Disappointed that my cannoli was stale (soft) should be made when ordered.................................

Beautiful people fresh and delicious bakery goods, I waited a few more minutes and was blessed with a freshly made cake

FAB YOU LUSS!!!! Ok, my phonetic attempt may gave failed so in plain English -Fabulous. I've been an at least yearly customer to Maria's since they were located on State Street in Media,PA and I've been coming to this location they moved to over 20 years ago equally as often. Honestly, since the formerly great unnamed bakery in the middle of Delaware County that I used to frequent has slid downhill I have become a more frequent visitor to Maria's Prime Time bakery. Donuts are always fresh. Cookies too and both are great. The breads I've tried reminded me of my great grandmother's homemade West Philly breads. I've had their cakes, Both layer and various sized sheetcakes for parties. All have been tasty, sweet and satisfying. The premises are clean and there are always enough staff to help. And that's a good thing because this place can get mobbed at times because it's good. Don't hesitate to place your trust in Maria's in ordering bakery items for that special event. You will be happy. We will be back. read more

I recently was in need of a chocolate cake very last minute and Maria's came through! I tried to make a birthday cake for my Grandson's 10th birthday and failed . Everyone was depending on me . well I bought a cake at Maria's (Already made) and the cake was delicious ! read more

I couldn't find bear claws anywhere in Delco. I happened to go into Maria's and saw them! I haven't had them in years. Wow!!! I also bought the apple and the mixed berry puff pastry turnovers. They were all huge. You can't eat a whole one. Sorry no pic because we ate them all. Thank you to this bakery for having actual pastries!! I expected to pay so much more. They are definitely underpriced! read more

Maria's Bakery - The best jelly filled donut I had in a long time! - Bakeries Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

I've driven by this place many times and finally decided to stop in. I'm glad I did, the girl working out front was very helpful and patient with me. The inside isn't much to look at, but what they have in the cases looked great! There were a lot of goodies to choose from, but I kept it simple. I went with double chocolate, chocolate chip and Reese's pieces cookies, brownies, peanut butter brownies, chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and a large Bavarian pretzel shaped treat that tasted like black cherry chocolate heaven. Everything was delicious. The chocolate chip cookies were amazing, if you like the mini Entenmann's soft chocolate chip cookies you'll devour these. The pretzel shaped treat was soft, flaky and had great flavors. The brownie was very rich, chocolaty and soft, the PB brownie was a little dry, but had decent flavors. The doughnut selection was pretty much gone by 1pm, but the girl said if you call a day before they can make an order for you to pick up the next day. My co-workers and kid really appreciated the treats from here and I was hooked on those chocolate chip cookies. I'll definitely be back! read more

Friendly employees. All of the baked goods are delicious, you can't go wrong with anything you see.

I decided to try Maria's Prime Time Bakery instead of going to Traub's like I usually do and I came out highly disappointed. I placed an order over the phone at 7am on October 17, 2022 for a triple chocolate cake with happy birthday mike written on it to pick up on November 4, 2022 (his birthday). I was told they need a deposit and prefer it in cash, so I went the same day as I placed the order around 4pm to give a cash deposit and I wound up just paying in full for the cake. Fast forward to today, November 4, my pick up date. I get there and give them my name and they can not find my cake or my order form. They take about 20 minutes to look for my order and cake, asked my name about 3 times and asked if it could be under another name. After about a half hour, they say they can't find my cake or order form. They offer me a chocolate on chocolate cake that was sitting in the refrigerator for another customer to pick up tomorrow. I said this is okay because I don't want to go home on his birthday empty handed, they quickly write happy birthday mike on it in sloppy, ugly, thick letters and do not decorate it after i ordered it decorated AND ordered a triple chocolate cake not chocolate on chocolate. They asked to see my receipt as they are looking to see who rung up the order on their register. As they're looking at the receipt, they mention that I was overcharged and are not sure where the cashier got the number from. So not only is my cake that I ordered not there, I was also highly overcharged for the cake I ordered. Well the icing on the cake (pun intended) is they then charged me FULL PRICE for the cake that they just took from another customer to give me after LOSING my order. I ended up paying the difference between the other customers cake that I was given and the cake that I order and was LOST. To me, that is horrible customer service that I was not offered a discount for my time, trouble and going home with a completely different cake that I hope he even likes with sloppy writing. In my opinion, the cake should've been free as you LOST MY ORDER and gave me a cake that was sitting in the fridge for a pick up tomorrow and didn't even match what I ordered. I will stick to going to Traub's and some advice for the business is you don't keep customers by just apologizing for losing their order and giving them a cake made for someone else that doesn't match their order, the cake really should've been free. read more

Maria's Bakery - horrible chunky, sloppy writing on a chocolate - chocolate cake when I ordered a triple chocolate and was still charged FULL price. - Bakeries Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

We got an apple pie here, and when I say it was nothing like I've ever had before, I truly mean it. Upon opening the box and sniffing the pie, I could identify, VERY STRONGLY, the scent of donuts. Yes, donuts. The pie smelled like a vanilla cream donut, but it was packed with apples. It was really delicious, but I have to deduct one star simply because I could absolutely feel myself getting fatter and fatter and fatter with every bite. In order to make this stuff so good they must have to put pounds of lard and butter and sugar into their recipes. I know you go to a bakery to indulge, and that we did, but I have so much guilt over eating that pie it's pretty insane. I'll be back again when I'm feeling in a gluttonous mood. read more

It is always hit or miss with Maria's. Cakes are a 50/50 proposition and so are the majority of baked goods. You are just as likely to bring home dry cupcakes and pastries as fresh one. The exception would be the donuts, which are always on point because they make so few of them in relation to demand. I appreciate the counter staff, who try their best to be pleasant in tight quarters. They bump into each other frequently on busy mornings while working in a narrow galley. Some are still masking and the store has a policy of three customers max inside the store. I respect their choice but it seems to irritate a lot of their clientele. I have been a customer since the Cake Box days but can't say I' will be back unless I'm in a bind. I will miss the donuts but now that they are $24 a dozen, there is no way to justify the calories. read more

Unfortunately I will never spend another single penny of my hard earned money in this local buisness since they have decided to force customers to wear a mask, although other businesses are not at this time. I had a very interesting experience with the staff this Easter weekend picking up an order my girlfriend placed and pre paid this week. If it was my order I would have taken a refund went on my way. Upon pulling in the parking lot I noticed about 10 people standing outside waiting to enter. The line was formed due to their rule of only allowing 3 customers at a time to enter. This was stated on the door along with another sign that stated that masks were mandatory with no exceptions. There was also a third posting of a note to the customers from the owner stating that this is what they are doing at this time, and if your children are under 5 they are permitted to enter & they do not have to wear a face covering. The children under 5 is what got me. During my at least 20min wait there were at least 3 children permitted in. None wearing masks. I have nothing at all against children. I have kids & spoil my nieces and nephews. If you want to require masks then EVERYONE "remember no exceptions" should be wearing one. The problem I see is discrimination against people who can not or choose not to wear a face mask for whatever reason that is not anyone else's buisness other than their own period. When my time came to enter I was swiftly greeted with a do you have a face mask. I responded that I did in my vehicle, and a second employee chimed in to offer me a mask from their supply.  I swiftly declined. I told them I not going to wear a face mask. I was picking up an order for my girlfriend, & I would like to add to it as well. I was told without the face covering I would have to do buisness outside. I decided to decline on spending a penny more than we already did at this point, gave them the name on the order, & told them I would wait outside for what was paid for & I would spend my hard earned money elsewhere. I manage a local small buisness that has been open every day for the last 2 years & I refuse to treat my customers this way. I work hard for my money, so does my girlfriend, as does everyone else. With that being said I would hope that with 2 years into this mess of covid that people would have the common sense and knowledge of what to do and how to do it. I did receive our bread. I was respectfully vocal in my decision. I politely wished everyone inside & outside a Happy Easter & let everyone know I was going to try Traubs to see if I was going to be forced to wear a face covering to enter. I even got a thumbs up from a older couple at the back of the line along with happy holiday wishes from everyone Because of your decision to force anyone over the age of 5 to wear a mask, Traubs who is Smile Friendly and Polite as always, got my buisness. I Support local businesses that do not discriminate & force you to wear a mask to enter and do buisness. Shout out to the thumbs up gentlemen and his wife that followed me to Traubs! read more

After living in South Philly most of my life, I thought I would have been disappointed with the bakeries in Delaware County. When I first went to Maria's, they were immediately friendly and outgoing. Everything I ever ordered from Maria's bakery was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly. The food is good and you always get a friendly service with a smile. I am so glad that I live down the street from the bakery especially when I am entertaining at my house and I need dessert. read more

I want to say that I really want to give more stars except for a few things that take away from this business and that is when I walked in n the service wasn't the greatest! The girl who did wait on me seemed to warm up and be really nice. But everyone eLse looked annoyed like they were having a bad day. The cookies are great! I walked in a and got a cake for my daughters birthday I trusted that it read "Happy Birthday Marissa"to my surprise when I got to the restaurant and the cake caMe out I believe it read Marian! I didnt want to say anything but I thought it would help future customers to not have this issue as. Also there wasn't manny strawberries at all! But the cake was really good and fresh. Beside that I really liked the bakery!! read more

I have driven past Maria's many times but finally stopped inside and am I ever glad that I did! The butter cake, strawberry shortcakes (we got a mini size for $4.25 in the refrigerated case) and cookies are all delicious. The service from the 2 young ladies was great, too. I would definitely order a birthday or wedding cake from here if I were local to this area. Yes, it's more expensive than Acme - but way better quality. So good. Love Maria's! read more

Apparently I should have ordered a danish with NO HAIR in it. Gross. Done. In addition, completely overpriced.

Very unpleasant experience. We were recommended to our wedding venue to check out this bakery( it was one of the bakeries we could choose from for our wedding cake). We made the appointment 3 MONTHS ahead of time ( in November) and when I called THEM the day before ( in February) because I had not heard from them, I called to confirm( we lived over an hour from our wedding venue). After being shifted to various people on the phone because they didn't remember the appointment , I was told they would call me back. When the owner or wedding baker called me back, she was extremely rude and after the way she spoke with me, it was obvious that this is NOT someone who is willing to make sure we have a great wedding experience. I HIGHLY recommend The Masters Baker in West Chester for your wedding cake needs. read more

I've tried multiple bakeries in Delco and this one is my fav. The split cream donuts are some of the best I've ever had and their other pastries are always on point. They even offer a free cookie to my young son when we go in which always makes him smile. If you're looking for a good pastry or cake, I highly recommend this place! read more

Shame that this place has dropped so much with the new owners. Too many employees have left. And, why at 11 AM on a Sunday morning would you be out of donuts? read more

I grew up with a bakery within a block of my school and there always kids in there. This place brought back memories for me. I got a cinnamon bun, elephants ears, and cookies. The cookies were the most memorable. Also most memorable was the price. A little steep, but quality is present in these tasty treats. When I crave those cookies again, I will be coming back. read more

Lousy bakery they need to stock more doughnuts theres always out of stock at 10am thats too early to run out people want them all day. Also the cupcakes i bought were stale last straw. Wont be back read more

I was so disappointed after stopping in the bakery today. The prices were high, choices were very basic, I could tell they are not moving product. One chocolate pie, some eclairs, cut up strawberry shortcake slices in the frig. The cookies were very odd looking, different sizes and shapes, the ones for $10 bucks per pound looked like a hot mess, jelly everywhere! The cupcakes I bought were dry and they ranged in sizes. Some were simply overbaked with a little icing and some smaller with more icing. They were "decorated" so haphazardly I would think a teenager made them. This is not the first time I was really unhappy and shocked at what used to be a great bakery. I thought the new owner needed some time...but time is not helping. There is little product to choose from, that is decorated in a messy way, and the prices are ridiculous for what your getting. read more

I ordered a cake for my boyfriend's birthday. It was a specialty cake with a tattoo design. I sent the cake designer, Crystal a picture of what I was looking for with some changes. The cake she made far exceeded my expectations! The cake was delicious and the design was simply put: badass! Thank you for making his birthday that much better! read more

Maria's Bakery - Tattoo birthday cake - Bakeries Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

See all

Either I don't like Italian Rum cake, or this place makes the most disgusting cake ever. You know how a fresh cake is suppose to be moist and tasty? Well, this cake was TOO moist and it was mushy. DISGUSTING! I don't even want to get started on the cake's filling... If my dog REFUSED to eat it, then it says a lot because he's not a picky eater. I'm being VERY GENEROUS giving this place a star, because if I had a choice, I would give it ZERO stars. Recommendation: Save your hard-earned money, and stay away from this place! read more

I had my son's first birthday cake here. It was very cute...two tiers with the alphabet letters around it and an Elmo sitting between the tiers, which was made of icing. The cake tasted just like their cupcakes. I paid arounbd $70 for the cake. I will post a picture read more

Maria's Bakery - First Birthday cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

They are terrible brownie did not taste like a brownie ,the almond half ring tasted like cleaning solution

this is the right place for baked goods in the area. not inexpensive, but quality. they are great for birthdays, weddings and special order. they have it all from canolis to cakes. you can order anything from them. they will do it. for gift orders, excellent. they will write anything you want on a cake (within reason). they have many kinds of cookies and specialty items. you really have to stop in to appreciate how professional and great they are. again, its not the cheapest. if you want a cheap cake, go to the Acme. but if you want quality, freshness and made to order goodnesd, this is your place. its old school, pre google baking. the way your grandma did it. read more

Went to the bakery right in the morning to make sure what I wanted would be nice and fresh! Everything looked pretty good... I decided on an almond paste half ring... when I left and got home.. I realized it was hard as a BRICK... even the middle was not soft... heating it up didn't solve the problem.. do not recommend that one.. incredibly disappointed.. read more

Maria's Bakery - Was highly disappointed in this... hard as a brick (even the inside) - Bakeries Near Me - Prospect Park, Pennsylvania

I stopped in to Maria's to get some chocolaty goodness for my boyfriend's birthday. I have to say that I really appreciate a bakery that's open later in the day so I can go after work (open until 8 pm Monday - Saturday). The woman who helped me was extremely helpful and friendly, especially because I wanted chocolate things that were nut-free due to an allergy. I ended up with a some cannolis, two cupcakes, and a pastry shell that was filled with some sort of chocolate cake. Everything I got was tasty and extremely reasonable in price. And thank you for filling the cannolis while I waited! That's the way you do it! I'll definitely be back in the future! read more

Most definitely a FAN of the Apple fritters. I'm a Old-fashioned APPLE dessert fanatic, and I got turned on to Maria's one day while working at this Health Insurance Co. in the city. The supervisor brought them in along w/ other pastries (white powdered donuts w/ cream, etc) and at first I wasn't going to try them.....generally I don't do pastries for morning snack ;-) Then she yelled out, "Make sure you try the Apple fritters before they are all gone".....my mouth watered, and I said "Oooh apple fritters" LOL. So she got me and so did the apple fritter, soft and moist w/ a touch of glaze covering it w/ small apple bits inside. I'm quivering inside, it was SOOOO good!!! Glad I tried it, and I had to ask her where she got them from and she turned me on. YAY!!! So now I share w/ large groups of friends, in my Dance and Nursing community and they LOVE me for it. Hope you enjoy :-) read more

My hubby got my birthday cake from here. It was AMAZING! It was a marble cake with chocolate frosting. I will definitely come back for all my cake needs :) read more

Maria's doughnuts are hands down the best. The cream doughnuts are addicting and the jelly doughnuts use real jelly not the pasty fake junk. They are always fresh and reasonably priced (cheaper than those fake DD doughnuts). I would 100% recommend this bakery for doughnuts. I would also recommend their chocolate chocolate cake. I have had people from Rhode Island and New Jersey request the cake when i travel out that way. You will not be disappointed! read more

My friend retired so I haven't gotten my Marias doughnuts for a while. Since I was in the area last weekend I had to stop and they did not disappoint. The white cream filled doughnuts are still amazing. The girl that helped me was wonderful and I will be returning. read more

Called to place an order. Got put on hold for five minutes!! When they came back to the phone, no one said hello - they just hung up the phone! I called back and it rang and rang until voice mail kicked in. Probably a weird circumstance but I can't do business with folks that don't want my business. So much for the big party order - I'll go elsewhere read more

Good sweets. Standard prices. The food seems like it hasn't been sitting. It's a great place to go if you need quality sweets for an occasion very quickly. It's the only good bakery in the community, and I'm glad they are here for us. read more

We have a weekly meeting for weekend turnover and each week the person on duty brings the donuts. I had the Maria's cream donut this week, what a nice surprise. The cream was rich and not too sweet. One of the best donuts I've had in a long time. read more

My Experience at Maria's Bakery was wonderful!! I was recommened by a friend and have never gone back to the competition. I gave my mom a surprise 60th birthday party last year. All I had to do was give them the invitation and they cut the cake out and copied the invitation perfectly. The employees were so helpful and cheerful. Not only did the cake look amazing, it was so moist and melted in your mouth. The icing was not real sweet like other bakeries I have been to. So overall my experience was amazing, and would recommend to everyone!!! I have also attached a link for everyone to visit that customers have had a great experience there!!! The Italian rum cake absolutely the best I have ever tasted. I wont ever make that drive back down to philly again. http://www.insiderpages.com/b/3720755384/marias-primetime-bakery-folsom read more

I just paid $62 for a tiramisu cake & got a dry white cake w/ hazelnut icing. The sheet cake was not any better than anything I could get at Acme. Their doughnuts may be great but stay away from their cakes! Day 2 -- returned uneaten cake and got a full refund. She wanted me to take store credit but since Maria's is way out of the way for me I said no & got a full refund in cash. Appreciate not having to argue about getting a refund but won't be going back. read more
