My husband and I ordered a red velvet cake topper and 6 dozen mixed doughnuts for our wedding and everything was perfect! Worked perfectly for our doughnut tower display incorporated with the cake top! Plus we preordered two bread bowls one wheat one pumpernickel and they were the first to be eaten! They were so good!

My boyfriend and I came in after mass at Old Saint Mary’s across the street and decided to stop in for a coffee. There is no evidence we ordered pastries but the cinnamon roll and chocolate croissant were delicious. can’t wait to come back. Both employees were very kind and helpful

I can’t wait to go back. The absolute best savory feta fig croissants I’ve ever had, and the absolute most heavenly apple butter croissant. Me and my husband have the tradition to stop at a bakery every time we travel, and this one’s up there in our list

Great Bakery downtown! I got a Brown bear latte with oatmilk and the caramel pumpkin bun. Loved it so much I have to go back to try something new!

Opens at 9, we got there at 8:40 am and there was a small line. We were about 10 people back but as soon as they opened we were in and out within 10 mins. The sesame caramel blondie was incredible. Also really enjoyed the raspberry bun. You can’t go wrong with any item. 10/10.

Inviting atmosphere, nice staff. Cinnamon bun may have been the best I’ve ever eaten. Had that soft Cinnabon style texture but still kept great structure and not doughy at all. The citrus was a great touch. On the other hand the raspberry almost croissant was so sweet I could only eat a couple of bites. The frangipane center is a sugar bomb I think it would be much better without. Pure sugar taste to the whole thing.

The pastries were excellent!! They clearly sell out fast – we visited twice and the first day we showed up an hour after opening to a very limited remaining selection. The croissants had excellent flavor and a really nice textural contrast between the exterior and interior. I tried a number of pastries and think a must-try is the artichoke croissant. If I were local I’d be here all the time!

Possibly the best Bakery on planet earth. Everything they make is delicious. Brown Bear is an absolute must stop anytime we are in Cincinnati, usually twice.
The savory croissants are just on another level, not only are they the best croissants I’ve ever had, they are up there for the best food I’ve ever had. We had their Feta and Fig croissant a few weeks ago and it was just delightful.
If anyone I talk to even mentions driving through Cincinnati, I tel them they have to stop. Never disappointed.
The people who work inside are great too, always friendly.
