Cramer's bakery ruined my wedding for me in terms of my cake. Four hundred dollar cake and a seventy five dollar delivery charge. Kim acted as if she could duplicate my desired cake from a picture she requested. My cake was extremely small. The frosting was hard and cracked upon cutting. The cake was dry and crumbled. Don't let them fool you. Your wedding could be ruined too. I was embarrassed but there is nothing you can do when they bring out your cake and your standing there in front of a room full of people. They have never reached out to be accountable and there was no apology or refund. read more

Cramer Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Yardley, Pennsylvania

Cramer Bakery created a custom cake for my son's 30th birthday celebration that was designed exactly as I requested and was delicious. I was glad that I ordered a bit more than I actually needed for the party, because the family has continued to enjoy it. Kim was a pleasure to work with, helpful and extremely professional. I highly recommend this bakery. Susan G. read more

Omg the Apple Caramel Pie is so delicious. A memory came up on my fb page, where I took the pie to work to share with my co workers and they loved it also. Especially with icecream. My other co worker would bring me a pie back to New York when she would go there. It is on my mind and I'm thinking about taking a drive to Pennsylvania to get a pie or 2 read more

Cramer Bakery - The pie I was describing in my review - Bakeries Near Me - Yardley, Pennsylvania

I ordered a retirement cake for my mom from here. The customer service was excellent. I dealt mostly with Madison and she was extremely helpful. As for the cake, I ordered a vanilla cake with cannoli cream filling and white buttercream icing. The cake was delicious and perfectly moist! It had the perfect crumb and the texture was almost like a pound cake but lighter. The cannoli cream was good and they gave you a nice amount in the center. Whoever did the writing on this cake...WOW! It was the most beautiful handwriting I have ever seen on a cake. Very elegantly done. My biggest complaint and the only reason I did not give them five stars was because the buttercream icing was a little too sweet and I found the texture to be a little grainy. I wanted an Italian meringue buttercream which would have been less sweet and complimented the cake much better since the cannoli cream filling itself is sweet. Unfortunately, they only do American standard buttercream here. If they could tone down the sweetness of their buttercream icing and consider expanding their icings to include Italian, French, and Swiss meringue buttercreams, that would really put them over the top. read more

Cramer Bakery - 9" round cake - Bakeries Near Me - Yardley, Pennsylvania

I have picked up pastries and cakes a few times from Cramer's while visiting family in Yardley, and each time we have been happy with the mini pastries and cake. Most recently we ordered a custom cake for my son's third birthday. The bakers were very responsive when finalizing the design, and added extra birthday flair (sprinkles, side trim) to the cake. My son loved it, as did the rest of us adults in party. We' are looking forward to coming back to try the doughnuts and order more pastries soon! read more

Cramer Bakery is in a small Pennsylvania town called Yardley. They offer a good selection of baked goods, pastries and cakes. They also offer coffee and teas. The shop is small with limited seating. The prices are reasonable and quality is great. If you happen to stop into town, I would definitely give Cramer Bakery a try! read more

Awesome wedding cake! Absolutely gorgeous and delicious! They were willing to make a special funfetti cake for us too! Couldn't have been happier! read more

Cramer Bakery - Wedding cake. Came out exactly like we asked! - Bakeries Near Me - Yardley, Pennsylvania

Very nice shop with extensive selection of tasty baked goods and friendly, helpful staff. The challah and babka are delicious.

Well, walking in here, you get a great smell of the baked goods for the day. Peer back into the bakery itself to check out rows of ovens and trays, fresh with loaves of bread and more. They have a wonderful crumb cake with chocolate swirls, and their donuts are pretty good, too, although I'd stick with the muffins which are probably healthier and almost as good! Almost always have a table up front of specials, too, from pie to yesterday's loaves, if you can get there. read more

Delish NY style coffee cake! Doughnuts were fantastic as well! Get there early for the freshest options.

Their cakes and cupcakes are so delicious and they have such a courteous staff. Best cake I ever tasted! read more

Cramer Bakery - Half chocolate half vanilla cake with buttercream icing - Bakeries Near Me - Yardley, Pennsylvania

I just moved to the area and thought what better time to try Cramers is Fat Tuesday. I was there before 8AM. There were only a couple of people in front of me. One person working. They were out of everything, or could not sell it because orders were still not filled in the back. I was very disappointed. And if the gentleman walking around the place drinking coffee was the owner? Then shame on you for not jumping in to help. First and last time. Sorry. read more

Stay away from this once lauded bakery. The case is full of flies, the goods are usually stale, and god forbid you make a special order even weeks in advance. It wont be ready....it ruined a huge surprise party. They are dismissive and unprofessional. Just awful....could not be worse. read more

Horrible customer service, inquired about cake and got responded to with very bad attitude . No way to run a business

alright, i can get down with cramer bakery. a store full of sweet, fresh carbs, local yardley residents, and decently friendly staff behind the counter... can't go too wrong, amirite? step one: park yo' car. come on pennsylvanians, it's a parking lot- you can do this. no? ugh. the parking lot, while rather large for its location, is usually a hot mess. the bakery shares a parking lot with a CVS, so there are often large 18-wheeler delivery trucks parked ever so inconveniently. for some reason, this gives patrons of the bakery and the pharmacy the idea that they too can park like morons. oy. you'll likely score a spot in the lot, but it might take a bit of patience to maneuver the lot. otherwise, there's street parking. step two: follow yo' nose. you can smell baked goods, and this will make you drool a little. packaged cakes and cookies and breads and (insert all of the carbs here) are available near the entrance. you'll also have time to grab some while waiting in line. most recently, i picked up a honey loaf for rosh hashanah. it looked nice and smelled like my holiday. step three: keep yo' eyes peeled. there are so many treats behind the glass case and counter, you'll need to make more than one trip to try them all. different types of cookies, breads, cakes, doughnuts, muffins... if it's a baked good, they probs have it and/or could make it on request. step four: place yo' order with one of the nice employees behind the counter. they're nice, and will make suggestions if you ask. they'll package up your goods and take your money. a few thoughts about their offerings- the doughnuts are typically fresh (they tend to sell pretty quickly), and they're pretty good. way better than grocery store or chain place donuts, but i've had better. the corn muffins aren't as sweet as most, and they have whole corn kernels inside. the honey loaf was just okay- not as good as a proper jewish bakery in brooklyn, but definitely better than you'd find at a grocery store. step five: try to get yo'self out of the parking lot. good luck with that. step six: devour yo' treats and prepare for a carb coma. zzzZZZZZZZZZ read more

Cramer Bakery - for a sweet new year - Bakeries Near Me - Yardley, Pennsylvania

The caramel apple pie is delicious! Anytime I'm driving through the area, I'll pick one up. Since moving to Hawaii, I can't get anything like it. I found out that online ordering will be available soon. read more

My associate used this bakery for a birthday cake for our boss in our PA office. I was with her when we picked the cake up, so I can say first hand that the service was really friendly. My associate worked with someone named Madison, although I don't remember the name of the woman who helped us during the pick up, but she was very nice. Our cake was on time and looked great. I'm going to try to add a photo later. The cake was pretty good and not overly sweet. read more

I recently ordered an Italian rum cake from Cramer for a party, and it was delicious! The cake was so heavy we needed a crane to lift it. It was supposed to serve 25-30 though now I'm wondering if they meant people. It was enormous! The quality was comparable with the rum cakes that came out of the 'burg's Italian bakeries back in the day, though it could have had just a bit more rum. Cramers continues to impress! read more

Quest for the Holy Doughnut aka Doughnut Quest: Part II We went to Cramer's Bakery in Yardley, PA, and bought the last 2 doughnuts they had--we asked and the best time to get them is 6:30AM, when the store opens (it's not open 24 hours per day, contrary to common belief); generally sold out by noon. One cherry filled powdered doughnut and one cinnamon roll, with a pint of Clover Dairy Farms milk. The milk is VERY rich. The doughnuts, heavy, and not a lot of filling. I guess I'm used to light as a feather doughnuts, which are not common in this part of the country (you're lucky to even find a doughnut shop). The dough used is more like the dense dough one can roll out on a pastry board. The store, however, did smell like a pastry shop ought to. A rich, buttercream scent filled the air, alternating vanilla and deep chocolate. The staff was incredibly friendly, I only wish I liked real pastries. The quest will continue. Located in the same building as CVS in the center of Yardley. read more

So this review is not exactly for the bakery and its day-to-day operations, but for the tremendous job they do for wedding cakes! My wife and I got married a few months back at the Hyatt Regency in Princeton, NJ. The Hyatt has partnered with Cramer's to be their bakery of choice for all wedding cakes. The process for selecting our cake options was very easy and well organized. Kim, the wedding cake coordinator, provided us with a few different cake and frosting tasting options to take home and try. Based on the size of our event, we were going to be given a 5 tier cake, and so up to 5 flavor options. After trying the different options, we decided we wanted to do something a little different, so we Kim if they could put something else together for us to try. Not only was she very accommodating, but she had her bakers whip up a whole entire cake for us to sample! As far as the look of the cake, I let my wife choose something based on their different style options. Finally, we settled on a mix of 2 flavors: Tirimasu with chocolate chip cake and strawberry/vanilla on pound cake. I can say that while neither of us got to have much of our cake the night of our wedding (to busy getting drunk and dancing lol), the cake looked awesome and we were told by many people that it was great! Oh, and since my awesome wife didn't want the cake looking to girlified with flowers and what not, she had them add a little surprise for me: a little figure of spider-man being crushed under the cake! It was really cool, and apparently they had no problem in doing that for us! Just another example of how accommodating the folks at Cramer's can be! read more

Cramer is pretty hit or miss. The buttercream is really tasty and they make a mean doughnut. But you have to get there by 10AM if you expect to find one left. If you are ordering a cake for a party, it is a great option. Do not go there for bread, rolls, and bagels. Not the right place. Bring cash. read more

If you are up and about very early, go to Cramer to get fresh donuts, muffins and scones. Too, if you can order a cake for a special occasion, you will probably be quite satisfied. Otherwise, despite the charm of an old fashioned bakery, and the butternut aroma, the products are inconsistent, and pricey. The bread, bagels, rolls are not worth the trip. There are much stronger options for them only minutes away. To be a worthwhile destination everything must be good, available, and reasonably priced compared to the competition. Cramer is not quite all that. read more

I've popped into Cramer's a few times to see what's on sale, and it was good stuff, usually. I accidentally learned that the baker's are off Mondays, too, so everything left from the weekend is half price, to clear product! I've only lived in Yardley for a year and a half, but it's an old business that constantly has customers in it, and plenty of regulars, too, as far as I can tell. I decided to try ordering a cake for my 2-year-old's 3rd birthday, never having ordered a cake anywhere before in my life. The girl inputting the order was really nice and helpful, and I found the price reasonable, especially after I saw the artistry and tasted the deliciousness of the cake! (Local coupons are easy to find, too.) See my pictures for yourself! I have to say they exceeded my expectations. Also, I must've never been in at morning time, until I picked up the cake. I was overwhelmed by the smell and wide selection of fresh doughnuts! read more

Went there for the first time on Father's day. Picked up a donut, which was decent, scone-ok and a walnut cream pastry-ok as well. I think I'll make the trip to Giant for donuts.... Woman at counter seemed annoyed I asked what a few of the pastries were in the case. That didnt really wasnt a great selling pt. I might be back to give some other pastries a second try but I wont rush back... read more

The cake I ordered for my boyfriends 30th birthday ended up tasting great. The bad part was I ordered it specific asking for a darker blue color and got a lighter blue color. I also asked for the dripping down the sides which they failed to put on there and instead put the dollops on both the top and bottom of the cake. There was also a lump at the top of the cake. For the pickup they emailed and asked me what time and date I would like to pick up the cake. I told them I would be there at 12pm. The cake was not done yet when I got there. It took them an additional 30 minutes to finish the cake. I didn't have time to even let them know about the cake and that they had failed to provide what I wanted since I was in a rush after waiting an additional 30 minutes. This makes me think twice about ordering something again from here. Thankfully I was able to distract from the giant lump in the middle by putting candles and a cake topper on.... read more

Cramer Bakery - Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Yardley, Pennsylvania

This place is a Yardley must-do. It's in a cute location in the same building as the CVS. I went there yesterday on my way back heading north from Morristown to get my friend a cupcake for his birthday. They had a great selection of baked goods, but I opted for the giant cupcakes at only $1.95 each! (cheap!) The girl working there was nice, but right after she helped me she went in the back to chat with her friends. I started to ask her something but she was already gone. I'm pretty sure the bridal shower I was at on Saturday had the petite fours made by this place. So it was just a coincidence I went here the next day. Everyone seemed to enjoy them. There is nothing vegan here for us non-dairy/no egg folks, but for everyone else this place is cute, local, and good for big cakes or a quick bite. read more

I thought about writing a review for Cramer's while getting ready to order my daughters 1st birthday cake! I have been getting birthday cakes here since my son was born (he's almost 5) and they have NEVER disappointed! I have only ever had their cakes so thats all I can speak on but they are always amazing! And their decorator does a great job as well! I'm going to try to post pictures if I can figure it out! read more

I grew up in Yardley and came here all the time, my sister worked here it was just a part of my childhood. Every time I am in the area I swing by to get a danish, turnover, cookie, whatever. Everything is always Delicious. The fact that this place hasn't changed in appearance, quality or even the delectable smell inside in 25+ years is a testament to a place that is doing it right. I can't say I have ever had anything bad here. I am a huge fan of their turnovers and danishes. But the cookies, muffins, cakes are all also outstanding. You just can't go wrong here. read more

I moved to Yardley from Philadelphia. Moved back to Philadelphia just recently. Seems that the people in the subs have no idea what a good bakery is. Anyway, Cramer's pound cake is very good and so is the butter cream icing, but DO NOT, I repeat, DO Not ask for a specific color or decorating. In 14 years, they could not get it right, not once. The prices are crazy high. But if you want peach, you get dark orange. If you want lilac, you get dark purple. It is a joke to our family. Once I asked for all white and still, we got pink and green on the cake! We like the pound cake, but laugh at their lack of listening skills and creativity. This time, I asked for the color, bluegreen. I even said, not blue AND green, bluegreen. I said, you know like green and blue mixed? The person, once again agreed with confidence that the cake would be the color I want, "no problem". Anyway, before picking it up, we all get in our bets to see if Cramer can make a cake to order. Sure enough, we were all right, he could NOT. The cake was the regular blue he puts on all cakes. ITs as powder cake blue as any supermarket cake! And I am telling you, it has been going on for YEARS. Now that I am back in Philadelphia, we get our cakes at really good bakeries. We get a Cramer cake for the joke of it! NO creativity and lack of care! You get what you get and no more! The cake is good though. read more

What a beautiful selection of wonderful homemade delectables. The staff was friendly and I was pleasantly surprised by the low prices. I am happy I don't live in Yardley as I think that I might be tempted to stop by here a little bit too often. read more

Love this bakery! This is a classic, delicious bakery in the old style with all kinds of delicious baked goods and pastry. Don't expect fancy, sophisticated. European baked goods, this is old fashioned American-style baking. The birthday cakes are delicious, don't try to do anything too sophisticated cake flavor-wise. They make DELICIOUS, fresh, made to order cakes for celebrations and have a decorating style all their own which is just wonderful! The walnut, chocolate triangles are out of this world, and I also love their strawberry pies/tartes and they make a delicious chocolate chip cookie cream cake too. We also really appreciate the fact that they have coffee cakes like blueberry crumb cake, apple crumb cake, and banana-nut bread, zucchini bread, etc. Too many of our classic institutions like Cramers are no longer around so I really appreciate and will always support a wonderful institution like this. read more

Growing up on Cramer's goodies, I am definitely a big fan. Whether it be the chocolate eclairs, donuts, big chocolate chip cookies, oversized muffins or delicious cakes you'll be in heaven. Prepare to spend some money, but it is well spent. I always stop at cramer's for some delicious treat to bring to any family event. I also used Cramer's for my wedding cake and not only was it lovely from an aesthetic standpoint, but also delicious and well received from our guests, definitely recommend checking out their wedding cake selections, I was very happy with my choice. read more

Lovely Minecraft cake for my son. Never knew about this place till this week. The vanilla cream cake was yum and tastefully done.

Cramer did our wedding cake and desserts. The desserts were amazing, as were the pastries we ordered from them. I also cannot stop hearing about how good the cake was, where did it come from, it was so moist! People will seriously not stop talking about how much they loved the cake. It really was delicious. But unfortunately I do have to agree with a previous poster who mentioned that the cake wasn't super elegant. It wasn't sharp and the details weren't sharp. It wasn't what I would think a professional wedding cake should look like and that disappointed me. If recreating the picture I sent was 100%, then Cramer got it at about 80% which, honestly, was still really good and everyone loved it. I'll definitely be coming back to pick up more goodies here. read more

Honestly not worth the hassle. Living in Yardley for years, it seems like such a fun idea to have a bakery in town and yes the pastries taste fine but not worth the price or your time. They consistently can not get an order right, to the point where it is now laughable. For example, this Easter we placed an order a month ahead for a bunny cake and a ham and cheese quiche. When we went to pick up the order, they brought out bunny cookies??? So to fix this, they brought a round cake in the back and added on a plastic bunny face. Then on Easter Day when we cut the quiche, there was not one piece of ham, just cheese. Mind you, these two items cost a total of $40...... a small cake with a plastic piece added to the front and a small hamless quiche..... $40. McCaffreys will make a better cake. read more

I am a local and have lived near Cramers for many years. I very much like the owners and have many times jogged past this place on the towpath at night and become entranced by the baking smells. A rating for this old-time baker depends on what the reviewer wants. If you want a crusty and/or multgrain loaf of bread or a crispy, folded croissant, this place is a zero. If you want a customized birthday cake, or the type of walnut bread you get in some diners, Cramer's is one of the best. Their turnovers and sticky buns are great but the bagels and poundcakes are inedible, There is nothing in this shop's bread and pastry offerings that could compete with the offerings at say Witherspoon Bread Company in Princeton or even the bakery stand at the Newtown Farmer's Market. However, the last birthday cake I got here was perfect. read more

Went today to pick up an order that I placed early this week. Ordered cake and two pounds of cookies. Found out when I got there that they weren't able to bake the cookies. Didn't find this out till I got there Customer service stinks. Quality has been going downhill for several years. Cakes sometimes taste like they've been frozen. Cupcakes have little icing and are not attractive at all. Seems like Mr Cramer is being a cheapskate. This was my last order. Colonial Farms will be my new go to bakery. read more

This was my 3rd trip back to Cramer's since returning to Yardley. I have to agree with some of the other reviews, if you're looking for donuts, get their early because they are good. I recently made a trip and got some lemon squares which were delicious. I have noticed the service was well below average long faces, no smiles. I'll be back for donuts and a cake, other than that I will try other places. It kills me not to give my money to local businesses. A few adjustments and it would be a much better place. read more

Sorry, but don't agree with the masses on Cramer's. I love to support local businesses, but we have had friends bring cakes from there on three separate occasions. All were dry and basically inedible...all went directly in the trash after everyone left. read more
