Dicks Bakery was the only Bakery that had the Best DateN Nut Cake and Cupcakes! We All Will Miss Them GREATLY! WE LOVE YOU GUYS! read more

We were walking back to our car after lunch at the Thai Place down the block (see my review Mango Thai Berea). We passed this bakery which was packed with customers, so we stopped. Inside appeared to be a standard bakery, and since it was after lunch on the weekend before Christmas, the goods were almost sold out. I could tell that this was a decent place because the servers inside knew their pastries and how to manage the line to keep them moving in and out. The cookies and pastries appeared well made and decorated. They had samples which were so yummy and light (which could be dangerous). My wife decided to get a prepared box of holiday cookies to take home. The cookies were tasty, unfortunately the gingersnap flavor wandered over into the other cookies in the box. I would recommend getting cookies separately and not packaged. There were so many varieties of baked goods, so it would be hard to pick and choose unless you went to this place frequently. Good stuff, cookies by the pound. Various cakes and pastries also being sold. I think I even saw donuts. Keep up the good work! If we are in the neighborhood again, will be stopping by. read more

Date nut cake is very similar to Baker's Bakery, but they don't put the crushed walnuts up the sides of the frosting (which I miss).

First time here to celebrate Paczki day! I came around 9:30 and they had already ran out of Raspberry, Custard, and one other flavor. So come early! Or they do take preorders. I got the (last) blueberry, apple, and cream cheese. Wow they were so good! I ate both the blueberry and cream cheese omg!! Love the balance between the sweet filling and dough. They have a $10 credit card minimum so place to order a few or bring cash. Everyone was so nice too. read more

Best Date nut cake in town! This is a no frills bakery. They take cash so bring some.

Dick's Bakery has some of the best donuts around Cleveland. They're super fresh, soft, and just the right amount of sweet. You can tell they're made the old-school way, and there's something really comforting about that. The staff was friendly and the whole place has a laid-back local vibe. Definitely a go-to spot when you're craving a classic donut. read more

Delicious bakery!! Everything is made fresh, prices are phenomenal. The date nut cake is a must-try. I also bought a cinnamon roll from the case and it was so good. Definitely worth a try especially since the prices are so good, and the food is just amazing. read more

I unfortunately did not order anything because it was $10 minimum on credit card and I didn't have any cash on me. As I was flying out that day, wasn't going to order many goodies. Items looked good and I was greeted. I did feel bad that I had to walk out. read more

Classic bakery. Dick's has been around forever. If you're looking for gifts this is a good place. All kinds of classic cakes and cookies. They are also old school in technology, cash only. I needed to get some breakfast treats for a meeting and this seemed like a good place to pick up items. It's been here for a long time, and certainly looks like it with the old school decor and smells. They apparently have the same recipes as they did when they opened, and the same technology too. It looks like a typical classic bakery. On both walls are glass cases. These are filled with lots of cookies and donuts. It always seems to be the same woman behind the counter. She was the one who caused some trouble with not allowing service dogs inside. It's talked about repeatedly in other reviews here. There's also been other complaints about other instances of her rudeness. She hasn't given me any trouble, but I haven't been in here often. Try ordering a cake and the experience might not go as smoothly. It is behind the times in many areas. Most obvious is the lack of technology here. Take some cash with you. read more

Date and nut cake. If you haven't had it, at least try a cupcake. It has the complexity and texture like a carrot cake but BETTER! In fact, it's the BEST! Their cookies are delicious homemade goodness too. They have chocolate chip, sugar, PB, and some other ones. It's a pastry heaven! Get there early (they open at 7) and go for it! I haven't tried all the things yet but I doubt they will disappoint ;) read more

I hit menu for bakery items and nothing I tried the datenut cake and was so impressed,closed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Was curious how much the cake was? read more

I admit I didn't have the famous date and nut cake. I just had a poppy danish, and it was fine but really just ok. The flavor of the dough was nice, but the texture was rather limp and flimsy, and the icing was too sweet for my taste. Still worth a stop for a snack, though. read more

These bear claws are delicious!!!. They are so good that I could not get a picture of all three of them!!! read more

We have been getting there date nut cake forever it is one of a kind and delicious. Like grandma would make years ago .

Love everything about this bakery, it all tastes great. But if your ordering a cake for a special event please go elsewhere, You will get it in an aluminum pan and it looks so cheap looking. Like from the store freezer dept. I think they should put them on a board. Like the smaller round ones in the bakery case. But no the other ones are put in a cheap looking pie pan! I was embarrased. Plus if you put writing on it......you have to pay for all the writing. Giant Eagle will write anything you want on a cake for free! No matter how much writing, as long as they can fit it on! Dicks charged me extra to write "Congratulations to 4 names" on the cake. Thats crazy! But otherwise their cakes an pastries an nut rolls etc are awesome!! read more

We ordered a cake here for my mother-in-law's birthday this past week. We were excited to see Dick's Bakery is known for their date nut cake, which is her favorite. Unfortunately with our scheduling, a birthday dinner we had planned for the weekend was bumped to an earlier date giving us only one day to prepare. We called Dick's hoping they could help, but understood with such a late order we might be out of luck. Dick's had what we needed and helped my husband understand cake measurements. We were luckily able to get a 10 inch round date nut cake. My mother-in-law was so happy and excited to have her favorite cake and happily took the remaining cake with her. I thought the frosting was perfect for the flavor and texture of the cake and we will most likely order all of our cakes here since we love to support local business. read more

The best bakery around. I drive 30 minutes for this bakery... worth every mile... great staff.

You can't beat their Date Nut cakes. This is where we get our cakes for every occasion. Have been doing so for the last 40 years!

We ordered a cake that was for a baby boy and we told them to make it blue and they made it pink, it took 45 minutes for them to fix it. And the lady who worked there was mean, and was accusing us of saying the wrong thing. Don't go here read more

This review is sadly probably less than 3 stars, but they were friendly, and it honestly pains me to give less than 3 stars if they didn't do something that I would label a poor business practice. It's just that the baked goods were....well, not good. I had a bland peanut butter cookie. My brother and sister in law had a bland date-nut cake. And my nephew had a below-average cookie. I am so sorry. I wanted to enjoy this place, but I just didn't. Time to look for some new recipes here, guys. read more

Very limited selection of doughnuts and pastries. Service is slow. The counter staff is into Neverending local gossip. read more

Simply delicious!!! The cookies are so good! Chocolate chip and the step up... chocolate dipped chocolate chip!!! Get the date cake, you won't regret it!!!! read more

Not going to lie, in Columbus I love celebrating Mardi Gras and having king cake. I moved here and was trying to find a bakery that does it. I had coworkers that recommended this place. Well I should have called other bakeries. This is not the king cake I'm used to. Look it up and it didn't even look like a king cake! I was also taking it to a party for people that have never tried it before.. I was excited to explain the baby concept to them and how it's hidden... open the box and welll... look at the picture yourself. You can see where I'm going with this read more

Hands down best date nut cake ever! I just heard tonight that Dick's Bakery is closing. I sure hope it's not true. I would be very saddened by this. read more

I grew up in the area and still love Dick's Date Nute Cake. It's perfection! No other bakery, and I mean NO OTHER BAKERY, can match Dick's Date Nut Cake. If you haven't tried a Dick's Date Nut Cake, you're missing out. It's heaven. It's perfect. The frosting is fluffy and buttery with barely any sugary flavor. Most other bakeries overload their frosty with sugar. Dick's Date Nut is smooth, rich, and buttery. The cake itself is so moist and rich and in flavor. Most other bakeries produce dry, sponge-like cakes. Dick's Date Nut is seasoned with just the right amount of nutmeg, maple, and cinnamon to produce a flavor like no other. read more

My brother brought me the most awesome date nut birthday cake !!!!.. a huge moist delightful treat that our entire family enjoyed as well! We lived across the street from Dick and grew up with Darlene, Andy, and all the boys! Dick so kind to my mother with six kids !!....he would drop off BAKERY almost every day that hadn't been sold yet... Thank you so much for sweetening our sweet tooth Baker family! read more

I traveled from Dallas Tx to come to have datenut cake. It was delicious. We had the cupcakes. My came up from Atlanta, he ate 6 lol. Was great to have the family in Cleveland! And my brother made it from Minneapolis too. We got to show his daughter Cleveland and taste our favorite! Thanks again read more

I am amazed at some of the negative reviews of this wonderful bakery. It is not modern or a super chain store, in short it is a trip back in time, a small family bakery that is steeped in old fashion tastes and quality. Everything I have tasted has been excellent. The date and nut cake is moist and delicious with a frosting that is not to sweet and light as air. This is our go to cake for special events and parties. I am always amazed by our guests less than excited reaction to the words "date and nut cake" , followed by asking me where can I get one of those after they taste it. read more

This bakery has top notch bakery. They are know for their Date Nut Cake. Yummy yum Now we found out that same Date Nut Cake CUPCAKESThe chocolate chip cookies are so goodThe peanut butter cookies are also yummyIf you are using a credit card there is a minimum of $10.00, cash is always welcome tooLocated in the heart of Berea. Reasonable prices. Try it soon, you won't be disappointed read more

Growing up my family owned a bakery therefore this review is based on my experience on two points: Pastry quality and customer service. 1. The pasty quality at Dick's bakery extremely poor. They use cheap ingredients and keep on decreasing their quality every year. For example, in my opinion, the date nut cake was the only "ok" recipe they had but lately they changed the french butter cream to taste like lard and the cake batter to include less date nut. It tastes awful. 2. As far as customer service, ALL the women working at this bakery have no idea how to greet customers and do not have manners. They have treated me in a condescending manner every time I have visited. I kept supporting this small business but unfortunately I have had it because there is no quality control nor good customer service. read more

Love the date nut cake and - YAY - the original creamy buttercream frosting appears to be back - for awhile there a short time ago it seemed to be different and more grainy and not as good. Glad it's back to now creamy buttercream again. read more
