“What a super cute locally owned and operated place. Had weekend brunch here. There were about 10 choices on the menu board (a chalkboard) all with the same price. We were there about 12:30 and after we ordered the two items we ordered were crossed off.Recommendations: reservations and get there early for the full menu.Outstanding dessert selection available.The atmosphere was fun and perfect for the holiday spirit. I understand their decor changes with the season.“
“Despite my brother's inability to choose what to put on the cake, we were very happy with our cake from Egypt Star because they have the best flavor and quality in the Lehigh Valley! The staff were friendly at the time of order and pick up, and at the Emmaus location, there is convenient parking right out front.“
“This is probably the best bakery bar-none outside of any town I've ever been to in my life. The staff is absolutely genuine and wonderful and kind and I would go here every day of the week if I could to eat but they don't serve restaurant style typically. They cater and do big events and they have a wonderful atmosphere and the people there are absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend Louie's Bakery!! My humblest regards, k.david“
“The cookies are always delicious and they have so many choices. I love that they switch up the flavors on a weekly basis. Friendly and professional staff, great service and presentation. Plus, it always smells amazing when you walk in the door. Can’t go wrong with this place! True meaning of “bang for your buck”Parking: They have spots designated for their establishment and they also do curbside takeout orders.“
“Exceptional service and delicious cakes! Dorcaris is absolutely wonderful and is a master in her craft. As a fellow baker, I know a good cake when I see one. The cake I ordered turned out exactly how I envisioned it and tasted amazing! Highly recommended, 10/10!“
“We hired The Farm Bakery to make our wedding cake and an assortment of mini desserts for the reception! They were all DELICIOUS and our guests especially enjoyed being able to pick multiple little treats to enjoy! Highly recommend the chocolate covered strawberries - they were a crowd favorite! Special shout out to Alyssa - thank you for dealing with my hundreds of emails and helping bring my vision to life! I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you choose them for your wedding vendor.“
“Very cozy coffee shop on the South Side. Plenty of seating and sofas to comfortably lounge and drink coffee. They have some games, books and magazines you can use as well. The staff are so friendly and nice and the coffee they make is amazing, way better than Starbucks.“
“I have stopped in here a few times and every time I end up more impressed! Today I tried the fudge cups for the first time based on the owners recommendation. I tried it (immediately) and I think I ascended into heaven. It was THAT good. My husband had a Boston cream donut and he said it was the best he ever had. We were going to save the other desserts but I think we may need to skip dinner today and just eat them. The owner is so nice and friendly as well. Love this place!“
“I was in Allentown for two arbitrations. They are held at the bar association. When I asked people where to go to grab something, not a meal, everyone recommended Mary Ann Donut. They were right. The donuts are an excellent compromise between yeasty ( think Krispy Kreme) and caky (think plain or New England cut). Even at 11:00 a.m. people were buying dozens at a time. Admittedly, it was limited selection at that time.“
“I love this place! We need more vegan specific restaurants in town.It's so nice to be able to enjoy any treat that looks good ?Vegetarian options: It's all vegan! No eggs, no dairy, no honey.Dietary restrictions: Perfect for vegans and vegetarians. If you're allergic to dairy or eggs this is the place to go for sweets!Parking: Limited street parking but I always manage to find a spot :)“
“I made an online order for a 10” Snickerdoodle cake for my Grandmother's birthday. It was for pick up. When I got there, it was quick and easy, they are very friendly and the place is clean and well kept. The cake we got; we enjoyed yesterday. This was my first time purchasing a cake from this company and I can safely say it wasn’t a disappointment! Everyone who ate it had the same things to say, it was delicious and moist. I highly recommend a cake from here. Hands down, delicious! Thank You!!“

“Such a fabulous market with many specialty items and a really nice gluten free section. The gluten free pasta far exceeds the brands sold at larger grocery stores. Now onto the main event…the cheesesteak!! Simply delicious…the ribeye was seasoned perfectly and the ratio of onions and Cooper sharp was spot on. All of that deliciousness was on a fantastic seeded roll. Being a resident of Bethlehem, I can’t wait for Mercatino Italiano to open its shop here. Hands down, it will be the BEST cheesesteak in the Lehigh Valley.“

“Closest thing to a new york deli you will find in the area! Growing up on Long Island and moving to PA meant losing out on the delis we frequented often as a family. I was thrilled when this one opened up just down the street from my parent's house a little while back. The staff is super friendly, the food is great, and more importantly the BAGELS are great. Nothing quite like this in the area.I'm a fan of the fun bagel sandwich creations as well as their chives cream cheese.“
“Awesome place! Wish I had found it years ago. Love the chocolate milk in the glass bottles. Reminds me of my youth when we got them that way. The chocolate milk is so good. They have fresh bakery items, pies made to order, and other freshly made foods without all the preservatives you get in store bought food.“
“My partner and I had a beautiful dinner here last weekend. We got the “dinner for two” and loved everything. The food was delicious, we chose the spinach and feta pies and the chicken and beef kebabs. Dessert and Turkish coffee was the best. Our server and the restaurant were very nice. Thanks!“
“I need to brag a out how amazing this owner is. Not only does she make some of the most beautiful cakes but she is extremely kind and goes above and beyond for her customers. And I really mean above and beyond. You ask for cupcakes, she'll make them beautful, delicious, put them in a cute gift bag and write a hand written birthday card for you/from you. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. I will continue to only go to Amy for cakes. Happy customer.“
“I ordered a sheet cake for my daughter's baby shower and it was perfect! Beautiful and delicious, so tasty! The cake was flavorfuland moist, the buttercream icing was perfect, not too sweet like some other places make it. This is now my go-to bakery!“
“Just swung by for the first time, and let me tell you, Hippie Chippie Cookies are incredibly tasty! Packed in a cup with a sealed lid, loaded with creamy goodness in flavors like peanut butter, caramel, and hot fudge. (We got the caramel) Seriously impressed for my first visit. Gonna try the pretzels next. And the owner was super friendly and helpful. Definitely, recommend giving it a shot! Would give 6 stars if I could!!!“
“I was very pleased with my child’s Baby Shark birthday cake. The cake was designed beautifully and tasted delicious too. We got a strawberry cake and the strawberry flavor was very vibrant and moist. All my guests complimented the cake appearance and flavor. I will be returning again for future cake orders, for sure!“
“We learned how to decorate cupcakes with really good quality icing. Huma was an excellent instructor. She was very patient and kind. We would definitely support her business in other ways. Her decorating techniques were awesome and she even shared her recipe for the icing with us.“
“The cake was a masterpiece! The attention to detail in the decoration was beyond my expectations. It was not just a cake; it was a work of art. Every swirl, every flower, every little detail was so meticulously crafted that it added a unique charm to the occasion. My wife was over the moon with joy when she saw it. Now, let's talk about the taste - oh, the taste! The flavor was an absolute sensation. What I appreciated the most was the perfect balance of sweetness. The icing wasn't overpoweringly sweet; it was just right, complementing the cake's flavor wonderfully. We love their donuts, and from now on, our go-to place for cakes will also be The Bakery Nook.“
“When looking for a place to make lunch reservations Mis Raices popped up on my search. I had never dined here before so I had to give it a try. Especially because it is a Latin and I always get excited when there is a new one to try in the Lehigh Valley. I loved the food! Great prices for the portion of food received. They offer both breakfast and lunch menus tons of great meals to choose from. Can not wait to go back and try something else. Best part is they have a bakery!“
“So this place was super chill and had great coffee. I'm not really a person who tries new stuff when it comes to my coffee unless it sounds really really good. But this time I saw a mint mocha coffee that was seasonal and I just had to try it and I'm glad I did cause it was amazing. The 2 people who were working the counter were awesome and pretty fast . I loved that it wasn't super busy and the lighting gave the place a good vibe.“

“The staff was very welcoming and helpful. I had a question and the gentleman working was happy to help point me in the right direction and even gave me tips on techniques I wasn’t totally familiar with. I would recommend this store to bakers of all levels!“
“Food is delicious! Great service, kind employees. Try the kibbe, baklava, baba, the wraps, the tabbouleh, make sure you get the homemade pitas before they sell out!! Make sure you check the hours before you go, they have limited store hours“
“Very nice people, we came down from stroudsburg Pennsylvania to try what they had! When I look for bakeries the first thing I think of is quesitos, pan sobao se agua, and sandwiches, and they had it! The cheeses from 1-10 I give them 4 because they were stunned and they didn't even have cheese as a regular cheese would definitely have, it was much less, the sandwiches were very good 1 triplet and 1 ham and cheese (typical) good and fresh at the moment and good size! Also 1 pound of pan de agua, very tasty and soft and good flavor! We also chose a delicious wet cake that they had and it tasted delicious!! But I gave them 4 because the cheese was definitely disappointing ? thanks for your kindness! We wish them well!“
“So many Italian bakery specialties. This is our second visit and sat in and ordered a espresso and a coffee, accompanied by a dessert. A few cookies and on our way.Viviana weighed my cookies, Portia made our espresso and Desirae answered some questions this day. Staff was pleasant and helpful.Parking: So much to choose from.“
“Hands down, Kym is the best! She came highly recommended by multiple friends. As a former professional baker myself, I’ve never actually used another baker because I would typically make things myself. When we were planning our wedding though I knew I needed someone else to make our cake for us. We booked a tasting with Kym and wound up spending the whole evening with her. We selected a couple flavors we wanted to try, and she had easily three times as many flavors there for us to try (the ones we selected, similar ones she thought we might also like, and her most popular flavors). Truly above and beyond! As we were tasting the flavors we were discussing design ideas and she was actually creating a digital design based off of what we were discussing. As a visual person I found this incredibly helpful! When we thought we wanted to change our flavors a week later she even made us more samples to pick up! Fast forward to our wedding day and when I say that everyone was obsessed and impressed by the cake I mean everyone - down to the DJ, waitstaff and venue employees! I’ve already placed a second order with Kym, and I know it won’t be the last. She’s gained new lifetime customers with us!“
“Was so excited to see the Caramel Apple pie was on the menu tonight as it’s my absolute favorite. So I ordered it on Grubhub this evening. Not only did it come fast but it came pre warmed like it just came right out of the oven!!!! I couldn’t believe it. Excellent job!!!!! And delicious!!!! Definitely will keep ordering. Great Job Perkins!“
“Our waitress Hope G. was so kind. Not only was she respectful and caring, but also she messed up a slice of my lemon meringue pie and gave another for free. She later came up and told me and my family that we all needed to have a slice of dessert on the house. My sister then got a carrot cake. Beautiful way to end the day. Best chicken tenders I had in a while. Chicken was nicely fried and the french fries were the perfect size and nicely fried as well. Way better and cheaper than Dorney Park's chicken and fries. I saw a few reviews about workers and I just want to say they have upgraded. The manager was nice and so were the other waitresses. 10/10 I will be coming back soon. We gave Hope. G a $20 tip!“
“if you want authentic, than look no further for the absolute best deserts. I have known the family for many years and went to school with both of the sons. They have been given the work ethic and skills it takes to make every desert with perfection. The time and effort that goes into making all the fillings to the dough of all the treats to enjoy is expressed in every bite. Simply amazing in every way! Nick & Chris love you guys. God bless“
“Amazing ? I came here after a nasty experience at the bacon strip getting cursed out over not wanting to eat raw food and Egypt bakery never fails to amaze me with their Amazing selections and family friendly environment. ❤ I love getting some coffee and coming here for some goods because it's a perfect match ? ?“
“I only drove by to smell the aroma of the fresh bread being baked and it took me back to my childhood walking my brother to school I had pass this bakery daily the aroma always made me ask my dad to get me a loaf of bread for myself he would as a treat I never asked for candy only 1 loaf of Lusitania Bread weekly..At night I get a piece with hot chocolate before my bedtime❤️❤️❤️“
“Kicked off my biscotti binge in Bradley Beach but since that's so far away from me, I asked around & My Boys Bakery came highly recommended. Got there & was a little taken aback that a bakery has zero display of their baked goods. Just a sign & packaging. So you have to take it on good faith & not have your eyes do the ordering. Not knowing what you're ordering or even having any kind of visual like a picture display or anything is kinda weird but I'm on a binge so ok. A box of 18 is $13. I thought that was reasonable ASSUMING the size of the biscotti is the "usual" size. I got the Almond, the Orange Toffee Pecan, Cranberry Pistachio, and I had her recommend their big seller which was the Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Caramel. As soon as I opened the box, I was disappointed because I could tell there was no anise flavoring. To me, no Italian cookie should be without it. BUT when I did bite into each one, I was happily surprised! They were buttery, flavorful, and with each one, the ingredients TOGETHER were a symphony. As I tried each one, it was hard to choose which one I liked best. Even the plain ol classic almond was delicious. They were on the smaller side but each one was good. Now that I know what to expect, I'll be back!“
“Awesome, staff and excellent cakes, I asked if they would bake a specific cake recipe, Cherry Chocolate Cake. At first Missy was a bit hesitant, but I convinced her it wasn't that hard, and I was buying the cake either way. So, went to pick it up the next day, it was beautifully decorated and delicious when we cut it up and served it for a birthday party. Definitely recommend this place and we'll worth the trip.“
