We went there today for the first time. It's a small place with a few tables and comfortable chairs to sit and relax with a cup of Rising Star coffee. A single counter at the back of the room clearly displays the days offerings. I couldn't help but try their stuffed grape leaves, zucchini balls, and rice pudding. All of it looked marvelous. Can't wait to get home to try it all. The owner, a very pleasant and helpful woman, explained everything to us without hesitation as we asked question after question. If you long for Greek bakery, or just any bakery, give them a look-see. FYI... update: I just had everything I purchased for dinner. It was FANTASTIC!!! I'm definitely going back.

A dozen is about $18 which isn't bad at all. The chocolate glazed yeast was also unremarkable. Not dry or stale or off flavored but just kinda there and not any kind of fluffy lightness you'd write home about. The crullers here are unique! Very rugated, soft, fall apart in your hand and quite tasty. Best in the Cleveland area and I'm not even a big cruller fan. The plain glazed cake had a great texture. Moist inside, some crispiness outside. But it had an offish kinda almost remotely lemony flavor I am not a fan of.

Rating - 3.5/5 I…read morevisited Elmwood Home Bakery in Lakewood on Saturday, 30 May 2026. Service was friendly and attentive. I was amazed to hear that this bakery has existed for over 70 years in the same family. I was looking for croissants but they don't bake those. They bake cookies, bread, and a few other baked goods. I bought a sticky bun (I haven't tried it yet), beer claw with walnuts, coconut bun, and a small biscuit filled with bacon (my favourite) plus a very small free cookie was given to me. Everything that I tried was good but a little dry. The prices were very fair and not expensive. I was told that their hours are Tuesdays - Fridays - 7am - 5pm, Saturdays 7am to 3pm. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. I spent $6.25 total which is a good deal. Parking is at the back of the business or street parking. I found a free street parking spot when I arrived. I'll probably be back to buy a pack of the small biscuits filled with bacon which is $12 for a bunch of them. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 111/250 total reviews in 2026 - 952 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 May 2026

He came out from his job to observe me with my dog while she was struggling (she has an autoimmune condition) so she was taking awhile while he stood staring at us for an uncomfortable amount of time while I'm standing there with one hand covered in a dog poop bag. I asked him if I could help him and he told me he was making sure I was picking up after my dog and she's not allowed to go there (not even his property!). I had actually planned on placing an order with them next month to bring to my corporate office but after reading many of the recent reviews about this guy I have genuine concerns about the owner's mental health as it appears to becoming a frequent occurrence.

We probably dropped about $60 on some of the best sweet treat's bakery. It was worth every penny except the Cherry Strudel. Strudel is what Rudy's is known for except the wonderful Paczki's during Lent. Back to the strudel. Either it was over baked or just plain stale. The worst I've purchased. In fact, I actually had to cut through the bottom of the strudel with a serrated knife. The cherries were great tasting but the strudel, certainly not what I expected from Rudy's Strudel. I hope someone at Rudy's pays attention. It was disappointing.

Not bad coffee, not great cookies…read more Wanted to try a local place while in Ohio, this was the only location open in the area at the time. So I made the trek to try their coffee. Place is decorated well, lots of seating. The cashier/barista was friendly and helpful. They have coffee but it's only a portion of what they do. Most of their menu was going over their food options rather than their drinks. I opted for a toasted marshmallow latte and a cookie warmed up. I got my latte and took some sips. The latte was very light on coffee flavor. Mostly got milk and light sweetness of marshmallow. The cookie was over warmed, became crumbly and was not very flavorful. Price was a little high, but about them same as an average Starbucks order. As a local shop, it meets the requirements of a standard coffee place. It's nothing special, but functional.
