I have to admit, walking into the location gives me sensory confusion. On one hand, you smell meat. On the other hand, you smell sweets. It is what they say it is. It is just funny to experience it. The folks are always kind and efficient there and I've only ever gotten their donuts, so that is all I can speak for. I must say, they are pretty epic in the best way. I typically eat pretty clean, but about my treats, Leaches is always worth it. Strong recommend from me. read more

Have always had an exceptional experience whenever I have given my patronage, and made my purchase at their venue! My main objective was for freshly ground chuck in quantity to make up meat loaf, and for stuffed peppers. read more

Stopped here on the recommendation of others and so glad I did! Bought some paczki, fresh homemade lunch meat, and freshly made rolls. Yummy!!!!! For the lunch meat, I bought the homemade roast beef. So good! Very tender! Delicious and tasted great on their rolls. It was sliced to order so I was able to get it thin for the sandwiches. Really enjoyed the paczki too. Perfect balance of filling to the donut. Excellent customer service too! Very helpful and friendly staff. Looking forward to visiting here again very soon as there are many wonderful food items and meat selections here. Want to try more items! read more

They lost a customer today. I was at the bakery today wednesday July 23. A lady in front of me was ordering a birthday cake for her son as she was chasing him around the store. I was waiting my turn. I was completely ignore. Not I will be with you shortly. The bakery lady could of ask the other worker to wait on me but no. The cashier watch me walk out. They lost a sale and a customer that will not be going back. read more

This review is only for the bakery. I have not had any of their meats or donuts but I had to write this review right away. In addition, I did not physically enter this store because my work team ordered a cake and picked it up. CAKE -- My team surprised me today (26 March 2019) with a round marble cake for me as part of my going away present of my final days working in Akron. The MARBLE CAKE was delicious!!!! It is a vanilla cake with some streaks of chocolate cake inside too. The cake was very rich and moist. It tasted so good. The icing was very sweet as most icings are but it was beautifully decorated in a spring flower pattern. After everyone had some cake, there was a final piece left which I was going to take home. I ended up eating the cake as I was leaving work...haha. I should have put the cake in the fridge after lunch because by the end of the day, it became a bit stale - this goes to show how fresh the cake was. Overall, I would highly recommend the marble cake. *** - 49 total reviews in 2019 - 258 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 26 March 2019 read more

There are a couple of butcher shops that we've tried, but none compare to this one!! I loved the meat we got, and the fresh turkey, too. Great meat, chicken, and baked goods!! We loved it, thank you much! read more

This place right here!! THE ABSOLUTE BEST donut place around!! If you are in the Norton, Barberton, Wadsworth, Copley area you have GOT to stop in, If not its also worth the drive!! I've been going here since I was a little girl. Such a cute bakery vibe & absolutely outstanding donuts & sweets. My favorite being the Maple Creamsticks!! The apple fritters and cinnamon rolls are a close second! 5 star donuts all the way!!! My husband is also a huge fan of their pulled pork meat & potato salad!! read more

We went here a few weeks ago and got the most amazing subs for $5.99. These subs had tons of meat and decent amount of veggies on it. A great sub at a great price. So we went back today to buy more subs and the price went up to $7.50. No biggie for a sub that awesome, but now they have half the meat and veggies. It was such a disappointment. What a bait and switch. Won't be going there again. read more

This place is so unique. A great bakery, super prepared foods and the meat department is good, not great but good and the convenience of picking up a variety of goods in one spot makes up for it. People are friendly but fair warning, don't let the cashier color your opinion of the place. She is super unfriendly but that's how she rolls. Just ignore-the rest of it is worth it. read more

You can always trust the quality of products at Leach's and their customer service is beyond what you'd expect. During these times when you can't always be guaranteed to get what you need at the grocery store, it's comforting to know you can count on the folks at Leach's to keep the products you want in stock. Thank you! read more

I thought it would be odd for a place to sell meat and donuts and, yeah, it kinda is. Especially since I went into the wrong door to go inside the place, which wasn't a good sign. I walked inside and saw a bunch of meat right in the front and to the side was all the donuts. I walked over and looked at the donuts, and was given a cold reception by, what I thought was their cashier. I ordered a blueberry donut, a maple glazed cream filled long john, and a sprinkled vanilla glaze. I went to the actual cashier who was at the front of the store after being given the donuts and was given another cold reception. After paying for the donuts, I left feeling like they need to improve their customer service, because I wasn't excited about these donuts a lick. I'm not gonna go on about the donuts because they're just ok, nothing great, but nothing bad. It's just the customer service was extremely lacking and needed work. read more

I purchased a pepperoni bread from a store that sells this bakery's items , it was the worst version of a pepperoni bread I've ever seen, maybe 10 thin slices of pepperoni in the whole loaf, what a horrible product. Would never recommend this bakery, Never again!!!??? read more

Leach's is a Barberton staple. They have everything you are looking for. This family has been supplying our community with freshly baked bread my family can't get enough of as well and fresh meats. Would recommend visiting to everyone. read more

i was so excited to pick up my birthday cake i ordered from here and i was very upset when i saw it. it appeared as if it was done by a beginner baker. the icing was splotchy and uneven, the piping was poorly done, the colors were nothing like the reference picture, they put an entirely different species of palm tree on it, and left a gigantic piece of empty space on it. i feel very sad because i cannot get another cake and it is so ugly that im embarrassed to even use the cake at the party. Please save yourself the disappointment and try another bakery if you want a specific cake. read more

Is it a meat shop? Is it a bakery? Why, it's BOTH! Yah, freaky. But I have to say, I'm a fan. I believe the meats are primarily Hungarian in nature. Bought some Kielbasa and Cheddarwurst. I really liked the Cheddarwurst. The Kilebasa was OK. Not quite mind-blowing, but good. I ended up buying a pound of both. The man behind the counter was quick to give us a (heated) sample. Free samples are always awesome! From the bakery area, we got some Kolachki's. This Polish girl gives her seal of approval. I've had many a Kolachki in my life and these were pretty good! read more

This is oou go to shop. The bakery is better than any bakery ive ever been to. The selection of deli items is huge. The meats are cut perfectly and you get only what you want and the problem for me is that i want it all. I plan my meals around my purchases at Leachs. The folks behind the counters seem to have endless smiles but the cashiers are opposìte ..i would but 4.5 option because of that but no half option available so i try to buy my items without eye contact or conversation. I wont stop shopping there because of cashiers. It might just be a personal thing. I recomend Leachs for general grocery shopping but the meat market portion and bakery are my all time fav go to depts. read more

So lucky to have such a wonderful meat, deli and bakery all in one so close. Everyone loves Leach's. And, what's not to love? Bakery items are top notch. Their sub is a great deal and really yummy. The selection of quality meats is exceptional. Their catering is well done. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was do to their hours of operation. They close early for those that work. Making it in during the week can be tricky. read more

This is a small shop in a small town and, as such, has its groupies for whom it's a status symbol and a point of pride to say "it's from Leach's." The prices are as high, which adds to the cache. The quality is good, but pork is pork and beef is beef, and all I got for the extra $ was bragging rights. The service is terrible, unless you're a regular, they will actually ignore people and wait them out. The baked goods are fine, but you have to order ahead. read more

Yesterday my husband and I found this awesome butcher shop? Meat market? I'm not sure what it's technical name would be! Friendly staff! They have baked goods, such as pies and cookies, etc. some behind the case and some packaged, priced and ready to go! The pies were HEAVY! Some items like condiments and such! Candy, nuts, a refrigerated section with dips, cheeses, fresh veggies... and the meat counter! Take a number! They had pork, beef and chicken, in many forms! Chicken breast stuffed, pork chops stuffed, sirloin steaks marinated... and lord did those get my attention! One was a sweet marinade and one garlic butter herb! They range in sized so they can hand pick the exact one you're looking for! I'm not eating sugars and starches so my hubs tried the sweet marinaded sirloin and I tried the butter garlic herb! Both steaks were gorgeous! Well priced, PS... no extra charge for the aged marinated sirloins :))))). We tried a ghost pepper cheese... they do have hot cheese and awesome description of just how hot!!! Yikes! Will be back for all my meats, yes... it's that good! read more

Best donuts! Meats! Cakes! You name it! I absolutely love this place and I have been going for years ever since i was a little girl!

Normally I'm a fan of this place, not today. I bought a bunch of the boneless skinless chicken breasts they had on sale and was sorely disappointed. It wasn't the fact that the breasts hadn't been split...I have a knife. Nor was it their enormous size, truly the largest I've ever seen...obviously the product of steroids, antibiotics and old old chickens and the like, I figured it would just save me trying to score some 'roids at the gym. It was the fact that they had enormous amounts of fat attached to them. At LEAST 20% of what I bought was scrap fat that required two knives and kitchen shears and about an hour to remove. Stick to red meat here, that they do well. Chicken, buy anywhere else, there's no way this was butchered here and it showed. read more

I had high hopes of this being like a New York style deli. I read the reviews and thought I would try it. Good Greif!! Talk about dirty and outdated! The smell of beef blood hits you when you walk in. Dirty floors, cases and tables. I stood at the meat counter and looked in the back. I wouldn't buy a beef bone for my dog there! Absolutely filthy. I then went to the bakery counter and someone was talking with the door to the actual bakery open. OMG... I don't think that place has been cleaned since it opened. How do they pass health inspections? read more

My company ordered several hundred Leach's donuts for a morning meeting and they were absolutely perfect! I could tell they were freshly made and each one made with care. I don't know how they did it but I'm glad they did! read more

Wonderful family owned business. They have a variety of products to choose from including cookies, donuts, meats, potato salad, Mac n cheese, milk, etc! They cater for events and offer daily meals for purchase! Visit Leach's if you're in the area! read more

I forgot to write a review last year, so here it is. Stopped in for Christmas dinner, a whole prime rib and a semiboneless ham. OMG!!! I loved ham and it was the best ever. Such great flavor and quality, was second to none. The beef was good too, but I like pig. The family loves this place, great prices and great quality. We recommend it to all. read more

The only steaks I will eat!! Also, the only place my family of 6 gets our birthday cakes from! The raspberry filling is to die for!! Highly recommend this market. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, too :) Love the Leachs!!! read more

Porterhouse and a Cowboy Ribeye? Oh yes! Turns an ordinary Thursday night into instant date night. Dessert? Two powdered sugar cream sticks. Freaky good. John's the best around. The team at this Barberton landmark is rightfully proud of what they offer in the way of product quality AND service. Off the hook, on BOTH counts. read more

Love the meat here and baked goods! The people who work here are extremely nice too,very helpful Even joke a little read more

My 20 year old son stood there for quite awhile trying to return the board for the sub. No other customers in the shop. He also did not get the 10.00 back. I personally quit going, because I purchased smelly chicken and didn't know it until I was home. I pitched it and chaulked it up to my loss. read more

I frequent Leach's for a reason! After my wedding cake came out both beautiful and superbly delicious, I became quite the fan. Their cakes are fabulous - try the raspberry filling and you won't be sorry. I often pick up donuts or brownies for church functions and they never disappoint. Likewise, their meats are excellently cut, fresh and never fatty. You can certainly tell the difference in flavor and freshness versus chain grocery meats. The staff is kind and quick to wait on you even on busy days, and they are a great resource for that last minute forgotten gallon of milk or sour cream as opposed to a convenience store. read more

Recently I phone ordered a ham for Easter. I called in the order on a Monday morning to be picked up that Saturday. When I went to pick it up they had no slip that I had called. No big deal until a rather rude employee said to another employee maybe they're just saying they called in the order. I don't appreciate the insinuation that I'm a liar. I had proof on my phone as to when I called if they needed it. We went here often. Due to this women's rudeness we won't be back. read more

If you are in a good mood and wish to stay that way, avoid Leach's Meats and Sweets. When my Golden Buckeye card was refused after being told the store accepted this card, I had no choice but to walk out. It was the last straw. The first straw started when I entered the store and picked out the bakery. I refused to let the moods of the staff ruin my great day, so I got my bakery and went to the meat dept after taking my number. The woman helping me was great so I was back on track. I came for dinner supplies but picked out impulse items causing me to put items on counter. I think my issue with the check out person was that she was already in a horrible mood but I was happy with what I picked out. I was promptly told the store no longer takes the BELLY card so I pulled up golden buckeye on my phone. Denied. This isn't the first time the employees displayed unhappiness but it was the first time that I couldn't take it. I left without my purchase. The bakery is good but you can buy any of their items within a short drive. The meat is meat, another item puchasable locally. The store ain't dirty but it could be cleaner. Parking is good but if turning northbound, it could be a challenge to pull out onto the road. I won't be returning since the only redeeming feature I've found was location. read more
