I was looking for a place to grab a few things to bring home for friends and family and I came across this spot as I was in the area! Tucked away in a little plaza is this gem and they have a large variety of baked goods and homemade items to choose from. They have breads, bakery, packaged foods/items, and hot lunch foods as well. They also have homemade dog treats which I really enjoyed. With this being my first time, the lady behind the counter was so lovely and helped me pick out a few different items to try as well as informing me of what all the baked goods were. I ended up getting the breakfast danish, an apricot danish, and a cinnamon glazed twirl stick. The bakery danish was interesting as it had a hard boiled egg inside of it and was topped with cheese and bacon. It was delish and it was nice to see something unique as a breakfast option. I felt the cinnamon twist was a bit dry but that could just be the type of bakery item it is. The apricot danish was nice, not sure if their filling is homemade or not but it tasted like most apricot fillings I have had. The bakery was tasty, I would not say I would go out of my way for any of the things that I tried but if I was in the area again I would definitely peak in to see what they have in the case for the day. Regardless, it is a cute place with lots of charm and you can tell the owners and staff genuinely care about their customers. I love supporting smaller businesses, bakeries and cafes so if i am in the area I will for sure come back and definitely try a bread or muffin next time. read more

Can't say enough how much I love this bakery. I already do all my kids and family birthday cakes here, because I love that classic we all know it buttercream frosting from these old school bakeries. But I'm coming on today to finally review, because I just left the store during the Easter Holiday Weekend, and the place is VERY well stocked with many items and themed items to choose from, and the staff was moving efficiently and as nice as ever. Thank You for the Choices! (I love choices) read more

I don't leave reviews often but my Fiancé and I love to find bakeries we've never been too and try them. He is more of a donut guy but I love pastries. This place blew my mind with options and quality. Service was amazing. We got a giant rice crispy treat for my daughters and a cream horn. The star was this random strawberry dessert I seen. It absolutely took my breath away with how amazing it was. I will definitely be back. read more

The people at the Bakery are very friendly and the Bakery products they put out are incredibly good. It's kind of dangerous to go in there because you spend a lot more than you're going to cause everything looks so good. And the taste is excellent fresh bread in the morning around 9 o'clock come out little bit hot they break the bread fresh every day. They got Stromboli's there. They're pretty good. Let's put this way. I've never had anything that I didn't like my favorite bakery read more

Chocolate chip cookie was somewhat soft but also crunchy and unremarkable in flavor. Bread pudding was dry but sweet and had decent vanilla ish flavor. It needed a glaze badly. The date but cupcake had a fantastic homemade legitimate buttercream frosting and the cupcake had excellent moisture and nutty sweet flavor. read more

One of the best bakeries around. Birthday cakes are awesome as is everything else. Highly recommend.

I think this is my new favorite bakery. It has all of the yummy bakery with no super extravagant frilly desserts. A straight up bakery and it was great. We enjoyed the cannoli, ham and cheese roll and meatball roll. We still have danish and cupcakes to devour. read more

Best Italian bread in Cleveland...also calzones and lunch items are terrific. Strawberry pie was last best thing I bought!

this neighborhood bakery is my "go to" for entertaining family and friends. The 40 piece party tray is always a hostess hit. For self-indulgence, they also make the best tea biscuits, sweet rolls, Irish soda bread and pineapple upside down cakes!!!! Always amply supplied with breads and bakery, they staff is just as nice. Appreciate and recommend everything about this business. Thanks to everyone! See you soon for that raspberry tea biscuit! read more

EVERYTHING here is delicious- my favorites include the poppyseed roll & the individual cheese or cherry danish. But I ordered a half sheet date & nut cake for my mom's 93rd birthday & to say it was AMAZING is the understatement- the cream cheese frosting was decadent. Our entire family loved it! Oh & it was very pretty as a bonus! read more

My muffin was rock hard on top and there were no chocolate chips in it. the few that were on the top were rock hard. don't get these muffins

This place has delicious treats and always fresh. Only complaint is that it is very small j side and they insist on setting up tables that limits to the walk in. It's annoying and frustrating and if they are busy there is a line out the door because you literally cannot move inside due to the tables. Best option- go very early in AM or late in afternoon. Downside to both options is selection. Or just go and take your patience. read more

Very disappointed Ordered a cassata cake for a birthday party and I told my husband to make sure he speaks to the owner but he did not want to bother the owner. So, I told him to let the person taking the order know we do not want only jam in between the layers like our past experience and they told him "Oh, we don't do them like that." Yet, this is the 2nd time the Cassata cake came out very disappointing. Two layers of cake with strawberry jam that had little slivers of mashed up preserved strawberries that the owner called their sauce and none of the real sliced up strawberries. There was also some kind of butter cream under the jam. No one could tell what it was, it did not taste or look like custard. The icing on the cake is made of that heavy butter cream and not the light whipped kind. Could have bought this kind of cake from a grocery store. When I picked up the cake I told the person at the counter that I hope it was not like a prior incident with just jam in the cake and they told me to call if it was but when I called and told Janet who answered the call, she asked me, "So, did you eat the cake?" She was more concerned about a possible refund more than a customer who was disappointed about the quality of their product. It was 9pm, we were celebrating a birthday, are we going to find another bakery who makes cassata cakes on Saturday at 9pm? Janet was dismissive and did not try to be understanding. Because she treated me like I was out to scam them out of a cake, I told her I had pictures and she said you need pictures if you want a refund. And all this time I never mentioned anything about a refund. There must be a lot of scammers out there for storekeepers to be like this. Called the owner and he sounded concerned and asked me if I wanted a refund or for him to bake another cake. I told him I am not interested in either. The way I was spoken to already made me feel like I was trying to get a free cake. One of the pictures I have attached, the chocolate cake, was the cassata cake I got and the other pic of the yellow cake with the real sliced up strawberries is a stock photo for comparison. I have gotten Cassata cakes with 2 layers of strawberries so this stock photo is but a representation of a mediocre cake but look at the one I got. I will not be back to this bakery and I warned my husband never to get cakes from here anymore. He said the owner is a really nice guy. I told him to go deer hunting with him then, but, when we want real Cassata cakes we need to go to an Italian bakery. read more

Purchased several trays of pastries for my daughters wedding. They made outstanding recommendations when placing my order. My order was ready at the time I requested. Breads and Beyond had the pastries boxed well and placed them in my car for me. The hall staff plated the pasties on the dessert buffet beautifully. Pastries were very well presented, fresh and delicious. Received rave reviews and comments from wedding guests. You will not be disappointed with Breads and Beyond. read more

Not your Grandmother's Paska! The Easter Paska was disappointing! Misshaped and when I sliced it it fell into crumbs allover my cutting board and was a bit dry in taste. I ended up buying some from a few grocery chains, they were more aesthetically pleasing, better in taste and half the price. Expected much more for fresh baked bread, disappointed! read more

Yum! This bakery is a small bakery but their stuff is good! Good cakes too. Their bread is fresh and delicious read more

Let's face it. We are losing far too many specialty shops to the massive all in one box stores. One shop that is still defying the chains is Breads & Beyond. Fresh baked and decorated cakes, massive chocolate chip cookies and the best Italian bread are just a few reasons to give this bakery a shot. Stop in one morning for Italian bread as soft as a cloud. You'll be glad you did!!!! read more

More employees in the store than customers and still it took 17 minutes to get a coffee to go. And then the coffee tasted funny. Will never return. read more

Hours are 7 am to 6 pm, Tuesday to Saturday, close Sunday at 2, closed Monday. We love their Italian and rye breads. We don't eat a lot of pastry, but a friend recently bought me a cassata cake from here for my birthday and we were disappointed that it wasn't made with whipped cream frosting; the cake was tasty, but I didn't eat much of the frosting. When I go there, there are usually two or three other customers and on Saturday before Easter, the line was out the door. I saw orders waiting in bags numbered over 100! I'd say they have some loyal customers. A few years ago, I bought an apple pie and called the owner to let him know I was absolutely pleased; it was filled with apples and the spices were just right, not like Giant Eagle apple pie, which is mostly f read more

The quality is out of this world. Had their delicious 'cream cake in a pan' today and will plan on getting more. Their hot cross buns are huge, moist and delicious. Their kolachky cookies are excellent and they have the cutest pink, blue and yellow basket weave Easter cakes, truly decorated works of art, small and large round cakes and they also have the more traditional lamb cakes. Their Italian bread is the most authentic I have had in ages, just plain good. We love this place. read more

Wasted $45 at this place during Easter weekend. Bought a poppy roll which was good. The nut roll was another story. Although there were a lot of nuts, the dough in center was raw and wet and not edible. Was a shame since the outside of it looked so good. I was embarrassed to serve to my guests. Also bought butter cookies which were tasteless and crumbled as you tried to pick up. Another embarrassment to my guests. I have purchased breads in the past with great satisfaction. The bakery is another story. VERY DISSATISFIED. read more

VERY UNFRIENDLY WOMEN WORKING THERE Nut Rolls and Poppy Seed Rolls - This place has very good nut rolls, poppy seed rolls and cream cheese pumpkin rolls. The place is very small and they always seem to be out of many things. THEY DON'T BAKE ENOUGH! This bakery could easily be a 4 or 5 star place but not with unfriendly employees and scarce pastries. So, until the owners can do something about the witches that work there, this place gets a 3 star review from me. They are very pricey but are above average in quality. Beware of the unfriendly women that work in this place. read more

Breads & Beyond did a beautiful job on our wedding cake on May 24, 2015. We brought in a photo of a cake we saw at the bridal show and they replicated it perfectly. Bob the baker was great to work with and the cake was delicious. Our rating would have been 5 stars, except the cake was slightly crooked. Also, a couple of the women who work in the bakery could have been friendlier when I called and went into the store. All in all we had a great experience. read more

I have to say that Breads & Beyond in my opinion only makes 3 really good items here. 1st would be the pizza when you just want a slice, 2nd the brownies and 3rd is the big chocolate chip cookies. The Chocolate Chip Cookies are seriously one of the best I've ever had & I am beyond picky when it comes to cookies. I refuse to spend anything outside of those 3 things. Mainly though I really only go to buy the Chocolate Chip Cookies. Everything else just looks blah to me. The area has so many great bakeries around that it's just better to get the ethnic pastries or desserts at places that do them better. read more

Awful awful awful. I just went in to buy some Christmas cookies. I got a whole big shpiel about how they aren't taking any more orders and what they have is all they have. There were just 2 5-lb trays left. Way more cookies than I needed and way more than I wanted to spend, but I seemed to remember getting cookies from there just a year or two ago, and they were excellent, so I said, what the heck? Today is just December 19, and they are done with baking Christmas cookies for the year, or so they said. I am here to tell you that they are the soggiest, blandest cookies I have ever eaten. I can't imagine anyone thinks these are good cookies. They are not even decorated nicely. I could taste flour. They have no flavors at all, just flour. I'm sick at heart that I bought these awful soggy messes. I plan to take them to a church or homeless shelter, but I wouldn't want to subject them to this crap. If anyone wants to take them off my hands, have at it, but don't say I didn't warn you. I am very serious about this review--stay away from this place if you know what's good for you. read more
