The Original Goodie Shop

This bakery has produced our daughter’s favorite birthday cakes two years in a row. She has always been very particular about her birthday cakes. She takes their design very seriously and appreciates the artistry that goes into a well-executed design. The Original Goodie Shop bakery has nailed it both times.

2024 Victorian 7-inch round cake
$58.15
White cake with almond-flavored, custom-colored buttercream icing, and a custom design based on inspiration photos.
More details:
1. I put in the order on a Tuesday and they produced this beautiful cake by Thursday. Caveat: I got lucky they could make this happen. It’s not a turn around time I would expect.
2. Eli meticulously worked with me, the photo inspirations, and my daughter’s requested color theme to document the order that resulted in the most beautiful birthday cake my daughter had ever seen. Eli even found a paint palette online to serve as an example for the decorator. The decorator perfectly interpreted my daughter’s vision.
3. Eli gave a detailed explanation of the price up front.
4. The cake was moist and the almond-flavored buttercream icing was delicious.

2025 Monet’s Water Lillies 7-inch round cake
$63.95
Almond-flavored white cake with custom-colored vanilla buttercream icing and a custom design based on an inspiration photo. This design required more expertise and time than the previous year’s design.
More details:
1. I worked with Emilie through email to submit the inspiration photo and other details ten days in advance.
2. Emilie provided a detailed explanation of the price up front.
3. Usually, our daughter has very specific ideas of what she wants for her birthday cake design, but this year, I wanted to surprise her. I think she was wary to give up control. She visited the MoMA in July and loves Monet’s Water Lillies painting, so I thought this would honor both. Because she prefers pastel over brightly colored icing, mainly due to the (typically) bitter taste, I was nervous. She couldn’t believe her eyes when we revealed the cake to her. She said it was perfect, and she knew right away what the inspiration was. She said it was so beautiful she didn’t want to cut it. Needless to say, we took many photos to preserve the memory of this work of art.
4. The cake was well-flavored and moist. The buttercream icing was perfectly applied, not too thick or thin, and the flavor was unaffected by the brighter coloring.

I am grateful for the decorators and crew at TOGS that have made two birthdays extra special for our daughter. 🎂💛

I went in very early on a Saturday morning to kind of beat the crowd. The pastries that I got in the cookies were good. But the customer service was absolutely terrible. The teenager/man that waited on me was beyond rude and to be honest, I almost left without my order because he was just that rude. I ordered several things, but because I didn’t get to finish speaking because he interrupted me he grabbed a bag to put all my items in when I ordered several things that needed a box and then he got rude with me about it like it was my fault that I ordered several things that would’ve required a box when I tried to explain him in the beginning that I was going to order several things. Even when he was checking me out at the end of it, he was rolling his eyes and was just so completely rude, like he didn’t even want to be there. I don’t necessarily know if this represents the type of company that you have, but I waited so long to finally get a chance to come to your shop from Virginia, and I could not have been more disappointed in how I was treated.

I had a wonderful experience at this bakery that went far beyond the product—it was genuine human warmth.

I’m an immigrant, and in all my time living here, almost no other place has shown a gesture like this. While picking up an Uber Eats order, a gentleman greeted me like an old friend and, to my surprise, offered me a donut. He even let me choose between vanilla or chocolate, but insisted the vanilla one would be perfect. I saved it to share with my wife, who knows a bit about pastry, and we both loved it.

The dough was soft and fluffy, with balanced sweetness, and the cream complemented the dough perfectly. An elegant, delicate, and memorable donut.

I don’t know his name, and he doesn’t know mine, but kindness and hospitality need no names. If you haven’t visited this place yet, you should—you’ll find quality… and humanity.

Walked in and wasn’t greeted. Bakery items do not all have pricing on cases and employee seemed annoyed that I was questioning prices. She also was answering while in the middle of our conversation. Ordered a cinnamon stick and pecan roll. The pecan roll was dry and did not have any flavor. I guess I was expecting to be wowed from the reviews. The cinnamon stick was edible but would not recommend. My daughter had a cheese danish and took one bite and said it was not good. I will not be returning.

Best donuts in Columbus

Husband and I stopped in here on a late Saturday afternoon before going to dinner next door. This was our first visit and the staff was friendly. The case to the right when you first walked in was pretty much completely empty, and they were almost out of pies in the top basket, but the cookie case and the ones to the left of the cookies, were pretty full. We selected an assortment of cookies, and they were all delicious! Next time we go back we want to get some of the rolls as well, as they looked very soft and fresh.

Great cookies and the sweetest workers. I love that’s it’s family owned and operated and the workers who aren’t family seem to be treated as such. Very pleasant and clean bakery too.

Wonderful bakery. One of my favorites.

Great food! Great value!

Sean and his sister Kelly were wonderful at helping myself and the customers who came in. They were prompt to greet myself and the other customer who came in, courteous, polite and were more than happy to help with our order. Five star customer service from them!
The treats are wonderful here and they even sell other items that are not desserts such as chicken pot pies which are good too.

This is my top choice of where to pick up desserts and treats when I need to go somewhere to get which is not very often

Just had a delicious and beautifully decorated cake from the Goodie Shop! We loved it!

This place is absolutely dismal, ordered a gluten free cake and mistook it for saw dust, this was dry and dense. They ruined my elderly grandmothers birthday with that absolutely atrocious cake. Staff was good and often friendly they looked like they were dying of heat exhaustion because of how hot that place was. Me and my aunt felt really lightheaded stepping foot into that store.
Overall if gluten free is ur jam this isn’t your place. And to be honest in general it’s not the place to go to.
Overall I give it a 2.5/10 they’re lucky half a point for trying.

I was getting a tire looked at and was waiting so I wandered over. First time in here and I had questions. The worker was not helpful and apparently not in the mood to help me. Fine, good help is hard to find. She’s young and she wanted to be somewhere else. I spent $20 on 6 cookies. 2 each of three varieties. Not one of them was good. The Buckeye something complicated name was sooooo dry and mine barely had any filling. (Picture posted) The iced sugar cookie was NOT fresh. How many days do cookies stay in your case?

I see now from the other reviews that maybe I picked the wrong items. Everyone else seems to like this place. Look at me with an unpopular opinion! I should have just walked down a bit farther to the little market to see what they had in place.

I saw this shop on Grubhub today while looking for somewhere that would deliver a special care package to a friend who just lost her beloved fur baby. They were so wonderful and accommodating and put together the sweetest Broken Heart care package. They were even sweet enough to draft a little note for me. My friend was just floored and so touched. She said the treats are delicious. And we both so love that the package comes with Pot Pies - the ultimate comfort food. Thank you all for your kindness. My friend will be stopping by when she's feeling better, and I'll definitely visit the next time I'm in town.
