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

Went to pickup the birthday cake for my mother and it was not decorated as the order was written. They did not care and had the most revolting attitude about it. Like take it or leave it. $69. Cake had been prepaid. Turned me off from my blessed occasion. What PIGS. NEVER GOING BACK. read more

Stein's gets that A+ rating today for going above and beyond! We were in a pinch for an emotionally-laden situation, and Stein's came through in such a wonderful and positive way! Thanks again for giving us exactly what we needed, and then some!! read more

Stein's Bakery has been our go-to bakery for over 30 years. On 6/8, they prepared a dessert for the ages - a half-sheet, chocolate mousse cake. The two dozen guests at our dinner party said it was as beautiful as it was delicious. Stein's deserves six stars! read more

Yummy bakery. My family is always very excited when they see Stein's amazing treats at the house. Management is wonderful and always trying to please. Must try spot!! read more

The cake was dry and not substantial. Not sure how they've been a fixture all these years.

Amazing bakery! I called the morning that I needed the cake and they were still able to accommodate me. Most other bakeries won't take same day orders. The cake was also very delicious! read more

Cheese pockets. That is what we drive to Dallas for and that is well worth it all. We buy by the dozens. Still do not last long enough. 12/22 purchase of 4 dozen seemed a bit different to us. The pastry seems flatter... not like we know. Perhaps it was a busy day baking and helpers helped out? Still................. nobody bakes cheese pockets like Steins. I know.. other things are good.... but... CHEESE POCKETS!!!!!!! We ordered five dozen a few months ago and then 4 dozen a few weeks ago and now... well you see what we think. read more

Amazing Mountain Berry and Apple pies! Great service! Decadent petit fours! Love this place!

These Sand Tarts took me back to my childhood! Buttery, not too sweet, the buttery taste is sinful! I enjoyed being taken back to 26 years to memories with stealing Keebler shortbread pecan cookies.... oh my they're perfected with goodness and just enough of everything. My bestie shared theses delicacies with me and I'm so thankful! I will be back! read more

After being a customer for nearly over 30 years for every holiday and family birthday and event (including my wedding) I was treated so rudely by a counter person when I went in to place a large custom order for a baby shower that I'm done with Stein's. read more

I love this place! I was in charge of picking up cupcakes for a birthday party- and my boss told me she always gets her cakes from Steins. The staff was very friendly and the bakery is huge, so there's plenty of space for customers (unlike Sprinkles where you have to stand in line out the door). The best part? We got 20 cupcakes and 2 petit fours for only $14. Where else can you get quality baked goods and service with a smile at a reasonable price? I'll be back soon- especially to try these cheese pockets ya'll rave about! read more

Stein's Bakery - Yum Petit Fours! - Bakeries Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I called to inquire about Christmas cookies. The lady that answered hung up on me. I called back and the same lady mocked me when I said hello. So bizarre and then hung up on me again. Clearly unstable and rude employees. read more

Ordered Petit Fours for a Lingerie shower and they were a hit - perfect portion for each girl, moist, delicious and decorated to match the theme!! I had the option of chocolate and vanilla, and choose to split the order half-and-half. The vanilla far surpassed the chocolate in taste, but neither was disappointing. The pink and black corsets that styled each cake were also very cute and tied the theme of party together perfectly. I would highly recommend using Stein's for any special occasion, themed party or if you're just in the mood for a great piece of cake. read more

Nice selections of cakes and pastries, this was my first time in the place, I was picking up a custom order for my wife (which turned out fantastic) and saw a few items that I had to have myself. They were delicious. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area. read more

The cake tasted decent, not the best not the worst, but I was extremely disappointed in the design. Not sure what's going on with the flowers, but it seems like someone with very little experience decorated the cake. read more

Birthday cakes are good but they don't consistently answer the phone during posted business hours. Aggravating.

Steins is an old standby for the Dallas community for decades! I have been coming here since I was a kid who could ALMOST always talk my mom into buying me a cookie or two qhen we would come in for bread or a special occasion cake. These folks even made my sister's wedding cake. read more

Their baked goods have always been #1. I remember hearing about them as a child and couldn't wait to go there.

Beware of Mold!!! We have been going here for years. We went to Stein's this morning to get some danishes and be supportive. Normally, they are really good, but these tasted funny. We flipped them over and they were all moldy....check your pastries if you go.... read more

I had every intention of wanting to love this place. My gf purchased me a red velvet cake for my birthday and after reading the reviews she was more than convinced that it would be be amazing since all we've ever tried were cakes from Tom Thumb. Additionally, I live 5min from here and we were more than excited to support local establishments especially during these times of uncertainty. But the cake left so much to be desired, as it was very very dry for a red velvet cake. The only point of reference I can compare it to is my Tom Thumb red velvet cake that is so deliciously moist. I was pretty let down honestly also since I only eat cake a few times out of the year due to my diet. I probably would be very reluctant to try this place again for any of my celebratory needs due to the fact with special bakeries you get charged a premium as you are expecting a certain level of quality. It could've been an off day and perhaps I'm just the 1%. read more

Message that I sent to Steins Bakery. I'm an unhappy customer: Just want to let you guys know that I'll be writing a review later on tonight about my after hours experience with you guys. I called 10 min before closing to let you guys know that I'd be a little late picking up my birthday cake and the rep that answered Informed me that she couldn't guarantee that I could get the cake because the store closed at 5:00 pm ok I get it. Got here at 5:04 and the lady signaled that you were closed. I called three times to see if maybe you guys could make an exception and allow me to pick up my cake. On the second call you guys picked up the phone and held the line.... Even sighed. Poor customer service..... I'm almost tempted to not pick up my cake tomorrow. I guarantee you I will be writing a review about my experience. The experience I'm referring too will be one of your employees picking up the phone and not saying anything. After my post, I received a call from the owner or manager: I received a call from the owner or manager who proceeds to make matters worse. First she told me that they would be opened tomorrow and I could pick up the cake then. I told her about my issue and she proceeded to tell me the what I thought was a "sigh" was not intended to sound like one because she wears a kn95 mask and it's hard to breath wearing it. I told her that no one on the other end even acknowledged my hellos..... she then told me that she wears a hearing aid and could not hear.....ma'ammm!?!?!? After I told her this was poor customer service she THEN apologized and told me that she didn't know who it was that did this and it wasn't her. By this time I'm now sighing. I was just going to let her make it with this posting on FB but I need to still submit my review about this experience. SMH. You've lost a returning customer. read more

Wow! Highly recommend this little bakery. They made my grandson's first birthday cupcake / Cookie Monster cake / cookie cake. Yeah, we ordered lots of cake for the boy's 1st! We adults loved every bite, but little man destroyed his cupcake. He didn't like the sweetness (mama hadn't given him sugar yet!!!) He will learn soon enough. Go visit this bakery. The best in Dallas! read more

Stein's Bakery - Cookie Monster theme - Bakeries Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have been a Stein's bakery "consumer" since I was a tiny kid (over 50 years) and I love supporting local, iconic, community and small businesses. The last 3 times I was there, things have really declined. Really wish someone would invest in the Brand, Menu, Experience and Exposure. (Build it back up, small store expansion to the north and west, get back to what made them great, update digital & social exposure...when ready for the relaunch with menu (s), photos, events and advertising. Build back the nostalgia, update the menu and reinvest to compete. Petit fore and toffee cookies were not good. Petite fore was dry and the butter in the cookie was old. Ugh ‍ read more

Not the same quality I have known for 15 years. I really do not like writing this review, but feel a duty to warn others. I have ordered birthday cakes for over 15 years, including a large wedding cake for my granddaughter. The tradition continued with my great granddaughter. We celebrated her birthday with a cake from Steins. The quality and taste was unrecognizable from previous experiences. It was dense, dry and had a strange taste. We threw out 1/2 the cake. Guests who tasted their slice complained and threw theirs a way. What a disappointment. Along with the quality, employees have changed. Additionally, a guest pointed out a large bulge on one side of the cake as if something was growing (see picture); wasn't there when I picked it up the day before. Sad to see a once respected bakery fall so low. Steins, thanks for the memories, but I won't be back. read more

Stein's Bakery - Cake with unidentifiable bulge - Bakeries Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have been using Stein's for the eight years I have lived in Dallas, and have not had any issues before now. I ordered my daughter's birthday cake 5 days in advance to ensure it would be ready. When I arrived at the specified time on her birthday to pick up the cake, they had no record of my order. Not only did they not have any pre-made cakes even close to what we ordered-so we had to settle for a different type of unwanted cake, but they misspelled her name three times before getting it correct. I don't know if this type of service is due to poor process and procedure from the time of order placement, inadequate staff training, or uninvolved and under qualified management, but it was the complete lack of concern and unprofessional attitude from staff that prompted me to write this review about the incident. After reviewing other people's reviews and comments, I see that my situation at this bakery was not the first time a lost order has happened to someone else as well. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Steins's bakery, as I am certain I will find another quality bakery where this type "birthday surprise" of will not happen to another of my family members again. Hopefully management will take these kinds of comments seriously and act to mitigate such issues with other patrons, or risk losing their business as well. read more

I stopped by here on Saturday morning around 9:30am. The products looked delectable. I purchased 2 cream puffs & 6 cupcakes. The cupcakes were supposed to be Red Velvet, Carrot & Italian Cream. These were 4 my husband's birthday. His favorite is carrot. I "treated" myself to ONE cream puff when ai got home & left the cupcakes in the box on the counter. The cream puff was hard & dry & stale. I was disappointed. When my husband arrived home later that evening I revealed the cupcakes. They put a strange marble cupcake in box instead of the carrot cake. Not good. I took a bite of the red velvet & it was DRY! I'm not sure if I got there at a bad time or if I was sold product that was days old but it was nasty! read more

just wanted to let you know what a hit my Baby Shower cake was!! Everyone was so impressed and could not stop raving about it. Of course they loved how beautiful it looked and then when they tasted it, the reoccurring comment was, "Cute cakes never really taste that great, this is so delicious!!! Thank you everyone at SB I'm forever grateful!! read more

We have been going to Stein's for nearly fifty years on Christmas Eve to buy holiday coffee cakes for several family members to enjoy on Christmas. Today, after driving 40 minutes, we were informed they had none for pick up, preorders only. I have been trying to call them for a week. No answer. Nothing mentioned on their website. Don't give me the COVID excuse. That doesn't justify bad customer service. I feel like next year I will start a new tradition, and doubt I'll be the only one. Good luck Steins. read more

Can't post photos because our purchase didn't last that long. I'm sure I licked my fingers but don't think that pic would help you out. We drove an extra 30 minutes to get here in a raging storm and it was so worth it! Cheese pockets are amazing. They aren't just your typical cheese danish from the grocery store. They are actually a pastry pocket filled with a delicious, lightly sweet filling and topped with a sweet icing. Generous in size and $1.75 each. They are good cold or freeze them and heat when ready to eat. For the first time I tried the petit fours. Oh my gosh! Light and perfect they almost melt in your mouth. The vanilla was really good. The chocolate was divine. Call ahead at least two days in advance for larger orders. Pick up at counter and pay in the next room. Be sure to buy one box to take home and a small box to enjoy in the car. It really is that good. read more

This used to be our go-to for cakes, in fact they did my wedding cake. But today I called to make sure they had our "usual" birthday cake (I've never had to call ahead before, it's always been just a take and go in their refrigerated case). But today I called to make sure they had one before I drove over, and you'd have thought I was asking for someone's kidney! They passed the phone around to several different people, asked me several times for information I'd already given, and after 15 minutes on the phone for a very simple "yes or no" question (do you have one of these cakes you usually have today?) I gave up. Their cakes are still good, they have just become so difficult to deal with the past couple of years. Especially when there are places like Cake Bar that have simple, online ordering. read more

Sugary goodness lives at Stein's Bakery. Stein's specializes in cookies and cakes. They always have fun Halloween cookies and cupcakes in October and great Christmas and Chanukah pastries in December. They also have the best coconut cake I've ever had. Call ahead to special order a cake, and they will decorate it however you desire. The artwork is pretty darn good too. If you can't call ahead 4 days in advance, and show up last minute, they can still write "Happy Birthday Mom" on the cake for you. They have a large selection of pre-made cakes. Also, they use "real" icing. You know what I'm talking about, icing that is so buttery and sugary that you are high for an hour. Then you crave it. Yes, crave it like a fiend craves crack. Due to your newfound icing addiction, it's a good thing that the prices at Stein's are pretty reasonable. A birthday cake will cost $20 - $25, and a larger cake with original artwork runs about $50. My family has been ordering cakes from Stein's since before I was born, and we have never been disappointed. I also would recommend a trip to Stein's for relationship therapy. They always have loads of Gingerbread men in stock. Instead of keying your SO's car, buy a half-dozen gingerbread men and bite their heads off - literally. After the sugar and aggressive biting - you'll feel better. read more

If you're looking for the BEST confections in the Dallas area, I suggest giving Steins at Preston and 635 a try. EVERYTHING you taste is exceptional. From cookies to pastries, you cannot go wrong...and if you are looking for a cake for a special occasion (i.e., Wedding, Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc.) I highly recommend the Italian wedding cake. We have it on special occasions without the coconut, due to allergies.....but it is still one of the best in the selections! read more

I have been using Stein's Bakery for years for cakes and Petit Fours but today is the last time I will ever call their store. I had the rudest person on the other end of the line that I have ever dealt with in my life time. At a time when customer service should be at your all time highest, I was talked to as though I were a child. Never, EVER have I been spoken to like this and never EVER will I use Steins again! read more

I ordered a large cake two weeks ahead of time and provided a picture and color reference for the cake. I was told it would be close to what I wanted so I proceeded. However, not only was the cake a neon color (specified kelly green), it was so dry and people hardly ate it. While I was there, I felt a little icky because the place looks old/gross. Maybe it was the lighting or maybe it's just because it was different than other bakeries I've been to. I would not recommend. read more
