I picked up some treats for my Dad, my boyfriend's dad, and to share with my boyfriend. I ordered four cannoli, a one raspberry twist, a few M&M cookies, a few sfogliatelles, an apple turnover, and a few other things. I ended up going a little overboard and spending almost $76 but it was all worth it. (I go a little insane and can't control my spending when I'm in a bakery.) The first time I came here was a 2.5 weeks ago. Mary worked the register. She was really kind and awesome. I had ordered a frosted sugar cookie, a raspberry twist, an M&M cookie, and a chocolate Nutella croissant. Definitely check out this awesome bakery!

The location isn't where you would think to find a bakery. Located in a former elementary or middle school is where you'll find it. Cute set up, my boyfriend was thrilled that the bakery made cuccidati, lemon cookies and we both loved the orange pecan biscotti, there flavorful, and great for dipping in coffee. Defintly check it out if your in search of authentic Italian cookies, and cascata cakes.

Genevieve's Cheesecakes and Bake Shop continues to be one of my go-to spots to satisfy my sweets…read morecravings in 2026! The staff here are wonderful, I feel so welcomed when I walk in and I think I've gotten to know them pretty well. I really look forward to coming in and having a chat each time I stop by to satisfy my sweet tooth. My go-to's are the Cookies & Cream mini cheesecake, Mud Pie mini cheesecake, and their Chocolate Chip Pie slice! If you're a red velvet cake-lover like I am, stop by around February for their Red Velvet mini cheesecake! Their scones are soft and muffin-like (they call their scones "scuffins") and if you're there on a Saturday morning, get one of their cinnamon rolls as it's coming out the oven - It's phenomenal! Looking at Taste of Buffalo 2026's socials, I saw Genevieve's was there and introduced a new cheesecake flavor: Strawberry Crunch! I usually don't go to Taste of Buffalo so I was really glad to see Genevieve's was continuing to sell it in their shop. I picked up a Strawberry Crunch mini cheesecake as well as an old favorite, their Mud Pie mini cheesecake for weekend of indulgent treats. I've swooned on about their Mud Pie flavor so I'll skip that and go straight to my Strawberry Crunch mini cheesecake review - In short, I REALLY enjoyed this! The graham cracker crust pairs nicely with the vanilla cheesecake and those creamy strawberry crumbly-bits. This encapsulated the flavor and texture of that classic ice cream novelty nicely! The mini cheesecakes are dense, a nice treat you can share (or not, I don't share mine :) ). I'm glad to see that their pricing has remained incredibly reasonable as well. Genevieve's Cheesecakes and Bake Shop is truly a great place with friendly, accommodating staff and high-quality desserts and treats! I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

To my surprise, it was much harder than I expected to tell the cannoli, tiramisu, Nutella, amaretto, and loganberry cheesecakes apart. They all had a rich, creamy texture and a strong vanilla flavor that tied them together, which isn't a bad thing at all. My daughter declared the loganberry her favorite, while my one son couldn't get enough of the coconut slice (really it's amaretto). As for me, I think I'll just have to keep eating more cheesecake before I can confidently pick a favorite!

I realized that while I'm in Allentown often, it seems not after 12 noon on Thursday, Friday,…read moreSaturday or Sunday. I say this as I came across the Sweet Temptations booth this past weekend. I asked when she was opening the store that I have been eyeing for ages. Well over once a week, as I pass by there many times a week. She said they are open. And have been for a while. I picked up some popcorn, which was very good and I'd happily eat it again. I sampled some of her cookies and other things she had on the table. They all tasted great. I can't wait to try more, but I'll have to stop by Thur-Sun after 12 noon. But they are open into the evenings many days, great for the Allentown restaurant and bar crowd. Pick up a frozen treat this summer or a cookie instead of a grilled cheese from just down the road. Nice to have choices like that on Allen. If you have a specific thing you want to pick up I'd call in advance to make sure she has it that day or can make it for you. But if you are like me and are content to browse and see what strikes your fancy from the case, you can pop in anytime she's open. Street parking.

Fantastic cakes!!! They are one of the best cake bakeries in the area by a long shot.read more

When asked about ownership of the Google page, I was told, "We've asked them 100 times to take that down & they won't." Doing what I do for my FT job, I know how these things work & that's not it. As for our tasting, we ordered a slice of cassata, a tiramisu tower, a pecan bar & a peanut butter bar. The almond flavor of the cassata cake layers was AMAZING, but that's where the pleasure stopped. For the rest of our experience. The cassata frosting was not whipped cream & instead quite hard and unpalatable (like Crisco was used). The tiramisu tower didn't have any coffee flavor in it. The Pecan bar was loaded with pecans, but the filling was unflavored goop. The peanut butter bar was like eating sand. There were no restrooms that appeared to be available for hand washing. All in all, with a cup of coffee, I'm glad it was only $24. On to the next bakery to find a suitable cassata cake for my mom's Big Birthday next year.

Came here for a work lunch with a provider who happens to be a friend. We have been DREAMING about…read morethis place since we set the date a few weeks ago, so expectations were high and thankfully, this place delivered. We walked in knowing immediately that we were going to have to share. Last time she was here, she had the Six and confessed that she wasn't sure she could ever bring herself to order anything else. So, naturally, we had to get it. Mortadella, fig jam, banana peppers, ricotta, and arugula. I know. It sounds like someone opened the refrigerator and said, "Let's just see what happens." But somehow, those bold, strong flavors work SO well together. It was definitely a messy sandwich, but you know you're in good company when there's a giant stack of napkins between you and you're both laughing while trying to keep the fillings from escaping. I also knew we had to try the Noons. It's basically a focaccia-style pizza, which is exactly as wonderful as it sounds. This one didn't have a description on the menu, but staff said he's been calling it "Figgy Piggy." Figs, prosciutto, and caramelized onions. Buffalo friends, I'm telling you, you NEED to try this. And then came the bakery treats. We decided we needed three because apparently neither of us believes in moderation when pastries are involved. Later that night, I dove into my double chocolate cookie, and WOW. I was very impressed. I'm pretty sure they use some dark or bittersweet chocolate because it wasn't overly sweet. The chocolate flavor was rich and perfect, and the texture was chef's kiss. My friend had the strawberry shortbread, which she absolutely loved. She said it tasted like she was eating cheesecake in cookie form, and honestly, I don't think you could give a better description than that. So yes, I am officially inviting everyone in Buffalo to come here. They have some tables inside and a couple outside, making this the perfect spot for a lunch date, a catch-up with a friend, or simply making questionable decisions about how many pastries you "need."

The Hello Dollies were absolutely delicious those were a definite highlight. Unfortunately, the cupcakes weren't what I was hoping for. I can't pinpoint exactly what was missing, but the flavors just didn't stand out to me the way I expected. I did try to ask a few questions about wedding tastings while I was there, but the worker helping me didn't seem very enthusiastic or willing to offer much guidance. Since this is such an important part of planning my wedding, that part of the experience felt a bit disappointing. Overall, while I was really rooting for this to be "the place" especially since it's a big and popular bakery I don't feel confident moving forward with them for my wedding desserts. I truly wanted to love everything, but the tasting just didn't click for me.

The cake itself wasn't overly sweet, had a wonderfully tender crumb, the perfect tartness from the lemon, and was topped with big, fresh blackberries. Already looking forward to doing this again!

We went for brunch and while it seemed busy, the service was excellent and the food matched it.

She stated the food and coffee were excellent. I went with the Blue Eyed Classic which was scrambled eggs (perfectly creamy and fluffy), a sausage patty, diced potatoes, and sourdough toast with butter, along with a cold brew. It hit the spot.
