Minerva Bakery

First time at this 100 year old bakery. I was there mid day and they still had a nice selection of pastries and cookies left. Their buttercream icing is so good!! I had a snowball, a cupcake iced 360 degrees and coated in shredded coconut. It was delicious but messy to eat. A fork is a must! Their lady locks are huge and not skimpy on the filling. Looking forward to the apricot bear claw/danish. I'd love to go back but live over an hour away.

Minerva's never disappoints. Always fresh amazing baked food and friendly service. This has been a staple in the McKeesport community forever. Not a fancy bakery but a cute little bakery with solid choices when you want delicious baked goods. We love their buttercream icing because it is not too sweet and gritty.

Minerva Bakery has operated for almost 100 years! Their menu lists desserts such as cakes, cookies, and rolls. Prices are reasonable.My family members are originally from McKeesport, and they have been buying desserts from Minerva for probably decades. They particularly love the cakes, and they often bring the cakes to family get-togethers.Recently, for a birthday party, we bought a chocolate cake and a yellow cake from Minerva. The cakes were moist and flavorful, and the icings were very sweet. The icing on the chocolate cake did fall off, but maybe we just were not careful enough with transporting the cake. A few weeks later, for a party at my house, a family member bought two more cakes--yellow and chocolate--from Minerva. The icing somehow fell off one side of the chocolate cake (that side is not shown in my photo). I enjoyed the flavor of the yellow cake, and I did not try the chocolate cake. I think that these cakes are good but not my all-time favorite.

This bakery is a true diamond in the rough. Their raisin bread is delicate and just the right amount of sweet. The chocolate dipped chocolate chip cookies are another favorite of ours. We recently tried their cinnamon rolls for the first time, and they lived up to the high expectations that I have for Minerva goods. It seems like you can't go wrong with anything baked here. If you're in the area, or even if you're not, this place is definitely worth a stop.

This has got to be the Best bakery secondo only to Oakmont bakery only because of the huge size Oakmont is. However Minervas cupcakes are better than anyone's. The icing is scrumptious. The elephant ears are delicious too and stay fresh for days. Highly recommend this place. Try their honey coated nuts horns...OMG

We stopped by on a sat morning and this place was bustling! The street was pretty quiet, so there was plenty of street parking. They didn't have a lot of breakfast options, mostly just donuts and danishes. There were quite a few kinds of each though. I tried their cheese danish, and it was delightful. The staff was friendly and the service was prompt. Donuts and danishes aren't my favorite breakfast items, but my danish was pretty yummy.

In a rougher part of town but what place isn't great baked goods seriously good quality/stuff and prices are still very great especially for the quality and quantity whe I can catch them actually open I make sure to make it in brownies cookies or doughnuts whichever is your preference you won't be disappointed with any of those options now hopefully I can catch them in the morning after I stop at eat n park for breakfast setting my alarm right now :) only downside is they aren't open longer

Was told they were to have bobalky for Sunday. After driving an hour was told nope bot till tomorrow. ​

This people is very disrespectful and unprofessional and problematic. Make us feel really uncomfortable

Everything is delicious. We use to shop there every summer time take tons of different goodies to our out of state families.
