But when you can buy bread that literally just came out of the oven, or croissants, pastries, muffins, and scones that were just made an hour ago, you've got to come here. They will even slice your bread if you ask, which is service that goes above and beyond. Cons: You will not be blown away by the ambiance. The bread is sold literally in the entrance way of the business. You may be parking next to an 18-wheelers loading or unloading. But who cares, their bread is awesome! Summary: Mediterra has quickly become my favorite bakery on the west side of Pittsburgh.

Every weekend we try to hit up a new local coffee shop, and on this morning we happened to be fishing at Glade Run when I found Freya Jane's nearby. This bakery is located in what appears to be a small development of townhomes with a handful of storefronts. The inside has a large ordering area with plenty of baked goods displayed behind glass, along with an equally spacious seating area. They also had a number of card games available, and my wife and I enjoyed playing one with our 4.5-year-old twins. On this morning I decided to go with an iced brown sugar cinnamon latte while my wife chose an iced pistachio latte. My daughter picked out a sprinkle sugar cookie, my son chose a blueberry Pop-Tart, and my wife and I split a crème brûlée-filled croissant. I'll start with the baked goods, which were excellent. The croissant was buttery and flaky, and you could clearly see the lamination throughout it. The filling reminded me of a cream puff with its rich, creamy texture and flavor. To complete the crème brûlée theme, it had large pieces of caramelized sugar on top that added a satisfying crunch and really made the pastry live up to its name. My son's blueberry Pop-Tart also had a great flavor with plenty of blueberry filling inside, and my daughter loved her sprinkle sugar cookie. As far as the baked goods were concerned, they were easily five stars. The coffee was good, although it didn't quite reach the same level as the pastries. My latte had a nice balance between the brown sugar and cinnamon syrup and the espresso. Thankfully the coffee wasn't overpowered by the flavoring, and while it was certainly enjoyable, it wasn't quite as memorable as the baked goods. My wife also enjoyed her latte, especially the pistachio flavor. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My family loved the baked goods, and we all thought the coffee was good as well.

Cute coffee shop & bakery off Route 8 in Valencia!…read more I visited this spot at the end of July. I was driving up to Butler and noticed the sign for Freya Jane's from the road, and I immediately knew I needed to stop on my way back home! This croissant sandwich was delicious and just what I needed that morning! The shape of the croissant is interesting, I've never seen them be that long before lol but it was so good and flaky! Made with REAL bacon and eggs! Yum! Their pastries looked good, although I wasn't in the mood for a sweet treat so I passed on those. I had already had a coffee that morning, so I didn't need to get another one, but I figured I might as well try it while I'm there! I just got an iced latte with one pump of hazelnut syrup. Unfortunately I didn't like the latte as much as I hoped i would. Their iced drinks start at 20 oz, which is just too much milk for me personally. I would have to try it again and probably add an extra shot of espresso. I'm not up in Valencia/Butler very often, but would definitely stop here again if I am up there and pass by! I would love to try the pastries too. Would also love to have that croissant sammie again. There's lots of seating and the staff were really nice.

I got bacon, egg, cheddar & spinach on a croissant and it was great! It was such a moody, rainy fall day, and the shop was so cozy!! It was such a vibe!! it's definitely worth a trip from the city. I can't wait to go back!

Since my best friends birthday is tomorrow, I wanted to get her something thoughtful. I was planning of getting a cake elsewhere, but decided to purchase a dessert here and give it a try. I did not want to purchase a whole cake for just us two, so I opted for two cakes in a cup. I choose the Hershey's chocolate and strawberry shortcake. If they taste as delicious as they smell, I know they will be fantastic. The young lady who served me was very kind. I had a couple questions, and she answered every single one, which helped me make my decision. I can not wait to try their breakfast pastries soon!

The pineapple pastry was tasty and flakey. As I'm getting ready to pay, I notice they had tamales in the behind the counter. Perfect timing I thought since it was lunch time. I go home unwrap the foil and open up the chicken tamale. Oh my. Inside there was one slice of potato, a tiny piece of carrot and this round bone that was breaking apart with a little bit of chicken. I did take a bite and sadly it was gross. I can't even imagine if I had bitten into the bones. Please stick to baking pastries only. If it wasn't for the tamale you would have received a five star review.

As you may know, part of the movie was filmed in Ambridge and this bakery is used in one of the scenes. The main characters visit this bakery and have a Swedish eclair, or Semlor. I was hosting our book club this week and thought it would be fun to pick up some semlors for our treat. I called the day before (not realizing they are closed Sunday-Tuesday) to place an order for 18 semlors. They said it would be no problem to make them for me, even though I only gave them just over 24 hours notice. The bakery was beautifully painted back to how it was originally when it opened many many years ago. There is limited seating (only one small table and two chairs) so it's not really meant to be an eat-in bakery. The semlors were a hit with book club! Everyone enjoyed them quite a bit. They did seem to be a little dry to me. Not sure if we got "day old" semlors or they were just drier than I would have guessed. The filling was delicious and plentiful. Would love to come back and try some other items they have--the giant cookies look so yummy!

Unassuming from the outside, it is a small bakery with plenty to offer in the form of homemade baked goods, as well as some candy thrown in for good measure.

The baker was a bit rearranged from the movie - no big deal - and the service was super friendly and answered our questions on when they came to tape for the movie. It was a fun stop and their baked goods are truly delicious.
