I have had donuts from Stein's bakery since I was a little girl. I do not live in Dallas any more, but visit family and LOVE to have Stein's. All of my family LOVES (and loved) the Cheese Pockets. I was into the cherry danish. My Mom would get those and cakes, etc. for every holiday through the 60's, 70's, and 80's! But when I visited her after that, we ALWAYS made our way to Stein's. Great sweets - Great memories! read more

Cheese pockets, fruit danishes, cherry crowns, petit fours, rolls, are all classics for every holiday for decades. We don't live anywhere near the middle of Dallas anymore, but anytime we are close and have some time, we will detour for a cheese pocket! I have gotten many friends hooked on them! It's one of the few bakeries that you can still get petit fours instead of cupcakes- a shower tradition. Every birthday cake when I was kid came from Stein's - Raggedy Ann, Snoopy and more. read more

Perfection. Meant for special occasions, so I suppose I was special enough! Take a selfie with your piece of art before it disappears. You'll want to remember how amazing it looked. The man helping me was extra kind and patient. The style is fresh, clean, and modern. I'm coming back! read more

I purchased a sheet cake and paid over $50 for it. The cake was dry! Absolutely not worth the money! Did I mention I drove 30 miles because I always thought Stein's Bakery was incredible.....Too bad it wasn't! Nothing more embarrassing than bragging about the bakery and having your guests eat dry cake!! I won't do that again! Do better Stein's! read more

I purchased a loaf of sourdough bread and within 5 days it turned moldy. Unfortunately, it was my first time here and will not be going back. read more

If you're in the area, stop by this little gem and pickup some sweet goods to enjoy! The service here is always prompt and efficient, and they always welcome you with a smile. My absolute favorites are the Cherry Crowns, and the Cheese pockets. Warning, don't buy too many because you won't be able to stop eating them! Kudos to this old school bakery with their great service and tasty treats!! read more

Expect rude service when you walk in. Sales lady who said she was also a librarian greeted us with "make sure the pickup name is correct, I wasted 15 mins searching for someone else's this morning". In addition, cake didn't have something on it, lady said this is what instructions said, and I saw clearly on the instructions sheet what we had told them to do. read more

The cream cheese pocket was amazing! One of my favorite pastries is a cheese Danish but the cream cheese pocket is a denser bread with the flavoring in the bread-middle of the pastry. All the pastries/cookies we tried were fantastically delicious, if smaller than your average bakery sized cookies. Everything had a more rustic homemade look and many of the shelves were empty (it was a Saturday morning). read more

I finally tried the cinnamon bread from Stein's, and it absolutely lives up to the hype! The loaf is incredibly soft!

Beware of Oweida! I placed an order for my daughter's baptism (cake and petit fours) and came to Stein's to pick up a few days later. The cake was all wrong - wrong size, did not include the cross, wrong floral details. I spoke to Oweida, the manager who also decorated the cake. I showed her the photo I had emailed the bakery and explained that I'd like to have them remake the cake in the correct size with the decorations like the photo. I also offered to pay for the wrong cake and the new cake. She told me they could never make it look like the photo because it was AI generated. I told her it was not - it is a real cake I found on Instagram from a real bakery. This really triggered her - she became really offended and took this to mean I didn't think she was a real baker and stormed off. At this point, I was desperate for them to remake this cake correctly by end of day, in time for the baptism the next day. I asked someone if they could please have her come back and speak to me so we could discuss what she would have time to make in the next few hours. She was rushing to finish another cake so I told them I could wait until she was done and then discuss once she had a few free minutes. She stormed back out and said, "What do you want, lady?!" I was taken aback and said if now isn't a good time I could wait or come back to talk to her. She said the world seemed to revolve around me so let's just talk now, even though I didn't think she was a real baker and this isn't a real bakery. She also said I was wasting her time and now I got her all riled up and stressed out and she was falling behind on decorating other cakes. Overall, an awful customer experience. I will not be back. read more

I have been eating Stein's sand tarts (and chocolate tarts) for at least 65 years and they are both still as good as ever! The chocolate tarts are a Stein's original and I have never found them in any other bakery. Thank you for staying original to the recipes. read more

First and last time customer. When I walked in the door, it didn't smell like a bakery. Should have turned around and left at that point. The store has an old, musty smell which unfortunately has made its way into the cookies. Some of the cookies seemed fresh but others were stale. Didn't try the pastries but they were not even visually appealing. Some of the decorations on the cookies didn't look very professional. This place isn't worth the money. If you want cupcakes go to GiGi's and Tiff's for cookies. read more

I just had to download this app to tell people about this place. I have been coming to Steins for years now always picking up goodies for my family and friends, and for myself of course, the food from here is so good, it is a one of a kind bakery, with the difference options on cookies danishes breads and cake, I have tried just about everything and there is not ONE thing I wouldn't not order again. Absolutely delicious. Recently I feel like I've been enjoying the place even more, walking in there's always nice music playing, nice and joyful people working behind the counters, and cannot forget the smell !! Wow, it's always delicious. When I get married im definitely referring to this bakery for my wedding !!! Nothing can make me hate you Steins !! read more

Their petit fours make my heart skip a beat. Delightful. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Typical old school bakery.

Over the years I have frequent Stein's Bakery mainly for their cheese pockets . Plus they made my wedding cake from 1994 and did a wonderful job. But yesterday (Wednesday 2/4/26) drove from south of Fort Worth area to get a treasured cheese pocket. I purchased 8 to share with family. I was disappointed they seemed stale , not fresh. I would have returned them but the drive wasn't worth it. So sad it wasn't a better experience. read more

Great desserts and breads!! Will come again. Recommend for those people that like sweets.

I'll be honest, I only had the petit fours. We used to get our petit fours from another bakery before they closed down. This was my first time trying this bakery and as of right now they are the best petit fours Ive tried in DFW. I placed an order for the petit fours over the phone and it was a easy pick up. Plenty of parking near by and the building felt big for a bakery. I will for sure be back for the petit fours. I probably will try some other items from this bakery but as of now my review is just based on the petit fours. read more

Steins Bakery is my "go to" for special occasions. Customer service is outstanding and Steins cakes are both beautiful and delicious! Grab a loaf of fresh baked bread on your way out read more

Stein's seems to have gone downhill recently, which makes me very sad. The pastries and cakes are still yummy. However, the attention to detail is completely lacking, which results in inconsistent quality. I recently stopped in and picked up a box of petit fours. ALL OF THEM were lacking icing on multiple sides because the wrapper had stuck to the sides of the cake, and then the icing hadn't reached the sides. See photo. I buy these for the fantastic icing-to-cake ratio. What's the point of buying basically the tiniest imaginable piece of cake that only has icing on the top?? Totally unacceptable, especially for the price. read more

Love this place! Easy to find, close to Preston and 635 & lots of parking. Everyone who works here is super nice and friendly and always seem to be glad you came. It was early afternoon and I was afraid they'd be sold out of the cream cheese pastries I love(has happened in the past) but they had a tray full, got a few other items. Everything I've ever gotten here is top knotch. They even have a small section of discounted items. Highly recommend this wonderful bakery read more

I guess this is one of those you had to be there places because I wasn't feeling this place at all. It smelled really old the moment I walked in and there's nothing special about the baked goods. The customer service is good so I'll give them that. Otherwise this place is a hard pass. read more

Last Sunday afternoon, our baby girl Sip 'n See was a lovely affair... made extra special by personalized iced-to-perfection cookies from Stein's. The requested colors and gold writing were perfect. Complements galore from party guests who confessed the cookies were delicious as well as beautiful. Thanks, Stein's. You always deliver tasty made-to-order goodies. read more

I was in the area and saw a bakery and I love a good bakery so I stopped in. Walked in and it appears that this is an old bakery and they do things that my grandmother would have liked. Tea cookies, almond cookies, pastries, bread and cakes. The lady who "greeted" me made me feel like I was bothersome as I asked a lot of questions but I went with what she said was most popular, a cream cheese filled pastry, and a pastry that had nuts & honey in the center. The two cost less than $4. Got to where I was going and had some extra time so I started eating the cream cheese pastry. I was surprised because when I bit into it, i didn't see anything inside of it. However after the second bite I was like wait a minute, this is good. By the time I finished it I was wanting another. However I looked at the other pastry and prayed it would be just as good. It wasn't. The pastry was hard, the inner was overly sweet where I ended up throwing it away. However i did go back and buy two more of the cheesecake pastry to share with my family ($5.50). I can't say I would drive to north dallas just for the pastry but if I was in the area I would stop in again. read more

This is one if not the best bakery in Dallas.After reading all these negative reviews I was a little worried about the service and quality of the place,but after actually going I was treated with no less than respect and everything was fresh and delicious.The was nice tunes playing in the background and everyone was being helped one by one.It looked like the place was packed but it flew by so fast and I was not in line for more than 2 minutes. Honestly the people who complain about this place are just true haters.I got a little bit of everything and absolutely NOTHING was dry or had too little/too much icing.the petifours and the danishes are to die for.For the people who said there will be better pastries at the super market,they are completely wrong.These are honestly some of the best it's my first time writing a review on yelp! Anyway truly do recommend this place to everyone.Great service and amazing pastries truly magnificent read more

I was able to order a 1/2 sheet cake on Tuesday and pick it up on Friday. They did a great job with our logo and the cake was a hit! Don't forget to try the cheese pocket! A good friend who has been going here for years said I had to try it and he was right! Unique and tasty. read more

My husband went to Stein's for Petit Fours. The lady in front of him bought all the petit fours in the case. My husband bought plain so I called Stein's and talked to Sophia. I asked if he could bring them back to decorate and she said yes and she was such a delight and very helpful. I am thrilled as to how kind and helpful she was. I have been going to Stein's for many many years and buy all my bakery products at Stein's and everything is so delicious. Thank you Sophia for you help and fantastic customer service.

The vanilla and chocolate petit fours are amazing! Not too sweet, not too much icing, but just the right amount of both. Plus, staff is very easy to work with in terms of custom designs, and despite inflation on ingredients they remain very affordable compared to other bakery shops. Highly recommend and happy to support this Dallas staple! read more

Bought my Christmas coffeecakes, like I have done for at least 30 years, and I was highly disappointed. Ordered a week in advance to pick up Christmas Eve, brought them home, and they were so dry. What has happened to this bakery? The wreaths are now $23 and they are not fresh and they are smaller. What the heck. My family tradition took a hit and I was sad. read more

I was super excited to order a cake from here. The ones online looked beautiful. I brought in a picture of the cake I wanted and they said they could duplicate it. When I came to pick up the cake the lettering was off center. They had also left off some wording. This was extremely irritating because I emailed them the exact picture of the cake I wanted done. There wasn't a lot of detailing so It was a pain that the main details (wording) were screwed up. It appears as if they aren't good at paying attention to detail. However, they were able to make changes on the spot, which I was incredibly grateful for. And to make matters even better, the cake was wonderful. I'm one of those weirdos who loves icing and they have some of the best icing I've ever tasted. I will be ordering from here again but I'll make sure to go in early as I did this last time in case edits need to be made read more

Absolutely horrible. I have been going to Steins for years and I will not go back. The petit fours were so stale my granddaughter's would not eat them. The m&m cookies were so stale they would not eat them!! My granddaughter's are 8 and 10!! They aren't real picky! The staff was uninterested at 9am today. So sad, it used to be so good. read more

After hearing people rave about Stein's I finally stopped in to give them a try. What a disappointment. The seasonal cookies looked like they were decorated by an elementary school art class. When we asked if they had any vegan options, the answer was a dismissive "No!" As in, why would you even ask such a ridiculous question? As we continued to browse, another customer was there picking up a cake they had ordered. Apparently it was incorrect but rather than apologize and work to fix it, the employee said, "I don't decorate the cakes, I just work the counter, that's somebody else." Excuse me?? At that point we just walked out. I don't care how good their stuff tastes, with service that bad I'm definitely going somewhere else! read more

I've been a Steins customer for 40 years and while I've recommended them to friends and colleagues over the years; I may have to re-think that. I ordered a 7" white cake with purple roses and was quoted $40 including extra roses. When I picked up the cake, there were 3 roses. That to me, does not seem like extra roses, so I asked them to do the extra roses (while I waited). When I checked out, I was charged $45 dollars by John. So I basically paid another up-charge on top of what I was already quoted. This place needs to re-think their customer service BIG TIME! For a while, the ambiance was very negative but I kept coming because of the quality of the baked goods. There are several nice girls working there, but the overall attitude is still negative as evidenced by my latest interaction. I have loved Steins for many years, but I'm not willing to be charged double when my order is not right. read more

I am HORRIFIED at how bad the customer service was in the process of getting a custom birthday cake for my daughter. I originally called the bakery to ask about the process of ordering. The lady I spoke to was clearly not happy to be at work and was minimally helpful. She directed me to start the process through email. So I did. It took days to hear back and when I responded with follow-up questions, I did not get a response. Ever. I even sent two check-in emails. No response. I should have just given up and gone with another bakery but my family has been going to Stein's for petit fours since I was a kid, so I wanted to try a cake for my own kid. Anyway, I called the bakery again and spoke to another unhappy woman. She put me on hold and then hung up on me. I called back, only getting dial tones two times. Finally, a man answered and told me "call back tomorrow morning, all the cake ladies left." I called back the next morning and this time spoke with someone kinder and more helpful. I placed the order, originally noting that I would pick up at 4pm on a Friday afternoon. Once the week came, I called to check in on the Tuesday before pickup and to change the pickup time to lunch time between 12 and 1. I asked the lady who I spoke to what I needed to do, and she said she was writing it on my ticket as we spoke and that it wouldn't be an issue. Well, today is Friday, my husband went to get the cake during lunch and it wasn't ready. I called and talked to them myself, explaining the story and my husband said one lady was literally mocking me in front of him and complaining about the issue. This is so unprofessional. After I spoke to two different women, they told my husband the best they could do was for him to wait around for 45 minutes. We live far away, and so he did. No discount was offered. No apology. No kindness. So rude and so unprofessional. The mistake was on their end and no one is owning up to it. The cake did turn out absolutely beautifully and I am sure it will be delicious - hoping those things end up making this worth the headache that it's been. I feel a little conflicted as I write this review because I feel like my family will always return to Stein's - even if just for the nostalgic petit fours. Our experience this time with the horrendous customer service is just so disheartening and if it had been our first experience, we truly would never walk through the doors again. My hope is that someone in charge sees this and it somehow makes a difference moving forward in how customers are treated. read more
