    Yellow cake
    Tiffany Y.

    Minerva Bakery has operated for almost 100 years! Their menu lists desserts such as cakes, cookies, and rolls. Prices are reasonable. My family members are originally from McKeesport, and they have been buying desserts from Minerva for probably decades. They particularly love the cakes, and they often bring the cakes to family get-togethers. Recently, for a birthday party, we bought a chocolate cake and a yellow cake from Minerva. The cakes were moist and flavorful, and the icings were very sweet. The icing on the chocolate cake did fall off, but maybe we just were not careful enough with transporting the cake. A few weeks later, for a party at my house, a family member bought two more cakes--yellow and chocolate--from Minerva. The icing somehow fell off one side of the chocolate cake (that side is not shown in my photo). I enjoyed the flavor of the yellow cake, and I did not try the chocolate cake. I think that these cakes are good but not my all-time favorite.

    Cinnamon roll

    This bakery is a true diamond in the rough. Their raisin bread is delicate and just the right amount of sweet. The chocolate dipped chocolate chip cookies are another favorite of ours. We recently tried their cinnamon rolls for the first time, and they lived up to the high expectations that I have for Minerva goods. It seems like you can't go wrong with anything baked here. If you're in the area, or even if you're not, this place is definitely worth a stop.

    McKeesport local bakery!

    Local bakery one of only a few left in the East area of Pittsburgh. So much better than local grocery store bakeries. I enjoy supporting local bakeries. Secret little gem in McKeesport !! Cookies,cakes and pies Oh My !! Lite and fluffy sugary delight. Almond forte cupcake !! The Delicious raspberry filled cupcake was wonderful!! Highly recommend!! Support, must try and Enjoy !!

    We stopped by on a sat morning and this place was bustling! The street was pretty quiet, so there was plenty of street parking. They didn't have a lot of breakfast options, mostly just donuts and danishes. There were quite a few kinds of each though. I tried their cheese danish, and it was delightful. The staff was friendly and the service was prompt. Donuts and danishes aren't my favorite breakfast items, but my danish was pretty yummy.

    See all

    Fantastic! I have used their bakery for years when lived in Pittsburgh. I was there visiting, and of course had to stop by.

    The last of a dying breed. This place has been here for generations. Some of the best bread and cakes you could ask for
