Ive been here several times and have always had wonderful experiences. They also have some of the best vegan options around. I ordered a birthday cake for an extremely picky boss this week and he was blown away by the carrot cake. Carrot cake is his absolute favorite, hes tried many, so this is big. The funfetti cake also received many compliments from another birthday event. They just need a gluten free option, my poor husband keeps missing out!

Outstanding cakes and pastries. We ordered our wedding cake from here. I recommend the lemon ricotta puff cookies

Wish I could say I would still give them business. But after the way they conducted hiring, I would never put a dime of my hard earned money into their pockets. Had me do an 8 hour working interview, made me believe I had the job. Only to make excuses or not answer when I inquired about the position. Then said I could have a position making cookies because, busy season was coming. No, I have no official baking experience other than the Blue Door, but I proved my worth and ability. So it was basically because, none of the other staff wanted to do cookies and I’d be used as a work horse to complete the things they didn’t desire to do. I wanted the previous job I was described so bad, I kept up with the “manager” who said “oh, I never heard from you, so we passed you up.” Which was no true in the least, they heard from me, plenty, I explained exactly how much baking meant to me and how much I loved it. I even refused to reschedule my working interview (which for those that don’t know, you work an 8 hour shift with no pay) because I wanted that job so bad.Bad business conducting. Pretty sad in a time when no one wants to work, someone who was struggling to find a job gave her all only to be treated like an idiot.Edit to add response ***I showed quite well in the 8 hours day experience. Tea cookies was never mentioned during the working interview. It was bakery, as well as assisting the chef to expand the menu. No, I never went to school, but the baking I do at home would supersede even the 5 year employees at your venue. Experience is not measured by schooling or just work experience. I hope you all realize that filling someone’s head with one thing, then excuses after excuse to not hire someone for the position that was offered (because it was never tea cookies) is not only creating false hope, but also makes you a liar. I can absolutely post the text messages if you’d like me to show everyone your blatant lies because, they’re not something I just made up. I guess maybe next time you lie, don’t leave proof?

Excellent service and delicious baked goods. Have used them on many occasions, from dropping in for a few scones or ordering various cakes. Wonderful every time. And their tiramisu is fantastic!

Westside Bakery made my vegan wedding cake and groom’s cake and I couldn’t be happier. We chose almond cake with raspberry preserves for the wedding cake and chocolate with mint fudge filling for the groom. Both cakes were simply scrumptious. The frosting was fantastic and the cake was moist and flavorful. The decoration was beautiful and really captured the inspiration pictures I shared with them. I absolutely recommend Westside Bakery for wedding cakes, vegan or not!

Id give The West Side Bakery more than 5 stars if I could. We worked with Barb and her team for our Wedding cake and cupcakes, and the whole process was so easy! They provided us with 3 cakes at our tasting, and we were sold right away! They were SO delicious, and Barb was so friendly. She even worked with me to surprise my husband with a Grooms cake. HIGHLY recommend!

No one EVER called back. I called, and needed to call them back to confirm a date, I call 24 hours later. No one EVER called back! I I’ve called three times, then I finally got a return call and now my date isn’t available. They said they were busy but who isn’t? Just aggravating, I’m definitely not going to beg businesses to take my money. I won’t be ordering from here in the future either since they are too “busy”

My husband and I ordered our smash cake for our sons first birthday and it was more than we could have ever expected. The cake was PERFECT and our son loved it. The cake was so good, the design was spot on and so much fun. It made his day perfect. We’ll absolutely be making this our “go to” place and recommend them to everyone I know!!

I didnt take photos but we were extremely disappointed in our wedding cake. There was no cake or filling. The HUGE pillars they put in to anchor the cake made it impossible to cut and serve. I had just the top two layers of a wedding cake so not huge. Definitely not worth almost 200. I was very upset only the top teir was really edible and able to serve. But again, there was like no cake just frosting. I used to love this bakery. The taste testing was a phenomenal experience which is why I gave 2 stars.

Editing the review because they called and offered an apology for the non-cut zero and some store credit for my disappointment. I really appreciated that. They also said they would have tried to fix it for me if I had been the one to pick it up. The lady who took the order didnt write that the colors should be bright or primary, so miscommunication in ordering on someones end. The original cake is pictured here. I paid $150. People thought I made it. That didnt seem like a compliment to the cake. Everyone agreed that it tasted very good.

West Side Bakery did all of our rehearsal dinner desserts as well as our wedding cake/cupcakes. We were incredibly pleased with the entire process. The tasting was easy and smooth and from there on out we didnt really have to do much. I went in unsure of how I wanted the cake decorated and they had plenty of ideas and options! They were great to work with.

We’ve purchase cakes from here on several occasions (both ordered and from the bakery case). Every time, our cake has been a little on the dry side which is super disappointing for the amount that you pay for them. The decorations are beautiful and I love that they don’t use fondant, but the taste should trump design in my opinion. Still on the hunt for the perfect bakery.

The absolute BEST wedding cake in Akron! They did our September 2019 wedding cake which was Funfetti with Strawberry cream filling, and its by far the best cake I have ever had! We had endless compliments on our wedding cake. It was beautiful and everything we imagined. The staff was incredibly helpful and great to work with!

Review №38

We chose The West Side Bakery for our wedding day needs, and we are so happy that we did! The cake was EXACTLY as I had imagined it to be decoration wise, very intricate and good attention to detail, a work of art in fact. All of our guests were amazed at how beautiful it was, but even more so with how it tasted - all of our guests could not believe how delicious it was, saying it was the best cake they had ever eaten, and this is from people who had come from all over this country! The staff was always very friendly and pleasant to speak with. Each time I had contacted the bakery, whether by phone or e-mail, they were very quick to respond, always in less than 24 hours, even on the weekend. Our consultation was face-to-face, they offered GENEROUS portions of the tasting samples (we were even allowed to take the left overs home!), and assisted us through the entire selection process, offering examples and suggestions while also allowing us plenty of time to consider out options. We even had a few vegan guests that the bakery was able to accommodate with a small vegan cake, which was also DELICIOUS - we took home the left overs of this and literally could not even tell the difference between the vegan and non-vegan cake, icing and all! I would highly recommend this bakery for any special occasion needs, we will definitely be returning in the future.

This bakery is incomparable. I don’t mind paying a little more for a delicious, high quality item—even a cookie like the iced pumpkin cookies. My sisters in Cleveland always expect some goodies from there when they visit me. I always get some peanut butter ones and oatmeal ones for them to take back to their families in Fairview Park and Westlake. Can’t wait to stop in there as soon as possible.

The staff was very accommodating. I purchased a 10 inch round cake sight unseen out of the bakery case for a dinner celebrating my sons college graduation. The cake was suppose to serve 10-12 persons. It served 11 and we had half a cake leftover. It was delicious and exceeded my expectations. The bakery delivered it to the restaurant for a nominal fee. I was traveling a long distance and timing was an issue. It was wonderful to arrive and have the cake waiting for us.

I called West Side Bakery to make a Bachelor Party cake and it came out wonderfully! The cake was Ball and Chain themed vanilla with a fudge center.

Just found this adorable bakery this past weekend. We ordered the pumpkin scone (which had the perfect about of pumpkin flavor) and several mini raspberry, apricot, and pecan tarts. We gobbled them up so quick, after we were done, we went back in for more! A few days later and we’re on our way back. 👌🏼

I have always been a fan of this bakery. Whether it be for a quick coffee and scone in the morning, soup and salad for lunch or just a sweet treat for my husband and I, everything has been excellent. It is evident that the bakers and staff at the West Side Bakery care about the products and services that they are providing. We get all of our birthday cakes from the bakery and we even got our wedding cakes here. They are so accommodating and will create any vision you have! I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a delicious, quality product and top notch customer service to go to the West Side Bakery. You will NOT be disappointed.Side note: They have VEGAN desserts! Be sure to special order ahead to make sure they have what you would like. I have had multiple cakes and pastries and you would never know that they are vegan. Yum!

Our wedding cake was absolutely perfect from this bakery! The owner was a sweetheart, and she met with me twice to design a cake that looked similar to my wedding dress. We had two flavors of cake - lemon curd with white cake and ganache and fresh raspberries with chocolate cake. Both were incredible. Everyone asked us during the wedding where our gorgeous and tasty cake was from. We also ordered pastries, and they were some of the best Ive ever had. 5 stars without hesitation.

Stopped here for the first time yesterday. Bought some tea cookies, a veggie wrap, and a latte. My customers loved the cookies (reasonable price), the veggie wrap was probably one of the best Ive ever had, and the latte was perfect. Above all though, the gal behind the counter was so sweet and this place was packed. I was impressed by how well she took care of me even with a long line of customers. There wasnt a place to sit, but this is probably to be expected in a small cafe at noon. I will be back for sure!

A friend that worked at the Starbucks next to it raved about this bakery, she came to visit and this was one on of the places she wanted to stop at. The shortbread cookies tasted like chalk, they were not very sweet almost like they forgot to add an ingredient. She got me two cupcakes for my birthday and they were very unsatisfying. They were vanilla and carrot cake, the vanilla had no taste to it and the frosting on top was flavorless like the cupcake. The carrot cake cupcake was hard. The taste of the carrot cake was good, but wasnt expecting to bite into a scone with cream cheese frosting. My friend got a white chocolate and chocolate mousse tart and that was the best thing she purchased. It was very rich so that was right up her alley. My friend was disappointed with all but one purchase. Maybe they had an off day or my friend made bad selections, but when you pay $3 for a cupcake you do want it to taste like a one. Ive always drove past the bakery but never had a chance to stop and try it, now I can say I have and I am not impressed.

I am sorry to disagree with the profile description of this landmark bakery. The West Side Bakery is anything, but a simple bakery! We moved here in 2008, and it remains our favorite for birthdays, and anniversaries! From traditional and ethnic varieties of cookies to beautiful cakes and desserts, and lunch fare, theres something for just about anyone walking through the door; including gluten free and vegan! Check them out today. I know I will be stopping today to pick up our 28th Anniversary dessert.Happy New Year to you all at the West Side Bakery!

Probably the best bakery in Akron. The lemon scones are usually on point, and several of the specialty cakes are exceptional. The carrot cake is always a winner, and we actually got their black forest cake for our wedding. Did not disappoint. I do have to say that they go crazy on the icing. Nobody needs that much icing per slice of cake. Also, their base white cake and chocolate cake arent that great. We got a cinnamon roll for the first time last trip, and were disappointed to find it dry as a bone with little cinnamon.

I called this afternoon to get details of their offerings and prices for the items for a wedding shower and girl on phone was helpful, I stated that I would be in before they closed to drop off ribbon color samples and place my order.I went in @4:30 (they close at 5) and clerk is mopping the floor. She says that she will be right with me, and proceeds to finish mopping the floor. Asks me what I need. I explained that I had called earlier, got the information and prices and was just there to place the actual order and drop off the ribbon colors. She kept going to the back and came out saying that someone was on the phone and she would see how long they were going to be. Comes out and asks me if she can get my info and have someone call me because they ARE closing in 20 minutes (so that means that they are still OPEN for 20 minutes, right??? and not MY fault that she had to finish mopping before waiting on me) I said that I could not come back during the week, that I would be without my vehicle for servicing and I just wanted to place the order now. She said again, well we can have someone call you. I left less than pleased and without placing my order, which would have been very close to $200 for what I was going to order for the shower for 80 ladies. I will be telling all of them about my experience. When a business states that they are open until a certain time, they ought to be prepared to wait on customers until that time. I wont be stopping in for lunch anymore, buying anything again. I am just tired of crappy customer service, like the customer is a bother for stopping in while they are still open and expecting to be serviced..

My family threw a retirement party for my mom this past weekend & we wanted a small round cake for her! Ive heard great things about this bakery so I was excited to finally have a reason to order a cake. I called the bakery last Wednesday morning to inquire about ordering one for the Saturday. The lady I spoke with was very nice and when I asked if I should order it via phone right then and there or if could I wait until I was back in town on Thursday morning to come to the bakery myself she assured me I could wait until Thursday & that it would be no problem. I showed up Thursday afternoon ready to place my order but was told by the lady behind the counter they were no longer taking orders for the weekend. I was a little frustrated because I specifically asked on Wednesday when I called if there would be any issue in waiting until Thursday. Had I known they wouldnt be able to accommodate my request I would have ordered it on Wednesday when I called. I completely understand orders cannot be controlled in terms of when they come in, but it was disappointing to say the least.

The place to go for cakes, cookies and scones. Excellent customer service (Ive never had a bad experience). Weve ordered birthday cakes here for years, and theyve always been wonderful. Even when providing very vague direction on decorations, theyve come through with exceptional designs. A little spendy, but worth every penny. Beautiful and delicious. And the curry chicken salad is a favorite, too!

I have heard so many things about this bakery, so we decided to go and see what types of bakery goods the sale, never did I realize that the person who assisted was very disrespectful which I will never visit this bakery again. The person name that was displayed was Kim, even when it was time to pay Kim tone was toward us was very negative, we tried to be positive but when other people were getting treated nicely and when it was time for us to request our bakery treats, only to be treated negative. I never try to play the race card, but this was the one time I will use it. If your African American just record yourself or have someone else record it, especially if Kim is there and you will experience what am trying to say. The only thing that was missing in west side baker is the confederated flag.

I made a special trip to check out this bakery, cute and easy to find. The inside is cozy and the presentation of the goodies are pleasing to the eye. I ordered a lemon specialty cupcake. Lemon cream cheese icing, lemon cake and lemon curd inside. I love lemon fyi :) the lemon curd inside was awful like it was old. The icing itself was ok but it tasted like someone walked into the store and smoked on them. I also got just a regular cupcake white cake and what was suppose to be buttercream frosting which was almost flavorless. This one seemed like it had a freezer taste and the cake seemed dried out. Overall cake wise I wouldnt buy any of these items again. I also got a sugar cookie with icing, this I did like and it was decorated very pretty. I would probably not go back. Prices are a bit high for more than a spur the moment lets try this kind of place. The specialty cupcake was $4 and I could only eat 1/4 of it. The regular one was 3 or 3.50 and also went into the trash.

Today was the first time going to The Westside Bakery to pickup a cake for my friend. I go in, let the young lady Isabell know that I am her to pick up a cake for stated the last name she asked if it was a sheet cake? I proceeded to tell her its a 2 tier cake. She said ok one moment I have to go to get it. I asked am I in the correct location? She stated that the production place is like a minute or 2 away. She returns after a few minutes with the cake. I take a picture of the cake a send it to my friend, to make sure this was correct. She send a message back and says something about the name wasnt correct I also noticed that the name was incorrect. I told her about the name and stated let me see if they can correct it. About 15 minutes goes by and she comes back with the cake. The name corrected. (Mind you this isnt my cake) my friend stated that the cake had a plaque on it and the name was suppose to be on the cake. She then says rudely you should of told me this before . Listen this isnt my cake and Im only going of the person that ordered the cake. (As she shot the messenger)Long story short. First impression are EVERYTHING and this was my first impression. After customer service like that I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE!!!

OUR HEROS! My sister had ordered a cake for my nieces 5th birthday from the bakery at Wal-Mart. She ordered it 2 weeks prior to the party and showed the bakery associate pictures of what she wanted. They assured her that it would be what she wanted (a unicorn cake) and wrote out the order. Day of the party she picks it up and it is basically a wedding cake ( and not a well-done on at that) complete with jewelry(?) on it. She calls and they told her they cant do anything about it. My husband immediately sets off to find a cake for the party and the West Side Bakery was the hero! They not only made a cake but made the MOST PERFECT unicorn cake a child could want! It was absolutely delicious and so beautiful we hated to cut into it! Needless to say, they will be getting all of our business from now on! Thank you so much to the bakers and staff for going above and beyond to save the day! You made a 5 year olds birthday perfect!
