Classic Bakery with all the traditional favorites done right. Great, friendly service with a smile.

I could go into details but not worthy, stale, dry, overpriced, bad customer service.

On our first visit to Bing's, Allie served us with patience and great recommendations. We went back and waited to have Allie help us again with our choices. Great bakery and service! read more

I ordered a vast assortment of pastries for my daughter's bridal shower and I was so pleased with how everything looked and tasted. Delicious, fresh and beautifully decorated. Everyone was so impressed with the selection. Prices are great too, much cheaper than my local area. Thank you so much for helping make this special occasion more memorable.

I love Bing's!!! The original owners sold out but it's still just as good. The items are the same, just a different staff. They are still very friendly and upbeat. I love their 'Athelos.' When I was in the military, my boyfriend would buy a dozen and bring them to me 1,300 miles away. Who needs flowers when you can have these babies? My favorite, so delicious. read more

Great chocolate chip cannoli! Pumpkin pie and apple pie are also very nice! Get a large one of you have a few friends over. Small one is more like an individual's size and large is similar to regular size on the grocery stores. Customer service was ok, needs improvement but deserts are amazing! read more

I love Bing's! It is a real traditional bakery. It is a scratch bakery with a traditional menu. The cupcakes are always fresh. They have a great cake selection. The butter cookies are always perfect. They do special orders, have Italian pastry, bread, donuts and so much more! They are not over priced. Enjoy! read more

Hands down best experience I've had! When you're getting married, everything is a rush and your brain is a mess, but when my husband and I walked into Bing's and met with Norma for our consultation, there was this air of trust and professionalism immediately, and she sat with us for a long time discussing options and answering questions and really helping us out. It's so nice to not have to worry about every single thing. It was no problem at all to get three totally unique tiers of our 3 tier cake. I brought a picture, too, and our cake turned out identical, if not better than what I had brought. They really made everything easy and was so so well done. I will without a doubt continue to use Bing's for all of my special occasion cake needs! Thank you! read more

Still gave this place a try despite the reviews. Ordered a 1/4 sheet carrot cake for my parents anniversary this past Saturday. The cake itself was beautiful and good, but when we went to cut it, the whole thing crumbled. Could not get decent slices nothing but crumbs. I called the bakery first thing today and told them about my experience. Had to call back 5 hrs later after being told a manager would return my call. The manager then went to explain it was the type of knife I used which makes no sense, no matter what kind of knife was used no cake should fall apart the way my carrot cake did. She asked if I could bring a piece in to show the head baker thank God I saved a piece of the cake. I brought it in the store and showed them pictures of the cut cake. They were understanding and gave me a full refund for the cake. I appreciate them giving me a full refund and am giving them 3 stars because it was actually really delicious besides it falling apart into crumbs. Not sure if I would use them again for special event cakes. read more

From the minute we met with Norma at Bing's Bakery who has such an out going, fun, energetic personality while being truly professional we knew we had made the right decision by selecting Delaware's oldest and best bakery to do our wedding cake! We are beyond happy with how amazing our wedding cake turned out not only was it unique and absolutely beautiful it was delicious! Our guests couldn't stop at one slice they had to try each flavor :) read more

Customer service is excellent! I walked in looking to get ideas for my daughters bridal shower cake without an appointment. Immediately, staff was extremely attentive. With only minutes before closing, wedding cake consultant and owner, Carla Guzzi, helped me with design of my cake and went out of her way to provide me with a distinct taste-testing experience, leading to the purchased of my beautiful bridal shower cake. I highly recommend Bing's Bakery to anyone hosting a special event. Honestly, I was just so impressed! read more

You seriously cannot go wrong at Bing's Bakery, especially if you are a Newark native like myself. If you have the largest or even the slightest of sweet tooth they will have something to satisfy your every need of your cravings...cakes, cookies, pies, cupcakes, you name they have it. Every experience I have had as been wonderful from the second I walked in the door to the second I left, and trust me I am a regular. They have extremely friendly, educated, and helpful workers that can pinpoint what type of cake/pastry/dessert you are looking for in seconds and they design beautiful cakes too. Everything is always great from tomato pie (my personal favorite) to their chocolate glacés...and if you do not know what a glacé is you should definitely stop by and try one out. I recommend Bing's to all. read more

Bought daughter's first cupcake, many birthday cakes, and found my favorite cherry amazingly delicous heavenly goodness if only I remembered the name..I call it addicting. read more

We used Bings for our wedding cake and cupcakes and they were fabulous! Great to work with and everything was delicious!

I love bakeries. I really do. I might be spoiled because of all the great bakeries in New York, but I think Bing's Bakery is mediocre at best. The cookies taste dry and overly sweetened and the cupcakes and cake slices leave a weird aftertaste in my mouth. I can honestly make better baked goods from a Duncan Hines box. Pass. read more

My finacé and i went to bings to get a cake for our wedding. The cake samples were OK. The basics, chocolate and vanilla were fine, but the other flavor types were too dry. However, our complaints come in with the service. During our consultation, I showed the "baker" some pictures I pulled off of the internet, and in a very condescending and rude tone she says to me "Do you think your are on the cake boss?". I was appalled, but yet the appointment continued, and she showed me some cakes that she "might" be able to do. We left the bakery and she said she would call within a week with pricing information. HOWEVER, she NEVER called back, not event to tell me that they wouldn't be able to bake the cake. I thought that was extremely unprofessional. I took my SAME EXACT picture from the internet to another bakery called Sweets to You by Gingers Inc, in Wilmington, and they are going to make my wedding cake exactly how I want it. Short story long, I will never be going back to Bings! I didn't even want to give it the one star, but yelp forced me too ! read more

My favorite bakery! A bit pricy but I guess when u love the place you gotta pay the price.... so I will be paying the price because I LOVE THIS BAKERY!!! read more

Exceptional! I asked Bings to make a birthday cake for my husbands big birthday bash. He is a huge Dallas Cowboy fan and I sent them a pic of a Dallas jersey with my husbands age and last name on the back like a true jersey. They told me the fondant would be a lot more than I was willing to pay but said they could do it in buttercream for half the price (the cake was for 60 ppl) I agree and when I picked it up I was shocked. It looked better than the pic I sent them. It tasted AMAZING! It was vanilla cake with chocolate filling. Everyone was taking pics of the cake and asking where I got it. Go with Bings, they are faboosh! :) read more

Mmmmm, I question some of these bad reviews. I have gone to Bings over the last couple of years since it was sold to the new owners. I have had nothing but quality bakery items from them. The cakes and cookies are outstanding, the quality is fresh and they continue to introduce new items. When in town, I always stop by for my Bings Bakery fix. read more

so so , not that great. tried cookies, cakes, not sure how others felt so much about it. i am not happy. i wish delaware have those great restaurants we see NY city may be in the future may be not read more

Bing's did a fantastic job making our daughter's first birthday cake. We took a picture of a two tiered fondant cake and they were able to create it exactly like we wanted for a reasonable price. They even made a matching "smash" cake for a very low price. read more

I ordered a strawberry short cake from Bing's the other day and it was very disappointing. It was beautifully decorated but the filling tasted like the strawberry goo that you get at the grocery store and left a chemical taste. The whipped cream had no flavor and the cake was just OK. I have had better from the grocery store for half the cost. I called Bing's and was asked to bring the cake it to see Norma. Norma did not want to hear what i thought and she did not care to make it right. All I wanted was to exchange for another cake since I have heard that Bing's cakes are good. Maybe just the strawberry shortcake is not so I was willing to exchange it and give them another chance. Without even discussing anything Norma said they will give me half of my money back so she opened the register and handed me $12.25. I was shocked that she didn't even offer me the full amount since I brought her 3/4 of the cake back. It was evident that Norma did not care to make it right and keep a customer. In this day in age when times are tough you would have thought she would make customer service a priority. I would NEVER treat my customers like that, especially knowing that this was my first experience there. I will NEVER go back again and I will make sure my friends wont either. read more

Ordered cakes from there for birthday and they have been delicious! Had marble cake and red velvet and people loved and raved about both. They are not super sweet and they are always moist! read more

My grandmother, Alice Barrett, was Bing's very first employee when they opened and our family has been enjoying them ever since! We will sometimes have "unbirthdays" so we can order a cake, haha. Our special occasions wouldn't be the same without Bing's :-) read more

My friends raved about the cakes from here, so I decided to try it. I bought a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting for my youngest son's birthday. I didn't mind the price ($25) since I usually pay $20 for a cake from South Philly & I was saving myself a trip. The cake design was really nice. I was hoping that the cake tasted as good as it looked. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. My older son & niece didn't like it either. They are 4 year olds, who love cake & always ask for more. I was surprised that they didn't even finish their slices. I tried another slice a couple hours later to see if I'd change my mind. It was the same result. The cake was very dry. The icing was just okay. It didn't taste like good buttercream icing. The other items in their display cases didn't look very appetizing to me, so I didn't buy anything else. The older woman, who assisted me, was very nice. read more

I recently viewed a recording of TLC's Buddy's Bakery Rescue; I decided to take my son to Bing's Bakery to check it out! Was impressed with the new look, but not as much so with the staff! There is absolutely no enthusiastic joy there, sadly to say. I asked for a small cappuccino and I got coffee. I also did try one of the chocolate cake rolls for $1.00; That I was impressed! I only wish that the service was that good! So I'd come back for the goods, but you got to make your employees smile more! I'll be back! FYI, you all need to put a price on your goods! :) read more

Purchased one of their "torts" for a birthday. The one with the frosting mushrooms on top. Horrible doesn't come close to how bad it was. Tasteless. Cake had no taste and the frosting tasted like Crisco; "buttercream" my foot! In between the four layers was the thinnest layer of frosting possible. Cake was so bad my granddaughters didn't even eat it. Being 5 and 2 you'd think they would eat the frosting but they didn't even like that! I've had better cakes from Walmart! This awful creation from Bing's was $25.00 for a small cake that ended up in the trash! read more

Our daughter's birthday cake was light and delicious. Almond cookies were moist and very dangerous because I couldn't stop eating them.

Bing's is a great bakery. If you want scratch made cupcakes and cakes, this is your place. My husband and I had Bing's make our small wedding cake and it was delicious. The cannolis are to die for. The service is great and the employees are friendly. Whenever I think of baked goods, I just go and get it from Bing's. Thanks for being in Newark, Delaware. read more

I love Bing's, they make going on a diet difficult. I love the pecan pie and pumpkin pie. They do great custom orders. I ordered cookies for a dance and the kids loved them. They have great Italian pastries! read more

I recently ordered a rum cake for my Italian Aunt's 99th birthday. Being from NYC and used to wonderful rum cakes, I had intended to go to Isgro's in South Philadelphia for a cake, but unable to do that, I thought I had to settle for a local rum cake at Bing's Bakery in Newark, DE. What a surprise!! This was the most wonderful and beautiful rum cake I have had and I have had many...very tall, full of delicious vanilla and chocolate custard, and so much wonderful rum soaked sponge cake. The whipped cream icing and almond decoration was as good as any or even better than NYC! The bakery is a wonderful gem in Newark, DE read more

Not sure where any negative reviews come from, but I am also originally from NYC and Bings comes the closest to matching the quality that I grew up with. The creme fillings are absolutely fantastic and the flakey crust on the pastries is just about perfect. It is very obvious that they use old time recipes, because the flavors are always bringing me back to my childhood. You can not go wrong here!!!!! read more

I ordered a 3-tier cake for my parent's 50th anniversary. The staff at Bing's was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. The cake was delivered on time and was so beautiful we didn't want to make the first cut. Even better, it was just as delicious as it was attractive. The cake was moist and the frosting was superb! I will definitely order from Bing's again. read more

Never go to this place! I had my graduation party this past weekend at which we had a full sheet cake, paid $100 for a chocolate chip cake with cake icing and some words written in blue icing. At my party this past Saturday we cut into the cake to find that they had given us a vanilla cake... So my mother stopped what she was doing and called the bakery immediately! She explained the situation very calmly and they then proceeded to tell her that she needed to prove this by sending a picture of the cake via email. They got off the phone with her and I immediately took a picture of the cake and sent it to their email. She then called them back and they then proceeded to tell her that they couldn't find the order form for the cake that we had just picked up THE DAY BEFORE! At this point they put her on hold for thirty minutes(keep in mind the party is still going on) and after thirty minutes she decided to hang up and call back, to which she found out that they had closed and they just decided to leave her on the line. Since they were closed the following two days she decided to call back AGAIN today, three days after the party. Where they finally told her she will only be receiving $25 back, for a mistake that they blamed her for. We ordered the cake in person and very clearly stated what we wanted done. Tell me how that is our mistake! Bing Bakery does not deserve your money nor your time. I am highly, HIGHLY disappointed with this establishment and I promise you I will never ever purchase anything from this place again and I will certainly NEVER recommend this place. PS the cake isn't even that good, don't waste your time or money read more

Love this place always smells so good when you walk in the variety of desserts is amazing

Today is a sad day. I grew up going to Bing's for treats, my favorite has always been the buttercream fancy. Today I was back in Newark visiting family and I stopped by Bing's. I bought a buttercream fancy. The original version has layers of white cake with buttercream and jam In between the layers. Real raspberry and apricot jam, real butter and the whole thing is robed in a thick layer of marzipan. Truly delicious. The current version had dunkin donuts quality jelly instead of jam, the buttercream did not taste like butter, and the marzipan was a bizarre electric pink, very small and thin, and only sat on the top of the little cake, instead of covering the sides as it should. I took a couple of bites but couldn't finish. It was horrible. I also tried an almond puff that was greasy and heavy, instead of light and airy, and a chocolate glacé that was a disappointment. This visit to Bing's made me so sad. I remember little Mrs. Bing puttering around the back office. She was such a sweet lady and she ran a tight ship in terms of quality control. I understand that it is very hard to make a profit with a small business like this and so I sympathize with the new(er) owners. But unfortunately I will not be returning. They may have cut costs on my buttercream fancy but they have lost a long time customer for good. I will instead prefer to remember Bing's the way it used to be run, back in the old days. read more

rude It was 4 minutes till closing time they would not let me in bakery bing's bakery your not that good to be rude to people!
