I enjoy baking, and rarely buy from bakeries, but I was recovering from surgery recently and received several treats from The Ultimate Pastry Shop as alternative to flowers. Everything was fresh and very good, obviously made with quality ingredients. Prices were more than reasonable, as well. I will definitely return! read more

The Ultimate Pastry Shop opened in 1987. It bakes and sells desserts such as cookies, cupcakes, tarts, pies, and cakes. During my visit, in the display cases, I saw desserts such as blueberry cookies, danishes, raisin oat scones, raspberry muffin tops, sticky buns, apricot rugelach, banana bread, chocolate chip bread, peanut butter bars, cheesecake brownies, etcetera. I even saw a gluten-free option. My husband and I picked out several treats. An employee carefully wrapped and boxed them. The total cost was less than $10. Here are my ratings for the treats: Snickerdoodle cookie - 4 stars Sugar cookie with icing and sprinkles - 5 stars - You might expect a sugar cookie to be plain, but this one tasted delicious. Chocolate chip cookie - 3 stars Oatmeal raisin cookie - 4 stars Lady lock - 5 stars - My husband commented that he really enjoyed the buttercream icing inside. Cinnamon roll - 4 stars - This cinnamon roll was very dry, but after we put some butter on it and microwaved it, it became more moist. It had nice flavors. read more

I've always ordered special occasion cakes from the Ultimate Pastry Shop..and it's not their product I have a gripe about..it's the employees..it's funny because in my next two conversations with friends, as soon as I mentioned where I bought the cake from, before anything was even said, both friends said the employees at the UPS are borderline rude..I own a business and your employees are a reflection of the business owners..there's never a " hi, how are you today?..can I get you something?" Instead you get a dead pan look and a cut and dry " what do ya want?"..and a "what else"..you'd think in an upscale town like Sewickley where the clientele are used to being treated with kindness and respect , that the UPS could find a tad more friendly employees..their sweets are good..they now need to " sweeten" up their employees!! read more

My dad used to get my brother and I cinnamon rolls and brownies from this place some mornings 20 years ago. I cherished those mornings. It made getting ready for school kinda chill. I've been seeing family a lot lately and have been bringing snacks from this place and am amazed. I don't know how they achieve such big flavor-town. Particularly, their cinnamon rolls, peanut butter bars, and carrot cake bars are explosively flavorful. Everything is good - you really can't go wrong; even their simple strawberry and lemon iced cookies are delicious. Definitely worth sampling an assortment every once in a while (I didn't try the carrot cake bars since they dropped - perhaps 20 years ago - and regret it). Love the variety here and the average strength of flavor. Texture profiles are ubiquitously comfortingly soft. I am not going here for a grain bar. Great service. There are often five or ten customers in front of me, but I've never had to wait more than five minutes. After my 20 year hiatus, I figured they'd still be a cash-only place, but they take cards. I'd gladly keep cash on hand just to frequent this place. So friendly. I had family in town for the winter holidays, including my brother who had shared those pleasurable morning treats with me 20 years ago, and reaching the store a few minutes after they closed for their winter break - heartbroken - I found a sympathetic employee striding towards the door and willing to serve me last-minute. The best American bakery I've ever been to - peerless. read more

I used to work in Sewickley and would always go to The Ultimate Pastry for their chocolate frosted brownies. I live out of state, but when I'm in Pittsburgh, I make a point to stop in for my brownie fix . . . 30 years later and still as yummy as they were when I got first got hooked on them. read more

The lady locks are by far the best I've ever had. The cream in the middle was sent to this earth on angel's wings from heaven.

The absolute best! I usually hate things from bakeries, it all tastes the same. Not so at Ultimate! The BEST mousse cakes, we couldn't do a celebration without their fantastic cupcakes and I look for any excuse to stop in for the adorable, DELICIOUS cut out cookies. Who am I kidding, no excuse needed. The place is adorable and the people are as sweet as their wares read more

I love this bakery! The staff is very professional, warm and accommodating. Fantastic pastries and cookies. They offer cakes for weddings, bridal showers and birthdays. This bakery can pretty much do what ever design you need! A little on the high end of the scale but well worth it. If you are ever in the sewickley area this place is a must. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped here to get a sweet treat for dessert. The have a small table area up front if you wish to eat in but for the most part it is take out. The pastry shop has quite a selection to choose from. From breakfast pastries to rugelach you can find most anything here. They have a vast assortment of cookies and on the center table are prepackaged items for purchase. In the refrigerated see through you can see lovely cakes and cupcakes made fresh. They don't have any vegan options here but they do have gluten free. I inquired about the cakes and was told a small 6 inch one is about $18.00. The two of us however wanted to try the cupcakes so we both purchased a chocolate raspberry one. They were reasonably priced at just under $3.00 and it was a descent size. Needless to say when I got home to try it is was melt in your mouth good! Located on Beaver Ave near Broad St in the heart of Sewickley business district metered street parking is available. read more

Things here always look pretty. Some of their decorated holiday cakes are spectacular. But for my taste, the cakes were not as good as they looked. I like their danish and the chocolate mousse cake alot. Cookies are hit or miss. Service is friendly and welcoming and of course the Village is cute. I will always stop in to see what they have but I will no longer go much out of my way unless I want danish or chocolate mousse cake. read more

Love this place! We came in and the worker was so pleasant. We got so many pastries and our total was only 21 dollars! Could never get so many quality items for that price anywhere else. Everything was great! Will come here for dessert now on. read more

The pastries are fresh, & delicious. They use high quality ingredients, the flavors are amazing. Nice variety of cookies, the snickerdoodles are perfect, crispy on the edges & soft in the middle. The rugelach cookies come in a variety of flavors, my favorites are the cinnamon & raspberry. The staff are friendly & helpful. The prices are reasonable. read more

Nice people and good cakes, pies, and cookies. Just recognize they close midday on certain days.

This is my first time in Sewickley and i was in town for a week. I was on my lunch break and decide to walk from the hospital and into the town. I love pastery and cookies so this was a must after lunch. The place is pretty clean and bright inside. I ordered a chocolate cookie, snicker doodles, and a double dip chocolate chip. The cookies average was about .75 cents and was reasonably priced. They had so many different types of cookies to choose from. Unfortunately, they do no have a sugar free or a semi sweet cookie. The person that was taking my order was very friendly and service with a smile. I told her i was taking pictures for yelp.com but they have never heard of the website. So she called the bakery chef and i she questioned me why i was taking pictures. It seemed though she was worried in a unfriendly matter though but the cashier was nice. All and all, it's a great find if you have a sweet tooth. I'll post up the pictures soon and hopefully Pittsburgh will find out more about yelp. read more

The Ultimate Pastry Shop - Chocolate chip cream cheese ruglach - Bakeries Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

I stopped in here for a cookie based on a recommendation that they were the best in town. Upon walking in, there were a few customers but the staff behind the cases greeted me immediately and asked what I'd like. I said I hadn't been in before and asked a few questions about the cookies before settling on a "Dalmatian," which was a soft chocolate chip cookie with white chocolate chips and topped with a layer of buttercream frosting. Although there were many other delicious looking options (perhaps twenty plus), my boyfriend asked for a Dalmatian as well. Our total was $1.90 (95¢ a piece!). We grabbed a few napkins and sat at the table in the window. The cookies were great, very soft and moist. The buttercream was outstanding! Great cookies plus friendly service and reasonable prices is a winner in my book. I would totally have ordered more except my willpower was strong. I will definitely stop back by here and my only complaint is that I live so far away (although maybe that's good for my waistline!). read more

You walk in, that old school bakery smell (the best kind) hits you right away. I go for the breakfast pastries, but almost always walk out with more than I planned. Cinnamon rolls and scones (flavor changed daily) are my go to, and the cinnamon rolls alone are worth the visit, but I've also been working my way thru their wide assortment of cookies and treats and have yet to find something I didn't like. The staff is always so nice, and their awesome prices just seal the deal on my repeat visits. read more

I don't know if it's me or them, but their hours seem erratic and somehow always cut short. If I owned a little bakery I would certainly be open on light up night, small business Saturday, during all of the parades, etc. etc. etc. Maybe they have good reason not to- I don't know. There is no doubt that their cookies with buttercream icing Are phenomenal. Just delicious. All of their cookies and brownies are delicious. I haven't ever gotten a full cake from them, but I know they require refrigeration. The iced brownies are top notch, but you really want to go to the case that's immediately in front of you as you walk in the store and get one of the thin cookies with puffy buttercream icing on it. They usually have a good assortment of gluten free items and the staff is always helpful. I love their cute front window displays and the front seating area. Also- the color scheme in here is fabulous, from the tiles to the ceiling. Feels like an off the beaten path bakery in Vermont to me for some reason. read more

I am so disappointed in what was supposed to be king cakes for Mardi Gras. I ordered 28 cakes to deliver to clients throughout town for the 4th consecutive year. Each year the quality had been pretty good. But this year I was embarrassed when my client opened the box in front of me and what was supposed to be a King Cake looked like I baking class mistake. They were not very nice to deal with either. Short and rude... I will be taking my business somewhere else... read more

The cinnamon rolls are the best I've ever had! And I personally LOVE their sugar sprinkle cookies. SO good. Staff isn't super friendly, and I haven't tried much else to give more than 4 stars. But I highly recommend the sprinkle cookies and the cinnamon rolls! But be aware, on Saturday's, if you don't get there early enough, the cinnamon rolls may be sold out. This happened to us one Saturday, and my husband was absolutely heart broken. We don't live super close to Sewickley, and we basically made the trip just to get cinnamon rolls. I was happy to have gotten my sprinkle cookies though!!! read more

I hate to downgrade my previous review, but something has changed at the UPS. My last nuthorn purchase was dry. The last time I ordered a cake here, they smashed the top of the cake when they put it in a box and didn't offer to fix it. I was frustrated. Who orders a beautiful cake if they don't care what it looks like? The guy that did my wedding cake is no longer there. Wish I knew where he was and what in the world this bakery is thinking by hiring employees as dry as their cookies are now. I'd rather make the drive out to Prantl's or Oakmont. So sad.... read more

You can never go wrong here. Everything tastes amazing. Ordered 11 dozen cookies recently for a bridal shower and the cookies were perfection! Everyone loved them. The lemon crinkles and chocolate chunk were the first to go. We also had the strawberry baby cakes (delicious) and almond melt always which were also amazing. My personal favorite are their snicker-doodles. The price is right for the size and quality! Highly recommend. read more

So, my family was visiting a loved one at Sewickley hospital and decided to stop in and get a cake for my daughters birthday the next day. Most of the cakes on display were decorated for the steeler playoff game. The staff asked what I was looking for- which was not pre made so, they went in the back and made exactly what my daughter requested in about 10 mins. Who does that? We could not be happier. While we waited we each got cookies to try. The oatmeal and chocolate chip were our favorites. This is a wonderful establishment with friendly and accommodating staff. read more

Where do I even start? I got hooked when I delivered my son on my birthday at the hospital right next to this gem. Friends and family visited bearing gifts of pasties and other delicious sweet from here. The black bottom cupcake is probably my favorite here. A moist, chocolate cupcake with swirls of cheesecake inside. Sometimes they even have full cakes of it. I snag those immediately. Their cinnamon rolls are also to die for. They make great gifts too. Come on-who has time to make these on their own? Plus, they wouldn't taste as good. They also make the best cinnamon rugelachs-even better than my grandma's. read more

The service has gone downhill. Our visit was disappointing. I brought my three children in for a trip to the bakery. We arrived no later than 4:15. The bakery closes at 5:00. However, as I was purchasing items, I was informed that the seating area is already closed because the girl was sweeping it up and the stools were already on the bench. If I want to eat cookies at home, I will bake them myself or buy them at the grocery store. We will be choosing a different bakery next time. read more

The Ultimate Pastry Shop is amazing! A must-see when you are in Sewickley. Stop by for some of the most delicious cheescake, cupcakes, secret-recipe cinnamon rolls, apricot or nut rolls, cookies, rugelach, cakes for all occasions, quiche, and so much more! Honestly the best key-lime pie I've ever had! Bill & Tina who own it are such giving people in our community too - they always are lending a helping hand to anyone who needs it. The custom cakes they make are out of this world - if you can dream it, they can make it! Bill has been making 3-D cakes for us for years - a golf cart with woodland animals for my husband's birthday, a puppy dog for our daughter's birthday, a large peacock with cupcakes for tail feathers, and so much more! They are super creative, they also do beautiful traditional designs - our daughter's First Holy Communion cake was gorgeous. Highly recommend! read more

Yummyyyyy! It's all delicious although their staff is not very friendly which is odd. When I think of a hometown bakery, I think warm, inviting people behind the counter... not crabby ones. So I had to take off a star...My favorites are the cinnamon buns! read more

Staff is so friendly and exceedingly helpful! My younger sister wanted princess Tiana and Hello Kitty on her birthday cake! What I thought was impossible, they imagined perfectly! They did tell me for copyrighted images (like Hello Kitty) I had to choose from an image book-- and I posted a picture above for proof of how cute it turned out! I brought in a Barbie and they brought her to life! While my favorite icing is the whip cream-- I ordered the buttercream icing to facilitate decorating and it was *so* good. I will be returning here for all my big events and even just for an indulgent snack! read more

My family have always been huge fans of this place; my older sister even worked here for years and had a good time with it. Their cookies mean everything to me, and when I was diagnosed with celiac, I thought that meant the end of eating from here, but no! They make gluten free treats often, and you can specially order things gluten free. It was a dream come true; I had my 16th birthday cake made gluten free here and it was amazing, and before I left for college, my mother had ordered some gluten free iced sugar cookies, which are my everything as I said. The people here are also super nice; this is just a wonderful establishment all around. read more

I've had several cakes from here and I have to that the cake part is fine, but the frosting is overwhelming in that there is way to much if it. The last cake was one layer and while there was too much frosting everywhere, in the center there was over an inch of it and only maybe 3/4 in inch of actual cake. read more
