Bonomini Bakery

Great little bakery! I went here for the first time last week and didn’t expect to see such a big selection in such a small place. it’s a very cute tucked away place with very friendly and helpful owners/​workers. the prices are great so I got some stuff for my workers and even took some to my mom. they all enjoyed everything. I’ll definitely be going back either today or tomorrow for some baked goods for the thanksgiving holiday.

Okay, heard about this place and had to check out the donuts. They were great. We got a clunker and a cinnamon glazed twist. Yummy. Neat little bakery. Tucked away in Northside. People working there were very friendly. If you like donuts you must give this a try. I would say it is one the two best places to get a donut in town. Give it a try.

I had the lowest of expectations walking up to the door, it’s on a forgotten part of Northside. Walking in, and smelling their fresh baked treats changed that opinion really quickly. Classic neighborhood backers, been around for ever, not fancy, but excellent food. The woman than helped me at the counter could not have been nicer, and she knew her stuff. They have everything from donuts to pastries to cakes to bread. I got a loaf of their bread and it was so good I had to try not to eat the whole loaf. And the best part? It was so cheap! Only $ 3 for a fresh baked loaf. This place is a hidden gem in Northside.

There’s something really wonderful about a mom and pop shop that doesn’t change over the years. Bonomini definitely has that charm.
From the minute you step inside the small space, it’s clear that they’re doing the same work they’ve done for decades, and they’re doing it right.
I’d suggest getting there as early as they open, because I have yet to be able to get a plain cake donut.
Stop in for some nostalgia and delicious baked goods. You’ll be supporting a fantastic local business in the process.

Yep! Glad it is across town or I would have a glucose reading of 3 million.

Lovely little mom/​pop bakery. Picked up donuts here on national donut day and they are all delicious especially the butter milk dough donuts. So fatty and buttery. I will definitely be back for more and to try their cakes which looked delicious

This place is a gem. Donuts are absolutely amazing and worth driving across town for. I tried the knots which melt in your mouth. Also really like the bavarian chocolate frosted custard filled ones and the pull through twists. So good.

Big fan of mom and pop shops? Bonomini Bakery should hit the spot! There are several boutique donut shops popping up all over the country. Donuts seem to be the new «it» sweet, now that the cupcake craze has subsided. That said, Bonomini isn’t a coat tail rider. They’ve been in Northside a long time. Walking into the store, that’s obvious.
The tiny customer area is just barely large enough to accomodate 3 or 4 customers at a time, surrounding you on seemingly all sides are walls of delicious. It’s conceivable that Willy Wonka’s lickable wallpaper idea was born out of a visit to bonomini bakery. While I prefer donuts to snozberries, you can’t please everyone… Running an established and delicious bakery is a really nice try at pleasing everyone though.
We enjoyed what they called Punchki donuts that mouthwatering morning. They’re sweeter than a traditional donut. They’re Polish, so obviously I’ve bastardized the spelling, but I’ve mastered the art of devouring them. I will no doubt enjoy Bonomini Bakery on following visits to the Queen City!

My mother grew up in Northside and this bakery has been a part of my family for a very long time. This place is where we get the holiday sweets. They make a cheesecake unlike any other I’ve ever had. Please believe me and get one if you stop in. Cookies are a no brainer and their coffeecakes have never failed. It is a small, out of the way, perfect place to stop in and satisfy your sweet tooth.
Oh yeah I can never remember the name of this but is could very well be my favorite thing there! Toasted bread with icing. I smile and laugh when asking because I can never remember it’s name but having one puts me right back to being a kid again. I think that is why I’m so high on this place… if it takes you back to being a kid again or you can pass along this treasure with someone special then it is worth it.

Just walking into the bakery is a treat! The aromas are enough to knock your socks off. (or blow off your diet)
I came to Bonomini’s for a wedding cake tasting. While their cake didn’t win the ultimate wedding cake battle, I knew that I would be back for donuts. They have been in business since 1976 and are known for their Paczki. (delicious Lenten donuts — fried with filling)
I got an array of donuts to try — Klunkers (think Fried Danish but knot form), Chocolate Glazed, Cream Filled and, of course, Paczki. (Lemon, Blueberry and Raspberry — they’re all available in Glazed, Powdered Sugar or Cinnamon Sugar)
Klunkers were AWESOME. If you’re a fan of the glaze, these are for you. Amazing little sugary treats.
I wasn’t so enamored with the Chocolate Glazed and Cream Filled — Servatti’s still wins that category. (what can I say? I’m a Servatti’s girl)
But, the Paczki? Holy deliciousness! The dough was perfect. The filling was perfect. It was everything that a donut should be.
If you happen to be in Northside or by Northside or are willing to make the drive — GO.

Cakes from Bonomini are a longstanding tradition in my family. My parents used to get my birthday cake there and now I am doing the same for my children. I have had cake from plenty ‘o bakery in the Greater Cincinnati area, but nothing, and I mean nothing, comes close to Bonomini’s. I’m not sure what they put in their icing, but if health and weight were of no concern, I would eat a vat of it every day. Try the yellow cake with white icing. It’s the best!

Bonomini Bakery customer service is «the worst» in Cincinnati, OH. The staff argued with me concerning an error they made in front of my 13 year old granddaughter. The staff at Bonomini Bakery was rude, confrontational and very disrespectful to thier customers. I strongly recommend Bön Boneri Bakery, Grater’s Bakery and Busken’s Bakeries. You will be receiving great customer service and excellent bakery food. I will never patron or refer anyone to BONOMINI BAKERY AGAIN! They have lost a loyal customer once the staff begin arguing over a $ 24.00 cake in front of other patrons/customers…VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!!,

I love this place, it’s super cute and charming. Also, the donuts are delicious. They taste fresh and there is an ungodly amount to choose from. It’s very close to Northside, so as you can imagine– parking is somewhat scarce. These are good old-​fashioned donuts– check it out!

Can we say adorable? Small bakery with a wide variety of goodies just taunting you, screaming «get diabetes for me! it’ll be worth it!»
The girls working behind the counter are nice and time efficient.
The donuts are scrumptious and relatively on the smaller side so you don’t feel like you’re overindulging toooo much.
So many delicious looking coffee cakes also that I will definitely need to try.
Not so conveniently located… a neighborhood gem.

This place is evil. We have been going here for more years than I care to mention. My son’s wedding cake came from here. It was fantastic.
I am a sucker for their Virginia Reels (crullers). They are light and fluffy and sweet. Their donuts are to die for! The coffee cakes are a Sunday tradition in our house.
It gets crowded sometimes, but everyone is efficient and friendly. There aren’t many little independent bakeries left. We cherish this one.

This is owned by four cute little ladies (I think). Its an adorable little no-​frills bakery which is always full, which is no surprise since the donuts are amazing.
Definitely try the cream filled donuts!

Even though I left 5 stars, don’t pay attention to that. Trust me, you DO NOT want to go to this place.
Their sweet, creamy custard donuts are disgusting.
The dense, moist, sugar glazed clunkers you’ll definitely want to avoid.
And their Schnecken? Don’t waste your time. Just because it’s the most buttery sweet loaf of doughy goodness doesn’t mean you should go buy one.
Yeah… avoid this place. Let the schmucks like me and the other few people that know about this place suffer our way through eating their fantastic baked goods ourselves.
And if you’re thinking I’m just trying to dissuade you from going because it’s small and I don’t want to wait in line, you’re kidding yourself. I’m trying to do you a favor. Stay away.

Cute, warm friendly neighborhood spot. The clunker is the neighborhood special. Its a buttermilk cake clump donut with glaze or without.
Maybe not the best small town, family style donut shop I’ve been to, but I’d go for this over the grocery store type donuts.

I have never been to Bonomini Bakery and am not even sure where in Northside it is. However, I have coworkers who often bring their delicious donuts into work; therefore I feel I’ve sampled their products enough to write up a review.
Now, I am not much of a donut person. I can usually take them or leave them, and prefer to leave them. But when I see the box from Bonomini Bakery sitting in the break room, I can’t resist. Their cake donuts are my favorite, preferably with coconut on top (either toasted or not, I have tried and loved both).
I’ve also enjoyed their cupcakes. I liked the lightness of an icing that didn’t taste like it was going to put me into a sugar coma. So help me if I ever decide to pay attention to where this place is located. I’ll be driving across town next time I step outside and get a whiff of the Busken down the street from my apartment. I’ll even change my route to work if I need to, Bonomini’s baked goods are so superior.
Bonus: it’s just fun to say: Bonomini.

This has to be one of the most underrated bakeries in Cincinnati, it is a traditional German bakery that has cinnamon rolls, donuts-​doughnuts, danish, fresh made bread, and when the holidays come around some of the best Christmas cookies I have had.
: They also have a decadent cheesecake and seasonal pies. I love the smell of a bakery that actually makes products everyday it smells of flour and butter and freshly baked goods.
: The prices here are really reasonable and parking is next door in the lot or on the street in front.
