The king cake, with raspberry and cream cheese filling, was almost as good as those from Randazzo's in New Orleans. This is, indeed, a high compliment. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the high-quality of Barb's King Cake, as well as the courteousness of the employee with whom we spoke with on the phone as well as the person who helped us in the store. I look forward to our next purchase of a baked goodie from Barb's Bakery, which will definitely be in the near future and will before Mardi Gras next year. read more

Great bakery in Phoenix. I've only had their cupcakes and mini cheesecakes and both were delicious. The cashiers have been friendly both times I have been there. read more

I stopped here on my way to work and bought a ham & cheese croissant, a spinach and feta pastry and a blueberry bagel. Also four cupcakes. My co-workers and I shared the pastries and I can personally say the savory ones were very delicious. The cupcakes were good, though not the best I've ever had. I tried carrot cake, the pink one, orange dreamcicle and lemon raspberry. Nicely sweet, big pile of frosting on top, and attractive in appearance. I found the price to be fair, the shop to be clean and with lots of variety (I had a hard time choosing just 4 cupcakes) and there was easy parking out front. The woman who helped me might have been Barb. Very friendly and welcoming attitude. I'd stop in again! read more

I love the soft cookies and the frosting is heavenly. Highly recommend people to try this bakery! Best quality and best tasting cookies ever. Very clean store and staff is also always friendly. Willingly will make the 40 minute drive for a cookie! read more

I've had bakery goods from Barb's many times over the years...mostly through work. Stopped to pick up 1/2 dozen cookies as a grad gift for a co-worker and we didn't call and order ahead of time. There were six decorated sugar cookies, butterflies and flowers, which actually were perfect. We all love the sugar cookies!!! First time I've actually been in the shop and wow! The smells alone were great and had I been going straight home, I would have purchased a few other yummy treats (like the cupcakes!) to take home for later. It's right down the street from work so I will make a stop when I'm in the office! read more

A tantalizing display of confections greet you. So many wonderful options to choose. I went buck wild since there for my bday. What better reason to splurge on some splendid desserts to take on a road trip. I ordered 2 red velvet cupcakes, a german chocolate, a orange dreamsicle oh my, pink champagne, a lemonberry, and a strawberry cheesecake. Then added a slice of pecan pie to go. I took a big sinfully delicious bite of the strawberry cheesecake and orange dreamsicle. Both were divine!! Soft and delicate and such great flavor! I think I found my new favorite bakery read more

It's summer, we all know that. I stopped by the store thinking it was open, closing time 3:00 pm, but they are on summer hours and they close at 2:00 pm. A nice lady waited for me to get out of my vehicle and said they were closed. I kindly asked her to help me and she did. I asked if she is the owner, she said no, she works there. Her name is Norma, and I really appreciated her willingness to help, even if it was after closing time. Customer service it's not just a slogan for Barb's. It's what they do. And, in my humble opinion, places like that, deserve our business. As simple as that. Thank you Norma! read more

My son got married on a very short notice and I needed a cake. I called Barbs bakery and spoke to Vanessa who got me set up with a cake the same day. It was wonderful. They went Above and beyond getting the cake prepared for us to pick up for the restaurant the same day. We will be having a big reception soon and will be needing another cake, but at least I will be able to plan it. I will be getting it from Barb again! Great cupcakes and cakes. read more

The best bakery in the valley hands down! Countless family and friends have used this bakery for various specialty occasions and they NEVER disappoint. My god mother bought her wedding cake her 23 years ago and I still go every year for Mardi Gras for a King Cake. Couldn't recommend more! The service is always top notch! read more

Barb's is an old-school Phoenix bakery which provides baked goods to many other retailers in the Valley, so they are The Source. They did cookies for our daughter's wedding welcome bags which were terrific and much better priced than three other custom cookie companies we got quotes from and their service was personable and accommodating. Cookies were done on time with no glitches and looked great. Have used them for years. read more

I've had 2 cakes and a mouse from here, and none of them were bad at all. But mostly, I felt like they were average. The workers were all incredibly nice. The cakes are pretty cute. I will say I liked the carrot cake. It was tasty. I ordered a second cake that was pink champagne and it was just okay. The mousse I didn't really like, I thought it would be a tan lighter. I tried the strawberry cheesecake cupcakes as well. I think that was the flavor and thought I'd love it, but it tasted a little artificial to me. I think the texture is amazing, it's definitely moist and fluffy but I just wasn't super crazy about the flavor profiles. For me, they were good but not necessarily go out of my way for. read more

My brother picked up some eclairs, mouse/ganache cups and a "gooey cake" for our dad's birthday celebration--YUM! Couldn't finish more than 1/2 of any of the yummies in one sitting, super rich and super delish. Bakery is way far from where we live, but when in the area again we'll def. stop in for a treat. read more

Went back to Barb's for another birthday cake challenge. This time, it was a replica of my dog. The cake was delicious - orange cream cake with chocolate filling and chocolate fondant; unique! The ears were not cake pops but rather cardboard wrapped in fondant. For such an expensive price $$$$, the ears should have been cake. The nose is not shaped correctly and is missing the unique white stripe down his nose. However, I will let you decide if the cake resembles my dog. ;-) read more

The staff at Barb's bakery helped pick out 2 dozen deserts for a breakfast potluck at my job. The variety of pastries are a true winner. All where gone by the end of my shift. I highly recommend visiting Barb's Bakery and trying their vast selection of cakes, pastries, cookies and donuts. Their display alone, will tantalize you! read more

I've been multiple times for cupcakes and cake. I like that they open very early. If you have an emergency and need a cake they have available ones that can be personalized a bit. Their cupcake selection is great. Overall I enjoy them but I don't think they're out of this world good. They have other baked items like cinnamon rolls, macaroons. Service is good. read more

UNRELIABLE FOR SPECIAL EVENTS I ordered a cake online for a milestone birthday. When I called to confirm the order 3 days ahead per their website I was told they never got the order and because of Thanksgiving they would be closed on Saturday, the day I needed the cake. If I got there in the next hour I could pick up something, though the cake would be three days old by the time of the birthday. DO NOT COUNT ON THEM for a special occasion. I've ordered from Barb's for years but will find a different local business to support. read more

You know how there are those places where you always intend to stop but don't because they're too tempting? Well after hearing Barbs makes King Cakes I had to stop. They let you choose from numerous filling choices so I choose cream cheese. Four day wait so that's fine. I had to try a cupcake for the road so tried the lemon raspberry. I must say it was the best I've ever had. Perfect size and amazing taste. Barbs bakery is a must stop for me all your custom baking needs. Thanks! read more

Epic cupcakes! I was gifted the lemon cupcakes for my birthday and OMG they were amazing!!!!

Service is great, wide variety of quality donuts / pastries, and it's very reasonably priced. Best donuts I've had here in Arizona. Love this place, will definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area. read more

Food items are being reused multiple days. Stale. The staff is also rude. It also feels like they only like certain types of customers.

The store front bakery is fine, but it isn't spectacular. We went in today, and the employees looked like they were trying to be nice, but they weren't overly friendly. We have a party coming up, so we tried a bunch of different options to see what would be good for a dessert table, and after trying them all, we weren't very impressed. Now, I will say their cookies are fantastic and we have had them many times in the past. But the cupcakes...they are small and they lack flavor. They tasted like a poor quality boxed cake, and the frosting was melting off. The frosting tasted like a mix between a whipped cream and buttercream, and not in a good way. We also tried the brownies, which tasted like the Cosmic brownies you can buy in the package at the grocery store. We couldn't eat them. And the lemon bars also tasted like generic lemon bars that were gelatinous, with an inedible crust. It is clear what this bakery excels at. Their cookies are amazing, but they fell short on the rest. read more

We had barbs cupcakes catered to work today. Before I knew where the cupcakes were from, I ate a Boston cream one. Wow it was so good! I was raving about the cupcakes and asked where they from, of course it was barbs! The frosting was a chocolate ganache, cream filled, great flavored cake, moist. So good!! My sister has ordered from them in the past, and the items I get from AJs bakery that I enjoy are from barbs. I took a couple cupcakes to go to have today with my sister. read more

Came to this bakery because I was craving cupcakes, and the reviews are so high. Service was okay, nothing special. But the cupcakes were just gross. The cake was dry and tasted like artificial chemicals, the frosting tasted straight out of a grocery store can. I paid $18 for 6 cupcakes and tried a bite of each, then tossed them. Pretty disappointed to have paid so much for cupcakes I could have gotten at Fry's. read more

We've been coming to Barbs for several years and no one in the valley quite compares to Barbs. We drive 45 minutes one way to come here. Purchased a beautiful chocolate cake with raspberry filling for Christmas. Delicious! read more

I am obsessed with Barb's Bakery!! They made the cupcakes for my baby shower, cookies for a friend's wedding shower, and most recently, we purchased a super authentic King's Cake from them to celebrate Mardi Gras! Their baked good are absolute perfection, they team is always friendly, and to say that we're satisfied each time we go is a understatement. It's more like blown away! I'm not usually a huge fan of King's Cake but my father-in-law's birthday fell on Mardi Gras this year, so we got one for the fun of it. You guys, I really enjoyed this one!! Plan ahead and order one next year, you won't be disappointed! They even let you choose your filling. We went with raspberry and it was delish! Anyways, place your custom bakery orders with Barb's--you'll come back time and time again! read more

I pass this place almost daily on my way to work. A few months ago I finally stopped and I'm glad I did. Their pastries are delicious. Last time I noticed they have ham and cheese croissants and today I stopped for one. They were out so I got a spinach and feta croissant and it was very good. Of course I also got a chocolate eclair, because it's one of my favorites. I would definitely recommend checking out this place if you want something sweet. They have a big selection and the customer service is always good. read more

The fritter... This is the best fritter in America and although my fat butt is supposed to be avoiding sweets...I couldn't resist! The display case always brightens my day with the amazing colors and shapes! Cupcakes, donuts, cookies, and cakes adorned the shelves. If this is wrong... I don't wanna be right. I'm addition to the fritter...I grabbed a lemon bar, some peanut butter cookies, and a magic bar. All utterly spectacular! read more

This review is to show the unprofessionalism and lack of responsibility by management and ownership for a cake we received for our engagement party on 12/20/19. The cake was simple, we provided them a picture and they said yes we can do it. Two tiers, all white with our initials on the top. Couldn't be any easier. They charged us $350 for the cake and $50 delivery charge. Before I wrote this review I did attempt to email the shop but received no reply. The cake tasted good and the bottom part of the cake was good. Unfortunately the top was not. The unprofessionalism and lack of care for small details was surprising from such a well known bakery. I have attached pictures of the review to show. Both the example and what was done. If you can't do it just say you can't. It was very embarrassing to have a cake with initials that looked like they were drawn by a toddler. I expected 5 star work for $400.... read more

My work always gets cupcakes from Barb's for their birthday celebrations so that's how I came to find this place. Decided to have a cupcake cake done for my daughter's birthday and it was to die! Not only was it so cute, the cupcakes here are delicious. We got a variety of carrot, vanilla, chocolate, and pink champagne cupcakes. My daughter is obsessed with pink and purple so they did pink delicious fluffy icing with purple flowers and the cutest tiara and wand. She couldn't have been happier and our guests raved on the flavor. Ordering was easy online but make sure you give them a call to confirm and pay! Packaged perfectly and overall perfect in all ways. Definitely a Barb's fan for life! read more
