20 Best Bakeries in Erie

“First time here. Had the avocado toast with potatoes. delicious 😋“

“I have been to the new location (5th and Cherry) twice since it opened and both times the food has been amazing. Staff are friendly and it’s such a cozy environment. There is often a line due to high demand but don’t be discouraged! It moves quickly. All of their pastries and pretzel rolls are delicious. 😋“

“We stopped to get sandwiches for take away while on the road. Wow! They were both so good. The person taking our order was patient with us as we figured out what we wanted. We also had two smoothies which were excellent as well. If traveling on I-90, this market/cafe is worth making a stop for. Very kind and helpful staff too.“

“Nice people & Erie tradition, no added chemicals just real ingredients and amazing variety of breads, rolls, cookies, cakes, danish, sweet breads & nut breads, etc. A real treat!“

“Best bakery in town, I’m so happy they are in Harborcreek! One thing is I do wish they had more of a gluten-free selection other than that everything that they make is the best!“

“I am a former owner of a small bakery and a person who still has a great passion & love of baking. I love tasting other people's baked goods. I had the opportunity to try their pinwheels and homemade hamurger buns at recent picnic and they were FANTASTIC!!!“

“Delicious food, fair prices and fantastic service!“

“I finally did it. After years of driving by this little business I decided today was the day I would take the time to stop. Everything I'd read about Bill's Bakery is true. He's such a kind man and the pepperoni balls are the best I've had in a very, very long time. The bread was so soft and fresh! I can't wait to try the holiday but roll this Sunday!“

“Overall - 5*****:
Discounted new and deeply reduced late date (but not expired) bread and baked goodies and snacks. Coupons in Valpak and annual Entertainment Books add to value.
Service - 5*****: Always awesome.
Atmosphere - 4****: The HVAC seems to strain at extremes, meaning they're wearing jackets inside in the worst of winter and it's like a greenhouse in the dog days of summer, but they are awesome people and most of the year between the extremes there's nothing to notice.
Food - 4 ****: Very very rarely, it seems the discounted marked off products have a QC issue, maybe a 3% occurrence in my experience. But with great high quality food for half or more off what you'd pay for the name brand in a store it's a small issue.“

“We love ordering from Ye Ole! Everything is always fresh, affordable and decorated so nicely!!!“

“Perkins on Peach Street offers a reliable and straightforward dining experience with a menu that covers classic American comfort foods. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, making it a convenient spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Portions are generous, and the selection of pies and baked goods is a highlight for those with a sweet tooth. Service is generally attentive, though wait times can occasionally stretch during peak hours. While the décor feels a bit dated, the restaurant maintains a clean and welcoming environment. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a familiar, no-frills meal at a reasonable price“

“Post 2020, what a world, Perkins is like Mom's lemon merengue pie available by the slice. The problem is, in post 2020 world inflation and costs have gone crazy. Perkins is an amazing place, still serving breakfast any time of the day, however it is now nearly 50 out the door for two on two breakfast entrees a side of sausage and a drink. The food is consistent and comes as ordered and always tasty. The bill now reflects entrees at a 300% increase from 2020, definitely puts a bit of a bad taste in your mouth.“

“I ordered 2 cakes, balloons, and flowers. To be delivered to my wife's surprise birthday party at a local restaurant. When we got there, the balloons and flowers were there but no cakes. I called and spoke with the manager and she put me on hold for a few minutes, and then informed me the delivery person indeed, forgot the cake and apologized and sent a gift card for my troubles with the cakes. Thank you, and I know mistakes are made. I will continue to do business here when I'm in town.“

“Went in for brunch today with a group of 25 people (day after wedding brunch). We made a reservation, got there and everything was good to go. Our server was amazing. Got everyone’s drink and food orders quickly and accurately. Food was out in no time. Several employees helped run all the food out and was great to see teamwork like that. All the drinks and food were great and made correctly. Price was very reasonable. I never expect things to be perfect when going somewhere with a group that size because it’s a lot of stress added to an already busy place, but they definitely were more than capable and knocked it out of the park. Thank you and definitely recommend to others !!“

“Excellent pastry and excellent service!“

“Their sweets always change and it's a cute shop“

“Just bought some anise at Giant Eagle. Absolutely delicious! Just like my relatives made!“

“AMAZING SUB!!! Just got to try the pepperoni balls and dinner rolls, I cannot say this enough, the best deli I've ever ordered or ready from! Thank you for all your kindness every time I visit! Would recommend for sure!!! Great food and great service! Very kind employees! Love this place!“

“I ordered a custom beta fish cake for my 3yr son and it turned out amazing. whoever made it did an awesome job and the cake tasted good as well.“

“Always SO impressed with this bakery!I gave no direction for this cake, except to have it match the topper I brought in. They knocked it out of the park! Prices are so reasonable, too. Have ordered cakes in the past and they’re always so beautiful AND delicious!“
