I loved local long before local was cool and this bakery has a lot to love. So excited to find it. Since 1958. Friendly service. Great selection. Very reasonably priced. I wish you many years of profitable business.
My husband and I came in to order a full custom sheet cake for my mom?s birthday party. We had an image picked that we wanted to print to the cake. We were told over the phone that they could print edible images. However, when we got there we were hit with ?copyright? infringement comments on every image we picked. They referred us to a book of pre made images. It was inconvenient, but even that all was fine. We had a lot of questions as we needed a full custom sheet cake. The ladies behind the desk were n
What I thought was a fresh loaf of Italian bread and it was hard like crunchy hard so I don?t know if I got a couple of day or a couple week old bread or if it?s set out too long or what the deal was but definitely not satisfied I mean the price is three bucks so I might just dry it out and make some croutons Definitely wasn?t for the sandwiches that I wanted.
Great little bakery. The donuts were excellent!
A solid example of a great classic bakery. Everything we tried was good, and we tried a LOT! Will return next time we are back in the area for sure!
Beautiful store front and they make a delicious cake. Shop local folks, it?s one of the biggest ways to bring economic value to your town!
I wonder if they just buy pies from the grocery stores and sell them as their own. I've had 4 occasions, in 4 yrs to get or eat a pie from this bakery and there's simply nothing to rave about. The flavor,texture and quality is just flat. The most recent purchase was at the Wellsburg Apple Festival, an apple pie of course, and it was like eating one of those personal pies you'd get at Walmart; sweet but not homemade or local bakery level quality! Guess it's Krogers next time!
Best cookies ever,would recommend everyone to go get some in town or if you are from out of town take some other best cookies in the country!! Have been going there since I was a child.????
Looking forward to stopping tomorrow as coming to see nutcrackers and spending the night. Stopped in and bought several bake goods in the summer when we saw the catfish.
This bakery has been around since I was just a youngster in diapers. Everything is always so fresh and it always smells so yummy in there. Their prices are that good anymore but yet not too bad either. It all depends are what your getting.
They used to have great raisin filled cookies, like my homemade. I bought some the other day.They were awful! Not a cookie dough, tasted like they were made with a cake mix. Load of sugar on outside. They fell apart. Won?t go back!!!!!
I have been going to the Downtown Bakery since I was a little girl. There is not a bakery around that will ever come close to the Downtown Bakery. Especially the glazed donuts, smiley face cookies and their birthday cakes ??
Love it here but the older cashier likes to run ur card twice if the receipt paper runs out.. double charging the card u use and, don't ya know...cannot do a darn thing to refund the extra charges. She tells you to come in and speak to the manager in the afternoon, but they don't seem to know who that is or when a good time to speak directly to the "Manager" might be... Eventually, I stopped calling at 6:30 am daily for my typical "run around" when 30 days passed and my 'refund time had run out. If not for
The best donuts I've ever had, in my life! No exaggerations! The ladies who work there were a bit rough when I first moved here cuz I be stoned sumtines n end up leaving w/3 of every other donut and 5 of the rest?????? it took a bit to soften em up but now? I feel missed when I walk in there now ?? not sure if my decision to leave a lil extra on the counter when I leave helped the softening err not, but it didn't hurt ??
Stopped in first thing in the morning. Donuts were fresh and the service was great!
I went at 10ish and there were NO cream filled anything, NO jelly filled, NO raspberry filled, all that was left was the donuts nobody cares about. Not that I need them anyway but I've been happy here before. So my question is, if these are the top sellers why not make more of them to last the day so you DON'T get UNsatisfied customers? I hope I get better donuts next time. The ones that we did pick were so dry even after dunking! Like I said I have always had awesome cakes, donuts, etc. here so I don't kn
I stopped and picked up a few of the long John's. It smelled nice and was clean. One staff member was waiting on a customer and had to call for another several times til she came out of the back and waited on me. Long John's tasted good and you could tell handmade vs grocery store variety. I dont think you could go wrong with anything you decide to eat in here. Will stop back when I am passing through again.
if you need to pick up a dozen donuts then youll get the job done and support a mom and pop. other than that its ?standard? and drab.
I haven't been to the Downtown Bakery in quite some time with now living in Houston but I got to stop there today and get my classic "Smiley Face" cookies fix and they're still awesome! Keep up the awesome job guys! *Update, I recently ordered a dozen of smiley face cookies as the last time I was there they told me they ship out of town so I decided to finally try it first it was extremely expensive just for a dozen cookies almost $25..Second when calling to place the order I didn't receive the best custom
ICONIC. Their cookies and pastries are always good and made fresh every morning. never had a problem here. Absurdly good pricing, you can fill up a whole box of sweets for $10. Every employee i've talked to is super nice. Can't go wrong. Go here and support our local businesses!
Lady working counter very friendly and helpful. Lots of donuts,cookies and pastries. Got creme filled and custard filled,donuts great flavor and fresh but creme filling only on one end not all way thru donut, the custard had no flavor usually custard is a bit sweet no flavor but the donut was fresh. So depending on what you expect stop by and try.
Fresh baked daily! The Cheese Cake is the best. They have it all and it's like the bakeries when I was a kid in the 70s. Friendly helpful employees.
Love love love their donuts. Go early for the best selection. From cream sticks to cake donuts they have it all. And remember they have the original smiley cookies. Great service friendly people and of course great freshly made donuts cookies and bread. If you find yourself in the steubenville area fourth street for the best donuts in the valley
Great baby cream horns but stopped accepting EBT and some of the dough used, like the cream puffs, taste like old. Like how old smells, yeah that's the taste. My mastiff walked away my fr! &. $23 for 4 donuts and 12 baby cream horns (.89cents each), and 2 old puffs supposed to be fresh daily I call bs on that but get cookies or baby nut rolls or the cream horns your good! ... So kinda pricey for not the best taste.
Drove 50 miles because they advertised Hungarian nut rolls, what a disappointment, worst nut rolls I?ve ever had. They were made with filo dough, and the nuts we?re not even ground up to a smooth paste, large chunks of nuts in them. If you?ve ever had Hungarian nut rolls don?t waste your time on these.
Goodness! I've been getting Down Town bakery longer then I can remember ?? When I come to town that's one of the first stops for me! But the last few times I've stopped they have RUD women working there! Your not happy why be there?!
Downtown Bakery is on my checklist of places to visit on every one of my roughly quarterly trips to Steubenville. The maple iced long johns taste exactly as they did when my grandmother would bring them home when I was a little guy back in the late 80s/early 90s. Other items never disappoint and are always surprisingly affordable.
Everything I have had from here so far is fantastic!! The staff is friendly. The place is clean. Update: I bought two pineapple cookies. Took a bite out of one then noticed there was a dead gnat baked into it, they tried to tell me it was just on top. When I took it in they looked at it said sorry and offered me store credit. Never again.
Love their cakes. Always go there for birthday cakes. Smiley face cookies are a must for young and old alike. Doughnuts are delicious, but need to get there early for the best selection.
Found A TON of hair on my sweet treats. I know there is a dog on premises. Disgusting. Not to mention the owner, Rikki, is absolutely RUDE to her customers. Do not recommend?
What happened? Nothing taste the same. Perhaps you all should rebrand and try something new. I was very disappointed in the 18 smiling face cookies and the chocolate chip cookies I purchased and brought back to Atlanta with me. They were anything but fresh.
Nice little bakery. So many pastries to choose from. The staff are very kind and professional they're more than willing to help you out if you wasn't sure about your choices. Highly recommend to use cash for convenience. They do accept Cards. I had the strawberry topping doughnuts it was so good! Highly recommended.
Wasn't impressed! I gave a 3 star because this was just an average bakery experience for me. In fact they messed up one of my items. Asked for Bavarian creme filled donut and they gave me white cream... yuck ?? While the cookies, donuts and bread was fine, I've been to much better bakeries elsewhere. I went here because reviews were good. I was not WOW'ed , it was just okay. In fact, I liked Kroger's bakery items much better and will probably just keep going there.
During the Xmas parade this place was hopping, busy as all get out. But the wait was worth it as I got a loaf of Italian bread along with some Santa n snowman sugar cookies. Although I did think they were a little pricey at $ 1.00 apiece, but quite tasty. I shall patronage their business again in the near future ????????
Just amazing donuts point blank! Totally worth the drive from Pittsburgh
I love going here for our cakes and cookies, the Bavarian filling in a white cake is my FAVORITE cake, and I can't ever go in and not get cream puffs. The cream puffs are what dreams are made of. All the people who work there are super nice and patient as well.
I grew up in steubenville and loved when my grandmother took me for a pastry here. My very dear friend begged the bakery to send me some cookies they did not want to ship for fear they would show up as crumbs. Well I can tell you I loved the cookies and did not care some were crumbs and I was so happy to have these cookies they are delicious! Thank you!
I used to be a very loyal customer for years. One day I had called to order a cookie cake for my son's birthday and everything was fine until I got a call back from one of there workers telling me they had no chocolate chips and that I needed to pay in advance with a credit card for them to make it.After dealing with them for years and spending a lot of money through the years I was shocked.I had never had to do that before so Ooooo ridiculous. I will never go or spend another dime in that place.I have alwa
I came home to visit and bought 2 cream hornes. Took my first bite and spit it out. The usual delicate cream filling was replaced by a nasty, gritty horrible sugar filling that I threw away after one bite.
A definite stop in our travels to the area!
Today we tried Downtown Bakery in Stubenville. Got home, opened the box of chocolate chip cookies. Stale and rock hard, what a disappointment.
Please don't ever stop making the smiley face cookies?? or the lady locks & whoopie pies, also lightest & best cheesecake??
Krispy Kreme who? Donuts were so good for great price, along with other local great eat Steve's fish and chips on 4th st. was worth the 45 min trip for a little taste of home.
Filled cookies were terrible...how come a great recipe was CHANGED..,Walmart cookies are better. Why do you change something good?????
The food they sell is really good and taste great and fresh and the service is fast and the employees I met so far are nice and helpful I recommend the maple dounut for those who like them.
What happened to choc. cake/rosecups?? Asked counter person if the very light choc . was a new flavor. ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A SPICE CAKE. Person stated, it was choc...MADE purchase.. later that day attempted to eat.. AWFUL!!!!!THESE USE TO BE A REALLY GOOD CUPCAKE TYPE TREATS WITH LOTS OF ICING. THE ICING wasnt same either. Noticed to some of the filled long John's are smaller too. TOO MANY Changes, not for better... This had been my cake place for many , many years.. Hope this was just a bad batch...
The cookies and donuts I got the other day was not that good the cookies were hard and the cream sticks barely had anything in them this is not the downtown bakery that I remember because their stuff was a lot better than this maybe new cook
Best donuts ever! No heavy greasy taste or feeling in my stomach. Will be a regular from here on out.
This really was pathetic! We were in town and stopped at this bakery. We wanted to turn around and leave, as it didn't look so good. We tried raisin filled cookies, lady fingers, sugar cookies with butter cream and nut roll cookies. Everything was stale and just awful. So sad.
I remember going here with my grandmother after parades and festivals. She'd always buy me a cookie. Their cookies and pastries are phenomenal. Great people too.
Their cakes, cookies and pastries are second to none! I went there to buy a cake for a coworker. They personalized the cake, sold it for a reasonable price and the coworker enjoyed the cake, surpassing all expectations!
Great donuts! Go early..they sell quickly or order ahead and they will have them ready for you. Great pies too!
Their glazed donuts are as good as any I've ever eaten. Do yourself a favor and go buy some......NOW. reasonably priced also.
Good food but very rude workers and ask for napkins said we don't give them out well we just bought donuts what the heck really is this how you suppose to do customer. No it's not learn customer service respect.
Worst cookies I've ever purchased from a bakery. They had to have been frozen from last year
Best smiley face cookies ever. Birthday cakes ,donuts bread, cookies and more. I have never been disappointed in the quality of the products.
The bakery was trying to close when I stopped for some goodies. They not only waited on me but two other folkes came after me and they unlocked the door for each of them! Awsome!
Always yummy. Live the cake doughnuts and smiley face cookies. Their raspberry filled cake is so good.
Never been here before, the woman was so so rude, the guy was very nice. The cookies were horrible, donut was good, but I will never go the tree e again
Old school favorite. Great little bakery!!!
This bakery has been around andI love going there when I'm close..always delish
This place is soooooo good! Everything in there is awesome! It's in the old down town area so not so up to date! But clean and yummy!
Solid bakery but have had better, nut roll was missing a little flavor.
Ordered 2 of something and only got 1. At 730am were out of almost all doughnuts. Which is good for business. Disappointing for me
Very good pastries. Cookies were also delicious. Minimal selection of bread but overall was very good.
Great customer service and helpful employees. Not to mention how delicious their cakes are. Repeat customer for years.
Best sheet cakes in the area! Great texture and buttercream icing is perfect.
What can one say .every thing thay make is so delicious. You have to get there early or you will miss out.
Delicious doughnuts and they open at 5 AM for those of us who have to be at work insanely early.
Always a pleasure walking in the smell will drop u to ur knees lol AMAZING PASTRIES @ great prices. Highly recommend!!!!!
I am disappointed that the door is not wheelchair accessible. I called ahead. I wish I could sit with a cup of coffee and have a cheese danish. They make my mouth water looking at the pictures.
Great taste, not enough people working out front. Prices have good up also.
They have the best dounuts I just got some the jellie filled and chocolate
Very disappointed in the cookies, horrible, dry and threw them away!
Always a good place to go for fresh daily doughnuts I love it there
They always have the best bakery treats. They also accept EBT for their baked goods.
Got fresh doughnuts and bread. But they run out of stuff so fast they need to make extra batches of what they know they will sell out of fast.
Have in past shopped at bakery.But Bank ATM is right across street where I went.
The doughnuts still take as good as they did when I was a young boy.
Mostly white flour breads/ buns and deep fried doughs. Not a good way to enjoy sweets.
This bakery had the most delicious pastry, cookie, brownies, etc. Everyday is fresh.
Great variety, speciality cakes (can make anything, made a dart board cake for me before).
Went there for the first time and it was okay but I must have gotten there late because all they had left was some cookies I was looking for some bread
Downtown Bakery makes fabulous cookies! We can never get enough.
Great doughnuts and bread. Prices aren't too bad either
