    Every time i went to go to try this bakery they were closed! Today was my lucky day! Clean and uniquely furnished. Staff greeted you right when you walked in. Family recipes made with fresh ingredients. I have nothing bad to say about anything we tried. Key lime cupcake, lemon curd and vanilla cake, carrot cake and a brownie. All equally amazing 5/5! Well worth the wait

    Brownie with cookie dough

    Always a great experience! I have been coming her for years. The place is charming and the people are so nice. There is a seating area in the back with chairs and tables to relax or do work. Always a great selection of baked goods that change with the seasons. They offer a drink selection as well

    Nice little outdoor seating area

    The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that it was awkwardly silent. I later realized that there was a speaker near the cash register very quietly playing music but I highly recommend that they turn it up or add more speakers because it's a weird silent vibe. The space is lovely with a huge variety of beautiful baked goods ranging from cookies to brownies to carrot cake to peach turnovers. I ended up having the German chocolate whoopie pie and loved it. The textures worked together perfectly and the cake portion wasn't too sweet but the inside was sweet with big chunks of coconut and pecans(?). Loved every bite. I also had an iced coffee and theirs is pretty meh. Honestly, I probably won't be back but I did enjoy my mid-day dessert!

    Fruit and oat bar

    Just had a near religious experience with a chocolate croissant here today. The coffee is still good. The staff is still very pleasant. A small public restroom in the back is a nice add from the last time I was here. Small sitting room in back gives it a grandma's cottage ambiance. But the star of the show was the chocolate croissant. Not sure how I'm ever going to go back to store bought now. Wish I had taken a picture before I devoured it.

    Mushroom puff

    Fantastic plexiglass separation measures for COVID. Very friendly staff and lots of delicious baked goods. Nary a raisin in sight and the staff agreed raisins don't belong in the oatmeal cookies or carrot cake here which is awesome! The mushroom puff was so deliciously flaky and flavorful- definitely a must-try. Really a gem this place is in little Oberlin. The oatmeal cookie was without raisins which is great. It was sweet, chewy, and deliciously moist. The cornflake cookie was just the right mix of caramel, chewy, crispy, salty, and sweet. The cinnamon sugar donut didn't have the lightly crispy fried outside that makes a donut perfect specimen. It was instead just sort of sweet bread puff that was very unremarkable. The peanut butter cookie sandwich was delightfully nutty and not to sweet (but just enough)! I cannot emphasize enough how perfect their chocolate chip cookie was. It ranks among the top five I've had in my life and that is incredibly impressive. It was ideally sweet yet had notes of bittersweet chocolate. It had a tiny note of salt. It was dense but not too thick- moist but not falling apart. Not crumbly at all. It was just absolutely perfect! I am floored!

    Coffee And Vegan Ham And Cheese

    Another good place for baked goods. Blue Rooster Bakehouse is one of the best places in Oberlin. They open early so you can start the morning off with a coffee and pastry. It's not a big place but it has places to sit inside. The pastries are fresh and there's vegan choices too. I popped in early one morning. I needed a coffee and was hungry, and this was one of the few places open. The inside smelled so good, and it made me even hungrier so I definitely needed a pastry. Coffee here is kind of limited but it was still good. The one flavor they had was about $2 for a medium. As for the pastries they turned out to be even better. They had a few vegan selections. One that made my mouth water was the vegan ham and cheese. This one was about $3, but it was large and stuffed. It was sitting in the cooler. The owner asked if I wanted it warmed up, and that was definitely the right thing. It tasted very good with the melted pretend cheese. There were other vegan pastries that day cupcakes and muffins. It was very good for pastries with no dairy or eggs. It's a good place for doing work or just relaxing. They also have free wifi.

    A must stop in Oberlin! This small bakehouse really packs a wallop with choices and flavors. For the size of the shop you would have no idea that they would have so many pastries to choose from each day. I can never pick just one or two items and usually end up buying a loaded box of goodies. Some of my favorites have been the chocolate bundt cake, chocolate whoopie pie and slices of any of their cakes!

    Inside- so many options!
    Heather S.

    Cutest find! Love the coziness atmosphere of this bakery. My sister and I tried the pesto croissant and brown sugar coffee cake and of course yummy black coffee. Yum!! Hope to come back in the future!

    I went here for the Cupcake Crawl. Unfortunately, when I made it there, there was only 3 left. The main thing the sold was cakes. The flavor I got was carrot cake. I was nervous since there was hardly any icing. It was delicious. There were raisins in the batter. The flavor was just enough, not over powering or sugary. I saw a banana split cake there that looked to die for. So now I wonder how it taste. I will go back to find out. This was my fourth cupcake I tasted and by far the best so far.

    My wife and I finished checking out the Farmers Market (which was tiny and not worth the trip). I was in the mood for a coffee and a pastry. We had noticed the Blue Rooster on prior visits to Oberlin and so decided to give it a try. We were warmly greeted by, who I believe to be, the husband and wife owners. The place is relatively small. There is a counter top running along the wall on the left, which can accommodate a handful of people and two small tables in the main room. There appeared to be another room toward the back as well. The coffee was very good. I order a cherry turnover, which was OK. The pastry itself was good. However, there was a minimal amount of cherry filling. Also, the prices were a little high.

    First time visitor and found the bakery displays to be extremely nice. The atmosphere is cute and homey. I wasn't hungry but my husband got a cherry turnover and a cup of decaf. The coffee was freshly brewed with a mixture of beans and he liked it. The turnover was good but he had hoped for more filling. Prices seemed a bit high to me, but to have a business in a small town, you need to go that route.

    Their baked goods are way too sugary and over priced. And, the owner is not a very pleasant man. Won't go in there again ...

After…read moreadmiring them on social media for so long, my family decided to take the leap and order holiday specialty cakes from The Hive for our dessert. You will be so happy to know these cakes are just as beautiful, maybe more, then they are on Instagram! When we saw the holiday menu online, we knew we had to try it immediately. I love that they have an online ordering system where you are promptly invoiced to submit half of your payment ahead of time, and pay the other half when you arrive to pick up your order. The Studio is super cute with vibrant colors and quirky details that really give the space personality. They have a sweet little coffee bar at the front as well as a bakery case with brownies, cookies, and other house bakery specialties. Our cakes were absolutely fabulous. You can really tell the difference between a cake made with love and a mass-market store-bought cake. The peppermint chocolate cake literally tasted like a boozy York peppermint Patty. The cranberry almond cake had the perfect almond flavor but was not a complete sugar bomb. We all commented on how we loved the icing and attention to detail on both of these cakes. We had such a great experience with them that we came back a few weeks later To purchase a custom birthday cake. Again, they exceeded our expectations and we were thrilled. Wonderful staff, easy ordering and unbeatable cakes in terms of taste and beauty. This cake studio is absolutely worth the drive and you can feel wonderful about supporting local!

    I went here for the Cupcake Crawl…read more The cupcake I got was carrot cake. The design was very elegant. The icing was light but unfortunately a bit much for the cake. It took the flavor away from the cake. There was also a little bit too much of raisins and carrots for the little amount of cake you get. The will have a butter beer cupcake so I will go back to try that. I gave a three star since the service was great and the icing was not bad. They are worth a second try. The lady was very friendly. Be warned that they do close early. We just made it there.

Hometown Bakery serves everything from granola and muffins to cupcakes, ice cream sandwiches, zucchini bread, and everything in-between. We ordered a custom cake for a birthday and it was luxe, delicious and a big hit. Keep in mind, this is a small town, so the owner does not yet have a menu of her custom cakes or accompanying pictures. The ordering process was a little stressful because of this (I appreciate photos because it helps me understand what I'm ordering). Be prepared to be patient if you place a custom order. Hopefully she creates a menu with photos soon! I totally get the vibe that Hometown Bakery might sell out early, so be sure to plan it at the beginning of your day. There's a few tables and chairs inside as well as a small coffee menu. The owner is very talented and takes a lot of pride in her work. I heard they may even offer classes soon, which would be a fabulous addition for the area! The zucchini and pumpkin bread here are absolutely fabulous. Don't overlook this made-with-love bakery!
