What a cute place! I got a gift certificate and decided to go try it out today. There are so many hidden gems in my area, I was happy to find this one. Great cakes (retail shop inside) cupcakes, cookies, coffees, turnover, quiche, giftware, too. They have outdoor seating and an adorable inside setting as well. Will go back there for sure – very friendly and welcoming staff. I got a quiche, and an apple turnover. Both were terrific.

I am so happy I found Leah’s Cakery to make my son’s birthday cake! The cake that was made for my son looked EXACTLY like the picture of the cake I sent them (see pictures below), and it tasted as good as it looked! Everyone enjoyed it and asked where it came from. I am coming back here every year for my son’s cake (with quite a few trips in between for their other tasty treats)! Thank you for making my son’s birthday the best! Everyone was very happy that day!

It was my 1st time going to Leah’s. I was passing through the area and saw a packed parking lot, people eating at the outside tables and people leaving with bags and coffee cups! My kind of place! I got a coffee and 2 savory pastries. A ham and cheese croissant and a Mexican street corn turnover. I took everything to go. Everything was excellent. I used the facilities before heading out, and it was clean and quite quaint. I definitely recommend this establishment!

Leah’s Cakery was one of the easiest and most wonderful vendors we worked with for our wedding. The whole process from tasting to delivery was organized, seamless, and delicious. We ordered chocolate cake with German chocolate praline filling and brown sugar vanilla cake with lemon curd filling which were both equally amazing and a huge hit with us and our guests. We also ordered a platter of breakfast treats that we picked up from the shop for the morning of the wedding, so tasty!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Leah’s Cakery. You need this wedding cake, and you need to visit the shop to try some of the other amazing treats she has!

Came for the cinnamon bun and got exactly what I wanted in the flavor, was super soft, fluffy, and gooey. Frosting was great and a good amount of cinnamon filling. Also tried a cupcake and it was pretty good.

Leah’s made the most unique wedding “cake” of our dreams, a cinnamon bun cake! As soon as we started wedding planning, we knew if Leah’s could make this dream possible, it would be perfection. Everyone who is local to the Capital Region knows how incredible Leah’s cinnamon buns are, and now our out of town friends and family do too. The tiers were made of mini cinnamon buns with full size buns served for dessert. Extras were enjoyed all weekend! People still talk about our delicious wedding “cake”. We can’t recommend working with Leah and her team highly enough. Every anniversary we’ll be enjoying a fresh cinnamon bun to relive the memories all over!

Super cozy atmosphere, delicious pastries, and we love their pumpkin bread. The issue I have is with the Service. Leah is only friendly to people that she knows and likes. If for some reason, she doesn’t like you, and trust me, I’m friendly, polite, would NEVER be rude in public, I get the feeling when I go in she just doesn’t like me. (probably the typical mean girl high school vibe that I’m getting) Just a general, snotty tone, unfriendly. A little uppity. It makes me uncomfortable and not really wanting to support her business. The staff sometimes is also extremely scripted, not personal. I called recently about a rather large cake. I’m interested in ordering and was directed to the website, which is totally fine. I don’t have a problem ordering on the website, but the spiel I got from whoever answered, went on so long that I couldn’t even get a word in edgewise. It was almost like calling an automated number. I thought this was supposed to be a cute, friendly, local privately owned business, and I felt like I was calling Cakes INC. especially when someone is consistently talking over you and seems annoyed that you are asking them a question. I also work Customer Service so I know that the place is probably busy and try very hard to not take up much of anyone’s time but a customer should be able to ask the question That is pertinent to the conversation without someone simply spewing irrelevant information at them as if they are just another number. Love the food in atmosphere, don’t like the vibe from the staff.

I wanted a fun and extravagant cake to celebrate my birthday and chose Leah’s Cakery from some of the impressive cake art I saw online. Not only was the website easy to use and order from, but Leah and the staff were incredibly helpful, responsive, professional, kind, and delivered exactly what I had asked for. The cake was absolutely delicious and so beautiful and I was instructed how to properly keep and serve the cake after picking it up. I got a lemon cake with lemon curd filling and my party guests and I absolutely loved it! I am so happy with my overall experience and would recommend Leah’s for a delicious and reasonably priced cake for any occasion. Thank you Leah and staff- you made my birthday one for the books!

Great service, good people, bland cookies.
Been quite a while since I had tried to first stop in at Leah’s, spanning over two years with early closures, changes in their hours, and emergency events. At long last I got it in my mind to try again, and this time the attempt bore fruit! Or cookies to be more precise.
Inside ascetic was very nice, like a small joint coffee shop, homely, warm, and it smelled nice too. The staff were friendly and conversational, I felt like all my hopes were being met.
Sadly there were only a couple things among their individual selections I could actually partake in as chocolate makes my heart explode (don’t ask), so I also opted to pick up some of their bagged and wrapped items too. Sugar cookies, frosted, sprinkled, and otherwise. Linzer Tarts, a Rice Crispy Treat, a Carrot Cake cupcake, a Lemon Custard Mini-Cheesecake, and a Vanilla Cupcake. As well as 3 slices of dessert bread. (Lemon, Pumpkin, and Apple) It all looked pretty nice. And I hoped so, since everything in total cost me over $50. Woof.
Well looks can be deceiving, as I found all the cookies, the red hearts, the sprinkle covered, the drizzle frosted (both flavors), to be dry, bland, and lacking. Especially the sprinkled ones, which had that distinct chemical flavor from the sprinkles. The lemon bread with frosted top looked moist, but bitting into it I found it lacked any moisture. I was so confused, until I realized it was an oily shine, not a wet one. The lemon curd cheesecake was good at the very least with an inviting sweet and sour smashup, and so was the rice crispy, which was softer and toastier than most I have tried. But the large swath of my haul were the cookies, so I was pretty disappointed.
I hope the remaining breads and cupcakes don’t fail me like the cookies did, but yeah, darn shame that after several years of trying to stop in, the first time I do I’m met with this result.
