AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Go to Wegmans!!! Like many other reviews, our strawberry shortcake had MOLD and tasted like alcohol from said mold fermenting in the cake. My mother had picked up this cake for my birthday and the entire party was extremely disappointed. To charge that much money for a "bakery" cake for a special day and it be MOLDY is pure robbery. Not a single part of that cake was good to eat. Genuinely surprised none of us or our kids got sick from this cake. God I hope they go out of business. read more

Everything they sell is wonderful and top notch. The prices are better than Wegmans as is their product.

My husband loves this bakery and he bought me this tart for Mother's Day! It was good ! I would definitely buy here again! read more

Love the pastries -- they're first rate, but don't buy pies here -- they are mediocre. I've purchased a lemon meringue and a pecan pies, but they were disappointing. Again, the pastries are great. read more

My favorite time of year to visit Strawberry Bakery is Easter. They have such a lovely selection of chocolate bunnies.

i just picked up 2 dozen mini pastries from the best French Bakery. OMG!! They were amazing. Bought 12 mini chocolate croissants and 12 mini cheese danishes. My family LOVED these pastries. Thank you Strawberry Bakery. Also, want to say the ladies that worked the register and front of bakery were so nice. So pleasant. really made for a good experience. You know when you find an establishment that not only exceeds in quality but also exceeds in service, you just have to go back to them. Strawberry Bakery is that establishment. P.S... Order the minis in advance. (Not available in the display case.) They are absolutely perfect to bring to the office, party, or special event. So affordable and very impressive! read more

I love this place. It is an actual French Bakery. They have a wonderful selection and great prices. The owner, Jean-Pierre Bournazel teaches a baking class on the first Sunday of each month, excluding August, (he deserves a vacation too). My friend, Maria from Pottstown and I from Reading, have been attending for close to 2 years. It is very informative as well as a great time for all. The atmosphere is informal and welcoming. The staff are very helpful and friendly too. I cannot say enough great things about the Strawberry Bakery. Come and see for your self! read more

I take the baking classes here every month and it is fabulous. No matter what is on the menu, and it's always something delicious, my friend and I have a great time and lots of goodies to take home and share. And if I need to pick something up that was not on the menu, I can get that as well. Jean-Pierre is a great teacher and I have been able to recreate several items at home and he is available to clarify when I've had questions. This is part of my self care routine and worth every penny! read more

I have bought croissants from the Strawberry Bakery many times and have loved them. This Friday 2/7/25 I ordered a dozen mini croissants for my family that was coming from out of town. When I got home I noticed they were very well done (brown/black on the bottom). I was disappointed because when I tasted one it was very hard and crunchy not like the ones I've ordered in the past. So I decided to return them in hopes to get more for my guests. When I returned with the box the Baker - Owner of Strawberry Bakery was very rude to me. Told me I should buy my next ones at Giant! Told me to stop talking! Never apologized but instead was very disrespectful towards me. I would not recommend supporting this man. read more

A gem! Great croissants, and the customer service is very welcoming--one of my favorite spots to take out-of-town family and friends.

The strawberry shortcake was awful. I had it years ago when I was in charge of brining the cake to an event. I was so embarrassed as most people took one bite and threw the rest in the trash. I recently decided to give them another chance but nothing has changed. The cake is dry and crumbly and the icing is tasteless. Definitely would not recommend. read more

Saw this beautiful cake at the bakery! So gorgeous, I hope the costumer enjoys her mermaid-themed cake!! read more

These are true delectables!! I found this place through a friend by doing a class (which was more than enjoyable). These are just like the real French thing, even better. Thank you Strawberry Bakery. read more

Completely underrated. Everything is made fresh everyday! The croissant are and must try, my favorite being the chocolate croissant. Also extremely affordable. read more

I would agree this bakery is more than typical ones and I enjoyed their pastries which my team got few times at work. However, I would guess, with cakes, they seem to be selling left-over frozen cakes thawed for the day of pickup. The strawberry short cake I got today still had its frosting hard and still being thawed and the bread was VERY dry. I'm sure it was better when it was fresh. I guess I just wasn't lucky. read more

We love their almond croissants!!! Get them quite frequently and taste so fresh... highly recommend

The croissants from here are f***ing awesome. A coworker brought these in today. I took a bite of the chocolate one and no turned around right away to check where they were from.. read more

Amazing, delicious, and great service. Susan was great! So kind. Will be enjoying my cheese danish.

I was excited to find a new treat place. The pastries looked amazing. The workers were sweet. The prices were doable. Woo hoo. Took them home and they taste day old and not too much flavor. Won't be returning but no hate on those who like it here. read more

This was our first time using Strawberry bakery and they did an amazing job. After calling a few other bakery's we were told we could not decorate a strawberry shortcake with the risk of it bleeding through. Strawberry bakery went above and beyond to meet our expectations. Thank you so much! This cake was a hit! read more

Strawberry Bakery - Strawberry shortcake - Bakeries Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

This place was really cool! We actually signed up for a baking class where the head pastry chef held a private class ($45 per person - minimum 6 people) teaching us how to make various items including croissants, cupcakes, macarons, bread, etc. The class was AWESOME. Jean Pierre was very entertaining, and we got to take home all of the baked goods that we made, which was a TON. I would definitely come back here again - everything is very fresh, and they use quality ingredients. read more

i have been wanting to try this bakery for years. I ordered a strawberry shortcake. After looking at some of the reviews about freshness I asked the girl if it was just made and she assured me it was. We took it to a friends house for dinner. When we opened the box it looked more like a birthday cake. I cannot tell you how stale it was. Totally embarrassed that we brought this to the dinner. Should have ordered from wholefoods like I normally do. You know what you are getting. The owner is from France. You would think he could do much better than this. In the trash! NEVER AGAIN! read more

Stopped by here after having lunch because I heard their stuff was good. I ended up getting this little cake like thing, I'm sorry! I forget the name of it but I posted a picture. It looks like a dome of chocolate with almonds on top. It was alright tasting.. I thought the inside was going to be more cake like and soft but it wasn't. After taking another look around the store, I noticed the front wall on the left (if you are facing the door) had a shelf full of items made from chocolate. The chocolate heel caught my eye because my friend really like heels. Got her a dark chocolate one & ended up having a funny conversation with the chasier about "old people likes dark chocolate" this is a quote from my little cousin because I now like dark chocolate. The lady was also night enough to go get me a different heel after looking at it & said the other one was starting to come apart. read more

Strawberry Bakery - a chocolate cake with almonds on top - Bakeries Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Friendly folks and delicious croissants from French speaking folks. Stopped in several times and have not been disappointed with any of the baked goods. Easy to park and run in to get what you want. Prices are very reasonable and quality is good. read more

If you're looking for a strawberry shortcake you may want to look elsewhere - the one my husband bought for my birthday unfortunately was not good. It's my favorite type of cake ... but the strawberries were not fresh and the crème inside was tasteless - tasted like it had been frozen. Again, I feel terrible leaving a bad review and we really aren't picky with food - maybe we got unlucky and got a bad cake?!?! ... really unfortunate as my husband was trying to be sweet and get my favorite for my bday :( I understand cakes without preservatives are hard to deliver but if it's not made fresh - be honest with customers so expectations are clear. read more

This is my favorite bakery in the area! Every time I come here, I get fresh croissants and doughnuts. Seriously, these are hands down the best croissants you will ever have! They have a range of flavors including chocolate, apricot, and berry, but my favorites are the plain and almond. The croissants have a very light glaze that adds just the perfect touch of sweetness, and it's crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The doughnuts are awesome as well, they only have two kinds, plain with vanilla frosting or chocolate frosting. These doughnuts are huge and just so perfectly made! They are a bit dense but fluffy at the same time and the frosting is perfect. I love love love this place and go whenever I get the chance. Do note that the croissants and doughnuts go fast, so you'll need to go early to see the full selection! read more

Strawberry Bakery - Doughnut with vanilla frosting, almond croissant, and plain croissant-all delicious!! - Bakeries Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

At 10 am they had hardly any croissants or pastries left. Second time this happened. Then I asked for a raspberry tart. They heard me request everything else but apparently the raspberry tart I saw them put in a box wasn't for me. Only customers in the store. ?? Cashier was confused. I think they heard me but one of the workers wanted it for herself. read more

All I wanted for my Birthday was a Strawberry Shortcake, my daughters made this happen for me. I was very disappointed. I have never in my life seen a strawberry shortcake look like this before. Its presentation looked like a birthday cake with a fondant coating, there were no strawberries on or around the outside. The inside presentation was not any better. This "cake" maybe had four strawberries cut up on the bottom small layer, the "cake" was dry; no sponginess. The "icing" was hard, no creaminess at all. This "cake" did not taste good at all, no flavor, almost seemed like it had been frozen. We went and brought strawberries to try and salvage/doctor it up. Again, very, very disappointed! read more

So excited to find a bakery in Malvern, but was a bit disappointed by the taste because some of the croissants were a little burnt. Otherwise it was an adorable shop and the prices are great! read more

I am so happy that this top flight French pastry bakery is not showing up on BS lists like "Best of the Main Line" for it is difficult enough now to get all the desired baked goods without them already being out of stock. When wanting to impress clients for meeting at the Great Valley Corporate Center, it was far too common to have people coming in at 7 am and buying out half the store. With almost all the products being fresh for that day, once many items are bought up, snooze you loose for your favorites. This place is as good as it gets west of Paris. read more

I come here every time thinking I will like it, but it is very disappointed ! The eclair and the Florentine was so dry and super sweet. The Florentine was not at all crisp , and the eclair was not at all light! Disappointed! read more

Called ahead to place an order of 3 dozen asst breakfast pastries to pick up on my way to work. Was greeted by a friendly French accent more than happy to accommodate. Work reviews ranged from "how have I never heard of this place!" to "you're bringing more tomorrow, right?" and "you've set a precedence - you have to bring these in every time you come to town now!!" Rave reviews from the entire office! The pastries looked and smelled amazing - I only wish I could have tried them myself! But alas, with my gluten allergy, that was as much as I was able to enjoy. My coworker thoroughly enjoyed them though - not a crumb was left by the end of the day! read more

First time to this bakery.- we ordered a Napoleon cake. The cream itself was good. Not sweet at all. Really like that, but the puff pastry layers was very hard. Not sure if they over baked it or what... it was a little disappointed. The top layer was way too sweet- chocolate layer. I think I would have prefer powdered sugar. read more

Amazing French Bakery! Top Quality, everything is delicious, and fresh! Very friendly people.

I love this place. The croissants are amazing. Biting into them is a memorable experience. Chocolate coconut, Plain, are my favorite croissants and the pastries are a toss up. I assume the french influence, makes them best. The dark chocolate they have here is that perfect balance of dark substantial, and tasty. And...They do large molds, if you want to grand gesture someone for a special occasion. Horses, Eiffel Tower, Toy Soldiers, Santa Stocking... (I've done this with birthdays & Christmas.) And the chocolate is that same melt in your mouth, as in the chocolate covered cherries, etc. The black licorice, and choc covered espresso beans, are great for snackish moments. They also have classes, we did a flourless cake, and John-Pierre was hilarious. Don't know why I stopped signing up for those. Oh. Chocolate glazed donuts here are huge. Come early for the best pick of the litter. Later, not all the community favorites are available. This place is in my "Best of Malvern" direct experience. read more

How can a place named Strawberry not even know how to make a strawberry shortcake! Awful! It was SO stale and then they soaked it in syrup to mask the staleness, which made the bottom of it completely soggy. The cake part had the texture of sandpaper and it wad was iced with hard tasteless icing. How can they not put any whipped cream on it?? Even the 4 year old who was so excited to eat cake screamed out it was the worst cake he ever ate.. and he was right!! read more

Great ooogly moogly! My friend who works at Strawberry, brought over a Flourless chocolate cake with layers of ganache for my birthday. The solid oak table, that he placed it on groaned as the table legs buckled. I've stated that I'm not a huge sweet and cake fan, but this creation made me a convert. Technically I'd put that cake in the category of candybar. Eating it, there was a fine line between wanting more and wanting to curl up under the table. It was Bill gates rich. Score another win for Jean Pierre and Strawberry bakery! read more

Jean-Pierre provided a terrific array of pastries for our wedding at a reasonable price, and he was accommodating of special requests and day-of logistics. The eclairs, fruit tarts and petit fours were all big hits with our guests. read more
