Crema's Take
“Blacker's Bakeshop is a welcoming neighborhood gem that takes dietary restrictions seriously, with a track record of accommodating allergies and special needs without making anyone feel like an afterthought. Their pastries—from custom cakes to everyday muffins and rugelach—are crafted with real care, and families keep returning because they can trust the bakery's expertise and genuine kindness at the counter. It's the kind of place where you grab your Sunday morning scone with confidence, knowing they've thought through every detail.”

We got our wedding cutting cake here and it was absolutely amazing! We had many kosher guests who loved the cake, plus it was dairy and nut free for our many guests who had dietary restrictions. The wedding cake tasting was super fun, they set up a little bistro table in the store for us and had many options to try. The cake was delicious and it was all gone by the end of the night with most people going back for seconds! Karen could not have been nicer during the whole process and they were very accommodating of allergies. Would highly recommend!
Blacker’s bakeshop saved my baby girl’s birthday party. We ordered a birthday cake from an unnamed bakery weeks in advance for her 2 Sweet Birthday theme, on the day of her party her mom went to pick up the cake and it was not what we requested at all! The design was wrong and we requested a nut free cake due to allergies! A good friend of ours recommended Blacker’s Bakeshop and what a game changer it was!!! The cupcakes were phenomenal, they were moist and tasted amazing not to mention they were fitting for the theme of the party which was a plus. The team at Blacker’s Bakeshop was pleasant and super helpful. We will be back again! Thank you for your service and your desserts.
My girlfriend has an egg allergy, and I saw so many positive reviews for Blacker’s Bakeshop. It was super easy working with them, and the ladies working there are extremely helpful and friendly!!! They were able to make me a custom Hachiware cake for a great price, and it tasted amazing for a cake that was eggless!!!! No coconuty flavor at all, and nobody knew that this was vegan until I had told them
Phenomenal. I have been dairy free since February and have missed a good cupcake. I went in today and got a bunch of different things to bring back home to the family. Everybody loved everything. The frosted brownies were hands down our favorite and the best we have had. I found the prices to be very reasonable and the staff to be welcoming and friendly. Will be back!
We come to Blackers almost every Sunday for muffins, scones, cupcakes, and/or rugelach. We have nut and dairy allergies in our family, so we love that we can feel 100% safe here. Today, I got their Maple Oat Scone snd it was delicious! We’ve also gotten a couple of beautifully decorated birthday cakes! The staff are always friendly and the quality of everything has been top-notch. Highly recommend!
