Janina's always supplies cakes for our grandsons' birthdays. Cake is a very weak term because with amazing skills, they are a work of art. The service is kind and cordial. The showcase always leads to more purchases and delightful treats. read more

Delicious food and drinks - I'd recommend. Quiet place to catch up with a friend. I had quiche special and a hot chai tea.

I asked Janina's to please deliver a cake to my boyfriend's job site for his birthday . It is the first time celebrating a birthday for him without family as his new job requires him to be in York for about 10 months. A delicious cake was delivered on time and it surprised my boyfriend and meant a lot to both of us as it helped this day be special. My boyfriend's coworkers had never tried Janina's and loved the cake so much, they all wanted to check out the bakery! read more

Absolute BEST desserts in town! I love their food and espresso drinks! I've never had anything bad here. Outstanding Cake for my 60th birthday, my favorite breakfast is the greens bowl with turkey sausage, the macaroons are the best I've ever had, and the espresso will put Starbucks to shame. I also love supporting small businesses, so, even if they are a tad bit higher than other places, I will always go to them, and Janina'scannot be beaten! The ONLY thing I will say, is you usually have to wait quite a while so it's best to probably call ahead & order. read more

Wonderful coffee and had the quiche, and that was amazing. Lots of sitting space and the blueberry tart was very good. There are so many things I wanted to try that I will have to wait for the next visit. read more

We live in the area and never knew this was here! What an amazing find. We placed our order at the counter and then went to sit in the clean, spacious dining area. Our food came out in a timely manner, and everything was delicious. I ordered an omelet with fresh fruit, and it was wonderful. My husband ordered an omelette with little potatoes and they were delicious as well. My vanilla Latte was prepared perfectly. Got a cookie to go which was heavenly. Definitely coming back! read more

Love Janina's! I get the croissants and they are amazing. And she also has beautiful tarts, cookies, napoleons, and more. My son in law had a latte and he says it was delicious. read more

My new favorite bakery! I had breakfast here a few weeks ago. Their cafe was socially distanced and their employees follow strict CDC guidelines with masks, gloves, etc. The croissant I got was delicious and fresh. We also took some macarons home and they are the best I've had in this area. Highly recommend! read more

I am a sales rep from out of town I stopped by Janina's because I was starving and I need something quick to eat before visit a great customer. I expected good but I got magnificent amazing. The young girl at the cashier it's super sweet . She took the time to tell me about the menu and now the delicious options . I order the grilled cheese with the homemade brioche and add turkey also a tomato soup. And every time I'm in the area I will be back. If you're reading this review please consider stopping by and getting the grilled cheese . Mama Mia it was delicioussss read more

The only bad thing I can say about this place is that it is tucked away a bit and I somehow had not noticed it previously, so I've only just now had the chance to try it. This place is absolutely fabulous though! When you come in you are first greeted by the dessert case, which is gorgeous, each dessert is crafted beautifully with obvious individual attention to detail. I only had the chance to try the strawberry cheesecake and the apple tart. The cheesecake was perfect, a nice thick texture and just sweet enough but not overpoweringly sweet. The apples in the tart were perfectly spiced and the crust was the best part. Many crusts are either too flaky or doughy or have no flavor. This crust was buttery with a hint of sweetness and cooked perfectly. I will definitely be coming back to try everything else in time. read more

Delicious food, pastries, cakes, desserts, coffees, etc. I can't say enough about how delicious Janina's is. Everything she makes is a masterpiece. I couldn't possibly even begin to choose a favorite, or even a favorite category! Just go try everything they come up with. You will not be disappointed. read more

Incredible desserts. The food is delicious too--highly recommend pierogis. Macaroons are the best I've ever had

Always fresh and delicious. Comfortable dining space. Friendly, professional staff. Beautiful pastries and cakes. Excellent coffees and teas. I keep going back. read more

The croissants alone, especially the almond, demand a five-star rating. The reality is everything from Janina's patisserie is excellent. The tiramisu cake I ordered for my wife's birthday a few years ago was so delicious that even I enjoyed it, and I was never a fan of them. read more

Incredible! Delicious! Fantastic! And friendly! Yes, it's all true. We happened to be going to Lancaster a few years ago and Yelp helped us find Janina's. Recently, we were going that way again in late December and decided to stop in again. We got a variety of pastries this time and pastries and a cake last time. It's hard to say that one pastry or cookie was "the best" or a favorite because so many were great. If forced to choose, I might go with the Walewska, a layered cake named after Napoleon's girlfriend. (I'm not a Napoleon pastry fan, but this cake was fantastic.) The strawberry shortcake with marzipan was incredible--the perfect level of sweetness without having to sweeten the strawberries. A black currant mousse was a great combo of sour and sweet. And I'm not a chocolate mousse fan, but my friends loved that as well. The pecan and pear tarts were also very good, and I'd happily devour them, but if I could only choose a couple items, I'd go with the other pastries first. Oh, the macarons were fantastic too. But we only had a couple of these. Lastly, Janina was super nice both times. If you ever have a chance to go to Janina's, do it! With pastries that run the entire gamut from delicious to amazing, you won't regret it. read more

York needs more places like Janina's! I've only been for breakfast once, but my dad is there often. The food is to die for! I wish I could remember the omelette that I had because it was so good. The almond croissants are the best around, too. As far as dessert goes, you can't find better in York. Janina was our desert caterer for a family party last fall and she went above and beyond. There was enough of a variety that everyone would find something they loved and she made sure there was plenty! You also can't find nicer people who will go out of their way for you. We picked up our desserts for the aforementioned family party, and maybe twenty minutes later Eric pulled into the venue with a box that had been left behind. More recently, we were holding a small birthday party and needed a cake in literally 24 hours. Not much time! We knew we needed something chocolatey, and the next morning we devoured the most beautiful, delicious chocolate cake. If you're in York and looking for a small, family owned cafe, definitely head to Janina's! read more

Everything delicious and made with quality ingredients. The proof is in the taste. Best baked goods and the pancakes are like none I've ever tasted - so light and tender and yummy. If you are not satisfied they will fix it. Very friendly. Overall, a "5"! read more

This bakery has the wow factor, everything is amazing you don't want to miss the experience. Don't forget to try the almond croissant!

I ordered a red velvet cake a day before my wife's bday and at the end of the day she told me good job on her birthday. I'd like to thank the people up at Janina's for helping out with a great cake. Thanks again. read more

Never again, walked in and waited 15 min. The baker in the back walked pass double doors and didn't even bother acknowledging me. I understand it was empty except for one person in the dining area. I would give them no stars if that was possible. The last two times I came I purchased a lot of pastries. Would of been a loyal customer, but they are going to lose a lot of business by ignoring people waiting- even a BE Right BACK sign would of sufficed- no thanks, will spend my money elsewhere read more

York is so lucky to have such a wonderful spot! We moved to the NYC area last summer but when we come in town, we always stop here. This morning we treated ourselves to breakfast in her expanded eating area. The omelets are large, fresh and delicious! They come with a side of meat, a small micro green salad and a cup of fruit....oh and some amazing fresh bread! They now do a full Polish dinner once a month which I hope we can get to soon. I am told it fully books over a month in advance! If you're in the area and haven't stopped in yet, now is the time! I wish she had a place in NY!!! read more

Meh, just meh. Over-priced and bland at best. Had a family member special order a carrot cake and waited 5 days for it. It was just slightly bigger than one of those individual sized "Baby's First Birthday" cakes you get for free in the local grocery stores and for $35 I sure had greater expectations. Walnuts were overpowering and cake was bland. The positive was the cake was very moist and the texture was smooth and velvety, but with no taste what so ever. Disappointed for sure read more

The only thing I am bummed about is that I have over near this place for so long without knowing about it! My introduction to this place was when I wanted to order a special birthday cake for myself-something with chocolate and raspberries. Wowza, did she deliver! I'm still dreaming of that cake. After that I noticed she does some lunch and breakfast items so I have ordered lunch takeout a couple of times. The pierogi are sooo delicious, and they remind me of my late grandmother's. read more

I ordered a lemon poppyseed cake for a 90th birthday party. It looked beautiful. The icing was wonderful but the cake was awful. It was very dense, dry, and crumbled. I sent photos and an email to Janina's the next day. I did not request a refund and I was polite. I was just disappointed I served such a terrible cake at a landmark and special family birthday. I never received any response from Janina's. read more
