What's with the attitude at this place? I don't get it. Why be rude and nasty to customers? The last 3x I've been in to get something a woman there has had attitude. Most recently this week. Each time it was a different woman. Get your attitudes checked. You all act like your you know what don't stink. You're a bakery. And if you guys don't have a major culture shift in your operation soon enough you'll be baking cakes for no one. read more

Had mold growing inside the of the pie I bought from here. Still waiting on my refund (the price was not cheap). Would not recommend.

we have ordered three custom cakes from bakery house in the last month and they were amazing. They taste great, look great and are so easy to work with it. read more

We've had great luck at Bakery House. We were devotees of a place that closed for retirement and took some time to arrive here. We're birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, special occasion kind of shoppers. The cakes, tarts, donuts etc are just fantastic. We've had great luck. Some friendly counter helpers too read more

Consistently excellent all-around. Very nice and well-trained staff. Great selection of baked goods. Very well organized. Orders always correct and ready on time. And, most importantly, baked goods are amazing!!! Very lucky to have Bakery House in our community. Wish they had a few other vegan/non-dairy options, but Jewish apple cake is one option and outstanding. read more

The Bakery House is a mainline and beyond institution, and with good reason. The reputation for excellence is well deserved, and we utilized their services for our wedding cake and beyond. The booking/planning process was easy and seamless, even though they went through a transition with their team and we ended up having our account handed off to a different woman midway through the process. The at-home tasting situation was delicious and a lot of fun, and we were excited with our selection. The cake itself was designed beautifully, with BH helping my wife see her vision and idea in delicious detail. In addition to the cake, we got trays of cookies and brownies, one for the dessert for our rehearsal dinner and one for our children at the hotel after the ceremony and during the reception with the babysitters. I was able to pick up the trays and double-confirm the cake the day before, and everything was predictably delicious and fabulous. The store, always busy, was easy and quick with picking up and everything. The cake itself was beautiful and delicious and got lots of compliments. As usual, Bakery House rocks. read more

The Bakery House - Forgot to snap one of the before! - Bakeries Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

Always have tasty treats here. I try to stop by whenever I am in Bryn Mawr. Carrot cake square is always a favorite.

The Bakery House has been one of the finest bakeries anywhere for decades ... (and I've been a loyal customer for decades!), but it seems like new ownership is already cutting costs (and cutting corners) and ruining some of their best recipes. Bakery House - please go back to the original recipes (the Cinnamon Tube for example). I am happy to pay more, but only for what it used to be. It was an epic cake and now it is ordinary. You have been so successful because of those amazing cakes and other baked goods! Don't change what made you famous! Please. read more

I recently wrote bad review concerning customer service, the manager reached out and we had great conversation. I am writing this to thank him for his understanding and mutual respect. this was not about food read more

Their lemon tarts were solid. I liked the baked goods here. They are tasty and reasonably priced!

Was in there today and the young people who wait the front counter have a nasty attitude. She saw me waiting and decided to answer the phone instead. And when she got to me she came across in a bitchy attitude. I walked out after being waited on and told my husband about this experience. And he said that is why he stopped going there. read more

Best. Chicken. Salad. Ever. Their cupcakes are perfect. I also occasionally buy a piece of chocolate cake with mocha icing. And they have great blueberry pound cake. I haven't found a better bakery. I go out of my way to shop read more

I was very pleased with the quality of cakes, pastries, bars and biscottis for my daughter's wedding luncheon. Your customer service was exceptional from in the store ordering, to the communication and confirmation of additional items and up to the seamless delivery. Our guests enjoyed every delicious bite of the small wedding cake and baked items. Thank you for helping us make the day so special. read more

Yet another beautiful cake done by Bakery House. I gave them my vision and they went above and beyond! All my guests raved about how delicious the cake tasted and how beautiful it was! read more

The Bakery House - Chocolate chip cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

The best chocolate chip loaf I've ever had! I can't wait to buy more! Very helpful staff. Will be back soon!

Best cheesecake I've ever had. Really amazing. Buttttt a little overpriced and service is not great. It smells amazing in there though.

The products are good, but the prices have gone too high. I spent $35 for a regular-size cherry pie. The Irish soda bread was placed into a plastic bag while still warm and it ruined the outer texture. I used to love this bakery but its not the same. read more

I went to a birthday party. Big one...hall...caterer...everything. There was a sheet cake from this place, half chocolate, half yellow with a chocolate buttercream frosting. I think it was decorated with buttercream roses. I was given a piece of each chocolate and yellow. The chocolate was annoyingly dense to the point of suspecting it was under baked. Tip o iceberg...the yellow cake was SALTY, like someone played a prank and put salt in the sugar container. Everyone at my table noticed it. Tables everywhere were littered with yellow cake plates with one bite missing. My friend had her party practically ruined by this event. Terrible ending to an otherwise fantastic party...great food otherwise by a caterer not associated with The Bakery House. So throw your parties but beware of baked goods from The Bakery House. read more

Delish! Everything is fabulous, and such a treat. The cakes and pies are phenomenal. Efficient friendly staff

I live nearby (arond the corner) from this bakery. When I first moved to the neighborhood, I went in a few times, ordered a few cakes or picked up a pie or cupcakes. I stopped going for several reasons. It is ridiculously overpriced. Whole Foods Bakery is of equal if not higher quality and a fraction of the price. Some of the people who work there can be very rude and unpleasant. Service is hit or miss. The baked goods can be unpleasantly sweet (that is personal preference, but I find some items too sweet). And on occasion items were not fresh -- clearly they had been sitting in the case overnight. But what broke me was the following: I bought an apple pie once that was moldy on the inside, when I went back to complain, the lady behind the counter said "that happens sometimes." Really? I wonder what the health department would have to say about that? Not impressed. Never went back. read more

Ordered a spinach and tomato quiche for a luncheon and it was amazing! It's a deep dish quiche that would easily serve 8. The mini croissants were also delicious. Easy to order online for a timed pickup. read more

Has this winter got you feeling down? The resurgence of COVID bumming you out? RSV coming back with a vengeance? Flu to boot? Your favorite team losing in the World Cup (or the human rights violations)? May I, as neither a doctor nor someone who pretends to play a doctor on TV, suggest the cure to your ills? THIS CAKE! If you haven't figured it out, this review is for cakes ONLY. Specifically their chocolate cake with vanilla icing. And those cakes are fan-f-in-tastic. If you want a grocery store cake (which have their time and place--hint: always!), this is not it. The cake here usually has more moistness and heft. The moistness (sorry if you can't handle that word) is almost brownie like (without tasting like a brownie). And the cake has density to it, not like a super soft grocery store cake (which, again, time and place). If you like really sweet icing with some weight that reminds you of childhood, they nailed it. It's not too much like the trendy modern low-sugar or overly fancy buttercream. (If you really like icing, make sure to get flowers on your cake.) We have had the cookies and cream flavored cake once. That was very good, probably closer to 4 stars though. We had a few bakes good and the chicken salad. They were good, but outshined by the cake. Perhaps if we sampled everything we'd find some duds. But why waste your time on other things when the cake is so good? Arguable downsides are price and sometimes matter-of-fact service. But they're busy and they make a great cake, so that's fine. read more

I wrote a review 4 years ago about purchasing an apple pie at The Bakery House that tasted like it had no sugar at all in it and being disappointed. Well, I hadn't been to the bakery since then until yesterday when I was in the neighborhood and decided to get pastries. I ended up getting a vanilla/vanilla cupcake which was delicious as always but I also got their salted caramel bar which was SO SALTY. The amount of salt mixed in with the caramel was probably 4 times the amount it should have been - it was truly inedible. There's no way that their regular recipe requires that much salt. Basically when the bakery items are good, they are good but it seems like they are very prone to errors in baking. Due to their inconsistencies you truly don't know what you're going to get. read more

Awesome strawberry shortcake. Best I have ever eaten. Place is small but seems t be efficient.

The Bakery House is a classic bakery. They have everything from cakes to pies to cookies and cupcakes (no donuts). The people are friendly and helpful. It's usually crowded because it's a great bakery. They take credit cards and there's street parking. They also make really good chicken salad. I have a niece with peanut allergies and she is able to eat their cakes. read more

The Bakery House - Inside - Bakeries Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

Delicious cakes for last minute parties! Fast and convenient, fantastic selection of cookies and cupcakes as well.

Small bakery right outside the city. Their cakes are delicious and have been a hit for all birthday parties and events. Their staff can easily customize them for you. Some may think they are a bit pricey and in comparison to a grocery store that would be correct. But remember for grocery stores many of their cakes and sweets come frozen, are thawed, and then decorated before selling. They are not made on-site. Only downfall about the bakery house is their staff (at times) can be a bit rude or very unhelpful. read more

Covid policy was in place. Mask needed to enter and they only let one family in store at a time. If you needed to pick up a cake you still had to wait in line outside. But someone will come out and ask for your name and bring your item out or get it ready. Only problem I had was inside store when buying pies, they weren't covered on the top. There were little nats flying all around the store landing on the pies. YUCK. Even where they stored the custom pick up cakes on the shelve, was open for flies. The cakes were in their boxes but not closed all the way maybe for sweating, or design wouldn't allow them to close completely. I would suggest putting finished cakes in a covered area. Because of this, even though I purchased a personal size pie, cupcake and cookies, I couldn't stomach to eat it all. I tried the cookie which was pretty good. But threw the rest out. Probably won't be back. read more

See all

A good friend of mine was having a joint birthday party with her husband. We had a nice dinner made by their personal chef, but they decided to order a cake for dessert from The Bakery House! When the cake came out, everyone was in shock by how beautiful it looked. It was beautiful piped on the outside, had amazing looking decorations including pinecones and two beautiful "love-birds" to match the theme of the party. The cake was really good. The cake itself was really light and airy, but full of flavor. The chocolate chips inside also added a second dimension of delicious flavor! The frosting was pretty good as well too, it was fresh and flavorful. Altogether, The Bakery House puts everything together from the chocolate chips in the cake to the decorations. They truly make an amazing cake! read more

Stopped in to pick up a few muffins and found a very nice classic bakery with a beautiful array of pastries, cakes, and cookies. TBH was quite busy the afternoon that I came in and the nice saleslady behind the counter explained that there was a run on muffins that morning explaining the lack of product when I got there. The bran muffin and banana muffin that I purchased were quite good. read more

First and foremost, the cake was delicious. However, I was so disappointed in the experience I had at The Bakery House, and I noticed a lot of other frustrated customers as well. I placed an order online, which I have done multiple times before. I had an 11am pickup. Show up at 11 on the dot, they don't have my cake but went up stairs and came back and said it will be ready in 5 mins they are decorating it. Great, no problem. Well...20+ mins later and with an antsy toddler they bring my cake. I was literally speechless, the writing was not centered and not what I requested, plus it looked like someone decorated it at home not a reputable bakery. She offered to take it back up, and since I already waited I let her because it looked so bad. She came back a few mins later updated the writing, but it was off center and still incorrect. The girl was annoyed that I was like ehh it just doesn't look like the others I ordered that were the exact same cake order just different text. I felt for $70 this was pathetic looking. No dots on top like the theme requested, uncentered and even my guests were like I can't believe this was done by the Bakery House, their cakes are usually beautiful. I think they are too busy, the attention to detail is downhill and the people working need to get some customer service skills. The fact they thought this was acceptable is mind boggling to me. I was so embarrassed I ended up adding to it to make it less white space... read more

Stopped in for the first time while waiting for the bus to go home from an appointment in the area on Wednesday... Honestly, it was because I had 9 minutes to spare before the scheduled bus and it was freezing out, but OMG. It was like walking into Santa's workshop or something. Super charming shop (I don't need to tell you how AMAZING the inside of a bakery smells) with all kinds of novelties and baked goods lining the walls, refrigerated cases full of treats, bustling with staff and customers and you can look through to the kitchen... It's really just a very cool, completely whimsical feeling place. Like being inside a fairy tale. I grabbed a slice of blueberry cake, and found out it was lemon blueberry cake (even better) but was in a hurry, so I didn't bother to add anything else. The staff was soooo nice. Friendly, engaging, helpful, suggestive in the best way. Like I literally have not one negative about this place (except that they don't have eclairs Lol). When I got outside, the bus had come early and it was 20 minutes til the next one, so, I went back in. I kept adding things and finally left with a nearly overflowing bag containing a slice of chocolate cake, a cheesecake bar, a key lime bar, a carrot cake cupcake, a slice of Jewish apple cake, and a tub of chicken salad with cranberries and almonds (and the lemon blueberry slice I purchased a few minutes earlier). Now listen... My dad makes me a lemon blueberry cake or a carrot cake every year for my birthday, and he makes a Jewish apple cake every year for the holidays... My sister makes amazing cheesecakes, y'all have seen what I can do with a chocolate cake, I go to Florida twice a year just for stone crabs and key lime pie, and I just finished my own batch of turkey salad with cranberries and pecans so my standards are pretty high for all of the things I purchased. Lol. When I tell you not one thing in this haul was disappointing. Lol. I had to look up their insta so I could follow cuz I am in love (thebakeryhouse604). Seriously can't believe I've been seeing a doctor out there regularly for six years and never ventured into the neighborhood, but I guess that's just one of the problems with driving... I live a good 40 mins away, so I never really hang around too much. Anyway, this will totally be a thing for me now. "Oh, I have an appointment with Linda, ooh, yes, I get to stop at the bakery!!!" Thank you Bakery House. You are magic. read more

Small shop filled with goodies! My go to are the cakes whether carrot or marble they are the truth. I have had some of the cookies and will eventually try the soups/pot pies. God bakery has to have good crust. Pretty busy shop so call ahead if you can. They do special events and beautiful designs. They did a beautiful two tier chocolate and carrot cake with a beach theme. Gorgeous. If you are looking for a solid bakery, this is it. read more

I like the treats here, but there are flies flying around inside this establishment. Totally grossed out. The brownies I purchased were not for me, but doing something about the insects!!! read more

What is going on at the Bakery House? It has been my favorite bakery for years, with a charming and communal vibe. I always especially enjoyed watching the bakers rolling out dough and filling the pies at the large communal table in the back. Went in this morning for what have been for years their fantastic scones, but they were a major disappointment - way too brown, overcooked and definitely stale. Inedible. Not the lovely freshness I remembered at all. Far worse, though, the communal baker's table was a huge disorganized mess, so covered with employee's personal water bottles and other assorted debris that there was hardly room for the bakers to work. Frankly, it made me uneasy to think of all the baked goods being made in this messy environment. I have always loved the Bakery House, but I must say I will not be going back. read more
