Great service with a smile. Pasties are delicious, and homemade pies are out of this world.

Good deserts but I wish the people were sweet as well. They get really upset at people when they park in their lot, they could be empty and still yell at you for parking in their "for customers only spots." Apparently this is such a big gripe that Sharon's place is being harassed as well. Like I get it maybe you lost some customers due to the diner's customers parking over there but you gotta be nicer and learn to pick your battles. They had good food but I'm not returning anytime soon.

Small bakery, big surprise! Nice lady behind a counter full of goodies. Packaged cookies, pies in the cooler, loaf-sized coffee cakes! Picked up two danish, one cinnamon swirl, and an apple walnut strudel (?) for $10! WHAT!?!? That's insane! Danish are buttery, strudel was amazing! I'll be back.

I ordered a spice cake from here that several other bakeries did not offer. I was so impressed, everything is made from scratch. The outside store doesn't reflect the gem inside. Everything looked so fresh and it's all hand made. I start telling all my friends to go here. The owner was a delight to speak with. Please support this family business, I'd like to see it continue. My only regret is I didn't stop in sooner.

I pass by this bakery all the time, but yesterday I needed a special cake for an event that I couldnt find anywhere else but here. They accommodated our need and everything was made from scratch. The owners really go out of their way for their customers. It was a total delight going in here today annd meeting them, plus everything displayed looked fresh and delicious. I started today telling all my friends to go here. The outside shop doesn't reflect how fantastic it is on the inside. Please support this family business.

Loved this place. I do wish they had more selections at walk in however i understand because everything is made there, on site. Therefore everything is so fresh and probably understandably may not have a great long term shelf life, if something doesn't sell fast enough.The woman at the counter was also very kind and sweet!I had bought danishes, for my dad and a cinnamon raisin bun for myself. Honestly, the difference in freshness was astonishing. If you're looking for a new bakery wish fresh items go to this place. Things that are not out you can order ahead of time. I do wish they had better hours but it is no big deal!!! This place is great and has great quality items and definitely seem to really care about how costumers like they're items due to the way everything is baked for you and that they obviously keep freshness and costumer satisfaction in mind!!!Especially compared to national bakery, which I've been having all my life. As of late National Bakerys bread and sweets now seem as if they're frozen longer (due to staleness, dry texture and things no longer being soft) then we're, prior to years before. ?

Best pies and Irish soda bread in NEPA and the sweetest ladies working there.

This bakery is FANTASTIC! They've got a spin on light danishes, my kiddos love the poppy seed croissant rolls, and my husband loves the square-ish shaped apple but pastry .. I love it all.

I bought a twist pastry with maple syrup drizzle and walnuts and it was fantastic! A good price for the size as well.

I have been coming here since the ‘90’s! No matter what you get everything is absolutely delicious. Tina, Gene, Kathy, Judy and everyone else always are so kind and wonderful. Mom and pop bakeries are the best

Disappointed, business rarely open to try.
