I am not a cake person at all- I never eat cake at parties, because they're often dry and covered in overly sweet frosting. Just not my thing. However, West Side Bakery makes the best cake! I've ordered 2 cakes in the past year, and both times they have not only been beautiful and exactly to my specifications (both times they even exceeded my specifications and expectations), but they've been absolutely delicious! Guests of both parties have raved of the cake, and I can't go anywhere else! In addition, their baked goods are outstanding (hello that creme brûlée), as well as lunch items. This place is such a gem. Amazing job!
West Side Bakery in Akron provided our wedding cake. It was absolutely perfect! We had chocolate cake and chocolate mouse layer and a spice cake and cream cheese layer. Could not have asked for better! Can't wait to have our anniversary topper - lemon cake with lemon curd! Delish!
I have always enjoyed birthday cakes and other treats from here. The recently did our wedding cake. We gave them an idea of what we wanted and they make our design above and beyond what we ever thought! Also, the flavor and freshness was amazing. The cake actually all got eaten! People went back for seconds. Even people who don't like wedding cake ate it and we were told it was the best cake they ever had by several guests!
I recently got married and got my wedding cake from The West Side Bakery, it was amazing! We didn't really have anything in mind when we went it for our initial consultation, however they were extremely helpful and provided many examples. When all was said and done we ended up going with something we never even thought of...a gray cake with light gray and yellow scrolling. It looked absolutely beautiful and tasted even better! Our guests loved it! We got numerous comments on how beautiful and delicious it was! If you are in the market for a wedding cake, or any kind of bakery for that matter I would highly recommend The West Side Bakery!
Best bakery ever! Talented staff and great service. The area is blessed to have them in their neighborhood.
Vegan products are superb! I will highly recommend this place to vegetarian/vegan friends!
Amazing cookies even here in St Louis people ask us to bring them when we visit. Monica is amazing with the customers and here southern accent will have you melting where you stand.
My mother had a cake made from The West Side Bakery for my father's birthday. We were all blown away by the detail and thought put into the cake. On top of this, it was delicious! Far too often I have found cakes are either beautiful or delicious.. Such a treat to have had both. Thank you!

Absolutely Outstanding Cakes and Pies! We have ordered several cakes and pies from The West Side Bakery at the Green location and the quality is superb! You will not find cakes more exquisitely beautiful than these! The cake designers are extremely talented. The West Side Bakery is my first choice for all of our celebrations, including the cake I just ordered for Mother's Day! Please continue the outstanding work West Side Bakery!
Our baby shower cake was both adorable and delicious! Westside has done our wedding cake, anniversary cake and now our baby shower cake!
Whether you're looking for a custom cake or just stopping in for some sweet treats on your way to an event, West Side Bakery never disappoints! Whenever we tell guests that dessert is from West Side, the response is always, "Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Yum!" From the friendly staff to the decadence in every bite, West Side is one of my go-to local bakeries. Thanks for making every occasion special!
I gave Barb a picture and she made it come to life! Thank you all! My wedding cake was one of my favorite details!

We hired The West Side bakery for our wedding event Nov 20, 2021 at Gervasi Vineyard. We had a small cake with a cupcakes and french macarons for our favors. Barb is a pleasure to work with. Everything was delicious. i would definitely recommend and hire again for any future events.

I've been here several times and have always had wonderful experiences. They also have some of the best vegan options around. I ordered a birthday cake for an extremely picky boss this week and he was blown away by the carrot cake. Carrot cake is his absolute favorite, he's tried many, so this is big. The funfetti cake also received many compliments from another birthday event. They just need a gluten free option, my poor husband keeps missing out!
I cannot say enough good things about West Side Bakery!! As just a basis, their cakes are incomparable in taste to any other bakery in town. They are deliciously moist and their buttercream is so light and smooth. Barb made my wedding cake and I asked for her to copy the lace pattern on my dress in the design of the cake. She literally made the cake all that I dreamed of!! She made a design that matched my dress perfectly and looked so beautiful on the cake. It was so worth it to have a unique cake and she is just so talented. Cannot recommend enough!!
Outstanding cakes and pastries. We ordered our wedding cake from here. I recommend the lemon ricotta puff cookies
I'd give The West Side Bakery more than 5 stars if I could. We worked with Barb and her team for our Wedding cake and cupcakes, and the whole process was so easy! They provided us with 3 cakes at our tasting, and we were sold right away! They were SO delicious, and Barb was so friendly. She even worked with me to surprise my husband with a Grooms cake. HIGHLY recommend!
