By far the best bakery I've ever eaten at since moving to Maryland! Yia Yia's has amazing customer service, and the staff is always super friendly!! The prices are pretty standard, and well worth what you get. I'd say if you're looking for an amazing bakery, you've found it with Yia Yia's Bakery! I want to give a big thank you to the whole team there for being amazing! read more

Upon walking in I noticed how spacious and clean the place was. We were greeted immediately and asked what we wanted. Although there was a line of moved fast and the service was great. I got double chocolate cookies and red velvet cake. I'd give the cake 4.5/5 and the cookies 4/5. I will be back definitely read more

What a great bakery with so many yummy choices from cakes, donuts, macarons, breads, you name it, it was there. Staff treated us wonderfully and when I decided to try a latte the server went above and beyond to ask about milk ratio, heat she made it specifically for me. This will be a must stop every time we go to Baltimore. read more

Brought my wife a fruit tart, and it was delicious. Awesome service/staff, and very well kept inside. Get your sweet tooth fix.

I went to this business in March 2026. I drove almost 15 miles to get there. The colorful items looked great and there is a lot of variety here -- but I was not impressed with the quality of the bakery products! The cakes, cupcakes and cookies looked like they are full of preservatives. Nothing I ordered had any real taste. The items appeared processed and chemically engineered. For example, the no-bake cheesecake has a texture, smell, and taste that did not mirror anything fresh. I asked for a cheesecake that had been baked and I was told that the carrot cheese was the "old fashioned" kind. What I got was a creamy jello-like cream cheese substance mix with box cake and added flavoring in between. No graham cracker crust at all. I believe this bakery has enormous talent tucked away in the back. They use food colors and flavors because its popular and the shelf life is longer. Please go back to the table and do the right thing. The bathroom was clean and the staff were friendly. Parking is excellent. I spent $25.00 for 3 pieces of cake. read more

One of my favorite bakeries!! This is my go-to spot for birthdays, holidays, or whenever I'm craving something sweet. I've never had a bad dessert here, but the strawberry shortcake is one of my favorites. The prices are pretty reasonable compared to other bakeries, and the staff is so friendly. They always have great recommendations when I can't decide. I haven't tried their breakfast yet, but I'm sure it's just as good as their baked goods. read more

absolutely amazing service great options I've deserved made with love. The staff is very helpful and the environment is very welcoming. There's so many things to choose from an amazing pricing. I feel like everything I get from this place is top-notch. read more

This is one my favorite bakeries for any occasion! Their desserts are absolutely delicious and they offer a wide variety of flavors. You can walk-in and purchase items from the dessert case or request something made to order. I highly recommend this place! read more

After being mistreated at this store on Feb. 10, 2026, my husband and I received the following message from Ana apologizing and stating she will make amends to keep our business. Unfortunately, she was not honest and never inititated any kind of a credit. Ana did not stay true to her word as no credit could be found even though she stated this in her response to our complaint as shown below. Today we were at the bakery and told that no credit existed. This is very dishonest and we no longer will spending one dime in this place. We had intended to purchase some chocolate mice (4) for our grandchildren and (4) cannolis for the adults, but left without any purchase due to the dishonesty. I am old school and think businesses should stay true to their word, but this one does not. Poor service and dishonest staff. Here is the original response from Ana due to an issue with their sub shop, "Feb 10, 2026 Hello Kathleen, we are truly sorry for the experience you and your husband had. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration and disappointment this caused, especially as long-time customers. I was able to locate your receipt, and we acknowledge that the interaction was not handled appropriately. The way this was addressed at pickup does not reflect our standards for customer care. Please know that this matter will be addressed with my staff, as respect and honesty are non-negotiable values at Yia Yia's. As a gesture of goodwill, we have placed a store credit under your name for future use, and it will be available whenever you choose to return. While we understand how upsetting this experience was, we hope you will allow us the opportunity to make things right. We genuinely appreciate the many years you and your family have supported us, especially as part of your holiday traditions. That loyalty means more to us than we can express, and we are very sorry to have let you down. All my best, Ana" I will never set foot in that place even again and do hope that as soon as others find out what I did, they will start to lose more valuable customers and go out of business. Shame on Yia Yia's! read more

Don't recommend. The grapes were bad all came like they were spoiled didn't even show me the cake until i opened it at home. i paid $50 for spoiled grapes ! and the spelling on it looks sloppy at the end. Cake ended up making me nauseous. 0/10 read more

I hadnt been to Yia Yia's in a while, but was in the area on an early morning and just had to stop by. I didn't know that they basically function as a cafe in the morning. There were several people sitting inside and having coffee with a pasty. It's a cute shop! I always get the smith island Cake, but I tried the strawberry shortcake and it was delicious. I wish the slice was bigger. I also got a boston cream donut that was not very fresh. I didn't realize they had donuts because they were behind the counter, which might have contributed to lack of freshness. I would definitely return for the strawberry shortcake. read more

I recently learned that the Smith Island Cake was a Maryland staple. A co worker suggested this place after I asked for recommendations. This place had many desserts and I ordered a slice. It was good, it was served chilled and with the summer weather off it being in my suv it warmed up nicely. The staff are nice, it can get busy so trust means they are doing something right. I will return for birthday cakes read more

Have always had great experience at Ya-Ya's, they have the absolute best baked goods around. I don't get there too often but when I am down that way I make it a point to go there, it's worth it! Prices are great, food is awesome read more

All the food in the display looks AMAZING!!! The cakes are HUGE! And you can buy cake by the slice. The prices are listed on every item which is nice! It was busy on the Sunday afternoon I went but that was okay because I needed time to look at what they had. They're priced well and not expensive. The staff were quick to help. There is one check out area in the corner which got congested with people but it's worth it. read more

This is a bakery where I previously enjoyed all cake purchases. Dec 6th I purchased a container of macadamia nut and a container of oatmeal raisin cookies. The cookies are not soft and chewy, they are thin and crumble. Don't know if the numbers 11030 on the box means when baked or packed. Not what I expected. Service was excellent. Dave T read more

We ordered a cake for a friend's birthday, paid it in full, and scheduled pick-up the following day. However, our friend had to leave town and we had to cancel our order. We called in the cancellation, and the person who received the call was pleasant and did not give us a hard time. Delicious cakes plus great customer service makes Yia Yia's Bakery the best ever. We totally love Yia Yia's! read more

I stopped in to pick up a couple of pastries for my husband and I to enjoy and the place was pretty busy for a Monday afternoon which I took to be a good sign. I got the red velvet cake and a heart shaped strawberry cake. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Both tasted so synthetic that we couldn't even finish them and we love sweets! Even looking at the other options in there, the cheesecake slices looked like what you find at a diner and most had a huge layer of whipped cream on top instead of letting the cheesecake be the star. I definitely expected more from a place that has bakery in its name. read more

I looked this place up online about their specialty cakes available for purchase. I decided to purchase a cake for my hubby's birthday. It was a yellow cake with buttercream. The nice young man waited on me and boxed up the cake for me so that it wouldn't slide all over the place. This cake was under $30. read more

Yia Yia's Bakery - 10" Tres Leches Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Yia Yia's Bakery does it again! (Disclaimer - these are not pictures from when I picked up my cake at the bakery. I drove four hours with my cake in a cooler and took it to the beach. These are the pictures post pick up - so imagine it looked even better :-) ) This is my FOURTH cake from here. I trust them with making cakes for important milestones for myself and my family. I needed a last minute cake to match the theme for my daughter's second birthday ("Two Sweet"). I showed them a picture and they got it done. I truly appreciate their kindness, attention to detail and prompt response with getting my cake order completed. I am always excited to order (and eat) cakes from this delicious bakery! THANKS for making another birthday special for my daughter! We look forward to working with you all in the future! read more

Good desserts if you walk in and want small things for just company at the house. Problems arise with the catering side if things where our cake was merely "forgotten" but had to wait 2 hours to make a new sheeted strawberry shortcake for graduation party we reserved and paid ahead for. Maybe a little organization would help the workers. Jake n kevin read more

Incredibly good pastries. I come here every time I'm in the area. I highly recommend the Greek specialties like baklava, finikia, cinnamon nut rolls, etc. read more

If you're looking for a wide selection check out this bakery! However, be warned it might get a little overwhelming, I know I did! They have everything from small baked goods to custom cakes! The staff are very friendly as well and try to be as helpful as possible. We bought several little slices of cakes for a birthday party and everything we got was delicious! My favorite was the tiramisu cake, very light and creamy! read more

Although not as close to us as it used to be, Yia Yia's is still very much worth the trip. We've ordered a few birthday cakes and/or had one of the many ready made/available daily cakes decorated for different occasions. Some of our favorites-Mouse, Cookies and Cream cake, Carrot Cake, Tiramisu, Key lime pie slices and any of the cheesecake (Snickers!) flavors. You can't beat their slices/cup cakes selection! A good variety of European cookies (Greek specialties) & pastries that never disappoint. They also have donuts that are excellent! (chocolate frosted is the one!) They used to sell made to order deli sandwiches but unfortunately it looks like they have stopped this service. Servers are always friendly and helpful! The place for baked goods in the White Marsh/Perry Hall area! read more

I've been coming to this bakery every other Sunday for years. Me and my family absolutely love Yia Yia's cheesecake. We love it so much that this is THE place where we go and think for all our cheesecake cravings. We recommend it to coworkers and friends. Sometimes we even pick some up for the neighbor. However we were all very surprised that when we got home and opened our box the slices were very noticeably smaller than they were a month ago. There use to be overhang on the small circular piece of paper that's around the cake slice. An over hang of an inch or more on each side. Now the cake slice doesn't even make the length of that paper and the price is still the same if not more? Sundays are our time to come together and we always get multiple flavors. There was enough to go around and share our favorite or try someone else's favorite. The cheesecake here was always the best and it was a huge bonus to get so much but half the amount for the same price is too much. We really hope this changes. It's sad to see so many places doing this. read more

We had there cupcakes and the cake was very dry and had no flavor. I thought for the price they'd be a little better. We also got the cheesecake and it is very thin and grainy. It isn't thick like cheesecake. The bakery was very clean and staff was nice. We expected a bit more. read more

I've been coming here for years (All the way from Philadelphia Pa) I love the remodel of the place but after buy and tasting several cakes cookies and pastries.. I was disappointed to find that the decadents of the taste has been replaced with cheaper or ingr or just less of the main ingredients that kept me coming here for years.. Restore the products to the great taste that I was so used to please .. By the way the aesthetics of the product still look beautiful but the taste is missing!!! read more

Spanikopita was soggy and tasteless with no feta in sight. Tables were dirty. White chocolate "cheesecake" was tasteless--all parts of it, threw it away (it was $7 for that slice). Baklava was good. I'd like to taste more of the confections but worry that these items are not homemade goodness but just showy. read more

What an awesome bakery! My son graduates tomorrow with his Master's and he asked for a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. A friend had told me about Yia Yia's and how awesome their cakes were, so I stopped in today. This place is phenomenal! A huge range of cakes and breads. All looked amazing. Of course they had the red velvet cake I was looking for but I also had to get a few slices of their other offerings. When I got home, we had a taste sampling. All were excellent! I am so thankful that I finally checked this place out. My new favorite, local bakery. Can't wait to return. I should add that the prices are reasonable. A large cake is only $30. For the size, flavor and richness, that's a steal. Trust me. read more

Edited on the bottom: If I could leave a zero I would. An older women tripped on their bunched up carpet (total negligence and avoidable) while leaving after purchasing a treat. She tripped into a wall, split her head open, bruised her neck, and was gushing blood! Not only did the worker/cashier, not initially do anything, they didn't even ask how she was doing, nor ask for her information and didn't even offer her another treat. Another customer had to tell them to call 911. I followed up with her, and she has several stitches, a huge contusion on her neck and is extremely sore. Shame on Yia-Yia's bakery. Will never go there again. *****The response from the owner did not clarify anything. ****if you think it is a well run business, then why didn't the manager even ask for her name.?? Yes the napkins that were handed to her were appreciated but don't you find it odd that the manager wouldn't take her information considering the fell took place in your store? Yes we took pictures, because it absolutely proved that it was an avoidable situation. The heavy duty mat was not fully straightened out, it could have been anyone that fell. So whether you like it or not, it wasn't handled appropriately, the staff was not attentive, and it is my right to voice my perspective that no, your business did not seem to care for her falling. Don't like it, then do better. read more

Cakes are great and delicious!! I visit this place whenever I have my sweet cravings! But today , the service did not go well. A young girl took my first order and i told her I will still look around. She placed my first order in a corner then she left and did not come back or say anything to me. She did not make any eye contact . She just disappeared and totally ignored me. Good thing another girl came and I told her what happened and she eventually helped me out. I will still come back but I don't think I would want that girl to take my order. She needs more training in service!!!! read more

People here are the rudest!!! The ambiance when you walk in is far from being accommodating. One time I ordered a whole strawberry shortcake and there was a long hair in the middle of the cake as soon as I cut it. Chocolate cake is very dry. I won't recommend it at all. The service is the worst!!! They don't even deserve even just one star. read more
