Great bakery. Friendly staff that goes out of there was to help. The cannolis are the best in the area.

I flew in for my relative's 101st birthday. Since she is in a care center I decided on the cake pops, thinking they would be easier for the residents. That worked out well. Except for one gentleman, everyone enjoyed them. A few people even asked for seconds. My one change would be to not have sprinkles put on them. The sprinkles got on their clothing (I sure hope the pink and purple sprinkles washed out of the white sweater one lady wore) and all over the floor. When the workers saw Minooka they brightened up. They told me Minooka is th lubbock the best! read more

Minooka Pastry Shop - Cake pops from Minooka Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

If you book your wedding through Constantino's Catering and Events, your wedding cake is included in your package from Minooka. We've been going to Minooka for birthday cakes for years and were thrilled to discover this while booking our wedding. The decorators matched our vision perfectly and it was delivered on time with care. It was also delicious as always. Yummy cake and great buttercream. I highly recommend Minooka to order birthday cakes from if you want to support a local business vs. the grocery store, well worth it. read more

I should just buy stock in this bakery! It's our GO TO place for birthday cakes, Lucious pastry, cake pops that are SUPER !!! Love it here !! read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. I understand it's Fat Tuesday- an incredible busy day for bakeries. The woman working has been a miserable worker since I'm a little kid. Just because the pastries are good doesn't mean the workers have to be nasty. read more

Favorite bakery! Also extremely gluten free friendly. Everything is always delicious. Just got my birthday cake from there. I love it! read more

The food was excellent and so were the prices. Fantastic variety of options from cookies, pastries, cakes, gluten free and all. The ambiance was nice. The reason I gave this review a 4 star was due to the staff not being friendly. I understand it's the holidays and everyone is busy. However, a little bit of kindness can go a long way. read more

The lemon blueberry cake & cupcakes are my favorite. There's always a great lineup of pastries, too. The carrot cake cupcake is huge and basically a slice of cake. read more

The best pastry in the valley! The cookies are delicious too!!! They are always up to date on the upcoming holidays... Very nice staff!! read more

Ordered seven dozen cookies for a get together. We enjoyed all of the different ones, but I truly enjoyed the Coconut Macaroons. Never disappointed. read more

What a treat for this area. Purchased pies, cookies, pastries, and cake for the holiday season. All delicious! Will be back again and again.

The cookies were great, the apple turnover was fantastic, the strawberry pastry was wonderful, the raspberry creamy puff thingy was great, and the eclair was a little stale but the cream inside was good! I went right in around 145 and they were bringing out a whole set of fresh baked goods, so I would suggest go first thing in the morning or around 2 PM for fresh pastries! read more

Terrible customer service and over charges on a specialty cake that is done wrong. They don't take responsibility for their screw up.

This family-owned business has a nice selection of freshly baked goods, such as cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and macarons. They also have a nice freezer filled with gluten-free specialties. My family enjoyed the baked treats and would stop in if we were in the area, but would not make a special trip for them. The bakery sold some Italian specialties, such as ricotta and anise cookies, but we found them to be lacking authentic flavors and tasted more like a simple and plain box mix. Authentic Italian treats usually use a lot of fresh, natural ingredients and we found these to taste a bit artificial with a lot of sugar in the colored icings, which smothered the flavors. read more

They made us a beautiful engagement cake. It was not only beautiful it was so good! We also got the pastries the macaroons are delish!!!! I am happy they are doing our wedding cake. read more

I stopped in to grab a carrot cake and apple turnovers. The cake tasted great and wasn't dry. Apple turnovers had a great tasting filling. I like flakier turnovers but theirs were baked well. Fast and friendly service too. There is an unpacked lot next to the shop for parking which was convenient. Will definitely stop in again to try some other things. read more

I got my wedding cake for my micromony from Minooka's and it was perfect! We got a cheesecake for 12 people and it was decorated to match our inspiration photo. Not only was the cheesecake absolutely delicious, but Minooka's was such a pleasure to work with! I ordered the cake just a few weeks before the wedding and Minooka's even delivered the cake to the restaurant after our ceremony. That was huge for me because we had so much going on that day; it would have been extra stress to go pick it up. I am not from the area (my husband is) and I called many local pastry and cake shops that either wouldn't deliver such a small wedding cake or didn't make cheesecakes. I am so glad I found Minooka's! Thank you! read more

Look no further, this place is the best. Their cakes are lovingly created, beautiful, and delicious. I just had a yummy, light and airy vanilla wedding cake last night, nothing short of perfect. I've also had a few other cakes on other occasions and have always been impressed. Insider secret: they also make a stunningly delicious gluten free cake if you have dietary restrictions. I swear I wouldn't know the difference if I wasn't told I'd been eating a gluten free cake. It was still light and yummy. The cakes are always a win. I've also had their cookies- totally delicious. Definitely try them if you haven't. The best part for me was meeting the owner and the staff- truly wonderful people who are so caring and talented at what they do. It's a top notch establishment. ...I hope you love visiting the bakery as much as I do!! read more

Super friendly, fast service, tasty cakes and macaroon bites place. They made a really beautiful Rosette cake for the daughter's 1st birthday cake smash photo session. Thank you so much Minooka Pastry. read more

We got our wedding cake here in October 2020 and it was an amazing experience. We are both new to the Scranton area, so we went to a few different bakeries in the city, and the choice was obvious because we were in love with Minooka Pastry Shop. The cake samples, and our actual cake on our wedding day, was delicious. The icing was delicious. Everything was flavorful, without being too sweet, everything was so light and fluffy. And the cake was decorated beautifully, and was exactly what we asked for. We will be coming here for now on for all our baking needs read more

The anise and pepper cookies are some of the best Italian cookies available in the NEPA area. All of their pastries are pretty good but the Italian cookies are what causes the car to beer to the right on any trip towards Moosic. read more

I really like their pepper cookies and cake brownies, but the other offerings miss the mark. The cakes used to be among my favorite, but something has changed over the years and I can take them or leave them. read more

Minooka did our wedding cake/cupcakes. Everything was exactly how we wanted. We chose 4 different flavors. We tried them all during our tasting, and they were delicious! A lot of our guests complimented them. The cupcake tower looked awesome. On top was our little cake to cut. Minooka put red stitching on it to make it look like a baseball, just like we asked since we did a baseball themed wedding. It turned out perfect. Prior to the wedding, we gave Minooka our cake topper, Yankees/Red Sox cupcake liners, and a flavor sign that I made. Everything was right where it was supposed to be at our wedding. Thanks for helping make our special day awesome! read more

Have been going to the bakery for many years and it never disappoints. The owners are very considerate and always try to make sure each the order is done right. Easily the best cakes in Scranton. read more

My family experienced the worst customer service today on an Easter weekend to boot. My 77 year old mother stopped by to pick up a pastry tray that was already paid for. The cashier informed her there was a $1.35 balance. She didn't have any money on her and advised the clerk that she would have to go home to get the $1.35...which was overcharged! The cashier said "ok we'll put this aside for you then". A half hour later, my mother returned with the $1.35 and paid the overcharge. When she got home, the platter was short by 2 pastries!!! In the process of this unbelievably poor judgement on behalf of Minooka Pastry Shop, my mother, whom is friendly with many people locally, ran into a few prominent customers of the shop while there. They were abhorred by what happened! I am posting this because me, along with many of my family, have patronized this shop for many years. Every one of our family members and friends have found this incident today to be unacceptable. We will no longer be patronizing this business. read more

They make the Best Pagash pizza the crust is delicious!!! ( I believe they only make it during lent ) I have tried a lot of their pasty's and have never been unsatisfied but it's something about that crust on their Pagash pizza that is out of this world! read more

Minooka Pastry Shop is a step away from Moosic In Scranton, Pa 5 minutes from SNO Mountain, This review is based on what I tried. The Cheese Cannoli was very good with a crisp shell and ricotta cheese filling complimented with mini chocolate chips at the ends. The Pepper Cookie was interesting. Appears to specialize in wedding cakes. read more

Ordered a birthday cake for my mom this weekend - delicious! Wish there was a little bit more of the raspberry mousse filling but otherwise can't complain! The chocolate cake was moist, delicious and the buttercream frosting was out of the park fantastic. Overall presentation/ decoration of the cake was beautiful. My mom (and the rest of us) loved it! Love this bakery - have been enjoying it's delicious homemade baked goods since I was a little girl. Peanut butter danish and all of the other handmade danish/lafayettes are my favorites! Great memories - thank you! read more

Minooka Bakery used to be one of the best bakeries in the Scranton area, but I feel their quality has gone down hill in the past few years. Their cakes are a bit dry, the icing is not the greatest, and their breads seem previously frozen. The products here are not bad, but they are not what they used to be. I would recommend National or Linden Bakery for the best baked goods in the area! read more

Loved this place and anytime I was going home my family would beg for me to bring them goodies. They have a great selection but you need to go early to get the best! My number one favorite was the cheese Danish, there is no other like it. Their cheese is not as sweet as most but so good. All of their Danish flavors are good, blueberry, raspberry, apple, cheese and cherry. The also have doughnuts and paczki's at special times of the year with great fillings. Their butter cookies are also yummy. This is a great little bakery! read more

I went here on Christmas Eve to pick up a pie and some pastries for family. I had heard wonderful things about their pies and cookies, so I was looking forward to some tasty confections. The confections (cake pop, pie) did not let me down. However, my boyfriend and I were giggling, but one young woman (early 20's) threatened to make us leave. "Enough, or leave," she said. I guess she had a stick up her butt but I haven't been spoken to like that since I was 10! read more

Very good cookies, cupcakes are decent too. Service is really good, and plenty of parking.

Saw their sign and wanted something sweet at the moment. Bought an apple turnover, it wasn't too sweet. Best turnover!

For the past 2 years, I've been living in California so since I can't be home to celebrate my families birthdays, special occasions, or special occasions, I always order and have the bakery deliver cakes to my family. This past Friday was the second time that I placed an order over the phone and had the wrong cake delivered. When my dad sent the picture of the cake he received, I was embarrassed and perturbed. I called the bakery and the owner did not listen to me, the customer, and how upset I was. I live 3000 miles away and I was hoping that the bakery would be a part of helping me create a special moment for my dad on his birthday. My sister and mom had to go in to the bakery with the cake and had to explain to Tina, the FOH employee, what happened. She was great and exchanged the cake for us but not once did the owner come out to apologize. I am thoroughly upset with the customer service I have received and am sad to say, I will no longer be ordering my cakes from the bakery. read more
