It is a smaller old school bakery with lots of glass cases. They have a nice variety of sweet treats : cookies, pastries, breads, cakes, muffins and more! This is our go to bakery for birthday bakes. Cakes are consistently good from here. We personally love the white cake with raspberry filling. The cake decorator who used to be there is no longer so they are not as beautiful as they once were but they still taste good. The buttercream icing is silky smooth and sweet but not too sweet!

Potomac Bakery is a pleasant stop along a really nice road for walking. The shop smells wonderful…read moreinside, the staff are always friendly, and they often have discounted items available. Quality depends somewhat on what you order, but there is some really good stuff here. Of everything I have tried here, the large cinnamon rolls are my favorite. They have the perfect amount of moistness and softness, use a good amount of cinnamon within the roll, and feature an amazing cream cheese frosting that is not overly sweet and does not overpower the comforting cinnamon flavor. The muffins are also high quality and stay moist throughout the week if you get a dozen. I especially like the almond and cherry flavored muffins. My dad says he cannot tell the difference between the muffins at Potomac bakery and the muffins at Giant Eagle, and that may well be true as Giant Eagle has some good stuff though I have never tried both to compare. They are even better freshly toasted with a little Irish butter on top. If you are going to get a doughnut here, the cream filled ones are probably your best bet because they use high quality cream. I would personally skip the scones because the scones can be a bit dry and bland and are probably my least favorite thing I have tried here. In conclusion I recommend the large cinnamon rolls, the muffins, and if you go for a donut you must get a cream filled one.

Today is the 2nd and perhaps final day of the "soft opening" of TBSP. The first bakery incubator in…read morethe region I got the opportunity to meet and tour with Phil E. the bakery manager. Phil explained to me that unlike Smallman Galley these bakers are be trained and build their reputation in order that at the end of their 18 month run here, they can start their own bakery. I had the opportunity to meet and greet three of the resident bakers-Christina, Jewel, and Sam. Chris, the bread maker was due in later but I did manage to purchase one of his day old French breads to take home. Phil showed my husband and I around the unfinished premises and some of the ideas he's planning. There will be a classroom for promising bakers. Other bakers can come in periodically and sell their goods. He took us into his office where he showed us mannequins acquired from the old Kaufmann's dept store windows which he hopes to showcase at a later date. He also has several dated but still working appliances such as an old time wheat grinder that empties out on the third floor. Much of the 2nd floor is under construction but the 3rd floor houses the main kitchen itself with many of their items donated by local businesses. The kitchen can be rented out for community bakers. They also plan to hold events here with other businesses. I was blown away to see an actual Middleleby-Marshall oven company oven. He showed us how is rotates and is still operable. He was gracious to answer my questions regarding gluten free, vegan, and of course holidays. For gluten free they have a very small selection but they hope to get in Patrick from Paddywagon in Dormont next week to make gluten free and vegan baked goods. Special orders can be taken including wedding cakes, challahs, or anything else large scale to meet your needs. Everything here is local and farm sourced and all the ingredients are fresh. Back to the first floor where the bakers were just starting to put out all those delicious goodies. The choices will blow you away-quiches, biscuits, croissants, muffins, cookies, etc. Didn't see a cake but I'm sure those will pop up later in the day. Their coffee comes from Prestogeorge in the Strip district. Now this is how it works. Hanging on the wall is a picture of each baker and a vertical color stripe by their names and bios. Each of the cases will have the corresponding color noted on the item so you can tell which baker made it. Believe me, it is so easy to just look at all the goodies and forget who made what. In addition they were giving out some free samples of yesterday's baked goods. I got to sample a peanut butter brownie, a raspberry croissant and a carrot muffin. My husband sampled the same brownie. These were all melt in your mouth good! Phil explained to us that anything that doesn't sell is donated to the baker's charity of choice. Since we wanted to take home a taste of everything I ended up buying a mini quiche, a huge apple crumb cake, and chocolate chip cookies from Christina, the chocolate brownies from Jewel, and a loaf of French bread from Chris. We got to see the dough Chris plans to use today to make a walnut bread along with his specialty sourdough bread and more. They do not have a bread cutter yet but they hope to get one soon. Believe me Sam's glazed donuts looked outstanding but we decided next visit. Another interesting thing they have is this wooden coin with their symbol on it. They have cute sayings on the side which you can vote for. The most votes will determine the next T-shirt they use. The concept doesn't stop here. We got to meet and chat with the curator Maria who has bakery related art on display throughout the store. She plans to rotate aspiring and talented artists to display and sell their work here. She had also mentioned the possibly of teaching classes here. Throughout the store you can see old knickknacks and items of yesterday including the old streetcar that used to run on Brownsville Rd. Finally, we got to meet and chat with Jami P the executive manager who oversees operations and was open to any ideas I had. Everything here is very reasonably priced and it is so easy to go overboard. Once home I had the quiche which was already fully cooked and warm along with one of the chocolate chip cookies. They quiche as dense and quite filling-very good. The cookie-soft and moist. The bakery society of Pittsburgh hopefully plans to start their regular business hours this coming Mon. They will be open six days a week with slightly reduced hours on Sat. Located on Brownsville Rd in Mt. Oliver, metered street parking is available or you can catch a couple of bus routes since this is the main street of the neighborhood.

I am disappointed that this morning they had nothing pumpkin so I bought a peach crumble and was overcharged for it as a pumpkin bread pudding and a baguette which isn't great and it was a white bread on my receipt at $3.50. not great and not worth $3.50. I'm sad and not encouraged that they will survive. Maybe somebody had a bad day

My first time here, at the request of my 11yo son. I got him 1/2 dozen cookies for Valentine's Day…read more I ordered ahead to pick up through DoorDash simply because I had a $10 coupon on the app so I only paid like $8 and was an easy in and out pick up. I am not a sweet tooth person whatsoever and can generally only handle a bite, dislike cake however warm cookies made right are a weakness. I am glad these locations are at least 15-20 min drive. These are melt in your mouth dangerous and I could never visit often for that reason, I keep sweets a minimum in my household. Some have too much going on, prefer the basic ones which were yummy, they're big enough for 3 days for one cookie to me but I could only have that maybe 1-2x a year (my son way more if he was in charge lol) Easy to find, nice location right near South Park entrance so could be a cool after park treat on nice days, has parking lot, clean, well kept and modern looking interior. Did not have much interaction with staff but seemed to be a busy location. Prior to this, I've only been to Insomnia Cookies and I want to say these are softer and a tad bit more unique options.

I can't speak for the other cookies since I only tried the chocolatey fudgy one, but I loved it…read more The fudgy center was my favorite part and the deep chocolate flavor was very comforting.
