We have nothing but great things to say about this place and the people that keep it running! The baked goods are some of the best I have ever had. Of course they are known for their chocolate chip cookies but every cookie they sell is top notch. We had an assortment of them at our wedding and people still rave about them. The donuts are also the best around, but only available Mondays and Fridays! They are always trying new flavors and we are never disappointed. The owner and staff are all so friendly and genuinely seem happy to be there and serve the community. They only take but there is an ATM so there's nothing stopping you from trying this place!

Absolute best chocolate chip cookie... EVER! They offer tons of other cookies, rolls & fruit pies as well! Very small- pickup only shop. Cash only as well.

Near perfect Yelp and Google reviews had me venturing out this hole-in-the-wall type Pittsburgh area institution known for best chocolate chip cookies. Nancy B's Bakery is located in a very old building in an area of Homestead that you probably wouldn't be inclined to stop in unless you knew the area. The shop itself is cash only and very no frills with a counter/display case and not much room to move around in. We were only going to go with 2-3 cookies, but wound up going with half a dozen consisting of mostly their signature chocolate chip cookies and the oatmeal raisin for some variety. We were going to get some macaroons since they were listed on their website, but they didn't have any the day I went, and it was just mostly cookies on offer. Perhaps I was expecting much better considering the high ratings, but the cookies just didn't hit the mark with me. The chocolate chip cookie was large in size with plenty of chocolate chips (maybe a few too many), but had a soft interior that made it fall apart while eating and was neither overly crunchy, nor chewy like soft cookies. We both had the same comments after sampling them that they weren't bad, but just nothing above average in the taste, flavor, or texture department. Honestly, Doubletree hotels give out a better tasting chocolate chip cookie to their guests. No regrets in trying out Nancy B's, but they won't have me as a repeat customer.

The hype is so real, these are the best cookies in pittsburgh! The brownie-chocolate chip cookie hybrid is my absolute favorite

Simple and timeless recipes are the star of the show here. Nancy B knows that there is nothing better than a good chocolate chip cookie - and she delivers, with the absolute best in the Burgh. These cookies are huge, affordable, and constantly the best ! You'll also find other favorite cookies like thumbprints, gobs, and sugar cookies, all for really fair prices. The bakery is located in the bottom floor of its building, facing W 7th Ave. There's an adjacent parking lot and an ATM inside if you don't have cash on hand.

From what I've been told, this is a Pittsburgh institution. They have early hours so it has been hard for me to stop. I finally go a chance and I was not disappointed. They carry a number of different cookies, but make sure you get their chocolate chip. That is what they are known for. If you are lucky, they will pull them right off the cooling rack for you. They put a tiny bit of peanut butter in their chocolate chip cookies and because of that they taste amazing. They are also huge!

After missing out on the most well known vegan spot in Pittsburgh due to the days of the week we…read morewere in town, I wanted to hit this spot. It seems too far for most people staying in downtown but it just so happens that we were on a road trip and therefore....had a car. Less than 10 min from downtown was all it took. No seating inside actually which gave me an excuse to wolf this shit down in the comfort of our rental car. Breakfast sandwiches were a given but I was struck by the adorable and enticing pastries and breads on display. There were a number of appealing contestants for my sandwich but the ubiquitous presence of my arch nemesis onions made it slightly challenging. We had spent the preceding few days in Cleveland and then Pittsburgh and while sauerkraut has a lot of nutritional benefits, it is somewhat lacking in protein so I felt comfortable with the "breakfast" with chickpea tofu egg scramble, roasted tomato mayo, vegan sausage and pickles on a nice, juicy bun. I admire the chickpea tofu egg it was a very nice replica for eggs. The sausage patty was gigantic and that mayo was so good. GF ordered the seitan melt with sauerkraut, red onion, oat cheese, pickles, toum, and roasted tomatoes. I tried some of the seitan which was doused in sauce and EXCELLENT. Our road trip bread supply was dwindling so we also got one of their whole grain sourdough loaves which is fantastic and still kicking 5 days later. Paired wonderfully with soup So good

The goodness that comes from their ovens is beyond compare. The ingredients they use are things like oat milk, sunflower butter, and more. Everything is handmade on a daily basis. In addition to baked goods, they offer fresh salads and sandwiches on their in-house breads. I absolutely love the chocolate rugelach, chocolate chip cookies (best ever!), blueberry muffins, chocolate croissant, French batard bread, and sourdough bread. They really have so much to choose from and it's all wonderful. Drinks (juices, coffee, etc.) also available. Support local---they deserve it!

Since we were not in a rush, the weather was nice, and there were a few tables outside, we decided to wait it out. In the meantime, we ordered two madeleines, which were beautifully baked with a light orange flavor and were definitely the highlight of the visit. We took a walk around the neighborhood and came back at 11:30, only to find a limited number of "pescatarian" sandwiches while the ham and butter sandwiches would not be ready until noon. At that point, we decided to give up on the sandwich plan. Overall, I would still come back because the bakery itself was charming and the madeleines were excellent, but the timing around sandwich availability was frustrating and worth knowing ahead of time.

Every weekend…read morewe try to visit a new local coffee shop, and on this morning we decided to go to Bunny Bakes. This actually was not our first choice or even where we were headed next, but it is where we ended up. Inside, the shop has a large front area filled with pastries on display, followed by plenty of seating toward the back. As we started placing our order, it was clear that our cashier had a disability. A quick look at their website explains their mission well, stating that they provide comprehensive training and career pathways for adults with disabilities, demonstrating that when workplaces are designed with accessibility and support in mind, everyone can contribute their unique talents and thrive. The cashier helping us was super nice, although definitely a bit chatty. After looking through the baked goods, my kids chose a red velvet cake pop and a snowflake sugar cookie. For my coffee this morning, I went with a hot gingerbread latte, while my wife chose an iced version. My coffee was good and clearly tasted like gingerbread, with plenty of sweetness and warming spices coming through. I did not get much coffee flavor, but that was not unexpected given how strong the gingerbread flavor was. My wife also enjoyed her iced gingerbread latte. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I enjoyed our coffees, my twins enjoyed their baked goods, and I really appreciate their mission of employing adults with disabilities.

The owners are incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming, which makes every visit even more enjoyable. I've traveled to Taiwan multiple times, and the breads and pastries here instantly transported me back to the bakeries of Taipei. The flavors, textures, and freshness are spot on. Everything tastes amazing right out of the bakery, but if you warm the pastries in the oven or air fryer at home, they become even more delicious. I never expected to find one of my favorite Asian bakeries in Pittsburgh, but Pink Box is truly a hidden gem. Whether you're craving authentic Taiwanese baked goods or simply appreciate exceptional food, this bakery is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

The only part with purple color was the tip of the shell. I can see grease soaked the wax paper on the bottom of the cake. Not sure how long it sat there on the shelf. So, I went back next morning to see if they have fresher ones on the shelves. I saw the one I left the night before. Ahhh... moon cakes must be shelf stable. Not! Each baked goods should have date time stamps. I felt cheated. Pink Box Bakery is the only Chinese bakery in Squirrel Hill. I think I'll go to Korean or French Bakery on my next visit.
