤌🏻 The atmosphere was a total vibe 🎶 10/10 recommend!!“

“Great pizza and desserts!“

“I stopped in at Easter to buy chocolate for making buckeyes. First time in since the new owner took over. She was very pleasant. The store is neat and clean and was very well stocked. I'm so glad I have a baking/candy supply store like this near me. I highly recommend.“

“The food is fantastic. Love the pita, grape leaves, falafel, etc., etc., etc. Always treated well, never felt disrespected, but then, unlike another commenter, I'm not a thin-skinned fry operator who has an unrealistic and umdeserved ego. Will be there in a couple of days to pick up the fixings for NYE dinner.“

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

“We have ordered before and always get yummy things. Today, she saved the day. We have our big FUNraising event this evening. Problem elsewhere with a photo cake. She helped us at the last minute to make it all work out. A pleasure to work with and sooo wanting a happy customer. Will definitely order again. Thanks again for your kindness and help❤️❤️❤️“

“great pies!!! will be placing another order!!!!“

“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.“

“When I say this are the best cup cakes I ever had I am not making this up. Not only are you getting a delicious cupcake but you are getting a beautiful work of art. The double chocolate melt in your mouth and the pumpkin strudel were amazing I can’t wait to order more for xmass. And the way her packaging is perfect thank you so much for making this for me and my friend and family 😊 thank you“

“Heard about this place from a coworker. Not easy to find - the owner runs her business out of her house. Asian bakeries/patisseries are hard to come by in the Cleveland area so naturally I was excited to try and was not disappointed. Ordered a box of pastries as well as their green tea roll cake. Croissants are the best I’ve had in Cleveland. So many flaky layers, perfect texture, just the right amount of sweetness. Green tea roll cake was also phenomenal. Had bits of red bean and the cream was light and airy. The cake itself was soft and moist. Will be coming back. Highly recommend“

“We stopped in for lunch and it exceeded our expectations! We ordered a ham sandwich on focaccia bread with potato, broccoli and cheddar soup, and the Claudio sandwich with white bread. It was all spectacular! The story of how the shop started was also sweet to read inside the restaurant. We will definitely stop here again next time we are in the area.“

“I LOVE this small discounted bread store with both day old & fresh items. Items vary by day. They also carry popcorn, snacks, pasta noodles, condiments, soup mixes, cookies, candy bars & candy, chips & and the list goes on. I only purchase my bread, buns & sweets here at these amazing prices. Schewebel's is worth the stop, even if a bit out the way with grocery store prices these days check them out.“

“Everything at Corbo’s is so fresh. We started going to Little Italy location years ago and now Playhouse location since we stay downtown when coming to Cleveland Clinic. It’s nice coming for a good cup of coffee and breakfast. Whether you want a sweet treat or breakfast sandwich, everything is superb including lunch. This is a nice spot to catch a break and has the best customer service . We will be lifetime customers ! ❤️“

“Your cakes are so addicting! I know there are 4 servings.....but for my family and I....it's one!!! They were in Meijers here, but they are not anymore. Any chance they will make a return????“

“Michele made a delicious cake for my Mother In Law’s retirement party! She was very accommodating to a nut allergy and the cake was phenomenal!“

“I have been getting Cassata cakes & treats from you all since I was little. I celebrated my 37th birthday on June 19th. I went on vacation to North Carolina & drove 8 hours with my Cassata cake in a makeshift cooler of dish bins. I chose the dish bins because the cake box fit perfectly surrounded by ice packs. I took the advice of the sweet lady who helped me in store by saying to plastic wrap the cake box and use a trash bag then wrap the ice packs. She even was so kind to give me an ice pack she had there as well. I just want to say thank you all for always having great customer service & kind hearts.“

“I’m always busy, working, doing errands and i needed to find a place to eat that has a ln extensive menu. I can grab breakfast and lunch with extra to take home too! The manager and staff are friendly and very hard working. It’s centrally located and whether i’m eating in or taking out, The Cafe Honeycomb manages their business like you are their only customer, with attention to every detail. Their delicious food and great service is the reason I love to shop local!“
