    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!

    Almost all of these were stale. Like 2 days old stale.

    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.

    "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"????

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

    That said, I can't believe I'd gone my whole life without trying a cassata donut and now I'm dreaming of another.

    Blue Rooster Bakehouse - Oberlin, Ohio Driving through…read moreOberlin, I was looking for a good cup of coffee and decided to stop in at Blue Rooster Bakehouse. The menu is written on a chalkboard, and there's a display case showing off all their fresh pastries and treats. I was hoping for something savory, and the barista mentioned the only option was a cheese croissant. It wasn't shaped like a traditional croissant, but the dough was flaky and buttery, filled with jalapeño and cream cheese, and finished with a sprinkle of salt on top -- surprisingly delicious. I ordered a Doppio, which I later learned is a double shot of espresso. It was strong, smooth, and paired perfectly with my pastry. I also picked up a slice of gluten-free banana bread for my husband. They had about four gluten-free/vegan options available, and everything looked freshly baked. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the space itself was cozy, seating around 15 people. However, accessibility could be an issue -- the narrow layout and tight walkway would make it difficult for anyone using a wheelchair to navigate. My total came to around $12, which felt reasonable for a specialty coffee and baked goods treat. Overall, it's a charming little spot with quality coffee and friendly service -- a place I'd return to when I'm in the area and want to splurge a little.

    Wow. The difficulty…read morein a place like this lies in the narrowing down and decision making on what to get. If I could, I would have gotten one of everything. We finally settled on oatmeal cookie (man it's so good), fig/goat cheese/pear pastry, berry pastry, americano, and a chai latte with oat milk. We had a blast eating outdoors at the picnic bench, nice breeze even on an August morning! If we're ever in town again, this will be our Go To spot for sure.
