Senape's Bakery — Restaurant in Hazleton

From the moment I walked into Senape’s Bakery, I was greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of fresh bread and pastries. But the real highlight of my visit was the service — Jennivel went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable.

Not only did Jennivel help me pick out the perfect selection of pastries (including the cheese buns that might actually be the best in the state), but she also took the time to explain the different breads and even offered pairing suggestions for coffee (tea biscuits). Everything felt personal and genuine, like I was being welcomed into a friend’s home rather than a shop.

The pastries were fresh, flavorful, and made with obvious care, but honestly, the customer service alone would keep me coming back. Senape’s Bakery is lucky to have someone like Jennivel —friendly, and truly passionate about what they do.

I’ll definitely be back… probably sooner than my diet would like!

I thought the sauce was slightly spicy, but not too spicy, just the right amount of seasoning. Then cheese is added to the top. The pitza are square slices and served cold (room temperature). I do not like cold pizza but this is very interesting. Not at all like hot pizza that has cooled down to room temperature. I like the pitza. They also serve hot pies, which we ordered one night. It was very tasty. Not as good as New York pizza but a lot better than Domino's or Pizza Hut. The staff is very friendly. The prices...

The poppy seed buns have about 1/4 of the poppy seed filling...what were you thinking making a change like this?! We'd come from Florida to have these, a lifelong treasure since childhood that you guys managed to mess up by being cheap and cutting out almost all of the filing, and turning them into something just below a cheap gas station snack. You could at least give people the option to pay more for the original product, rather than hand over this junk with no warning when a person had 40 years of the same consistent product they are expecting. We purchased multiple different days, so it is not a fluke, and our disappointment at this decision can't be...
