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.

MACARONS -- I bought 3 macarons (strawberry milkshake, salted caramel, and lavender). Each macaron cost $3.25 each and they are slightly bigger than traditional macarons. The flavours were good but slightly off from what I'm used to but I can't quite explain it. I wouldn't say they tasted artificial but it was just different or maybe it was slightly artificial in flavour. My favourite flavour was the lavender. The salted caramel was too sweet and it almost didn't feel as if it should have been a macaron flavour. I did like it though. The strawberry milkshake was good but it needed a little more strawberry flavour. Overall, Kelsey Elizabeth is a nice bakery. I heard their cookies are delicious. I'll definitely stop by again! **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 163/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1004 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 July 2026

I spoke to her today to share my concerns and the owner Margie Axelrod had zero empathy for the situation offering no options but tried to defend the situation by saying their cake designers do not make the customer cakes like they did in the past.

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

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!).

You will be so happy to know these cakes are just as beautiful, maybe more, then they are on Instagram! When we saw the holiday menu online, we knew we had to try it immediately. I love that they have an online ordering system where you are promptly invoiced to submit half of your payment ahead of time, and pay the other half when you arrive to pick up your order. The Studio is super cute with vibrant colors and quirky details that really give the space personality. They have a sweet little coffee bar at the front as well as a bakery case with brownies, cookies, and other house bakery specialties. Our cakes were absolutely fabulous. You can really tell the difference between a cake made with love and a mass-market store-bought cake. The peppermint chocolate cake literally tasted like a boozy York peppermint Patty. The cranberry almond cake had the perfect almond flavor but was not a complete sugar bomb. We all commented on how we loved the icing and attention to detail on both of these cakes. We had such a great experience with them that we came back a few weeks later To purchase a custom birthday cake. Again, they exceeded our expectations and we were thrilled. Wonderful staff, easy ordering and unbeatable cakes in terms of taste and beauty. This cake studio is absolutely worth the drive and you can feel wonderful about supporting local!
