I visited Helen Bernhard Bakery back in October. Service was okay and it was to-go place. There were a ton of pastries to choose from along with breads as well. I got some sesame sandwich bread and two Halloween cupcakes. The bread was good. The cake part of the cupcakes was good but the icing wasn't the best. Overall, it was a good bakery visit. I will definitely come back to try more of their baked goods.

We came here for a last minute birthday cake today for my daughter. Just fyi, I donmt like chocolate cake but all my kids love it. I do like peanut butter and chocolate candy but never would I have ordered this on my own. My daughter wanted their peanut butter chocolate cake as her and her sister are both PB chocolate fans. Wow! This cake was SO good!!! It was fresh and incredibly moist and the flavor was so good. I was really surprised at how good it was. I actually thought I tasted peanut butter in the cake too. But honestly, I'm not sure I have ever had a bad cake from here. This is one of the few bakeries that you can just drive to and always find a good cake. Thank you!!

Love their eclairs so much! You can also purchase a cake-tasting box which is a fun little project/treat.

This is just a classic old fashioned bakery in the very best way. Super quick and friendly service (one employee was dealing with the most particular and exacting customer ever and never showed an ounce of frustration). There are so many bakery cases filled to the brim and it was hard to make a decision! We settled on red velvet and German chocolate cupcakes, chocolate petit four, chocolate covered coconut macaroon, and a swirly danish of some sort. All absolutely delish! My favorite was the petit four and I wish I would have gotten one of each variety. Their buttercream is exceptional and delicious. I forgot I'd wanted to try a donut as I've heard they are great...ah well next time! Prices are really great. They have adorable cookies and decorated cakes too. I think there were some discounted day old items as well. There is a small lot for parking out front of the shop, but be prepared to park along the street.

Walking before my schedule appointment....I noticed this bakery and I had to check it out. There was a good amount of people already inside order dozens of yummy items. I ordered a snickerdoodle and a lemon square. I couldn't even wait. I ate the snickerdoodle while checking out Service was gentle and quick! She finished before I finished the cookie. The place itself feels like a home and smells like sweetness. Definitely worth checking out!

Let me start with if you do not visit, there is something seriously wrong with you! Are you craving a bakery that has amazing pastries, cakes, cookies, bread and, oh, did I say ECLAIRS!? Don't' walk, don't run., race to this location. Oh wait - no, you might beat me there and purchase my sweet treats! Why do we visit Helen Bernhardt's often? While all of their products are delicious, their chocolate eclairs are probably the best I have ever had (and we have traveled the world across Europe (think Italy) to Asia (think Japan) to Latin America and of course across the U.S. (home). The location is easy to find. It is a cute old house/bakery. Go up the stairs and open the door to the sweet smell of baked goods. We are always greeted and welcomed quickly and I am afraid to say the team there is starting to get to know us. :-). The store is always clean and if you come early, stocked with a variety of amazing sweets (check out the pictures which have been taken over multiple trips). I don't have to say I will be back. I have to say, I need to monitor how often I will be back because the product is so amazingly delicious. This bakery is on my top ten list and for me, that says a lot. You will not be disappointed. Please just don't take my eclair before I get there!! (LOL) Now that's funny!

This is still one of my go-to spots for some donuts and cakes. They have a plethora of items to choose from and also whole cakes that they have ready to go for last-minute shoppers. My favorite cake here is the strawberry pink champagne cake.
