Go and visit this cute little bakery in the heart downtown Monongahela, Pennsylvania's 2nd smallest…read morecity! We've been here a couple of times. First off, we've complimented the owner/staff as to how impressed we were relative to the cleanliness of the place, particularly the display case. We didn't see one stray crumb both times we were there! It's primarily a bakery but they seem to have daily lunch specials too. For the bakery items, our favorites are the fritters (great with your morning coffee), some kind of crème-filled éclair-style pastry (soooo good,...but soooo bad for you,...see the close-up of the picture as to how it's overflowing with the filling), and the cherry pastry. The lady locks (sp.?) were OK, but different than the ones we're used to. The cinnamon bun we tried was a little dry for us,...but might be a good coffee dipper. As for the lunch specials, we've had the sausage and meatball subs. From what I can remember, they were really inexpensive (think they were $3.50 when we bought them). Tasty, buns super fresh - something I would order again. The prices were super reasonable and the young lady who waited on us couldn't be more friendly. Would we go back? Absolutely! Just wish they would advertise more locally (like on local FB pages,...hint, hint) to remind folks they are still around.

By far the best lady locks I have had in the past 20 years. I was passing thru the town of…read moreMonongahela, and saw the bakery sign. Never would I pass a bakery up. Cookies were delicious..........................cannot wait to order for Christmas.

The shop also has a variety of popcorn for purchase along with a Rita's Italian Ice shop in the back.

This is a nice little hidden gem if you are not from the area and in the know. I had been…read morepreparing for an event at work and my coworker told me about this place. I was looking for bulk candy and needed some specific types of candy. Before going to the actual location I went to the website beforehand and could browse what they have. Their physical location of this store sits in a small plaza below a car dealership along Route 30. Getting here is kind of easy depending on the direction on 30 you are coming. Eastbound, easy, pull onto the road. Westbound, may god have mercy on your soul, try crossing two lanes of downhill traffic while uphill traffic behind you is just zips by or backs up. When you exit, just don't go that way, go the opposite way as it will take you where you need to be and it is much easier on your stress for the day. I don't want to state the obvious here, but you become a kid in a candy shop when you enter. The front of the store is your basic candy store with items that are singular in nature and runs the gambit. Candies that you forgot about will show their faces. Then you move towards the back of the store and enter the holy grail of bulk candy. It is rather well organized and you can find what you want quite easily. If you cannot find what you are looking for, just ask the employee back here and they know exactly where it is. I was looking for something and it was literally right in front of my face, but I kept overlooking it. I spent a lot of money here, but it was bulk candy and for an event, it was well spent money. Definitely will be my spot to go for bulk candy for work.

They have a huge selection of chocolate based (and some non-chocolate) based candies. They also have a ton of sugar free options which is great for those watching their sugar. We tried a variety of treats which were tasty- I particularly enjoyed the chocolate caramels. I was a little disappointed that the kind girls working behind the counter couldn't explain what some of the candies were, but they did offer to let me try one which made up for it some. We also tried a box of their chocolate covered strawberries, but were a bit disappointed as they were a little sour and not very good. However the other chocolates we got were amazing and worth returning!
