PISTACIA VERA REVIEWS

I LOVE Pistacia Vera!! The pastries are delicious and are beautiful to look at. I have a severe nut allergy and it really stood out to me that they labeled baked goods that contained gluten and nuts. I struggle being able to eat at bakeries and it was so wonderful that they were accommodating. When I have traveled to Europe, I am never able to eat any of their pastries, so I really appreciated the extra time and effort Pistacia Vera takes into ensuring guests can safely eat their baked goods even if they have a dietary restriction. My sister who has no dietary restrictions loves this bakery as well. She says they have the best macrons in town! Whether you have a dietary restriction or not, I highly recommend checking out Pistacia Vera for some delicious pastries.

We’ve been here many times and always a great experience with delicious food/desserts! Today Rebecca went above and beyond with pulling together a last minute order for my daughter’s birthday! We calculated our arrival time incorrectly and she put everything together ahead of time so that we could get our order within minutes of the store closing! A remarkable company with amazing support and care! Thank you so much.

The Chocolate Pistachio Feuilletine is the best dessert I've ever had in my 30+ years of existence. Marathon-run to this place and get one immediately.

BELLE'S BREAD REVIEWS

Cute bakery in my favorite shopping center in all of Columbus. Everything we got today was fresh and delicious. The roll cakes were so soft and tender and not too sweet. The UFO sweet bread is the most amazing bread I've ever eaten. So good, it doesn't need a darn thing. We'll definitely be back to get some treats for the holidays.

The bread and pastries were out of this world! I live in the Akron area and would definitely make the hour and half drive solely for this wonderful bakery. Everything was fresh and stayed fresh! We had taken some food back home with us and even after a couple days everything tasted like it was just made.

A huge fan of this place!!! The crepes are really good. I also love: red bean bun, Nutella bun, melon bun, chocolate bun, pana cotta, mousse, and chocolate cake. I drive all the way from Mount Vernon every once in a while so I can enjoy the goodness.

AUDDINO'S ITALIAN BAKERY REVIEWS

If you're looking for an old-school Italian bakery with amazing owners and staff - look no further than Auddino's. As someone who grew up in Columbus, they have always been a staple of the community. As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted to use them as our wedding vendor for desserts. They went above and beyond for our massive cookie order. And all of our guests raved about the cannolis and cookies at our cookie table. The staff is amazing and it's always fun to visit the bakery to see what they made special that day. Thank you Dante, Mike & Rosa.

OMG! If you haven't tried this place yet, you definitely need to! The lobster tails, pastries and glazed croissants are to die for along with the Italian cherry cookies and fresh made bread! I grew up in Philadelphia with Termini Bros. and Sarcones and have had Mike's Pastry in Boston...Auddino's lobster tails (Sfogliatella) are the best I've EVER had.

We heard about the lobster tails, and WOW! What an incredible, indulgent treat! The cream inside was a different cream than what was in the cream horns. Both delicious, but I've never tasted anything so heavenly than the lobster tail! Can't wait to return for another one.
