Egypt Star Bakery — Restaurant in Allentown

I was really excited to try this place but was pretty disappointed. I loved the old school feel and the tiny hole in the wall place that not many people can find. Usually places like this are a gem. The container of walnut kiffles were hard, brittle, & dried out. Maybe they were just over baked or I bought a days old batch. I usually get fresh kiffles from the farmers market but I wanted to try these as they looked really good with lots of powdered sugar. The chocolate topped donut filling was great but the donut itself was dried out. Surprising since I came in early in the day so I didn't expect a dried out fresh donut. The cream puff was pretty good as it had the same kind of filling. Finally, the last item as the saving grace, a spinach croissant/danish. That was pretty flavorful and crisp. I always give places at least 2 chances so I might try out a different location next time. I will get some bread and rolls as well b/c it seems the best reviews are those...

I took the donut to the bakery to show them and to my disbelief the young girl at the counter said "you have to bring all the donuts back so we can see how many were moldy to give you your money back". I told her I trashed the donuts, but to hear they have a "moldy donuts" policy tells me it's a normal thing for them. This bakery has gone down the drain in my eyes. I will...

My Irish Pop and Polish Granny lived. in the Ward and would always take me to the Front St store and always would say your breads and baked goods taste like back in the "Old Country". At the time I wasn't sure what they meant but I do NOW. Neuwiler beer had a motto of "Nix Besser".... Well that should also be Egypt Stars motto........."None Better" Since I now live in Whitehall I shop at your Coplay store and (not sure about using names) but the Lady at Coplay is the Best. Always has the time to explain the various "goodies" and makes sure if I have a special order that it's correct and on time....Keep up the...
