Bartram House Bakery - McMurray

Listen, I have heard a lot of hype about a certain other bakery in the area...don't believe it! Bartram's beats it, HANDS DOWN!! The only problem with my late day visit is that they were sold out of their cakes and my favorite chocolate croissants...but no worries! I definitely purchased alternatives! Try Bartram's Bakery! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

5/13/23 I give Bartram’s 3 stars today, instead of 1, because I live in McMurray don’t want them to leave town. Watching them expand all over the Pittsburgh area, I’m thinking McMurray is the neglected step child. 2010 2020 Bertram’s here was FABULOUS! Eggs Benedict to die for! Pasteries that rivaled Europe. They’re recipes for food are scrumptious, when prepared correctly. Since the Pandemic, the service food preparation has been erratic, at best. DON’T CHANGE YOUR RECIPES. DON’T CHANGE YOUR OFFERINGS. Charge more if you must, but find a regular cook staff that know what they are doing. PLEASE.

For my wife’s birthday we have a yearly tradition of ordering cakes from here. She really fell in love with the Tiramisu so that is the one I usually order. I placed my order for pickup on Saturday April 1st for one full cake at 10am. When I arrived they stated that “someone forgot to do their job and we would make a fresh one if you could return in a few hours. I at that point left my phone number and told them to call me when it was completed. About three hours later they call me and say I can come pick it up. Since there was a mistake on the bakeries end I was hoping for maybe a discount due to their error but they did not offer one. I didn’t say anything as I was happy that I received the cake an paid full price. After I left I looked at the cake when I went to the car and realized that they gave a cake that was pre cut and half the size of all cakes from previous years. So it appears to me that they panicked and pulled some old cake they had out of the freezer and gave it to me at full price. We will most likely not be returning and will have to find a new tradition for my wife’s birthday. Terribly disappointed with how they chose to handle it.

Good choice of fresh baked products such as muffins, scones croissants, variety of macaroons. Had crepes with fresh fruits,which was excellent. So was the breakfast burritos.Crowded indoor seating. Inconvenient for maneuvering an electric wheelchair. Floor was not clean.

Food great but they gave me the wrong cake after ordering it days. I get to the birthday party open the box and see the wrong cake. Called and they told me to bring it back. What was I to do about no cake for the birthday girl. $32 for the birthday girls cake being wrong. Very disappointed! I looked like an ahole. Told her it was in the box and she was so excited! Check what you pickup because it may not be your order even though the slip on the box is yours.
