In Aspinwall, off of Rt. 28, Bella Christies is a beautiful bakery and cafe filled with lovely treats and they make really beautiful and wonderfully unique cakes and desserts. When I walked in the treats were laid out beautifully, as usual, and it just seemed so good. There is a table inside that seats four if you want to enjoy your treat there. I ordered my vegan treats and asked if there was anything else vegan today and she advised it would have to be ordered in advance. It's ok, the oatmeal sandwich cookie is devine and I'm going to enjoy it. I bought two by the way, and if you're in the neighborhood there are also nearby restaurants and bars to enjoy!

This review is for the amazing and outstanding cake that Belle Christie's made for us. I wanted it to represent my dad more than his retirement, so I chose a vintage record player with the Beatles Abbey Road album. My expectations were exceeded. I was nervous when I saw how beautiful the cake was, that it wouldn't taste good too, but luckily, it tasted as good as it looked. I ordered a white cake with raspberry mousse filling. The icing was smooth and creamy and not too sweet and the raspberry mousse really made it special. The first thing my dad noticed was the Beatles record. He was so impressed. I received so many compliments. I highly recommend!

I ordered a cake for my 25th anniversary. We had our wedding cake from them years ago so I thought…read moreit would be nice since they are still in business. The cake looked great when we got it, however, after we took it out of the box the icing on the side began to run and expose the cake. Then when we cut into it the top layer began to shift because of the gel filling and the cake basically just fell apart. In my opinion there was way too much filling in it. Also, the buttercream was not very thick or sweet like other buttercreams I'm used to. I sent them a note on Facebook Messenger and instead of apologizing they just doubled down that they didn't do anything wrong and said that the cake probably got too warm. It was very disappointing to say the least.

Everyone at the restaurant was craning their necks to get a look at the cake (and hoped for an offer of a slice). The cake was moist, generous raspberry filling, and not overly sweet icing. Yum!

Unassuming from the outside, it is a small bakery with plenty to offer in the form of homemade baked goods, as well as some candy thrown in for good measure.

The baker was a bit rearranged from the movie - no big deal - and the service was super friendly and answered our questions on when they came to tape for the movie. It was a fun stop and their baked goods are truly delicious.

As you may know, part of the movie was filmed in Ambridge and this bakery is used in one of the scenes. The main characters visit this bakery and have a Swedish eclair, or Semlor. I was hosting our book club this week and thought it would be fun to pick up some semlors for our treat. I called the day before (not realizing they are closed Sunday-Tuesday) to place an order for 18 semlors. They said it would be no problem to make them for me, even though I only gave them just over 24 hours notice. The bakery was beautifully painted back to how it was originally when it opened many many years ago. There is limited seating (only one small table and two chairs) so it's not really meant to be an eat-in bakery. The semlors were a hit with book club! Everyone enjoyed them quite a bit. They did seem to be a little dry to me. Not sure if we got "day old" semlors or they were just drier than I would have guessed. The filling was delicious and plentiful. Would love to come back and try some other items they have--the giant cookies look so yummy!

It also sells other foods such as breakfast sandwiches, coffees, and dog cookies. My husband and I shopped in this bakery one time. An employee immediately and kindly greeted us. It was a late morning on a Saturday, and the display cases were mostly stocked with baked goods. Unfortunately, the display cases had no signs to indicate what the baked goods were, so I felt unsure of what some of them were. I recommend that the bakery add signs with the names of the baked goods. I chose a cookie (5 stars) and a bear claw (4.5 stars). The total price was a few dollars including a tip. I have no idea what exact flavors they were! Perhaps I should have asked the employee. But they tasted great! If you want to eat here, some indoor tables and chairs were available.

Their homemade pretzels bread is out of this world. Exterior texture doesn't need a pull like pretzel, has the taste of one of the best orals ever and soft in the middle. The meat is also from the local butcher. No store no bought shit. Call ahead for these. They sell out FAST The donuts were all amazing. When you have aesthetic, crazy ones like this they tend to lose a flavor profile and just become overbearingly sweet. None of that happened here. We had the creme brulee, cookie dough, peanut butter cup and maple bacon. I hate maple bacon, that one was the best I've ever had and HOT HONEY on top. Brilliant The street tarts. I have been talking to Megan for about 2 months with these and she has made endless flavors. We had the brookie, carrot cake and biscoff cookie. She's made cosmic brownie, s'mores, cherry cheesecake, blueberry, apple pie etc. Just go and get whatever they have. It's going to rock your world Pumpkin cinnamon roll, insane. Not overpowering pumpkin, super moist middle and not hiding a shitty roll with an unnecessary amount of icing Just the chocolate cookies are even amazing. I don't even like them like that but would destroy a box of these If had to pick a favo it was the last thing I'd guess. The pretzel maple rod. I bit into it and was baffled. Never would I imagine that tasting the way it did. The perfect consistency of pretzel, just enough flavor to know it was that and not overbearing sweet maple I drove 40 min for this and would every single day. Put this at the top of your list now

Such a fun, hands on experience getting to see Kyle in action and the amount of hard work that goes into every order. I loved hearing his stories about his childhood and his family influences. Kyle is only 31 and has owned his business for over 7 years! That's impressive. You can really see the passion behind his baking. He works incredibly hard and even sacrifices a lot of his social life to keep growing his business, perfecting his craft, and supporting his community. Small business, big story! definitely a spot worth supporting in Pittsburgh!!!!! Thank you Kyle & Lisa
