We wanted some sweets, but were pleasantly surprised to see that Chicken Paprikash was also available. It was very good chicken paprikash too. It tasted just like the paprikash my mom made when I was growing up. The young man that helped us showed us the pan that looked like it was packaged to take home. He instantly offered to heat it and split it to so we could enjoy the chicken paprikash for lunch. That was perfect and very appreciated! I'd definitely come back just for the paprikash on future visits home. The baked goods are the ones I remember from childhood, not fancy modern bakery items. The cases were filled with delicious kolaches, poppyseed rolls, pistachio bars, and various cookies. For dessert I had an apricot kolache and really enjoyed it. The filling was minimal, but the pastry had a great texture and flavor. There were many fresh baked items already packaged up for those in a rush. Perfect little trays of cookies to take to a party or the office. The service was great. It started great with the young man that offered to heat up our chicken paprikash. When my mom ordered her poppyseed roll the owner grabbed a fresh baked one from the back. Friendly and accommodating!

My expectations were exceeded to say the least, and my friend LOVED it! Not only was the cake gorgeous, but it tasted fantastic as well. I did not serve it until 3 days after picking it up and it tasted like it was freshly made that day. The cake was not dry whatsoever, frosting was still soft and not hardened. I would 10000% order from here again.

A dozen is about $18 which isn't bad at all. The chocolate glazed yeast was also unremarkable. Not dry or stale or off flavored but just kinda there and not any kind of fluffy lightness you'd write home about. The crullers here are unique! Very rugated, soft, fall apart in your hand and quite tasty. Best in the Cleveland area and I'm not even a big cruller fan. The plain glazed cake had a great texture. Moist inside, some crispiness outside. But it had an offish kinda almost remotely lemony flavor I am not a fan of.

MACARONS -- I bought 3 macarons (strawberry milkshake, salted caramel, and lavender). Each macaron cost $3.25 each and they are slightly bigger than traditional macarons. The flavours were good but slightly off from what I'm used to but I can't quite explain it. I wouldn't say they tasted artificial but it was just different or maybe it was slightly artificial in flavour. My favourite flavour was the lavender. The salted caramel was too sweet and it almost didn't feel as if it should have been a macaron flavour. I did like it though. The strawberry milkshake was good but it needed a little more strawberry flavour. Overall, Kelsey Elizabeth is a nice bakery. I heard their cookies are delicious.

You will be so happy to know these cakes are just as beautiful, maybe more, then they are on Instagram! When we saw the holiday menu online, we knew we had to try it immediately. I love that they have an online ordering system where you are promptly invoiced to submit half of your payment ahead of time, and pay the other half when you arrive to pick up your order. The Studio is super cute with vibrant colors and quirky details that really give the space personality. They have a sweet little coffee bar at the front as well as a bakery case with brownies, cookies, and other house bakery specialties. Our cakes were absolutely fabulous. You can really tell the difference between a cake made with love and a mass-market store-bought cake. The peppermint chocolate cake literally tasted like a boozy York peppermint Patty. The cranberry almond cake had the perfect almond flavor but was not a complete sugar bomb. We all commented on how we loved the icing and attention to detail on both of these cakes. We had such a great experience with them that we came back a few weeks later To purchase a custom birthday cake. Again, they exceeded our expectations and we were thrilled.

This is a hidden gem of Cleveland!…read more This is an old fashioned bakery, in the best sense. It is a "must visit" if you want authentic old fashioned bakery. That means it's loaded with taste, and not skimping on things like icing, filling, or frostings. They have what few bakeries have anymore, and that's a date and nut cake! SO Good! I'm a professed chocoholic and it is my default flavor of choice. That is, except when I go to Elmwood Bakery or within its vicinity. It's date and nut all the way! It's a cake that isn't heavily spiced, but the flavor of the dates and nuts are prominent. It is frosted with a very light vanilla icing that isn't too sweet. It's very creamy and tasty. I have a heavy sugartooth, and this satisfies it perfectly. Other things which are exceptional are their danish, particularly with the maple icing which is heavily sugared to perfection! Their brownies are dense and fudgy with an amazing chocolate ganache icing. If you live anywhere within a 50 mile radius of this place, it's a definite destination place! Really!!! It's a small unassuming place on Madison Ave near the original Malley's Chocolates. Don't miss it. Best bakery in Northeast Ohio!

I was amazed to hear that this bakery has existed for over 70 years in the same family. I was looking for croissants but they don't bake those. They bake cookies, bread, and a few other baked goods. I bought a sticky bun (I haven't tried it yet), beer claw with walnuts, coconut bun, and a small biscuit filled with bacon (my favourite) plus a very small free cookie was given to me. Everything that I tried was good but a little dry. The prices were very fair and not expensive. I was told that their hours are Tuesdays - Fridays - 7am - 5pm, Saturdays 7am to 3pm. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. I spent $6.25 total which is a good deal. Parking is at the back of the business or street parking. I found a free street parking spot when I arrived. I'll probably be back to buy a pack of the small biscuits filled with bacon which is $12 for a bunch of them. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 111/250 total reviews in 2026 - 952 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 May 2026

Megan responded immediately to my inquiry and although they were booked with two events for the date I needed, Megan squeezed our order in AND they squeezed in a delivery time that worked for us while also ensuring their other events were in no way changed or compromised. I really respected this because that meant they respect every order, and they do not inconvenience other orders just to accommodate a new order. From delivery (as promised), to how the cupcakes looked (neat, detailed, beautiful!), to how they tasted (guests said they were fresh, not too sweet, and some were shocked how such a small cupcake had so much flavor). That brings me to the size... absolutely perfect! They were all eaten by the end of the event, and I believe it's because the size made them less embarrassing to go back for seconds or thirds! Quality ingredients and you can tell by the taste! Attention to detail, which is harder to accomplish on mini cupcakes. We highly recommend!!
