19 Best Bakeries in Erie

“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. 😋“

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

“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!“

“Had the Peach Pie and it was amazing.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Needed some spices a holistic dog vet recommended. They had every single one i needed that you can get yourself and weigh as much as you want. They also have tons of different nuts, seeds, coffees, some chocolates, candy, and dehydrated fruit that you bag and weigh yourself. This is great for making your own mixes.“

“Delicious food, fair prices and fantastic service!“

“NOT just breads, here. Snack cakes, doughnuts 🍩, Slim Jim's, chips, mini and full sized pies in EVERY fruit flavor, small novelty gum packs, so many choices, so little time!! And, they accept EBT as payment as well as cash, credit or debit cards, too!!

I actually 'spoiled' my dad by getting every mini fruit pie they had out 🥧, and even a few of the JJ's, prepackaged pies, because he really enjoys them!! Just my small way to give back and to express gratitude for being a work-driven parent, growing up!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Their sub roll may be the best sub roll I've ever had. We got a Ham, salami, and pepperoni sub with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and banana peppers. I wish they had onions, because that would have topped it off perfectly. The young lady who made our sub was so nice. The sub was exactly what I wanted, and we grabbed a slice of pizza too, which was great. I'm sure they make their own crust as well. I'll definitely go back there when the time presents itself. It is take out only, just so you know.“

“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 !!“

“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.“

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

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

“Excellent pastry and excellent service!“
