The food is awesome. The owner & other staff are really nice & helpful. Will give you samples to try before you buy. Loved everything! read more

The pastries and customer service here are absolutely phenomenal. While the location (from a parking / busy intersection perspective) isn't ideal, it's worth navigating to try some mouth watering croissants, cookies, and other various pastries they make for the day. Highly recommend driving out the Kenwood to try! read more

I hate to give them a rating! The more people who know about this wonderful bakery the harder it will be to get in! Everything is absolutely delicious and freshly made on-site. It is a small bakery - but if you want the best - this is it! The people who work there are gracious, patient and kind. read more

They ARE open on Sunday. The pastries were varied and delicious. Something for everyone! Service was attentive and provided samples of her favorites. Clean and bright interior. read more

I went in to the kenwood location for the first time this morning. The service was exceptional. They had me sample a pastry which I ended up getting and some other croissants. 10/10 was fresh, delicious and who knew this hidden gem was right around the corner. read more

My family and I are obsessed with this bakery. The ham and cheese croissants and morning rolls are like little angels came down from heaven and danced in my mouth. I would give a 1000 stars if I could. read more

The butter taste of the flaky, perfect breads is so delicious!!! Such impressive flavors! The proprietor was practicing my name the whole time he was serving me so that he could remember my name. He demonstrated his strong patron memory by commenting to another customer that on the bicycle this guy always rides, he would look like a Parisian man with this 2 breadstick loaves of bread in his bicycle basket! The proprietor shared that with the brand new bread oven, he has been practicing making pizza that keeps the bread (rather than toppings) as the main player. He shared a sample piece and I was recommend! His idea is to offer this pizza as an afternoon/evening option to all the traffic stalled outside his shop every evening (the light at the corner of Kenwood and Montgomery Rd. Nordstrom/Co-Hatch side of the Kenwood Mall). Such a forward thinking idea for a bakery! read more

This place has such yummy pastries that I want it all to myself! Picked up an assortment this weekend for a brunch and it was a hit! My personal favorite was the croissant dough cinnamon roll--we woke up too late to get the croissants which were already sold out by 10 am. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

We were passing through Cincinnati and found this on Yelp. If you are any where near you must stop in!! The shop is small only 2 small tables. It's extremely clean and the aroma of the freshly baked pastries is heavenly. We got there at10:50am on Sunday morning. The customer in front of us bought the last 2 danish which was sad but they still had enough other choice items. We tried: Ham and cheese croissants Power scone Chocolate croissant We really wanted to try the Kouign but they didn't have any in the case. We were lucky because the new batch was almost ready. While we waited we were invited to watch the sheeting for the ham and cheese croissants being prepared for Monday. The Kougin were definitely worth the wait!! The 2 ladies working were so friendly and helpful. We definitely will plan a trip to Cincinnati (3 hours from our home)just to return here. We will be there first thing in the morning so we can taste more of their amazing pastries!! read more

The pastries are so delicious. I thought I was in Paris. This is not your regular bakery. It is a step above. I love everything there. They are so friendly and helpful. Excellence service! I will always be back! read more

Everything here is delicious, but you MUST try the Kouign Amann. It's a croissant shaped like a small muffin with a crunchy sugar center. The ham and cheese croissant is a flaky, savory treat. With hesitancy, I'll describe the single serve European coffee cake because it's my favorite and I don't want it to sell out before I get there. It's a small round chocolate gem with flavors of chocolate. almond and fruit. Delicious warm with a little vanilla ice cream. Get here early for your goodies because they sell out fast. read more

What a lovely surprise of homemade gooooooodness! I found a treasure of homemade baked items prepared in house and from scratch. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. I tried many treats and will come here every time I make a stop at nearby Trader Joe's or Nordstrom which is across the street. Heck - I'll just come for this alone. Check them out! read more

I kept reading about this place on FB so decided to give it a go while I was in the area. Oh. My. Gosh. This place is just a gem. I had a hard time picking what I wanted to try because everything looked so good. Luckily the staff was so kind and gave plenty of samples. Their claim is that they have the best croissants outside of Paris and that is very likely true. The light buttery but sweet delicacy was one of the best I've ever tasted. My favorite however was the cinnamon roll. How you make a cinnamon file without icing is beyond me, but they made it work and I can't wait to try another. Definitely worth the lines and the limited hours to sample this place. read more

Boosalis Baking - Treats! - Bakeries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Delicious croissants at a reasonable price! I grab a few whenever I'm in the area. Owners are lovely.

Hands down the best croissant and pastries I've ever had! The quality of the ingredients, especially the butter, is evident! I am not in the area often as I don't live nearby but when I am I will not go without indulging on the deliciousness of these treats! Although, I will absolutely drive the 45 minutes just to get more if I don't find myself in Kenwood again soon! It's absolutely worth it! I had the privilege of meeting the owner during my last visit and he is so friendly and kind. I can't recommend Boosalis enough! read more

Boosalis Baking - Pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The baked goods are absolutely amazing. The owner is so nice. It feels good to support small businesses.

I have a favorite bakery downtown that is great but not very convenient. Ummmm yea....without a doubt, this bakery will be my go to for fresh pastries made in house. Kouign-Amann, I don't even know what this is but I apparently needed this in my life. The nice lady gave me a sample after I inquired about it ..well played. I immediately purchased that and a few others because I immediately knew this place was legit legit. French pastries have become my new love language lately and I'm almost sorry this is around the corner from my job. I see many treat Fridays spent right here demolishing the Kouign-Amann right in the parking lot. The croissant was unbelievable. The chocolate chip cookie was obviously homemade and fresh. The cheese danish with strawberry was super. Ok ok and yes I did take a bite of everything I purchased. You won't be disappointed. I might go back tomorrow actually. P.S. my husband likes his pastries more soft than flaky, I don't think he loved it as much as I did. read more

Closest I have found in the USA to French croissants. And pain au chocolates. Other family members like the other pastries.

If you're looking for authentic French pastries this is the place! The owner Matt is so welcoming & eager to please . Decadent options to choose from! Kenwood is lucky to have them read more

I've been a fan of Boosali's ever since I discovered his location up in Centerville, sometimes traveling 30 minutes out of the way just to get my hands on his pastries. So happy that his new spot is a bit closer to Cincy. You'll oftentimes find Mr. Boosali in the shop, whipping up fresh goodies & making sure that everything meets his high standards. This is a man that takes his craft seriously and you can taste it in his product. Pure & classic European pastries. One of the top 3 croissant makers in the area and the only kouign-amann maker that I'm aware of. If you're not sure where to start at Boosali's, go with a chocolate croissant, almond croissant, and a kouign-amann. You will not be disappointed. Mr Boosali is a master at what he does. read more

New addiction unlocked. If you are reading this and you love pastries then you must stop what you are doing, and immediately go to Boosalis. The pastries here are some of the best I have ever eaten. I have travelled all over Europe, and Boosalis is just as good or better. The light texture on the inside with the flaky crust is mouthwatering. On top of that the service is friendly, and attentive. I was also impressed with the prices. They were reasonable for what you are getting. If I could eat here everyday, without gaining 50 lbs., I would. I can't say enough good things, so please try Boosalis Bakery. read more

This is the best chocolate croissant ever! Layers of butter, airy, rich chocolate make it perfection. And like prior reviews you have to try the Kouign pastry. The pastry chef was so nice and I will absolutely be going out of my way to go here!! read more

Boosalis Baking - Croissant and Kouign. - Bakeries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My sister and I walked in and immediately were sold :) The smells, smiles and beautiful pastries were so lovely! It was our first time in, so the kind workers gave us a free sample of their freshly baked baguettes and the kouign-amann (SO GOOD)! We got to meet the owner, Matt, who was so friendly and welcomed us not only into the bakery but gave us a little tour of the back- where all the magic happens :) All the pasties are made with real butter, high quality dough and fresh that day! My new favorite bakery for sure read more

Absolutely phenomenal bakery in Kenwood! They definitely have a specialty and that specialty is buttery, flakey, French pastries. You're mostly going to find variations of croissants and danishes here - but practice clearly makes perfect here because these are top notch! I got an assortment of pastries from their cream cheese danish to their ham and cheese croissant and everything was superb. They also had more than enough croissants when I came at around noon on the weekend so you don't need to worry about them selling out of all of the good stuff. I wouldn't necessarily buy for a long time though - I had the pastries the next day and they were still great but definitely wouldn't have made it 2 days room temp. read more

It's a little hole in the wall that is so easy to miss. If it wasn't recommend to me I probably would have never found it. The Konign Amman was my favorite because I had never had one because. Everything was delicious though and the staff was super friendly when I was in.I'll definitely be returning read more

5 stars for the cinnamon orange pastry. It has the perfect amount of sweetness, butter and a touch of orange with cinnamon. It's my favorite. The kougin amann pastry is sure to be a crowd pleaser with its flaky buttery goodness. The owner is extremely friendly and always has samples to offer. The macroon is delish as well. Plenty of options to choose from. The parking lot is a little tight, but doable to get a French delectable. read more

Boosalis is the best pasties in town hands down! To be clear that's actual pastries not donuts cakes and cookies. In a little unassuming strip mall in Kenwood it doesn't look like much from the outside. Go in and try an Amann and it will change your mind! read more

Boosalis Baking - Blueberry/Lemon, Ham and Cheese, Morning Roll - Bakeries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Just discovered this place and I'm glad I did. Really delicious pastries. The morning roll with the orange zest and cinnamon was sooooo good! They also have kouigan amann...they are smaller than others I've had but that's fine because these are rich pastries. It just means I can eat it in one sitting will certainly go back again. read more

Stopped into Boosalis on a Friday morning to pick up some pastries for that evening! They were generous with the samples when I said it was my first time and extremely cheery and kind. I tried their specialty item (Kouign-Amann) which was truly delectable. I had numerous people try it and they all agreed it was their favorite. I also got a morning roll which has a nice orange zest flavor, a chocolate croissant, and a strawberry cheese danish. I'd go back for the Kouign-Amann alone!! They don't sell any crusty breads, as they don't have the right oven for it in Cincinnati, but I hear their breads at the Centerville location are to die for. She said they do try to make challah on Fridays. Go visit Boosalis to try the Kouign Amann at a minimum!! Perfect to swing by when running errands in Kenwood and the pastries held up great in the fridge until dinner time. Just be sure to pull them out in time to fully get back to room temp! read more

Solid. I'd even go so far as to say possibly the best bakery in East side Cincy. Everything is good. The Kouign-amann they told me is their best seller and I can see why - hard to go wrong with flaky dough, butter and sugar when done well! My kids love the chocolate crossiants. One of my faves is the cream cheese pastry. I also like the plain croissant but the hubs thinks it's a little too sweet, and while technically he's right, I don't mind it. Chalk it up to my love of things to lean to the sweeter side, like most of us Cincinnatians do. Recently they've had a "European coffee cake" which was a dense, dark, bread-like coffee cake. It had a lovely light orange and almond flavor to it. While not my favorite pastry ever, points for uniqueness and seemingly excellent execution. Last time I was in, a couple who had a unique allergy had a lot of questions about the flour and ingredients. The owner was insanely friendly with their questions, and understandably proud to know his ingredients and sources inside and out. I was truly impressed with how not just patient he was with them but genuinely excited to help them. The shop is pretty and clean w a slightly French vibe. There are only 2 small 2-tops available which are always full except early mornings. Definitely worth a stop! read more

I stopped in and was given exceptional service- was recommended a pastry that ended up being a favorite. I picked out 4 pastries, and every single one of them was absolutely amazing. This is how I imagine getting pastry in Europe to be. I will definitely be back. read more
