I was very disappointed with my experience. The cupcakes were extremely dry, and the lemon bars were the worst I've ever had. They tasted like they were made from a boxed mix instead of being fresh and homemade. Unfortunately, nothing I tried lived up to the quality I expected from a bakery. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this bakery based on my experience. read more

Great service and delicious cake! I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday from Tres Belle and it was beautiful and delicious! Everything was so easy. Her friend called & emailed with the design ideas and I took care of payment and then pickup on the day of the party. The cake turned out just as my daughter had wanted and her friend had specified to Tres Belle. Everyone that her friend and I encountered were friendly. Definitely would recommend them if you want a cake for a special occasion. read more

My God son graduated from St. X this week and his graduation cake came fron Tres Belle. When I went to pick up the cake, I couldn't help but get a few little treats. I got a Tiramisu macaron which tasted like it was in a fridge too long and two little oatmeal and raisin cookie sandwiches which were awesome! On to my cake retrieving mission. Tres Belle was SUPPOSED to be the only bakery in the city that did the kind of cake that his mom wanted. She wanted a Sprinkle Explosion Cake with blue and white frosting on the cake (St. X colors) and the cake itself the color of the college that he's going to attend. For those Yelpers who are not familiar with an explosion cake, I'll fill you in. When you cut into the cake, it is dyed the colors that you want and sprinkles or candy spill out from the center of the cake when it's cut . They are really cool and quite pretty. Well, he cut into his cake and SURPRISE... NO SPRINKLES... NO NOTHING spilling out of the cake. Just a plain ole cake with frosting. Don't get me wrong, people ate the cake and liked it but it was just a cake. Nothing special. 3 stars because they didn't deliver. read more

This bakery has limited hits as most do but consider yourself lucky if you make it in. The cake decorations are so creative and they have a wide array of fillings, sponges and frosting. They sell decorations and baked goods and hot drinks as well. I ordered a chai latte when ordering a cake once and it was delicious. I know they are busy at work (you can see it from the counter) but sometimes it can seem a little off-putting. I needed a cake for a Harry Potter themed baby shower and they were so great to squeeze me in. I had also priced a cake at a bakery in Dayton. The prices were significantly different so please know they are not cheap. The work, however is amazing and the cake was delicious!! If you can't make it in, their website has lots of pictures of what they've done to give you creative direction. Baby's first birthday cake will come from here! read more

I've stopped for donuts and cupcakes here. Donuts were average. The cupcakes... well I didn't even finish mine. The value is there, large cupcake for I believe $4. People rave about the cakes so I would probably recommend sticking to that. I may be up for trying a cake soon but I won't go out of my way. read more

I reached out to Tres Belle's to do the cake for our wedding. The staff I spoke to on the phone was very nice and very knowledgeable. They explained everything to me as I wasn't up to speed on the wedding cake nuances. As well comparing prices to other bakeries, they were on the more affordable end! I went in for a tasting (which is complimentary). They have the cutest store with a TON of goodies. The wedding cake tasting was presented so well and I really enjoyed them all! My favorite was actually the pistachio which I didn't even think I was a pistachio fan. Their cakes are so soft and light. Like little pillows of love. Tracy the owner came out to talk with us as well and she was very nice! We of course took some goodies home. My favorite that we took home was the Almond Bread Pudding. OMG YUM. I got a chai latte as well and it was not too sweet, just the way I like it. read more

My dad was in town and we decided to come here considering this was always his favorite cupcake place. When we went in we were greeted with smiles and she was very sweet and explained how to eat the cupcakes and was very outgoing. The shop itself was very nice. There were cake displays everywhere which left us all shocked due to how beautifully they were decorated. In all this is a great place to go for cupcakes if you're craving a cupcake, not only were they very moist but also a perfect ratio of icing and actual cake. read more

This place was a lifesaver! A week before my graduation party, my original baker backed out. Being that it was such a busy season with graduations and weddings, I was so scared that I wouldn't find a bakery for my special day. After looking on Yelp and Instagram I found Tres Belle Cakes. I placed my order two weeks prior to the date I needed a cake for and the ordering process was easy. I ordered a double layer 9 inch round strawberry cake with cream cheese filling. I had found some photos on Pinterest for design inspiration and sent them over. When I picked up the cake it was even more beautiful than I had imagined it would be. The cake was moist and so yummy! My guests definitely enjoyed it. Other tables even asked to see the cake because it was so beautiful and asked where I had gotten it. I was very proud to direct them back to Tres Belle! read more

Recently ordered 50 cupcakes for a surprise birthday party and they turned out amazing. I was impressed not only by the amount of options (over 40 different flavors), but also the unique flavors offered including black raspberry chip and key lime. We ended up ordering dark chocolate, classic white, key lime, and black raspberry chip. All were a hit! We will be back, whether it is for a quick cup of coffee and sweet treat clike a cookie or macaroon, or for something more substantial like a party cake or order of cupcakes. read more

Tres Belle did my wedding cake! We loved working with this bakery. My husband and I tried many bakeries in the area in our quest for the best cake, and we were surprised when the first spot we tried was our favorite. Tres Belle offers very competitive pricing and free delivery over $500 for wedding cakes in the area. If you are interested in trying the wedding cake here, make an appointment online and up to 4 people can come for the tasting. They will have 5 flavors of cake and filling to try, though they have pretty much every flavor you can think of. Should you book with them, you can have a follow-up appointment and pick 5 different flavors (or the same) to try with 4 people. This helped us narror down exactly what we wanted. They did an amazing job with our cake. I wanted a semi-naked cake, and ended up going with a "skim coat" of frosting since we picked three different flavors and colors (Raspberry Chip, German Chocolate and Pink Champagne). They coordinated with our florist to create a cascading effect down the side, it was better than I could have ever imagined. The cake was to-die for and immediately gone at our wedding too! I've heard stories of leftover cake but we should have ordered an extra layer. read more

For cupcakes this is my favorite place in Cincinnati. Cute shop with a variety of fresh cupcakes. We came in 10 minutes before closing and had a blast checking out all of the cupcake flavors. The pink champagne cupcake, decorated with a glittery rose piped frosting, has a subtle flavor with some preserves inside. Black raspberry chocolate chip was simply amazing. Moist, not overly sweet and altogether wonderful. I'd come back just for this cupcake again! They have many more flavors so you can go wild! We tried the donut holes. Looked pretty but the cake donut underneath was stale and dry. Whoopie pie/cookie was good and so were the cake pops. I'd stick to the cakes here for sure. There is seating indoors and they also serve coffee as well as savory sandwiches. There's something for everyone in here, especially if you're looking for a treat. They make wedding cakes (didn't taste) but they looked well decorated and if they're as tasty as the cupcakes, this place is a win! Overall, great place for items for a cookie/sugary sweets bar for a special event or just to satisfy your everyday sweet tooth! read more

I went to a bakery closer to my house, but they were closed. I realized I still needed donuts to take to my nieces and nephews, and decided to stop into Tres Belle on a whim. I didn't even know if they had donuts, but to my delight they did. And they were good. They had 8 different varieties in the display case, and I bought one of each. The favorites among the group were the cookies and cream donut and the plain (it might have been an "old fashioned" but I'm not sure). Red Velvet came in near the top also. Accessibility- there's a slight bump going in the door, but it's very wheelchair accessible. It's worth mentioning that this bakery is VERY inclusive. I happened to be followed in by a couple that had scheduled a cake tasting and a young lady mentioned that she was there for the gluten free and dairy free tasting. The employee waiting on her started listing off all of the gluten and dairy free options as well as vegetarian options and I was impressed that the list was so long. So if you have sensitivities or dietary needs, they will likely be able to accommodate you. read more

We wanted to love the cake tasting for our wedding (my cousin had recently used them it was great) - we are planning out of state so I reached out ahead of time to ask the best way to do tasting and appointment while we were in town visiting. I felt like I was inconveniencing the person we worked with from the start and they were rude at every interaction (email, phone and in person to my fiancé when we picked up our tasting box) :( we still wanted to try to make it work but then our cake tasting box was flavorless and dry. We decided it was worth the extra money to go with another vendor. read more

Custom Cake Review I came here to order a custom cake. I showed them a picture of it (Pickled Rick from Rick and Morty), we decided about the pick-up. It was a busy season, but when I got there to pick up my cake it went very smoothly. I came home to celebrate the occasion with that Pickled Rick cake and it was a winner. The cake's flavor was vanilla and lemon. It was so good, the richness of both flavors just compliment each other and oh the softness of the cake was like a pillow. All in all, more than satisfied with the Pickled Rick cake and the taste was just amazing. They are worth a drive. Give them a try! read more

The best customer service experience I've ever encountered! I emailed them about wanting to make a special cake for my boyfriend's birthday. We both love the show Rick and Morty so I asked them if they could do a Rick and Morty cake. They said that they could without hesitation! I told them exactly what I wanted and when I went to pick up the cake, it was exactly how I imagined it. I bought a few donuts as well when I went in to pick up the cake. They have some really unique flavors like blueberry and one with cinnamon toast crunch on top! Here's where I encountered a bit of a setback: I placed the box of donuts I bought on top of the box with the cake in it so that I could carry everything easily. When I got home and opened the box to look at the cake again, part of the design had been smashed by the lid! I was so distraught and near tears. I messaged Tres Belle to see if they had any tips on how to fix it. They told me that I could bring it back in and they could fix it within 15 minutes. Are you kidding me?! I couldn't believe that they would be so nice to me since I already paid them and left. I went back and they were prepared for me and so nice about the whole thing. They had everything fixed in no time. I didn't see how they fixed it, but I'm sure it was magic. Thank you so much Tres Belle! read more

We got the Tres Belle desserts at Gabby's during Burger Week. We tried both the Jacked Up Joe cupcake, and the Sugar Momma dessert. Sugar Momma was by far everyone's favorite. Not only was it adorable, but it tasted great too. One of my pet peeves is when a brownie is advertised as beging "fudgy," and it is anything but. Not the case here. Brownies were oh so fudgy. They had a rich chocolate flavor . It may have been one of the best brownies I have ever had. All the flavors on the dessert worked well together. It is obvious that the dessert was well planned for maximum flavor and cuteness. Jacked Up Joe didn't really wow us. It would be awesome if more locations teamed up with the bakeries during Burger Week. Thanks for doing so Tres Belle. read more

Fantastic service, great cake, highly recommended. We recently orered our wedding cake 5 days before our big day and Tres Belles was fantastic to work with.

I had some high hopes as I ventured into Tres Belle, on Reading just a block north of the wedding district, as I had heard good things from multiple sources. But sadly, things did not go well. This is the kind of place that at first glance I think anyone would want in their neighborhood - a locally owned boutique-ish bakery with high quality baked goods where you can sit done and have a light and unhurried breakfast, lunch, or snack. Service stood up to that test - the ladies there were very friendly, and answered all my questions with a smile. But the food fell flat - very flat. Now I want to stop here and say this - if you look at their display case, it is very, very clear that they specialize in cakes and cupcakes. Unfortunately, I am not much into either of those, but I should have known to order at least one of these specialty items, and I didn't. What did sounds good as I read the giant menu on the northern wall of the customer area was the stuffed croissants. I am always on the lookout for a good croissant, and stuffed? with the fillings baked right in rather than cut and filled like a sandwich? that sounded absolutely wonderful. I ordered 1 each of the goetta stuffed and the bacon-n-egg stuffed, and while they looked great, they were, well, awful. First, these had the texture of a grocery store croissant - all soft and kinda stale, rather than having nice lightly chewy layers held in by lightly crispy outer shell. Worst though was the filling - in both cases, they smelled and tasted spoiled. I hazarded only a single a bite of each to be sure I was kinda shocked at this point. Here I was in a clearly boutique-ish bakery, and these were worse than a breakfast croissant one can buy in a grocery case, as I can say for those that at least none of the few I have eaten have contained spoiled meat. I also had a cookie. It was solidly good. I really do need to go back and sample a cupcake. I am all but certain those are much, much better. I mean, look at the photo in Amanda M's review - if you like cupcakes, you'd want that, right? Between the cookie and how good the cupcakes looked, I am bumping the rating here from a 1 to a 2. But as bad as those croissants were, I am in no hurry to make that return visit. read more

I learned an important lesson today: When you go to a cupcake shop, buy cupcakes! I guess that should be obvious, but that's the way I am sometimes. I've tried some other things from Tres Belle, and wasn't wildly impressed, so I decided to try their cupcakes. They are large (muffin size), fluffy and moist, with really good flavor. The Strawberry Bavarian has some strawberries in it, and a bit of Bavarian cream inside (just enough for flavor, but not so much as to make it soggy), and a nice topping of strawberry American buttercream. The Chocolate Bomb is an excellent chocolate cupcake topped with a large swirl of decadent chocolate frosting. They have about 10 flavors of cupcakes, so everyone can be happy. read more

Tres Belle is my go to shop for all my cake needs! The flavor is amazing! They have a wide variety of flavors and fillings to choose from and they are not afraid to get creative with what you want. I've bought many cakes here and never once have been disappointed. Even when I just want a sweet treat I've stopped in for a cupcake or macroon and leave happy every time! Cake is very moist and flavorful. Highly recommend especially for weddings! read more

Many years ago Tracy made wedding cakes out of her house, one of which was ours. The quality and attention to detail was fantastic, and was a centerpiece of our weekend. I was thrilled to see Tracy had opened a shop, and finally got the chance to stop in a few times. Her baked goodies were delicious, and the cupcakes are just as amazing as I remember our cake being. Throw some coffee and espresso in there and I'm hooked. It's nice having a little bakery cafe nearby to pop in and out that is not a big monster chain. It's personal and homey. read more

I have been trying to place an order for almost a week now and everytime I call, I'm told they will call back or ask that I email them what I am looking for, but I have yet to hear back.

I ordered a vegan carrot cake for us to taste for a Wedding cake. They never made one & looked for a recipe. It was the best moist carrot cake I have ever tasted. You couldn't tell it was vegan. They were easy to work wit. we are ordering the vegan carrot cake for the Wedding. read more

YUM! Let me start by saying, I absolutely LOVE cake. Any birthday party, wedding, baby shower etc. that I get invited to; I always look forward to the cake lol This bakery made one of the best cakes I had ever eaten. I ordered the toilet paper cake for my sisters birthday in the midst of this virus, it was hilarious and everyone loved the idea. It even came with a little chocolate cupcake that looked like the poop emoji. My boyfriends birthday is coming up and he wants his cake from here, and we're definitely getting our wedding cake from here(I just need to get engaged first haha) Our cake was black raspberry chip & it was so delicious. We can't wait to try the other flavors and other treats they have to offer! read more

Wonderful iced coffee with a lot of options. I had a mocha cupcake and it was unfortunately very dry and while it looked like chocolate overload, it was very underwhelming in chocolate taste. They also keep their cupcakes cold, so this affects the flavor and texture. Next time I might try their donuts or other treats and skip the cupcake. They also have parking right next door and a small seating area inside. read more

We love the cakes at Tres Belle. We typically just pick up one of the cakes they have in the display for dessert. They are always moist and the flavors are great. Not as much selection that way (usually only have 3-4 cakes available), but we have yet to find one we did not like. We picked up one of their donut kits last week and the kids loved decorating their own donuts. The donuts were moist and went great with my morning coffee. read more

I was craving some sweets and decided to try out this little shop, a was pleasantly surprised with an awesome selection of cup cakes, donuts, baked goodies, smoothies, and coffee drinks!

Lol only bad thing is I might pass out from sugar overload lol. Definitely will be back for more :) read more

Delicious, but... The woman waiting on us had an attitude. I asked if the cupcakes with the carrots on them were carrot cake, and her response was cold - "they have carrots on them." No jokes here. Then we asked if we could sit at a table to drink our coffees and eat our pastry, and the answer was no, the tables are reserved for tastings. There was no one in the shop. No explanation that she had another client arriving. We spent almost $40, so it's not like we were wasting her time. I won't go back. read more

The mocha latte is very good. Good parking. High end bakery for weddings and they do have regular snacks. Being close to Benson street, makes sense. Inside is small, but they do have outside seating. I never give a 5, because there is always room for improvement. That would be a bigger shop. read more

I'm a sucker for cute bakeries, cafes, etc. this is definitely an awesome spot! Its an easily accessible location, with great parking! This shop is a working bakery so you can order decorated cakes, large bakery orders, etc. you can also come in and grab a donut and coffee. The shop is set up with a working station directly in the center of the shop so you can see the bakers working away right in front of you. They have large coolers with desserts and cakes waiting for pick ups. The shop offers a variety of coffee drinks, danishes, cupcakes, cookies, etc. The shop itself is so cute and chic. There's seating available inside or you can take it to go. This place is perfect for a professional cake order or for a quick danish. The staff was friendly and very helpful with making my selection, I definitely recommend checking this area out! Delicious! read more

Tres Belle baked the cake for our March 2016 Cincinnati wedding. No muss, no fuss, just solid service and a delicious and beautiful cake.

I'm writing this review in between bites of the best cake I've ever tasted. Tracy has been a longtime friend of mine, but she also is my "go to" when it comes to cakes/deserts for all my special occasions - she even rocked out my dream cake for my wedding in 2013. Tres Belle Cakes has provided treats to my companies Holiday parties and has donated thousands of dollars in sweets to charities all across Cincinnati. After working from her Norwood based home for years, she moved to the Reading "Bridal District" to be closer to her customer base - BRIDES! Her newest location is still in Reading - but the perfect space for what she does best! The kitchen is the core of the building and you can watch her and her "sugar minions" creating sugary magic with your very eyes! They don't just bake. The front of the shop is cozy - the perfect spot to sip on a latte or frap and enjoy a sweet treat or a sandwich to-go. If you go to Lucy's next door - save desert for across the parking lot - Tres Belle is open 7 days a week....craziness! Everything is super affordable and this place is a blessing to the community. Go now. Seriously. read more
