In town this weekend for a wedding in Pittsburgh, I just had to make time for a stop at the…read moreultimate cream stick destination in the Ohio Valley--Gus's Goodies in Weirton. If you know, you know. This iconic bakery has been a staple of the city for generations, and after recently celebrating its 90th anniversary, it's easy to see why people keep coming back. What makes Gus's so special isn't just the famous cream sticks (although they absolutely live up to the hype). It's a family-run business that has become part of the fabric of the community, and there's something special about supporting a local institution that has been serving customers with pride for nearly a century. Beyond the cream sticks, they offer cakes, cookies, pastries, and just about every sweet treat you could hope to find in a hometown bakery. On a previous visit, we did run into a small issue when a few of our cream sticks were missing that signature filling. I gave them a call, and instead of excuses, I was met with genuine kindness and a sincere desire to make it right. On our next visit, they more than delivered, and the experience reminded me why customer service still matters. Gus's Goodies is one of those places I'll always make time for whenever I'm back in Weirton. Thank you for the continued hospitality, wonderful service, and for making the city just a little sweeter with every cream stick. Here's to many more years of carrying on a hometown tradition--and yes, filling those cream sticks (and this Yelp review) with plenty of love.

My boyfriend and I stopped in on Valentine's day to pick up a few cookies and a blueberry muffin. I…read morewas surprised at how many Valentine's day themed baked goods were still available when we showed up. We bought some sugar cookies, chocolate chip, and a peanut butter. The muffin was for his grandmother, but it was the last blueberry on the shelf and it looked good. The cookies were fantastic. I personally had the peanut butter with a little dollop of chocolate in the middle. It had a slight chew and lots of peanut butter flavor. I thought the prices were a little high for the cakes, but maybe they're amazing! The customer-facing area of the business is on the smaller side. It would definitely feel crowded with 10 people in there. They have racks spread throughout so you can shop each corner without being forced to wait at the counter for everything. They do have a good sized paved parking lot available right out front.

I ended up getting a raspberry muffin and my coworker got the brownie. It was breakfast so I wanted to be sort of good! The muffin was delicious but after having a taste of my coworker's brownie I could see why she recommended it!. It was absolutely amazing! Yum! Also, their coffee wasn't too great but it was better than I expected. The dining area has tables but also has a sitting area with lots of toys and a tv for kids to play. This would be a great place to meet up with friends and let your kids keep themselves busy. If I end up back in Steubenville I'll have to go back and this time get a brownie...or two.

The folks at Aubrey's were very helpful and accommodating, helping me to pick out a cake and baking it that same day. Best of all, my daughter called that night to tell me how delicious the cake was. By the way, the cake was also significantly less expensive than those I have ordered from other bakeries for previous events. this place gets 5 stars in my book. Quality product, fast and friendly service, good value for the money. Thank you, Aubrey's!

Such a sweet little place to grab a bite to eat! The people are nice, the food is GREAT, and…read moreoverall, it's so awesome. The only things I have to complain about is the interior size, seating, and hours. It's a bit small on the inside, so when it's busy it gets pretty cramped. There isn't a lot of seating, but it usually isn't too busy so it's fine. The hours are a little wonky. They aren't open very late, so when I get home from school and I realize I want a cupcake, they're closed. But nonetheless, this is my absolute favorite place to go on my cheat day !

Stopped there to try their lunch menu. Ordered a Toasted Italian Sub without the Balsamic Dressing…read more They brought me my sandwich WITH the Balsamic Dressing, that made my so-called "toasted" roll very soggy and worse, it was followed by a slew of fruit flies! I kid you not! That place is infested with fruit flies! I literally had to fight the fruit flies for my sandwich and the fruit flies won! I will never again eat anything that comes from that place. The dining area is dimly lit, which makes it difficult to see what it's really like. While I was waiting for my food, my eyes adjusted enough to see that the place isn't that clean. The vinyl table clothes need wiped off and the floor was both sticky and gritty in places. I'm surprised the health inspectors allow this place to operate with those violations.
