Whenever I crave something sweet, I head to Merritt's for their mouthwatering thumbprint cookies, a tradition that's been a part of my life for over 20 years, and I feel grateful to have a bakery like Merritt's in Tulsa that consistently exceeds my expectations. From my teenage years to my wedding day, this bakery will always have a special place in my heart. read more

We always order holiday or special event cakes for family. Always fabulous in taste and looks!

Cons: I know a lot of people like this business. I'm not a fan. I have bought many expensive cakes from this place and it's really not worth it. I've tried pies. I can make better at home. The cookies aren't great. Pros: Breakfast rolls are OK. They typically have good customer service. read more

My experience with ordering and receiving a certain "Tres Leches" cake from Merrit's Riverside was already reviewed based on service, cake appearance, and facility cleanliness. However I now feel that I have to review the Cake itself. I personally had never experienced a Tres Leches Cake but I had read up on and received accounts from friends and family on what to expect. My Daughter, her fiance, and my future in-laws were expected a moist milky cake with amazing flavors. Instead it appears that We received was a vanilla cake, with whipped cream icing, and fruit on top. The cake was dry in areas with barely any flavor at all. This is my 3rd cake from Merrit's Riverside this year, at the request of my wife, because she says the cakes "were good there before" and we want to support the local community but no longer. For nearly $100 I would expect the cake to be what it should have been. You could have fooled me because I'm Irish but you can't fool the in-laws who are Latino. read more

I come here often...it's bad. You need to see what I bought this week...SO cool. Merritt's has an array of really good stuff. I mean, delicious donuts, cinnamon rolls, apple streusels, slices of your favorite decadent desserts, and whole cakes and pies. For the sugar addicts, this is the go-to. I'm famous at work for bringing in the sweet treats. I head here once a week, and grab a freshly brewed coffee. Life's good. Look what I got this week I know...cute? Right??!! read more

Merritt’s Bakery - Nutella chocolate succulents. $2.50. I made their day! - Bakeries Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Pros: service is typically quick and kind. The shop itself is quaint and has pretty display of the baked goods. Cons: the baked goods are average, nothing super impactful in terms of taste and texture. I've had baked goods here in the past with summer library coupons and wasn't impressed. May satisfy your sweet tooth but otherwise not fabulous. Tried the sausage & cheese kolache, and the bread is good, but overall not great. If you've ever been to kolache factory in Houston, TX, this breakfast roll may be disappointing. read more

My fiancee was born & raised in Tulsa. She also passed away very suddenly & unexpectedly. She & her family had been loyal customers for decades. Today I called them(I live out of state)as I have done in the past to place an order. I was going to pay for an assortment of Valentine's Day cookies & have my sister-in-law pick them up. I was told that because it was a holiday, they would not take a phone order. I just decided that they don't need or deserve our business. ***Response to LM Merritt's reply to my original post above: I DID very politely explain the situation to the young lady who answered the phone. I told her my fiancée's nephew is only 6 years old & misses his Aunt Sissy & now he wouldn't get a Valentine's Day cookie from her. So yes, I did explain & I also asked to speak with a manager & she said the manager would simply reiterate the same policy & hung up. Great job repaying decades of loyalty.*** read more

Can't go wrong with Merritt's! Staff are always friendly and able to recommend items. If you get a chance to try breakfast do it! They have a whole selection of sandwiches and other hot breakfast items. My favorite pastry right now has got to be the almond croissant. The donuts are always good and so are the cookies. I always seem to get a craving when they are closed! read more

Merritt’s Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

We were flying back from San Antonio to Tulsa on my wife's birthday, so I called Merritt's Bakery a day or two ahead of time and arranged to have them make and deliver a Lemon Raspberry Cake to the hotel where we were spending the night in Tulsa. I believe the lady I spoke to on the phone was Kim or Kay. She was extremely pleasant and really helpful. She took my order and answered all my questions and really made me feel like a valued customer. As for the cake itself. WOW! My wife (and everyone else who had some), loved it! The sponge was moist and flavorful with just the right amount of lemon to give it some tang but not make it astringent. You then add in the raspberry layers and the raspberry frosting which perfectly balanced the lemon and you have one amazing cake. We have some good cake shops in North West Arkansas but as good as this cake was next time I need a good cake there is a good chance I will consider the near 2 hour drive to Tulsa to get a cake from Merritt's! read more

Nice local bakery. They had some unique seasonal items the day I was there that looked good as well. Only issue I had was it seemed understaffed as I was there to get 2 premade cakes on the shelf & it took 10min to check out. (Should've been literally grab & go). Worth stopping by though. read more

Let's start with the service. Dreadful. Cookie selection is pedestrian. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, snicker doodle, M&M'S - bland, boring. They had a bunch of cakes and pies in the display case. There were cupcakes and donuts. I'm thinking that all of this stuff that other reviewers write about is removed right before I walk in. They see me coming and out comes the garbage. A yeast donut should be light, fluffy, not dense and gooey. I tried a cupcake and it was average at best. I think Bird Bakery in Texas is better than Sprinkles, so when I compare the texture of the crumb as well as the frosting, this is what I'm comparing it to. It may be unfair but the cupcake should be better than a supermarket. It's not, probably on par. read more

The bacon & chive scones and the white curry cake are, by themselves, well worth the drive up to Tulsa! The hot cross buns are tasty and not too sweet -- just as they should be. Terrific staff -- helpful, friendly, and eager to assist. Five easy stars! read more

I got a Chocolate Turtle cake from Merritt's for my wife's birthday. It was incredible. I had heard they made good cakes but this knocked it out of the ball park. It was also huge. We had 20 people over and after the had some, there was still almost half left over. This is going to be my go-to for birthday cakes for sure. read more

It's great to have a decent pastries store in the south riverside / Jenks area. The needs are great in that neighborhood for sure. This place is clean and always busy. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I was gonna buy just a few pastries to satisfy my wife's craving but I ended up with 2 large boxes. Well, they look so darn good and have so many options to choose from! We have tried quite a few of the pastries by now, what we like are the most (5 stars) are the bacon chive scone, tiramisu, wedding cookie and caramel topping with coconut thumbprint. The 4 stars ones are 7 layers bar, lemon poppyseed muffin, cannoli, pecan sandies cookie, sugar cookie. What we don't care too much are the lemon bar because the lemon curd isn't tart enough, too doughy and the crust is not buttery at all. Black forest cake was just so-so, not memorable in my book. read more

Actually, If I could give a ZERO star rating I would. Service, fine, I guess. Baked goods...NO, NO, NO and will NEVER go back. Ordered a cake, completely and totally MOLDED. Ruined the whole bday party. NEVER again Merrits. None of your lactations, too many other choices to be dealing with molded cake. read more

Amazing selection of sweets for your entire day. Great selection of morning doughnuts, lunch time eclair, evening cake or pie, can't wait to return , loved this place, highly recommended read more

Everyone knows Merritt's has amazing baked goods! I'm hear to brag on the consistently great service. In a pinch? They can help. I've not spent any time in the bakery actually eating, it's usually a quick pick up, but the bakery cases are packed and beautiful, read more

Maybe I didn't try something that they were good at, but the snickerdoodle cookie was a miss. It was on the dry and crispy side, about on par with a mass produced cookie from Walmart. read more

Please know that Merritt's Bakery always puts a smile on people's faces!!! Now that Valentines has come and gone, they have magnificent sweets lined up for St Patrick's Day in addition to their superb pies, cakes, doughnuts and cookies. Whether you are having a good day or a bad one, drop into one of the Merritt's locations to make your day!!! Respectfully, Wyatt M. read more

We went in for the first time to their donuts on Valentine's Day and they tasted like they've been sitting there for 3-5 days. We each ordered 2 donuts. read more

The photo I posted is all I need to say for this. LOL it was so good, and the frosting was frosty OH NO I paid for it too much and I started fighting with the cashier and an old lady fell out of her car in the parking lot and I threw her walker on her body. She dead lol anyways loved this cake. -Bart Cornick read more

Merritt’s Bakery - IN LOVE WITH THIS WHITE CURRY CAKE - Bakeries Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Wanted to try out another bakery place in Tulsa so went with this one. Wasn't too impressed. They did have a wide selection of treats (pies, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, bars, brownies, etc). I got a few of their Christmas decorated sugar cookies and a gingerbread cookie. The decorated sugar cookies had WAY too much frosting on them. The ratio of cookies to frosting was way off. The cookie was too thin and too crunchy. All you could really taste was sugary frosting. And the gingerbread cookie was almost stale tasting and had no flavor. Not very much frosting on this one compared to the sugar cookies. I was a bit sad about this cause I really wanted to like this place! So many options and it actually all looked delicious but it just didn't deliver for me... I'd possibly give it another try and get a cake or pie or something different than a cookie. read more

I usually order my cakes ahead but this time bought a cake out of the case on Tuesday to serve a group that evening, as they had been closed Sunday-Monday. It was a chocolate round cake with whipped cream in between layers. I noticed it was dry when I began eating it but was hoping it was just me. Unfortunately none of my guests finished their cake. It was just so bad. Very disappointing. I asked the manager if the cakes were baked fresh daily, and he said yes. No way it was baked Tuesday morning, I think this one had been sitting for 2-3 days. Even at that it shouldn't have been that dry. When I finally decided to call to nicely let them know (not asking for any reimbursement), all I got was "I'll let them know" from the manager. No apology. After years of being a loyal customer I think I'm done. I can get a better cake at Whole Foods. The young lady who sold it to me was the only bright spot. read more

Very enjoyable environment. Friendly, helpful staff, tons of fresh baked items, short but sufficient lunch menu, and custom cakes can be ordered. Large inside area with a handful of tables. But there is still plenty of seating as most folks seem to get their orders to go. Very good, fresh bread for the lunch sandwiches and you get a piece of cake with your order. How can you pass that up? Give it a try, I think you'll like it. Enjoy! read more

Stopped by on a trip to Tulsa. They had a very nice selection even later in the day. Everything the family had was enjoyed very much.

If you're ever in Tulsa and looking for something sweet this is the place for you. Traveled up from OKC and looking for somewhere to eat and ran into Merritt's. Didn't go for lunch, even though they do have sandwiches etc. as the group we had would have been a bit much, toddlers and 9 of us however something sweet after everyone was in. From pastries, doughnuts, cookies, cakes, pies, and even croissants this is a must stop. Cherry filled doughnut check, Almond croissant check, vanilla, blueberry, cherry macaroons check, chocolate eclair check and this was just the 3 in my group. Mini key lime pie, sugar cookies, cake pops from my daughters family. The list goes on my regret not taking pictures before everything was gone but trust me it was all fantastic. The bad thing is they're a couple hours away or maybe that's good because I'd definitely be there 3+ times a week! read more

Always fresh, excellent quality, and huge! Their service is courteous, fast, and always helpful.

So they have really good pastries, but I ordered a birthday cake about two weeks ago and I had 20 people at my birthday party and every single person decided to pass on the cake. There was this chemically taste in the cake and it tasted like the lowest grade ingredients I've ever tasted. I was so surprised because merits has such a good rapport with deliciousness. It did look beautiful though. I don't know if they changed the ingredients they use but I could never go there for a birthday cake unless they changed what tasted so fake in it. Don't get me wrong I still go there for pastries just not suggesting cake making. One of the little girls at the party said it just taste to Chalky. read more

Merritt's is a Tulsa institution and they know it. Their cakes, cookies, and pies are good. Their donuts are ok. Unfortunately, at this location it's the friendliness of the service that is always lacking. Wether they are rude to you or someone else in line I've seen it the last few time we have been here. I'm happy to take my business somewhere else where they appreciate their customers and make good food. While Merritt's may be an institution there are plenty of better bakery and customer experiences. read more

Merritt's South Tulsa location is just as impressionable as the original. I actually preferred the South location. It was a little cleaner and the workers were friendlier. Merritt's is great because they have everything laid out in front of you in their glass cases. Whether its a breakfast sandwich, pastry, donut, or dessert item, I've never been let down. Check them out for a quick breakfast or dessert. read more

I was an out of town-er hosting a bridal shower in which none of the bridesmaids offered to help. Thankfully, Merritt's came to the rescue. The bakery is HUGE and looks brand new. They have a separate room for wedding cakes and a separate room for parties, or as their website says, Bible studies. The main room has tons and tons of seating and at least five large pastry cases. I dealt with Kim and she was great. She helped me get everything in order from long distance and even made suggestions. I ended up getting a breakfast tray (with delish danishes) and cupcakes. They were super cute, iced in white with purple flowers and two sliver linked wedding bands. They tasted great too, although a little sugary. My only disappointment was the lack of communication the day of. I had to continually go out and ask for things like knives, cream cheese, cups, etc. And I had asked for the food to arrive at 10:00. They said it would be there on the truck at 10:30 (I guess they don't make it there?) and I had to go ask for it at 10:50 when my guests started arriving. The other bummer....I found a hair in my cupcake. I took the hairy cupcake and the ladies apologized and offered me another one, which was nice. But....ew. Overall, while the pace of everything here differs from my bakeries in Chicago, I was happy with my experience. They don't do 3-D cakes or mini cupcakes and their quotes for flat shaped cakes were pricey even by Chicago standards. But my friend from Tulsa says this is her favorite bakery...and I'm sure if I lived there I would be at Merritt's a lot! read more

3 stars because they do provide decent cupcakes. I ordered 24 "custom" strawberry cupcakes w/ filling at $2.25 each. At the same time I ordered 30 vanilla cupcakes from Sam's at 50 cents each (no filling). For an extra $1.75 per cupcake from Merritt's I received a small squirt of filling in each, and extra frosting on top. My guests couldn't tell the difference in taste between the two (other than the strawberry filling) & most couldn't eat the added frosting because there was simply too much. Bottom line... save your money & go to Sam's, unless paying a 4.5X markup for an item that's not anything special or any better is your thing read more

They made an ADORABLE corgi cake for my birthday, which my boyfriend had called them to make and he surprised me with. He told me that he gave them a photo of my corgi and they matched him, same colors and everything. They are a little on the pricey side, but they're so sweet and kind when I come in. My dad loves the tiramisu which we normally always get from Merritt's for his birthday every year. Definitely a good place to go for sweets! read more

The key lime pie cake was purchased for me for my birthday. It arrived smaller than we all had anticipated. The other cakes were bigger. It was a cute cake. Outside looked pretty, but it was of a strange consistency and flavor. It was almost too tart to eat. It tasted like it was missing something. I think Grand Marnier or Amaretto would have made it edible. I didn't want to be rude and not eat it, but honestly I struggled with every single bite. I'd never order this cake from here again. Queenie's in Utica Square sells a phenomenal key lime cake. read more

I absolutely LOVE this bakery. I've given them my business for 11 years. I moved out of the Tulsa area 7 years ago...I'm 2 hours away now but continue to drive into Tulsa JUST to order cakes. They are always delicious, the staff is wonderful as I usually give them an idea of what I want and let them do whatever they think is best. I've never ever been disappointed. Oh, and their prices are fantastic!!! read more
