Lincoln Bakery, what a disappointment. I came here because they advertise themselves online as a custom bakery. I asked for a piñata cake (literally, a layered cake with a hole in the center filled with something like Reese's Pieces). Lady said they didn't have any. Fair enough. I asked her how much to custom build one. She said there was no amount of money that could convince her to make such a cake for me absent approval of bakery ownership. I was shocked. There wasn't a line. And I wasn't needing to be picky. I said, look, just cut a hole in this existing cake, I'll provide the Reese's, and then cover the hole back up with icing or whatever. Nope. There's wasn't enough money in the world that could convince her to sell me such a cake. Maybe their stuff tastes good, but I'll never know. If you want a custom cake, go somewhere else. read more

Best prices and lots of variety. Yes they are a bit rough around the edges but they are all nice and helpful. Always willing to answer questions. Best icing and the Danish is the best EVER read more

Everything is soooooo sweet. Who puts icing on dutch apple pie? Tiramisu was awesome! read more

Great bakery I drive out of my way for their meringue pie! Holiday cookies are to die for.

I was a fan of the bakery until a recently incident I handle events at my job and I ordered a few small cakes for a work function. When I placed the order over the phone, I was asked to provide a deposit because of the price.. ok no problem so I did. So when I picked up the cakes I paid the balance but when I got back to the office realized I didn't receive a receipt for the deposit for my expenses. Ok no big deal it happens. I called the bakery and at first it was explained to me that it was from a different register and it will be emailed to me. I was told by email that the receipt would be emailed - but never was. I have sent several emails as a follow up even a reply from the first email - even asking for just emailing indicating the charge. I was completely blown off and never heard back after several attempts. Phone calls and emails just for a simple receipt even an email would have been enough! I would have settled for just an email indicating the charge but they couldn't even provide that. What a production for a simple receipt? I have never in my career have had such an issue getting a simple receipt or response even? I would rather patronize another bakery for events that has their act together. Theres plenty in Pittsburgh people ... read more

I'd give this a true 3.5, but am rounding up in good faith. I walked in to get an iced cake for a going away party. I knew I might have to sacrifice quality because I didn't place a call-ahead order. The cake was delicious--icing was creamy and not too sweet. I was happy there were about 5 different pre-made cakes I could choose from: vanilla, chocolate and marble in pink, blue and green styles. Workers were friendly and helpful. (Lady said the burnt almond torte was a customer favorite so I'll be back to try!) What I was disappointed with was the icing job. Felt like I could have done a better job with spacing and lettering than the worker who helped me. She may have been inexperienced but I expect someone working at a bakery to at least be able to write the basics. Feel like it ruined an otherwise lovely cake. There was a wide selection of cookies, cakes (large and individual sizes) and fresh-baked donuts. I'll be back to try more from this local bakery, just be wary about getting cakes iced on the spot! read more

Lincoln Bakery - Disappointed with the icing job on this walk-in cake order. - Bakeries Near Me - Bellevue, Pennsylvania

This is the cake from my sisters wedding on Friday. It was delicious. All our guests on zoom wanted a piece.

My new favorite stop. If you like carrot cake this is certainly the place to try and you will not be disappointed! Truthfully, I did not know what to expect during my first visit but everything I have purchased since then has been fresh and satisfying. read more

A 3.5 really. Best cake, buttercream icing is the best anywhere! I stop for doughnuts a few times a month . The quality of product makes up for the quality of service. I called once when a young girl gave me the wrong product, and it was replaced. I didn't bother the next two times. I've also had the wrong order when it came to ordering dinner rolls. An apathetic, "I'll let the girls know to be more careful" was the response when I said I was given 2 dozen poppyseed rolls instead of the 2 dozen mix I ordered. Cookies and bread are not as spectacular, stick to the cake and pastries served as perfect single servings. They are perfect! I would have easily given this a 5 as I'm a big fan, but I have been given the wrong pie or dinner rolls one too many times by someone who had a frown in their face. read more

Just one of the Best "True" Bakeries left in this city! From the cakes to the nut bread, take the time out don't go to the Grocery store go to Lincoln Bakery! read more

Great product. We tried a few things. I liked their thumbprint cookies. I enjoyed the cheesecake as well. I loved the lemon and I tried the raspberry as well. Both were light with flavors that burst fourth, a flavor firework in your mouth. The hubby got a bevy of different items which he enjoyed and liked it all. It was delightful. The only thing I didn't like was their line system. It is very confusing and disorganized bit I would certainly go back! Itbwas quite good! read more

I placed an order for a customized birthday cake two days ahead of time and was told to send an email including a photo of how the cake should look. I spoke to them and went over the details; it was supposed to be Royal Blue and Lincoln Bakery confirmed they could accommodate my request. The pick-up time was for 4:30 Saturday, September 5th. When I went to pick up the cake the color was Teal Blue instead of Royal Blue and it didn't resemble the cake in the photo in any way. In addition, the employee was very rude and said I had to take the cake "as is" or they would throw it in the trash. The cake was $80 and no discount was offered, nor an offer to make changes to the cake. They suggested I pay for it and complain to the manager on Tuesday, September 8th. When I asked for their names they refused and confirmed no concern if I wrote a review. The establishment has been our family bakery for over 30 years, and I've never been treated so rudely before. Lastly, I was told if I wasn't purchasing the cake "as is" I needed to leave the bakery, and so I left. read more

In one word, unbelievable. Their cakes are incredibly delicious. Despite the 20 minute trip from my house, I purchase all my cakes from here. The cakes are incredibly moist and the butter cream icing is just the right amount of sweet. My favorite cake is a yellow cake with FUDGE icing (not chocolate but FUDGE)!! I've also had the raspberry filling and would recommend that as well. They are incredibly creative with their decorating of the cakes including wedding cakes but if you want something specialized (nonstandard icing, etc) be sure to call ahead and place your order in advance. Warning: Saturday mornings you will surely encounter a very, very long line whether picking up your order or just swinging by for some goodies. Even better than their cakes are their petit-fours (chocolate with chocolate icing or white with vanilla icing). I've ordered them for bridal showers or just stopped by to pick one up for myself. They are the perfect size for one person (if you aren't on a diet). They do sell out of these so place an order ahead of time if you want a large order or stop by early in the morning to make sure you can get them. I've gotten cookies from here and they were average. I think this is the best bakery in the Burgh for cakes but not necessarily all other pastries and breads. The only reason I didn't rate the bakery 5 stars is their customer service which is borderline horrific. They are never friendly and whether you are calling to place an order or standing at the counter, they just want to get the order taken and move on to the next person in line. The cakes are good enough that I put up with the service but be forewarned. read more

I've loved the Lincoln Bakery for all 17 years I have lived in Pittsburgh. Each year on my birthday I stop in for a personal sized carrot cake. Everyone that I have met here has been friendly and helpful when I needed assistance. The donuts are fresh, cookies sugary and delicious plus I recently bought an entire carrot cake for a friend. It was the hit of the party, except for the birthday guy of course! Keep up the good work Lincoln Bakery! read more

Krispy Creme? Grocery store cakes? Git ahta tahn.... when it comes to donuts, pastries, and cakes they don't hold a wisk to Lincoln Bakery in Bellevue (or most Western PA bakeries for that matter). Their cakes hit the top of my list (with Edy's downtown coming in second). The batter is light and moist while the icing is smooth -- not too sweet - not too 'lardy'. By all means, feel free to give them a decorating challenge as their peeps got mad skillz. In my experience, Pittsburgh natives don't seem to realize how good their sweet tooths have it here, till they move away. So, when I travel westward for the holidays I bring some Lincoln Bakery sweets along. I highly recommend their Burnt Almond Torte with either custard or lemon filling for nearly any occasion. I get these for corporate gatherings often and they always go over well - and you know what they say about trying to please everyone! I'd suggest giving them a few days to a weeks notice as they keep pretty busy. (As a side note: though I rave about their donuts, pastries, and cakes.... for cookies I'd recommend Moi's Italian Bakery in Monroeville). read more

Love,love,love Lincoln Bakery! My absolute favorite is the chocolate pudding cake. It comes with mounds of chocolate shavings on top. They also gave fantastic carrot cake and cheese cakes. Always something delicious in the pastry counter. The seasonal cakes are always so creative and fun to look at in the window. The staff there is pretty great as well. Especially Dottie. She's been there for years and is always so kind. read more

I ordered a cake for a baptism. I did a search on the best tasting cake around Pittsburgh and after reading reviews, Lincoln bakery was the one we had to try. I called them a week ahead, they told me the design they would do and after seeing some pictures on their Facebook page I trusted it will work out so I went ahead and ordered it. It was a big hit! Some of my family members were getting seconds. The cake wasn't too sweet and the icing not too "buttery". I will have to say that next time I need a cake I will order from this bakery, and maybe try some of the other things they carry in their store. read more

I love this bakery! They have the BEST burnt almond torte. Yes, even better than Prantls! The cake us softer and moist than Prantls and cheaper. They also have other amazing goodies and all the prices are very reasonable. read more

I'm so glad I discovered a good bakery close to my apartment. I've enjoyed everything I've gotten here! My favorite is their raspberry cheesecake. They have great hours, good prices, and the staff is very nice and helpful. It's my favorite place to stop in for a treat. read more

Lincoln Bakery is yet another local bakery I've been meaning to try. When a Google Offer came up, I took it so I would have no excuse to keep avoiding it. The place has a nice neighborhood bakery feel; as I took in the many selections it seemed that everyone who came in was a regular. There weren't many people when I was there (it was still relatively early) but I got the impression that at times there can be a line to the door. One thing that I didn't like was although they had many pastries to choose from, nothing was labeled. So I had to keep asking what things were. The cinnamon roll was okay, nothing spectacular. But the pastries I got were very good. I'd recommend checking it out. I know if I'm ever in the neighborhood I will stop in for a treat myself. read more

I love this bakery! I came here about a month ago and I wish I could come back everyday! I got a donut and I wish I could have tried all the other baked goods. The donut was amazing, I'd get it again. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Had to make a trip to Leetsdale to visit a client and found myself in an area where I struggled to find a place for goodies. A quick yelp search revealed Lincoln Bakery. This place is awesome and it is now saved in my GPS for future stops. Highly recommend. read more

Had fond memories of the crumb cake from years ago... made my way to Lincoln bakery to try the individual crumb cake, it was disappointing. It was dry and really didn't taste that good. I also tried a few other sweets; chocolate chip cookie, peanut butter cookie, vanilla wafer and a chocolate on chocolate cupcake. Nothing was amazing to take me back there... I will say the staff was friendly! read more

My fiancé and I had a cake testing here the other day and we were very pleased with how helpful and knowledgeable the lady was. We came here expecting to taste a slice of cake or two and were pleasantly surprised when they gave us two whole small cakes and didn't charge us for them. The cake was great and the customer service was excellent. read more

Great cupcakes and they cover them in jimmies! Great price and the people are always very patience and kind.

Excellent!! My son's graduation sheet cake was beautiful. Decorated as requested from the picture they were given...it looked better than excepted. Highly recommended. read more

Quite possibly the best bakery in Pittsburgh. It's got everything from the low-end (cookies, cupcakes, donuts) to the high (wedding cakes, tortes, tarts). Make any special or large orders weeks in advance. The tastiest wedding cake I ever sampled was from here: smooth buttercream icing with alternating raspberry and lemon filling in white batter. read more

Got a key lime pie from this place. It was horrid. Icing was stale cake thick, crust was not even crunchy or had taste, and the key lime was weak. Pie looked it it was sitting out for a day or 2. read more

I am only giving Lincoln Bakery one star. because it won't post without it! While their baked goods are on par with other generic bakeries, their service model, well, it leaves a lot to be desired. While most of the staff is friendly enough, there is ONE who goes beyond rude. I won't go into the entirety of my issue with this bakery employee, but I sent a letter to the owner explaining how long we had been customers of the bakery (57 years) , and how I would no longer patronize their establishment because of her rudeness. During covid I frequently this bakery no less than twice a week equals more than $1500 spent during that time. I wanted nothing more than an "I'm sorry for the way you were treated". Nothing more, nothing less. I expected that simple gesture from this owner, I thought he personally understood how to treat people. It's been many months now, time for me to spread the word that if we are to support small businesses in our community then they, in turn, need to be kind, smile, darn it, just be NICE. There are enough other small businesses who DO want my business. Lincoln Bakery, YOU dropped the ball. In a neighborhood that is starting to revive, you'd think that you'd embrace the Mr. Rogers mentality and welcome your customers with recognition and a smile. read more

Yep, go here. It's all good, not overpriced. As I was checking out I noticed the donuts behind the register. Next time.

Best bakery in Pittsburgh! Having grown up in Bellevue I am very familiar with Lincoln. Every cake my family ever purchased has been from here. The icing is delicious. They have very cute cupcakes and themed cakes for holidays as well. The staff is friendly and helpful. I no longer live in Bellevue but still go back to order cakes for any events I have. read more

My daughter CAN'T pass by here without asking to get something. All I can say is you had better bring your sweet tooth!

I picked up my cake Saturday morning as it was very busy and Father's Day weekend. I noticed the employees showing the cakes to the guests that had pickups. Mine had come out wrapped already and I thght to myself why am I not seeing my cake? It was strange but didn't ask because of how busy it was and such, and all these new guidelines as well. I have traveled many times with cakes as I am the one to always bring the cakes to the party. My son is my right hand man that helps me. Regaurldess when I opened the cake it was a mess. I was highly disappointed so I had called. The manager I spoke to wasn't apologetic what so ever didn't offer a solution or anything. She Simply said well u need to email me a picture so I can see it, I cant do anything about it until I see it.! Yea ok it's not about the 25 dollars or a refund at that. Its about your customers. I have worked in the service industry for a long time, guests come back for the service, the ppl, the food and for the professionalism. The customer isn't always right but you should try to have some passion for your job. It was my Dads 60th my brothers 40th so it was a big event. I was really upset about it. She didn't seem to care at all. So when she said well I need a picture the second time that was the end. It's not about the MONEY. I try to support local businesses as much as possible but with this type of management your going to lose loyal customers. I did go there frequently not so much anymore. Will take my business elsewhere and I went there often and my husband. read more

Walk in, take a big sniff and you know it's right! All is delicious, reasonably priced and open late.

Lincoln Bakery makes very delicious donuts, pastries, and desserts. Their bread selection, however, was very limited and upon making our choice the quality of the bread was mediocre. We were also disappointed that many of the things in the shop are not labeled and when the store is busy it can be difficult to find staff to explain what different options are. Still, this should be a go to for a local bakery if you are looking for something sweet. read more

Don't believe the PGH hype about the other places because this place has the best cakes in town!

We got our wedding cake from here and had TONS of compliments on it. It was very delicious. My biggest complaints when it comes to cake, is when it is dried out, but that was definitely not the case here. The icing was phenomenal too. I hate when icing is too sugary and sweet, but once again Lincoln bakery didn't disappoint. Since I currently live in Bellevue, we often times take a walk down here on our Saturday mornings in the warm months to pick out a delicious breakfast treat. We've had their coffee cakes, their donuts, muffins, cinnamon rolls, and plenty of other things. They've all been pretty good. They're never anything out of this world or amazing, but good, solid, bakery products, and since the prices are so wonderful, I really can't complain. Actually, while I'm writing this review, I'm starting to think maybe a walk this coming Saturday is in order for breakfast. mmmmm read more
