Pretty good bakery overall, I'm from an area where bakeries are very popular and make great pastries. This location my girl and I came to is a solid option, not the greatest I've had, but it's definitely solid for what you get, staff are very friendly, great overall atmosphere. I'd come back here and get another sheet cake! I think the potential is definitely here to improve. Next time I plan on trying their danish, I love danishes! 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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

Stein's Bakery - The sign on the front of the bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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

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

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

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

It was a beautiful experience ordering a cake for my sister and her husband's 50th wedding anniversary. Queen was so helpful with everything. She was patient with us and the environment was nice. All of the workers were nice. read more

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

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

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

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

Heavenly tender and delicious Petit Fours were a major HIT at our birthday celebration Perfectly fresh and beautifully finished, these are the best around We always return for more more more5 stars +++++ read more

I've been on the hunt for petit fours in Dallas forever and I'm happy to say I've finally found some that exceed my expectations!!! This bakery is so cute and they have a huge variety of danishes and cookies and their cakes look beautiful. The taste of the petit four was spot on and the prices are super reasonable. The employees were friendly and efficient! Already excited to come back and try other items! 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

The Easter egg petit fours have been a family tradition for years. They look beautiful but this year they were so dry. I was embarrassed to serve them. This is sad because her cakes and pies looked delicious. 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

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.

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

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 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

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

You must get the cheese pockets! They are so dangerously delicious. I feel like I could eat five every day and be so happy. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. 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

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 ordered a cake to celebrate a love ones 50th birthday. I specifically requested a two tier 50 number cake, jelly in-between the layers, colors to be red, black and gold with flower decor and cream cheese icing. When I gone to pick it up, I got a sheet cake, white color butter cream icing with gold lettering saying "Happy Birthday". I was so upset but I was running out of time since the party was in east Texas. The nice young lady who checked me out said if I came back at 3 pm, they can have the cake I ordered ready. There was no way since the gathering started at 1 pm. No one knew the design I requested besides the birthday girl, however, the nail to the coffin is when people took their first bite to discover the cake was dry. I was embarrassed when I saw the look and reaction. So NOTHING I requested and ordered was made and the worst part was the cake was dry. I will never order from here again. 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 want to support local small businesses. But, twice in a row now I've been disappointed with stale products (cake and cupcakes). This place has been regarded as one of Dallas' legendary bakeries. I understand and appreciate the loyal customer base with those who grew up here. But, I'm out. read more
