50 Best Bakeries near Akron

“I liked the store very much!“

“Fabulous cream cheese bialys! Better than I can find in NY.“

“This was something like my 3rd visit. It is an absolute must when coming to Amish Country. Make it a jumping off place for your exploring. The baked goods are amazing, the service is friendly, efficient and well thought out and the ambiance lets you begin to feel that you have really stepped away from your busy, modern life. Great for families, tourists or those who just want a to slow down.“

“House of Clarendon made the wedding cake of our dreams. It was classic, elegant, and exactly what we wanted—Martine absolutely understood the assignment. Not only did it look perfect, but it was hands-down the best cake we’ve ever tasted. Our guests couldn’t get enough—many went back for seconds, and some even thirds! We’re still getting compliments on it!!! If you want a wedding cake that delivers on both looks and taste, House of Clarendon is the one hands down!!!“

“I really like everthing I have ever bought at Zigs, my problem is the service, you can be at counter waiting for service an the servers will just walk past you.“

“This is hands-down, the best place to get cakes! I have never been disappointed in all the years I’ve been ordering from here“

“Cute shop and informative tour! Awesome, fresh pretzels!“

“The owner of the shop was wonderful and extremely friendly. We stopped in and purchased one of each cupcake flavor. They were the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this shop !“

“The service was quick and very pleasant. Your coffee was some of the best I’ve drank and your black bean brownie was better than a regular one!! My grandson enjoyed it and never knew the difference ❤️ An eclectic, homey, well priced coffee and eatery. Lots of options for vegan and gluten free. Will definitely be back!“

“Ordered a cake a couple days before Christmas, not only did she get it to me before Christmas she made that thing with love! I got so many compliments on the cake and enjoyed it myself. Highly recommend“

“Alway a good place for a quick lunch, often there are samples for you to try.“

“Fantastic - we popped in and thoroughly enjoyed the shop. The staff were so friendly and the food absolutely divine. I had never seen a Shoofly Pie before - but that did not stop me from purchasing a large one (much to my wife's amusement) and I enjoyed every last mouthful“

“Beautiful White Rhapsody Birthday cake! The colors and the glitter were so pretty! The raspberry mousse and raspberry marmalade are like clouds of heaven. First cake from here and would definitely order from them again. Prices are reasonable as well. Thank you!“

“Inclusive and delicious! My favorite combo!“

“Sandwich and pretzels were fresh! Pretzels are like the ones we made growing up. Liked the cranberry twist to a choice as well. However, one regular was a bit overcooked. The gal that waited on us was very nice. Great stop! If you’ve never had homemade soft pretzels (not the game day kind) - then it’s a must stop!“

“Great people, found them while delivering over the years as a truck driver.If you have a farmers market in your area with Amish selling cheesecake, cakes, and torts most of it is Pellmans, if you can't make it out to the New Holland area“

“The journey to this bake shop is a story.

We drive into an Amish farm and saw no cars parked, nor a sign telling us where the bakery is. We drive deeper into the barn, almost knocking over the family dog. There were some dogs in cages barking at us, not sure if it was to welcome us, or to warn us.

We saw a guy who seem to work there, or owns the place. He told us that we went too far in, and said “turn around, it’s the red shed”.

We turned the car around, again, looking around to see which of those could be the bakery. We saw a hand written board “open”.

We go in. Shelves were almost empty except for a few trays of whoopie pies and some fry pies in the refrigerator. No one was inside except a box saying “self service”. “Interesting” we thought. Never have we seen such an establishment that was based on trust.

OH yes, how were the pies you say? SO GOOD. Just gotta bake them real good for a little. The whoopie pies are also really moist and cream not coyingly sweet.“

“Went to lancaster today and visited this place...Nice atmosphere...The owner and staff were very friendly, Place was very clean... The empanadas were delicious...must try an alfajore for dessert... Can't wait to visit again.... Thank you, had a great time there.....“

“Unique accent to the local "flavor". Neat, clean, well stocked with only locally made food for that unique experience. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Stop in, a must see that's worth it!“

“Love this place very friendly and happy people to be around“

“Amazing pies and breads😚“

“Definitely the best sticky buns hands down! Mr. Sticky would sometimes bring a truck/trailer to my hometown roughly and hour away and my mom always got us sticky buns when I was a kid if they were in town. If you are visiting Lancaster and are in this particular area off of route 30 it's totally worth pulling over!“

“Finally got here after nine years in Lancaster! Omg, I've missed the BEST cannolis ever! Fresh piped cream, just the right touch of cinnamon in the shell. ABBONDANZA!
They match the ones we would get at Little Italy in Baltimore! And that's saying something!“

“Best Sandwiches in Lancaster area!! And the service customer is great, will definitely come back!“

“After seeing a lot of advertisements on Facebook I decided to go ahead and place an order (good job marketing team).
I ordered a six pack of assorted cookies. The order shipped right away and was at my door within in couple of days. The cookies arrived carefully packaged and everything got to me in one piece. Right away I tried the S'more cookie and... O M G!! Everything exceeded my expectations. Fresh, delicious, and pretty much the perfect cookie. I will definitely be a returning customer.
**Editing**
I was about to place another order and noticed that some cookies are only available if you subscribe to their cookie club. The monthly cost is a bit steep, but I figured I'd try it for the minimum three months. Once reached check out and saw that it was going to cost almost two hundred dollars for the order, I immediately hit the brakes and decided that I couldn't justify paying that much money for cookies. Especially because I have no way to know if I would even like the flavors without trying them first. Can your average customer really afford this? I'm still giving you five stars because your cookies are incredible. But please consider allowing customers to order any of your flavors without needing to subscribe.“

“We came across Amaranth Bakery at a festival recently. They had quite a selection of GF vegan options available. The brownies were the absolute best that we’ve had. Amaranth knows how to bake!“

“Deliciously Excellent pie and coffee!!! Warm and inviting atmosphere! People are absolutely amazing! We travel from Staten Island and visit every time! 🩷“

“Wonderful experience! Clean, and fun rides“

“My kids were hungry while we were shopping at the outlet mall. We got the regular salted pretzel and the cashier also gave us a cup of cold water as it was very hot outside. My family was able to grab one out of their 2 tables. Wished they had more places to sit.“

“I am reviewing the location, not the product. This is not a bakery. I was very excited to see a GF bakery near me on google maps, and went with my husband to try it out for breakfast one day. But this is not a walk-in bakery, it is a manufacturer. They bake the goods and ship them to other stores. I was so sad that this wasn't a dine-in or even takeaway location. (I hope it becomes one someday!) Also, the name for the location is Tonya's Gluten Free Kitchen. Google, please update this information for other people out there, as my changes keep getting rejected. Thank you.“

“Love! Our local store delivered pretzels for all staff! Thanks, Tanya (Ephrata store)“

“best pizza Lancaster PA!!! always friendly and helpful staff too!!!“

“Walked over with a friend today and the staff was very friendly upon arrival, they answered all of our questions about the menu. We had their iced matcha with oat milk and a iced latte with milk. We also grabbed their biscuit with strawberry jam and butter. Everything was refreshing and had a great taste! I would definitely recommend.“

“Excellent cakes!! Tracy was very communicative and matched our cake to the reference picture perfectly for my son’s birthday. Will be going here for all of our special occasion cakes moving forward.“

“While I like most of Stoltzfus’s items, I’ve been disappointed in their chicken salad. It used to be a staple in our home but seems like they’ve changed the recipe. It’s now so runny with mayo (or whatever they use) that it plops right off our sandwiches. They’ve also seem to cut back on the celery which added a nice contrasting crunch. Please bring back the old recipe.“

“My order was done exactly as I needed it and was ready for pick up at the requested time

Parking: Is located in the food court of a mall, more than enough parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Has parking, ramps, and automatic doors“

“amazing cakes and pastries beautiful work friendly service 5 ⭐️“

“Linden Coffee makes my taste buds happy! Seriously though, we stopped by one day on a trip to PA. We are from MD. In ordered a hazelnut cold brew, oh boy was it yummy. We came up to PA again and I made it a point to stop before we headed home. Again, they did not disappoint! This coffee is GOOD! I dance inside when I drink it. ❤️“

“I have ordered the pumpkin rolls for 3 yrs now from Amazon and they are so delicious,l will continue to order them for the holidays“

“I stopped by yesterday for the first time and wish I would have purchased more (I don't live nearby, so it will be a while before I can get back again). The macarons and caramel marshmallows were delicious!“

“The baked goods are amazing, friendly staff with good customer service. Would definitely recommend!“

“The food was good and overall we enjoyed our experience. I dinged them because they were out of quite a few things on the menu. It was fairly early on a Saturday evening (6:00 reservation) and they were out of four main courses, a salad, and an appetizer. There were no seafood choices at all. The ambience was kind of nondescript but in their defense they weren't in their regular space. I did love my dessert - I don't see it often on menus.“

“I drink my coffee black, so flavor is everything. It was very tasty coffee. The only thing I would change is perhaps a bit hotter. I like my coffee to stay hot for a while.“

“Absolutely amazing food great service!!! I got the loaded breakfast tot!!! 10/10 RECOMMEND!!!! Thank you savory truffle for a wonderful meal!!!“

“We finally got a chance to stop by and the red velvet one was phenomenal! the employee answered all my questions and was incredibly friendly. We will absolutely be back and recommend everyone to give them a try!“
