I love this place! They made the cutest cake for my wife and a very delicious cake for me for our birthdays. We drop in for their breakfast sandwiches and their excellent coffee and I always feel like a friend every time I speak to anyone who works here. read more

Hands down greatest cinnamon roll in the capital region! We recently checked out the new location. The original location is adorable but the new one is much more accessible for a quick pop in. There was still a good selection of items later in the day and the cinnamon rolls easily held up until the next day. They reheat wonderfully! I can't imagine how spectacular they are fresh because even 2 days later they are delicious! The staff are always pleasant no matter the location as well. read more

I recently was able to go try out Leah's, FINALLY! It has taken me a while to get here, but I am so glad that I did. It was super cute inside! They do have tables to sit and eat at. I just wish that they had a few more as they were all occupied. It is a beautiful thing to have homemade pastry! I ordered the cinnamon bun, the eclair, the ham and Swiss roll, and the spanakopita turnover. Everything was delicious! My favorite thing was the eclair! It was by far the best declare that I've ever had in my life! And I just have to brag on it a little bit because the cream inside has real vanilla bean in it! It's not only real cream, but it's made with real vanilla bean! You can both taste it and see it in the cream once you bite into the eclair. This was just pure perfection. The least favorite thing that I had was the ham and Swiss roll. My only complaint about it really was that it was a little dry because it needed more Swiss cheese inside. It was still beautiful and flaky with a everything bagel seasoning on top and the ham was also good. Unfortunately, there was just no discernible cheese. So I missed that gooey melty center that I was looking for. I also ordered a chai latte, which they also sell as a iced latte option. It was super hot and tasted lovely! I told the girl at the register that this was my first time, she welcomed me, she answered all my questions and was super nice and accommodating. They ask you if your order is for here or to go and they offered to heat up your pastry for you either way if you were going to be eating it immediately. I thought this was a super kind and intuitive Service! See this is why I just love supporting local businesses. Many of the ones around here are top-notch and I would much rather support them than big conglomerates, monopolies and chains that don't care about their customers or quality products, they just care about profit. If you love, good pastry, then please come check out Leah's! read more

all from scratch, delicious amazing goods and kinda $$$ ($18 for 4 cinnamon rolls) but as a treat, can't be beat

Wow, wow, wow The best I've ever had and I've had a lot. Tired of sugar being the main flavor in pastries? This is the place for an eclair with the freshest most creamy flavors with good quality chocolate. I also had the flakiest, most buttery biscuit. It was so satisfying it did not need anything else but the pure biscuit. Great ambiance to enjoy the items that you can tell are made with love and attention. Will definitely make it a ritual every time I'm in town. It's a must. read more

Went close to a time they were closing so I didn't get much to eat as they were sold out of most of the pastries. We went with a cup cake and chicken pot pie. They were good and wouldn't say they are the best I have eaten and thereby the 4 stars. Maybe I will have to get their early in the day and may be ill update my review. It's great to see a local business thriving with a good location close to a bike path which takes you to the round lake. read more

Excellent variety of delicious baked goods with outstanding service. Reasonably priced ... order ahead, it's very popular.

If you're looking for a slice of heaven, look no further than Leah's Cakery! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the sweet aroma of fresh-baked goods and the cheerful smiles of the staff. The ambiance is as delightful as the treats--cozy, colorful, and just begging for a photoshoot! I decided to try the signature rainbow cake, and let me tell you, it's like a party in your mouth! Each layer was moist, fluffy, and bursting with flavor, topped with a creamy frosting that made my taste buds dance. I also snagged some adorable cupcakes that were almost too cute to eat--almost! Leah herself was there, and she couldn't have been sweeter! I loved chatting with her about her baking inspirations. She truly pours her heart into everything she makes, and it shows! Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just need a little pick-me-up, Leah's Cakery is the perfect spot. I can't wait to return and try everything on the menu--it all looks so tempting! Highly recommend bringing friends so you can share (and taste) more of these delightful creations! read more

Super disappointed with this bakery. I've been wanting to come here for a long time and I usually can never get there on time (closes early) to stock up for later in the day when my sweet cravings actually kick in. Nonetheless when I found myself in the vicinity of the cakery I had to stop. They were almost closing, duh! They were sold out of most cupcakes so I had very few choices to pick from, I tried the hazelnut cupcake which is possibly what I would have picked even otherwise. I was so excited to take the first bite but to my disappointment it was cold, hard,dry and crumbly. Not what I expected....Such a let down. read more

I've wanted to visit Leah's Cakery for over a year. The Cakery is along the Zim Trail that I run frequently and I often see the Cakery and the long lines that form outside. I never stopped in, but on Saturday after my 5-mile run, I saw the long line and thought why not. I got in line with my music and my headphones and waited. The cakery only allows one person in at a time with a mask on so that contributes to the long line. I was at the end of the line but by the time I got to the door, the line was back to the parking lot again. Once I got in I could see the desserts and pastries to purchase the server was friendly and answered all of my questions. I got a chocolate cupcake with strawberry filling and strawberry cream icing as well as a vanilla cake with ganache filling. I also got a cup of coffee. I typically smell the coffee when I'm out running and was excited to taste it. The desserts were good, but the chocolate cupcake was a bit dry. I'll be back to try some of the other desserts. read more

What an amazing, cozy, and cute spot! I tried their bacon and cheddar scone for the first time today and was so impressed that I went back inside and ordered another one! It was savory and fluffy, with a nice crunch to it. I also had a small iced coffee which was refreshing and recharged me for the rest of my bike ride. A+ location, service, and food/drink! Be sure to pop in next time you're in Round Lake! read more

Leah's made the most unique wedding "cake" of our dreams, a cinnamon bun cake! As soon as we started wedding planning, we knew if Leah's could make this dream possible, it would be perfection. Everyone who is local to the Capital Region knows how incredible Leah's cinnamon buns are, and now our out of town friends and family do too. The tiers were made of mini cinnamon buns with full size buns served for dessert. Extras were enjoyed all weekend! People still talk about our delicious wedding "cake". We can't recommend working with Leah and her team highly enough. Every anniversary we'll be enjoying a fresh cinnamon bun to relive the memories all over! read more

Well, it's taken me five years to get around to visiting Leah's. Please forgive me. Maybe my penance should be weekly visits for the next five years, and say, three cinnamon buns, two éclairs and a box of other assorted pastries. It was James and Amy D.'s reviews that shamed me into making a special trip to visit this lovely bakery. Of course they were not the only ones to rave about the luscious pastries to be found here, virtually every reviewer has given the maximum number of stars. All the tables were occupied with friendly looking people and the display cases were still overflowing with goodies calling out to me. But I was actually on a mission. Cinnamon buns! I enjoy a good cinnamon bun and have been buying them at a competing bakery half as far from my house as Leah's. So two cinnamon buns ($3.50 each) to go was my planned order. It was my lucky day, there were only two left. But with one eye on those buns, my other eye kept getting distracted by scones, cakes, cookies and ultimately an éclair ($3.50). It was too much for me. I've loved éclairs since I was a kid. When the woman at the register asked me if there was anything else, my inner child blurted out, "an éclair, please". I should not forget to mention that the woman at the register also asked me if I'd like to have some extra icing for the tops of the cinnamon buns. I accepted and she filled two small plastic containers of the sugar icing and instructed me to apply it to the center of the buns before I reheated them. That was cool. I've never had another bakery offer me that option. OK, I'm home, I've added the extra icing and heated the cinnamon buns. The first thing I notice is that Leah's dough was thinner than many other bakeries when she rolls them up. This results in more swirls/spirals to each bun with the cinnamon-sugar spread more evenly throughout the spiral. It may not look like a lot of cinnamon-sugar, but the ratio of cinnamon-sugar to dough is almost perfect, and that extra icing on top makes it a killer bun. The filling in the éclair was not like others that I've had. It was not the custard that I grew up on, nor was it like the cream fillings that I usually expect to find in a cream puff. It was white like the cream in a cream puff, but so much tastier and even a better consistency. And the chocolate glaze that topped the éclair had a good semi-sweet flavor. Looks like I'll be starting my penance next week. read more

Thought I had found a place that our omnipresent Community Leader Daniel B. had not yet visited, but lo and behold, he beat me to Leah's Cakery by about a week. Dagnabit!!! Anyway, I'm giving this place 6 stars with a twist! Here's why... Only about a minutes drive east off the Northway via exit 11, Leah's is truly a gem, and not just because it's so easy find! Lots of parking on the side of the building, which looks to be newly re-sided. It's indeed quite small inside with only 4 tables, but don't let that stop you from visiting. Expect staff and even patrons to make you feel ridiculously welcome as soon as you enter. I just couldn't believe how nice and welcoming everyone was even though we'd never been there before and were total strangers. The Outsiders we were. There was no open table once we'd ordered coffee, a heavenly sticky bun, and a taste buds elevating bacon cheddar scone (see my pics), but that didn't matter. Oliver, probably the coolest counter guy ever, came out from behind the counter and hastily with care created a spot for my wife and I to sit. It required some customers to move over a bit and they didn't hesitate as Oliver asked with so much deftness and charm. All the customers were so friendly and talkative to everyone, including my wife and I from the moment we entered. It was like they were adding new members to their own little club. It really made us feel special. If everyone in this world was that nice, well, we'd be living in a much better place. The welcoming alone would probably have won me over as a customer for life, and then we actually stuffed our gut-bellies! We inhaled an amazing sticky bun with honey and pecans (nom nom nom) that Oliver heated for us and portioned into two, as well as the heated scone that had sooo much bacon and cheddar flavor and was so deliriously dense! Coffe was scalding hot and came with free refills of your choice all day. A small coffee is only 2 bucks, the sticky bun was $3.75 and a scone is only $3.00. Items are priced irrationally low (insert cheesy radio commercial voice here), particularly with regard to portion size and quality. Leah is a classicly trained bakery chef and it undoubtedly shows. We brought home some added treats to nosh later and none disappointed. Their muffins are huge and made with fresh fruits, nuts, and real spices...and are exploding with all those same ingredients. They also have gluten free options if that meets your needs. Honestly, they seem like the kind of people that would make you a custom order right then and there upon request if you had a nut or food allergy. The place is rustic and charming in every way, from its customers, policies, prices, employees, and also to its decor. How cool is this? They keep the half and half or milk in the fridge nearby and you just help yourself to it as you need it for your coffee or tea. It makes you feel like you're at home, it really does. WiFi is strong and free (just like 'merica!!!) and they also have a day-old pedestal at the counter that offers everything on it at half price...so you can buy a 1 lb. muffin for like a dollar fifty. Home baked bread is available on Sundays and Wednesdays! I don't remember the last time I felt so welcome to an eatery, but I do know they've won a loyal customer right here. This is the kind of place you should go out of your way to visit. Homemade cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, muffins, quiches, scones, eclairs, soups and on and on...and all are served by some seriously nice people. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. read more

The staff is helpful and welcoming in this warm and comfortable bakery. We opted for the blueberry scone, the apple turnover and the blueberry-rhubarb tart.

Was in town for a friends birthday and had a kind of funny cake decoration request. Flavor options were plentiful and the cake ended up ridiculously delicious. We made a custom cake of almond cake, raspberry filling, and chocolate frosting -- an attempt at a rainbow cookie cake -- and it seriously delivered, it tasted just like the cookies. Our friend loves some good memes so we got her a hand drawn meme cake :) Other than the cake their traditional iced coffee with their vanilla simple syrup is awesome, and I'm waiting for my boyfriend to help me try the grab bags of cookies I bought for us. read more

Whenever Earth, Wind & Fire's September comes on the radio, I can't help breaking into song. As fate would have it, this 70s classic was playing while I was driving through a Malta roundabout, and as I result I totally made a wrong turn. Lo an behold, I stumbled onto Leah's Cakery. This was a place I had heard about but never visited. Clearly the Universe was trying to send me a message. When the Universe speaks, it's wise to answer. So I pulled into the parking lot and decided to check out their offerings for a light lunch. On a Saturday afternoon, this place was packed with locals, and my daughter and I were lucky to get a table. Everything looked so good. While there are some savories, for the most part the bakery specializes in sweets. But they do make their own bread, so I was compelled to get the sandwich of the day which was chicken salad with walnuts and cranberries. My daughter is a meat lover, so I thought she would enjoy the bacon quiche even though she's never had this classic French egg custard before. It was a big hit. My only wish is that they would use something other than a microwave to warm up the quiche. The crust wasn't too damaged from being nuked, but I would have preferred it room temperature rather than having it subjected to the microwave. Of course, my first choice would have been a gentle warming in a toaster oven. I'm always happy to wait for better outcomes. I didn't look at the prices when we were ordering, but somehow this lunch for two came to just over six dollars. The value is amazing. It took a ton of restraint to walk out without any sweets, but my daughter was off to a birthday party where there would be cake, and the house was already stocked with treats. I desperately wanted to bring home a loaf of Leah's bread, but most likely I would be the only one eating it, and I'm trying to behave myself. We did get to look at some of the cakes, and I did a little mental calculation about whose birthday was coming up next, and how soon I could return for a cake order. I can't wait. But patience will have to prevail. read more

Did a long run on the Zim Smith trail last weekend (which conveniently shares a parking lot with Leah's cakery) & opted to refuel with cinnamon buns. Leah's is quaint and the staff are polite. It had a feeling of "home" to it. The cinnamon buns from Leah's were some of the best I've ever had! My only regret is that I bought three, which means my boyfriend and I fought over the last one. I can't wait to go back and get more! read more

Great people, delicious food and right off of the Zim Smith trail. Well worth a visit.

It's a cute little bakery serving affordable and yummy sweet treats. A whole cake that serves 7-8 is a very affordable price of $25. We got the carrot cake. It's moist, mixed with crunchy pecans and carrots and iced with cream cheese frosting. My only feedback is the cream cheese frosting is too sweet for my taste. The sticky bun is $4 ish, and is big enough for 2 people. It's a perfect breakfast pastry that goes well with coffee. We love the little garden at the side of the bakery where we can enjoy the treats on a nice day. read more

I stopped in here while on a walk with friends. It was my first time exploring some of what the town of Round Lake had to offer. The place was small and cozy, with what looked like patio seating outside (for warmer days) and a back room with more indoor seating. Lots of bakery options, including a wide assortment of holiday treats. I was disappointed in the gingerbread cupcake- it had good flavor and the cream cheese frosting was really tasty, but the texture of the cupcake was dense and heavy. The cookies, on the other hand, were very good. The chocolate crinkle cookies had a bit of an odd aftertaste, perhaps due to not using a very sweet chocolate. The lemon crinkle were really good. My favorite were the linzer, which were recommended by one of the staff there. The cookie had a nice snap to it and the jam filling was just sweet enough. I'd go back for more cookies, but I'd skip the cupcakes. Next time I might try something more on the savory end. read more

Leah's Cakery is an amazing bakery. They have a great selection of pastries.During the winter the heat of the ovens keeps the place comfortably warm. The cool breeze during the summer season creates an enjoyable environment. There are different seasonal treats throughout the year such as Irish soda bread. The bakery is staffed by great, welcoming people who can easily answer any of your questions. Parking: About 20 cars but the village of round lake has plenty of parking nearby. read more

The best homemade baked goods in the area! Staff are friendly and welcoming, even when there is a line out the door. Since it is a small privately owned business, they don't mass produce their product. So, they will inevitably run out of items- good for them! I've had several different things, and all are delicious. The huge oatmeal cookie is the best- thick but not dry, with a delightfully crunchy outside and it is full of raisin and nuts. The Zim bar is not your usual protein mix bar. It's delicious but not overly sweet, and very filling. (You need to break it in half). If you eat inside you will be treated to a small, quaint , space decorated with vintage items. Leah's is a fun place to catch up with friends for coffee and a treat. Let's support local businesses like Leah's. You won't be disappointed. read more
