Greeted upon entrance and was surprised that I didn't smell freshly baked goods. Although no bakery smell, the options were beautifully presented and the customer service was great.one of my favorite flavor profiles is blueberry lemon so I nabbed two different bakery items that met this criteria. We also purchased a ham and cheddar croissant...I'd skip this and two loaves of bread for my SiL, Kalamata olives, Rosemary and multi-grain. I didn't eat any but family members enjoyed the multi-grain. read more

Everything that we got was fresh and phenomenal. I am a pastry chef myself and this stuff was 12/10. The croissants had beautiful layers, the cheese danish was perfection with the thicker layer of cheese filling and the danish dough was strong enough to hold. The peanut butter cookie was the show stopper though. That thing was unlike any other peanut butter cookie I've ever experienced and I couldn't stop going back for more. The displays were simple and the selection was easy to navigate. I loved being able to see the production space as well. Loved, definitely will be back! read more

This bakery is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. And they create some amazing treats in their kitchen for those two days. Tomato pie was really good. Tomato paste on the tomato pie was tangy and delicious, bread had good texture, and was baked to a golden brown on the bottom. Green olive roll, focaccia bread, sour cherry pastry and chocolate orange croissant, were all very good, amazing. On the down side, peanut butter cookie was too thick and dried out. Pear almond tart was bland. Glazed fastnacht was pretty good read more

The Flour shop is a really good little bakery. It's very Niche with organic and small batch pastries. Everything I've has there has been very good. read more

You can tell by looking at the pastries that they are not fresh. Despite knowing they would not be good we tried two things. Not tasty and not fresh. Do not bother going. It was money and time I wish I did not spend. We will be throwing the danish out to the birds read more

Such a cute little bakery with amazing pastries and breads and super friendly staff! 10/10 would recommend!

Saw this driving by on Mother's Day but it was closed . Went back on Monday and the note on the door said it was only open Friday - Sunday. Took a drive over on Friday. I was the first person there when it opened. I eat breakfast early, this place opens at 8am. Walked in , no bell, I could hear someone in the back. WaIted a few minutes and left. The prices are crazy, $15 for a small dessert. $8 for a loaf of bread. No rolls or bagels that I could see. How do you stay in business working 3 days a week ? read more

If I could leave a "0" I would. I placed a pre-order for today 11/22 at 10am on 11/7. The total was $79. When I looked up my receipt for the address, I noticed that the pick-up date was listed as 11/8 so I called them since their website noted that they were closed 11/22. No one answered so I left a message about picking up my items. All day long I could have received a call however the owner calls 50 minutes before they closed at supper time to say if I don't pick it up, I lose the $79. I asked if I could pick it up on Friday or Saturday as I was over a hour away. They aren't open for 2 weeks and she hung up on me. Excellent customer service- NOT!!! If you enjoy losing money and poor customer service, then this is the bakery for you. No more for me! And by the way, the owner left a VM where she says "F%#k you" on it. I'm the one out $79; I guess she really meant it! read more

This is my second time eating from this bakery. I have enjoyed it both times. The sticky buns are amazing. They have many different pastries to choose from. I have yet to try their homemade breads but those also look great will have to give it a shot next time. read more

I love getting their tasty treats each week at the Emmaus Farmers Market. Besides the weekly pastry staples (sticky buns, cookies, croissants, flatbreads), there are adventurous new items like canneles and bostock. My favorite, hands-down, is the spinach-cheese croissant. It always makes me happy. The breads are quality - I particularly love their hemp bread. And there are usually containers of delicious soup you can stock up on for the week. read more

The Flour Shop - Sticky bun - Bakeries Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Tried calling their # to get some information. A woman answered and as soon as I asked a question she hung up on me. Not sure if it was an accident I called again and this time was sent to a voicemail. Not planning on going here again. read more

I had a great experience using the Flour Shop for my wedding cake. From out very first phone conversation to the actual cake on our wedding day it was wonderful dealing with them. When you're trying to plan a wedding while out of state having excellent customer service goes a long way. For our tasting the bakers provided us with 3 mini cakes of our choosing to sample, and they were very generous portions, so much so that we had plenty to take home and share. We opted with a 3 tier cake with one layer of chocolate cake with peanut butter ganache and two layers of white cake with marscapone and raspberries with a whipped topping. I hate fondant and they were more than willing to work around that. My cake was stunning and tasted delicious. We had plenty leftover and they provided a 1 year anniversary cake as well. read more

Amazing quality. Talented bakers. Highly recommend. Favorites are apple strudel, breads, croissants

I've now come here a few times... and I'm already addicted to their caramel sea salt brownies. When I drop in and they're out of them, it makes me very cranky! Be warned: this delectable treat will last a normal person (which is what I mostly consider myself) at least two days, but sometimes three. It's large enough to share (if you're so inclined) or spread out it's goodness over a few days... it's rich, decadent and sinfully delish-sh-sh-shus...!! Their breads are also good, but honestly, it's hard to see past the caramel brownies. Really. Do yourself a favor and buy yourself one, and let me know what you think, okay? It's totally worth the price! read more

The Flour Shop Bakery is my first stop at the Emmaus Farmers Market each week...I know that a weekly cookie is NOT a good habit, but how can you resist their cookies?!?! They are huge, they are fresh, they are made with high quality ingredients, and they are large enough to share, and have for more than a day. Hurrah! I'll give up dessert the rest of the week for half of one of those cookies. I've also had their croissants, cupcakes and a few other treats, but that $1.50 cookie is a bargain. Sometimes I chomp away while I walk through the market, but if I'm being good, I put it in my satchel for later that day. You can also find them at the farmers markets in Easton & Bethlehem, or at their storefront on Linden in Bethlehem. read more

I have only had their baked goods from the Emmaus Farmer's Market thus far. Favorites are the cinnamon raisin brioche loaf (my son demands this every time we're out visiting my parents in PA. EXCELLENT sliced thick and toasted.) Also, the chocolate peanut butter cookies - OH, DEAR GOD. They are a deep, deep, deep dark chocolate brown color. I was mesmerized by the beautiful color alone - the taste does not disappoint. These are the best peanut butter style of cookie I have EVER HAD. Everything here is a winner, but those are the two things I cannot resist whenever we're at the Market. read more

Others have said to go here. If you aren't convinced yet read this, yet another recommendation then GET TO THE SHOP. Fantastic, R really loves this place. I have visited bakeries all over the world and I make a point to visit this shop at least once a week. Everything we have ordered is good from here....everything. I know good bread and this is good bread. We know sweet treats and oh my god do they have sugary sweet goodness. YUM, just YUM. Oh, please keep in mind that they are closed MONDAY/TUESDAY and open until 6pm (which is unusual for bakeries). read more

I am such a fan of this place! The Flour Shop is the only place in the Lehigh Valley I have found that makes authentic, potato based faustnaughts. The Birthday cake I ordered looked beautiful and tasted divine (2 layer chocolate cake with peanutbutter icing). In addition, the owner Mike has opened early for me on 2 seperate occasions. Because of my work schedule, I needed to pick up my purchases before their 7am opening time. For my money, I won't go anywhere else for baked goods. Keep up the great work Flour Shop! read more

Fresh pastries. Not overly sweet like many bakeries, but delicious, flaky pastries. We had the pear and raspberry and they were great. Small shop, but a must try. read more

Best baking this side of the Atlantic! Truly European tastes, textures, and delicious quality! The croissant are amazing and their sourdough breads are my daily breakfast. Lovely owner too! read more

If you are looking for a muffin or danish this place is great, but DO NOT order a cake here. I ordered a salted caramel cake for my anniversary. I was told that even though it was a special order that they could make it. Instead of making caramel, salting said caramel with a reasonable amount of salt and then adding the caramel to buttercream icing, very large crystals of sea salt seemed to have been mixed directly into and throughout the icing. We tried our best to eat it but couldn't even finish a slice. I was picking large pieces of salt out of my mouth as I ate it and it gave us stomach aches. I took the cake back uneaten and told the baker who had made it. She was very apologetic and stated that she had never made one before. She said she would make a new cake and have it done by the end of the week for me. Later that day a woman named Mary who claimed to be the owner called and told me that I would not be getting a new cake. That I got what I had ordered and it was my fault that I did not like it. I expressed my concerns and said that I would have loved to have kept the cake, but I really couldn't eat it because of the amount of salt in it. She told me that salt does not dissolve in caramel (?!?). She refused to give me store credit, a new cake or a refund and then hung up on me. I was visiting this bakery once a week, but I will not be returning. I have never been treated so rudely by someone. I didn't even bring up the fact with Mary that the cake and icing were very heavy and not very good. So even without the failed icing I wouldn't recommend this bakery if you are looking for a cake. Bottom line: terrible customer service, extremely rude and uncompromising owner, heavy cake and icing, don't order something speciality read more

This is absolutely the best bakery in the Lehigh Valley. If you don't go there, you are really missing something special. Fabulous baked goods and really nice people. The prices are extremely reasonable. Real bakeries are a lost art in the Valley. If you only had one call to make, this would be the place! read more

This place gets great reviews for a reason. They offer great baked goods. Food starts with a visual, and the visual at the Flour Shop is fantastic. Everything I have ordered has tasted great. I sometimes take a large variety of items to my office and there is always a great response (not just because it is free for them). The Flour Shop staff is very friendly. read more

So fresh and tasty .Truly a great bakery .

I was completely impressed with the cake I ordered for husbands birthday, I was trying to find a bakery that could come close to a cake his mom use to get for him from a bakery in south jersey, The Flour Shop did it!!! He was so happy with his cake, delicious and moist and the flavor was right on ;). Thank you for making his birthday special ! I also purchased some cookies while I was there. The French macaroons are outstanding and the Linzer cookies are to die for ! read more

Omg, such amazing pastries! The smell, the appearance... Whoa! However, you are paying top dollar here. I stop here only as a treat. With their prices, I will not be a regular. read more

One thing Bethlehem is missing are family owned bakeries. We have ordered a few cakes from here and are very impressed with how beautiful they are. On 3 occasions I've dropped off invitation and they have designed the cake to match! Very creative. A little on the pricy side but it's worth it for the detail they put into their cakes! We have tried other items as well, the brownies are very good and they sell granola from time to time too that is very yummy, pricy but yummy!!! The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is cause the customer service is hit or miss, never terrible but sometimes it is lacking... read more

The Flour Shop - an example of a cake designed from an invitation. Every detail was dead on! I think this is a quarter sheet and it cost $50!! - Bakeries Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Faschnauts were horrible. Very disappointing. My order was wrong, one of the donuts was about as big as a golf ball and couldn't bite into them. Wasted ten bucks. Stick to your other baked goods. So much better. read more

I first found out about this place at the Sunday's Emmaus farmer's market. Their black bottom cupcakes, tea biscuits, filled croissants are so good. Then last Saturday I went to the Easton farmer's market. Come to those farmer's markets early. The danish is so good. Everything I have got so far has ranked higher then any other bakery so far. Now I have not been to their store. I would be afraid to. Due to doing heavy damage to my bank account.. But I rather spend my dollar locally then some where else that god only knows what's in their bake goods at other bakeries. I will be stick with the flour shop! read more

Closed. They are closed...at least their storefront is. Sorry I didn't get to try it.

We see them at the Easton farmers market. Excellent product. Cabbage streudel is savory and delicious. Everything is thought through from the crostini toppings to the cucumber jalapeño salad they use as a side for the paninis. Oh and their bread is great too. read more

Hands down best bakery for party cakes!! I have gotten two cakes from them now for my daughters parties and they are all beautifully designed, great prices and tasted amazing!! They take last minute orders and they are so friendly. I tell everyone to use them. I live an hour away and I'll use them again and again! read more

The Flour Shop - Arrival party cake!! Amazingly done as always from the flour shop! - Bakeries Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Their sticky were made by rolling the dough out, adding the sticky cinnamen filling and then rolling it up. Now they are just dough with the sticky cinemen added to the outside of a heap of dough. Not good anymore. Their cranberry scones were thin triangles of pastry just perfect to eat in the car. Leaving the scone in its bag you could just break off a chunk and eat it as you were driving. Any crumbs were kept in the bag. now what you get is a softball size of dough which ou cannot just break off a chunk. you need a knike and plate to eat it. quality is slowly going downhill as they try to short cut their processes. for shame. I got a sticky bun from the near by Gian and it was prepared th way stick buns should be made. read more

I hate complaining and rarely write reviews. especially negative ones, but I had to share my experience with The Flour Shop Bakery. While their other desserts and pastries may be good.....DO NOT GET YOUR WEDDING CAKE HERE!!! I ordered my wedding cake from The Flour Shop Bakery after having a great tasting at the bakery. We fell in love with the Vanilla Cake with Lemon Curd filling and the Almond Cake with Fresh Berries and Bavarian Cream. The cake we received at our wedding tasted NOTHING like the cake at the tasting. The cakes tasted like typical box cake with mediocre filling- very disappointing. Aside from the cake flavors...the appearance and design of the cake was very sad. We ordered a 3 tiered cake with ivory fondant ruffles and mauve fondant flowers. We ordered fondant because our wedding was outside in August and we suspected buttercream would not hold well...The cake we received was completely buttercream and by the time the reception came it was melting and tilting. The were no ruffles, only what appeared to be an uneven icing job.The flowers (also buttercream) looked like flowers anyone could make with a Ziploc bag and store bought icing. The tasting and cakes on display at the bakery were very misleading and not what was delivered on our wedding day. read more

I ordered my wedding cake from The Flour Shop and it was amazing! All my guests raved about my flavors (honeyed lavender and red velvet) and were fighting to take leftovers home. The Flour Shop made everything so easy and I really enjoyed the cake tasting experience! Big thank you to The Flour Shop for making my wedding cake unforgettable. read more

I haven't yelped anything in a while, but after discovering this gem, thanks to the good reviews here on yelp, I had to log in and give my review. I ordered my birthday cake over the phone, paid with a c.c. and just picked it up. Easy as cake. I was throwing my own birthday party, and requested a chocolate peanut butter cake, masculine in style, no flowers, no writing, and asked if they incorporate the silver balls, often found decorating wedding cakes. It was perfect! There was a chocolate ganache on the top, dripping down the sides, with green vines coming up the sides. The silver b.b.'s I requested, which I think are called dragees, were scattered on top, and were different sizes, giving it a "stary sky" look. Most importantly was how good the cake tasted. Honestly, almost EVERYONE either complimented, or asked me where I purchased the cake. I will return here again soon. Thank You! read more

I ordered my daughter a white cake with fresh strawberries for her 10th Birthday, and it was the best I've ever had. Fresh cream icing, fresh strawberries, almond flavor. The cake was so big, we had to give some to the guests, and neighbors. I ate 3 pieces, and couldn't stop. Outstanding! My husband bought other items for my children, when he picked up the cake, and said that everything was excellent. Of course, there was none for me when I got home from work. read more

Frustrating service, trying to design a cake with overly rude, non conversational Mary. The counter staff was pleasant, and sticky bun delicious - but will be taking my cake order and questions elsewhere. read more

It is a hit and miss sort of place. Peanut butter fudge cake was delicious , but a little heavy . Bread was very good but can only get it on certain days, so call ahead. Danishes are excellent if they are fresh. Strawberry short cake was a big disappointment. Had to throw the whole thing out. read more

I can not speak about their breads but their cake and pastries were incredible. did a tasting of different cakes for a party and have to say every one was great.. Esp the lavender cake hmm hmm.. also met with one of the bakers - a great guy and very accommodating. A+++ read more
