The Bakery House

This place is so good I should probably tell you it’s a dump so I can have more of their outstanding baked goods to myself.

used to be much better — now the prices keep going up, the quality is not as good as it used to be and the attitude of the people is the real icing on the overall product — as bad as it gets. There are many better alternatives out there and much better products.

First let me start by saying when I went in to order I felt like a second class citizen. I live down the street from this bakery so for convenience sake I decided to order a cake from here. I only needed a small round cake to go on top of a display for the baby shower, since the gentleman who took my order basically told me I couldn’t afford a specialty cake I went with a plan white icing cake with a pink border. No problem I had something I wanted on top anyway. But I pick up the cake the day of the event it looks plan nothing special for the price I paid Ok! Still not bothered however, later when we cut the cake certain parts look uncooked. Now I have baked for years so I know what a doughy center looks and tastes like. Not only that but the cake that was fully baked was dry as Mojave’s Desert. Luckily I tasted it before I let the mom to be and her family take it home I was so embarrassed. When I felt the way I did in the shop when ordering I should have walked out and went elsewhere. Won’t be going back too bad too cause they’re are so few bakeries in the area.

We get our Thanksgiving pies here every year. Very solid!
For events like Thanksgiving, they have a great system for getting pies out quickly-​preorder, then get ticket to pickup outside from a trailer parked in front.

It pains me to do this… it does as I love the Bakery House. I live virtually around the corner and frequent them regularly. Everything they do, is delicious. But… when you order something ahead of time, pay for it in good faith and you don’t have the order… while it is good customer service to offer an alternative, it’s poor customer service in bobbling an order. So it goes.

My wife left a review for The Bakery House and included a picture of the terrible wedding cake they produced. She received a public response from the owner that this company did not make the cake. Knowing my wife very well, I assumed she may have reviewed the wrong bakery. To make sure, I pulled up our American Express statement from that year. The cake did come from The Bakery House and it was as ugly as it was delicious.

The best cakes. My entire family loves their chocolate cake with raspberry filling. We have ordered one for every family birthday, every year, for the past 10+ years. They have only disappointed once or twice in the past with slightly dry cakes. Otherwise the cakes are moist and dense and the icing is great. The lemon pound cake is also delicious. Five stars!

The kids love getting their birthday cakes and cupcakes for their class from here. You can always find what your looking for as well as something new to try.

Wonderful baked goods! Generous samples! Lovely staff! What more do need to know! Ps– chocolate chip mini-​scones are Amazing!

After being a customer for several years and ordering a numerous amount of cakes and such… I was deeply upset with the level of service given this morning! I understand it’s a holiday, but I’m not Jewish therefore I would like to be treated as a loyal customer! Not only was I put on hold and heard entire conversations, had to hang up and call back to find out they cannot accommodate 20 cookies in 3 days! That’s insane! I asked to speak to a manager Sharon who not only spoke over me but also didn’t care what I had to say! They just lost a loyal customer and I’ll be sure to spread the word around town! As customer service is key to supporting small businesses!

These guys are great. Fantastic cake — off the charts customer service. They are our new bakery.

Best vanilla cake ever!!!

I recently bought a strawberry shortcake for a coworker’s birthday and it was absolutely delicious! It was a Giant cake and well worth the price. One of the best strawberry shortcakes (besides my grandmothers) I have ever had. I will certainly be buying other cakes from here from now on!

I chose The Bakery House to do my wedding cake because we have been buying birthday and other special occasion cakes from them for a little over a year and have been nothing but pleased. I was severely misinformed when they told me they could absolutely create my requested cake for my one and only wedding night.
This is one of every bride’s worst nightmares. My wedding cake came BUCKLED. Leaning Tower of Pisa through and through. And to be honest looked like shit. Luckily, I did not give a rats ass the night of my wedding because I DGAF and just married my best friend– thats all that mattered to me.
Was it delicious? Yes. Everyone at the wedding knew of our free spirit and took chunks out of the cake with their bare hands and enjoyed every bite. Was I pissed the next day? Yes. Have I ordered from them since? No. Do I recommend them? Depends on what you’re ordering.
This was Nov 19^th 2012. So it’s taken me a few years to get to get this review up here because it’s taken me a few years to get my photos from my wedding.

Literally the best vanilla cake/​vanilla icing cake in the world. Dense, not too sweet, perfect crumble/​moistness.
I’m a chocolate person, but this tops any chocolate cake I’ve ever had.
Their pies are pretty good too, but really, the vanilla cake is all you need. Must try.

Superb! I called at 7am and they had my daughter’s birthday cake ready by noon. Such delicious stuff, very accommodating and friendly. I fell in love with their chocolate chip cake and made sure to get it for my next occasion.

So DISSAPPOINTED — picked up 12 cupcakes for a birthday celebration today, they were AWEFUL. Stale, dry, old, not sure but my kids didn’t eat them! Maybe there is a special code to get fresh baked– again not sure but won’t be going back again for cupcakes. My previous order a few weeks ago, I picked up 2 dz. luckily I didn’t need to serve immediately since they were frozen– fresher than today’s but frozen. The bars are always good, just ashame they can’t get the cupcakes right.

Very unhappy– ordered 2 dozen cupcakes for a birthday party and they just did not taste good! Not fresh, not tasty– very disappointing. Next time will make the trip to Wayne because I was frankly embarrassed serving them to my guests.

Main line Bakery in business over 2 decades. Multiple «best of mainline» awards are all warranted. Yes, its a bit pricey, but what on Route 30 in Bryn Mawr isn’t?
I have been going here for about 15 years and highly recommend this Bakery! They have the regular things… Cakes, Pies, Brownies, their line of «bars» (key lime bar, 7 layer bar, brownie bar, etc), Cookies, Muffins and you can also special order donuts and eclairs… they are WAY better than what you get at Dunkin Donuts, but they are more expensive too. We even got our wedding cake here this summer, which was a HUGE hit withour guests! 4 cake flavors in one big beautiful cake! It was absolutely delicious and beautiful! They also make dog biscuits here which are so homemade I’ve actually eaten them myself… Bit odd, but this is a dog friendly bakery and you can bring your well behaved pup into the store!
I have come to know the owner in the past 15 years, very proud of her business and rightly so. This past winter she rented a little bulldozer and was plowing the street making parking spaces for her and the other local business. Who does that? Sandy does!
Service here is fantastic… the Bakery opens early and stays open late to bake\clean\setup shop. I’ve come in here after leaving the bar at 1:30 in the morning and at 6:30 in the morning on the way into work… NOTE: the late hours are usually around the holidays when they are baking like crazy 24/​7, but everytime I’ve gone in there off hours someone has stopped what they are doing to help me out at the register.
Trust in the many solid reviews for the Bakery House, they have earned their 4 stars!

I can’t rave more about the cupcake from the bakery house. I am an icing enthusiast and their vanilla buttercream icing is the best I have ever had. It tastes like vanilla ice cream.
The cupcakes themselves are moist and delicious but the icing is what really steals the show.
They have a variety of other bakery options that all look delicious but I am a chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing purist
