R Weinrich German Bakery — Restaurant in Newtown Township

I have used this bakery before but noticed it's starting to fail over the past year or 2. This time I ordered cupcakes for a retirement party at work. Three dozen cupcakes, half chocolate half vanilla with sprinkles. I was immediately told that the owner doesn't like sprinkles but since they could not decide how to decorate them they would do it. When I picked up the cupcakes I was in for a shock- the price was $72! I questioned how much the price was and asked the per cupcake price and was told $2 dollars per cupcake and for 36 cupcakes it came to $72. Since these were for a retirement party at my office building and I had made the order a week ahead I didn't have many alternatives. I had not seen them but assumed since they were coming from the bakery that they would be well made and decorated, so I paid the price and left with the cakes. They were served the next morning at the Main Line Health building and I was horrified when I opened the boxes. Only half had sprinkles and they looked like children had iced and decorated them! There was nothing grand or even "made at a bakery" looking about them. Their flavor was average and I could have gotten them at Acme and had nicer looking cakes - as well as CHEAPER! I will not be purchasing cake from this bakery anymore. Luckily I had purchased some happy retirement spikes for cupcakes so it was not a complete disaster. The impression that was left on the guests was also noted because most people made a comment about how they looked. The guests were looking at the top of the boxes and where shocked that these were...

Recently, I ordered a 8-10 person Black Forest Cake on a Friday with a Sunday pickup. I knew when I called I could be denied because I think this is one of their busiest months (graduation parties, birthdays, etc). To my delight, the owner’s daughter graciously accepted my order. It was for my daughters’ birthday and I requested a “Happy Birthday “ message on the cake in pink and purple writing. The cake did NOT disappoint!!! It was nicely decorated and absolutely delicious!!!! I have ordered Black Forest cakes and other baked items in the past and each time they were delicious!!! Yes, they cost more money than a grocery store, but I know I am getting a freshly baked good that is so delicious!!!! To me, it is well worth the price!!!! I think the owner and her daughter do a fantastic job!!! Added bonus: she matched the pink and purple color to the correct name on the cake without me telling her!!! You can’t...

What a delicious old school bakery. When you think of a bakery that has all of the beautiful array of cookies that you see on a platter for a special event, this is that place. Plus their cakes, cinnamon buns, everything I have ever gotten here, is absolutely delicious. You can tell that this is all natural baking with no junk. Real butter, really ingredients, delicious. I'm a firm believer that little bit of something done well with delicious ingredients is much better than a whole lot of junk that comes from a supermarket. Oh by the way, their pricing is terrific. As someone who also frequents the Italian bakeries in South Philly, I can tell you that this is a much...
