    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.

    Classic cheesecake. Great price $4.50 .

    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.

    I've heard nothing but great things about this cafe, so my expectations were high - I'm happy to…read morereport that this place is worth the hype! 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!

I think the issue is with the chocolate they use for the mocha but it had such an odd flavor that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. The croissant was fine and not memorable and I won't say too much on the macaron because I think I just realized I'm not really a macaron person so I can't fairly judge them there. The cafe is itty bitty and there is absolutely no seating inside so it's more of a grab and go situation. There are a few seats outside so hopefully you can snag a seat when the weather is nicer. Overall, I think there are a lot of other good coffee shops in Columbus that I don't see myself going out of my way to come back.

    **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

When you walk in you pull a number and wait for it to be called. Almost felt like I had walked into the DMV. lol We peeked at the display counters while we waited and tried to have our orders ready when it was our turn to expedite the wait for those after us. There were a few shelves that displayed various cookies, breads and things you could grab and go. The place was clean and the process was orderly. They seemed to keep things in the front stocked. We probably waited about 15 minutes. I pulled number 90 and the were calling the last of the 60's. We ordered several items to try including the packzis with three different fillings since we went at the right time of year for these. We grabbed a cheese, strawberry and lemon. We also chose a cheese danish, maple cream stick, apple fritter, cherry turnover and a donut stick. Once we told them what we wanted the girl helping us went to the back and started filling our box. A few moments later she returned, we paid and headed out the door with our sweets. My husband didn't want to wait so we opened up the box once we got to the car and each took one bite from each of our selections. We didn't find anything wrong with our choices. The one thing I was thrown off by is how they make their apple fritters. I almost missed ordering one bc they look nothing like the apple fritters I'm used to eating. It was just ok in my book. Not something I would get again. The donut stick on the other hand is something I wouldn't miss next time. In fact I'd be getting more than one. It was probably my favorite item of all we selected. The cream stick dough was soft. The cream wasn't too sweet. The only thing I would have changed was to have the maple icing be a bit more maple flavored. The turnover was nice and crispy flakey but the filling was just ok. Maybe a different flavor next time if I would get one. How can you go wrong with a cheese danish? Warm this slightly and you're hitting a home run. This was a nice stop and we learned the difference between what we liked and loved. We know just what to get next time. I will say they have a great social media presence and do a phenomenal job interacting with their customers and community.

Throughout the years, they have had a variety of different offerings, but they're always the same staples, which is their incredible baked goods, their cakes and sweet cake rolls, a small variety, sandwich, sandwiches and fun drink drinks. They currently have sweet crêpes, but they used to have savory who wants as well back in the day. This entire plaza is an Asian heaven, and I like to bring people from out of town to it because you can literally spend hours in this area. As you can tell for my photos, they are always this busy. The place itself is nice and clean, and the staff is friendly. I'm not a sweet person at all, so I like that this place has unique offerings and some savory ones too. I recommend the mango cake, the sweet butter rolls that literally taste like a slightly sweeten butter inside of a soft pillow bread, and for you to take a loaf of bread home as well. Pro tip: later in the day, the offerings from this bakery are half off at Tensuke Market. This place has been voted as one of the best bakeries in the country & we have it in our own backyard. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out.
