What looks like a longtime Williamsville institution, this bakery is located on a busy corner and is very large. Inside, along with a nice size seating area to eat and bakery ordering line, they have ready made baked goods throughout many different bakery cases and fridges, as well as pre-packaged options. Everything from kringles to cookies and scones to cupcakes and full custom cakes. I had read about legendary cinnamon scones and have been a huge scone kick (especially cinnamon!), so I had to try them. Not only do they make cinnamon though, they take a unique approach to their fruit scones by filling them with fruit jelly, so of course I tried a lemon blueberry filled scone too. The filled ones are better in theory than practice. The lemon flavor of the dough was almost nonexistent and the blueberry jam didn't spread well enough to help out the other lacking flavors. The cinnamon scone absolutely could have potential, but unfortunately mine was overly hard and crumbly - I wish I had asked for a specific, newer and lesser-baked one, but such is life :) read more

Recently I stopped in to pick up a few items to bring home for my wedding tasting. I chose a variety of cupcakes along with the Hello Dollies. The Hello Dollies were absolutely delicious those were a definite highlight. Unfortunately, the cupcakes weren't what I was hoping for. I can't pinpoint exactly what was missing, but the flavors just didn't stand out to me the way I expected. I did try to ask a few questions about wedding tastings while I was there, but the worker helping me didn't seem very enthusiastic or willing to offer much guidance. Since this is such an important part of planning my wedding, that part of the experience felt a bit disappointing. Overall, while I was really rooting for this to be "the place" especially since it's a big and popular bakery I don't feel confident moving forward with them for my wedding desserts. I truly wanted to love everything, but the tasting just didn't click for me. read more

This place is dangerous, and by that I mean big back playground. One thing that vexes my spirit is a sweet treat that wasn't worth the caloric intake. Ohlson's is worth it! From the mini cakes, custom cakes, and cupcakes, you can NOT go wrong. My go to is the killer chocolate cupcake. The ambiance is a cross between your grandma's living room and a neighborhood cafe. There's breads, coffees, specialty drinks, cakes, cookies, pastries, and to go cakes. The service ranges from stellar to ok. On average, pretty good. I've never been disappointed with my treats and I'm a bit of a bake good snob as I'm a home baker myself. I live no where near here and don't mind a drive here for a great treat to self indulge or to share. Check them out! read more

I recently ordered several platters of desserts to be delivered for an engagement party and I have to say that going with Ohlson's was the best decision! All of the guests remarked on how delicious everything was. The delivery was prompt and presentation pleasing. I highly recommend them and won't hesitate to use them again. read more

I had my baby shower this weekend and I sent Eliza some pictures and a description of what I was toying with in my mind for a cake. She'd never seen the movie, Labyrinth, before. My mom touched base with her as well to wrap up details... OMG! The cake was so beautifully decorated. Just enough intricate detail but soft enough for a shower. The flavors were DELICIOUS!!!! We had chocolate and white cake with raspberry filling and cream cheese topping. Everything was so delicious. Highly recommend Ohlson's for your special day!!!! read more

Certainly one of my fav bakeries. Wide selection of cookies, cupcakes and other sweet treats. Follow them on social media for giveaways. Plenty of spots to sit inside to enjoy and a take out fridge which would be handy if you need a cake or cheesecake for a party. read more

I ate the evidence! We used to have our kringle shipped to us, but not now that I've found Ohlsons I can order ahead & pick it up fresh while also supporting local business. There is normally room to sit at a table & enjoy some lunch - I will be going back and update read more

I ordered a pie on Saturday the 7th to pick up and serve on Monday the 9th. The pie was frozen solid I thought I was buying a fresh made pie, not frozen I could have bought that at a grocery store. We tried to eat it and it was so frozen it had literally no taste. So disappointing. read more

Recently seems you have discontinued Danish option such as apricot ,apple,cheese ,almond etc. These were my favorites seem to replaced with vareity of scones. We enjoy kuchens, and kringles when hosting relatives and folks. lazy crazy kuchen is excellent. We have enjoyed cakes cookies ,cupcakes just disappointed at eleimination of danish favs read more

The counter really needs a number system, I went one night and it was a bit confusing. Overall the cookies are decent, and cupcakes tasty. I'd grab them if I'm in the area again. read more

Ohlson's is fantastic. We just had our wedding and they took care of the cake and cupcakes. Perfect quality and appearance on top of being incredible easy to work with. We gave them our order and they handled the rest. I can't recommend them enough if you are looking for bakery items for your event. Thank you so much! read more

Picked up a carrot cake for Easter and expressly asked the clerk if had cream cheese frosting as is usually traditional with carrot cakes. She assured me it did only to find when serving that it was frosted with a sickly sweet buttercream. Hardly anyone ate it, most went in the trash; very disappointing for a $45 cake! Giving it one star for at least looking nice. read more

Cakes and cookies and pies, oh my! Ohlson's is a quintessential bakery in the northtowns, one that took me way too long to try on my own. My mother got my dad his most recent birthday cake here and picked up a few extra sweet treats for us to try -- and as a major dessert fiend, how could I say no! For his birthday cake, my dad chose the cassata cake, which I found really delicious and light, not overly sweet by any means. I've never had cassata cake before, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I know a good cake when I taste one, and this one was really good. We got an assortment of their specialty cupcakes as well, each were absolutely massive. I chose the wedding cake cupcake and it was very decadent -- way too much frosting for my taste, but the flavor captured that classic almond wedding cake essence. The cake wasn't too dense, thankfully, and I really enjoyed it! If I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely stop by Ohlson's again for a sweet treat. Because truly, dessert is what makes life so sweet -- and they do dessert so well. read more

Love stopping here to grab a special treat but recently ordered our first custom cake from here. They blew us away with what we got. Our little girl turned for and wanted a "pink/purple cheetah" cake. Not only did they nail decorating the cake but the inside funfette with custard filling was sooo good. The only negative about this place it that is a little pricey for an everyday treat but it's so good we don't mind for special occasions. Will definitely be ordering birthday cakes from here again! read more

I stopped here a week and a half ago to get some sweet treats for myself and my friends for a friend's birthday. The birthday girl needed something gluten free, which this place had. I bought four cupcakes, two cookies, and one gluten-free cupcake. The order was just shy of $40!!! ‍ I was a bit taken aback, when the employee stated my total, but I was okay with it. The treats ended up being delicious and worth it. Because of the price, I can't come here often, but I won't mind returning. They have cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other things. There is a nice seating area and they have their own parking lot. The staff were pleasant. I was happy with the cupcakes and cookies. I unfortunately forgot to snap photos of the cupcakes and cookies. The cookies were huge and delicious. read more

I've always wanted to check this bakery out but never had the chance until this week! It's a small bakery located on the corner of Harris Hill and Sheridan. I came here with my friend after grabbing lunch. I certainly have a second stomach for dessert because I swear all the delicious baked goods and pastries were calling my name! One of my fave treats is a raspberry crumb bar. I knew I had to get the Raspberry Delite Bar. It was really good! The crumble was just perfect and I don't think it was too sweet. It was small but very rich. I thought the price was reasonable. I would definitely come back and try other items! The huge cannoli cupcake and carrot cake definitely caught my eye! read more

Omg! This bakery is amazing. They made a cake for my cousin's wedding last night and I still can't focus on anything else. It was a raspberry filled layer cake with a sweet but light buttercream frosting. I've never had anything like it. If you need a cake for any special occasion, I encourage you to check them out. #HappyEating read more

One of the best bakeries still in the north towns. We enjoyed the delicious almond ring with coffee today. Not overly sweet. Fresh and light. It's been a long time since I've been a long time since I've been to Ohlson's. Today was our lucky day. One day soon, we hope to eat inside ... 2021 a lot of hope in you! read more

AMAZING! I cannot wait to go back! I stopped in here on my way home to see what they offered. I thought they were just a bakery but they are so much more!! They serve breakfast and lunch and I'm going to have to update my review once I go back to try them haha! For my first visit I opted for a pumpkin cookie that had a huge layer of cream cheese frosting YUM! It was very good. It had chocolate chips in it which was a surprise, but a pleasant one! I imagine all of the other baked goods are tasty too! They offer cakes, cookies, pastries, pies, and many other delicacies. I wish I could have tried them all! The parking lot was full when I visited which lets me know that many other people love this place too! I can't wait to go back! read more

I was looking for a fresh lemon meringue pie. One with real meringue, not a pound of cool-whip dumped on top of lemon pudding. Unheard of in many bakeries. But to my surprise, Ohlson's have them. The real deal. And I have to say, it was one of the best we've ever had. My grandmother made some of the best, and this was right up there! We will definitely be back again for another! read more

I ordered a Elmo cake that Ohlson's Bakery posted on their website as a cake they can make for kids. I specifically asked for the exact elmo cake on their website. Ohlson's quoted me 49.00. I said yes. When we picked up the cake today it was NOT what we ordered. I know some of you may think its not that big of a difference but... I did NOT get what I ordered. The elmo cake I received had buttercream frosting for eyes and his nose... In the image from their website the eyes and nose are made out of fondant and DON'T LOOK SLOPPY! When I questioned them their response was "that would have been more money". Who responds like that?!!! I never gave a cap of how much I wanted to spend... I said I want the EXACT SAME CAKE ON YOUR WEBSITE!!!!!!! Their response was you can return it and get your money back... well that doesn't work because my son still needs a birthday cake. For special ordering YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU THINK YOU ORDERED. I am very disappointed and will no longer shop at Ohlson's for anything going forward.... Thanks for NOT making what I asked for! read more

Not my first time - but it's been a long while. Ordered a coconut cream pie for my BFF's birthday cake (and a Kringle too). Without getting to complicated - the customer service was heart warming. The coconut cream pie was the BEST I have ever tasted. I'm sure the apricot Kringle will be just as good. Prices are reasonable. I'll be back even if it does take me a half hour to get there! read more

I can't say it enough how WONDERFUL Ohlson's Bakery was to work with. She made a beautiful cake at an amazing price, it was also the MOST delicious cake we tasted during our wedding tastings. She even took my swatches to match the flowers on the cake! She was kind, professional and an overall pleasure to work with! She even let me use my grandmother's cake topper and built a base for it so it would fit perfectly on top! The best part, they will bake you a FRESH anniversary cake when it is your one year, so you don't have to defrost and eat a frost bit cake! I would HIGHLY recommend them if you want a memorable and remarkable cake on you wedding. My guests all kept raving about how moist and yummy the cake was! read more

I received a small sized "bundt" birthday cake from Ohlson's, along with two super decadent gourmet cupcakes (hot cocoa and some super chocolate one). The cupcakes were FABULOUS, moist interior, creamy toppings... nothing but praise for those. But the bundt cake was SUPER dry in the middle. We left it half eaten after doling out the birthday slices. :( Beautiful shop, friendly employees, nice selection--- just steer clear of the bundt cakes. read more

Ohlsons is a one of a kind bakery. The deserts are rich and tasty. The atmosphere of the dining experience is welcoming! I loved my raspberry cheesecake cupcake. I couldn't finish it because it was so rich and tasty. My dad acquired the Lemon meringue pie that had the sweet yet sour taste. The deserts are nicely balanced. The portion size is over the top. I would come back again when I'm in the mood for a Tasty desert with friends or family :)!! read more

Ohlson's is one of the first bakeries I've gone to in Buffalo, and I think they're probably one of the best in town. The inside of the bakery is cozy and everyone that works here is SUPER friendly and helpful. They're really busy during the weekends (brunch line!) and sometimes there's a line even on weekdays. When I go here, I usually go and pick up the pastries or breads I want. I will say, some of the cupcakes are pretty sweet, but generally the pastries and savory breads are on point. Honestly, I think the gluten-free options they have here are worth going! The GF peanut butter chocolate cupake is pretty yummy :D read more

Pretty Pissed to find out today they are changing their hours from closing at 6:00p to closing at 5:00p. I don't understand this from a business perspective!! since people get out of work at 5:00. I could have had a box of cupcakes on my counter right now but NOooOoo you just had to close early to prevent further customers from making any purchases. I'll update my review when I can actually buy your stuff again. This is how I get without cupcakes btw. read more

The Christmas Kringle is a beloved bakery tradition in our household. We love the cheese, almond, and apricot jam. The cinnamon sugar is good too, but a bit sweet for breakfast on my opinion. It's been 10+ years since we first ordered the Christmas Kringle and it's always a family favorite read more
