It was after 6 am. And I was driving by and seen this place. So I turned around and came back to check it out. I ordered a mocha coffee and a sour cream donut. Boy was I satisfied. But he the coffee and the donut tasted great. I even made the effort and came back a. Second time already. I look forward to many more visits. read more

Great donuts. They had a good variety, and my family liked them all. I would definitely recommend.

Spent the night in Elyria, Ohio and when searching for a bakery option we discovered the Expresso Bakery. We grabbed cups of freshly brewed coffee and a bag full of delicious baked pastries. We planned to save a few before we got home but were only able to save one. So goood! The staff were excellent and very friendly. There is no inside seating area, so be prepared to grab and go! read more

This is my first time since new ownership took over. The store is very cute and quaint. The service was okay could have been a little friendlier. The selection they have is great. The donuts looked delicious along with the other baked goods. They have apple fritters, cinnamon rolls,cookies ans fazios I tried the maple donut with peanuta and a cranberry orange muffin. The muffin was good,very strong orange flavor. I like the sugar on top. And I tried a maple peanut donut. Personally I could have used more maple glaze on it just because there was so many peanuts, but it was still good. Also I tasted the vanilla cake donut with glaze. It was pretty flavorful. I got a latte with brown sugar cinnamon. It was alright I will come back again at some point to try a cookie and a fazio. read more

I wish I could write a better review cause it sucks having to say negative things about small businesses. But this was bad. So it started with us picking up the donuts and the person (a girl) behind the counter getting upset with us cause we were early. We pre-ordered the donuts. When we got there, multiple orders were going out the door, before 7am. So we figured we'd get ours early too. Nope, she yelled at us and said "I already told you, you won't get them till after 7am." Even though others were getting them before 7am. Then, when we got them, they didn't have all of them ready. They said they did but once they recounted, they realized they didn't have the full order ready. But it took some convincing to get them to even count and make sure we had all the donuts. Next... the donuts. Half of ours were stale. Like two day old stale. If you look at our picture, the ones on the right side plus a couple (the pink frosted ones especially (all of those for some reason)), those were all stale. The new that weren't stale, they were ok. But when half your donuts especially the ones you daughter wants (the pink sprinkle ones) are stale, it ruins everything and just piles onto the negatives. I don't like writing negative reviews but there just wasn't enough positives sadly. Sorry, but we won't be coming back. read more

Flaky pastry! Great service. Nice little place to get in and out. Great displays cases full of beautiful bakery. Good coffee too!

Would definitely recommend! The staff were friendly, the donuts were amazing, and the iced caramel macchiato I had was delicious too. Great experience all around! read more

Amazing donuts and fresh coffee is the best! This place definitely delivers both. Make sure to check them out.

The best donuts, ever! Service is great and everyone is so friendly. Great selection of coffee also

Possibly the world's best donuts! Highly recommend if you're ever anywhere in the area. Great people working there and always super fresh delicious goodies! read more

Just have to say they have the very best donuts I have ever tasted hands down. Once you try them you will fall in love.

Great Doughnut and Pastry selection Fast service Great Workers and Staff Highly Recommended ! read more

I grew up with the Sweet Cream donut shop as a kid (RIP) and I am so glad to see another donut shop succeed in Elyria years later! I moved back to the area this year and have been meaning to give them a try. I came in on a weekday and two friendly employees helped customers get in and out quickly. I was glad to see such a wide selection with a couple gimmicks (think fruity pebbles) and a ton of classics. I got a half dozen to share with family and everyone's favorites were covered! That said, I can't believe I'd gone my whole life without trying a cassata donut and now I'm dreaming of another. Everything was fresh and delicious, but the prices were still pretty comparable to a certain national donut chain. I was in a hurry, but I look forward to coming back to try a coffee drink! read more

For just reopening they did a fantastic job keeping the same donuts for similar prices. Great donuts, but the fazios are unbelievable. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

Amazing customer service. They were friendly and helpful. The donut flavors were fun and I was very excited to try them. They were good, but very dry. I'd try it again! read more

Great customer service with even greater donuts! Very cute tiny shop with sweet employees who greet you as soon as you enter the shop. I'm super impressed with their comeback after the crash earlier this year, and excited that my favorite donut shop is back open! read more

"Expresso Baker" is a misnomer - a name inconsistent with the DNA of the establishment. An espresso is a modest drink often made and enjoyed quickly. Nothing in "Expresso Bakery" follows suit. Indeed, everything here is made from scratch, slowly and with care. It is designed to be enjoyed slowly, though the donuts are so sinfully tasty that it is hard to do so. Do nott make the mistake of coming in for a single donut. You will love whatever you leave with but experience regret that you couldn't enjoy more variety. Instead, grab a dozen to split with friends. On a recent visit I had several and each was better than the last. They serve both the deliciously simple (chocolate glazed) and the creatively complex (vanilla cake with buttercream and fruity pebbles). Expresso Baker life hack - although they usually sell out of the best varieties early, you can call and "reserve" goodies. And how many bakeries in Ohio serve bagels with "schmear"???? read more

Fantastic! Best bakery around here. I'd take this place over Dunkin any day! The employees were very nice and quick considering they just re opened and are most likely newly hired. read more

I've tasted their donuts at numerous parties and events so I know theyre good quality and taste great. However, I just stopped in for the first time yesterday. It was about 11:45 am and they were out of the items I usually look for. I was really looking forward to getting some goodies but seems like you need to stop there shortly after they open. I'll be back again but much earlier. One thing that bothered me though, and maybe I just didn't spot it; but there was no pricing on the donut shelves, nor up on the wall? Please correct me if I'm wrong? Sorry, can't give them a 5 Star review until after I get to make a purchase. read more

Such a cute place! So glad to have this in the neighborhood! The parking is pretty easy (side, convenient, church or street) but it's also pretty walkable, which is a plus. I really like this place because of the variety- delicious donuts (I got the maple apple one, and my dad always gets The Homer.. as in Homer Simpson haha), and amazing drinks. I got the iced coffee with chocolate and it's definitely the best iced coffee around, in my opinion. Another thing thats great about this place is the interior and how cute it is! Fun vibes all the way. Check out my photos below. Lastly, be sure to remember the hours when you go. They are open on Wednesday- Sunday (closed on Monday and Tuesday) from 5am to 2pm. read more

Expresso Bakery. Reopened May 1st Bring on the Yum. We good Apple Fritters ( huge) Glazed and Chocolate Iced Plus Chocolate Nuts And one Cassata Note - better selection earlier you get there. I was there at 9am and there was a line of socially distance people of about 11 waiting to get in. Lobby only will hold two under social distance rules. Let's be safe. Shop local read more

Love the place! Great coffee! Best baked goods! So sorry they had to be closed so long for repairs. Can't wait for them be o open again!

Everything is amazing! Puts Dunkin and other donut chains to shame! Best donuts in the area!

Very good place. They have been closed for a while because a car crashed into the store and it's taking them a while to get it fixed. They are a small business and we love to support them. We are looking forward to when they open again. read more

Excellent donuts and fantastic bagels. The owner is a great guy who was taking a little break outside and chatting with customers as they waited in line. I'm so happy everything was so great because he made it so welcoming there we wanted to love it. And we did! Small local business with hard working pleasant employees. We will definitely be back! read more

Homer donut was large but dry even though I bought in the morning. Not badly priced- 6 donuts for just under 7 bucks. Apple fritter had decent fried crispy-ish outside but inside was dry and not worthy of eating. Cake donuts were better with a crispy glazed outside and only mildly dry inside. Overall not worth a stop. Only everything flavor bagels were available. Unremarkable place entirely. read more

I'm glad Expresso Bakery made a comeback! I had never gone there before, but I was there for the Grand reopening and am happy I was. Their muffins are fantastic! Their coffee delicious and the service was wonderful, despite the crowd ! Good luck Expresso! Great job! read more

These are the best donuts in town! They are a bit pricey, and they run out quickly, so you have to be in line when they open at 6AM, but they're well worth the hassle and the price. read more

Will review when we can get back at an earlier time :) Very nice they accommodated us by hand making a special donut with sprinkles. Can't wait to come back at an earlier time with more selection! read more

A wonderful gem of a donut shop making all of the best classics. Staff is great and it's always worth the wait. So glad they are reopen!

Nice tasting muffins and donuts. I also had a hot Machiatto it was a treat! Wanting more!

Amazingly large donuts. Cinnamon rolls are amazing. My kids thoroughly enjoyed their donuts. Will definitely be back. Friendly staff. Fairly priced. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS! read more

The staff is always kind and polite. The donuts and coffee are the best in county! Their version of Link's Pinks cookies are delicious!

I really like that there is a fresh donut bakery that is NOT a chain. LOVE the Cassata donut and the apple fritter. The only issue is that donuts that are not iced have been dry the last 3 times I got them, I know that they have to bake early to provide a supply for all of us but maybe there is a better way to store them. In the meantime I am soooo missing the cinnamon roll donuts. read more

This place rocks!! I have been here about 8 times now. Excellent bagels - bst on the west side. Homemade cream cheese is delicious. Outstanding pastries and doughnuts. Decent coffee. Very friendly staff and owner. The only (very small) downside is that it is small inside, so with COVID only 2 customers can be in the store, so the line goes outside on the sidewalk. It is worth the short wait!! read more

i place an order for pink cookies and went to pick them up the next day and ask to make another order. After an employee told me I can place the order and have it the next day. The owner stated she is not making them because she did her orders for the day...mind you I explained to her I live 300+ miles and the communication from an employee was different. This order would have been plenty of time and 24 hrs in advance. The owner was rude. read more
