Hands down, best cupcakes in Cincinnati! Truth is, I'm not really into sweets all that much. So when I get really excited about a desert, you know it has to be pretty dang amazing! The cupcakes are just so light and fluffy that they are perfection. To me cupcakes are all the same usually, but these standout. I brought some into work and everyone was in love. It's waaay out on the Westside and they only take cash. But it's so worth it! read more

The peanut butter chocolate layer cake was amazing! Very soft and moist, well balanced between chocolate and peanut butter. Not too sweet. Very nice presentation as well! read more

Fabulous! My children got a dark chocolate/ raspberry mousse cake to celebrate my birthday. This is the best cake ever, light, moist, full of flavor with a wonderfully delicate icing and decoration. read more

This is hands-down, the best place to buy cupcakes, baklava, and the best cream horns in existence.

Extraordinary! I know that's a short review, but it sums it up. The cupcakes are simply out of this world! The hours posted on Yelp don't match the hours posted at the store. read more

Love the cupcakes and mousse cups from this bakery. Cupcakes are tender with wonderful fillings and icings! I haven't had one that I didn't enjoy. Service is friendly & efficient. read more

Note: Cash only. It's on the outskirts of Cincinnati, though I came based on a recommendation from someone at the mediterranean grocery next to Findlay Market. A small, no-nonsense shop had one fridge set aside for larger preordered cakes and a display of cupcakes and other confections which looked quite splendid. Admittedly, the ones I bought looked a little bit less splendid after I jostled them around in the car. The box said to keep them refrigerated and between my cooler and my refrigerator they seem to have kept well for several days. And my goodness were they delicious. The white chocolate, caramel, and raspberry-flavored creations I tried were utterly magnificent. White chocolate is a weird flavor, but when it's done right it is quite transcendent, and I'll be thinking about this place's white chocolate cake for a while. The spot is a hike from downtown Cincinnati, and the small storefront doesn't stand out. And this is not going to be the place for people with special dietary needs. But if you're wondering whether it's good enough to be worth seeking out, it definitely is. read more

Chocolate raspberry cake was amazing. Light and delicious without being overly sweet. Icing more like a mousse

George's pastries and cupcakes are amazing, as always! Custom cakes for special occasions are better than any bakery around.

Hot take ... I don't like cupcakes. That was a true statement until we stopped by Cakes & Pastries by George. These cupcakes were so far beyond what I had come to expect from a cupcake. Elevated to a new level of deliciousness and literally each cupcake is a visual work of art. Beautiful, Delicious, and the staff were courteous and helpful in suggesting what we should try. We will definitely be making the drive from our town to George's when we have a craving for cupcakes from now on. read more

Been going here for years! I was waiting outside for my bf to grab something from the shop next door and a woman that had driven all the way from Indiana to get cupcakes for an event saw me and for some reason she asked me if I had ever tried anything from George's - I told her no and she went back in and got me a strawberry cupcake - I've been hooked ever since. The cupcakes are literally out of this world good. I went back and tried the baklava and cannolis- amazing! Best I've ever had! I want to try every item they have... I probably will read more

Beautiful delicious cupcakes! Everything George makes is amazing! There is always a great selection at the bakery to choose from.

Best cakes and cupcakes! Fresh and light flavor. Flavors change daily but all delicious!

My birthday was this week and for part of my gift my son went to this bakery and bought macarons and half a dozen different cupcakes. Honestly, they are better than any other bakery I've been to in Cincinnati and will be my go to place even though they are further away. I think my favorite of the cupcakes was a hot chocolate one which you can see in the pictures. The frosting is the color of cocoa with a few mini-marshmallows on top and when you cut into it, there is marshmallow creme on the inside. Wow! There was a red velvet one, cookies and cream, perhaps Tiramisu and white chocolate caramel. I love to bake, but the products he puts out is so moist and delicious. Do yourself a favor and stop there. read more

Who knew? ‍ Apparently the 42 reviewers before me! All but one gave FIVE STARS You would never know the magical treats and delights that come from this store. An unassuming storefront in a strip mall. The cupcakes are simply amazing and beautiful too. I normally hate red velvet but oddly enough, the red velvet cupcake is my favorite! I don't think there is a single flavor that I have tried that I did not like. From chocolate on chocolate the chocolate peanut butter to Strawberry to red velvet. read more

Cakes & Pastries by George - These gorgeous cupcakes taste even better than they look! - Bakeries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I've known George for more than 15 years, since the days he baked out of an in home kitchen! He's a kindhearted man and is incredibly talented when it comes to baking. I have never had a dessert quite like his! He is busy and sometimes he is fully booked and cannot take any more orders so make sure to order in advance. My only complaint is that they're closed every year for my birthday month so we can't get a George cake to celebrate. Employees aren't often friendly but I look past that and continue to support George because I know he's a genuinely good person who makes my tastebuds so happy! Oh, cash or check only so come prepared. read more

Extremely poor customer service... Please, Please patroninze a company which appreciates your business and provides the kind of service you deserve. I wish I could provide a photo but George refused to bake a cake for my granddaughter's 13th birthday - I found a much better bakery any way. read more

On a quiet, unassuming storefront across from Robinet in Green Township sits The Greek Baker. George the Baker whips creamy cupcakes and cakes with the perfect texture. He makes great baklava and dips his creation in chocolate. Cookies, cream horns, petite cannoli and meringue are also offered. His cakes are beautiful! I would recommend him for any event; from birthday to wedding to graduation. But I most often come here when I need to bring something for a get together with friends. People love the cupcakes! Today I picked up a few for wine night. I enjoy watching others moaning with delight as they take the first bite. Then they rotate flavors and try more! The double layered cupcakes with cream between the layers is neither too sweet or too dense. This bakery rocks! read more

This bakery is a hidden gem! I ordered a birthday cake for my wife. George was super friendly - both when I called him to place the order and in person when I picked up the cake. He was kind enough to offer some free chocolate samples! I am a huge supporter of local businesses and George did not disappoint me at all! The strawberry chocolate cake was so delicious, super moist and flavorful. Without a doubt, this is going to be my go-to place for future cake orders! read more

George's cakes are THE BEST I've ever had. Bar none! So very happy he's on the westside!!

Delicious cookies and cupcakes! Cupcakes are a work of art !! I'm sure their cakes are amazing!

We used Cakes & Pastried by George for our wedding desserts and he was absolutely phenomenal! We ordered an assortment of cupcakes, cream horns, cannolis, baklava, and mousse cups. His desserts look stunning and they taste even better than they look. At our wedding, people were raving about how good all of the desserts were! We ordered extra desserts to be on the safe side, and there were none left over at the end of the night! George was wonderful to work with during the wedding planning process. We highly recommend him and will be frequenting his bakery for the rest of our lives! read more

I read yelp reviews on this place and wanted to give it a try. They opened at 8:30am on a Saturday. I arrive at 8:25 just as other cars are pulling in with the same idea. I was surprised to be waiting 5th in line to order as the door were unlocked. During COVID they only let 2 customers in at a time while the rest wait outside. It's a very small storefront and figured if this many people are waiting it has to be good. They had 3 people working behind the counter so orders went through quickly. This is a cash only business so no credit cards accepted. I ordered 4 cupcakes, 4 creme horns and tried to place an order for a birthday cake for next week, but they were already booked (it's Labor Day Weekend). She did tell me that I could call in on Thursday to try and reserve a standard store cake...they just were unable to fulfill custom cake orders for the following week. The total was $23 and I think the cupcakes were $4.25ea and the horns $1.25ea. Now for the important part. The creme horns are amazing and a lady in line was so excited to see that they still had them in-stock that I had to try them myself and glad I did. They have like a slight drizzle of honey on top and the pastry and creme filling are the best I've ever tried anywhere. I never knew that a creme horn could even taste this good as they always tend to be kind of boring when bought elsewhere. The cupcakes were also the best I ever tasted. The cake was very moist and fluffy and the topping was light as air. This place is 5-star gem on the westside. I'm guessing you have to get there early as I don't imagine their daily stock lasts very long, but it's worth the early planning or ordering ahead. read more

THE BEST. Seriously, go get some cupcakes, cream horns, or whatever else they have behind the counter. Everything is fresh daily. They sell out of certain things each day, for good reason. We had our wedding cake made by them 6 years ago. They were (and still are) fantastic people and George travels to Greece each year to learn and brush up on his bakery techniques! This place blows every other cupcake and sweets bakery, out of the water, and for $1-$2 cheaper than everywhere else too. . read more

When the generations of old said don't judge a book by it's cover they had good reason to do so. A perfect example of this is George's place, the outside is an old 60's/70's building, it's not run down by any means but it looks old. When you walk inside your nostrils are hit with all kinds of wonderful aromas! You will love the gourmet pastries and cakes prepared by George and his team of patisserie. Enjoy!! I recommend the cream horns and baklava read more
