50 Best Bakeries near Castle Shannon

“Delicious, fresh, authentic Greek food and the friendliest, welcoming owners and staff. Impressive! Everything we ordered was amazing. They even surprised my daughter with a happy birthday pastry with a lit candle and sang to her. Highly recommend!“

“We came fairly early in the morning and most of them were gone already. They said they had a big rush, so we only got a plain cake donut for us to try. It was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Yum! We'll have to come again to try one of their yeast donuts.“

“A few places I frequent are partnered with Panaderia Jazmin, and when I was in the vicinity of this bakery, I had to stop.All the pastries are kept in a self-serve display case. You grab a tray and tongs at the door, and then you fill up your tray with the pastries you want to take home. You hand the tray over at the register, and they package them up for you.I loved all of the items I went home with, and I look forward to stopping there again.“

“Awesome bakery with lots of unique and delicious items! They aren’t just a bakery with sweet treats, but also serve boba, dumplings, and some sort of shaved ice I believe. It’s an awesome place. I tried the egg tarts, cream puffs, and crispy pineapple buns.The egg tarts were quite tasty. Not too strong of a flavor and relatively light, for an egg tart. They are small and perfect for a quick dessert. Nothing too crazy, but simple and tasty.The pineapple bun unfortunately didn’t have any real pieces of pineapple on it. But, it was still very good. The dough itself is very soft, fluffy, and airy. It is not heavy by any means. The top is crispy and sugary, but the bun itself doesn’t have a ton of flavor. There’s something in the middle but it’s not too discernible. Still, quite tasty.Finally, the cream puff. This was huge and delicious! It was filled with tons of cream, which was surprisingly not too sweet, and more buttery, almost. The dough is also tasty, similar to that of the bun. I’d highly recommend this.All in all, this is an amazing bakery in Mt. Lebo, and one of the few Asian bakeries near the city. Great menu, solid prices, lots of variety. Check it out!Kid-friendliness: Lots of sweet treats for kids“

“It is hard to get a truly homemade cake these days as many of the bakeries use a frozen base and just assemble them. This cake was handmade and perfect in every way! It was a surprise in every layer with the crunch from the chocolate topping to a fudgy middle, creamy delicious frosting and with a bouncy moist cake. So well done!“

“2nd trip here - changed up service to counter only. Order at counter, grab a table and they bring you your order. Food delicious as last time. Homemade baked goods - my wife loves their English muffins - used in their breakfast sandwiches and available for separate purchase. Sandwiches are huge. Get to Mt Oliver before summer 24 when they relocate to New Brighton. You won't be disappointed.“

“I have ordered cupcakes several times now from Sugar Butter Bakery, and each time they are amazing! The most recent order was actually cupcakes and a small cake for my wedding. Ange is great to work with and made sure every detail was perfect! And of course everything was delicious!“

“Best bread anywhere in the Pittsburgh area…worth our 30 minute drive to buy!! And if you want to treat yourself to the BEST cinnamon roll - buy one and savor it!! Flavor is incredible and one roll can feed 2 people easily!! If they ever make the flat non-iced sugar sprinkled cinnamon rolls again- I will buy them all!! Those are absolute perfection in taste and texture..piece of Heaven!!“

“I realized last minutes I needed desserts for a crowd and Rita came through in a pinch. This cookie cake is alllmost too beautiful to eat, almost lol This was our first order but I’m already looking for another excuse to place an order :)“

“This is honestly my favorite place! I get my hair done down the street and I always come here for the caramel latte ☺️. It's a ritual at this point. The pastries are amazing ?. Great service always, like I said I love this place ❤️“

“We love Ka-Fair. The staff are wonderful, and always quick to accommodate any special requests. And the food is wonderful. (We are OBSESSED with the crepe cake!) It’s such a unique spot, and we’re glad to have it within walking distance.“

“We have been coming here to enjoy all of the absolutey scrumptious breads for years! And we will continue to do so for years to come!But, this year we were so disappointed, there was no Irish Soda Bread!! Yours was the best we have ever tasted!! Perhaps you will bake it again next year?! Thank you for your amazing, tasty baking skills!Sincerely,Christine and Elmer Bakaysza“

“Delicious - hands down the best French bakery I've been to in the US and I would say the Tarte aux framboises was best ever / anywhere. The crust was impeccable and the right amount of everything. We bought several things to try and enjoyed it all!“

“Oh, Nancy B’s Bakery! In Pittsburgh’s fair domain, thy chocolate chip treasures reign supreme! Soft, gooey delights, unmatched by New York’s offerings. A confectionery haven, where each bite ignites the soul with bliss. From afar, I hail thee, for naught compares to thy divine creations!“

“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.“

“If you are from Pittsburgh you already know....if not, this is a must stop for all occasions as their Italian twist loafs are inarguably the best bread on the planet. Raisin bread is also spectacular. If you haven't experienced their bread, you need to get there asap!“

“I love this place.The first time I went, I was specifically craving Madeleines and couldn't make them cause I didn't have the pan. And searched the web for it and found this cute Lil place.Chefs kiss ?‍? the atmosphere first of is so relaxing, a cute café spot.The service was better!!! I bought my Madeleines and a couple of other treats, and at the time, it was almost closing time, and the nice lady gave me a bit extra. How precious. I went back again, randomly this time. Well, I was craving sweets and was in the area, and this time it was closing time a the gentleman gave extra of Madeleines again. It's always so sweet this place. ❣️❣️Parking: There's a spot far parking, but it's up to chance.. it holds about 5-7 cars.Kid-friendliness: Outside cafés area, open space for kids to run around.“

“When my best fiend told me about this lovely place I couldn’t wait to try it out! Let me tell you it’s so nice inside. It’s very unique and the owner is so sweet and helpful! She has a very positively happy attitude. And the cupcakes and puddings are to die for. I was eating a banana pudding cupcake and there was actual banana pudding in the middle. I was ready to buy more! Highly recommend love made edible“

“The family-owned atmosphere adds a charming touch to the experience. Open only on Fridays and Saturdays, but trust me, it's worth the wait. The aroma of freshly baked goods is irresistible, and each pastry is a taste of perfection. A hidden gem that deserves a visit – your taste buds will thank you! ???“

“We're visiting Pittsburgh and stumbled upon Georgie's during a walk. We came back today for breakfast and it was wonderful. The servers are very friendly. One went above and beyond by moving an additional outdoor heater closer to our table so we could each have one. They're very thoughtful and the food is delicious. I definitely recommend giving Georgie's a visit if you're in town.“

“I've enjoyed stopping in from time to time for birthday cakes, cookies, and paczki; but my absolute favorite item I've gotten from Bethel Bakery was our wedding cake. My husband and I got married on August 26, 2022 and our cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing. Even having the top layer for our 1 year anniversary was delicious. I cannot recommend Bethel Bakery more.“

“Visiting Pittsburgh for the weekend and had the pain au chocolat which reminded me of the croissant I had when I visited France, definitely delicious!! The sweet smelling aroma of newly baked pastries greeted us as my group walked in. The workers were all friendly and courteous, ready to assist or explain any inquiries.“

“This place is amazing, the pizza is so awesome, the baked goods are so good, they have these cherry and cheese Danish type pastry, they have a specific name i forget, but WOW they are amazing, there is cherry, apricot and a few others and I'm sure they are all as good as the cherry....The staff is always awesome too ?“

“5 stars is almost impossible... But they made that possible. The presentation of their baked assortments is magnificent the variety is incredible. You haven't had a Donut unless you've tried one here, The Filling in their Bavarian Donuts and Jelly is legit the best quality I've had out of the dozens of bakeries I've tried through out the years the staff is also very nice!“

“It's like a little country niche where they offer huge homemade cookies, unique and well-known sandwiches, homemade soups, coffee, locally made goods, and unique gifts. The sandwiches are enough for two meals (at least for us). And they are made fresh when you order. There is one 2-seat table near the door and they don't mind if you eat right there in the shop. Additionally, they have many different strengths of bifocals to borrow so you can read the menu. I love this little shop!Parking: There are not many parking spots in the center, but I've never had a problem finding a space. Worst case: Park a little ways down the street and walk, but I doubt you will need to do this.“

“The pastries were delicious, the customer service is a different story. We weren't offered any drinks, they assumed we were taking the pastries to go, so they were in a hurry to put them on plates.Once we paid and sat down, we were basically ignored.“

“They absolutely have the best Macarons I ever had..I’m originally from Europe I had really good ones in France before but this is better. What I also really would like to mention that Nancy who works at the airport location is amazing. Great service!“

“We just received a shipment of the caramel, sea salt chocolate drenched biscotti. They are divinely delicious! Just as we remembered from a trip we took last summer to Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. I told my husband that from now on, we will never send people flowers. We will send them these biscotti instead, and you can bet they’ll be more appreciated.“

“I love this place. Staff is typically quick and friendly. Good food and reasonable pricing. Gotta get there early if you want a good selection as some items are limited on daily production. I love their pepperoni rolls and breads. They make great sandwiches as well. Nice selection of grocery items as well.“

“Bella Christie never disappoints . They’ve made my daughter some pretty amazing cakes . They always exceed my expectations , Not to message super delicious. I also want to know that the communication is also noteworthy. They respond quickly and note define details!“

“A real Pittsburgh icon!Their hoagies are legendary!A very nondescript place a nondescript location.... AND INCREDIBLY MOUTH WATERING HOAGIES!!!!!!I highly recommend you go....it is impossible for you to walk away hungry!!!!!The Disabled Vet“

“La Gourmandine has a great selection of pastries and breakfast danishes and all of them are delicious and not pricey. The interior design is super cute and the service is very fast. The Tarte Au Citron is great if you want something that isn't too sweet - the tart and the lemon combination is delicious. There are also seasonal specials to look forward to. I've also ordered a few cakes from here and the process and pick-up is seamless.“

“I absolutely can not stand pizza. I have tried just about every place. A friend recommended your pizza. I am a believer in Pizza finally. Your chicken, bacon, ranch pizza is drool worthy. It is the only pizza I will willingly eat!! Thank you“

“So so so good! My partner and I split the Very Berry roll and a lavender sparkling lemonade and it was delicious! The lady running the store was so friendly and helpful and offered suggestions when we weren’t sure what to get at first. Definitely a Must Visit!“

“Stopped here on a whim while visiting Pittsburgh for the weekend. We were looking to grab a coffee and pastry and found this place close to where we were headed. Let me tell you. 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!!“

“(FYI -Review is of Portman's Farm Market.)Great local deli, market and bakery. The deli sandwiches are very good. Also, the lunch sandwiches from the Bakery area are excellent! I have had both the turkey and the chicken panini sandwich. Both were daily specials and both were super good! I would totally recommend Portman's for a quick lunch! The quality of the prepared food has been 5 stars!The grocery store section is small but nice. Most basic needs are available and you are in and out quickly. A nice quaint home town country store vibe. Definitely recommend! Once you know what they offer it deserves to be on the places to do business with radar. ??“

“Just found out that they have closed down. I have been buying their bread, rolls, and buns for a long time from my local Shop n Save. Their prices were much better than their competitors. Very good quality with no preservatives.I miss them...“

“My neighbor just bought a box of donuts to me and my wife and let me say THESE ARE THE BEST DONUTS IN PITTSBURGH AND SURROUNDING AREAS!! It's the right consistency with the icing on each donuts and MAAAAAN I was HOOKED from the first bite!! It's gonna be a BIG BACK SUMMER for me!! “

“I stopped in when I had a medical appointment in the area and left with two dozen cookies which were fresh and delicious! The donuts looked amazing. Staff were friendly. I’ll definitely be back here soon to get some of the frozen pierogies!“

“I never heard of Brother Tom’s Bakery before but I ran into Cibrone Bakery and purchased these frozen Pieroghis, they were nice and fat so I lightly boiled them to defrost and lightly fried them with some butter, Vidalia onion and fresh green onion, salt, pepper and garlic salt. These were delish! I make homemade ones sometimes so it is hard to find good ones but these are amazing! Highly recommend, will be purchasing more! Yum!“

“Signatures created my dream wedding cake! The tasting prior to the big day was so friendly, we were provided with so many options and their professional recommendations. They were totally open to whatever design we had in mind. We also added some sweet treats like fruit tarts and chocolate covered strawberries for our cookie table. The cake was delicious and everything we dreamed of! So great to work with!“

“They absolutely have the best Macarons I ever had..I’m originally from Europe I had really good ones in France before but this is better. What I also really would like to mention that Nancy who works at the airport location is amazing. Great service!“

“I ordered cupcakes for a Veterans Christmas party I was hosting. The cupcakes were beautiful and delicious. My favorites ( from what I ordered) were peppermint mocha and apple chai. I will return to try some of the other goodies - highly recommend!“

“An awesome Korean bakery! All of the items I got were definitely high quality. I think I prefer this place over Pink Box, but I’ll need to try more to be sure. I ordered the condensed milk loaf, twisted donut, plain buttercream bread, and the coffee bun.My favorite of the items was by far the coffee bun, which I was quite surprised by! It had nice, crispy edges full of sweet, but not too sweet, coffee flavor. The inside was soft and had hints of coffee as well. Overall, very good! And good portion for the price.The twisted donut reminded me of just a regular donut sprinkled with sugar. It wasn’t anything too special or extraordinary, but it was well made. The inside was soft, and it was very sweet.The plain buttercream bread was surprisingly not that sweet! The buttercream is quite rich and creamy. I will say, I would have liked a bit more of it, as the bread really dominated the flavor here. Still, great.I was a tad bit disappointed with the condensed milk loaf, but it was still great. I was expecting a bit more milky flavor and sweetness, but the hints of condensed milk are very light. The bread is still soft and fluffy, and a solid deal for the price.All in all, I really enjoyed this place. The desserts were all high quality and pretty fairly priced in my opinion. Solid portions as well. Some unique items, some more standard. Recommend it!Kid-friendliness: Kids would enjoy at least some of these treats“

“I was there for a charity event. They had delicious snack type food. My chai tea was absolutely delicious. Service was great and everyone very friendly. Much of the historic charm of the building is intact. The only reason for a 4 on atmosphere was the music was a little too loud.“

“One of the very few restaurants/cafes in Pittsburgh that serves Ube anything! -- Like other reviews, this is every foodie's dream: food was delicious (get their Ube Waffle!), decor is elegant (they have golden ceilings!), and service is super chill and calming. I've been here a few times already, and each experience is just the vibe.“

“This is award winning food. Gluten-free heaven for me! I had the tuna melt on GF focaccia bread, it was SO delicious I had to reconfirm that it was GF. The tuna was exceptionally mouth watering. GF made peanut butter cookie alone was worth coming back for. Salad was fresh and dressed to perfection.“

“We had Bethel Bakery make our wedding cake, and we couldn't have been happier with the service. Their at home tasting option was the nicest that we tried, the person who did our online consultation was great to work with, and everything was delicious!Unfortunately, we did have an issue with the cake itself. It arrived...basically in pieces. The delivery driver was in tears. Thankfully, our coordinator was able to largely salvage it, and Bethel Bakery, to their credit, could not have handled the mistake any better. They assured us that the cake and delivery charge would be free, and immediately followed up with an email the first thing the next morning, telling us to give them a call whenever it was convenient for us.When we called they were VERY apologetic, offered to make us a free anniversary cake, and even said they could decorate a fake cake, take it to our venue the next time they were there, and get pictures for us so that we could see what it should have looked like. We declined the fake cake photoshoot, but we were very impressed by the offer.Sometimes, accidents happen. What makes all the difference is how the company addresses the mistake. Bethel Bakery immediately took responsibility, and then went above and beyond to try to make things right. We truly appreciated their dedication to customer satisfaction, and we would not hesitate to use again for future cakes.“

“Vanilla. It’s the best. Hands down. And it’s back! Vanilla Pastry Studio has served our family beautiful birthday cakes, quick cookie pick me ups, event spreads, and cupcakes so yummy that your toddler won’t even leave a crumb. The lollies brighten any day.“

“I ordered a Neapolitan pastry and it was fantastic. A very refreshing and surprisingly light breakfast.The staff was very familial and treats their regulars with great care. If I'm ever back in the area I will definitely stop by again to sample some more. Strawberries seemed fresh and the cream was wonderful.“
