During the Xmas parade this place was hopping, busy as all get out. But the wait was worth it as I got a loaf of Italian bread along with some Santa n snowman sugar cookies. Although I did think they were a little pricey at $ 1.00 apiece, but quite tasty. I shall patronage their business again in the near future 🎁🎄🎅😎

Love their cakes. Always go there for birthday cakes. Smiley face cookies are a must for young and old alike. Doughnuts are delicious, but need to get there early for the best selection.

I went at 10ish and there were NO cream filled anything, NO jelly filled, NO raspberry filled, all that was left was the donuts nobody cares about. Not that I need them anyway but I've been happy here before. So my question is, if these are the top sellers why not make more of them to last the day so you DON'T get UNsatisfied customers? I hope I get better donuts next time. The ones that we did pick were so dry even after dunking! Like I said I have always had awesome cakes, donuts, etc. here so I don't know what happened.

I am disappointed that the door is not wheelchair accessible. I called ahead. I wish I could sit with a cup of coffee and have a cheese danish. They make my mouth water looking at the pictures.

I came home to visit and bought 2 cream hornes.
Took my first bite and spit it out.
The usual delicate cream filling was replaced by a nasty, gritty horrible sugar filling that I threw away after one bite.

Terrible. Can't get much worse that this. Cooks who make bread and pastry do not wear gloves or face masks. Stay away.

ICONIC. Their cookies and pastries are always good and made fresh every morning. never had a problem here. Absurdly good pricing, you can fill up a whole box of sweets for $10. Every employee i've talked to is super nice. Can't go wrong. Go here and support our local businesses!

I had a sweet tooth today So I stopped in to get a little bit of sweet. What I had after I left there was very disappointing. Some of the small danish tasted stale like they were in a rancid old area. This is not the 1st time those pastries taste that that way it's been several times. Like an old building or something that has bad air. I'm probably not gonna go back there much again because going their several times and getting stale old food is not appealing to me.

A solid example of a great classic bakery. Everything we tried was good, and we tried a LOT! Will return next time we are back in the area for sure!

The service here is horrendous. The employees act annoyed to have to wait on you. It's sad this is the only bakery in town. The raisin cookies taste like flour paste. Most of the other cookies are shipped in. Do yourself a favor & skip the hassle & bad products...either bake it yourself or go across the river to another bakery.

Customer service was absolutely HORRENDOUS. From the moment I called to when I walked in the bakery, they were unfriendly and unaccommodating. I ordered a cake and they wrote the wrong thing on it and were unhelpful when I pointed out the mistake. The cake itself was fine.

Forget the chain shops, downtown serves up the freshest donuts in town, including some classics you don't find everywhere these days. A wide assortment of donuts, pastries and cookies.

Bakery goods are amazing! My complaint is the attitude I get when I go/call. It's like you can't ask a question because that's an inconvenience. I work with the public, I understand that we all have bad days, but you still give the best customer service. Good customer service confirms whether or not I will continue going to a company. I took my business to Gus' Goodies, where they will gladly answer my questions.

I'd like to try a few more things to solidify this rating. Oddly, I bought four things and only one of them was good, so I'm not sure why I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt! But this donut was REALLY good. :) I got an iced jelly filled, and it was among the best of those I've had. The other three things I tried were more in the pastry family (really stale danish, a little nut roll and a littler apricot cookie). Like I said, none of those were impressive. But given the quality of the donut, I will go back and try more.

This is absolutely one of the best bakeries in the area!

Everything they have here is delectable and deserves to be tried at least once! The glazed doughnuts are better than any doughnut that I have ever tried, the cream filled doughnuts have me hooked and everyone in my office are addicted to their cinnamon roll doughnuts (with and without raisins). They have a huge variety of cookies, as well as pies and cakes.

I would without a doubt recommend Downtown Bakery!

I bought a pineapple pie from this bakery. When I got home the top of the pie had mold growing on it. I immediately took the pie back within an hour of purchasing it. The owner flat out refused to give me the cash back that I had paid. See pointed to a sign stating that there are no cash refunds. However she did give me an in store credit for the amount that I had paid. Before you pay for anything from this bakery inspect your purchase very closely before they close the box. If you are not satisfied with your purchase from this bakery please report it to the Steubenville Health Department as I

What a treat it is to have an actual small-town bakery!

the experience starts off with a brightly-lit storefront that includes christmas lights and other decorations. inside, there is a huge variety of cookies, donuts, and other fun treats. i bought a bavarian cream puff, a date bar, and a cowboy cookie. every single thing was not only good, but exceedingly delicious.

i definitely recommend downtown bakery!

Try the glazed donuts and the loaves of bread. The fresh glazed donuts are the best I've ever had, even better than Krispy Kreme. The loaves of bread are fluffy with an excellent crust. It tastes natural and won't weigh you down like a loaf from Kroger. You will not be disappointed!

Update: I don't know why the price range on Yelp says "$$$" - everything is very affordable. Loaves of bread are $2, donuts are less than a dollar, cookies are 70 cents or so.

Where do I start? I cannot say enough good stuff about this place. I spent my entire high school years going here for lunch. Yes I became fat by the time I graduated. But my taste buds thanked me for it. Everyone likes Krispy Kreme donuts. Give me a downtown bakery donut over KK anyday!
