Blue Rooster Bakehouse

I love Blue Rooster, especially French butter buns, muffins, cheesecakes and cookies. I haven't had coffee and buns at the cafe yet but it looks very comfortable inside!

Have visited this bakehouse 3-4 times . I picked out 6 cookies this last visit which were fine. 1 chocolate chip, 1 oatmeal, 1 toffee crunch, 1 with pretzels on top, 1 double chocolate, i cookie with peanuts. 4 of these were nothing special size wise or any master creation. 4 bite size. 2 were a little bigger so maybe 5-6 bites. all this came to $19.00; this price was excessive. i will not be returning. I feel like they way overcharged me for what i received. It is not hard to find comparable cookies at a different bakery for 12-14 dollars. Food I give 7 out of 10. Service I give 6 of of 10. Ambiance I give 7 out of 10. rating is 1 star because pricing was ridiculous.

Always a great experience!I have been coming her for years. The place is charming and the people are so nice. There is a seating area in the back with chairs and tables to relax or do work. Always a great selection of baked goods that change with the seasons. They offer a drink selection as well

Cute place! I have had a few things from here over the years Carmel cookies, various cupcakes, blueberry muffins, whoopie pies, lemonade. All quite good never walked away with a bad taste in my mouth for some items I was surprised at how good they were. Staff are friendly and attentive.

The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that it was awkwardly silent. I later realized that there was a speaker near the cash register very quietly playing music but I highly recommend that they turn it up or add more speakers because it's a weird silent vibe. The space is lovely with a huge variety of beautiful baked goods ranging from cookies to brownies to carrot cake to peach turnovers. I ended up having the German chocolate whoopie pie and loved it. The textures worked together perfectly and the cake portion wasn't too sweet but the inside was sweet with big chunks of coconut and pecans(?). Loved every bite. I also had an iced coffee and theirs is pretty meh. Honestly, I probably won't be back but I did enjoy my mid-day dessert!

Fantastic plexiglass separation measures for COVID. Very friendly staff and lots of delicious baked goods. Nary a raisin in sight and the staff agreed raisins don't belong in the oatmeal cookies or carrot cake here which is awesome! The mushroom puff was so deliciously flaky and flavorful- definitely a must-try. Really a gem this place is in little Oberlin.The oatmeal cookie was without raisins which is great. It was sweet, chewy, and deliciously moist. The cornflake cookie was just the right mix of caramel, chewy, crispy, salty, and sweet.The cinnamon sugar donut didn't have the lightly crispy fried outside that makes a donut perfect specimen. It was instead just sort of sweet bread puff that was very unremarkable. The peanut butter cookie sandwich was delightfully nutty and not to sweet (but just enough)!I cannot emphasize enough how perfect their chocolate chip cookie was. It ranks among the top five I've had in my life and that is incredibly impressive. It was ideally sweet yet had notes of bittersweet chocolate. It had a tiny note of salt. It was dense but not too thick- moist but not falling apart. Not crumbly at all. It was just absolutely perfect! I am floored!

Just had a near religious experience with a chocolate croissant here today. The coffee is still good. The staff is still very pleasant. A small public restroom in the back is a nice add from the last time I was here. Small sitting room in back gives it a grandma's cottage ambiance. But the star of the show was the chocolate croissant. Not sure how I'm ever going to go back to store bought now. Wish I had taken a picture before I devoured it.

An absolute must-go-here if you find yourself in Oberlin, Ohio!! We picked up road trip snacks this morning after I collected my Oberlin College kid and another student for the long trek back to Chicago for Thanksgiving break! We bought $25 worth of treats for the road and 100% were gone by Toledo! We ate everything!!!! Favorites: Pesto croissants (pine-nut free, which is awesome as two of us are allergic to pine nuts), blackberry puff pastry, raspberry jelly donut, custard+fruit flan, and a cheesy-garlic puff pastry. There is a section of gluten-free treats!!!The staff was super, super nice & helpful!! They were patient with us and answered all of our questions. Boxed up the treats. Sooooo pleasant. Everyone was masked and there is a great big plexiglass barrier for Covid safety. Very well done. I will definitely come back every chance I get!! Thank you!!

Another good place for baked goods. Blue Rooster Bakehouse is one of the best places in Oberlin. They open early so you can start the morning off with a coffee and pastry. It's not a big place but it has places to sit inside. The pastries are fresh and there's vegan choices too. I popped in early one morning. I needed a coffee and was hungry, and this was one of the few places open. The inside smelled so good, and it made me even hungrier so I definitely needed a pastry. Coffee here is kind of limited but it was still good. The one flavor they had was about $2 for a medium. As for the pastries they turned out to be even better. They had a few vegan selections. One that made my mouth water was the vegan ham and cheese. This one was about $3, but it was large and stuffed. It was sitting in the cooler. The owner asked if I wanted it warmed up, and that was definitely the right thing. It tasted very good with the melted pretend cheese. There were other vegan pastries that day cupcakes and muffins. It was very good for pastries with no dairy or eggs. It's a good place for doing work or just relaxing. They also have free wifi.

Stopped in with some friends on a Saturday, and the mood was low and baked goods mediocre. We got a cookie, the key lime bar, and the pretzel brownie. They did have a large selection, but it was hard to see and read what they actually had as signs were small and some were far away and staff was not friendly. There were multiple people working in the small shop, and we were the only customers in yet no one said anything to us until we were ready to pay. Even then, it was minimal interaction with no one seeming like they wanted to be there or wanted us there. The key lime bar was good but nothing special, and the cookie and pretzel brownie were subpar. The brownie was extremely dry and seemed like it was an over cooked box brownie. Coffee options here are extremely limited.
