“I have been getting my cakes here for the last 3 years, 3 weeks ago my kids had the flu and I had to cancel my 9 year olds’ birthday party and cancel his cake order a day before the party. I understand the cancellation policy and understand that I won’t be refunded for the late cancellation.On a wimp I messaged them at 10pm on December 30th, the night before his postponed party date hoping they may have a Roblox cake available. They said they didn’t. And then messaged me in the morning telling me they had an extra cake in the freezer that matched our previously ordered flavor and they would try to make the cake before the party as they were busy that morning and were making no promises. Not only did they go out of their way to try when they had no obligation to but they decorated his cake exactly how we ordered it and had it ready for us.This type of service is unheard of. The owner even messaged me later that day and apologized for not greeting my son and I when we picked it up. Unheard of. I’m amazed by their humanity and incredibly grateful for them. Thank you so much for adding some magic to our holiday season. I was still going to hire them for future celebrations after learning about the cancellation policy because I understand business and they’ve always been amazing and this just solidified my stance and I will tell everyone where to buy cakes and treats. Oh and their cakes taste amazing. They have a customer for life.“
“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!“
“My wonderful husband surprised me with a customized sprinkle baby cake. He knows I LOVE playing pickleball even at 34 weeks pregnant. I especially loved my cake because it showcased the pickleball paddle I play with! ? My vanilla and raspberry baby Pickleball cake was so beautiful, moist, and very delicious. Even after a few days in the fridge, the cake stayed moist and yummy! The details and lettering on the cake were gorgeous! I received so many compliments on the look and taste. I highly recommend Cravings By Dorcaris! Thank you SO much!! We’ll definitely be ordering from you again! ❤️“
“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!!“
“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!“

“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.“
“Truly wonderfully delicious kiffles! My mom is too old to bake them herself anymore, but Kiffle Kitchen saved Christmas at our house! We will be in Florida next year, but I'll be sure to have some shipped there too. Thank you KK for turning out a wonderful product that so many of us grew up with. They sell out very fast though...“
“We decided to go to Mis Riaces Columbian Resturant (Schoenersville Rd, Bethlehem) last evening for dinner. It is a new restaurant that just opened about a month or so ago and it is a "MUST TRY"! Friendly and hospitable service! Thank you Alejandro! Reasonably priced and portions are huge. We started off with the empanadas which was served with three dipping sauces. They were very good. I had the Bandeja paisa (beef steak, chorizo, beans, rice, fried egg, plantains ,chicharrón (fried pork belly or rind) & avocado). When the plate was placed on the table my eyes opened wide and could not believe how much food was on the plate. Definitely could have feed two people. Very flavorful and great presentation! My better half had the Grilled pork (Cerdo a la Parrilla) huge piece of pork with French fries and rice. Seasoned with fresh herbs and very tasty. We were so full there was no way we could have had dessert. But when we were leaving the dessert and pastries that were in the display case tempted us to take some deserts home for a treat later that night. We will be back!“
“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.“
“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“
“This is hands down one of my favorite places of all time. While my heritage is PA Dutch I was fortunate enough to be raised by a Slovak Stepdad who introduced me to good tasting food including strudel. I've been a regular customer since they've opened and have never been disappointed in anything I've tried. Also my 88 year old Stepdad said it's the best strudel he's had since his Grandmother's which says a lot. Most importantly, you will not find better people than Kelly and Tom. To them you are not a customer, you are a friend. Whenever I go to the shop or see them at a Farmer's Market I feel like Norm from Cheers. If you haven't been there yet you don't know what you are missing!“
“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!“
“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❤️❤️❤️“
“Absolutely love their fried pickles. It as I call them pickle chips. Big tasty hamburgers. Great fries Great servers and food. Was satisfied every time. Great meal choices for people with different diner meal favorites. Loved the hamburger I had and their dessert was great. Big pieces of cakes and warm gooey brownie sundae w ice cream.Vegetarian options: Lots of salad choicesParking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Claw machines, kid menus, & coin machines for kids“
“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!“
“Very cute cafe in Northampton! Right next to the Roxy theater. They have different kinds of coffee from lattes to cappuccinos to espresso shots and many more. They have Monin syrup for flavors and the alternative milk choices are Oat or Almond.They have a lot of pastry options, but nothing looked vegan or gluten free.I highly recommend coming here if you are in Northampton. It would be nice if it had more food catering to more diets like vegan or gluten free, but I also know there may not be a market for that in Northampton.Vegetarian options: The coffee is vegan and they offer oat and almond milk. Monin syrups are vegan except for the honey flavored ones that are not carried at this location.There are no vegan pastries. There are vegetarian pastries.Dietary restrictions: They have pastries, but they contain a lot of allergens like nuts, eggs, milk, and gluten. If you have a dietary restriction I would recommend sticking with the coffee only.Parking: Parking is metered along the street. You must pay with quarters. There is no app to pay to park. 1 quarter is 1 hour and there is a 2 hour max. If it's busy then it is impossible to find parking, but if it's calm then there will be lots of free meters.“
