| - This bakery is somewhat of an institution in the Pittsburgh area, and for the most part, its reputation is well deserved. I don't think it's the best bakery around -- it has a huge selection of goodies (which is great), but I think for that reason there's a bit of a quantity-quality trade off that happens here. That being said, I've been here several times, and I'm always fairly pleased with the things that I get. Their cupcakes come in wide variety of flavors and are always beautifully decorated. Occasionally I find that their cupcakes are drier than they should be, but the flavor is usually good, and their frosting is light in texture with the perfect amount of sweetness. They also offer donuts, pies, cookies, breads, sandwiches, and other things I'm surely forgetting. In terms of selection, it probably is one of the biggest bakeries in the area.
Because they are so big, they keep their cases well stocked...I've never gone here seeking a particular item and found that they were out of it (even late in the day). It is crazy busy at all times, but take a number and you'll find that the lines move quickly.
