I found Veriella's and sent them a few photos of what I wanted and they gave me quotes that were significantly cheaper than other similar bakeries in the area. For a 25-person cake, they said the lead time would be about two weeks. They have several cake flavors/fillings to choose from (some cost extra) and we went with a lemon cake with blueberry filling. It was such a good combination - everybody loved it and the cake came out on point to the picture I sent them. Communication was easy (via email). We actually ended up going into the bakery the day before pick-up because we decided to do some last-minute party favors with some Italian cookies. We got a bunch of rainbow cookies, sprinkle cookies, and a raspberry filled one. Unfortunately, these missed the mark. They tasted old and I'm pretty sure they order them from elsewhere because of the cardboard trays/plastic wrap they were wrapped in. I wouldn't come back for these but the next time I need another custom cake, I would definitely order from them again.

Everyone was impressed with the pastry so we decided to go back and order cupcakes for my daughter's baby shower. She chose funfetti cupcakes and what made them absolutely perfect was the way they designed the cupcakes to fit the theme.- "A little honey is on the way" . My daughter sent several photos and was quite surprised when they made some in every design. They even made some gluten free. They were absolutely delicious and quite the hit. Everyone was asking where we got them. Veriella's! I highly recommend this amazing bakery. The bake goods are delicious and the owners are delightful and accommodating.

The service was friendly, and the cafe itself was clean, bright, and visually appealing. There are only a few seats inside, so I recommend grabbing the window seat. Parking is not too bad, although on a busy day you may have to walk a little. I am looking forward to coming back and trying some of the baked goods. Overall, Aroma D Cafe is a cute spot. First date worthy.

Her customer service is exceptional, and it's one of the reasons I keep coming back to Palermo's year after year.

I love their coffee. I love their breakfast pastry (LOVE), their blueberry cinnamon rolls, the chocolate puffs-- everything. Anytime I'm like, am I going to spend $40 again, I hesitate, and then I eat everything and it was worth every single cent. Thank you for existing! Stuffing my face with Erie goods as I type.

Still thinking about that cinnamon roll... I loved the tangy, tart cream cheese icing as opposed to…read moresugary icing. But all the sweet treats sounded so delightful it's hard to just pick one! There's some indoor seating at the bar but most people take out or eat on the outdoor tables. It can get busy but the line moves fast, as there are locals who know exactly what they want. The menu only shows drinks so definitely ask what desserts and pastries they have available.

I pass this bakery often when I take my son to his activities and I told myself the next time…read morethere's good parking in front, I'll go in. Well there is a row of street parking infront and across the street, but they're usually full and with a baby I was being very selective as to which spot I'll accept before venturing in. Luckily, the third time I passed, a spot opened up right in front. They had run out of baklava by 4pm that Thursday, I got a pistachio ball and cream puff instead. The pistachio ball was a little dry (I think it's suppose to be?) It wasn't for me. The cream puff on the other hand was delicious! The shell was nice and a little crispy and the cream had the perfect consistency, just gooey enough. It's not overly creamy/fluffy, it's a little more custardy side which I liked.

I don't know that you could get a true idea of Varrelmann's based on my 1 purchase of a blueberry…read morescone, but here is my review. The shop was quiet on a Sunday morning. My initial thought was that there were not many German style pastries/food like I imagined there might be (cannolis were the 1st item I saw when entering). I chose a blueberry scone to share (the price was steep at $4.50 - it would have been $1 more if I would have paid with a credit card). I the scone was slightly burnt underneath and lacked any real flavor, even the blueberries oddly had almost no flavor. I was excited to visit a German bakery but was left a little underwhelmed.

As an Italian American, I truly appreciate their fresh cannolis filled to order--a creamy dream come true. Everything on display was tempting, and the blend of Peruvian pastries with Italian favorites was a culinary duet that hit all the right notes. The staff were incredibly friendly, adding to the experience. If you're in need of a little pastry therapy, this is the spot. Remember, a balanced diet is having a pastry in each hand.
