Peinetti's Bakery — Restaurant in Jeannette

Listen, I went to Peinetti’s last week expecting to grab a quick pastry and maybe judge their life choices. Instead, I left questioning my own life choices – specifically, why I haven’t been going there daily. First off, Jennifer. This woman doesn’t just work at a bakery; she’s basically a human-shaped dose of serotonin with flour on her apron. In a world where most customer service feels like talking to a chatbot having an existential crisis, Jennifer made me feel like an actual person instead of just another credit card with legs. Revolutionary stuff, really. Now, about their “churro cookie stuffed with snickerdoodle cookie butter.” I mean, who sits around and thinks, “You know what this world needs? A cookie that’s having an identity crisis but in the most delicious way possible”? Apparently, the genius minds at Peinetti’s do. It’s like they took two beloved desserts, put them in a room together, and said “now kiss.” The result? A pastry that made me question every other cookie I’ve ever eaten. The salted caramel glaze on top isn’t just a topping – it’s basically edible therapy. And don’t get me started on their “next level” almond twists with coconut and pistachios. When a bakery uses phrases like “next level,” I usually roll my eyes so hard I can see my own brain. But these twisted beauties actually delivered on their boastful promises. The raspberry glaze situation was so good, I considered asking if they sell it by the bottle. (I didn’t ask. I have some dignity left.) The whole place has this vibe of “we take our baked goods seriously, but not ourselves too seriously,” which is exactly the energy I need in my carb suppliers. Plus, they post on social media like actual humans instead of corporate robots, which honestly deserves its own Michelin star these days. Fair warning: You will leave this place with more sugar in your bloodstream than a hummingbird, and you will absolutely not regret it. Just don’t blame me when you find yourself driving past three other bakeries to get here. Bottom line: Peinetti’s doesn’t just make good food – they make you feel good about eating it, and Jennifer makes you feel good about being human. In today’s world, that’s worth its weight in snickerdoodle cookie butter. Will definitely be back to continue my torrid love affair with...

Owner, Jen, was hard at work. Bakery assistant, Cade, (don’t know them but always ask for names when I’m trying a new place) took great care of us - explained every item. Bought almost one of everything since it was my first time there - so far, have tried the blueberry muffin (light and flavorful, a little sweet but not too sweet), the sourdough bread (nice and dense, tasty - especially toasted with peanut butter ) and the multi-berry scone (perfect consistency for with coffee) AND, Cade talked up the CARDINAL COFFEE, which is also apparently a Jeannette local - house brew was bold and yummy (Peinettis serves it at their shop - very nice touch - what good are scones & muffins without a hot cuppa coffee?) will be buying more for sure. Can’t wait to try the other items we bought (cinnamon roll, apple cobbler, pecan roll). Will go to PEINETTIS again. Hate having to drive to Pittsburgh for...

What a treat! I tried an assortment of items: Cinnamon Rolls (cinnamon rolls are usually dull without icing, however the icing on these cinnamon rolls was unique BUT the cinnamon roll itself was crafted with enough love that even if your bite was missing some icing they were still delicious)

Focaccia bread (perfect balance of garlic and seasoning)

Chocolate chip cookies (soft and chewy)

Speciality Muffins (unique muffin options like you never saw!)

Blueberry Galette (heaven if you love Blueberry’s it was like being in Maine)

Each item was absolutely divine! I can’t say one was better than the other and I am extremely picky. The items were fresh and each item was perfected perfectly from a to z. I have been to France and ate my way through it 7 years ago, this bakery is a hidden gem and...
