I'm a regular customer that comes in at least once a week. So why 3 stars? Because the young ladies at the front are not welcoming or kind. It's usually the same couple of ladies and the only one that is even remotely kind is the taller one. The rest are short and abrasive. I have normally left tips of 15 and 20%, but after today's visit where I bought multiple pastries and coffees, the lady at the register was flat out rude and now I don't know that I'll keep coming in at all. It really is a shame because I love this place.

I was in the area and this place caught my eye because of its cute, full of character exterior. The…read moreBake Shop in Ghent is tucked away and has a wonderful front and side patio/porch to sit on which really made the vibe great. I got in there about 30 minutes before closing so they were pretty cleared out of stuff and they mentioned how they stop serving lunch/sandwhiches 30 minutes before closing so just a heads up on that. The service was great and the two ladies behind the counter were friendly and helpful. It appeared that some of their refrigerated items may be bought for sale and not baked in house but all their baked goods in that case were made by them and had a large selection of baked goods from breads, biscotti, bars, tarts, cakes, and more. it also looks like they offer made to order/custom cakes so that is pretty cool! Although not pictured, we tried several macarons and they had a subtle flavor, nothing overpowering which was nice. We also tried their mini tarts in lemon and cherry, as well as their apple crumble in phyllo dough. This was interesting and I have never seen it wrapped in phyllo dough. We also tried the carrot cake which after unpacking it, I do not believe it was made in house as it was part of the other refrigerated goods. Everything was light and pretty tasty. I would give this place a try if you are in the area as it has a lot of charm and variety of goods so I am sure you can find something you will enjoy!

Quite simply, you cannot go wrong with Tiffany Bakery…read more The selection is outstanding, first of all. Second, the quality is top notch. This is traditional baked selection with multiple signature items. I also deeply appreciate the cost is not overinflated. Many bakeries (especially newer ones) charge A LOT for their items. Not here. I'm always shocked by what a great value this place is. If it's a summer night stop in and grab a cannoli and ice cream, or work with them on a custom cake for an event. They are super sweet in there and are always willing to help. You can tell they really care about their community and their product. I need to go here more!

They also sell slices of cake and lots of pastries which will require future visits!

We tried chocolate, red velvet, and vanilla cake. With Oreo butter cream, cream cheese frosting, chocolate mousse, and chocolate butter cream. The frostings were light and creamy. The cake had a small issue that they fixed right away when we discussed it. They take all feedback to help make the experience better. We even tried their tiramisu, which was excellent as well. All in all I'd recommend them as a bakery and as a wedding dessert place. Angela brought great experience with weddings and helped us get enough cakes without going overboard or breaking our budget.

Wow--this is a quick review to match the quickness of the service…read more I stopped by Breads of Fairlawn this morning, just two days before Christmas. Parking was easy, and the door was wide open when I arrived around 9:00 a.m. The line wasn't too long, which was impressive given the timing. As I waited, I noticed one of the many signs stating cash or check only--uh oh. I rummaged through my purse and managed to come up with $8.00. Whew! Just enough for what I was hoping for: a loaf of sourdough. I love sourdough. Mine was a complete failure back when everyone else mastered it during the COVID era. Since my husband is gluten-free, bread has mostly disappeared from our home, and when I do buy it, I usually choose small half-loaves for the freezer. But with Christmas here, I decided to treat myself to a full, good-tasting loaf--and I found exactly that. The sourdough loaf was $7.00, and they offered to slice it at no extra charge. I was also offered samples (which I happily accepted). I tried the Parmesan-crusted onion bread and immediately understood the hype. The crust was chewy, the cheese flavorful, and there was a subtle onion finish--perfect for snacking on the way home without dipping into my new loaf. Once home, I tried the sourdough. The end piece is always my favorite test bite, and it did not disappoint. The shop itself is cozy but efficient, easy to get in and out of, and conveniently located near Route 18. The aroma of fresh bread was divine, and the staff was fun, friendly, and incredibly helpful--even with the steady flow of customers picking up holiday goodies. I also learned they accept Venmo and Zelle, which is great to know for next time. They even offered me a calendar of their daily bread specials, and I noticed that sourdough is one of their regular daily offerings--very good to know. I'm really looking forward to going back.

The line would be out the door all day that they're open if so. These sweet treats are properly salted. The recipes are reliably followed. The aesthetics are consistent.

Seating is limited because it is a small location but they had a few seats in the front window. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions about the Gluten free options and coffee.

My personal favorite is the Red Velvet cupcake (and…read moreon that note, please make them more often, Pandora's!), but the mint chocolate and wedding cupcakes are also family faves. The Akron location has a super convenient drive thru, and they post their daily flavors each morning on their Facebook page, so you know before you go what there is to choose from. As is normal for a shop like this, they will close early if they sell out, so if you're planning to go later in the day you should call ahead to make sure they still have cupcakes!

Terrible, terrible service…read more I went into the store, midday, and was the only customer in the place. I had my infant daughter in her car seat with me. The single employee there was quite rude to me, and seemed very annoyed that I was there. I placed my order, and got very short answers from the employee. Again, it seemed as if this employee was annoyed I was even there. I didn't see the employee was his hands. He didn't wear gloves or use tongs/tissue paper to pick out my items- just bare hands. When it was time to pay, I inserted my card into the machine. The machine must've been acting up, as the transaction was taking a bit longer than normal. The employee said "I CANNOT LET YOU LEAVE UNTIL THE MERCHANT RECEIPT PRINTS." Ok, I understand the importance of receipts. However, those choice of words were a big issue to me. "I cannot let you leave" can be very triggering to some people. Like holding someone hostage... Not great customer service. Once the receipt printed, I asked the employee if the store had any bags (to help carry my two boxes.) The employee quickly said nope, turned around and walked away (maybe into the kitchen) out of my sight. He didn't say thank you or bye or anything. The whole reason I was asking for a bag was bc I had to carry both boxes as well as my daughter in her car seat out the door. It was hard to juggle it and keep the store door open. It would've been nice had the employee offered help- but he quickly disappeared before I could even ask for help. Again, poor customer service. The only reason I even gave it 1 star was for the brownies I purchased. The brownies are really good- although I'm not even sure they make them. Needless to say, I won't be going back. I felt very unwelcome and almost unsafe with the very few words that were actually spoken to me.

It's off the beaten path and the parking lot is small but it was well worth the trip! I bought four paczkis in three different flavors and had the Bavarian cream for myself. For only $1.75 a paczki, I think it was very tasty and definitely worth the price! The flavor selection is small but that's probably to keep costs down, especially since this is actually an Italian bakery! I intend to make this the bakery I go to for Italian holidays in the future so I can try their specialties! Kind and quick service too.
