    Well decorated and tastes as good as it looks
    Oli G.

    Mostly everything is well executed here. Their cheesecakes are smooth, velvety, and silky along with tasty as well. They've got the perfect combination of mix and flavor profiles for their cheesecake base that doesn't make their cheesecakes to thick or dense like a brick like the Cheesecake Girls cheesecakes. Don't get me wrong CG cakes are good but so dense that you could jack up a car with it and change your tires. Bearded Baker is lighter and fluffier than them. In addition I believe they have a more extensive selection than CG. The only problem with this place is their Chocolate Chip cookie. I don't know what happened with the batch they sold but the one I had tasted too EGGY like it wasn't mixed well or properly. Give em a go if you're in the area.

    HUGE shoutout to The Bearded Baker crew It's a shame anyone in the US would write a hateful review without reaching out to these genuinely awesome, sweet, laid-back, understanding, and caring people. They would have absolutely made it right! I've never felt so good spending my money - their cakes are amazing, and they truly care about their craft and their customers. And to put a bad review on the pineapple cheesecake?! Oh my God, when I tell you that is the BEST cheesecake you will ever taste, I mean it! It's disheartening. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but to write intentionally to hurt a business is shameful. I come every Friday for three for the weekend, and they're so attentive. Please disregard any negativity! The Bearded Baker lifts me up every time. Love you guys and your amazing cakes! #TheBeardedBaker #BestCakesEver #SupportLocalBusiness #PineappleCheesecakeKing #USABakery #BeardedBaker

    Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Cheesecake filling
    Nancy L.

    This was the very first time that I have been in the East Market. It was very clean and there were lots of food booths to look at and consider. The Bearded Baker had a line waiting to order so that is the first place that I wanted to try. I ordered the Pineapple Upside Down cake with cheesecake filling. It was absolutely delicious! My husband and I shared it and it was plenty large enough for two people. The price was $12 so it was a bit pricey but reasonable for two people. I got the cherry! I would definitely come here again! Yum!

    I've heard of The Bearded Baker, so I decided to try them out; after all, if you know me, you know I have a sweet tooth, indeed. Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies. They looked soft and gooey, thus I thought that'd be a great taste test (crisp and crunchy, then they're an automatic no-go in my book). Glad to report the cookies are soft and gooey. Not bad at all. I love the sea salt chucks sprinkled on top. If I'm in the area, and in the mood for a sweet treat, I'd happily stop in here. I can't help but wonder what their orangesicle cheesecake tastes like. The nice gal working the counter did say it's more of a sweet taste than a citrus taste, somewhat of a bummer, so maybe in good time.

    Snickerdoodle cookie sandwich

    All good things at The Bearded Baker located in East market! The bearded baker himself sold me this delightful snickerdoodle cookie sandwich with cream cheese buttercream filling. He shared with me that The Bearded Baker started with gourmet cheesecakes and is evolving to include other delicious treats including mini cheesecakes, cookies, and soon to be released cream cheese cinnamon rolls! I'll definitely be back to try other treats in the near future.

    There is so many vendor in the East Market that I still need to explore. And this time I got some gourmet cheesecake from The Bearded Baker. In store, they will have rotational flavors available for purchase by slices. If you are up for a whole cheesecake, you can order through their website. I got the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake and it taste incredible. The strawberry based cheesecake with the chocolate cake layer in the middle and the chocolate crust. The texture and the flavor is totally on point.

    Classic cheesecake. Great price $4.50 .

The line moved fast and the staff were very efficient. There was outside seating as well as a few seats inside. I like that they support local small business.

We were gifted tickets for the German Village picnic Giftory experience which gave us two macarons of our choosing and two vanilla shortbread cookies for free. We chose the raspberry chambord and pistachio macarons while also ordering two pistachio cloud matchas. All of the desserts were excellent. The raspberry macaron was very fruit forward while the pistachio was more subdued, but still had a spot on flavor. Even with sugar coating the shortbread cookies, the touch of vanilla made them taste light. I could easily see myself eating far too many of those. The star of the show was the matcha. 10/10! I've never had a pistachio flavored drink, so I was a little hesitant, but wow, I'm glad I ordered it! The matcha base wasn't overly sweet nor was the pistachio foam overly salty. Perfect mix of sweet and savory. Even thought the line was out the door, it moved at a decent pace and our drinks didn't take too long to receive. I'd like to try the strawberry matcha next time, but I'm not sure if I can pass up the pistachio Highly recommend!

    **5 stars for the milk bread**…read more FUN FACT -- Tous Les Jous is owned by a South Korean food conglomerate group (same concept as Paris Baguette) and this is a bakery with Asian and European baked goods. I visited Tous Les Jours for the first time on Memorial Day (May 2026) at the Columbus location. I arrived around 2:30pm on a Monday. Surprisingly, they had lots of options available even with my late arrival because most bakeries run out of items quickly. They sell croissants, cakes, milk breads, macarons, drinks, etc. MY ORDER ($18.95 total for 4 items) -- Twist Donut ($2.95), Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50), Almond Croissant ($4.75), and a Whole Milk Loaf bread ($6.75). 1. Twist donut ($2.95) - sweet but not overly sweet. It tasted just like a regular twist donut that you'll find at other donut shops. 2. Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50) - good. Perfect savory option for breakfast or lunch. Soft and buttery bread base. I think $3 would have been a better price but the bread roll was good. I ate this in my car before driving back to Cleveland. It held me over until I got home. 3. Almond Croissant ($4.75) - my favourite item - buttery with some almond cream or paste inside. Topped with almonds. I don't like creamy things at all and I didn't realize that this croissant had a cream inside until I opened it but the cream is very light and it is more of a spread than a cream. 4. Whole Milk Loaf Bread ($6.75) - Fresh and soft. Definitely my other favourite item. This was all gone within a day, that's how good it was. Buttery goodness. The best bread. Overall, I enjoyed visiting Tous Les Jours and I hope to visit their Cleveland location soon. I ordered takeout so I didn't sit in but they have some tables and chairs available. I'll definitely be back if I'm close by the area again. Tous Les Jours means everyday in French and I wish I could visit them everyday...haha. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 101/250 total reviews in 2026 - 942 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026

    New location, same great service and taste!…read more I have tried donuts in many states and countries and I have yet to find one better than here. Well, if I'm honest there was this Amish stand at a farmers market in Central PA that had outstanding donuts, but they only sold them a few times a year and I have no idea how to find them! This trip, I got the big boy donut, a white icing cake donut, and a pretzel. The big boy donut is a huge glazed donut as big as your head. That's right, you can hold it up to your head and it will be just as large!!! This time, however, they put a twist on them and added icing to a few. I know, sweet on top of a sweet sugary donut seems like overkill, and it was. But come on, anyone willing to eat a donut as big as his head has no problem with something super duper sweet! The other items were equally good, and I liked their new larger location. They even added a few new items since I was last there like donut holes/bites. This place continues to reign as the donut king in my estimation, and the fact that they FINALLY accept credit cards now is a huge win.

Anyway, the number system works well, gives time to look around. They had a nice variety and even packaged bread and cookies. The pack of 10 cookies for $9.50 didn't appeal to me so I stuck with donuts. The donuts were delicious. I paid a little over $11 for 5 donuts. The croissant donut was outstanding. Really, all 5 were fresh and well worth the trip and the price. I will definitely return for more.

Immediately, the sights and scents take me back to a corner bakery on Long Island or in the city. I practically ran to the black & white cookies - a forever fave! We got cannolis and the B&W but I will definitely be back to try more things. The cookie was out of this world and just like from my favorite Manhattan corner deli. The cannolis are authentically old school, with the filling not super sweet for American tastes but rather attuned to an Italian palate. So fresh and good! If you're looking for an authentic New York Italian bakery in Columbus, Auddino's is it! Mangia.

I ordered the iced matcha latte and iced black sesame lattes (both with oat milk). After mixing, the matcha latte was a light shade of green and pretty much just tasted like milk which was kind of disappointing. The black sesame latte on the other hand, had a nice strong black sesame flavor. The mango and strawberry smoothies were super refreshing especially since it was hot outside. I actually saved the matcha roll for 2 days later and it still tasted really fresh and yummy.
