Chocolate Lovers Overload Cake
Connie W.

I ordered a cake from here for an upcoming birthday. Their extravagant cakes are ready within 24 hours! It looked and tasted great! People who don't love chocolate cake enjoyed it. And what you get for what you pay is so worth it. So happy we got the birthday cake from here!

Go Lions!!!!

Amazing bakery! Amazing products! I went to see in person the Amon Ra St Brown cake....I was not disappointed! In my pre going there research...I saw that they have done multiple amazing cakes like this in the past! I got there about 1pm on a beautiful sunny Friday. There was a lot of buzz outside!The line to get in the store was not too long, so I stood and admired the display cake as I waited to sample their wares. Once in, the bakery items were quite enticing. From thinking I'll just get a couple of cookies to...1 of each cookie type they had (6!) And some AMAZING looking cinnamon rolls to enjoy the next morning, I walked out with quite a haul! Everything was fantastic! The cinnamon roll was not only gorgeous and perfect looking...it had to be the best I've ever eaten! Looking forward to going back again soon!

Double layer Yellow cake with buttercream filling & strawberry mousse filling.

We used Home Bakery for our wedding this year. Mary and the entire process were amazing! From the initial phone call with Mary, to the cake tasting , to the easy delivery, to the last bite of our wedding cake eaten, it was all so enjoyable. We have recommended them to all our friends looking for a celebratory dessert! I'm currently ordering another cake from them now and I'm so excited to see and taste what they create for us! Mary is so attentive and makes the process easy and stress free. The Home Bakery is our go-to bakery!!

I have used Home bakery for many special events in my families life for many years and Mary always goes above and beyond with her ideas and service. Most recently for my mom 75th birthday this summer. Mary made this truly special with an amazing cake and this was the highlight of the celebration Her attention to detail, creativity and personal touch made everything delicious. I highly recommend this bakery for anyone is looking to make their events memorable. Yvonne

Mary @ Home Bakery is such a pleasure to work with. She makes she you love your cake before you leave & if you don't she will have the proper modifications made. Cake is so delicious & I loved how it turned out. I've been a repeat customer & will continue to be.

I ordered a wedding cake for my son's wedding. Mary was very helpful and accommodating! She made exactly what the bride wanted and the cake was delicious! They delivered it to the venue with plenty of time to set up. All in all an excellent experience and I would recommend to everyone!!!

I ordered my anniversary cake here and it was DELICIOUS. The window displays are always stunning here. I always thought this place would be out of my price range, because of how beautiful the store is, but they met me right where I needed to be! We loved our cake and can't wait for another reason to order our next one.

The Home Bakery is a staple in downtown Rochester. In an amazing historic building. The side of the building with the beautiful stone is awesome enough. Their window displays are epic and show off their craft. Holiday themes are especially fun and a beautiful sight! Step inside and you are greeted with cookies, pies, brownies, donuts, cannolis, kronuts, and other baked goods to name a few. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach coming in. It is tiny inside and a little awkward with people shuffling in and out. So pack your patience! Staff are friendly and helpful. Price wise, not too bad! The kronuts are priceless though, the best thing they have! It's creamy, flaky and delicious all at once. Cookies are a very good size for the price. They also do custom cakes. A few vegan and gluten free options. Kronuts are $4.50 each. Cannolis - $2.75 Cookies between $2-4 depends on the size and type. Big dog treats for $1.25. Oh and don't forget to get your doggie a treat!

Groom's cake made perfectly!

Mary from Home Bakery did the gorgeous wedding cake and groom's cake at my daughter's wedding this past weekend. The white-on-white classic wedding cake was absolutely meticulous! And nobody can beat the flavor of Home Bakery frosting. The grooms cake, a wine bottle in a crate made entirely of cake and frosting, was so accurate and life-like, that people wanted to touch it! All of our guests were taking pictures of the groom's cake and couldn't believe how perfectly it was rendered. So my advise it to run, not walk, to get your wedding cake/groom's cake from Home Bakery. All the staff is wonderful, but be sure to ask for Mary. There isn't anything she can't pull off with perfection! This was the best decision we made for our daughter's wedding.

ONE EXAMPLE OF THE HOME BAKERY'S INCREDIBLE WINDOW DISPLAY: THIS IS MADE OUT OF CAKE!
Amanda L.

Be still my heart! Thinking about The Home Bakery fills me with this intense joy & I'm not sure how much of it is a nostalgic endorphin rush from all the sweets I've consumed from here in the past or just reminiscing on how many out-of-this-world insanely awesome window displays I've seen here. KEEP IN MIND! Every time you drive or walk past this store & have the immense privilege to glance upon their window display, it is made entirely out of confection! How do they do this?! I really want to know. It's just simply TOO incredible for the mind to rationalize. They rotate the window display about once a season I believe & are always so current as well. I remember when the final season of Game of Thrones was airing, they create a Game of Thrones window display & it was honestly the coolest thing ever! One Christmas, they also did an entire holiday Star Wars display, complete with a rotating R2-D2 spinning around inside of a gift box! Window display aside, I can also attest to their delicious desserts inside. I've come here for all sorts of occasions big & small - my personal favorites were coming here to get mini pies for Pi Day & a hilariously designed cake of theirs for NYE/New Year's this past January! :) I've also tried many of their donuts, cronuts, and other pastries & they are equally gorgeous to look at & delicious to taste! Perfect for grabbing a few to bring in to share with coworkers or you know...just for yourself. :)

She asked if we'd ever been before and explained the different flavors of cookie dough and that they make it right there. They also serve Chocolate Shoppe ice cream from Wisconsin. You have the option to mix & match and add toppings. We shared a scoop of chocolate chip & birthday cake cookie dough. They were sweet, as you'd expect, & very creamy. Our favorite was the birthday cake because the almond flavoring really shines. We ate at the stools along the window & chatted with the couple who thanked us for coming in. I'd visit again just to see them! Next time I want to try the ice cream too! Check them out!

There were a variety of flavors for cookie dough which are all homemade. Additionally, all the ice cream is from Wisconsin which, i did not know, is the ice cream state. Had one scoop of cookie dough and one scoop of ice cream, and both were very rich in flavor. Definitely perfect for those with a sweet tooth, but it can be too sweet for some. It will be worth a visit to check out the cookie dough and ice cream

It is a VERY small place with horseshoe shapes bars and stools, a few 2 top booths, and off to one corner, hidden, a hallway with 3 booths to fit 4. Luckily we found the last table empty and stuffed our stuff in a corner. Had we been prepared to come here, we would have not brought the stroller, definitely no room for it. Table service was fast by what looked like a High school kid, just like old times. We ordered burgers, fries, and a kids meal. Burgers/sandwiches and fries are all Ala carte. 2 burgers, 1 set of fries,1 order fried pickles, a kids meal, 1 milkshake and 1 pop was just under $70. The burger was DELICIOUS, juicy, flavorful, good quality meat, cheese and bacon. Fries were just okay, but the pickles were good. My daughter enjoyed the hot dog. We weren't going to order a milkshake but my daughter overheard the table behind us order one, and so we had to get one too. The waitress said they were huge, and in fact all three of us split one milkshake. And it was a rich, flavorful milkshake too.

Service was friendly and attentive…read more Interior was run down, many ceiling tiles were missing. Menu was confusing compared to the board that was in the wall. I expected more of a smash burger based on the diner vibe and some online pictures so I ordered a double Pattie. That was a mistake as the patties were not smashed and were quite thick. I actually removed one of the patties to make the burger edible. Burger patties were extremely salty. Bacon was tasty but too thick to be on a burger as you couldn't easily bite through it. Burger besides being salty was over cooked and not a lot of flavor. Didn't have their traditional bun so had to get the brioche. Seasoned fries didn't have a lot of seasoning. Half order of onion rings was only three, very disappointing. Chocolate milkshake was very good.
