I ordered a birthday cake for my mother's birthday from bangs have not had a cake from them in many years, used to get the cakes from cannons bakery but they have not been up to par,. Have been stale and just not fresh so I decided to go to Binks it was the best cake that I've had in a very long long time it was a chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse with a chocolate buttercream frosting I do highly recommend that cake and the cupcakes are very good as well read more

I just picked up my pre-ordered cake and cupcakes! The order was right, the service provided by the guy was great and I was in and out within 10 mins read more

I'd give this place ten stars if I could! The staff is always nice and friendly. The treats are delicious! I love their lemon meringue pie! And their cupcakes are to die for! Keep up the good work Bings! read more

I want to like bings so bad, but it's so challenging to like them. As a college student, this place is over priced. It feels like there are just too many things going on here and they are too busy making quantity, not quality. The french macaroons I got were crushed on spots and broken in addition to being overpriced for the size. There were cakes pushed up against the glass, which was gross! The quality just seems poor. The taste is there with some things for sure, but this bakery clearly doesn't have a clear focus. read more

After a bad experience last year they have redeemed themselves. Beautiful and delicious cake!

I think a few of the reviews are from people that grew up with Bing's Bakery and wished the taste stayed the same. As I'm a newcomer, I can only judge what it currently is. I love the cakes, the cookies and the many options. I do wish the employees smiled more, it's like don't seem to enjoy working there, but I can excuse it because they are helpful. Lastly, I don't mind the pricing, it feels right on the mark for quality goods. If I wanted something sweet, I could just go to Dunkin Donuts. But if you want something tasty, Bing's Bakery is a place to go! read more

Our history with Bing's goes back to 1973. Four generations of our family have enjoyed this bakery. We've had their wedding cakes, pastries, cookies, birthday cakes. Over the years we've had it all. We loved it all, too. We've since all moved from the Wilmington area--I am closest to Bing's living north of Philadelphia, but it remains a special family memory. Over the years, we'd even fly out to visit family in California with a box of Bing's pastries in tow for Christmas or Thanksgiving. In preparation for a visit from out-of-town family, I recently made the trip to this family favorite to stoke the memories--only to find it is a pale ghost of what it once was. We loved the various mille-feuille pastries--particularly the raspberry strips. It was a light, airy, visually beautiful confection with a real raspberry flavor (you could once see the raspberry seeds in the filling). What passes for a raspberry strip is now a heavy and greasy with a red gel filling that doesn't even remotely taste of raspberry. The almond filled pastry was also a disappointment. Many of the old standbys are gone, too. You stopped making the melt away? The cinnamon puff pastry has also been discontinued. Sorry, Bing's but a 44-year love affair and tradition is over. I imagine this happened after the Bing family sold the business. You really have lost the vision of that great bakery. read more

So from everything I had heard I was excited to buy something from Bing's and ordered a chocolate cake from Bing's, picked it up and served it that day. It was okay just okay and they wanted thirty dollars for it. I would never go back there for a cake. I really think you can do better at home with a box mix. read more

Newark has one and only one bakery, Bings. That, and little/no exposure to real bakery delectable is the only explanation I have for the 5 stars given by other reviewers. European style baked goods.... NOT!! I am disappointed every time, unless I stop in for something mundane like a cookie . Yesterday I stopped in and saw what Bings calls a 'Linzer Tart'. A REAL linzer tart is an Austrian confection made with an almond based crust and a raspberry filling . Bing's version was a soft sandwich cookie with raspberry jam filling and nothing almond within ten miles of the bakery. Calling this a linzer tart at the exorbitant price of $2.50 was at the very least deceptive. This soft cookie was showered with white powdered sugar and the traditional thimble size cutout on the top cookie but this soft raspberry jam filled cookie was definitely NO linzer tart. I cannot wait for a European baker to bring his/her expertise to Newark. If/when this happens, Newark will never be the same. read more

My brother and mom ordered a cake for my nephew's birthday. We ordered a pirate cake for his party, supposed to be 1/3 sand dune and the rest water with no border. They didn't listen and when I brought it home it to find out it had a huge red border, and was 1/8 sand sprinkled. It tasted good but however it was not decorated to my expectations. The baker just decided to do what she wanted. Disappointed. read more

They need Buddy to come back and offer some more advice. First off, buy some bags so that your customers don't walk out the door with boxes in their hands. Putting "Bing's Bakery" on the box would be a good thing to market your bakery. Customer service is not good and get some more variety of baked goods. read more

My family favorite for cakes. For me I love their lobster tails and hamestashen. I went in again today and as always received wonderful service from Pat. She always has a smile and is willing to answer questions. So updating this for a few reasons. Last visit I was overcharged and 2 of the last 3 cakes we got here had the names spelled wrong after they were told how to spell it. Hope they improve and get more like they used to be. read more

Bing's was my family's go-to bakery when I was little, and I'd really love to post a better review. Sadly, the bakery I remember has been sold. It happens. Bakery products are just fine. I found everything to be overly sweet. Their cupcakes fall victim to the typical way-too-much frosting treatment, and the underlying cake is nothing to rave about. However, the real problem here is service: they are convinced that the customer is pretty much always wrong. Bing's is a contracted baker with our wedding venue, and we stopped in for a tasting. Everything was just OK. The cake samples were dry, but we thought that maybe they had been sitting for a little while before we arrived (which, in hindsight, is really no excuse when you're SELLING WEDDING CAKES). But, given my sentimental memories of the yummy, perfect birthday cakes of my childhood, we decided to order a small cake as a trial run. It was the best mistake we ever made. Oh, what awaited us. Dry, stale-tasting cake. There is no way this was freshly made to order, and if it was, they should get out of the baking business. Immediately. We were expecting a jam-type raspberry filling, but we got that unappetizing, cheap gel donut filling with nary a raspberry in sight, but loads of chemical/fake flavoring. The icing (which was that cheap sugary junk, NOT the buttercream we ordered) decoration was sloppy and obviously rushed. The overall effect was mediocre at best, and decidedly NOT up to wedding standards. Had this hot mess shown up on our cake table, I would have been appalled, then furious. When I called to give them feedback and hopefully right the ship, no one - and ESPECIALLY not the wedding cake coordinator - really wanted to hear it. I don't think they're terribly receptive to constructive feedback. We opted to cancel our order, and went with Cakes by Kim, who produced a beautiful, delicious cake that everyone raved about. read more

My fiancé and I paid Bing's Bakery a visit for cake consulting for our wedding cake in September. The moment we entered the store, we were surprised by how different the shop looked after their visit from Cake Boss. The employee's were very nice and hospitable to get us started on trying the selection of icings, fillings and cakes they had to choose from their wedding cakes. Everything from the samples to the complementary drinks were delicious! The samples were the right amount of sweetness and the cakes were so soft and moist! When we got to meet with Carla about confirming our order for our wedding cake, she showed so much enthusiasm for helping us with our order. Helped us to understand the process for our cake and even showed us some of their lovely designs on their cakes. At the end of our meeting with Carla, we were even surprised when we inquired about our parking voucher, she let us know that they did have free parking behind their bakery and actually helped us out with the parking lot bill. (We had parked all the way across main street because I forgot where the bakery was. Silly me!) Anyone who is looking for a wedding cake order or just stopping in for a sweet treat, you can count on Bing's to give you excellent service and delicious treats! read more

The place is an abomination of a bakery. Sisters graduation party was this weekend and we ordered a chocolate chip cake from Bing. When we cut into the cake and wouldn't you believe it no chocolate chips. We had over 75 people anticipating a delicious a delicious chocolate chip cake and Bing let us down. My mother called to complain and they put her on hold for thirty minutes after telling her they didn't believe her!!! After 30 minutes she hung up and called again to find out that the bakery had closed for the day and they just left her on hold. I have half a mind to seek the owner of this establishment and spit in their face for allowing such lousy customer service. Next party I host I will serve Tasty Cake before I serve Bing. It is now my personal mission to see that this bakery goes out of business. PS the cake was drier than Arizona on a Tuesday. read more

Love the products especially the lamb cake for Easter! Also great is that If the bakery is closed you can buy their cakes at ShopRite. We didn't buy enough so just went to ShopRite today to pick up more cakes for additional family coming to visit. read more

I went in for a wedding cake tasting. a lady sat us down at table with a bunch of cake and icing and walked away. we were confused on what was what. When we asked somebody about the types of cake they seemed annoyed. Same lady came back and to show us pictures of different cakes. She asked what theme our wedding was and before I could answer she respond "Rustic, you seem like a rustic type girl to me" (I HATE RUSTIC). when I told her no she then proceeded to point out rustic theme cakes to me. we left and went to masters bakery read more

Went in and waited second in line for 15 minutes while five college-aged girls giggled in the back and one poor younger guy was helping the customers out front. Walked out because no one should have to wait that long for someone to pull out ready-made pastries from a cooler and put them in a box. Classy as always since the ownership change, Bing's... read more

All the pastries and desserts they make are great. It's easily the best bakery in Delaware. The only place that comes close is Serpe's but they're knocked out of the competition solely on account of their disgusting tomato "pizza" (which is literally just tomato sauce on white dough... Yeah it doesn't sound good and it isn't good). The only problem I have with Bing's is that the workers are a little snippy with you and they try to make you use cash on orders less than 5 dollars. Also, right when you walk in, they immediately ask you what you want to order. I'm like, "Lady I just walked into your delicious bakery and there are over 400 different options that I have to choose from, give me some damn time!" I like Bing's desserts, and I love the location, and the history they have. I have no idea if this is true, but they have to be Newark's oldest standing bakery. If you have a sweet tooth, skip Dunkin and head over to Bing's. read more

I have been going to Bing's since I was a child and I love them! Even before Bakery Rescue they were amazing. Please, please, please try them out!!! read more

Ordered a "cupcake" cake for son's 5th birthday party. Delicious and absolutely stunning! support local businesses. this place is a local landmark for a reason! priced reasonable for an ACTUAL bakery. and better then that OTHER Delaware bakery.... Good service, decent price, high quality... ONLY negative is location, main street Newark is always a disaster, and now with construction its a bit involved.... but worth the drive for the overall experience read more

WHY hasn't anyone told me about this place? It's AMAZING. I went by for the first time today and I loved it. The pastries melt in your mouth, I mean they literally do, and the staff is attentive and helpful! I am hoked for life. read more

I like Bing's. They are a family owned bakery and have satisfied my sweet tooth craving many a times. The eclairs are full of homemade custard and the cannolis have a thick smooth creamy filling that will definitely give you a heart attack. Try their Napoleans - so rich and flaky and full of thick whipped cream frosting. Mmmmm. Decadent. read more

Customer service is fantastic- very helpful! We were very surprised to see how cheap it was for the selection of sweets we ended up with. However, as others have noted, the quality just isn't there. The chocolate covered pretzels were stale and the chocolate was...gummy? The cookies were very dry. The peach layer cake is ridiculously sweet, so sweet we couldn't even finish the small piece. The raspberry spring roll was moist, but didn't have much flavor. Overall, you get what you pay for. read more

On Tuesday of this week, I jumped online to take a look at what kind of cakes I could order for my boyfriend's birthday. I saw two mini ones he would love, so I hurried up and ordered them. In the process of my ordering, I realized that delivery was an option. Having them delivered would be super helpful as I had a ton of people coming over and would likely be running around like a crazy person. I called the shop to make sure delivery was available to my address and she said that it was, I thanked her for her time and completed my order. I put into the notes that I had spoken with someone and she said delivery was possible. I paid for the order and went on about my day, not thinking about it again until after 7 that night when the bakery called. Shoulda been the first red flag. The same girl that I talked to about delivery earlier in the day called and told me I didn't pay for the delivery fee. The website doesn't show a fee, but that's ok, for the convenience I'll pay the 10 bucks. So I gave the girl my card info and thought everything was all good. Boy was I wrong. I get an email on Wednesday that my order is complete. Cool...but why are my cakes that I don't need until Friday evening done Wednesday morning? Then last night, I get home, expect for the cakes to be here at 4 pm as I requested and paid for. No cakes at 4, no cakes at 430, none at 445 so then I begin to worry. I call the bakery, explain I have ordered and paid for delivery to the SAME girl I've been dealing with since the beginning of this whole thing. She said "give me a minute" and proceeds to put me on hold for 10 minutes. Comes back, asks to confirm my address and says someone will be over with the cakes shortly and she's sorry they were really busy because of the holiday and proceeds to hang up. I get that the bakery was busy because of the holiday, if you can't keep up, don't take orders. By this time guests have all arrived for cake and ice cream and I have no cake! Finally cakes arrives over 2 hours late. I wouldn't even answer the door because I knew I'd flip so my boyfriend answered. Whoever brought the cakes blamed it on the girl who answered the phone, said she didn't do what she was supposed to do. I should have listened to the reviews. Never again. I can't believe I'm out 50 bucks for cakes that weren't even fresh and were over two hours late and with no real apology and half assed excuses. read more

Stopped here based on reviews and have been disappointed. Went here three times for a birthday cake. The first time they didn't spell the name correctly on the top. Now desperate, I agreed to have them correct it. They did, but it didn't look as good as it should have. BTW, the name was spelled correctly on the work order. Evidently the person decorating the cake didn't look. The cake was good, so I went back a second time. Guess what. The name wasn't spelled correctly. Again it was corrected, but looked bad. Ok, third and last time. When I picked up the cake, I asked why it was so cold, I was told it was refrigerated, but just baked. When I got it home, it was hard in the middle. Never again. read more

The cookies are stale and the muffins have a horrendous after taste. You are better off going to Dunkin or Central Perk for bake goods.

I'm from New York and ate at slot of bakeries out there and since I been in Delaware I finally found a bakery that is as close as that, I really don't know what some of you people are talking about on here but everything is made from scratch in this bakery and it's as good as it gets..... The best in Delaware... read more

I ordered two pies for Christmas dinner with my family only to realize I received someone else's order right after dinner. It was to late to find a replacement for the pie I already bought and paid for. WARNING check your box or you might be just as disappointed as my whole family and I. Thank you bings for ruining my night! 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

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.

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

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
