Birthday Cake
Di K.

There is a lot of little bakery's around my house, however this one is a winner for me. They always have a great selection of freshly made desserts, cakes and breads. Lately I notice they also adding a small hot buffet type of prepared Polish foods. On Fridays they have some deli meats as well. Sometimes You have to be there pretty early to try it, otherwise it's all gone. The service is always really nice and helpful. This year for my husbands birthday I ordered Birthday cake from them and I have to say it was delicious. It was white and chocolate cake with strawberries and berries smattered with whipped-cream. Chocolate wafers were wrapped all around the cake and on the top was chocolate and fresh strawberries and raspberries. The cake was super moist and you could taste all the different flavors that were inside the cake. All together Very good.

Bad meat inside good meat outside

I always liked fresh Tatar. This was my last purchase from this Store and I want everyone to know the meat was only fresh on the outside but once cut in half I noticed the meat inside was smelly and brown. They literally wrapped bad meat with fresh and pink on the outside to make it look good!! if you buying Tatar wchich is fresh ground filet make sure to look inside!!

Jarosch Bakery recently moved into a new location, but it still has all of the same amazing flavors…read moreas before. The new location is in a brand-new building, and their coffee selection has expanded as well. Their butter cookies are the best I've ever had, and it's difficult to leave without a box. Sometimes I even buy two boxes--one to eat on the way home and another to share with my wife when I get there. They have delicious, fresh donuts every day, and I especially love the donut holes they sell on Fridays. I also love that they carry Ideal Bakery's kolaczki and some of their other products. They offer fresh bread that they can slice for you when you order, or you can take it home unsliced. The staff is extremely friendly and patient while taking your order, and they never make you feel rushed, even when there's a line of customers. I ordered a cake and a dessert table from them for a party, and they did an amazing job. Salma was incredibly helpful throughout the process, offering recommendations and assisting us with our order. She took the time to answer all of our questions and made the entire experience stress-free. Keep up the great work, Jarosch Bakery!

I've been a customer for years…read more The food is wonderful! Many cakes for events Sadly since they moved locations they don't bake onsite anymore Also at the new location the parking Sucks! Especially for handicapped customers. The adjacent stores customers take it all. And are even rude about it. Blocking people in. Makes it a very difficult experience now Loved it more in the old location

I used to frequent pastry house hippo at Mitsuwa around once a week for a few years. This place I…read morewent to once pretty early on after going to crescent bakery to give them a try their chocolate cake didn't hold up to house hippo, so I wrote them off. I revisited when I had a bad experience with house hippo not sure if they changed their chefs or recipe but it was a bad experience across several slices I purchased that day. Long story short I enjoyed the slices here quite a bit and even found their matcha cake tasting better than house hippo's the grade of matcha is higher quality as well. I would say the Kahlua, Tiramisu and the Matcha are among my favorite slices so far, they are glorious with a nice cup of tea and not so sweet that I regret eating a slice and can even consider going for a 2nd. Their crepe I would say is better than Hippo's also, but pastry house hippo had the best chocolate and unique cheese cake I have ever tried. This place does offer unique slices I can't find elsewhere in their own right and will find me as a repeat customer for those slices and the lack of crowds at mitsuwa is another bonus. Cons: When boxed wax paper for each individual cake is not present, which helps when taking the cake out of the box without having to grab the cake.

This is a small pastry shop. Parking lot is sufficient but kind of limited. We tried a couple…read moreslices. One was raspberry mousse and the other was moka coffee cream. They tasted kind of average, nothing extraordinary. The owner was very kind and helpful. It's about $5-6 for one slice.

Had lemon and Carmel flavored cupcakes made for my husbands 50TH birthday party and they were…read moreamazing! Delicious and decorated just as we requested. Great place for any occasion!

I would avoid this establishment…read more I called on 1/27 at 12:40 PM to order vegan cupcakes for my son's birthday. The employee, Tim, told me they had 6 vanilla and 6 chocolate vegan cupcakes available. I requested 4 chocolate cupcakes, and he said I would need to prepay and that they would be ready in 15 minutes. I was surprised they could be prepared that quickly, but went along with it. We picked them up about 30 minutes later and brought them home. That evening, my son tried one and it was extremely hard, with grainy frosting. Overall, the cupcake tasted terrible. We didn't eat the remaining three and left them in the box. The next day, I returned to the shop to share my concerns and was told Tim would call me back. He did call and said they had tried a cupcake and felt it tasted fine. He also told me that I may not know what vegan cupcakes taste like. I didn't argue, but I've had plenty of vegan desserts before, and they've never been this inedible. He then explained that the batter used was leftover from a cake made a week earlier and that it's common practice for them to freeze batter and make cupcakes later. I was surprised to hear this. More disappointing was that there was no attempt to make things right or offer any solution--only to explain why they wouldn't provide a refund. I told him that was fine, but that I wouldn't be returning or recommending their shop and would be sharing my experience. If you're looking for vegan options or any dessert options and decent customer service, there are plenty of other places in the area. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
