Pastries A-La-Carte

UPDATE! they called me today and offered me a voucher for the entire cost of the cake! I thought that was above and beyond and very nice!

Avoid if you have nut allergies. But everything we've had here right down to the gluten free cookie tray and sugar free cherry pie was amazing.

Yummmoooo. Any place that said that they are the pastries of the penguins made me want to stop there. I had an appointment at a UPMC center that was down the street and so I saw this bakery on my way to the appointment. And I knew that I was going to stop there on the way back. It is a little bit further out of my way, I only know about it because I passed it, and I knew that if I didn't stop there I probably wouldn't ever be back that way. And I am happy that I did. Everything was beautiful inside.It took me a while to pick some stuff because they had so many things in their cases. But I got an array of cookies and pastries and different things to bring home. They had some frosted bear cookies that I knew that my daughter would love. It was bright pink icing and they looked super cute. And she ate it up so if you have kids those iced cookies are a hit.I will say that I ate a lot more of them in the car then I care to admit. But I did make sure that I did have some left over whenever I got home for my partner. I'm just thoughtful like that. If I'm ever out in the area again I will stop by. The treats were worth it

Some of the best pastries I've had in years. So many different pastries and the ones I got were gone fast after I got them to the party.

Great shop with a variety of offerings. They have many cakes readily available as well - in case you forgot to order in advance.

My mother has to eat gluten free and loves sweets, so we stopped here. They had a nice supply of gluten free cookies, a brownie and a cake, but the prices are crazy. I forced her to buy something since we made the trip, but won't be coming back They do have amazing looking pastries other than gluten free and everything looks great.

I've stopped off here over the years to buy donuts and pastries. This was my first time buying a cake. I wanted a cake for a special occasion (anniversary) that was not off-the-shelf. They helped me come up with a design by asking me questions and showing me pictures for inspiration. The result completely met my expectations and everyone at the celebration gave wonderful compliments. Their website asked for minimal 2 weeks notice so I was sure to order well in advance. It was ready as promised. I will order here again!

Pastries A-La-Carte is the BEST. I had to order a photo cake from out of town, and they were super responsive and super friendly, and wonderful to work with. The cake looked AMAZING, and it tasted even better - it was incredibly moist and not too sweet, the frosting and fillings and everything were perfect! It was a total hit and made my dad and uncle's 80th really special. Thank you soo much!

Their cakes are definitely to die for-delicious. Especially the almond torte with raspberry filling. Lots of other pastries to choose from. Would not recommend the biscotti. Expect to pay.

Thank you thank you for making this special cake and cookies for my daughter's 21st birthday!! It was perfect and tasted delicious!! Kuddos to the baker that did an amazing job on the cake decorating!! The almond cake , raspberry filling was perfection!!!!
