    Such a cute spot in College Hill! The pastries are absolutely delicious! It's a pretty small space on the inside with 6 seats or so and then some tables outside for outdoor seating. We came early on a weekend and were served right away! Got a collection of pasties, savory and sweet, that were all superb. I would put these right at the top of the list of pastries in Cincinnati! Will definitely be back!

    This is pure enjoyment, rolled into carbs and sugar, and I don't mind it! I've been to a few of these bakeries as they are popping into the city, but these have to be the best reasonably priced. The service was efficient. I went early in the morning because I'm always scared to risk a sellout, and they were already low on pastries and it was eight in the morning. That says a lot. Not really big fan of their coffee choices, but who was really here for the coffee? I can't imagine how their weekends are. I would say going during the week. I will be back to get more options. The sweet potato was my favorite. I have to return again. Run to College Hill!

    Just moved to the neighborhood and we are so stoked to have El Camino. Stopped by on a Sunday morning and the vibes were fantastic. The staff was super friendly and loved the design of the space. Plenty of parking out front. The food was fantastic. Loved the breakfast sandwich. Great bun and the sausage was nice and zesty. The quiche was also great with a good mix of flaky dough and crispy corners. Can't wait to come back!

    What a treat! Having a "treat yo self" moment I'm glad i stumbled on this place. Steady flow of customers didn't stop the staff from being friendly, inviting and efficient. Croissants, tarts, confit and loaves of a French style bakery isn't complete without coffee, espresso and other drinks also offered. Smells good. Looks good. Tastes good! (A little pricey but worth it!)

    Food is great. Pastry is fabulous. Delicious, flaky and incredible. People are great, kind and generous. Nice warm area to sit and enjoy in the store with others by the window looking out on the street.

    Since my first review- we have been back... many times. The selection of pastries keeps growing and everything we have tried is wonderful. Whatever flavor scone they have that week is a go to for me. Buttery perfection. Or the quiche. The new house made chai is incredible! The service is always friendly and it is becoming our favorite spot. You have to check it out!

    Molly and Bryce were very helpful, they helped me decide on the pesto danish and the berries and cream danish. Both delicious!!

    It is an amazingly simple concept and the best part is the bakery you should check it out and see what they have there!

I had seen the sign for Golden Hands and decided that's where we would go! It did NOT disappoint! The kids went for the normal glazed (but twist not a circle donut!) and vanilla with sprinkles. I wanted to try one of the many others. I tried something different so I sprung for the strawberry with banana cream. I'm not a huge banana fan but oh my goodness this was amazing! The service was impeccable. I love supporting small businesses. It's definitely got a warmth and charm that is missing from the big box places. I cannot wait to come back again!

    This place is heaven!…read more I am not the biggest donut person so I love a place that has donuts and baked goods alike! This place doesn't disappoint - there is so much to choose from and the options rotate daily ! I personally love the blueberry fritters - They are huge and layers of blueberry yet they are only 3 bucks (that's so cheap). The strawberry cheese pastry was also delicious and flaky. The only thing I ordered that I wasn't a huge fan of was the pretzel - it was big and the price was right but it didn't taste better than a wawa pretzel twist. The donuts also come warm since the case seems to be a warming case which is a nice touch. The workers are so nice and they will explain every flavor to you if needed since there are no labels. The place is small and so is the parking lot.

    A true gem for lovers of French pastry. Every bite here tells a story, from the impossibly flaky…read morechocolate croissants to the caramelized, buttery layers of a perfectly crafted Kouign-amann. The blueberry muffins burst with fresh flavor, the coffee cake is warmly spiced and tender, and the morning roll is the kind of simple pleasure that keeps you coming back. And that's just scratching the surface of what's on offer. What sets this bakery apart, though, is the heart behind it all. Every pastry is made with the finest European butter, and you can taste the difference. The owner brings that same dedication to every customer interaction, he remembers your face, greets you with a genuine smile, and often invites you to try something new. It's the kind of warm, personal service that's increasingly rare, and it makes every visit feel like a little celebration.

It's not a fancy place--but that's part of the charm. What they are is consistent, full of flavor, and always worth coming back to. The bakery window is unmatched, especially right when they first open. Everything is fresh and hits every time. And the owners? Always so kind--it feels like walking into your grandparents' kitchen. Definitely stop by for patties for staff or just a crossainy with your coffee.

    We picked up a sampling on Thursday morning around 8:30. The line wasn't crazy so that was nice…read more UBE HALAYA CROISSANT 5.50 This was good. The ube filling was light and fluffy. Overall it was a bit overfilled so it was very messy and hard to eat. I could have done without the hidden coconut shavings inside. KIMCHI & EGG CROISSANT 5 I had this one for breakfast. I warmed it in my air fryer for 6 minutes on 330 so it didn't overcook. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and the kimchi added good flavor without being spicy. I would have liked to see a little more mozzarella but overall it was tasty! SOBACHA CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE 4 Also tasty, oversized cookie. Soft and chewy texture. CINNAMON ALMOND BLUEBERRY TOAST (THURSDAY/FRIDAY ONLY) 5.25 Very good. The cinnamon filling reminded me of a brown sugar pop tart. I warmed it in my air fryer and it was perfect. Would order again. I just wish they had an espresso bar!

While my visit didn't top my ramen preference, a savory mochi appetizer was a unique and wonderful introduction to this busy little place. Bar service seating can be a bit cramped when the restaurant is full but the friendly service and tasty food makes up for it. Interesting experiments like the Cincinnati Style Ramen, I'll let you decide for yourself if that's worth pursuing more than once.

    They have quickly become one of Cincinnati's most talked‑about bakeries, and for good reason. Their…read moreclassic croissant is everything you want it to be, flaky, sweet, buttery, and beautifully layered. The pecan roll is another standout. It is loaded with pecans, sticky in the best way, and easily one of the best in the city. When they're on, they're really on. One thing I noticed was that the setup could use a little refinement. With both coffee and bakery items coming from the same counter, the line gets congested fast and the shop is quite small. A separate line for coffee and tea offerings - they have a bunch - and pastries would make the experience smoother and match the quality of what they're serving. They do offer vegan options, which I personally have no interest in, but just an fyi. Overall, they deliver excellent pastries and has the potential to be even better with a few small tweaks to the flow and menu variety. Still absolutely worth a visit, especially for that croissant and pecan roll.
