Kretchmar's Bakery is family-owned and has been open for over 65 years.

Local delivery is available for a fee. My husband and I shopped here one time. Employees immediately and kindly served us. Many baked goods in the display cases looked tempting, so I needed time to make up my mind about what I wanted to buy! I chose baklava (4 stars, thick layer of nuts), lady lock (4 stars, not quite as good as my mom-in-law's), apricot sourcream (4 stars), snickerdoodle cookie (4.5 stars), and Very Berry Napoleon (5, nicely fruity and sweet). The total price for these five baked goods was $10.46.

Dough Co does it right. Guys, you can taste the from-scratch ingredients and the fresh-from-the-fryer glow in the dough. We got an assortment of cream sticks (Long Johns, torpedos depending on your vernacular) and I didn't even know that many variations existed. They were heavy and light at the same time--the masterful medley of perfectly-balanced dough filled to the gills with rich cream. A swipe of frosting on top made my life. My fingers are trembling as I write this. It's a combination of post-coital sugar shock and delight from having a real donut for the first time in a long time. If you're in the Dover area, this place is a must-see on your list.

The…read moreday we went to pick up the cupcakes there was a sign on the door that stated they were closed for the day except for preordered items (our cupcakes).

No cupcakes and my friend could not get a hold of them to get her money back or the cupcakes. Horrible way to run a business

They have a good selection of breads including loaves, focaccias and rolls. The pastries are very nice, with croissants, danishes, cookies and scones. There is also a cooler with ready to bake quiches and pizzas. Service is nice and casual, although the service area is compact but they keep things moving. I also appreciate there is a rack with half priced day old breads. When you have really high quality bread you can still enjoy it a day later. Quite a surprise to find such a nice bread bakery in a somewhat out of the way place. If you are in the area well worth a stop to enjoy some great baked goods and stock up.

I moved back to the Akron area a couple years ago and love making the 20 minute trek to this fabulous place. First, the selection is incredible. Next, the quality is next level! The grains + flour + ingredients they use... and the resulting goodies. But somehow the place is unpretentious + fairly priced. Some of my favorite things so far: the buns (are you thinking "how good can buns be?" Well, you are going to find out), the oatmeal raisin bread (a dream, a balance of hearty + earthy + sweet... toasted MYGOD), the cheese stick (funky chewy bliss), and the dark chocolate spelt cookie. Can't wait to try everything else. Clapping + cheering for the bakers + proprietors, Amy
