“My partner and I got dinner down the street and just happend to stop when we saw signs for rolled ice cream. Imagine my surprise when I saw so much more than that! Plenty of baked deserts, fresh breads, and authentic Asian foods. And BUBBLE TEA. I would share a picture of what I got but it was DELICIOUS and I drank it pretty fast. I can't wait to go back. The staff was very kind and pleasant and the whole shop has a cozy vibe and is immaculately cleaned. 1 million stars if I could.“

I would come here every day!! Delicious. We had an almond croissant, hazelnut croissant and brought some bread home. Just slices the olive loaf. I cannot explain how delicious it is. Keep doing a great job. We will be back when we visit the city again!!“

“We have been fortunate to partner with Bella Christie for about 10 years now.

We are eagerly looking forward to having Bella Christie at our next club event!“

Croissants and anything from that aisle is a must try too.“

“I've been going here my entire life, and they serve by far the best bread products I've ever had. On top of that, their staff is always above and beyond friendly and helpful. I wish I could rate the service higher than 5/5 on Google, because they deserve it. Go here and get some bread and a pepperoni roll, you will not regret it.“

“Bethel Bakery made our wedding cake, and it was everything we hoped for and more! It looked absolutely beautiful-exactly what we envisioned-and tasted just as amazing. Our guests were raving about it all night! The team was great to work with: super helpful, responsive, and clearly passionate about what they do. We’re so happy we chose Bethel Bakery to be part of our special day. Highly recommend!“

“I Shop There Two Times A Week , Dinner Sauce & Meat Balls , Sandwichs , & Treats Amazing ♥️👍♥️“

“I often shop with them at the Market Square farmers market in downtown on Thursdays between 10am-2pm. I must say they have huge, soft, deliciously sweet and/or salty flavors. It’s truly great the staff are so helpful and efficient. They sell out fast but so far my favorite flavors are cereal killers, strawberry pretzel and the steel city cookie! They are so so good. Olivia normally cashes me out and she’s a doll! They offer 3/$8 that’s unbeatable for the size and great quality. The first time having them I was surprised. I’m officially a cookie girlie now.“

“I needed the perfect cupcake to take to a bridal shower last weekend and I found the perfect place. Batter and Dough is amazing. Everyone could not stop talking about the cupcakes. They were so moist and beautifully decorated. I wished I would have taken pictures. The staff was very friendly. I will definitely be back“

“A friend asked me to pick up a turtle cheesecake. I go here and the lady says we don’t have any made but I have a carrot cheesecake. So I took that and caught “heck” from my friend because it wasn’t what she asked for. I explained that they didn’t have any so she called and was told yes we have 3 turtle cheesecakes. Last time I buy anything there.“

“We had lunch at LeoGreta today and stopped at the bakery as we were leaving. We just tried the apple pie and it was delicious. Great crust and the filling wasn’t overly sweet, apples had a bite still and the spices were perfect! I had a good cappuccino as well! Definitely recommend and will be back!“

“Fast, friendly service with amazing sandwich’s and baked goods!!“

“Absolutely the best. The canneles are my favorite! The macarons are always amazing! A real treat every time I’m in Pittsburgh!“

“Best biscotti I’ve ever had, so packed with flavor and reminded me of an amaretti cookie but had a delightful chewy texture. The service was also excellent, the woman at the counter was so lovely and kind, she went the extra mile and even brought us out a free coffee to have with our biscotti. Great experience I’ll definitely be back and recommend to friends.“

“Their pizza crusts are amazing. They are apparently a wholesale distributor only nowadays was wanting to go check it out but when I called in that’s what they said. They’re still open you just have to find their products at shop n save and elsewhere.“

“The chocolate caramel bar was recommended and delicious! The cannoli wasn’t anything special, but the cafe overall had a sophisticated, modern vibe that would be good for work/studying or brunch!

Parking: Parking lot is free and nearby but have to walk a little bit to get to the restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a drop-off lane and no stairs“

“cellone breads are always fresh and the taste cannot be matched! bring it to Costco Charleston SC“

“The pastries are exquisite, both in appearance and taste. It is by far my favorite patisserie in all of Pittsburgh. I try to stop in each time I visit the area.“

“Great bread many varieties available“

“We hired Noel at Mami’s Bakes to do cookies for our wedding rehearsal dinner and they were amazing! Everyone thought they were so delicious and had no idea they were vegan and gluten free. The red velvet cookie was totally amazing. We also ordered mini banana bread loaves for our wedding welcome bags and got so many compliments from guests! Noel was so nice to work with and took time for phone calls to make sure everything was perfect. We’ve also done orders just for fun or for holidays which have also all been delicious. Some of us in my family are vegan, some gluten free, and it’s so nice around the holidays to be able to pick up something delicious that everyone can eat. This year we ordered the coffee cake for Christmas morning and it was a huge hit, soo delicious! The cuban coffee cake is also insanely good!“

“Our 8 & Under “Mini Team” had a GREAT time for bonding night at The Pie Place! They learned how to make cakes and decorated their own. The staff was patient and cakes were delicious!“

“Last week I popped in to buy my daughter's cake request for her 17th birthday. The cakes were all delicious and were the icing on the cake for her special day! I was able to grab lovely last minute birthday candles, too! We are very fortunate to have Nothing Bundt Cakes so conveniently close to us!“

“That you go! Lots of delicious food, the selection of beans is fantastic and they are sold in bulk weight. The store is immaculate, and one of my favorite things is the double door system at the entrance which deters insects, varmints, and unsanitary conditions that come along with those. Oh, you can also watch the pitas being made through the glass wall as they come off the conveyor and get ready to come to your house.“

“Amazing service! They took a custom order in short notice, I was trying to find some place that would make a white cake with key lime filling and a key lime butter cream with graham cracker crumble and all the other places said they do not offer that flavor and they made it no questions asked and it was the best cake I have ever had. The cake was so moist and the key lime filling was so refreshing. Best experience I have trying to get a custom cake.“
